It was still very early to leave the mansion, and it was not too long to walk back, but it was already dark when I returned to the mouth of the alley. ｗｗ?ｗ?．?

It's just that it doesn't matter if it's a playful tiger girl or a more homely Lin Ran, but there are no complaints. On the contrary, as they approached their own house, they both smelled the warm smell of home.

The wide blue brick alleyway has been darkened, but the innermost house is lit up, and the two large lanterns in front of the mansion have been hung high, like a lighthouse to point out the direction for people returning at night.

"I'm back!"

Tiger Girl seemed to be very energetic, and suddenly rushed towards the open door.

Lin Ran wasn't too tired, but he was already a little out of breath along the way. looked up and saw the tiger girl rushing ahead, but shook her head helplessly.

Even if you want to become a wild girl, you don't have extraordinary physical strength and energy, and I'm afraid you can't do it.

"Lord Lin, you made me wait!"

When he walked to the door, he found a carriage parked next to him, and the voice of a middle-aged man came from the darkness.

Hey?

Lin Ran inquired about the prestige and looked at the person who came by the light. I thought it was a big man in the court, but the middle-aged man who got out of the carriage was wearing a set of servants' clothes, and it turned out to be the big housekeeper of which family.

"I'm Yan San, the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion, this is the invitation given to you by the young master of my family, Yan Shifan, for you to come to the mansion tonight!" Yan San handed over a beautifully framed post and said coldly and arrogantly.

is the so-called: the prime minister's door in front of the three officials, this Yan San, as the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion, naturally appears to be detached. I'm afraid that I'm used to seeing too many groveling squires and local governors and governors, but I resolutely didn't take a small Zhengsipin Shuntian Mansion in his eyes.

Lin Ran was not annoyed, the city still had this, and quietly accepted the exquisite invitation. Yan San handed the post to Lin Then, he didn't even say hello, turned around and got into the car and left.

Lin Ran looked at the arrogant servant, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he watched the carriage disappear at the mouth of the alley. It's just that Yan Shifan's attempt to invite him was uncertain for a while.

Yan Hong's case fell on the Shuntian Mansion, once Yan Hong was notorious, then Yan Shifan, the father, would also be unable to escape the blame, and even Yan Song would be implicated to a certain extent.

is also the case, Yan Shifan must choose to ensure that Yan Hong is safe and sound no matter what, and cannot let Yan Hong bear the charge of murder and blame others, and it is very likely that he will be appeased by him, the Shuntian Mansion.

Of course, Yan Shifan's last request for shares in Lianhe Fang has not yet been finalized, and it is possible that he is coming for this matter.

"Master, Yang Yuanwai, Zhao Yuanwai and Huang Yuanwai of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce are waiting for you in the side hall, saying that there is something important to discuss!" As soon as he entered the house, the housekeeper Lin Jinyuan came up to report.

Lin Ran's brows furrowed slightly, although he really wanted to know what happened immediately and why he was waiting for him here together. Sometimes, however, composure is not only for the opponent to see, but also for oneself.

"You tell them to wait a little longer, and I'll change my clothes and come out to meet them!"

Lin Ran pondered for a moment, and did not immediately go to the living room to meet guests, but chose to return to the inner house to change into a set of home clothes, and instructed the housekeeper Lin Jinyuan lightly.

In the living room, the fragrance of tea lingers.

Yang Chunlai and the others watched Lin Ran come in, as if they suddenly had a backbone, and their hearts seemed to be a lot more settled. Especially looking at Lin Ran's calm appearance, it made them feel more down-to-earth.

"I've kept you waiting!"

Lin Ran sat down in the master's position and said gently.

"It's our absurdity that bothers Lord Lin!"

Yang Chunlai and the others stood up and shook their heads together, and said apologetically.

After Lin Ran asked them to sit down, he looked unconcerned, holding the tea lid and gently plucking the hot tea. When the atmosphere was almost over, he looked up and asked calmly, "You guys are suddenly visiting tonight, I don't know what happened?" ”

Yang Dafu couldn't hold it back for a long time, and said indignantly: "Lord Lin, Yan Shifan suddenly insisted that he would have forty percent, and threatened that he would not be able to lose a penny, let us give him an exact answer tonight!" ”

Since the last time Yan Shifan's lion opened his mouth, the United Business Group has also sent personnel to negotiate with Yan Shifan's side, and Yan Shifan's side seems to have the intention of backing down. But I never thought that today, but the style of painting suddenly changed, and I actually bit forty percent.

"It's so deceitful!" Yang Chunlai lagged behind Yang Futian, but he gritted his teeth and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Lin Ran took a sip of tea, and said with a wry smile on his face: "It seems that Yan Shifan just gave the official a post, not to ask the official to go to the Yan Mansion to drink, but to ask the official to satisfy his desires!" ”

originally thought that Yan Shifan was going to appease him, the Shuntian Mansion, and ask him not to make Yan Hong's case bigger, or even blink an eye to this case.

Only this time, he obviously guessed wrong again. Yan Shifan didn't seem to take him in his eyes at all, but he had to make the United Business Group bleed hemorrhage, and the Lian Cooperation Workshop was bound to win.

The most important thing is that Yan Shifan is so greedy. If you know the true family background of the United Business Group, I am afraid that you will be even more pressing, and even want to take the family background of the United Business Group as your own.

"Lord Lin, we must not compromise!" Yang Dafu watched Lin Ran maintain his composure, and immediately persuaded worriedly.

Lin Ran still didn't make a statement, but turned his head to look at Zhao Fugui and asked seriously: "Zhao Yuanwai, what do you think?" ”

"It's better to be broken than to be complete!" Zhao Fugui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied with murderous intent.

It is a matter of the interests of the United Business Group, and even the survival of life and death. Even Zhao Fugui, who has always liked to calm things, has a fighting spirit in his heart and expresses his attitude clearly.

Lin Ran didn't know if Yan Shifan was confused by Xu Jie's "selling his granddaughter", or if he really couldn't see the current situation clearly, and he was still making enemies like this. According to the course of history, with the completion of the Wanshou Palace, Xu Jie's position has become precarious.

It's just that the current history will inevitably change, Lin Ran didn't intend to make a false accusation and hand over the fate of the United Business Group to Xu Jie, so he immediately made a decision and said: "Then Feixin to the Guangdong side, let Shen Liuye and them prepare for the worst outcome, or even a vicious battle!" ”

"Yes!" Huang Dafu and the others promised loudly, but there was not the slightest fear in their eyes.

In essence, they do have the confidence to do so. The power of the United Merchant Group in Guangdong not only infiltrated the officials, but also included the gentry and the petty officials of the yamen, and it was impossible to uproot them with a single official.

Taking Leizhou's Lianlianfang as an example, once the Leizhou prefect wants to take the errand or Leizhou Wei to seal the Lianlian, not to mention whether the errand and Leizhouwei can be mobilized, the spit stars of the people of Leizhou and the female employees of the Lianlianfang alone can drown them.

Whatever the reason, once it provokes a civil uprising, the black gauze hat on its head will be difficult to protect.

Lin Ran blew off a tea stalk floating on the tea water, and suddenly said lightly: "The best defense is offense!" You put aside the matter at hand first, cooperate with Li Yunhu's work, and we have to give Yan Shifan a little color! ”

Obviously, they are already in trouble, but Yan Shifan still has the idea of a joint workshop, but Lin Ran doesn't mind adding to the fire.
