Fang Shiqian left the old man's residence and rushed straight to Shuixie Courtyard to find Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had finished washing up at this moment and was standing outside the door holding a dilapidated copy of "Laozi".

"The way of heaven is like a bow! The higher ones suppress it, the lower ones lift it, the more excess are damaged, and the less insufficient are treated. The way of heaven is damaged and the more insufficient is compensated..."

He looked like a poor scholar who shook his head.

Lin Fan is a very serious person. Since he has chosen the identity of a scholar, he must pretend to be more decent.

When Fang Shiqian saw Lin Fan’s study scene, he nodded with a smile, and then said, “Nephew Lin, it’s early.”

Lin Fan put down the book in his hand and bowed: "Good uncle."

Fang Shiqian walked closer: "I had a good rest last night. What are the things in this room lacking?"

Lin Fan quickly waved his hand: "This place is very good, and Uncle Lau has troubled it. But the items in this room are too luxurious and are not suitable for hard study."

Fang Shiqian nodded, and added another praise to Lin Fan in his heart.

Most people will inevitably get lost after suffering a lot of poverty. However, they did not expect that Lin Fan was unmoved at all, which shows that this son's determination is very strong.

"Nephew Lin, my father wants to see you, please follow me."

Lin Fan had long expected that the head of the Fang family would summon him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Of course, it was impossible to refuse, so he agreed happily, went back to the house and put down the book, and followed Fang Shiqian to the backyard of the Fang family's mansion.

Yesterday, it was midnight when Lin Fan arrived at Fang's house. The whole mansion was quiet and no one was walking around, but this morning it was another busy scene.

Groups of men and women shuttled back and forth in the yard, each of them was in a hurry. When they saw Fang Shiqian, they stopped walking and did not dare to be negligent.

These servants all looked curiously at Lin Fan beside Fang Shiqian. I don’t know who this pale young man was, but he was following the master, and the two of them were talking and laughing.

Fang Shiqian said to Lin Fan: "My father is easy-going and approachable. Don't be nervous when you meet him later. Just answer him."

Lin Fan thought I had something to be nervous about, but looking at Fang Shiqian's uneasy appearance, he was a little nervous.

Fang Shiqian is in a complicated mood now. He hopes that Lin Fan will marry into the family, because after the son-in-law is settled, the old man's position can be passed on to him smoothly, and he can develop the Fang family's business with peace of mind in the future without having to beware of his second and third brothers.

But it is hard to say whether Fang Zhongyue can agree with Lin Fan. The old man's vision is very vicious, and there are really few people who can see him for so many years.

Therefore, whether this thing will succeed depends on Lin Fan’s own performance.

Fang Shiqian kept thinking about these things in his mind and took Lin Fan to the residence where the old man was.

This time, Fang Shiqian did not go in directly, but asked the servant at the door to go in and report: "Go and tell my father that Lin Fan is here."

The servant agreed, turned around and walked into the door, and then hurriedly returned after a while.

"The head of the family is in the tea room upstairs, please come in."

Fang Shiqian took Lin Fan into the attic and walked up the second floor along the stairs. Fang Zhongyue sat on a chair in the upper head, closing his eyes to rest.

Fang Shiqian walked forward: "Father, Lin Fan is here."

Fang Zhongyue slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Fan at the door.

The old man presided over the Fang family for decades and managed a large family of hundreds of people, making the huge family business flourish. Naturally, it is not a simple person.

Looking at Lin Fan's eyes, it seemed that they could see through people's hearts at a glance.

Lin Fan stood there without being humble or arrogant, and gave a deep gift: "My younger generation, Lin Fan, please pay tribute to the head of the family."

Fang Zhongyue raised his hand: "The ancestors of Fang Lin families are close friends, so there is no need to see each other. You can call me Grandpa Fang. My big grade is not considered as taking advantage of you."

"Sit down and talk."

Lin Fan agreed, then walked to the side and sat down, and Fang Shiqian also sat on the side.

Fang Zhongyue's eyes were always staring at Lin Fan: "I heard Shiqian say that your parents have passed away. Do you have any other relatives at home now?"

Lin Fan shook his head: "The family is in a state of decline. Even some remote relatives have been unable to contact after years of displaced."

Fang Zhongyue sighed: "The ups and downs of family affairs are the norm in the world, so there is no need to be too sad. Fang Lin and his family are close friends. You can stay here in the future."

Lin Fan bowed and bowed: "Thank you, Grandpa Fang."

Fang Zhongyue ordered the servants standing aside to serve tea, and then looked at Lin Fan: "What else have you done at home besides studying?"

Lin Fan's heart moved and had already guessed the other party's intention. It seemed that the old man was planning to find something for him.

Lin Fan naturally had no interest in these secular things. The only thing he wanted to do now was to lie dormant here and recuperate his injuries.

So Fang Zhongyue asked him what he would do, and Lin Fan naturally didn't want to give him a chance.

"Everything is inferior, but only reading is high, Lin Fan used to be just studying."

The old man was choked, but he didn't expect that Lin Fan was indeed a nerd and could not do anything except study.

Fang Shiqian grinned anxiously on the side, wishing he could go up and answer for Lin Fan.

Fang Zhongyue laughed, but didn't care too much. He turned to look at the servant beside him: "Is Mr. Gou here?"

The servant shook his head: "I'm not here yet, I'll go find him."

As soon as the servant finished speaking, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded at the stairs. A moment later, a middle-aged fat man went up to the second floor panting and came to Fang Zhongyue in panic.

The fat man had two beards and a thick book in his hand. He bowed to the monks and spoke in a daze.

"Sir, I...I'm late."

Fang Zhongyue glanced at the fat man: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The fat man grinned: "Our Dabao just knocked over the inkstone in the account room and dirtyed the account book. I taught him a lesson, but it ended up wasting time."

Fang Zhongyue smiled and waved his hand: "It's normal for a child to be naughty. Didn't Dabao go to school today?"

The fat man sighed: "Mr. Chen from the school died a few days ago, so Dabao has been with me recently, but it has made me suffer~"

Fang Zhongyue laughed twice, then changed the subject: "Have you brought the things you have sorted out?"

The fat man quickly opened the booklet in his hand: "It has been sorted out. There are six silk factories and satin shops that are currently vacant."

Fang Zhongyue nodded, then looked at Lin Fan: "The Fang family has a lot of business everywhere. I asked Master Gou to sort it out and see if anyone is interested."

Lin Fan really doesn't want to get involved in any industry of Fang's family, and he has no interest at all. The most important thing he is to repair the meridians in his body. It is meaningless to waste time on these mundane things.

However, the old man was so kind that he could not help but listen to it. He turned to look at the fat man: "Master Gou, please speak."

Master Gou picked up the booklet: "The silk and satin farm in the east of the city lacks a accountant."

Lin Fan shook his head: "I don't know much about the method of numerology, and a gentleman is not close to money and sex. I won't do this accountant."

Master Gou said, "The silk factory in Yangcun outside the city now has a supervisor who is in charge. What about this?"

Lin Fan shook his head again: "A gentleman is not forced to do anything. Those workers are lazy in their work. I can't force them. I can't do this supervisor."

Master Gou swallowed: "Then... the restaurant in the west of the city is now missing a deputy store owner."

"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen and doesn't go."

Master Gou's voice was a little trembling: "It's okay, I'll look for it again... The Sanglin, forty miles east of the city, is now in short supply of people to take care of."

Lin Fan refused firmly: "It's too far away, don't go."

Master Gou almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. He had never seen such a picky and slim person!

Who is this person?

Fang Shiqian frowned in his horoscope. Unexpectedly, Lin Fan didn't want to do anything, and he was simply useless!

At this moment, Fang Zhongyue coughed: "Lin Fan, as the saying goes, you have applied what you have learned. You have read a lot of books, but you have to use them in the end. It is not advisable to work behind closed doors."

Lin Fan is not a fool. Seeing the old man like this, if he refuses again, he will probably be swept out of the house, so he nodded.

"Lin Fan understands."

Then Lin Fan turned to look at Master Gou: "Your Dabao hasn't gone to school in the school recently?"

Master Gou didn't know how Lin Fan mentioned this matter, so he nodded in confusion: "Yes, because Mr. Chen from the school died a few days ago and has not found a new teacher yet."

Lin Fan nodded: "Then I will go to the school to be a teacher."

Master Gou felt dizzy and reached out to hold the chair beside him: "The school is not the Fang family's property, this... is a bit difficult."

Lin Fan looked as usual: "It's okay, I'll go to the school to recommend myself."

He really didn't want to get involved in the Fang family's affairs. It can be seen from the sachet that would summon ghosts yesterday that the internal storm of the Fang family was surging. If he was involved, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.

If you have to find something to do, going to a school to teach is a good choice. Anyway, it is just to watch a group of children recite the Four Books and Five Classics, which saves you worry and effort.

Master Gou didn't know Lin Fan's thoughts. He only felt the urge to beat Lin Fan. He had never seen such an inexplicable person!

Are you trying to trick me on purpose?

"Young Master... I still have a lot of vacancies here, why don't you take a look..."
