Chapter 43: Lin Xiangyi Bribes Lin Shan

“Don’t worry, the Xie family is much better to me than you are,” Lin Xiangyi retorted.

Better to you but doesn’t value you, giving you a bundle of dried vegetables as a dowry? Lin Shan really wanted to pry open Lin Xiangyi’s head to see what was inside.

He glared at Lin Xiangyi for a while, but quickly backed down.

Forget it, forget it, she’s married to Xie Qingxiao now, they are one, how could she not defend Xie Qingxiao?

The important thing is to protect her, keep her under his eye, and make sure the Xie family doesn’t dare to bully her.

“Let’s talk about business!” Lin Shan said impatiently.

“Go ahead,” Lin Xiangyi pulled Xie Qingxiao to sit on the bed, looking up at Lin Shan, “We’re listening.”

Lin Shan: “…” They sat down, but didn’t even get him a chair!

Lin Shan dragged the chair from beside the desk, sat facing Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, and then looked at Xie Qingxiao and said, “I found you a job.”

“…” Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi looked at each other, completely unexpected that Lin Shan would say this.

Now jobs are all one radish one pit, not easy to find at all.

Even if Lin Shan could find a job, shouldn’t it be for Lin Xiangyi, his own daughter? Why would he find one for Xie Qingxiao?

“What kind of job?” Lin Xiangyi asked.

“The butcher in my unit… is a temporary worker,” Lin Shan coughed, he also wanted to find a better job for Xie Qingxiao or Lin Xiangyi, but he couldn’t find one, this temporary butcher job was one he went to the leader with his face, asking the leader to give him.

After he finished, he was afraid that Xie Qingxiao would be too high-minded and wouldn’t accept this job, so he explained, “Although it’s just a temporary worker, it’s only ten yuan a month, but it’s better than you two farming in the countryside, and the factory has good benefits, the canteen provides meals, and you can live at home if you want to.”

He looked at Lin Xiangyi and said, “If you both live at home, I’ll help you out, and life will gradually get better.”

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi: “…”

They finally understood, Lin Shan was afraid that Xie Qingxiao wouldn’t be able to support Lin Xiangyi, so he specially found him a job.

Lin Xiangyi’s expression softened, she looked at Lin Shan and said, “Dad, we appreciate your kindness, but we’ll pass on this job, we’ve already found work.”

“Found work?” Lin Shan was surprised, he hurriedly asked, “What kind of work did you find?”

Lin Xiangyi remembered her business at this moment, she immediately sat up straight, her eyes shining, “That’s right, Dad, this is what I want to tell you.”

These days Lin Shan has also figured out the pattern of Lin Xiangyi’s attitude towards him, she resents the past, and her attitude towards him is usually very impolite.

Only when she needs him will she show this kind of expression.

He chuckled, “Go ahead.”

“Xie Qingxiao, where’s the braised meat?” Lin Xiangyi pushed Xie Qingxiao, “Hurry up and bring it out for Dad to try.”

Xie Qingxiao: “…” Your purpose is too obvious.

But he also understood Lin Xiangyi’s meaning now, he immediately got up and went downstairs to get the braised meat that he had just put downstairs, and also took a pair of chopsticks, smiling, “Dad, try it.”

They put the braised meat in an aluminum lunch box, as soon as they opened it, the rich and domineering aroma of the braised meat filled the air, going straight into Lin Shan’s nose.

Lin Shan subconsciously looked at the soy sauce-colored duck intestines, duck hearts, and duck kidneys in the lunch box, mixed with a lot of cinnamon, bay leaves, chili peppers, peppercorns, etc., and there was a layer of bright red braising juice at the bottom…

Recently, he didn’t have much appetite, maybe because of the weather, but now looking at this plain braised meat, his appetite was whetted.

“These duck offal? Did you buy them?” Lin Shan asked, taking the chopsticks from Xie Qingxiao, picked up a piece of duck kidney and put it in his mouth, immediately praised, “Delicious! I didn’t expect that smelly duck offal could be made so delicious, where did you buy it?”

Xie Qingxiao: “It’s Xiangyi who made it.”

“You made it?” Lin Shan looked at Lin Xiangyi in surprise, “How can you make this kind of thing?” And it’s so delicious.

“I just figured it out myself,” Lin Xiangyi said perfunctorily.

Lin Shan didn’t doubt it, after all, he knew his daughter could cook, it was no wonder that she could figure out such delicious food with her talent.

He continued to eat –

“Dad, is it delicious?” Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile.

“It’s really delicious,” Lin Shan didn’t even look up.

“Then do you think we can sell this if we take it out?” Lin Xiangyi asked again.

“You want to sell it out?” Lin Shan was stunned, he immediately understood what Lin Xiangyi meant by “found work”.

He’s not Xie’s father and mother, because of his work he often travels around, he knows that there are many people doing business outside now, so he’s not so surprised about doing business.

But he also has the common problem of many people in this era – doing business is not respectable, only entering state-owned factories and units is the real deal.

“No!” Lin Shan objected, he said with a stern face, “How can you think about doing business? Only those who can’t find jobs go…”

Lin Xiangyi: “Then don’t we just can’t find jobs, so we go to do it?”

Lin Shan was speechless: “You two are not the same…”

“How are we different?” Lin Xiangyi retorted, “Can you find us jobs? Find a job for me and Xie Qingxiao, not a temporary worker, but a permanent worker.”

Lin Shan: “…” If he had that ability, he would just support them directly.

“Can’t find it, right? Then don’t object,” Lin Xiangyi said bluntly, “A black cat or a white cat, it’s a good cat if it can catch mice! In my eyes, there’s nothing respectable or not about doing business, as long as you can make money and support yourself! But don’t look down on those who do business now, thirty years in the east river, thirty years in the west river, maybe in a few years, you’ll have to call them boss respectfully.”

Lin Shan: “…” You’re the only one who can talk so much!

“Cough,” Xie Qingxiao finally found an opportunity, he said, “Dad, Xiangyi and I have already discussed this, we still think doing business is the most suitable for us.”

“Okay, okay, I can’t persuade you, you can do it if you want to do it,” Lin Shan finally conceded.

“Yes, yes,” Lin Xiangyi’s attitude became courteous again, trying to get to the point, “So, Dad…”

“You want me to use my position to get you wholesale duck offal, right?” Lin Shan looked at Lin Xiangyi, did he really think he couldn’t see through her mind?

“Dad, you’re so smart!” Lin Xiangyi gave Lin Shan a thumbs up, then said righteously:

“But Dad, don’t worry, I won’t let you use your position to do anything sneaky, we have to be upright both in life and in business, right? I just want you to talk to your leader, tell them we have this need, and ask if the factory can give us this convenience.”

“Okay, I know what you mean!” Lin Shan interrupted Lin Xiangyi impatiently, “I’ll talk to the leader, but it’s not guaranteed.”

“Okay,” Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, “It’s okay if it doesn’t work out, we can always discuss it!”
