Qingfeng Building is still on the third floor, but this time it is a small room, but the wine and food are still the best. It is delivered in like flowing water and placed on the tables of the host and guests.

The only difference is that the pot in front of Li Ling contained tea instead of wine. When he was injured yesterday, he returned to the Gu family. After being seen by Yue'er, the little girl was worried that she would almost cry. He comforted her for a long time before she could relieve her sister. So he would never allow him to be drunk before he healed, even outside - Well, who is the brother?

In addition to Li Ling and the Wan family, Gu Yuezi was also accompanying him. At this moment, the people were smiling and greeting each other. Until the wine and food were all over, Li Ling raised his glass and said, "I am injured. The doctor told me not to drink, so I can only use tea instead of wine. I hope Brother Wan, don't be accustomed to you."

Seeing everyone smiling and nodding, he continued, "Then I will respect Brother Wan and this hero for the first time today. Thank you for helping you yesterday, otherwise I might have been hurt by the thief." After that, he raised his neck and dried the tea.

The others also had a cup of their own, but Li Ling did not stop and poured another cup: "This second cup is to apologize to Brother Wan. Last year, our methods of fighting between the two bookstores were indeed a little ruthless, which caused the Wan family to lose a lot. I hope you don't hold a grudge."

Wan Lang saw him drink another drink and laughed: "You are so disgusting. That's just a small matter. Fighting in the shopping mall is inevitable. You are also doing it for your own business. Moreover, they are doing it a bit too much and leaving no room for anything. If you lose this, you will be blamed."

"Mr. Wan is indeed a straightforward person. Gu is deeply impressed and I would like to pay a cup to you." Gu Yuezi was a little worried that they would hold grudges and attack. After hearing this, he relaxed a little and raised his glass with a smile.

"Okay. Don't worry, although my Wan family is not a family, I still have some measures and will not think about taking revenge on my opponents in the mall just because of some trivial matters."

With this guarantee, the atmosphere during the meal became a little warmer. Gu Yuezi took the opportunity to toast frequently and brought his relationship with Wan Lang and others a little closer. He was already good at socializing, and Li Ling helped him talk, and Wan Lang was a good at making friends, so after a few rounds of wine toast each other, the few people really called friends and brothers.

It was not until after three rounds of drinking that Li Ling was slightly indifferent that he asked with a smile: "Brother Wan, I've always been a little puzzled. What are you doing for me this time? Is it really for me to find me?"

"That's true." Wan Lang didn't hide it, and nodded when he looked at Li Ling with a smile.

"This... what can I do? I actually let you come here to meet me?"

"You are very capable. Even my old man praised you very much, saying that you are a great business talent. Just looking at the few ideas you gave for the Gujia Bookstore, you have far surpassed the general thinking methods of many bookstores today, and can force our Wanjia Bookstore to force you to do something. It can be said that they really lost no matter how unfair they."

"Haha, that's the old man Wan's reputation. I'm just using some small means, not worth mentioning."

"Brother Li, you are humble..."

"I dare not, I am four or five years younger than Brother Wan, but I dare not be called brother." "Hey, there is a saying that goes, "No matter how you learn, you are a master, and at least in business, I have many things to learn from you. It is not an exaggeration to call you a master, let alone call yourself brother."

Wan Lang is indeed able to speak, which makes people feel quite comfortable to listen to. Li Ling was a little impressed. No wonder the Wan family could make their business so big. Originally, when he fought with Wan Ai and others, he thought that the Wan family was just like this, but now it seems that he underestimated the foundation of this business family.

Soon, the topic got back again, and Li Ling said curiously: "It's because of this that you came here to see me?"

"In addition to wanting to meet the mall masters who can make my family suffer, I actually have another purpose."

"Oh? But what?"

"I want to ask Brother Li to cooperate with me and follow me to Hengzhou to show my strength." At this point, Wan Lang's eyes flashed with excitement, "To be honest, I, Wan Lang, have never admired anyone except the old man and my brother Hai for many years. But after hearing someone explain the series of business methods in Jiangzhou City, I am very impressed by you. I can see that for you, it is just a test of you. If you Brother Li has great talents, you should go to a broader world to show your strengths, rather than being frustrated in such a small Jiangcheng County."

When he looked at it, even Li Ling's heartbeat was a little faster. But soon, he smiled and shook his head: "Brother Wan, I appreciate the kindness of him. To be honest, if it were earlier last year, I really wished you would be valued, please go to the Mansion City. But now..."

"Brother Li is reluctant to let go of the responsibilities of the county magistrates at the moment?" Wan Lang frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment, "Don't blame me for being straightforward. Your choice is too useless. I know that you have a lot of power in the county magistrate now, but Jiangcheng is only a small place after all, and the county magistrate is strict and you can't let you do your tricks. It's better to resign from your position and go with me to Hengzhou to find another way out.

"If you have any concerns, I can promise you that as long as you go to the capital city, you can casually refer to a store under my name. Everything is done according to your wishes, asking people to give them and money. As long as you can show off, you can give you dividends and give you more freedom, even the shares of the store. It's okay to give you more stores. How about it?"

This series of conditions was really generous. Even Gu Yuezi was moved when he heard it. This was much higher than the reward he could give Li Ling. While the other few Wan Lang's followers lowered their eyes and looked down, their eyes showing a little envy and jealousy.

Li Ling sighed softly, then stood up and came to Wanlang, filling him with a glass of wine: "Brother Wan is so kind, it is false to say that he is not moved. However, please forgive me and still cannot agree."

"Why? Is this county yamen officer really better than a businessman?" Wan Lang really couldn't accept Li Ling's answer. What was he insisting on?

"No, you misunderstood. I didn't reject you because of this."

"What's the reason?"

"Because I am interested in the imperial examination, I will take the county examination in March, then the government examination and the hospital examination... At least for a short period of time, I really have no intention to deal with other things."

"You... do you want the imperial examination?" Wan Lang was really stupid. Li Ling really made the difference in cross-professional careers. It would be fine if you, a book writer, go to do business, but then you will become a county magistrate. Well, this is reasonable. Now you still want to take the imperial examination and become an official?

Why? Do you want to say that a businessman who can’t write books is not a good official?

Seeing his surprised look, Li Ling smiled: "Actually, the right path to the imperial examination has always been the greatest wish of my father and myself. I had no confidence before, but now it is different, so I have to give it a try."

"But you obviously have a great business talent, but now you want to go to be an official, which is a pity." Wan Lang sighed. He dared to say that he actually thought that businessmen are more important than being an official...

The others changed their color slightly because of this, but Li Ling looked up to him. The rebellious words of this era were a manifestation of Wan Lang's persistence in business, which just showed that he was a good businessman.

At this moment, he said, "I wonder what Brother Wan thinks about the merchants and what is his understanding?"

Wan Lang touched his cheek in confusion: "Opinions, understanding? Isn't it just making money? Under the premise of the law, we use our minds to seek the greatest benefit, and it is best to expand our business continuously. However, I think there is no end to the business in this world, so we have to do it selectively, and then make money with us. Don't always think about fighting our opponents, but we should cooperate with them and make money together."

Gu Yuezi listened, and his face suddenly showed admiration. Some of these principles he had thought of, but some were just hazy concepts. Unexpectedly, Wan Lang, who was younger than him, had such an understanding. So everyone's children were different, and they were far from comparable to their own families.

"These statements are certainly correct, but what I want to say is not here." Li Ling said, turning around and sitting back to his position, and then straightening his body. "In my opinion, business is the same as being a human being. It is important to be poor and to be safe alone, and to be prosperous and help the world.

"Businessmen can also be divided into three major realms. Small businesses support their families, big businesses make a fortune, while giant businesses can make a fortune, but giant businesses can make a prosperous country and a strong family!"

"Small businessmen support their families, big businessmen make a fortune, and giant businessmen enrich the country and strong tribes!" Everyone present changed color at the same time, and then repeated Li Ling's statement. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Wan Lang felt excited. After drinking two glasses of wine, he slapped the table and said, "Well, this vision is indeed much better than me!"

Speaking of this, he stood up solemnly and came to Li Ling. There was no trace of the frivolous look on his face. He bowed deeply: "Wan Lang has been taught!"

Li Ling hurriedly bypassed several cases and came up to support him: "Brother Wan doesn't have to do this, I can't afford it."

"You can afford it. Your words finally solved my long-standing doubts. What is a businessman? What else can you do besides making money? I used to be unable to figure it out, but now I understand!" Wan Lang said sincerely. He paused and looked at Li Ling again: "So Brother Li's ambition is to be that giant businessman?"
