369, Lao Li's Loyalty (Please Order the Full Version)

"You have such a good intention."

"The car dealership belongs to you and Huniu. Although you are a long-term worker of the Bai family, I can't take the shares of this industry. What's the point of taking it? If you really want it, just give more gifts during the holidays. There's no need to be so polite."

Bai Gui said casually while sitting in the car seat.

Before, when he was not in Yanjing, only Liu Baoer was in charge of the Bai family. Although Lao Li was loyal to the Bai family and had a clear mind, it was not good for the housekeeper to go beyond the rules if the owner did not take the initiative to mention this matter. As for the Bai Mansion in Xizhen Hutong, in the eyes of Mrs. Bai and Bai Xiongqi, the small car dealership was not a big business. In addition, it was not easy to bypass the Bai residence to manage this matter, so it was put on hold.

But after he came to Yanjing.

The housekeeper Lao Li could not hide it from him. When the Bai Mansion had time, he might mention this matter in a casual conversation. Even if he didn't say it, with Bai Gui's eyesight, some clues could be seen.

So Xiangzi took the initiative to speak before Bai Gui came home.

Some things have not been done yet, but with Bai Gui's prestige, these small things will be solved as soon as he arrives, and he doesn't even need to speak up or mention them in person.

However, as Bai Gui said to Liu Baoer before, a car dealership business, or a car dealership that has just started, does not make much profit, and the Bai family is not so eager to covet such a small fortune.

If you don't make a "effort" on the surface and ask for shares, it will indeed affect your reputation.

Some things are unspoken rules.

It is a rule to use the reputation and power of the Bai family and hand over shares.

But the unspoken rules of the industry cannot be brought to the table, because this is also a rule.

So Bai Gui asked Xiangzi and Huniu to give some gifts during the holidays.

People who understand the rules know that gifts cannot be light or small. Shares will not be accepted, but the income from the shares will be deducted as money for gifts.

But in general, how much money can you give as a gift? !

Compared to giving shares, it is much less!

The same gift, the gift list is posted, and it is also a way to cover up Xiangzi and Huniu's car business. Compared with the secret shares, it is better.

Sometimes..., there is no way to give gifts even if you have money!

"Yes, I know."

Xiangzi replied quickly.

After he finished speaking, his face was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more, and he kept pulling the car.

There are things in it that he can't understand.

Knowledge, no such knowledge.

How could he know that Bai Gui's words hid such a mystery.

This time, Huniu deliberately urged him to come, so that he could show his courtesy in front of Mr. Bai.

Not long after, they arrived at Luohua Hutong.

Bai's house.

"Hello, sir and madam."

Hearing the sound of rickshaws coming from the door, the helpers of the Bai family rushed out one by one and greeted at the side door.

This is not because the Bai family has strict rules, but because Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu have not been to the Bai residence for a long time. The purpose of the greeting is mostly to let the helpers in the house get to know the master and the mistress, so as to avoid conflicts in the future.

At the side door, there were seven or eight people standing sparsely.

There were maids who made beds, old women who served people, chefs in the kitchen, and so on. The current situation is unfavorable, and people's lives are difficult. The capital is the best place, and there is always a way to make a living here.

So there are often dental shops that come to sell helpers.

Because of Bai Gui, the Bai family has always done good deeds and accumulated virtues. Even if the family does not need so many people, they can only take them in and give them a job.

After all, the Bai family only has a few people. Before cleaning the courtyard, Lao Li could do it all by himself, and there was no need for so many people to work together.

"It's almost the end of the year, this is the red envelope my wife and I gave to everyone."

"It's not much money, please don't blame me."

Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu were prepared, took out a stack of red envelopes and handed them out.

The red envelopes were thick and thin.

According to the ranks of the Bai family's helpers, they couldn't be disordered.

To avoid family disharmony.

But each red envelope contained a lot of money, three or four silver dollars for the thin ones, and ten silver dollars for the thick ones.

Don't look at these people who look lonely, but they are often one person who receives a monthly salary and then helps a large family. It's not easy to find a job as a helper in a big family.

"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs."

Everyone's face was happy.

They just received the red envelope.

They can almost feel how much money there is.

I didn't expect that just welcoming the master and the lady would have such a benefit.

But they thought about it for a while and understood it.

Their husband is a national-level writer and literary giant, and one manuscript can earn them a lifetime of expenses. And his wife was also from a wealthy family. This little red envelope money was nothing.

Entering the house.

The maid named Yuelian led Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu into the master bedroom.

The other helpers scattered, each busy with their own things.

Not long after, the housekeeper Lao Li knocked on the door and walked in. The first thing he reported to Bai Gui was the car dealership opened by Xiangzi and Huniu.

"The young lady has a bright personality. When she sees the poor people suffering, she will give them money. But I am an old man who knows things. Ha! Does being poor mean being kind-hearted?"

Lao Li is older and more hunched than a few years ago, but he is in high spirits when he is happy. Their Li family has been blessed by the Bai family in recent years, and they have hope for the future, so they look energetic and speak with a strong voice.

"Xiangzi's mother-in-law, Huniu, is a naughty character inside. She had a falling out with Fourth Master Liu, came to the lady to plead for mercy, and then came to me to argue..."

"I have received great kindness from you, sir. I remember everything in my heart, one after another."

Lao Li said.

Bai Gui doesn't care about some small things that embezzle the interests of the Bai family, but the housekeeper Lao Li, who has been greatly favored, is not easy to manage, but he keeps everything in mind, waiting for Bai Gui, who can really take charge of the family. This was revealed after the person came back.

"Xiangzi told Mr. Xiangzi about this on the way here."

"According to what you said, Lao Li, this should be the instigation of Huniu... I will resign Xiangzi tomorrow and hire a new coachman."

Bai Xiuzhu saw Bai Gui's expression and knew that it was difficult for Bai Gui to speak.

Xiangzi is a long-term worker hired by Bai Gui.

So he turned a white face.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. Lao Li, please pay attention to this matter."

"Xiangzi knows his mistakes and can correct them. There is no great way to do good. The Bai family is a famous family, so we can't be too fussy about it."

Bai Gui pondered for a moment and said.

Bai Gui does not intend to deal with the matter between Xiangzi and Huniu easily, and is prepared to see how it behaves in the future. However, now the housekeeper Lao Li has "stepped in". Lao Li is out of loyalty, and he cannot make it difficult for Lao Li.

Lao Li is right, not all poor people are kind-hearted, but at the same time, not all rich people are good people.

Just like now, when he handles this matter, he is "rich and conscientious".

But is it really true that rich people are so kind? I don’t think so. It’s just because rich people are well-known people and it’s not easy to care about small profits to appear mean. And these small profits, in the eyes of the poor, may be enough to support them for several months.

In order to survive, it will inevitably make others feel a lot of eyesore.

Bai Gui came from a bitter background and knew this, so he could be more tolerant of Xiangzi.

Of course, if it weren't for Xiangzi's performance of knowing his mistakes, he wouldn't be a good person, so he would do whatever he wants.

"It's fine that Mr. and Mrs. know about it."

"Lao Li is the housekeeper. How to deal with things is your decision, sir and madam. I dare not say anything."

Seeing this, the housekeeper Lao Li immediately replied.

He has been a doorman and housekeeper for so many years, and he knows what should be taken care of and what should not be taken care of.

He just needs to do his job well.

If it weren't for Bai Gui's great kindness to him, he would never have reached this point. He could only remember the fact that Xiangzi sought the "private interests" of the Bai family, but he could not take action to punish him beyond his master's family.

Bai Gui nodded and signaled Lao Li to continue talking about other things.

Soon, Lao Li told Bai Gui one by one about some of the problems that the Bai family had accumulated in the past few years.

Thanks to Bai Gui's identity and status, as well as the support of Bai Mansion in Xizhen Hutong. Most of the problems Lao Li mentioned were not big problems. If there were big problems, the patrol room would basically turn to the White House. So basically just trivial things. Xiangzi's incident is the only major event.

Of course, these so-called trivial matters are to Bai Gui, but in the eyes of housekeeper Lao Li, these can never be called trivial matters.

Bai Gui has many years of experience in ruling the Tang Dynasty, and he is very experienced in handling political affairs. Managing a big country is like cooking a small fish. A big country has already been cooked, let alone a small fish.

Everything was handled appropriately.

For incidents like Xiangzi's, Bai Gui won't care too much as long as he has a sense of repentance.

Don't neglect a good deed because it is small.

In Dream of Red Mansions, Wang Xifeng has done many bad things throughout her life, but one small thing she did seemed to her to be a small thing at the time. When Grandma Liu went to Jia's house to borrow money, she agreed to twenty taels. silver. Later, the Jia Mansion was completely white, and Wang Xifeng's daughter, Sister Qiaoer, was reduced to a land of fireworks. Grandma Liu repaid her kindness, sold her property, and saved Sister Qiaoer's life...

Although the Bai family has many backup players from Bai Gui, basically the Jia family's situation is unlikely to happen.

But there is a saying that goes well: do good deeds without worrying about the future.

"Sir, he is good at planning and making decisions..."

"I was thinking hard about how to deal with these things at first, but I didn't expect that my husband immediately thought of a way to deal with it."

Lao Li said after listening to Bai Gui's verdict.

This sentence is both flattery and heartfelt admiration.

Decisive, ruthless, yet kind.

This is what he can feel.

The three of them were talking.

A woman's chatter and laughter came from outside the house, as sweet as silver bells.

"It's the lady from Lengzhai next door..."

"She and the young lady went to and from school together. They have been close friends for a long time."

Lao Li bowed slightly and explained.

He knew about the "grievance" between his husband and the lady from the cold house next door, so he explained it.

"No wonder I didn't see Bao'er before. It turns out he went to Lengzhai."

Bai Gui nodded, relieved.

"I heard that the young master from the Jin Mansion... has been pursuing Miss Leng recently."

The housekeeper Lao Li reminded me.

He knew that the Bai family had a certain relationship with Baifu and Jinfu. Moreover, Jin Yanxi, the young master of the Jin family, is the son of Jin Quan, the chief assistant of the central government. He is involved in many things, so we must pay attention to it.
