Chapter 222 Who is in Charge?
When Lin Yangyang heard about this, she volunteered to select the people because she had bought some security guards before and had experience.
Lin Zhiqing rejected her without a second thought: "Cousin, after Fourth Uncle got into trouble, all the people you bought ran away. Not a single one stayed."
The implication is that Lin Yangyang has poor vision.
Speaking of this, Lin Yangyang felt guilty and didn't insist on taking on everything:
"Then Sister Qing, I'll go with you."
"No, I've asked Aunt Mu to find a human trafficker. I'll bring her directly to the Lin family tomorrow to choose." Lin Zhiqing sat in the main hall, looking quite imposing.
The next day, after Lin Yangyang paced back and forth countless times, she finally caught a glimpse of Aunt Mu and the crowd of people behind her.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing ordered Lin Yangyang to gather all the other servants of the Lin family together.
Soon, the main hall was crowded with people.
In the past few days, Lin Zhiqing has sorted out all the missing positions in the Lin family.
The Lin family bears the title of a large marquisate like Changning Marquisate, and the number of servants is also based on the size of the marquisate.
When Lin Zhiqing took over, there were more than 500 servants alone.
But the problem is that the Lin family's interior is actually just a small mansion. Apart from the fact that the mansion has a larger space and requires more guards, other locations simply do not need so many people.
For example, according to the specifications of the Changning Marquis' Mansion, Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang should have two personal maids, six maids of different levels, and a wet nurse.
If there is a small kitchen in the yard, two or three cooks should be provided.
By this calculation, there are more than ten people in the courtyard of the inner house alone.
But the problem is, how can the Lin family have so much work for more than ten people to do?
Lin Zhiqing's situation was already special. She only had Aunt Mu by her side, and now with the addition of Chao Yan, there were no other maids.
Lin Yangyang only has one personal maid named Xiao Cui, but there are seven or eight maids doing rough work and three cooks.
The servants in the courtyards of other members of the Lin family also followed the specifications.
Even if the monthly salary of a maid or servant is not much, it adds up to a considerable expense.
The last time the imperial edict was issued, Lin Zhiqing released all the people who could be released, and most of the remaining people were elderly people.
These people have been screened out completely, and even if there are still people with bad intentions among them, they cannot be seen for the time being.
What Lin Zhiqing needs to do now is to try to keep the number of personnel at a relatively balanced level.
Otherwise, many of the things she wants to do are too limited.
For example, the processing and production of flowers, as well as the daily operations of the Lin family.
She only has Aunt Mu by her side, but Aunt Mu is old and it is time for her to enjoy her retirement.
Aunt Mu's niece Chao Yan is smart and clever, so she can be used, but she is still young and there are not enough people.
As for the inner house, she calculated in her mind that two personal maids and servants would be enough, and two maids for rough work would be about the same.
Positions like cook and nanny are enough for one person.
As for the position of butler, the Lin family had not set it up before, because the power was divided into three parts, and inserting a butler in the middle would easily cause chaos.
In addition, there are two accountants and one warehouse manager. These are relatively important positions and are currently vacant.
The yard is small, but the house is big.
The places where people are needed are basically concentrated in the two positions of security guards and menial servants, and the number of doormen required is six to eight.
Roughly speaking, Lin Zhiqing will need more than 200 people.
She roughly checked the vacant positions that she had sorted out in advance and confirmed the number two hundred.
Selecting people is a long process.
The human traffickers are patient, after all, this is a big business.
However, he did not have much respect for Lin Zhiqing who was sitting in the main seat.
Moreover, Lin Zhiqing looks gentle and although he gives people a sense of distance, he seems to be easy to talk to.
However, the original servants of the Lin family became excited when they saw that Lin Zhiqing had made such a big scene.
Apart from anything else, each of them is the person who stayed behind when the Lin family was about to collapse. Not only are they loyal, but their qualifications are also there.
Not to mention the monthly salary increase, even placing them in important positions is well-deserved.
For various reasons, the old men looked at the newcomers who were about to be selected with some arrogance in their eyes.
It’s not that Lin Zhiqing didn’t see it.
But she pretended not to know and provoked others first.
Lin Yangyang was very interested at first, but the process was really tedious and boring.
Soon, she began to yawn.
When the other members of the Lin family heard the news, they all came to the main hall.
However, no one questioned Lin Zhiqing's decision.
Strangely enough, Lin Zhiqing's way of selecting people is very different from that of ordinary people.
She would chat with everyone and it didn't look like she was selecting anyone.
When the human trafficker saw this, he had some evil thoughts in his mind.
So, when Lin Zhiqing finished selecting a round of people, he couldn't help but come forward:
"Ms. Lin, do you have someone you like?"
Lin Zhiqing said "hmm" lightly and didn't say much.
The trafficker rubbed his hands and said, "I think Miss Lin has a lot of people choosing her today, so she can get a cheaper price."
"Oh, cheaper? What do you mean?" Lin Zhiqing looked at the human trafficker with interest.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing's harmless face, the trafficker was convinced that she was just a brainless woman, and immediately began to express his thoughts:
"How about I give you one person for every two people Miss Lin chooses?"
"Is there such a good thing in the world?" Lin Yangyang yawned and instantly became lively again.
"Miss, you don't know that we in business value honesty." The trafficker kept saying nice things:
"If I hadn't gotten along well with Miss Lin, and if the Lin family were all kindhearted people, I definitely wouldn't have given up such a huge profit."
Hearing this, Lin Yangyang nodded from time to time, but Lin Zhiqing had no expression on his face.
The human trafficker then pulled Lin Yangyang over and started to calculate numbers.
Basically, Lin Zhiqing only needs to spend the money to buy 100 servants to get 150 servants.
No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem to be a losing deal.
The human trafficker said he would do it, and seeing that Lin Yangyang was very excited, he immediately began to ask her what she thought.
Lin Congyan, who was sitting in the back, frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Yangyang yawned again:
"I think it's great, but you have to ask my sister Qing. I can't make the decision anyway."
The human trafficker was stunned. Who would say so directly that he couldn't make the decision? Isn't that just lowering himself?
She subconsciously looked at Lin Zhiqing, who was sitting firmly in the high position, and the expression on her face quickly changed to a kind smile:
"Ms. Lin, what do you think of my proposal?"
Lin Zhiqing smiled brightly,
The trafficker immediately felt that his clever trick was a sure thing: "Since Miss Lin is satisfied, I will go and sign the contract now..."
"Nothing." Lin Zhiqing interrupted him mercilessly, with a smile in his eyes.
