Chapter 426: Was this beating in vain?
"We just beat him up so badly. If he doesn't come tomorrow, won't that give them an advantage?"
Lin Mo raised her eyebrows as she looked at Xu Pinggui walking towards her.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to trick Li Xianlie more and bring more benefits to the people nearby.
"Madam, if we don't use too much force, they will become suspicious!" Xu Pinggui said seriously.
"But they will definitely find other ways to cause trouble tomorrow. This trick today will no longer work for them."
Lin Mo believed this.
She looked at the man following Xu Pinggui, and asked, "Are you Jia Qingshan?"
Jia Qingshan nodded nervously:
"Yes, young lady."
He had heard a lot about Madam Xu Shao, so he couldn't help but respect her.
"Are you interested in working for me?" Lin Mo looked at him seriously.
"You should be able to guess what I want to do. I'm short of people, capable people.
Don't worry, if you work for me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in terms of wages."
Jia Qingshan was stunned. He didn't expect that she would actually ask him to do something for her. He thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and rejected Lin Mo:
"Young Madam, I like freedom and don't like being constrained, so I'm afraid I have to reject your kindness.
However, I am interested in your shops. How would you like to rent them?"
Jia Qingshan had his own plans in mind.
The Xu family is making such a big fuss here, it's definitely not just for fun.
He saw how much money they invested.
So, maybe take a gamble.
If he wins the bet, his life will be rewritten.
Even if you lose the bet, it won’t be too bad.
Lin Mo raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Jia Qingshan was a smart man, but it was a pity that he couldn't be used for her own benefit.
She shook her head, “There are no regulations yet.
If you are interested, I can reserve one for you, but let me tell you, these shops are very expensive."
Jia Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then bowed:
"Thank you, Madam. If I can't afford the rent, I will tell you in advance and will not delay your business."
Lin Mo nodded.
After watching the other party leave, Lin Mo felt a little regretful:
"He's a smart guy, but it's a pity he can't be used by us."
Xu Pinggui took a look and turned back:
“Who can say what will happen in the future?
However, Madam, you should go back first. Uncle Peng just sent a message asking you to go back as soon as possible."
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, "Something happened?"
…
At this time, in the Xu family house.
Xu Mengxian turned her head away guiltily, her hands grasping the hem of her clothes awkwardly.
If she says she didn't mean it, would anyone believe her?
Xu Dapeng glanced at her, cleared his throat, and then looked at the three young men opposite who were beaten black and blue.
“That’s sorry.
Our young mistress will be back soon, and when she returns, we will give you an explanation."
"Uncle Peng, this is just a misunderstanding!" Xu Mengxian looked at him pitifully.
If her sister-in-law knew that she had caused trouble, she would be so angry that she would have to give her a hard time.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at the other party:
"I don't know them, and they suddenly want to give me candy, how can I not be suspicious of them?
Wasn’t there a child in the village who was tricked away with candy some time ago?
That’s why I thought they were human traffickers and called for help.”
Xu Mengxian spoke softly and finally lowered her head guiltily.
She really didn't know that when she shouted, all the people working nearby would rush out to help.
Thinking of the scene of people rushing out and rushing towards them with weapons in hand, Xu Mengxian felt a little dry in the mouth.
So excited.
She didn't expect that the people who came to work were so powerful.
He Longqing covered his face, which was hurt by the beating, and said depressedly, "Does someone like me look like a human trafficker? Do human traffickers look as handsome as me?"
"A bad guy wouldn't carve the words 'I am a bad guy' on his face." Xu Mengxian retorted unconvinced.
It's all their fault. If they hadn't behaved strangely, would I have misunderstood?
He Longqing didn't want to talk.
Wen Zhuo took a deep breath and said, "I was too abrupt in this matter.
You are a child, and I thought you must like candy very much, so I wanted to give you some candy."
"Who is the child?" Xu Mengxian said with a stern face:
“I’m fourteen, not a kid.
Also, shouldn't I suspect you have bad intentions when you carry candy with you, as a grown man? "
Wen Zhuo was stunned. Fourteen years old?
He Longqing laughed unceremoniously, "No way, you're fourteen? You're clearly a little kid, you can't tell."
Xu Mengxian's face darkened. He actually laughed at her for being short.
"You are short, your whole family is short!"
He Longqing was stunned for a moment and laughed even louder. This little kid actually cared so much about his height.
He stepped forward proudly and said, "Sorry, I'm the shortest in my family!"
Seeing him still laughing, Xu Mengxian was so angry that she jumped up and down:
"You human trafficker, you're still laughing! Shut up, do you hear me? You're not allowed to laugh anymore!"
But He Longqing laughed even louder.
snort!
Let her have someone beat her up, and if she doesn't laugh, how can she avenge herself?
This wild and cunning girl is so mad!
Xu Mengxian was so angry, but when she saw Lin Mo appear at the door of the hall, her eyes lit up, and she rushed forward to hug Lin Mo's arm, aggrieved:
"Sister-in-law, this guy is so mean. He laughed at me for being short."
Lin Mo glanced at her, gestured with his hand, and nodded in agreement, "Yeah, it's a bit short."
He is half a head shorter than me, indeed a little shorter.
Xu Mengxian, “…”
She suddenly wanted to cry, and her sister-in-law also disliked her because she was short.
Wow, is she really that short?
Xu Mengxian is sad.
He Longqing suddenly felt a little sympathy for this little kid. The critical attack from his relatives could cause a lot of damage.
Wen Zhuo raised his head and looked at her intently.
It's her!
Lin Mo ignored Xu Mengxian, who looked hurt, pulled her hand out, walked straight to the upper seat and sat down.
Sweeping around:
"What's going on?"
Xu Dapeng lowered his head and told what he knew.
After listening to this, Lin Mo glanced sharply at Xu Mengxian, who looked guilty, and then his gaze fell on the man standing in the middle:
"Do you think she's wrong about this?"
Wen Zhuo came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "That's right, I was abrupt in this matter."
"Well, it's enough that I know you were the one who was rude. How about we just let this matter go?" Lin Mo took over calmly.
He Longqing's eyes widened, "Just let it go like this?
So, was the beating we received in vain?"
"That's right." Lin Mo nodded, his eyes narrowed sharply:
"So, you have an opinion?"
To be honest, no one is wrong in this matter, it was just a misunderstanding.
A kind gesture, please have some candy.
A person with paranoid delusions subconsciously wants to protect himself.
Although she disliked it, if she had to choose, she would naturally choose Xu Mengxian without hesitation.
Even though a person is stupid, it is not someone else's turn to teach him a lesson.
He Longqing shrank back. This woman's eyes were so sharp, as if she wanted to eat someone. He didn't dare to provoke her!
Wen Zhuo nodded seriously, "It's just a misunderstanding, I didn't intend to make a fuss about it."
Xu Mengxian breathed a sigh of relief.
Just don't bother with yourself.
My sister-in-law is really capable. She settled the matter as soon as she stepped in.
"Then let's write this off." Lin Mo curled his lips slightly, straightened his clothes, and looked up:
"Now let's get down to business. What brings you three to Yuancheng? What's the matter?"
Having said that, she carefully looked at the following people:
"You are here out of curiosity, right?"
Wen Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “That’s right.
After we arrived in Mocheng, we heard that the head luggage manager of Ruyi had come here. Then we heard some things that aroused our curiosity, so we couldn't help but come to find out what was going on.
I just didn't expect that I would cause such a misunderstanding right after arriving."
Wen Zhuo now realized that he was really rude, so he couldn't blame the girl for having people beat them up.
A gleam of light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, and as expected, someone was attracted to it.
She changed her sitting posture, with a nonchalant look on her face:
"So after you've finished looking at it, what do you think of my place?"
Wen Zhuo and the other two looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes.
Wen Zhuo looked up at Lin Mo:
“I wonder if your shop here is for sale?
We would be very interested in buying a few if possible.”
As expected of a businessman, he is very direct!
Lin Mo shook his head, "Not for sale, but can be rented.
Besides, the rent is not cheap, starting at at least twenty taels!"
"What? Starting at twenty taels?" He Longqing looked incredulous.
"The monthly rent for a shop in the best location in Mocheng is only thirty taels, and it's quite large.
To be frank, this place is a complete wasteland right now, and I see the shop isn't very big, so why are you charging twenty taels a month?"
"You're wrong. The area at the edge is only twenty taels. In the middle, especially the one near the water, the most expensive one costs me one hundred taels a month."
When these words came out, the three of them gasped.
I always feel that she is asking for too much.
Wen Zhuo took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Isn't your asking price a bit outrageous? Are you sure someone will want it?"
He Longqing and others nodded in agreement. This place can be described as a remote and poor place now. Who would spend so much money to rent a shop here to do business? Aren’t they afraid of losing all their money?
Lin Mo chuckled and shook his head, "You are still too young."
She glanced at them:
"Do you know why I built Origin City around this river?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three people changed drastically!
