"Know what?"
"You know he's Jia Jiaojiao's boyfriend? Wasn't it him who sent you to me for treatment?"
The three of them nodded in unison.
"Didn't he say how he knew I could cure diseases?"
They all shook their heads in unison.
“I don’t work at the hospital. He knew I could treat illnesses because he was brought here by Jia Jiaojiao…”
Upon hearing this, the three of them's eyes lit up even more.
"So you think he's very rich?"
Nods quickly.
"So, should you pay me back?"
They nodded again, then their eyes all turned to Siqi, bright and filled with greed.
Siqi looked at Lin Li with resentment in her eyes.
He had always known about his family's greed, and now that they knew he was the boyfriend of the richest man's daughter, they probably wouldn't let him off the hook.
Lin Li looked at his resentful eyes and raised an eyebrow provocatively.
Siqi pursed her lips tightly, regretting for the first time that she had encouraged her family to come to her for treatment.
He quickly pulled out dozens of ten-yuan bills from his pocket, stuffed them into Lin Li's hand, and left the Lin family without looking back.
The three men glanced at the banknotes in Lin Li's hand with greedy eyes, their faces revealing a ravenous grin.
Turning her head, her voice was obsequious, "Siqi, wait for us!"
They quickly disappeared around the corner of the alley.
Li Yang watched the four figures leave, shook his head, and then also said goodbye and left.
The onlookers, some in twos and some in threes, left the Lin family courtyard, still discussing the matter.
Lin Laosan stared at the courtyard gate hanging precariously on the pillar, his face ashen.
He walked to the gate, finally managed to close it, then grabbed a wooden stick from the yard and braced it against the gate before turning to look at Lin Li.
"Mom, I'll get someone to fix it tomorrow!"
"OK!"
Lin Li handed him the money in her hand, "The front door still needs to be made sturdier. If anyone comes to kick our door again, let them break their feet first."
Lin Laosan: ...
The two little ones: Another strange and wonderful piece of knowledge has been added.
Lin Laosan turned his head and looked at the empty courtyard again, cursing himself inwardly. Who told him to be so blind as to fall for a woman like Jia Jiaojiao? These past few days, he's made a mess of the house.
Lin Li followed his gaze, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's alright. Everyone has moments of blindness. It's better to know her character now than to find out after marriage!"
The two little ones also shook their heads and walked over, reaching out to pat his thighs and lower abdomen.
"It's alright, Third Uncle, next time we'll keep our eyes peeled!"
Lin Laosan: ...
"We won't tidy up the courtyard for now, since we'll be moving into the new courtyard house in a month anyway!"
Lin Li glanced at the empty courtyard and said something indifferently.
Besides, she felt it was quite worthwhile to exchange the things in the yard for four storefronts and several houses.
"We can move into our new house next month?"
Lin Li nodded, then looked at the three people's delighted expressions and asked in surprise.
Didn't I just say that?
All three shook their heads in unison.
"Oh, we were probably too engrossed in discussing the third brother's judgment and forgot to mention it to you."
Lin Laosan: Can this matter be left alone?
The following months passed peacefully, as if Jia Jiaojiao's matter had already come to an end.
All four storefronts in Beijing have opened, and business is booming.
Xu Ting is in charge of the clothing store, and Xu Yue is in charge of cosmetics.
Lin Li gave Gao Zhe's phone number to Xu Yue, telling her to contact Gao Zhe directly to get the goods.
He also told Gao Zhe about Xu Yue's situation, suggesting that the stores here could follow the Shenzhen model and become unified franchise stores.
Lin Li left the rest of the work to the two of them to handle.
During this period of leisure, in addition to developing several skin care and cosmetic products, Lin Li also focused on developing a highly effective hair growth agent.
This incident with Jia Dashan made her realize that the hair growth product market is huge.
She felt unsatisfied if she didn't take a bite of such a big cake.
After successfully developing the hair growth product, she led the R&D team recruited by Gao Zhe to develop several shampoos and conditioners.
Gao Zhe was overjoyed, holding all the new products developed by Lin Li and her team, and he led the sales team to open stores and find markets like crazy.
Soon, Gao Zhe's side occupied the market with products such as skin care products, cosmetics, hair growth products and shampoos.
Wang Jianguo's catering company also expanded rapidly. After the third hotel was firmly established in Shenzhen, he turned his attention to the surrounding markets and even the port city across the sea.
After telling Lin Li about her plans, Lin Li contacted Mr. Yu and expressed her idea of opening a hotel in Hong Kong.
Mr. Yu immediately put Awei in charge of the matter.
After Lin Li introduced Awei and Wang Jianguo, the two immediately got to work and began preparing the necessary documents in accordance with the various regulations governing the approval of mainland enterprises investing and establishing businesses in Hong Kong.
The village's garment factory is thriving thanks to sales in Beijing and its own self-developed markets.
The village chief had already told everyone that at the end of the year, the participating villagers would receive a large dividend, so that everyone could have a prosperous New Year.
Lin Li provides generous salaries, bonuses, and profit sharing to the employees of the clothing store, pharmaceutical factory, and catering company, which greatly motivates everyone and creates a positive cycle for the entire enterprise.
Time flowed by peacefully yet busily.
That day, Lin Li had just returned to her courtyard house in Beijing after finishing her work in Shenzhen when she heard a knock on the gate.
He put down what he was organizing and called out as he walked, "Coming, coming!"
Upon opening the door, one sees Professor Chen standing there with Chen Xue, carrying many gifts.
Chen Xue was wearing a loose military overcoat, her face was rosy, and her eyes were full of smiles. Looking at Lin Li, her smile deepened.
"Dr. Lin, the New Year is just around the corner. My daughter and I brought you some local specialties from our hometown. Please don't find them too cheap!"
Professor Chen looked at Lin Li with a relieved smile on his face, and even his voice was filled with joy.
"Oh my~~~ You two can come all you want, why bring things? That's too much of a formality!"
Lin Li accepted it with a smile as she spoke.
It would be impolite to refuse someone who brought the gifts.
But she had already decided what to give as a return gift.
Only through mutual exchange can friendships last!
"Yes, yes!"
Lin Li led Professor Chen and Chen Xue into the courtyard and closed the gate.
They were led back to the main room.
"Dr. Lin, actually, my daughter and I have another matter we'd like to ask you for help with!"
Professor Chen glanced at Chen Xue's belly, and his smile widened.
"Please take my Chen Xue's pulse again and check her health. Is there anything we need to be careful about?"
