Finest Servant

Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Instigation

Dong Rende didn't know why Lin Wanrong left this blank part, and Lin Wanrong didn't explain it either.

Before Uncle Wei left, he left fifty taels of silver for Lin Wanrong as his living expenses. Lin Wanrong took out every penny and handed it all to Dong Rende. "To gain others' trust, one must first trust others," this was Lin Wanrong's principle in doing business.

Seeing how much Lin Wanrong trusted him, Dong Rende was excited and had Dong Qiaoqiao take out a handful of broken silver from the corner, which amounted to ten taels. "Could this be Miss Qiaoqiao's dowry money?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile.

Dong Qiaoqiao blushed and Dong Rende awkwardly laughed. "You are mocking me, Young Master Lin."

Lin Wanrong said seriously, "There is nothing to laugh about. Uncle Dong, Miss Qiaoqiao, we are doing business. The capital we invest must return tenfold. If we lose, it is my fault to you and Miss Qiaoqiao."

Dong Qiaoqiao looked at him and quickly shook her head. "Young Master Lin, we trust you."

"Uncle Dong, Miss Qiaoqiao, since you trust me, I promise you that when the business is successful, I will give you fifty percent of the profits, including the capital investment. At that time, we will give Miss Qiaoqiao a generous dowry." Lin Wanrong smiled.

This was a big move. Even if they just broke even, giving fifty percent to Dong Rende was worth twenty taels. This would definitely shock the Dong family.

To be honest, Lin Wanrong didn't care much about money. Before he came to this world, even though he worked for others, his annual salary was over 400,000. Apart from using some money to support his parents and sister's college education, he also supported over ten poor orphans in mountain villages. He spent the rest of his money on dating girls because spending more money made men more motivated to earn more money. This was Lin Wanrong's view.

He wanted to use this opportunity to earn his first pot of gold in this world. Money was only a small reason. The most important thing was that he wanted to prove that he could also be successful in this new world.

Lin Wanrong was so enthusiastic that the Dong family was scared. Dong Rende quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I can only earn money by following Young Master Lin. How can I be so greedy? We only need some wages."

Lin Wanrong laughed heartily. "Uncle Dong, we haven't made any money yet. Maybe this time, you won't even get your capital back. Let's not discuss these matters for now. Let's just do what I said."

"No, I believe that young master is fully capable of achieving it." Dong Rende was a discerning person and had complete faith in Lin Wanrong.

Lin Wanrong smiled but didn't say anything. He instructed Old Dong and his daughter to write various scandalous stories about Miss Xiao while he took Dong Qingshan out and headed straight toward the Xiao family.

Dong Qingshan followed Lin Wanrong, excitedly asking, "Brother Lin, teach me. When I fight with others, how can I protect my dad and sister while also beating down those guys?"

Lin Wanrong didn't answer his question but instead asked, "Qingshan, do you always go alone when you fight with others?"

Dong Qingshan paused before answering, "Sometimes I go with Li Beidou and a couple of others, but most of the time, I go alone." It was clear that Li Beidou was one of Dong Qingshan's fighting buddies.

"Are there any friends around you who also can't stand people bullying others?" Lin Wanrong asked.

"Why, of course? In our area, there are several groups of three or four people, and I have good relations with them," Dong Qingshan replied.

"Why?" Lin Wanrong asked.

"Because I am better at fighting," Dong Qingshan said with a sheepish grin.

Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly. Such scattered individuals would be hard to organize. He needed to organize them into an "organized crime" group.

"Qingshan, do you know the saying 'strength in numbers'?" Lin Wanrong asked.

Dong Qingshan's eyes lit up. "Brother Lin, are you saying that we should fight together?"

Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Qingshan, as long as you unite these people, become their leader, and you will have tremendous power. Many things can be solved without you having to take action, and fights will naturally become less frequent."

Lin Wanrong didn't say the last sentence about fights growing in scale, but Dong Qiaoqiao, the young lady, understood it. "Become their leader?" Dong Qingshan's eyes sparkled. "But what if some people don't accept me as their leader?"

Lin Wanrong coldly smiled and said, "Don't accept? What do you have fists for?"

"I understand now. If they don't accept me, I'll just beat them until they do," Dong Qingshan yelled and jumped up.

The underworld was formed in this way. "Am I too bad?" Lin Wanrong couldn't help but smile and touch his nose after hearing Dong Qingshan's words. Dong Qingshan was clearly still a child.

"Let's solve the problem in the south of the city first, and then the west, east, and north, one by one. When you become the leader of this Jinling city, no one will dare to bully you again," Lin Wanrong wickedly instigated, as if countless black-clad gangsters were flashing before his eyes, hacking and killing in the city of Jinling.

This is how the underworld works. If Lin Wanrong didn't teach Dong Qingshan to do it today, someone else would someday.

"The leader of Jinling?" Dong Qingshan seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lin Wanrong with infinite admiration. "Brother Lin, your teachings today will be unforgettable for me for a lifetime. Yes, I want to be the leader of Jinling, but Brother Lin, you are my leader, the leader of the leader in Jinling."

Lin Wanrong laughed heartily. "You brat--"

Dong Qingshan rubbed his head awkwardly. Seeing his expression, Lin Wanrong knew that the boy's heart had been completely inspired by him, and couldn't help but sigh, "Qingshan, it's easy to talk about this, but it will be difficult and dangerous to do it. You must remember that the best weapon is your brain. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me and I will help you solve them."

After coming to this world, Lin Wanrong felt that he had changed a lot. There was always a kind of impulsive force in his heart. Perhaps he had been suppressed for too long in that regulated world. Coming here, he had no burden at all, and his evil side was completely released.

Lin Wanrong's small hint made Dong Qingshan understand many things. He looked at Lin Wanrong and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I know what to do now. If I encounter any problems that I can't solve, I will come to you. You are my big brother." This time he directly called him "big brother" and omitted the name "Lin."

The underworld was finally taking shape. Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart. With Dong Qingshan's temperament, he would sooner or later take this step. He was just taking advantage of the situation and guiding him to mature as soon as possible, so that he could suffer less harm. Hopefully, Dong Qiaoqiao, that girl, wouldn't blame him.

Dong Qingshan was an impatient person. After receiving Lin Wanrong's guidance, he became even more impatient and went directly to find Li Beidou and others to discuss. Lin Wanrong went to Xiao's mansion alone.

Xiao family was one of the largest households in Jinling city, and with the road index that Old Dong had given Lin Wanrong, it was easy to find the place.

Before he even arrived at the Xiao mansion, he saw a crowd of people in the distance, noisy and chaotic. There was a tall gatehouse with a wall that was over three meters high and a meter wide. Two heavy stone lions stood at the gate, and two thick vermilion lacquered doors were tightly closed. A huge gold-plated sign was hung on the door, and the words "Xiao Mansion" shone brightly in the sunlight.
