He could roughly guess what Lin Yi was going to talk to him about. What a big deal it was. Even the core members of the family, he didn't dare to reveal it easily. Lin Yi actually let a maid listen?
As for what Lin Yi said about using Cheng Shuang'er, he naturally disagreed.
The only explanation is that Lin Yi fell in love with this maid and planned to take her into his house.
Little did he know that what Lin Yi said was true.
Cheng Shuang'er's previous performance has verified that she is unusual, which is enough to prove that Si Nanjie's evaluation of her is not a low-level bug.
In other words, this woman will be on the same level as King Qin in the destined future!
If such a potential person is only used to manage a rules design institute, it will obviously be overqualified.
With Lin Yi's temperament, he just doesn't need it. Since he chooses to use it, he will definitely make the best use of his talents and people.
What's more, right now he is short of people around him.
If Cheng Shuang'er can really grow up quickly, Lin Yi will never be stingy about giving him a platform and an opportunity.
As for where she can go in the end, it depends on her own destiny.
The three of them entered the study room.
Li Zhulong brewed a pot of precious spiritual tea with his own hands and poured a cup for Lin Yi. For Lin Yi's sake, he poured another cup for Cheng Shuang'er, which made Cheng Shuang'er a little flattered.
The difference in status between them was so complete that even in her dreams, she never dared to expect such treatment.
Cheng Shuang'er couldn't help but glance at Lin Yi gratefully.
All of this was brought to her by Lin Yi.
"The tea is good. The owner of the Li family is indeed a tasteful person."
Lin Yi took a sip, and the next sentence shocked Li Zhulong: "Now that the position of Taifu is vacant, I wonder if the Li family master is interested?"
"..."
Li Zhulong was stunned and murmured: "Master Lin, aren't you joking?"
Although he has already made some guesses about this, no matter how courageous he is, he can only try to manipulate it and get a piece of the pie, and he does not dare to expect the position of the Imperial Tutor!
I never expected that Lin Yi would be so shocking when he opened his mouth.
Cheng Shuang'er also subconsciously covered his mouth, but then his eyes became brighter.
Lin Yi saw this scene in his eyes and became convinced.
Perhaps even Cheng Shuang'er herself didn't notice that she was far more involved and excited than ordinary girls about such important events related to the power struggle at the top.
Lin Yi didn't answer and just drank tea by himself, letting the two of them digest the shock in their hearts.
After a while, Li Zhulong finally came to his senses and apologized with a wry smile: "I lost my composure and made Master Lin laugh."
Lin Yi put down the tea cup and said with a faint smile: "The Li family master must think that I am exaggerating at this moment. Don't rush to deny it. If it were me, I would also think it is a fantasy."
"After all, why am I, the head of the Security Review Department, involved in personnel appointments at the level of Sangong, right?"
Li Zhulong said sternly: "To be honest, Mr. Lin, if it were someone else who said this, I really wouldn't believe it. But if this comes from Mr. Lin's mouth, I have no choice but to believe it. After all, you personally removed Xiao Mang from the position of Grand Tutor."
People who pull up and down.”
"Coupled with the emperor's trust in you, Mr. Lin really has the say in this matter."
Lin Yi nodded slightly: "The head of the Li family is indeed a sensible person. It will be much easier to talk to sensible people."
Li Zhulong then asked doubtfully: "But I'm sorry to tell you one thing, why would Mr. Lin take a fancy to the superior?"
Although after what happened before, we already have interests related to each other, we can barely be regarded as a community of interests.
But the problem is, this has an unpleasant past after all.
Lin Yi replied seriously: "I said, the head of the Li family is a sensible person."
Li Zhulong was speechless, then laughed and said: "It is my honor to be able to catch the eyes of Master Lin."
He naturally knows and understands what people mean.
The so-called understanding person means that he always understands his position, can understand the importance of things, and can make the wisest choices at any time, and will not ruin his own good situation because of a delusion or emotion.
Combined with his previous performance, at least on this point, Li Zhulong can indeed bear Lin Yi's evaluation.
And this is the key reason why Lin Yi chose him.
There are smart people everywhere in this world, but there are very few people who truly understand.
Lin Yi continued: "The Li family of Fengtian Prefecture has many years of experience. Including you, the head of the Li family, you have the experience of serving as officials in the imperial court. If I remember correctly, you, the head of the Li family, have been an official in the imperial court before?"
The Shaofu is in charge of financial power and is one of the most powerful positions among the three princes.
Li Zhulong smiled bitterly and said: "That happened many years ago. After the rise of Prince Qin's palace, I, the young master, had no choice but to step aside."
Speaking of which, he was also a veteran of the previous dynasty and was highly valued by the emperor of the previous generation.
The success of the Li family in Fengtian Prefecture today is closely related to his position as the young master.
It's a pity that in the face of the power of Prince Qin's Palace, even the Li family of Fengtian Palace can only stand aside obediently.
After all, it is impossible for Prince Qin's Palace to give up such a key position as the Young Mansion to others.
Lin Yi nodded and said: "Since you have such qualifications and the emperor's support, you are qualified to join the competition for the position of Taifu, and you will have a chance to win. I wonder if the Li family is interested?"
Li Zhulong's heart was pounding.
What does it mean to be interested? He is so interested!
Even though the Li family of Fengtian Mansion is still a top force now, ranking first among the seven princes' palaces, compared to when he was in charge of the Shaofu, the overall momentum is still far behind.
If he could sit in such a high position as Taifu, it would be a huge boost to the Li family of Fengtian Mansion.
As long as the operation is done well in the future, it is entirely possible for the entire family to reach a higher level and achieve unprecedented success!
This is his lifelong wish.
However, despite his heartbeat, Li Zhulong did not lose his mind and said hesitantly: "As far as I know, the position of the three princes needs to be recommended by the seven kings. If the seven kings cannot nod, even with the support of the emperor, there will be little hope, right?"
Lin Yi glanced at him: "The minority obeys the majority. We don't need all the seven kings to support us, as long as more than half of them support it. Isn't it possible that the Li family leader doesn't have confidence?"
Li Zhulong thought about it for a moment, and then his eyes widened.
He sees the relationship between Lin Yi and King Zhao clearly than anyone else. They are a complete community of interests, and they wear the same pants.
He also vaguely heard about Lin Yi's relationship with several other Seven Kings.
Don't forget, the Li family of Fengtian Mansion itself is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it also has a lot of interest exchanges with the seven princes' palaces.
