Shang Lin was surprised that Xing Tian had such a high opinion of Fan Mingyu, which showed that they had similar judgment in judging people. However, he did not continue to praise him, and only said, "Who knows what the future holds? We just need to do our best in the present."
Fan Mingyu looked at Shang Lin seriously, seemingly muttering to himself, "Do your best now?"
Xing Tian quickly compiled a list of the company's debts to be collected and sent it to She Jinxing, saying, "Go collect them. If you have any questions, feel free to call me anytime."
She Jinxing glanced at Shang Lin and heard him say, "Go ahead, be careful," before leaving.
Fan Mingyu looked at Shang Lin with a mixture of doubt and seriousness. "Cousin, you wouldn't happen to be a member of your Yuntai Sect, would you?"
After saying that, he looked at Xing Tian again, wanting to ask one more question, "Is your godfather also one?!"
Shang Lin nodded frankly, "Yes, when there's a chance in the future, I'll introduce you to the disciples of our sect."
Shang Lin's frankness did not lessen Fan Mingyu's doubts, and he asked again, "Is your sect really only about making money and maintaining health?"
Shang Lin smiled and corrected Fan Mingyu, "You are from our sect. From the moment you agreed to my request, you became a disciple of our sect."
Fan Mingyu suddenly revealed a look in his eyes that was both clear and a little foolish, like that of a young man. "Just saying it and that's it? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Shang Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he patiently explained, "You should know that a verbal agreement is still an agreement, just not as binding. But in the Yuntai Sect, a verbal agreement is just as valid as a written agreement. I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'Words have a spirit.'"
Fan Mingyu was instantly dumbfounded, and even asked stupidly, "So you really are doing crooked things, right? And your words have power? If that's true, wouldn't the world be in chaos... Wait a minute, have you been reading too many fantasy novels?"
Shang Lin immediately changed the subject, "Let's talk about company matters. The debt collection issue is resolved, what else is there?"
"Oh, and there's more..." Fan Mingyu snapped back to reality. The holiday was only a few days long, and he needed to resolve the trouble as soon as possible.
So Shang Lin, Xing Tian, and Fan Mingyu didn't even have lunch. They worked until 4 p.m. before finally getting all the company's problems sorted out. And this sorting wasn't just for them, but also for all the company's employees.
As for whether the employees will neglect their duties or fail to complete their tasks diligently, Shang Lin is not worried, because this is also an opportunity to select loyal and excellent employees for them.
After finishing their work, Shang Lin and Xing Tian rushed home without even having dinner, because Old Man Chai was a bit exhausted and looked pale.
Shang Lin suddenly felt a little guilty. He had only thought about getting people and money back, but forgot about his disciple's physical condition. So on his way home, he asked Hu Tangdi to prepare a medicinal meal.
Watching Shang Lin and "Old Man Chai" hurriedly leave, Fan Mingyu wondered if he was wrong. They probably really meant to help him, otherwise...
Is it a bad deal to use a self-inflicted injury to acquire one's own company? Especially since Old Man Chai's health isn't very good; I've seen his complexion getting worse and worse.
Just as Fan Mingyu was about to go home hungry, he received a phone call from his childhood friends inviting him to dinner, mainly to check on him.
But when Zhou Heng and Fu Xinyu saw Fan Mingyu wolfing down his food, they couldn't help but ask, "You, you're not out of money for food, are you? You look like you haven't eaten nine meals in three days."
Fan Mingyu was starving at the moment, and he didn't care about his image. He ate as he replied, "What do you mean by 'three days without nine meals'? You'd starve to death! I've been busy ever since you left."
Zhou Heng and Fu Xinyu looked at each other, and Zhou Heng asked, "Are you alone?"
"No." Having eaten about half full, Fan Mingyu gradually slowed down his eating pace. "Shang Lin and his godfather were also here."
Zhou Heng and Fu Xinyu were both shocked again. This time, Fu Xinyu asked, "Do they really want to help you? What benefits will they get? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Zhou Heng and Fu Xinyu's families are also in business. Even if they don't have direct contact with them, they will naturally learn from what they see and hear and understand the importance of equal exchange, or at least an exchange even if the exchange is not equal.
Considering that explaining the Yuntai Sect would be complicated, Fan Mingyu avoided the main point and said, "Isn't it obvious? They help me, and I give them money."
Zhou Heng hurriedly asked, "But where did you get the money? They're helping you at a time like this, so it can't be something that can be settled with a small amount of money."
Fan Mingyu nodded, "But it's not a lot of money. They help me collect debts, and I give them a commission."
Fu Xinyu then asked, "How much?" There's no problem with that; it all depends on how much you ask for. It's the same as paying lawyer fees.
Fan Mingyu thought for a moment, "Twenty percent."
It was just something I said casually. I vaguely remember my father telling me that someone helped him get back a debt, and he gave that person a 20% commission.
Zhou Heng and Fu Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, they weren't being unreasonable. Besides, debt collection is no easy task. They really didn't know how Shang Lin dared to agree.
Shang Lin is now willing to do many more things than before, and since She Jinxing has lived in the human world the longest, he has great faith in her abilities. If all else fails, he can always use magic.
After Shang Lin and Xing Tian returned home, Hu Tangdi immediately served the meal she had prepared. As she handed them chopsticks, she complained, "When did you two become workaholics? You didn't even eat lunch!"
Shang Lin smiled awkwardly, "It's not that we don't want to eat, but Fan Mingyu's company is located in a very remote area, and they don't even deliver. Besides, the task is heavy and the time is tight, so we can only persevere. But Xing Tian is exhausted, so I'll make you a medicinal bath later."
The deity, quite unusually, poured Shang Lin a glass of homemade juice, but said, "Can't you just let go of making money and focus on cultivation? And while you're worried about Old Man Chai's health, have you thought about your own? Have you forgotten that the original owner was a sickly person?"
Shang Lin quickly compromised, "Alright, alright, stop lecturing me. I know I was wrong, I'll be more careful next time."
The deity glared at him, "You want a next time?!"
Shang Lin immediately waved his hand, "No, no."
After finishing speaking, Shang Lin quickly changed the subject, "Has Huang Ying contacted you? How is the baby doing now?"
Hu Tangdi replied, "We just contacted each other today. She said that Xing's mother and the baby are both doing well, especially the baby, who seems to change every day. It's just a pity that they can't show up in person, and can only watch from the shadows."
"That's good." Shang Lin then asked Xing Tian, "Can you hold on for a few more days? I'd like General Ji to go and see Qiu Niang."
Xing Tian slumped in his chair after eating and drinking his fill. "I don't know, I can only do my best. But I also want to see Qiu... no, I want to see my mother and sister."
