After a while, the door opened and a little boy invited Lin Anru in.
"Mr. Lin, my young master please come in."
Lin Anru followed the child without looking around, and stopped only when they reached a screen.
"Brother Lin, did you find the recipe when you got back?"
A man who was estimated to be in his early twenties walked out from behind the screen. He was wearing a dark green robe and walked out slowly. Although he was asking, his tone was affirmative.
"Yes, it lived up to my expectations."
"Okay, okay, do you have the recipe with you? If you do, I'll take you to Brother Hong right now."
Lin Anru nodded, and the man said no more. He took Lin Anru around to another dormitory, a dormitory that was more luxurious than the one just now.
After knocking on the door, waiting, entering, and waiting again, Lin Anru finally saw Brother Hong.
One of the main figures in the upper circle of their private school.
"This is the contract. See if there is anything that needs to be changed."
Mr. Hong's servant handed the written contract to Lin Anru.
Lin Anru took it, looked at it carefully and said, "There is no problem with the contract."
Not only was there no problem, but the profit given to him by Hong Shao was also quite large.
"If there are no problems, Mr. Lin, please sign here."
The servant guided him to the table to complete the contract, and then sent the two out of the dormitory.
The servants were in charge of the whole process, and Mr. Hong didn't say a word until they left.
"From today on, Brother Lin, you're directly out of poverty, hahahaha!"
The student who led Lin Anru here couldn't wait to pat Lin Anru on the shoulder and laughed as soon as he walked out of the door. He felt sincerely happy.
"I have to thank Brother Liu for the introduction." Lin Anru bowed to him.
"It's my honor to help Brother Lin."
Liu Xuezi's smile became more meaningful.
Lin Anru's escape from poverty was the Lin family's business, so he was not happy at all. He was happy that he had brought Lin Anru into their faction and that he had made a contribution to Master Hong.
The two were not close to each other. If both sides did not have their own ulterior motives, they would have no intersection at all, so they chatted for a few words and then parted ways.
Lin Anru gave the ointment on her body to the students, which they had ordered in advance.
Only after collecting the balance did he return to his dormitory.
The other three people in the dormitory had stopped chatting and were sitting on their beds reading. When they saw Lin Anru come back, they just glanced at her and continued to study hard.
They are all from farming families. Those who can come here to study have ambitions no less than those young masters from wealthy families.
If you want to stand out, besides studying hard, you also need to make friends.
There are so many talented people here, but they don't have the confidence that they can become the top ones, so everyone in this dormitory chooses to make connections while studying.
But up to this point, it seems that except for Lin Anru, the progress of the other three is not much better.
Lin Anru returned to her bed, found some oil paper, cut a small bag to put the contract in, and then hung it on her body.
He had never intended to join any faction before.
Taking sides randomly is not a wise choice, and it is not something he should consider at this stage.
But there is always a gap between reality and expectations.
Because of his daughter's matter, he knew some things that were about to happen in the future, which would require a large amount of silver, forcing him to join the faction early.
In fact, as a member of the farmer's dormitory, he and the other three people were not in the eyes of these young masters.
He was old and not particularly well-educated. The other three were not very well-educated, but at least they were younger and had much more potential than this "old fellow."
The only way it could enter their eyes was thanks to my daughter's ointment.
There is a reason why outsiders describe their geographical location as a place of smoke and miasma.
The climate here is hot, the vegetation is lush, and there are many snakes, ants, rats and insects. People who live here, whether rich or poor, are troubled by these things.
As a result, various methods of insect prevention emerged one after another, and this type of ointment was especially popular among the nobility.
Families who have various insect-proofing recipes will never lose income.
The ointments sold by Lin Anru are not much worse than the ointments made from the recipes they have in their hands, and the price is even lower.
This is also why Lin Anru always sold the ointment secretly to the middle class in the private school and did not dare to sell it to the upper class.
The first is that he is afraid that others will snatch his prescription away, or buy it at an exorbitant price.
The second is the homes of the powerful, where there are many of these plasters, and they are not easy to sell.
The reason why he, who was selling well among the middle class, caught the eye of Mr. Hong was simply because many people in the middle class were dependents of the upper class.
That student Liu was one of Mr. Hong's subordinates. In order to cling to Mr. Hong's influence, Lin Anru's name appeared on Mr. Hong's list.
As early as two months ago, people from Master Hong's side wanted Lin Anru to hand over the prescription, but Lin Anru always found excuses to refuse.
"These ointments were left by my father-in-law before he died. As for the prescription, I haven't found it yet."
This was Lin Anru's excuse to the outside world. He didn't want to sell the house at that time. If the price was low, it would not be cost-effective for him. If the price was high, he would tacitly join that person's faction. He didn't want to do that.
It’s just that sometimes whether you want to do it or not is one thing, and whether you do it or not is another.
There was more than one person who came to Lin Anru to buy a house, but why did he choose Master Hong instead of considering others?
It’s just because Mr. Hong is the man in my daughter’s dream, and she wants to be his aide.
He is also the enemy of Mr. Zhao mentioned by my deceased niece Lin Shijie.
Of course, there is a more important point. Mr. Hong is the one with the best reputation among those who tried to win him over. After many inquiries and observations, Lin Anru sold the prescription to him.
That is to say, he joined Mr. Hong's camp.
After putting the contract away, Lin Anru also joined the group of people who were studying hard. Why would others look up to him if he was not strong enough?
…
"Master, why did you give up such a huge profit to that student Lin?"
After the servant sent Lin Anru and Liu Xuezi away, he returned to the room and couldn't help but ask his young master curiously.
Master Hong had no intention of clearing up his confusion. He told him to keep the contract and waved goodbye to let him leave.
The servant left, and Master Hong was the only one left in the room. He lay tiredly in the rocking chair with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
But you can tell from the way the chair is rocking that he hasn't fallen asleep yet.
Why give up such a huge profit?
Of course, it is to win people’s hearts and make good connections!
