But now, his boss had asked him to acknowledge a goddaughter.
His relationship with Lin yuelan was, in a sense, an employer-employee relationship. Lin yuelan was the employer, and he was the servant. However, they were not servants who had signed a contract, so they were in a cooperative relationship.
Therefore, it was reasonable to say that this matter of recognizing his family and daughter was Li Huaisheng’s private matter. Even if Lin yuelan was the main employer, she couldn’t interfere.
However, Li Huaisheng and Lin yuelan had been working together for a long time, and he was very clear that Lin yuelan definitely didn’t suggest this for no reason. She must have some other purpose.
Of course, if he didn’t want to, Lin yuelan wouldn’t force him.
However, he and his wife really wanted to have a child by their side.
If this person was introduced by Lin yuelan, it meant that Lin yuelan had other motives and good intentions.
Therefore …
After Li Huaisheng agreed, he immediately fixed his gaze on the 17 or 18-year-old girl standing next to Lin yuelan and guessed, ” could it be her? ”
Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” that’s right. It’s her.”
However, there were some things that she didn’t want to hide from Li Huaisheng, so she said bluntly, ” she’s a servant that I bought from the government. However, I promised them that as long as they create enough value for me within these three years and are loyal to me, then, three years later, I will return them their freedom.”
This also told Li Huaisheng that although the daughter he wanted to acknowledge was a servant now, she would be a commoner in three years. He shouldn’t be too calculative about her status.
When Li Huaisheng heard that this child was actually an official servant, he was immediately surprised.
He would never have thought that the daughter Lin yuelan wanted him to acknowledge was a servant.
Although he was a merchant, he was also from a commoner’s family. To acknowledge an official servant was obviously a little lowering his own status.
However, Lin yuelan also said that after three years, the child would be free. This meant that there was no problem with the child.
Li Huaisheng thought for a moment and said, ” this child’s eyes are pure and calm. She’s a good child. In that case, child, if you are willing to be my Goddaughter, then I will be your Godfather!”
Lin Jinlan was shocked. She didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. Then, without thinking about anything else, she immediately bowed to Li Huaisheng and called out sweetly, ” Godfather!”
When Li Huaisheng heard her call him Godfather, he immediately wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. He gave Lin Jinlan fake support and said, ” Okay, okay. From now on, you’re my good daughter!”
Lin yuelan, who was sitting next to him, was speechless.
It was beyond her expectations that things would go so smoothly.
After all, with Lin Jinlan’s status as an official servant, most people wouldn’t stoop so low as to acknowledge a servant as their family.
She originally thought that she would at least have to find some reasons or benefits to convince Li Huaisheng.
In fact, Lin yuelan didn’t know why Li Huaisheng made the decision after thinking for a moment. It was because he believed that Lin yuelan, the owner, would never harm him. She herself was not simple, so the child she found must not be simple either.
Rather than making things difficult for Lin yuelan, he might as well just accept it.
However, Lin yuelan had to make it clear now why she was proposing. Otherwise, Li Huaisheng would think that she was lying to him, and the trust between them would be like walking on a tightrope, very dangerous.
Lin yuelan waved her hand and said, ” uncle li, don’t rush. Please let me finish. ”
Her eyes were sharp, and she looked at Li Huaisheng with a serious expression. She said bluntly, ” uncle li, in fact, the other reason I want you to recognize Jinlan as your daughter is that I want her to gradually take over the Linyue Pavilion and the Mengyue Pavilion.
“Now, other than you, me, and little li, who know that these two shops belong to me, the others think that they belong to you.
“However, I have a very clear goal for my development. Not only do I want to open these two shops in Ning An Town, but I also want to open shops in the county, prefecture, provincial, capital, and even the whole world.
“Therefore, I need a young and capable person to carry out all of this on my behalf. Do you understand what I’m saying, uncle li?”
In fact, Lin yuelan’s words to li Huaisheng were to hint that Li Huaisheng was a little old and wasn’t suitable to run around for these things. In fact, the most important thing was that Li Huaisheng’s ability was limited, and he didn’t have the ability to execute it.
Li Huaisheng, of course, understood what Lin yuelan meant, but he was even more shocked by Lin yuelan’s ambitions.
To open the Linyue Pavilion and the Mengyue Pavilion all over the world, how great of an ambition did she have? and he was only content with the status quo, living in a shop in Ning An town.
Li Huaisheng’s heart trembled as he asked, “boss, are you really going to open up the Linyue Pavilion and the Mengyue Pavilion all over the world? Will this really work?” One must know that to complete these things, other than ability, one must also have connections.
On the other hand, Lin yuelan had been born and raised in the Lin family Village, so how could she have developed her connections?
Lin yuelan replied, ” of course.” If this still didn’t work, then her plan would have been in vain.
Li Huaisheng looked at Lin yuelan’s confident look and immediately calmed down. After thinking for a moment about Lin yuelan’s words, he also asked very seriously, ” so, after I acknowledge this child as my goddaughter, she will become a daughter in the Li family. As long as I gradually hand over the Linyue Pavilion and the Mengyue Pavilion to her, there won’t be any suspicions. There won’t be any suspicions that these two shops are related to you, right? ”
Lin yuelan nodded and replied, ” that’s right. I don’t want to be exposed now, so I can only find someone to represent me. Before that, everyone knew that these two shops belonged to you.”
Li Huaisheng nodded and replied, ” yes, I understand. How about this? Three days later, I’ll hold a three-day banquet and invite all the neighbors to have a meal. At the same time, I’ll tell everyone that I have a daughter.”
Lin yuelan replied, ” yes, that would be great.”
