Chapter 100: Master Lin - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
It took three or four days for the property certificate to be issued. During this period, Roman had already sent the names of several master craftsmen she had selected to Wen Yan's email address.
Wen Yan took a look at the information Luo Man had sent her. He listed it out first for Wen Yan to choose from, and only after Wen Yan made her selection did she contact the people to talk to. There were six tea artists among them. Luo Man had listed so many for Wen Yan to choose from, and the fact that he had listed them all showed that their skills were very high. Wen Yan looked at their information, thought about it, and selected four based on their qualifications, personalities, and previous work.
Two men and two women, two men with a long career, and two women with great temperament and a very charming look. She then recruited some apprentices, each with a team, and they took turns every day. This way, they could compare their work, and comparisons would motivate them to improve.
As for the midpoint masters, there were fewer of them. Wen Yan looked at the list and saw only three of them, and they were from three teams. These masters who had been famous for a long time all had teams and apprentices behind them.
The first was a long-established chef. Wen Yan flipped through three pages of his accomplishments, including the gold medal in the China Zhongdian Contest. It was clear how accomplished he was. Wen Yan was curious why he wasn't currently working as a chef at any particular restaurant. Later, she saw Roman mention that he had won numerous awards and a prestigious reputation, though he was a bit arrogant. He'd fallen out with his former employer and was currently waiting for the best deal, the highest-paying prospect.
Roman knew that her employer was not short of money, but he was also very talented.
The second person’s conditions are similar to the first, even comparable, and he is also very famous.
Wen Yan took a quick glance and was quickly attracted to the third one. The third one's appearance was not very outstanding, but gave people a very simple feeling. There was also an asterisk written by Roman next to it, which highlighted the key point!
Lin Ziqiang, 42 years old, learned the craft from his master since he was a child, married his master's only daughter, and later served as his master's funeral serene presence. Over the years, he has been following his master in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and his master has taken in three apprentices, which is equivalent to raising three sons. The eldest, Lin Ziqiang, is the best at learning, even surpassing his master. The second and third brothers are also skilled, but they are honest and simple-minded, lacking innovation and only know how to maintain the status quo. However, the two brothers are not stupid, so they just follow the eldest brother. So if Lin Ziqiang takes them in, he will lead a large team.
Later, Roman wrote that Lin Ziqiang had been sent by his master to participate in a competition to promote traditional culture, but he only came in third place. It was this competition that brought Roman to his attention. She then added in parentheses ("The champions and runners-up in major competitions are often funded"), which showed that this person was truly talented. To have achieved third place on his own was a testament to his skill, and Roman was full of praise for him. She also noted that the two people mentioned in the competition had also won awards and championships.
He's willing to leave his hometown now because his master passed away in the middle of this year. The town is currently less crowded, but he has to take responsibility for his entire family, a matter of practicality. Traditional small-town business alone isn't enough to support three families. He wants to give his wife a stable life and his children a carefree childhood. Even so, he insists on holding fast to his principles. He demands a detailed discussion with his boss, stating that those with different ideals cannot work together. While he'll bend over backwards to make a living, he doesn't want to compromise his principles.
Wen Yan really admires such people. You don’t have to worry about them stabbing you in the back and they treat others sincerely.
After looking at the three pieces of information, Wen Yan directly chose the third one. It was obvious that the first two were listed by Roman because of their fame.
After selecting all of them, she sent the information to Roman, and then she would invite them one by one and negotiate terms.
"As for Master Lin, after you make an appointment with him, tell me the time so that I can make time in advance to discuss it in detail. A master chef with real skills should naturally be treated with caution." Wen Yan sent the message to Luo Man and asked her to make the arrangements.
On the day the property certificate was issued, Wen Yan received a message from Manager Cheng and also received the time that Roman arranged for her to meet with Master Lin.
Wen Yan doesn’t have classes on Saturday afternoon, so she can fly to Hangzhou in the morning and fly back directly in the afternoon after the conversation.
"The property certificate has been prepared, you can go and receive it. As for Master Lin, just send me the meeting place and Master Lin's contact information. Please clean up the house for me as soon as possible in the next two days. The design you sent me yesterday is quite good, let's install it like that. You have worked hard these two days, and I will give you a big red envelope when the house is cleaned up." After sending it, Wen Yan also sent her a love emoticon.
She really thought this young lady was worth it. She saved her so much trouble. She had connections, strong abilities, and high emotional intelligence. She wanted more money! She had to pay more!
Luo Man laughed at Wen Yan's words. Her employer this time had a good temper and was not at all as spoiled as those typical rich girls. Instead, he was very interesting and humble. When Wen Yan said he would give her a red envelope, she didn't hesitate and instead replied with a shy emoji that said "I'm so sorry."
After all, who doesn't want their work to be recognized? She is not aloof at all, she just likes to make money!
While talking on the phone at night, Wen Yan also told Meng Qinghe about the matter.
"So, can I go with you the day after tomorrow?" Meng Qinghe didn't ask her whether she needed it or not, but asked directly if it was possible.
Wen Yan thought about it and decided that it was not impossible. He was by her side and with his perspective, he could also give her some advice.
"Okay, I originally wanted to go alone, but after thinking about it, I would feel safer if you went with me." Wen Yan coaxed the man.
Meng Qinghe smiled, which showed that she was not on guard against him and was willing to get involved in her career.
"Then I'll start booking the hotel and plane tickets now. I think we should go there after school on Friday. We can also take a walk by the West Lake. There's no need to rush the next day. If nothing happens, we can come back on the third day. What do you think?" While asking Wen Yan for her opinion, Meng Qinghe had already opened his phone to see which hotel was suitable. As long as she agreed, he would take action immediately.
Wen Yan thought this was a good idea. She had never been to Hangzhou before, so it would be a good opportunity to go there. There was no need to rush, as Luo Man was already taking care of everything here. So she happily agreed, completely unaware of the man's thoughts.
