Chapter 1464: Meeting
Lin Xinyue said calmly," Our intelligence network doesn't seem to be any weaker!"
This information network had many ways of gathering information. Brothels, restaurants, teahouses, streets, alleys, and even the newly established express courier stations. As long as someone wanted to sell any information, the express courier stations would buy it. The opposite was also true.
If they didn't manage to gather the information that the guests needed, they could report it to Lin Yuelan in a special way. In less than three days, the new information that the guests needed would definitely be obtained!
This intelligence network, compared to other industries, started the latest, but it developed the fastest. In less than a year, it had already spread all over the country. Now, it was planning to enter other countries and grasp the information of the entire world.
However, buying and selling information was also very dangerous.
Anyone in this line of work would be selected from all walks of life, but their lives were constantly in danger.
"Yes, I know. You've all worked hard!" Listening to their complaints, Lin Yuelan smiled and said," At the end of the year, I'll give each of you a big red packet!"
"Ah, really!" A few of them were pleasantly surprised and thanked him loudly," Thank you, Master!"
This so-called big red packet was actually the year-end bonus, according to modern people.
Lin Yuelan wasn't a stingy person.
Even though the four Wu siblings, who had changed their names, were still Lin Yuelan's slaves in name, Lin Yuelan had already treated them as family. The four Wu siblings no longer regarded Lin Yuelan as their master or saviour. They treated her as family.
They had long forgotten about the contract they had signed with Lin Yuelan.
Because they knew that as long as they did not betray their master, their master would return the contract to them three years later, and they would become free people!
Of course, the master did not treat them as slaves now. She treated them more as partners and family.
Every time their master made something new, delicious or fun, they would definitely get a share. She would always think about their safety and send elite guards to protect their personal safety.
Lin Xinyue asked boldly and curiously," Master, how much is your so-called big red packet?" Her eyes were flas.h.i.+ng with fervent antic.i.p.ation.
Lin Yuelan glanced at her and said unhappily," One tael, is that considered a big red packet?"
"It doesn't count!" Without waiting for Lin Xinyue to reply, the others asked in unison," Master, at the end of the year, you won't really give everyone one tael, right?"
Lin Yuelan said sinisterly," Why? Is one tael too little? Do you know that this is equivalent to three months of wages for ordinary workers? Am I too generous normally? I gave you thousands of taels of salary, so now you all look down on this one tael, huh?"
Other than the Chen father and son, the rest of them were shocked and quickly shook their heads. "We don't dare. We don't dare!"
Then, Lin Qingzhu smiled cheekily and said," Hehe, actually, this one tael is indeed a big red packet. Don't you think so?"
Everyone nodded in unison." Yes, yes, it's a big red packet!"They spoke very quickly and urgently, afraid that if they were a little slower, they would make their master unhappy. If they really gave them a red packet of one tael at the end of the year, they would have nowhere to cry.
Of course, it wasn't that they didn't like this one tael. However, compared to the other gifts Lin Yuelan had given them, one tael was too little.
They were indeed already used to expensive items.
Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes and said," That's enough. You don't have to say things that you don't mean!" These people were really getting more and more disrespectful. They actually looked down on one tael.
Of course, Lin Yuelan was obviously joking with them.
Chen Shanbiao and his son watched the interaction between Lin Yuelan and the others enviously.
The others had been following Lin Yuelan since she started these businesses. The father and son had joined them halfway through and were not familiar with them. They could not bear to joke around with Lin Yuelan.
