Chapter 223 The more you work, the more you get; no work, no gain
The human trafficker was stunned, thinking that his thoughts had been seen through.
But at first glance, Lin Zhiqing had a smile on his face, and there was no sign of that at all.
Thinking of the old, weak, and sick, he smiled flatteringly again: "Ms. Lin, you can't get such a good deal anywhere else..."
Seeing that the human trafficker started to deceive Lin Zhiqing again, Lin Congli and Lin Congyan both frowned.
Especially Lin Congyan, he used to be in charge of this area, but after Lin Zhiqing got the clan seal, he replaced the human traffickers he used to use.
He had no objection in his heart, but he couldn't bear to see the human trafficker treating others as fools.
But for a moment he couldn't tell whether Lin Zhiqing knew the human trafficker's little thoughts, and he felt quite uneasy.
Lin Congli, on the other hand, did not have any special reaction. Although he was worried in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
After handing over all the power in his hands to Lin Zhiqing, he kept in mind the clan rules and never interfered with Lin Zhiqing's decisions.
Even now, he has never spoken a word to remind her.
Lin Zhiqing had no idea what the two elders were thinking.
At this moment, she was quite impatient.
Seeing that the people below were looking at her eagerly, she finally spoke up to interrupt the trafficker when the time came:
"Is this your first time doing business with the Lin family?"
The trafficker was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss, that's right."
Lin Zhiqing understood his answer clearly. Seeing the trafficker nod, he raised his hand and said, "In that case, after I count the 200 people, you can go back."
"What, Miss, what are you doing..." The trafficker just opened his mouth, but was stopped by Aunt Mu:
"You rascal, you see my young lady never takes care of things, yet you dare to deceive her?"
"How dare you bring up this buy-two-get-one-free stunt? If you want to push those old, weak, and sick people under you onto us, just say so. Why act like such a philanthropist?"
"Look at them! They are like eggplants hit by frost, even worse than an old woman like me. How dare they speak to our young lady?"
Aunt Mu started from zero frame and started cursing, instantly suppressing the arrogance of the human trafficker.
The human trafficker felt ashamed and angry, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but when he saw Lin Zhiqing sitting there calmly, he suddenly lost his confidence.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was a little awkward, even the servants had strange expressions on their faces, Lin Zhiqing smiled softly:
"Aunt Mu, your words are a bit harsh."
Aunt Mu bowed politely and said, "Miss, you are kind. I have overstepped the bounds. I hope you will forgive me."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the master and servant were actually acting in cahoots.
One played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, and they pointed out the human trafficker's purpose in just a few words, but without making people hate Lin Zhiqing, the legitimate master.
Seeing the human trafficker retreating angrily, Lin Congli and Lin Congyan looked at each other, obviously approving of Lin Zhiqing's approach.
After all this trouble, Lin Zhiqing quickly picked out the person he wanted and sent the human trafficker away.
It's easier to get things done behind closed doors.
Lin Zhiqing collected the deeds of the new people, then asked Chaoyan to prepare pen and ink and called out the original accountant.
After everything was ready, she stood up and began to speak:
"Everyone, the Lin family is different now than before. I hope everyone will not cause any trouble."
"I don't have any other special abilities, but I hate arguments. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will not let them off easily."
After these words were spoken, the original group of servants of the Lin family had not said anything yet, but the new ones felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why is it a little girl? The Lin family is really empty-handed."
"Working for the Lin family, what kind of benefits can we get? We are unlucky to be stuck here."
"This Miss Lin is just as what people say outside, she's unreasonable and unreasonable. It would be better to let the masters of the Lin family take charge..."
Obviously, what was said just now made some people feel uncomfortable.
Lin Zhiqing was not unaware of these people's emotions. Chaoyan could write, and he quickly memorized the appearance of those troublemakers who incited everyone's emotions.
After doing all this, Lin Zhiqing began to read out the list he had just compiled.
The first to be affected were several elderly people.
"Aunt Mu is the head nanny in our courtyard."
"Xiao Cui, my cousin's personal maid."
"Tingwen, my uncle's personal servant."
…
"Those above this number, please remain in your original positions. In addition, you may come forward to receive three additional months' wages."
When these words were spoken, not only the person whose name was called was stunned, but even Lin Congli and others were a little slow to react.
Only Lin Yangyang happily pushed Xiao Cui in front of Lin Zhiqing.
Aunt Mu quickly took out several taels of silver and put them in Xiao Cui's hands.
Xiao Cui looked at the silver in her hand and almost lost her balance. She had been in the Lin family for so long, and except for the reward from her own lady, she had never seen so much silver.
"Why are you standing there? Go and thank Sister Qing." Lin Yangyang was happier than Xiao Cui herself.
"Thank you, Miss Zhiqing, thank you, Miss Zhiqing." Xiao Cui clenched the silver in her hand and kowtowed twice to Lin Zhiqing.
"You don't need to thank me, you should thank yourself." After Lin Zhiqing finished speaking, he turned and looked at everyone:
"I've noticed everyone's daily performance, and from now on, there will be a process of distributing extra money every month."
"But only if you do your job well and don't gossip or betray your own people."
As she spoke, several more people came forward to receive the silver.
Everyone had never seen such a scene of distributing money on the spot. Their necks were stretched straight, and they wished that their names would be called.
Especially the new servants, their eyes, which had been dull just now, immediately lit up.
"The more you work, the more you get; if you don't work, you get nothing." Lin Zhiqing's voice was not loud, but full of energy:
"There are still a few important positions that I will hand over to experienced people, but these positions are not fixed."
"Every month I'll review everyone's performance from the previous month. If someone performs well, their position can of course be moved up."
"In general, whether you want to hold a high position or get money, you must do the job at hand well."
"With rewards, there are also punishments. Let me be frank. For those who are treacherous and disloyal, their wages will be deducted at the very least, and at the worst, they will be sold off."
"I hope everyone will consider it carefully and not let me be the bad guy."
"Miss Zhiqing, I have a question!" A woman's eyes were eager, yet a little cautious: "Can that woman be the manager?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was immediately some booing from the surroundings.
The woman's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly: "Of course, the premise is that you are suitable to sit in that position."
Upon hearing this, everyone around fell silent, and then cheers like a tide rang out.
This was mostly the cheers from the women in the crowd.
"I have a question too!" a man asked urgently, "What if the money is taken away by the higher-ups and never reaches us? What should we do?"
This is a problem that often occurs in large mansions.
Lin Zhiqing took a half step forward and said, "Every month, I stand here and personally call the roll, just like today."
"The money was all taken out of my hands, and no one else would handle it. As long as you do your job, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Her powerful voice once again caused cheers.
