Qi Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Li, please give me some specific suggestions so that I can work on it."
She still couldn't figure out the relationship between Li Lan and Gao Siqi. If their relationship was ordinary but he took good care of her, she would be doing something unnecessary and unflattering. If their relationship was good but she did something ordinary, it would be unforgivable. Li Lan might even blame her.
Li Lan said, "She and I are really just ordinary friends. Let me put it this way. You can say that I'm from the same hometown. I just want to take care of her. After all, it's not easy for a girl. Do you understand? "
Qi Yue rolled her eyes. Since Li Lan had already said it directly, she didn't hide it anymore. She said directly, "I have an idea. I don't know if you agree or not."
Li Lan said, "Tell me, as long as it's suitable for her."
Apart from his father, it was easy for him to make arrangements for her. After all, his family had a large social circle and there were many relatives. He could find a place to settle her, but it might not be suitable for Gao Siqi.
Qi Yue said, "Actually, Mr. Li, I'll tell you the truth. I have my own selfish motives.
I have a friend who was my university classmate when I was studying in England. She returned to China a year earlier than me and started a cosmetics company. She has been in business for about three years. I know the situation of her company very well. The products and channels are very good. Last year, the revenue was 22 million and the net profit was more than 4 million. However, because she offended someone, the bank suddenly withdrew the loan and there is a problem with the capital chain.
She is in a dilemma. From a personal point of view, I can't help her. If you invest here, you can solve her problem and also give Miss Gao a place to go.
If you invest in Miss Gao's name, she can enjoy the dividends and learn at the same time. In terms of specific matters, my friend is very reliable. She can also help Miss Gao grow. "
Li Lan said, "That's a good idea. I'll ask Gao Siqi for her opinion first. If she says it's okay, then there's no problem."
Actually, he really couldn't say anything against it. Gao Siqi lacked experience and money alone wouldn't be of much use. It would be best if someone could help her.
Qi Yue said, "Mr. Li, if you are worried, I can ask my friend to come and meet you."
Li Lan shook his head. "No, I'll tell Gao Siqi first. If she's interested, you guys can meet up and handle it yourselves. I won't interfere. How much does your friend need? "
Qi Yue said, "If you only want to revitalize the company, about five to six million yuan would be enough. If you want to expand the company, thirty to forty million yuan would be the best."
Li Lan said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
He flipped through the company's information. Most of the information was of interest to him, and he had a general understanding of the company as a whole.
When it was almost noon, Wen Qibai walked into the office again, and Li Lan accompanied them to a restaurant for lunch.
The weather was hot. Li Lan entered the restaurant as soon as he got out of the car. He didn't look at the entrance, but when he saw the decoration style, he felt that it was very familiar. When he got the menu, he realized that it was the Four Seas Hotel.
As long as it wasn't the restaurant on Huaihai Road, he didn't have to worry about being recognized. Therefore, he sat on the chair with peace of mind and gave the menu to Qi Yue. "You order. I only want a Steamed Pork with Rice Flour and a Braised Meatball in Brown Sauce."
He had eaten since he was a child, and he could memorize the menu of the Four Seas Hotel.
Qi Yue took the menu and ordered five or six dishes in a row. Li Lan quickly stopped her again. "There are only three of us. How can we eat so much? It'll be a waste if we don't finish it. Just enough is enough."
Wen Qibai said, "Mr. Li, don't worry. If we can't finish it, I'll take it away and heat it up in the microwave. We can still continue eating."
Qi Yue put down the menu and said, "Then we'll start with this. We'll add more if we don't have enough food."
Li Lan picked up the beer and was about to pour Wen Qibai a glass, but Wen Qibai quickly got up and poured a glass of beer for Li Lan instead. He then filled his own glass.
He raised his glass and said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. Yesterday's dinner was too simple, so I didn't play the host. Let me toast you."
Li Lan didn't move his glass. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, if you don't sit down, I won't dare to raise my glass. According to age, you're about the same age as my father."
"How would I dare to compare myself to your father? When President Li came to Pujiang for an inspection, I was lucky enough to meet him once while following behind Secretary Qi. Although we only exchanged a few words, I learned a lot from him.
At that time, everyone was talking about the internet bubble, but Mr. Li said that the internet is like beer. It's best to drink when there are bubbles. " Wen Qibai was still standing and said emotionally, "Our company's slogan was also written by Mr. Li himself. 'We don't predict the future, we create it.'"
Qi Yue said, "I haven't had the chance to meet Uncle Li yet."
Li Lan smiled and said, "You can just tell Uncle Qi. It's not a big deal."
Qi Yue said, "My dad is probably afraid that I'll embarrass him, so he doesn't dare to bring me along."
As he said that, he laughed.
Wen Qibai picked up his glass again. Although he sat down, his body was still bent, and his butt did not touch the chair.
Li Lan had no choice but to clink glasses with him.
After three rounds of drinking, Wen Qibai said, "Mr. Li, President Li's business is very big. Naturally, you won't be interested in a small company like ours. However, I have a suggestion. You're a computer science major, so joining the company to manage the overall situation isn't considered crossing the line. At least half a year, at most a year, you'll be able to figure out the business rules clearly. It'll be beneficial for you to manage the China Recycling Group in the future."
Li Lan took the cigarette that he handed over, lit it, and blew out a smoke ring. He said slowly, "I'm still young, and I have a lot to learn. For the time being, I'll take a look around and interact more with society. Thank you for your suggestion. I'll think about it. "
Wen Qibai saw that Li Lan was really not interested, and he knew that it was useless to say anything more. So, he changed the topic. "Mr. Li, when we bought the house yesterday, from your tone, it seems like you think that the house prices will still rise?"
Li Lan smiled. "If a first-tier city dares to lift the purchase restriction, it'll make you doubt your life. In the future, more and more cities will implement the purchase restriction policy. With the monetary and banking policies, there will be a wave of downward movements in the next eight to ten years. However, it'll be easy for it to continue to rise.
In any case, his uncle had said something very exaggerated. As long as Jingzhou does not have the purchase restriction in the future, it will become the fourth province in the northeast.
Wen Qibai nodded. "That makes sense."
Li Lan's words might not have much value to him, but his firm attitude was an extension of Second Brother Li's point of view. Hence, Wen Qibai attached great importance to it.
Wen Qibai said, "The year before last, our son got married. He couldn't live in his own house, and it was imperative for him to buy a house. He wanted to buy a house closer to us so that we can take care of our children in the future. In the end, when we looked at the house prices in the inner ring, any house in the inner ring costs more than ten million.
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. My position is not low, and my salary is not bad. I've received dividends a few times, and my income is considered average. However, I really can't afford tens of millions in cash.
When the company was just starting out, Secretary Qi helped us take care of it. We have shares in the holding company under Liuliu Technology. Later, we had no choice but to sell some shares and buy a new house in a hurry. "
Li Lan smiled and said, "Don't you know Auntie Wu Shuping?"
With this real estate mogul around, they could choose any house in Pudong or Puxi.
Wen Qibai smiled and said, "President Li, you think too highly of me. It's already good enough for me to know President Wu. It's not right to trouble her with such trivial matters."
Li Lan only listened to 30% of what he said. As for the 70% that was false, he could not be bothered.
Li Lan raised his glass and said, "I'll toast the two of you. Thank you for taking care of me."
"Don't be so distant." Qi Yue smiled.
"Cheers." Wen Qibai raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
After the meal, Qi Yue rushed to pay the bill.
Li Lan sat in the office for a while. The air conditioner was a little low, so he simply turned it off. He wanted to take a nap, but he did not have the habit of taking a nap.
He was not the only one who did not have the habit of taking a nap. His whole family did not have the habit of taking a nap.
Qi Yue said, "There's billiards in the company's activity room. Shall we go and play a few rounds?"
Li Lan waved his hand and said, "Thank you. I'll be tired after drinking a little. Let's rest. You really don't have to worry about me. You can do your own things. "
After Qi Yue left, he simply called Jiang Xingyuan.
"Hello, brother." It was still that rough voice on the other end of the phone.
Li Lan said, "Where are you?"
"What about you?" Jiang Xingyuan asked.
"Zhang Jiang."
"F * ck!"
"Are you okay?" Li Lan could hear the ear-piercing sound of a sudden brake.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I just braked a little too hard," Jiang Xingyuan said happily. "Give me the address. I'll pick you up. It's not far from you."
"You're not busy now?" Li Lan asked.
"Busy my * ss," Jiang Xingyuan said. "Wait. I'll be there in ten minutes. Get ready to go downstairs."
Li Lan hung up the phone, drank the water in the glass, went to the toilet, and then left the office.
As soon as he went out, he met a little girl. The little girl asked, "Mr. Li, do you need any help?"
"Oh, tell Miss Qi that I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Li Lan knew this girl. She was Wen Qibai's secretary. When he entered the door in the morning, she was the one who poured him tea.
"Hello, Mr. Li …" Before the girl could finish speaking, Li Lan had already walked to the elevator. She had no choice but to rush into Wen Qibai's office in a hurry.
Wen Qibai chased him downstairs. Li Lan was squatting under a camphor tree by the road to hide from the sun.
Panting, he jogged over and greeted, "Mr. Li."
Li Lan said, "Sorry, I thought you were all busy, so I didn't tell you. I came down by myself. I have a classmate here to pick me up. Let's get together. Thank you for your hospitality. "
Wen Qibai said, "Then, Boss Li, I won't say much. If there's anything, just call me. I'll be there anytime."
"Sure." Li Lan took the initiative to reach out his hand.
"Goodbye, Boss Li." The phone in Li Lan's hand rang. Wen Qibai didn't say anything more and sent Li Lan to a shabby van.
As soon as Li Lan got in the car, Jiang Xingyuan opened his arms and was about to give Li Lan a bear hug. The car suddenly shook and Li Lan quickly blocked his hand. "Hey, hey, can you develop a good habit of parking in neutral and pulling the handbrake? Even if you don't want to live, I still want to live to a ripe old age."
"Tsk, how can you survive if you're so timid?" Although Jiang Xingyuan's words were tough, he still obediently parked in neutral and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"
Li Lan said, "Someone invited me to dinner, so I came to freeload. What about you? What a coincidence, you're here too? "
A car came from behind and Jiang Xingyuan couldn't stay any longer. As he drove, he said, "My job every day is to run around the supermarket and talk about everything. I'm as tired as a dog.
To tell you the truth, I'm a little regretful coming here. If I were in my hometown, I would still have a bit of a reputation. Plus, with my father's name, I can go anywhere. Who knows me here? "
After saying that, he sighed.
Li Lan deliberately didn't answer him and just asked, "Where are we going now?"
Jiang Xingyuan said, "To the place where I live."
The two of them talked along the way. After passing through high-rise buildings and beautiful neighborhoods, they entered a remote village road. In front of them were houses of different heights.
Li Lan asked impatiently, "Didn't you say Middle Road Wu?"
Jiang Xingyuan said, "I was afraid that you wouldn't know, so I told you the main road. It's not far from Middle Road Wu."
Finally, the car stopped in front of a two-story building. Li Lan could tell at a glance that it was a farmer's house.
In front of the house was a shed made of asbestos tiles. A yellow Shiba Inu jumped out of the shed and jumped on Jiang Xingyuan, its two legs on his chest.
Li Lan said, "You're really something. You even brought your dog?"
When he was in his junior year, Jiang Xingyuan began to rent a house outside the school. Li Lan often went there to play, so he had seen this Shiba Inu more than once or twice.
"There are a lot of trucks coming here, so I asked them to bring it to me." Jiang Xingyuan stroked the dog's fur, pushed the dog away, took out the key, opened the door, and said with a smile, "If it wasn't for this dog, I wouldn't live in this kind of house."
He was a typical sh * t-shoveling officer.
Li Lan said, "I have to give it to you. However, a spoiled young master like you should come out to exercise and have a taste of life."
He had been washing his own clothes since middle school, but Jiang Xingyuan still didn't know how to wash his clothes until he went to university. The whole bathroom was full of bubbles, and the windows were open. When the wind blew, the bubbles floated all over the corridor. For a moment, he became the laughing stock of the whole class.
"You're not much better than me." Jiang Xingyuan poured a glass of water from the water dispenser and drank his fill. Then, he found a disposable cup and poured a glass for Li Lan. "I'm so thirsty."
Li Lan asked, "You live alone?"
"Then how many people are you thinking of?" Jiang Xingyuan felt that one glass of water was not enough to quench his thirst, so he poured himself another. After drinking it, he said, "Why don't you accompany me? I'll protect you. "
Li Lan waved his hand. "With you? I can't afford to offend you. Hurry up and find a girl. I won't mix with you even if you beat me to death. "
