Chapter 156: Full of Loopholes and in Disarray

t are we going to do"He only just realized, he should have left him alive!"Sigh."Yang Lin sighed, "What else can we do We'll just have to look slowly. But don't get your hopes up. This mountain is so...Following the sound, Yang Lin immediately saw a short-haired, thin girl hesitatingly step forward. Her eyes were filled with weakness, and upon meeting Yang Lin's gaze, she immediately lowered her head.

A girl of sixteen or seventeen, her pretty face was covered in dirt, and her body so thin that a gust of wind could knock her down.

Seeing the other person like that, Yang Lin immediately realized what was going on.

Yang Lin asked, “Can you write”

"Um." The girl nodded.

"Can you do math" Yang Lin asked again.

The girl nodded again.

"I'll ask you a question. There are 36 chickens, and they need to be divided among six people. How many chickens will each person get"

This is a question that a second grader in the past could have answered, but it's not so simple here.

Chen Hai heard the question and was already calculating in his mind. He planned to show Yang Lin what he was capable of.

Within two seconds, the girl blurted out, "Six each!"

"You got it right, come over here. From now on, you'll be by my side, as my assistant. Your pay will be twenty wen a day, just like I said. As long as you complete the tasks I give you, you'll keep your job. But if you don't do well, I'll replace you!"

As my business grows, I urgently need an assistant.

Yang Lin didn't expect her to have any special talents, he just needed someone who could run errands, pass messages, and keep track of schedules.

The girl was overjoyed and nodded eagerly.

What is your name

"Alan." The girl said, her head bowed in shyness.

"I now have a task for you. Go to the Workshop District and find Gao Da Zhuang, the foreman of the construction team. Tell him to build a road from outside the village, bypassing the village itself, and leading directly to the Workshop District. Go!"

Looking at Alan's astonished face, Yang Lin continued, "This is also a test for you. If you can't handle this, then you'll just have to find another job."

Yang Lin, this is also a test of her ability to handle things.

She was new here, and she didn't know where the workshop district was or who the tall strong man was. She wasn't even sure if she would remember these words she had just spoken. These were all tests for her!

Alan, who still wanted to say something, heard this and nodded his lips, asked someone where the workshop area was, then left without hesitation.

Yang Lin looked again for a while, the guard team had already recruited over a hundred people, and the queue was still so long. Seeing this, Yang Lin wasn't worried anymore.

Yang Lin was just about to leave, but Zhao Fuguai hurried back and whispered, "Yang Lin, I think there are a lot of people here who look like refugees!"

Yang Lin nodded. "I see what you mean."

If he guessed correctly, that Alan just now was a refugee.

This is also why so many people came today.

Refugees from the south have reached the borders of Jianghe County!

Zhao Fuguai was stunned: "Since you know, you still dare to admit it"

Most refugees are homeless and jobless. Without dental records, they lack identity. Though most are disaster victims who have fled their homes, there might also be fugitives hiding among them!

When dealing with migrants, even the government officials find it a headache. Most allow migrants to pass through their jurisdiction but do not permit them to settle there.

"It's not a problem," Yang Lin said with bitterness. "Anyone who has food and clothing wants to live a good life. If I can make them eat, I believe they will cherish this job."

"Alright." Seeing that Yang Lin had already made up his mind, Zhao Fu貴 stopped persuading him.

Immediately, Yang Lin took his second aunt and her family of three back home.

I hosted my second aunt's family for a very sumptuous lunch today.

It has fish meat, tofu, bean curd sheets, and some homegrown vegetables. It's cooked with pork oil and soy sauce, making it exceptionally delicious!

However, after learning about Yang Lin's current identity and immense wealth, both Zhao Chunxiang and Chen Hai became somewhat reserved.

Only my cousin Chen Dabiao still happily munched on the meat with great pleasure, looking utterly blissful.

After the meal, Yang Lin had someone arrange accommodation for them. They didn't breathe easy until the family of three, including Second Aunt, left.

Big sister Qu Ting asked somewhat puzzled, "Husband, isn't she your aunt"

"Yeah, what's up"

Qu Ting said, "Our family has so much silver that it's overflowing. Besides, you're always generous, giving out rewards of a few ounces or dozens of taels without batting an eyelid. Now that your second aunt's family has come to rely on you, why not give them some silver directly and let them go back home to live a good life"

Erjie also nodded.

Now our family has tens of thousands of taels of silver! Just giving them a few dozen taels would be enough for them to spend for several years!

Yang Lin smiled and said, "You don't understand. It's better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. This is the real way to be good to them."

Li Yuyao also coldly said, "Husband is right, the handling of this matter is more about human relations! Husband did nothing wrong, it's you who underestimate people's greed!"

Hearing Li Y Yao's words, Yang Lin's eyes lit up.

He had been looking for someone with a strategic mind all along, and here he was!

"My lady, how do you think I'm managing these businesses now If I handed them over to you, would you have any suggestions"

This question can also be seen as a test for her.

However, Li Yiyong let out a cold snort and shook her head. “You ask me how you’re managing Well, all I can tell you is that your ideas are often good, but you lack courage and laziness! You don't put much effort into managing the industries, which is why they're now full of loopholes and in utter disarray!”

Yang Lin was dumbfounded.

He originally just wanted to casually ask for her opinion, to see if she could say anything, but he didn't expect that she would say that he was running things terribly.

"Could you please explain in more detail!"

Yang Lin asked unconvinced.

He admits that he doesn't put much thought into these industries. He usually delegates authority and sets goals for people to achieve.

But these industries are growing larger and larger. How could she say they're so bad

"Alright!" Li Yuxiang said coldly, "First of all, you have dozens of workshops in your hands, nearly a thousand people rely on you for food. There are countless big and small matters every day, but until now, you haven't even come up with any regulations or rules, let alone a system of rewards and punishments!"

"Do you know that there are already signs of slacking off and even theft in the workshop now People have been taking back home the tofu and paper produced in the workshop, and even the raw materials!"

Yang Lin was dumbfounded.

I finally understand.

Yes, in past lives, forget about large corporations with thousands of employees; even small companies with just dozens of people had punch cards, performance evaluations, bonus standards, and penalty standards...

And now he's not even losing his composure! That's a miracle in itself!

Furthermore, you are blindly expanding your ranks but have seriously inadequate preparations. If you don't adjust in time, within a few days, believe it or not, chaos will erupt!

A chill flashed in Li Yuxi's eyes.here she lives... My family makes tofu, and every once in a while, she comes to buy it from us. If the Purple-Clothed Maiden wants to find her, just wait for her next time she comes to buy tofu.""Tofu...
