Liu Yan whispered to Li Yan, "What exactly does your brother do? Everyone seems to respect him. There's no big boss that he doesn't know. He's just too awesome. "
If she was surprised by the landlord's ferocious behavior in front of them and Li He's ability to mingle in the underworld, then ever since Lu Bo, Su Ming, and other big bosses who often appeared in Zhongguancun in luxurious cars and were polite to Li Yan because of Li He, Liu Yan's imagination about Li He increased. What kind of a person could make so many big bosses bow to him?
Li Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at her. She smiled and said, "What are you trying to do? My brother has a wife. Let me tell you, we're sisters, so you can't act rashly. "
"Aiya, what are you thinking about? I'm just asking out of curiosity. "Liu Yan was scared by Li Yan's gaze, so she answered in a panic," Why? Can't I just ask casually? "
"It's best if you just ask casually. Besides, my brother isn't a casual person." Li Yan then said proudly, "Of course my brother is amazing. You don't know, but when we went back to our hometown, our city and county leaders were all trying to curry favor with him. You haven't seen that scene …"
Li Yan spoke eloquently. Not to mention in her hometown, even here, her brother was quite capable. Not only did he provide her with the capital to start a business, but he also supported her all the way.
If it weren't for her brother's support, even if she had the capital to open a shop, she wouldn't be able to run a stable business. There would definitely be countless psoriasis people coming to cause trouble for her every now and then.
When she started running this shop, there were a few people who didn't know her background who came to collect the so-called "cleaning fee" or other messy names. If she didn't pay, they would smash the shop and stop the business. At that time, she was scared out of her wits. However, such a difficult matter was solved with just a word from Lu Bo, and no one dared to cause trouble anymore.
However, this was not what Liu Yan wanted to hear. She continued to ask, "Then why are Boss Su, Boss Lu, Boss Ping, and that Xu Guo Hua so polite to him? I'm not too sure about the others, but I know Xu Guohua. This area was developed by the Chaozhou guys. He's a big boss with assets of at least hundreds of millions, right? You're like a chick meeting an eagle in front of your brother, shrinking your neck so much that you can't even see it. "
Li Yan smiled and said, "Anyway, my brother is quite rich. I really don't know the details. Except for Xu Guohua, everyone else is my brother's subordinate. Do you think they should be respectful to my brother? As for Xu Guohua, he seems to have some cooperation with him. "
Liu Yan said, "Of course they have money. Otherwise, how could our shop prosper?"
He thought to himself, Even a biological sister wouldn't be so supportive, let alone a cousin!
This was a store with an annual revenue of over ten million!
If he wasn't rich, he wouldn't dare to be so casual!
Moreover, he had to be very rich!
He didn't even care about tens of millions, how rich must he be!
Li Yan suddenly said warily, "Why are you asking so clearly? If you really want to find a boyfriend, I'll get my brother to introduce you to one. There's no one he knows who's bad. "
"It's fine if you don't want to tell me. Forget about the introduction. Ask your brother to keep it for you." Liu Yan shrugged and didn't want to ask anymore.
"You think my good intentions are malicious?!"
The British summer in the Eastern Hemisphere was the most comfortable season for Four. The temperature alone was already very lovely. In all these years in Britain, she had never seen a time when the temperature went over thirty degrees.
Therefore, she especially liked to sit on the lawn and bask in the sun like she did in Singapore. However, after a long time, she had to hide in the shadows in the corner.
Today, she wasn't holding a book in her hand, but a letter, a stack of paper, and a fountain pen. She sat cross-legged and held the pen, shaking her head from time to time. As smart as she was, she didn't know what to write.
Finally, she took a deep breath and put everything back into the small bag next to her.
Since she had already made up her mind, there was no need to do anything unnecessary. It would be nice to give her a surprise when the time came.
That was what she thought.
"Li Bing, do you want to go to the party tonight?" A girl with a cloak ran over and sat cross-legged beside Li Bing.
"No, it's boring. I still have a paper to finish. If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I don't want to join in the fun." Li Bing shook his head. His brother was right. Since she didn't like it, she shouldn't force herself.
"You are so boring. Aren't you afraid of becoming a bookworm every day?" The girl shook her head helplessly. "Then let's go to the movies together? And have dinner together? "
"No, really. I have a date tonight." Li Bing also shook his head.
"Is it that person again? I have seen her in the newspaper. I think she is a Singaporean tycoon. She is really rich. "The girl was familiar with Li Bing, so she naturally knew what kind of connections Li Bing had.
Li Bing nodded. "Yes, she takes good care of me. You know that. I used to see your father's photos in the Hong Kong newspapers. Why are you still envious of her? "
The girl curled her lips. "My dad is an old-fashioned person. He has a garment factory. Initially, he was able to keep it going, but ever since Hong Kong's labor costs have increased, the garment factory has been unable to make ends meet.
I encouraged him to go to the mainland, but he didn't agree.
Later, I suggested him to enter the real estate industry, but he said he didn't understand.
Now that he can't make ends meet, he suddenly realized that he wants to go to the mainland to build a factory. Just like what you said, he will be beaten to death on the beach sooner or later.
Who knows, he will have to rely on himself in the future. "
Four smiled and shook his head. "Don't try to act innocent. Your Luo family is one of the top families in Hong Kong. You are different from a country girl like me. Your father has such a big family business. How can it be broken up so easily?"
"You are a country girl? I can't even be compared to a Filipino maid! I have so many brothers! Why can't it be me! "The girl raised four fingers." I will definitely be a thorn in their side in the future! I really don't know what they will do in the future. That's why I might not even return to Hong Kong. I don't want to worry. "
"That's good. I support you." Four smiled and nodded. She felt that she would not have so many troubles. Her brother's family business would definitely belong to Li Lan and Li Yi in the future.
Whether her brother took care of her financially or not, she only had gratitude in her heart. She did not dare to ask for more.
She was already very satisfied that she had come this far.
Her knowledge, her bearing, and her vision all came from her brother.
"Alright, you go have fun. I'm all alone and have no one to rely on. I'm going to face the wall." The girl stood up. Although the lawn was very clean, she still patted her butt out of habit.
Four was so carefree, but Li He could not avoid the irritating weather.
He was still dressed casually. In a temperature of more than 30 degrees Celsius, his pants and slippers were the standard summer outfit. He was not even willing to wear a shirt. He was topless, holding a watermelon in one hand and a chess piece in the other, playing Go with Old Man Qin.
Halfway through, Old Man Qin threw away the chess piece and said dejectedly, "I'm not playing anymore. It's boring."
"What do you mean? You asked me to play. "Li He felt that he had a chance to win this game, although he had lost more than ten games in a row.
"What's the point of playing Go?" Old Man Qin wanted to find someone who was on par with him. There was no sense of achievement to play with someone like Li He.
"You're good, but don't look for me again." Li He also threw away the chess piece and picked up the palm-leaf fan, trying to drive away the sweat on his forehead.
"Come on, little man, let's play." Old Man Qin shouted to Li Lan, who was practicing handstand under the porch. He wanted to play Go with him.
Li Lan did not like dancing very much, but he had a special liking for martial arts. He did not need anyone to supervise him and would practice by himself every day. Maybe it was because dancing was a joke for boys, but practicing martial arts, he could get repeated praises and praises every time he did a somersault in the air. At such a young age, he knew what glory was. This was glory.
"Go, show your grandpa what you're made of, and let him know how many eyes I have." Li He was not worried that Li Lan would not know how to play Go. After all, Li Lan had studied in the Children's Palace and received guidance from experts such as Monk Pu and Old Man Lee. He had participated in competitions and won awards, so he was much better than a dabbler like him.
For a period of time, he was addicted to Go. This shy kid insisted on playing with Li He. For the sake of his reputation, Li He would definitely not agree.
It would be so embarrassing if the father lost to the son!
Usually, it was He Fang who accompanied him, and He Fang also lost more than he won.
He Fang was different. He was very proud. He specially found the ancient books about Go that Li He had collected and gave them to his son, regardless of whether he could understand them or not.
So, when many antiques went south, only these rare books, a few teapots, and a few sets of furniture were left at home.
Li Lan had been watching from the side. At this time, Old Man Qin called him and got his father's permission. He quickly put his leg down from the wall and almost stepped on the dogo dog that was circling around him.
"Do something for your father." Li He stepped aside for Li Lan and went back to the room to refill the tea.
When he came back after pouring the tea, he couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Old Man Lee stroking his beard and muttering.
But Li Lan was different. Almost every step seemed to be planned, and he grabbed the chess pieces and put the flag down. He was calm and steady.
Old Man Qin looked up and asked Li He, "Who did this kid learn to play from?"
Li He smiled and took a sip of tea, "He learned it from the Children's Palace."
"Bullshit!" Old Man Qin said with hatred, "If his master was this good, he wouldn't stay in the Children's Palace!"
"Then it should be Monk Pu and Old Man Lee."
Old Man Qin pursed his lips, "They are good at other things, but Go? They are far from it! "
Li He said, "That means my son is talented in this area. Are you not convinced that the grandmaster gave him a chance to eat?"
"Nonsense. No matter how talented he is, he still needs a master to guide him. It's normal to start learning Go at the age of four or five, seven or eight, and ten is too late. Look at your son, he is so familiar with it. How many games did he play?
Even if your son started learning at the age of four or five, he would have to play for at least six hours a day to reach this level! Moreover, your son is still in school. How can he reach this level without a good master! "Old Man Qin said as he played.
Li He spread his hands, "That I don't know."
He really didn't know.
"Who did you learn from?" Old Man Qin asked Li Lan.
"From a teacher." Li Lan stared at the chessboard seriously and answered absent-mindedly.
"Which teacher?" Old Man Qin didn't give up.
"It's a teacher." Li Lan didn't know anything.
"Silly boy." Old Man Qin didn't know what to do. He turned to Li He, "Ask your wife. She will know."
"Let's wait for her to come back." Li He walked towards the entrance of the alley. There was still no sign of He Fang.
Although it took a lot of effort to play against Li Lan, Old Man Qin still won. Although he won every game after that, it was getting harder and harder.
"How many games did this kid play? His chess skills are very solid. "Old Man Qin sighed.
Li Lan had lost so many times, but he didn't feel too depressed. He just held his chin with one hand and scratched his head from time to time. He looked very distressed.
"Sigh." Old Man Qin looked at Li Lan and couldn't bear to see him like this. In the end, he let Li Lan win.
"You let me win." Li Lan wasn't that happy.
"Oh, this kid isn't stupid." Old Man Qin didn't expect this kid to be able to see things so clearly at such a young age.
"Go take a shower with grandma. You're all sweaty. We'll continue tomorrow." Li He chased Li Lan away. The weather was so hot that he didn't want to turn on the air conditioner. He was afraid that the two kids at home would be lazy. If they didn't sweat in the summer, they would easily catch a cold. So, it didn't matter if it was a little hot.
It wasn't like they couldn't live without air conditioner.
When Li Lan entered the house, He Fang's bun had already arrived at the alley.
"Master Qin, please let him win. He's bad at chess." She greeted Old Man Qin as soon as she arrived at the door.
"With his level, I'm embarrassed to play against him." Old Man Qin raised his head proudly, "But your son is amazing. He will grow up in another two years. Who did he learn from?"
"I occasionally sent him to Master Pu. He seems to have learned a lot from Master Pu. Then, Master Li also taught him a little."
Old Man Qin waved his hand, "That's not right. I was just saying, I know the level of Master Pu and Li Shubai. They can't teach this kid. "
"I really don't know." He Fang was also at a loss.
"Alright, I'll find out when I have time." Old Man Qin put away the chessboard and left.
He Fang asked excitedly, "Did he win against Master Qin?"
Li He took a sip of tea and teased, "It's broad daylight. What are you dreaming about? If your son had this ability, I would dare to train him to be a national chess player."
"What's so good about being a national chess player? It's more important to let him study hard."
He Fang didn't want his son to be a chess player.
After dinner, Li He walked the Dogo dog around the park and on the road as usual.
"Boss Li." Chen Youli sneaked out from the side.
"What's up?" Li He threw him a cigarette.
"Thank you, thank you." This was the first time he smoked Li He's cigarette!
Chen Youli was overjoyed.
"Come here." Li He shouted to stop the Dogo dog from running around.
"Boss Li He, there's something I don't know if I should say." Chen Youli followed Li He step by step.
"Then don't say it." Li He hated people who didn't finish their sentences the most. This was needless to say.
"Boss Li, I have something to tell you. You have to be careful of Dong Jinbu." Chen Youli finally couldn't help but say it.
"What's his situation?" Li He didn't have any business relationship with Dong Jinbu, but He Fang's little cousin was still working under Dong Jinbu. In this case, Li He had to care about him.
"Dong Jinbu is doing well now." Chen Youli saw that Li He was interested, so he didn't hesitate. "He needs money now, so he doesn't lack it. He also has hundreds of people working under him. He's very popular from top to bottom."
"Is it a good thing to have face?" Li He was puzzled.
"He is not behaving well now. Very behaving badly. I know you hate this kind of people the most, so I have to tell you that if what you said is true, this kind of people will not end well. You have to be careful so that you don't get implicated in the future. "Chen Youli saw Li He lighting up his cigarette and followed suit.
"Tell me, I'm listening."
"He is in real estate, construction, demolition, timber, and opened shopping malls. Recently, he has acquired many state-owned enterprises. You haven't been to the Northeast recently, so you don't know how big his influence is! People call him Boss Dong of the Northeast. Anyone who wants to make a living in the Northeast has to go through his connections. "
"You are Brother Chen of the Northeast. You don't have to be so humble." Li He thought that Chen Youli wanted to take revenge on him.
"No, no." Chen Youli waved his hand. "I am just a nickname. I can't be compared to him. Besides, there are people with the surname Qiao in the Northeast. I can't be compared at all! You don't even know that if you offend these two people in the Northeast, you can forget about making a living. If you are lucky, you will at most lose your money. If you are unlucky, you might even lose your life. "
"Is it that exaggerated?" Li He did not believe it. He had known Dong Jinbu for a long time. This was a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat. Although he had some tricks up his sleeve, he was forced to do so.
"Even the government can't control him. If anyone dares to go against him, he will send people to follow their wives. If they have children, he will send people to keep an eye on their children. If they are not local, he will go to their homes, take a photo, and turn them upside down. With this attitude, who would dare to provoke him? "Chen Youli said so much in one breath without taking a breath.
"Thank you. I will ask about the situation." Li He did not expect Dong Jinbu to be so arrogant, but he could not believe Chen Youli's side of the story.
Chen Youli said, "Then Boss Li, I will leave first?"
"Thank you. Sorry to trouble you." Li He extended his hand to express his gratitude.
"Ah, you are welcome. Boss Li, if you need any help, just give me a call. I will definitely be there." Chen Youli was flattered.
When he saw Li He nod, he walked away happily. When he walked to his car, he waved at Li He.
Li He called Dong Hao, who had been following him, over. "Did you hear what he said?"
"Yes." Dong Hao nodded. "However, Dong Jinbu looks like a good person."
Li He said, "Buy a plane ticket now. We will go to the Northeast tomorrow."
Dong Hao was from the Northeast, so it was best for him to go.
"Okay."
"If Dong Jinbu really doesn't know his place, then find an excuse to bring Fang Quan over." After all, this little cousin was arranged by Li He, so Li He had to take care of him. If not, he would be in trouble with Dong Jinbu in the future, and he would not be able to explain himself to anyone, especially Aunt He, who was not in good health.
"I know what I am doing. Don't worry," Dong Hao replied.
Li He said, "Also, after you are done with your business, you can go home. You don't have to rush back. Your eldest child is on the third day of the New Year, right? As his father, you should worry about him. You can't just ignore him. "
"Yes, I don't have to worry about him." Dong Hao smiled when he mentioned his son.
"You still have to go back. This is a crucial time. It's good to give him some encouragement." Li He thought for a moment and said, "If you are willing to go back to the Northeast, I can arrange something for you. You know, I have a business in the Northeast. You can go back and take care of your child."
"Thank you. I know what I am capable of." Li He's suggestion moved Dong Hao, but he still insisted, "I will follow you."
He was different from people like Zhang Bing and Ding Shiping. On the surface, he had a cold personality and was a conservative person. However, he was ambitious and had his own plans. If he really followed Li He's arrangements, it would be fine if he did well. However, if he did badly, he had seen how Li He treated Lil Wei, Pinsong, and the others. He was scolded like a son of a b * tch!
If he really messed up, it would not be easy for him to return to Li He's side. Every carrot has its own hole. By that time, someone would have replaced his position.
Even if he really came back shamelessly, his impression in Li He's mind would be much worse.
He was very clear about his specialty. He would eat as much as he could eat, and he would get paid as much as he could.
Moreover, Li He's salary was not high, but it was enough to make him follow him wholeheartedly.
"Do as you see fit. If you want to go out and train, just let me know. I won't force you." From Ding Shiping to Zhang Bing, Li He felt it was time to give them a chance.
"This is the only thing I am suitable for. I don't know how to do anything else." Dong Jin did not change his decision.
"Then go ahead." Li He respected his decision.
When he got home, the two children were playing on the bamboo bed in the yard. However, it was only Li Yi's will. Li Lan obviously did not want to play with his sister. When his sister grabbed his hair, he wanted to push her away, but he did not dare to do so. He almost cried.
"You only know how to bully your brother." He Fang helplessly carried her daughter away and scolded her son, "Don't cry for no reason."
She had a headache.
Her son was more like a girl than a girl.
She suspected that it was because her son had learned to dance and spent too much time with the little girl.
"Has Fang Quan contacted you recently?" Li He rubbed Li Lan's head in pain. He had no choice but to have such a lawless and reckless sister!
He Fang rubbed her daughter's rash powder as she said, "No, but I called my aunt the day before yesterday. She said Xiao Quan is doing well. He even sent a lot of money home to prepare to build a new house. Did something happen? That Dong Jinbu guy over there, is it inconvenient for him? Should I call Fang Quan over and let him work in the radiator factory? "
