Happy Little Scholar

Lin Family Meeting Room.

"Look at the account. The combined revenue of the three stores last year was 10% less than the year before. The investment was obviously more, so there should be more surplus. This is unreasonable."

Lin Shuwen is the second child in the Lin family. He usually has a lot of say in the family.

The eldest son of the Lin family died early, leaving only a daughter and a young son. Logically, as the second child, Lin Shuwen could take over all the business of the Lin family.

However, no one expected that the head of the family would hand over all the business of the Lin family to Lin Wanru, a woman, when he was dying.

Lin Wanru is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Before she got married, she was also a member of the Lin family. Moreover, she showed a talent for business since she was a child and had long been involved in the family business. For this arrangement, everyone was embarrassed to say anything.

Of course, not many people care how many means a girl can have.

These things can be taken back from her slowly. When she gets married, she can't take anything away.

However, they later realized that they still underestimated this niece.

In the past two years, the Lin family's business has grown bigger and bigger in her hands, and others have been less and less able to intervene. In the past two years, she has monopolized the economic power of the Lin family.

At this time, a young man said: "Second uncle, are you doubting the eldest sister?"

"I didn't say that." Lin Shuwen picked up a booklet, patted it on the table, and said: "Anyway, the account book is here. If it is missing, it is missing. I think Wanru will give us all an explanation for this matter."

A middle-aged man thought about it, stood up and said: "Last year, the jewelry business was generally sluggish, and the reduction in profits was inevitable. We can't put all the problems on Wanru."

"Second brother is not blaming Wanru. She is in charge of the family business. We don't have a clear mind, so it's right to ask."

"Yes, this is our own business. We can't always turn a blind eye. This is also for the Lin family."

……

……

In the meeting room, everyone was clearly divided into three camps.

One was led by Lin Shuwen, who was obsessed with the profit issue, and it was obvious that he had something to say.

The other side was speaking for Lin Wanru, but there were not many people.

The majority were neutral. It was not their turn to be in power in the Lin family anyway. No matter who the business was handed over to, they would get money every year. As long as the money was not small, there was no need to take sides.

"Stop talking, Wanru is here, let's see what she says." Someone suddenly stood up and said.

Everyone looked out the door.

Lin Wanru walked in from outside, nodded slightly to everyone, then looked at Lin Shuwen and asked, "Second Uncle asked me to come here this time, is there something important?"

"There is indeed something more important." Lin Shuwen nodded and said, "I looked through the accounts yesterday and found that our Lin family's investment last year was 20% more than the year before, why is the profit less? This is really unreasonable. The Lin family's business has always been managed by Wanru. I'm afraid Wanru has to give us all an explanation for this matter, right?"

Lin Wanru looked at him and asked, "Doing business has gains and losses, and it is normal for profits to fluctuate slightly, isn't it?"

Lin Shuwen smiled and said, "Wanru said that, doing business has gains and losses, but last year was obviously a good year for business, and the surplus cannot be reduced instead of increased..."

"Of course, Second Uncle has no other meaning, but the Lin family is our Lin family, and we all need to maintain it. It concerns the interests of everyone and cannot be sloppy."

Lin Shuwen smiled, as if I was thinking about everyone.

"What does the second uncle mean?" Lin Wanru looked at him and asked.

Lin Shuwen smiled and said, "There are so many people in the Lin family, and we feel bad for you, a girl, to take care of everything. With such a heavy burden on you, it is inevitable that there will be omissions like this, so I think it is better to divide the other two shops and hand them over to other people to manage, so that you will be much more relaxed and can be more focused..."

The implication of his words is that Lin Wanru, a woman, cannot manage such a large Lin family well, so there will be a loss of profit this time, so it is better to give up power early, so as to ensure everyone's interests.

"I think the second uncle is right."

"Yes, Wanru should also take a good rest."

"I agree."

...

...

After Lin Shuwen finished speaking, many people immediately responded.

Many people in the Lin family have long been dissatisfied with handing over the family business to a woman, and naturally they will take the opportunity to push it.

Even some people who have always been neutral have been a little shaken in their hearts.

Lin Wanru sighed and said, "We are all family, why does Second Uncle have to force us?"

Lin Shuwen's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "Wanru, what do you mean by this? Second Uncle is doing this for the Lin family and for you. Do you think Second Uncle is harming you?"

"So, Second Uncle really doesn't plan to let us go this time?" Lin Wanru looked at him again and said.

"You, you really take my kindness for granted!" Lin Shuwen said with an angry face, "I'm doing this for the Lin family, why don't you understand?"

"In that case..." Lin Wanru looked at him and said, "After today, Second Uncle will not have to worry about the supply of the store in the north of the city. I will arrange someone else to take over."

After that, he turned around and looked at the other two people, and said: "Third uncle, fourth uncle, you don't have to go to the shop today. I will arrange a new shopkeeper as soon as possible."

After Lin Wanru's voice fell, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Many people raised their heads and looked at her in disbelief. How could she still say such words at this time?

Lin Shuwen was stunned for a moment, but he laughed instead of getting angry, and said: "Wanru, do you really think that this Lin family is your Lin family? You are so domineering, I'm afraid no one will agree..."

He looked back at the people in the field and said: "You all saw it. Look at how domineering she has become in the past two years. When will it be the turn of a woman to make the decision in the Lin family?"

"Second uncle, don't get excited first."

Lin Wanru shook her head, looked at him, and said: "When I came here just now, I asked someone to report to the authorities. Second uncle colluded with the Bai family, the supplier, and took 17,652 taels and 40,000 taels from the shop in one year. Money is already more than 10% of the Lin family's annual profit. If you embezzle so much money, you will probably have to go to jail for decades...

But don't worry, uncle. I will take care of your affairs after your death. Auntie is married to the Lin family and is a member of our Lin family. You can go with peace of mind. The family will take good care of her. If auntie wants to remarry, we will also find a good home for her. Xiaofei has grown up and can take care of himself. The family will not treat him badly. You don't have to worry about these..."

Lin Wanru said these words calmly, but it set off a storm in everyone's heart.

"You, you..." After Lin Shuwen was stunned for a moment, his face changed drastically. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Lin Wanru waved her hand and said, "Uncle, you don't need to thank me. We are all family. This is what I should do."

After that, she added, "The people from the government office should be here soon. Uncle, don't you go back to prepare?"
