The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

369. Lao Li’s loyalty (please order in full)

"It's good that you have this heart."

"The car dealership belongs to you and Huniu. Although you are a long-term employee of the Bai family, I cannot ask for the equity in this property. What does it mean to ask for it? If you are really serious, just give more gifts during the holidays. , there’s no need to be so outspoken.”

Bai Gui sat on the car seat and said smoothly.

In the past, when he was not in Yanjing, Liu Baoer was the only one who managed the Bai family. Although Lao Li's heart was towards the Bai family and his heart was bright and clear, if the master did not take the initiative to mention this kind of thing, he would not be able to do it as a housekeeper. It's so over the top. As for the Bai Mansion in Xizhen Hutong, in the eyes of Mrs. Bai and Bai Xiongqi, the small car dealership is not really a big business. In addition, it is difficult to go beyond the Bai Mansion to take charge of the matter, so they put it aside. down.

But after he came to Yanjing.

It was impossible for the housekeeper Lao Li to hide it from him. Whenever the Bai Mansion took time off, they might mention this matter in casual conversation. Even if they didn't mention it, with Bai Gui's sharp eyesight, some clues could be seen.

So before Bai Gui came home, Xiangzi took the initiative to speak.

Some things have not been done yet, but with Bai Gui's prestige, these small things will be solved as soon as the person arrives, without him having to mention it himself.

However, as Bai Gui said to Liu Bao'er before, the business of a car dealership is still just starting up, and the profit is not much, so the Bai family will not covet such a small fortune.

If you don't show any "effort" on the surface and want shares, your reputation will indeed be affected.

Some things are unspoken rules.

It is a rule to use the reputation and power of the Bai family to hand over shares.

But the hidden rules of the industry cannot be mentioned on the table, because these are also rules.

So Bai Gui just asked Xiangzi and Huniu to give some gifts during the holidays.

People who know the rules know that the gifts should not be light or too small. The shares are not collected, but the proceeds from the shares are discounted as gifts.

But in general, when it comes to giving gifts, how much can you give? !

It’s much less than giving away shares!

The same gift-giving and gift lists were posted, which also changed the way Xiangzi and Huniu's car dealership business was covered. It's better than secretly holding shares.

Sometimes..., even if you have money, there is no way to give gifts!

"Yes, I understand, little one."

Xiangzi replied quickly.

After he finished speaking, his face was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and kept pulling the car in a muffled voice.

The meaning of this was not something he could understand.

Knowledge, no such knowledge.

Who knew that Bai Gui's words contained such a mystery.

This time, Huniu also deliberately urged him to show his courtesy in front of Master Bai.

Not long after, we arrived at Luohua Hutong.

White house.

"I've met Mr. and Mrs."

Hearing the sound of a rickshaw pulling at the door, the Bai family's helpers hurried out one by one and went to the side door to greet them.

This is not because the Bai family has strict rules, but because Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu have not been to the Bai house for a long time. The purpose of the ceremony is mostly to let the family helpers get to know the husband and wife, so as to avoid accidental conflicts in the future.

There were seven or eight people standing sparsely at the side door.

There are maids who make beds, mothers who serve people, cooks in the kitchen, etc. The current situation is unfavorable and people's livelihood is very difficult. The capital is the best place. There is always a way to survive if you go here.

Therefore, dental shops often come to sell helpers door-to-door.

Because of Bai Gui, the Bai family has always done good deeds and accumulated virtue. Even if the family can't use so many people, they can only take them in and give them a way to survive.

After all, there are only a few people in the Bai family. Before, Lao Li could take care of everything by himself, so there was no need for so many people to work together.

"It's almost the New Year's Eve, so this is a red envelope from my wife and I to everyone."

"It's not a lot of money, so please don't blame me."

Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu were mentally prepared. They took out a stack of red envelopes and handed them out.

Red envelopes can be thick or thin.

According to the order of the Bai family's helpers, the order cannot be messed up.

To avoid family disputes.

But each red envelope contains a lot of money. The thin ones contain three or four silver coins, and the thick ones contain ten silver coins.

Although these people look lonely, they usually receive a monthly salary alone and then help a large family. It is not easy to find a job as a helper in a wealthy family.

"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs."

Everyone looked happy.

They just received a red envelope.

You can almost feel that there is more money and less money.

I never thought that just greeting Mr. and Mrs. would have such benefits.

But after they thought about it for a moment, they understood.

My husband is a national-level writer and literary giant, and one manuscript can earn them a lifetime's expenses. And his wife also comes from a wealthy family. This red envelope money is nothing.

getting Started.

The little maid named Yue Lian led Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu into the master bedroom.

The other helpers scattered around, each busy with their own things.

Not long after, the housekeeper Lao Li knocked on the door and walked in. The first thing he reported to Bai Gui was the car dealership opened by Xiangzi and Huniu.

"Young lady has a cheerful personality. When she sees the poor people suffering, she will give away money. But old man, I am a governor, ha! Does it mean that you are kind-hearted just because you are poor?"

Old Li is older and more rickety than he was a few years ago, but he is always in high spirits during happy events. The old Li family has been blessed by the Bai family in recent years and has hope for life. Therefore, he looks energetic and energetic when speaking.

"Xiangzi's mother-in-law, Huniu, is a naughty character inside. She had a falling out with Fourth Master Liu, came to the lady to plead for mercy, and then came to me to argue..."

"I have received great kindness from you, sir. I remember everything in my heart, one after another."

Lao Li said.

Bai Gui doesn't care about some small things that embezzle the interests of the Bai family, but the housekeeper Lao Li, who has been greatly favored, is not easy to manage, but he keeps everything in mind, waiting for Bai Gui, who can really take charge of the family. This was revealed after the person came back.

"Xiangzi told Mr. Xiangzi about this on the way here."

"According to what you said, Lao Li, this should be Huniu's instigation... I will resign Xiangzi tomorrow and hire a new coachman."

Bai Xiuzhu saw Bai Gui's expression and knew that it was difficult for Bai Gui to speak.

Xiangzi is a long-term worker hired by Bai Gui.

So he turned a white face.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Lao Li, please pay attention to this matter."

"Xiangzi knows his mistakes and can correct them. There is no great way to do good. The Bai family is a famous family, so we can't be too fussy about it."

Bai Gui pondered for a moment and said.

Bai Gui does not intend to deal with the matter between Xiangzi and Huniu easily, and is prepared to see how it behaves in the future. However, now the housekeeper Lao Li has "stepped in". Lao Li is out of loyalty, and he cannot make it difficult for Lao Li.

Lao Li is right, not all poor people are kind-hearted, but at the same time, not all rich people are good people.

Just like now, when he handles this matter, he is "rich and conscientious".

But is it really true that rich people are so kind? I don’t think so. It’s just because rich people are well-known people and it’s not easy to care about small profits to appear mean. And these small profits, in the eyes of the poor, may be enough to support them for several months.

In order to survive, it will inevitably make others feel a lot of eyesore.

Bai Gui came from a bitter background and knew this, so he could be more tolerant of Xiangzi.

Of course, if it weren't for Xiangzi's performance of knowing his mistakes, he wouldn't be a good person, so he would do whatever he wants.

"It's fine that Mr. and Mrs. know about it."

"Lao Li is the housekeeper. How to deal with things is your decision, sir and madam. I dare not say anything."

Seeing this, the housekeeper Lao Li immediately replied.

He has been a doorman and housekeeper for so many years, and he knows what should be taken care of and what should not be taken care of.

He just needs to do his job well.

If Bai Gui hadn't been so kind to him, he would never have reached this point. He could only remember the fact that Xiangzi sought the "private interests" of the Bai family, but he could not take action to punish him beyond his master's family.

Bai Gui nodded and signaled Lao Li to continue talking about other things.

Soon, Lao Li told Bai Gui one by one about some of the problems that the Bai family had accumulated in the past few years.

Thanks to Bai Gui's identity and status, as well as the support of Bai Mansion in Xizhen Hutong. Most of the problems Lao Li mentioned were not big problems. If there were big problems, the patrol room would basically turn to the Bai Mansion. So basically just trivial things. Xiangzi's incident is the only major event.

Of course, these so-called trivial matters are to Bai Gui, but in the eyes of housekeeper Lao Li, these can never be called trivial matters.

Bai Gui has many years of experience in ruling the Tang Dynasty, and he is very experienced in handling political affairs. Managing a big country is like cooking a small fish. A big country has already been cooked, let alone a small fish.

Everything was handled appropriately.

For incidents like Xiangzi's, Bai Gui won't care too much as long as he has a sense of repentance.

Don't neglect a good deed because it is small.

In Dream of Red Mansions, Wang Xifeng has done many bad things throughout her life, but one small thing she did seemed to her to be a trivial matter at the time. When Grandma Liu went to Jia's house to borrow money, she agreed to twenty taels. silver. Later, the Jia Mansion was completely white, and Wang Xifeng's daughter, Sister Qiaoer, was reduced to a land of fireworks. Grandma Liu repaid her kindness, sold her property, and saved Sister Qiaoer's life...

Although the Bai family has many backup players from Bai Gui, basically the Jia family's situation is unlikely to happen.

But there is a saying that goes well: do good deeds without worrying about the future.

"Sir, he is good at planning and making decisions..."

"I was thinking hard about how to deal with these things at first, but I didn't expect that my husband immediately thought of a way to deal with it."

Lao Li said after listening to Bai Gui's verdict.

This sentence is both flattery and heartfelt admiration.

Decisive, ruthless, yet kind.

This is what he can feel.

The three of them were talking.

A woman's chatter and laughter came from outside the house, as sweet as silver bells.

"It's the lady from Lengzhai next door..."

"She and the young lady went to and from school together. They have been close friends for a long time."

Lao Li bowed slightly and explained.

He knew about the "grievance" between his husband and the lady from the cold house next door, so he explained it.

"No wonder I didn't see Bao'er before. It turns out he went to Lengzhai."

Bai Gui nodded, relieved.

"I heard that the young master from the Jin Mansion... has been pursuing Miss Leng recently."

The housekeeper Lao Li reminded me.

He knew that the Bai family had a certain relationship with Baifu and Jinfu. Moreover, Jin Yanxi, the young master of the Jin family, is the son of Jin Quan, the chief assistant of the central government. He is involved in many things, so we must pay attention to it.
