Chapter 1844: The Lin Group’s Real Estate Construction Company Was Exposed
The others also looked at Lin Yuelan.
The Empress also found it strange. She asked,” Princess, who are these people?”
When the imperial grandson saw this, he was secretly delighted. He sneered and thought to himself, ‘I want to see what kind of explanation you can give the Emperor and Empress today!’
Then, he pretended to be surprised and said,” That’s right, Princess Guguo. What does this person mean? From what you said before, they are craftsmen and workers of the Lin Group’s housing construction company. But why are they asking you for justice?”
“No, no, we didn’t ask for justice from Princess Gu!” Master Hu quickly came out and said. “I… We were just blinded by greed, so we’re spouting nonsense.”
When Second Brother Hu saw Master Hu like this, he couldn’t hold back his anger. He shouted loudly,” Big Brother, you’re muddleheaded. We’re not talking nonsense. We… Wu wu…”
Before he could finish his words, his other three brothers pulled him back and covered his mouth.
The imperial grandson saw that his plan was about to succeed. How could it be ruined by a few ants?
However, since these people had already appeared, it would not be so easy to let them off.
He winked at someone.
At this moment, Prince Ping stood out and sternly reprimanded,” How dare you! How can you be presumptuous in front of His Majesty! You are the ones who said you want justice, and you are the ones who said you have been blinded by greed. Do you really think that there is a market in front of the Crown Prince’s Mansion? You simply didn’t know what to say! Do you know that lying to the Ruler will result in death?”
Master Hu and the others paled a little after being scolded like this. Their panic was obvious.
“Your Majesty, please forgive me! We know our mistakes!” Master Hu and the others hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
At this time, the other three had no choice but to let go of Second Brother Hu.
Prince Ping was very satisfied with the result.
This time, he became slightly friendly and said,” Tell me, what injustice do you have? Don’t worry, His Majesty is here. He will definitely seek justice for you, no matter who that person is!”
His words obviously referred to Lin Yuelan.
Master Hu’s face was pale, and his expression was flustered and nervous. He opened his mouth and said, “I… Commoner…”
“Let him speak!” Prince Ping pointed at Second Brother Hu.
In the past few years, Second Brother Hu had seen many big shots. From a small-town mason to the famous master craftsman of the Lin family in the country, he had also changed from a timid little person to a self-righteous, arrogant, and condescending big shot.
After being complimented by others all these years, he really thought that he was the only one in the world who knew how to build a house.
Therefore, these people all asked him to build a house, even if he was a noble in the capital.
The development of the Lin Group’s real estate company was also getting better and better. Apart from paying the old workers their salaries, they also received 20% of the company’s shares as dividends for the five Hu brothers, who had been following Lin Yuelan since the beginning.
However, she did not expect that the more she raised them, the bigger their appetite became.
Especially Second Brother Hu. Ever since he tasted the sweetness of it, he had always wanted to be independent.
Although Second Brother Hu didn’t express his thoughts, his face showed it.
That was why Lin Yuelan reminded Lin Jinmei to pay more attention when she returned to the Lin Group for a meeting.
However, Lin Yuelan was disappointed that these people had betrayed her.
Second Brother Hu was first stunned when he was called out, but then he reacted and was secretly happy.
The person who came to look for him had promised that if he did this well, not only would he be given the Lin Group’s housing construction company, but he would also be given a high position. He would truly enjoy the good life of a beautiful wife and concubines.
Second Brother Hu knelt down and said,” Your Highness, we are a few craftsmen from the Lin Group’s house construction company. My name is Second Brother Hu, and next to me is my big brother, Boss Hu. We are here today to ask for our wages from the princess of Guguo.”
Prince Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in confusion,” Asking for wages? Why did you ask the princess of Guguo for this wage?”
