Even though Lu Geng is a man who has seen the world, this is his first time in the palace in the real sense. For this reason, he specially dressed up and put on what he thought was the most luxurious clothes. His wife said , no matter what clothes he wears, compared with the people in the palace, he is inferior.
"You don't understand this. Although my rank is not as high as theirs, I wear the clothes that I think are the best, which shows that I value them. Besides, what other clothes in the world can compare to Does the emperor wear better clothes?"
There is no doubt that there are so many industries under Lu Yao, why did Lu Geng be chosen as the person in charge of the lottery station? It can be said that there is a lot of knowledge. Although Lu Geng is a little clever, he has a very high emotional intelligence, and he is very knowledgeable. He doesn't feel uncomfortable talking, and judging from the fact that he has been operating a lottery station for such a long time and his income has skyrocketed, Lu Geng is also very good at understanding people's mentality.
There are definitely only a few people who win big prizes by buying lottery tickets, and more people spend their money in vain or even lose money. What's more, there are people like Pan Wen who spend a lot of money and end up with nothing. Of course. , as the son of Fan Lou, it doesn’t matter how much money he has. Pan Wen is not short of money, but ordinary people who invest all their savings in the lottery industry can only lose everything in the end.
The number of such people is not small, but what is interesting is that although there are people who come to the lottery station to cause trouble, there has not been a large-scale conflict or very violent quarrel in the lottery station for such a long time. Lu Yao feels that There are two main reasons for this. The first is naturally related to the fact that the lottery station is a royal business. Lu Geng is an operator, but the boss behind the lottery station is the emperor. It is no longer a secret. Therefore, the people No matter how much you want to cause trouble, you don't dare to mess with the royal family. But having said that, they have already gone bankrupt and there are many people who are not afraid of anything. They don't care whether it is a royal business or not. At this time, Lu Geng's role is It can be used.
Relying on his high emotional intelligence, he can always calm the emotions of these troublemakers, which is what reassures Lu Yao the most. Therefore, yesterday, when Tangxi was asked to send a letter to Lu Geng, stating the future situation of the lottery station , Lu Yao did not give Lu Geng any specific advice, because he knew that according to Lu Geng's emotional intelligence, he could definitely deal with the emperor. If he gave any specific advice, it would actually affect Lu Geng's performance.
At this time, Lu Geng was walking on the way to the audience, thinking about what he should say when he saw the emperor.
For this purpose, he had prepared for a long time, memorized everything he was going to say, and practiced it several times before leaving. However, he did not expect that after meeting the emperor, he would not have the chance to say too much.
"What is the current form of the lottery station?" Unlike meeting other courtiers, Zhao Zhen met with Lu Geng to discuss the lottery station this time. Because most of the income ended up in Zhao Zhen's own pocket, so today he is not Talking to Lu Geng as an emperor is more like a superior-subordinate conversation between the boss and the general manager. But even so, because of Zhao Zhen's special status, Lu Geng still felt a lot of pressure.
"Lu Yao said that he would just let me obey your Majesty's command. He is no longer an operator." Lu Geng thought for a moment and said. He knew that with the emperor's IQ, he would naturally understand what he meant by this sentence.
, that is, he will change from working for Lu Yao to working for Zhao Zhen. For example, Zhao Zhen will have to bear the wages and benefits.
Zhao Zhen naturally understood what Lu Geng meant, so he asked the eunuch to show Lu Geng the contract he had drafted. Lu Geng looked at it and was very surprised. Zhao Zhen wrote it clearly in the contract. After that, the lottery
10% of the website's monthly income will be distributed to Lu Geng, and there will also be a fixed income of 30 guan each month to Lu Geng. This is much more than the salary Lu Yao gave Lu Geng before. Although Lu Yao
Yao used to give Lu Geng a fixed salary of fifty guan every month, but there was no share of it. Of course, all the income at that time was given to Zhao Zhen. Lu Yao attached great importance to the accounts, so he had no money to give to Lu Geng. But now
The boss has been replaced by the emperor. Although the fixed income has dropped, this 10% income is a huge amount for Lu Geng.
In addition, the contract also states that 10% of the revenue from this lottery station will be shared with Lu Yao. After all, it was Lu Yao who made the suggestion to Zhao Zhen. Although he is no longer doing it now, this suggestion alone will bring
The profits earned were enough to be worthy of this 10% share. Lu Geng felt that Zhao Zhen's move was very reasonable. It not only took care of his emotions, but also made arrangements for Lu Yao to prevent anyone from thinking that the emperor was crossing the river to burn bridges.
Because Lu Yao was not here today, Zhao Zhen brought another contract and asked Lu Geng to bring it to Lu Yao, sign it, and the contract would come into effect. Then he said that Lu Geng would directly send income to the palace every month.
When it comes to saving money, just send 10% of the income directly to Lu Yao.
Now that the emperor had arranged everything, Lu Geng felt that he only needed to obey the order, but it was a pity that the speech he had prepared for so long was of no use.
Zhao Zhen then said that if nothing happened, Lu Geng could go back. Although he felt regretful, Lu Geng still left the palace obediently. This time when he entered the palace, Lu Geng got a more profitable contract than before, and he was very grateful.
Lu Yao, yesterday I was a little unhappy when I first received the letter from Tang Xi. I felt that working for the emperor would not be so easy. Maybe the emperor would send someone to monitor me. But now it seems that it is indeed the case.
I don't want to think too much. Zhao Zhen just said that things will remain the same as before and that he will not add new manpower to the lottery station. Now the business of the lottery station is booming. As long as there are no major problems and he can make money every month, Zhao Zhen doesn't want to.
Spending too much energy on this. Because strictly speaking, the income from this lottery station should be regarded as Zhao Zhen's own business, rather than the royal family's business that goes into the treasury, so there is really no need to send anyone there.
Facts have proved that Lu Yao's statement is correct. Lu Geng switched to working for Zhao Zhen and was able to get more income, and everything is the same as before, seemingly unchanged. Sure enough, Lu Yao is trustworthy. Thinking of it
Here, Lu Geng plans to go to the Lu Mansion to thank Lu Yao in person in the evening, but he is a little worried about what to bring there. Lu Yao can make all this good wine and delicious food, but he still has the proper etiquette.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was indispensable, so Lu Geng decided to go to the Lu Mansion tonight.
At this time, Lu Yao was walking with Chen Chen on the way to Chen's house. Chen Chen's psychology at this time could be said to be completely different from Lu Geng's. He was constantly thinking about what the young master's plan was to find his father. Because it was him.
Due to business reasons, and Pan Wen and Chen Chen were not very interested in business, Lu Yao did not tell Chen Chen and Pan not only the hot pot industry and food court, but also what he said in the meeting yesterday.
Wen. Chen Chen has just learned about Lu Yao's identity change, but Pan Wen still doesn't know about the changes in Lu Yao's industry. Chen Chen knows that Lu Yao has always had no rules when it comes to doing things. This matter of identity change,
It also suddenly occurred to me yesterday, and when he said he was going to visit his father today, was it just a whim, or did he have a plan? In addition, what Lu Yao just said about asking Lao Chen if he could cook was also true.
It caught Chen Chen's attention. Could it be that he wanted his father to become a chef? But hadn't the young master's secret recipes been sold to the Pan family, and Chen Chen didn't know the internal operations of the bank. In his opinion, Lu Yao
The formula should have been handed over to boss Pan Yuanwu. Otherwise, with his many years of business experience, how could he spend 200,000 yuan to come up with it? This money must have its value. In this case, Lu Yao asked Chen Chen his
The question of whether his father could cook seemed very strange to Chen Chen.
Along the way, Lu Yao saw the changes in Chen Chen's expression. He did not reveal the purpose of his trip. It was also to train Chen Chen's ability to think independently. Although he had turned from a boss to a shareholder, he was invisibly
Chen Chen's work has become much easier since then. But to the outside world, Chen Chen is also Lu Yao's housekeeper. In the future, when he faces different people and different problems, he must have the ability to handle problems independently. Compared with
In addition to Tangxi's equal treatment of outsiders, Chen Chen's internal emotional intelligence test was even more severe for him. After all, the people he came into contact with were all people related to Lu Yao, so the propriety between words and solutions
The method and method of asking questions are very important. Therefore, there is no problem in training his ability in this area now.
The two walked together and arrived at the edge of the inner city of Bianliang. Only a wall separated them, which already determined the two completely different living conditions in the inner city and the outer city. Lu Yao looked at Chen Chen's newly built house. Although it was simple, it was definitely
It was much better than the place they lived in the outer city. For Chen Chen, he was undoubtedly lucky. He met Lu Yao. From that time on, his life trajectory changed, but how many of them were related to him?
There are people who work hard all day in the outer city just so that their families can have a good meal? Lu Yao knew that he could not count them.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh.
This sigh was heard by Chen Chen. He thought it was Lu Yao sighing about his house, so he quickly said: "Sir, I just moved to the inner city not long ago. I keep everything simple. I hope you don't dislike it."
Lu Yao came back to his senses, looked at Chen Chen, and said quickly: "Don't worry too much. The sigh I just made was not because of your family. I just thought of some people in the outer city, so I was a little sentimental."
Chen Chen naturally believed in Lu Yao. When he heard what he said, Chen Chen couldn't help but think of his friends who worked hard with him every day in the outer city, so he said: "Sir, you are right, I am lucky.
, I met you, and that’s why I became who I am now. It’s because of you that I can move to the inner city. However, there are more people in the outer city who are homeless and have nothing to eat.
situation."
Lu Yao nodded and said: "Yes, the reason why I joined the court as an official and transformed all the industries is so that I can wait until one day in the future to do something for them. I may not be able to change all the people in Bianliang City.
situation, but I can do as much as I can, it’s better than having nothing to do.”
At this time, Chen Chen's father, Lao Chen, was at home. He and his wife heard footsteps outside the door, and then voices. Lao Chen Xin said that he didn't spend much time in the inner city. At this time,
When my son Chen Chen should be busy working, who came to the house?
Lao Chen is getting older and has some hearing loss. Fortunately, his wife at the side heard the voice of Chen Chen among the speakers and said, "It's my son who is back."
When Lao Chen heard this, he became very angry and said, "I don't know what happened to this guy again. If he doesn't work hard, he will run home."
"Oh, don't make any conclusions yet, I'll go take a look first." After calming down Old Chen's bad temper, his wife quickly opened the door and went out. Chen Chen and Lu Yao just walked to the door.
"Mother." Chen Chen looked at his mother and said.
Lu Yao was a little confused at this time. How should he call Chen Chen's mother? Aunt? Eldest sister? In the end, he really couldn't think of it. Lu Yao could only bow to Chen Chen's mother very respectfully and said an internationally accepted title.
.
"Hello, aunt."
Mother Chen saw that Chen Chen had brought a friend back, so she smiled and let the two of them in. Then she called out Old Chen who was in the room, saying that Chen Chen had brought a friend.
Old Chen was a little confused and said to himself that Chen Chen had never brought friends to his home since he moved to the inner city. This was understandable. Lu Yao and Pan Wen were two people who had a good relationship with his son.
The celebrity next to the emperor and the other one is Fan Lou's young master. Their economic conditions and social status are much higher than Chen Chen's. They are not willing to come to this shabby house, and Chen Chen naturally has no face to give in.
They came to his home. In Lao Chen's opinion, since they are Chen Chen's friends, they must be similar to Chen Chen in all aspects. Maybe they are Chen Chen's team members. This is not bad. Chen Chen finally made friends.
When Lao Chen thought about a friend he could take home to chat with, he was really happy for his son. On the other hand, he also left the room and went to the hall, wanting to see what kind of person this friend his son had made was like.
But when Lao Chen left the room and came to the hall to see Lu Yao, he bowed directly to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was a little confused. He had never met Chen Chen's father before, so why would he suddenly bow to him, so he said:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Old man, this is what you are doing."
Old Chen raised his head, looked at Lu Yao, and said, "You should be Mr. Lu Yao."
Lu Yao was very surprised and quickly asked Lao Chen how he knew his identity.
Old Chen smiled and said: "Master Lu Yao is the only person with this status around my son who is well-dressed and well-behaved. Everyone else who comes into contact with him on weekdays is the same as him."
Common people, I can still tell the difference."
As expected of Lao Jianghu, who has been hanging out in the outer city for half his life, he looks at people with a very vicious eye, which is exactly what Lu Yao needs. Lu Yao looked at Lao Chen and said: "Since Uncle Chen has discovered it, this junior will no longer
Cover it up, I am Lu Yao."
Old Chen nodded and motioned to his wife and Chen Chen to come to him and said, "Mr. Lu, you are the benefactor of our Chen family. Please accept our respects from our whole family."
After saying that, he pulled his wife and Chen Chen to kneel down in front of Lu Yao. This shocked Lu Yao. He knew in his heart that compared to modern people, ancient people valued reputation and integrity more than anything else.
Important. The saying that a man has gold at his knees was more relevant in ancient times. How could I be able to bear the kneeling worship of a family of three? If I accepted this, my life might be shortened if I returned home.
Lu Yao quickly helped Lao Chen's family up and said, "Uncle Chen, there's no need to be like this. I didn't come here today to make you kneel down."
Mother Chen on the side said: "I wonder if Mr. Lu has come to my humble residence and has something to say. Did Chen Chen get into trouble outside?"
Old Chen looked at Chen Chen and said, "You kid, have you forgotten who you are since you came to the inner city? Have you caused trouble to Mr. Lu?"
Chen Chen looked innocent, shook his head quickly, and looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao said with a smile: "No, no, the two old men misunderstood. I have nothing to do today. I just finished doing things outside with Chen Chen, walked, and then came here."
Old Chen knew that Lu Yao's words were obviously being rude. Even if a big shot like him wandered around Bianliang City, he would never come to his home in a remote location. Master Lu Yao
It seemed that he was very scheming, and when he visited today, there must be something to discuss. So Lao Chen decided not to speak and waited for Lu Yao to continue.
Lu Yao continued: "I happened to feel a little hungry when I walked here, so I asked Chen Chen. I found out that the second old man was good at his craftsmanship, so he thought about having lunch at Chen Chen's house. Is it possible?"
Unexpectedly, what Lu Yao said was beyond Old Chen's expectation. As for Mr. Lu Yao, whom Chen Chen served, Lao Chen had also heard from his son that Mr. Lu was not only good at writing, but also had many ideas.
He is also a master of cooking skills, and his cooking is quite delicious. For such a top chef, if he suddenly said that he would come to his own home for dinner today, wouldn't this lower his status?
Mother Chen on the side was naturally aware of Lu Yao's status in the food industry, and said quickly: "Mr. Lu, our family only has a simple diet. Maybe the things we cook are not to your liking."
Lu Yao waved his hand and said: "Auntie, you don't have to be polite. There are always so many things to eat at home on weekdays. It's not bad to experience simple meals occasionally."
Mother Chen felt that what she and Lao Chen made might lower Lu Yao's impression of Chen Chen, so she didn't want Lu Yao to eat here. She still couldn't understand the purpose of Lu Yao's trip. But Lao Chen
Having already understood something, he signaled his wife to stop talking, stood up from his seat, and said: "Since Mr. Lu doesn't dislike our craftsmanship, just wait here for a while, and my wife and I will make some food for you to taste.
.”
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Thank you."
Lao Chen and his wife came to the kitchen. Chen's mother was very confused as to why Lao Chen agreed to cook for Lu Yao. What kind of person was Lu Yao? Fan Lou's recipes were all formulated by Lu Yao. How could he get used to them?
The craft of two people.
Lao Chen said that Lu Yao was obviously here for their meal today and wanted to see his and his wife's cooking skills. Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Mr. Lu was selling in his gourd, since
He is Chen Chen's noble person. He has requested it and has already paid a visit. Naturally, he has to make this meal.
Chen's mother didn't know what to do for a while, but Lao Chen said that it didn't matter what he ate at home.
So, the two searched for ingredients and finally decided to make an egg fried rice for Lu Yao. Chen's mother thought the egg fried rice was a bit shabby, so Lao Chen took out a good piece of tenderloin that she had bought before.
I left it to cook something for Chen Chen tonight, but I couldn't lose my identity in front of my benefactor, so I fried it with the meat.
At this time, Lu Yao and Chen Chen were waiting in the main hall. Chen Chen was very uneasy. Although his parents had promised to cook for Lu Yao, he himself knew very well what was eaten at home, and the young master must not be used to it.
By this time, Chen Chen seemed to understand that Lu Yao came to his home today just to let his parents cook a meal for him, but what was the purpose of doing this?
After a while, Lu Yao smelled the aroma of rice, and he exclaimed: "It smells so good." Then he looked at Chen Chen and told his previous story. Of course, Lu Yao also lived in poverty in modern times. Everyone has it.
When he didn't have enough to eat and didn't make much money, why would Lu Yao dislike the food cooked by the old Chen couple? Of course, he replaced his period with the stage when he ran away from home, which made Chen Chen feel relieved
Come here to show that you are not limited to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you have also lived a life of eating bran-fed vegetables.
Chen Chen's slight relief was extinguished by the large bowl of egg fried rice that Lao Chen brought out. Really, his father actually made such a common staple food for Lu Yao, and even omitted the vegetables.
.
Lu Yao didn't think there was anything wrong. He looked at the bowl of egg fried rice in front of him and could tell at a glance that the meat in it was fresh. It seemed that he had used the latest ingredients because of his arrival.
Lao Chen served Lu Yao a full bowl. Lu Yao took it without being polite and took a big bite.
Then Lu Yao praised: "It's delicious, it's so delicious!"
