Fortunately, there was a lot of space in front of his new house and there were no other cars parked there.
After parking the car, he jumped out and clapped his hands at the corgi who was looking around.
The corgi was timid. It was eager but did not dare to jump.
Seeing that Li Lan was about to leave, it rolled down. Li Lan did not dare to let it jump. He was afraid that its short legs would break, so he hurriedly picked it up and put it on the ground.
In the entire community, only the houses and greenery were decent. The wall near the river had not been built yet. He could walk out of the community with just a lift of his foot. The north and south gates of the community were useless.
The river in front of the gate was called Jiao River. It was an important waterway from Lake Tai to the sea. The river was much wider than Li Lan had imagined. The ripples made him feel that the house was worth it.
There were many people fishing under the willow tree. Li Lan walked along the river. To his surprise, the corgi followed him closely and he almost stepped on it.
He squatted down and patted its pale yellow head. "I won't treat you badly in the future. I've decided. I'll call you Lion King from now on."
In that instant, he had even decided on a name for it.
After taking a few steps, he went back the way he came. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Qi Yue standing at the door.
Qi Yue said, "I saw your car coming back but I didn't see you. I thought you went somewhere."
She picked up the corgi behind Li Lan and smiled. "I was wondering what you were doing. You went to buy a dog. It's so fluffy and cute. Have you named it? "
Li Lan said, "Lion King, can it do it?"
Qi Yue said bluntly, "Although it's tacky, it sounds domineering."
The living room was some distance from the kitchen but Li Lan smelled a familiar fragrance the moment he entered. He did not have to guess to know that it was pork vermicelli.
The two women had some tricks up their sleeves. They actually made eight dishes and Li Lan was shocked when they brought them out.
Li Lan smiled. "It's fine. It's fine as long as it's the same. Otherwise, it'll be a waste. We can't eat so much."
Qi Yue said, "You think too highly of me. I don't have the ability to make so many dishes. They were all made by Gao Siqi. She's very capable."
Li Lan opened a can of beer and placed a bottle in front of each of them. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. Have a bottle each."
The two women didn't refuse. They held the glass in one hand and poured the beer in the other.
Li Lan scooped a piece of meat from the vermicelli, tasted it, and smiled. "I didn't expect you to be a chef."
These words were naturally directed at Gao Siqi.
Gao Siqi clinked glasses with Qi Yue and took a sip. Then, she smiled and said, "My mom used to make it a lot. Later on, I learned how to make it. Anyway, I can't say that it tastes great, but at least it's good enough to eat."
After dinner, Qi Yue wanted to leave.
Li Lan said, "There are many empty houses. Why don't we make do for the night? It's so late now, and this place is remote, so it's not easy to get a taxi. Anyway, I'm going to the company tomorrow. We can go together. "
Picking up her bag, Qi Yue smiled and said, "No, I have to go back tonight. I'm meeting up with a friend, and we can get together again. The nightlife here has just begun at six. Don't worry, I've already sent someone to pick you up. "
Before she finished speaking, the phone in her hand rang. She picked it up and said, "Wait for me at the entrance. I'll be there soon."
Seeing that, Li Lan didn't insist. He smiled and said, "Be careful on the way."
Seeing that he was going to send her off, Qi Yue hurriedly said, "Let's go. You've drunk, so hurry up and rest. Bye."
Leo King followed behind him, and he almost stepped on him. Pressing his little head, he said, "Don't follow me so closely. I don't want you to come in on the first day and then light incense for you on the second."
The air conditioner in the living room was a little low, and he felt uncomfortable all over, so he simply turned it off. Then, he found a small bowl, put some dog food in it, added some water, and used it as Leo King's rice bowl.
Just as he was about to play with his phone, a call came in.
"Little Lan, I heard that you're in Pujiang?" A very rough and loud voice was on the phone.
"Yo, Boss Jiang, what can I do for you? I'm in Songjiang. How did you know that I'm here? "Li Lan was happy when he heard the voice. It was the big brother in their dormitory, Jiang Xingyuan.
When he entered university, the first impression that Jiang Xingyuan gave him was that he was a country bumpkin. Who would go to school with a woven bag of steamed buns and green onions!
He even thought that it was really not easy for kids in the countryside.
Later on, the impression that he gave him was that he was rich.
Jiang Xingyuan's father ran a company in Ludong that specialized in the production of xylitol. It was said that it was doing very well and was ranked in the top five in the world.
Li Lan then remembered Fu Dahai and Fu Wang. He smiled and said, "Your Ludong has been developing well these years."
Jiang Xingyuan said proudly, "Our Ludong has been developing well. We're in the top two or three in the country. We even got first in the past."
"You're bragging." In Li Lan's impression, Ludong should be a very poor place, even though he had seen many rich people from Ludong.
Jiang Xingyuan immediately panicked. He pulled Li Lan, turned on the computer, and showed Li Lan the data he found. He said angrily, "We don't just have Lanxiang! You can search all you want. There isn't a single poor county in Ludong! Look at East Guangdong and Zhejiang. There are still many areas that haven't gotten rid of the label of poor counties! "
"You're really …" Li Lan laughed. He didn't know why he had the illusion that Ludong was very poor. He could only helplessly pat Jiang Xingyuan's shoulder. "Next time, eat less pancakes and onions."
Thinking of the past, he smiled unkindly again.
Jiang Xingyuan said, "I heard it from Bai Xuefeng. I heard that you helped him make a fortune. Why didn't you come and take care of your brother?"
Li Lan asked, "Why are you in Pu Jiang?"
Jiang Xingyuan said, "Don't mention it. My father insisted that I start from the bottom. Every day, I drive a broken van and talk nonsense with the buyers of the supermarkets. It's so infuriating."
Li Lan asked, "Did you go to sell chewing gum?"
Jiang Xingyuan said, "Of course. It's also my own fault. Two years ago, I fooled around and suggested to my father to make chewing gum. Anyway, there's no difference between making xylitol and chewing gum at home. In the end, he really did it.
Now we've lost tens of millions. After all, we've never been in the end market of supermarkets and we don't know anything about advertising and marketing. "
Li Lan didn't continue to listen to him and hurriedly interrupted, "Where are you now? Tomorrow? "
"Of course! Of course! " Jiang Xingyuan said firmly, "You're in Songjiang, right? Come over tomorrow. I'm at Wuzhong Road."
Li Lan said, "I'm not sure where you're talking about. Send me the address and I'll find a map. See you tomorrow afternoon at five o 'clock. "
After hanging up, he saw Qi Yue sitting on the sofa with her brows furrowed. She seemed to have something on her mind.
Qi Yue saw him coming over and moved further into the sofa. She smiled and said, "Sit here."
Li Lan asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
Gao Siqi shook her head and said softly, "Nothing."
"Really?" Li Lan didn't believe her.
Gao Siqi forced a smile and said, "Really, nothing."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Lan didn't ask anymore.
After taking a shower, he laid on the bed. Before he could sleep well the next day, he was woken up by a barking dog.
The sky had just turned white and it wasn't bright yet.
"Stop barking." Li Lan was annoyed by Leo King. He rubbed his eyes and got out of bed. He opened the living room door and pointed outside. He said to Corgi, "Go out yourself."
Sure enough, Corgi ran outside angrily.
Li Lan continued to run back to bed. Just as he fell asleep in a daze, he was woken up by the honking of a car. Qi Yue was peeking into his room.
Qi Yue said, "You're so careless. You don't even close the door when you sleep at night?"
Li Lan sat up and leaned against the headboard. He pouted at Corgi who was curled up on his slippers. "With this guy around, you don't have to count on sleeping. He woke me up early in the morning. I opened the door and let him out."
Qi Yue asked, "Where's Miss Gao?"
Li Lan said, "Upstairs. I think she hasn't woken up yet."
Qi Yue said, "Oh, I was wondering."
