Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 124 Guess
The next day!

Lai Shangrong came to the Yamen.

Yuan Chengtao came forward with a frown on his face and said in a low voice: "Sir! The documents from the Ministry of Personnel were sent yesterday, and the handover from the Labor Department of the Qin Dynasty was completed, and I will be here today."

"Oh?"

Lai Shangrong immediately summoned a group of subordinates and came to the gate of the State Administration Department to greet him.

"Governor Chen! Are the arrangements in the main hall ready?"

"Return to your lord! I received the official document from the Ministry of Personnel yesterday and my subordinates have made arrangements!"

“Have the construction drawings of Governor Huang and Governor Zhang’s glass factory been completed?”

Huang Xin smiled and said: "Back to your lord! It's all completed. We just need to wait for Lord Qin to take a look at it and the money collected will be received before the construction can begin!"

Zhang Bingchen added: "It was just completed yesterday, and Sir Xiu Mu hasn't had time to show it to you yet!"

Although carrots and sticks complement each other, there is no doubt that the stick is more deterrent.

In the previous life, beautiful countries wielded big sticks everywhere, and we helped build infrastructure and attract investment. However, there were always some foreign countries that took our flesh and changed their tune as soon as the big stick came.

To put it bluntly, giving a carrot can satisfy your hunger, but a stick can really kill you, so rewards and punishments must complement each other.

Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to wield a big stick.

These two people had participated in the construction of the early glass R&D factory, so Lai Shangrong was not in a hurry to touch them. After all, the remaining value had to be used, but it was necessary to leave this kind of idle investment on the wall.

However, there was a difference in the two's replies. Huang Xin didn't mention a word to himself, but only said that he wanted to show Qin Ye a look, and Zhang Bingchen still had some sense of propriety.

While Lai Shangrong was thinking about how to arrange the two of them, Qin Ye's bike frame had arrived.

"Master Qin!"

"Master Lai!"

Qin Ye looked at Huang Xin and others who were leaning forward and waved, "You all go down and do your work! Let's go to the hall to talk, Mr. Lai!"

"Sir, please!"

Seeing the two of them entering the main hall hand in hand, everyone outside had mixed feelings.

Yuan Chengtao recalled Lai Shangrong's calmness when he heard about Qin Ye's appointment. He had some understanding of the relationship between the two, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

Huang Xin and Zhang Bingchen were worried, wondering whether Qin Ye's pretentious behavior was just a pretense.

Others are gloating about others' misfortunes, others are jealous, and so on.

When he came to the main hall, Qin Ye stopped pretending.

"Your nephew has any ideas, just let him go, and the old man will not hold you back."

Lai Shangrong had no choice but to express his respect and told Qin Ye his thoughts.

Then the two called for the subordinate officials and summoned the staff of the department.

"Our state-owned department now has more staff. I just discussed with Mr. Qin that the logistics support work in the department must also keep up. Governor Huang will be responsible for this from now on. You will be responsible for distributing everyone's tea, pens, inks, papers and inkstones." .

In the past few days, Master Qin and I have finalized the equity subscription matter. Governor Zhang went to the site to supervise the construction, and the newly arrived Governor Hu Kuang will be responsible for the work of Huang and Zhang..."

Huang Xin and Zhang Bingchen looked at Qin Ye, who was looking like a bag of rice throughout the whole process, closing his eyes and concentrating, and felt very upset in their hearts.

As soon as Lai Shangrong returned to the check-in room, Xiao Henian, who was in charge of stock registration, walked in.

"Sir, please take a look! This is the list of people who have registered for shares recently!"

They are all good at observing words and emotions. Although they don't know the inside story, it is obvious that the boss of the state-owned department will have the final say in the future.

Lai Shangrong took over the registration list and made a rough estimate. It was more than double the expected 30 taels. This was because the middle- and lower-level officials were self-aware and did not come to register.

Although he has great rights, he also has great responsibilities. Those who have bought shares may not accept his affection, but those who have been excluded will probably resent him.

You can expand the capital pool by accepting all orders, which will undoubtedly dilute the shares. The purpose of investing in shares is to make money. Insufficient returns in the future will also be a problem.

After thinking about it, I decided to set up a priority system. Those who were not selected this time will have priority next time they invest in shares. If you give these people a thought, they will not do too much.

He took out the secret folder from the drawer and reported his ideas one by one.As soon as he put away the secret folder, he saw Qin Ye knocking on the door and coming in.

"Good nephew! Leave a share of this equity to the Ning Mansion!"

Ok?
Just when Lai Shangrong was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered that Qin Ye had said to talk to Jia Zhen about Qin Keqing.

He hurriedly asked: "This... can Jia Zhen agree?"

Qin Ye hesitated and said: "I am somewhat certain that the Ning Mansion is not as good as the Rong Mansion, and the family has no real needs. If there had not been that kind of income in recent years, we would have been unable to make ends meet."

"My lord, you can figure it out! But you can't give too much!"

Lai Shangrong couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't say too harshly in front of Jia's mother. Ning Mansion got a share of Shijia, and Xiangyun got an even smaller share, but he could only apologize.

Not to mention how Lai Shangrong handles official duties.

Sister Feng, who was recuperating on the bed, slept until three o'clock in the morning and yawned lazily and comfortably. She was always strong and scheming, so she never slept well, and it was common for her to wake up at night.

But yesterday, Lai Shangrong tore him apart and made me walk unsteadily. I thought that the night would be sore and painful, but I didn't expect to sleep until dawn.

Fortunately, she told Ping'er to take leave last night.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Ping'er walking in.

"Grandma is awake? I'll get you some water!"

"Ah!~Oh~!~"

Sister Feng stretched and sat up. She felt that her whole body was clear and comfortable, and even the pain from yesterday had disappeared.

I lifted the thin quilt and got out of bed wearing only my pajamas and went to the dressing table. I looked at the dressing mirror that Lai Shangrong had given me yesterday and admired myself.

Looking at her pink and rosy cheeks in the mirror, they are as delicate and beautiful as green plants after being watered by rain and dew. Although she has not applied makeup, she is even more radiant than before.

He couldn't help but raise his hands and press his cheeks, staring blankly at himself in the mirror.

Ping'er came in with some water and saw Sister Feng dazed in front of the dressing table. She dropped the basin and came behind her.

"Grandma, she doesn't look like she's sick today. She seems to have taken some kind of miraculous medicine!"

As he spoke, he picked up a hairpin and started making gestures on Sister Feng's head.

"What did you say?"

Ping'er was startled by her sudden question.

"I said grandma doesn't look sick anymore!"

"Next sentence!"

"It's like taking some magic pill!"

"Okay! Okay! I didn't expect this!"

"What did grandma say?"

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and said, "I wonder why my sister-in-law's complexion suddenly became better and she became more lively. I didn't expect it to be this reason!"

"Why did grandma get involved with grandma again?"

"That toad must have hooked up with my sister-in-law a long time ago!"

Ping'er exclaimed: "How is that possible?" Then he quickly covered his mouth.

"Grandma can't talk nonsense!"

Sister Feng glared at her and said angrily: "What are you afraid of? He has even stolen from us, and he is still afraid of many sisters-in-law?"

Ping'er said aggrievedly: "My slave is telling you not to accuse me unjustly!"

"Bah!" Sister Feng spat: "Did I wrong him? He has never been profitable and can't get up early. I just asked him to make a living, and he dared to do that. If my sister-in-law hadn't given her enough sweetness, how could he be like that? Kindly teach Lan Xiaozi! It’s strange that I told my sister-in-law that she took some miraculous medicine last time, but she didn’t dare to look at me!”

When he said this, his face suddenly turned purple, he covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Isn't it really true?~"
