He moved a chair and sat at the door with Leo's head resting on his leg. He smiled and took out his phone. He opened QQ and saw an avatar named Gale Kill flashing around.
It was sent by his uncle Li Kuo's son, Li Bing.
"Brother …"
"Brother?"
"My dear brother, are you there?"
"It's urgent! Dear brother, please show yourself. "
“....”
There were more than ten messages and he didn't have time to read them one by one.
He replied, "What?"
The other party's avatar was gray and he thought he was offline. He didn't expect his phone to ring as soon as he sent the message.
"It's really my dear brother, are you there?"
"I'm so worried, you didn't even reply to my messages!"
He sent two messages in a row.
"Are you complaining?" Li Lan replied.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I have something to discuss with you. "Li Bing replied quickly.
Li Lan didn't need to hear to know what it was about. It was nothing more than borrowing game accounts. Ever since the real-name system was implemented, no matter which server Li Bing played in, that server would instantly become a ghost zone.
This was obviously the work of Li Lao Er.
Li Bing was so addicted to the game that the anti-addiction system couldn't stop him anymore.
Li Kuo found Li Lao Er and he gave him orders.
From then on, Li Bing's game difficulty became hell mode. No matter how cool his skills were, he couldn't kill the monsters, couldn't form a team, no PK targets, no gang, and couldn't experience the fun of the game at all.
No matter how dumb he was, as time went by, he understood something.
Without a choice, he could only borrow his classmates' accounts. However, the end result was the same. Because of him, his classmates' accounts became useless.
His classmates thought he did something to their accounts. Which was more important, the game or friendship?
Of course it was the game.
Therefore, the friendship boat capsized and no one was willing to lend him their accounts anymore.
He borrowed so many accounts, but the only one that didn't have any problems was his brother Li Lan's!
Therefore, if he wanted to play the game, he could only beg his brother Li Lan. As for his father and uncle Li Lao Er, he didn't even consider them. It was a pipe dream to get any benefits from them.
Li Lan replied, "Today isn't a rest day, why are you playing? Instead of going to class, you're still playing with your phone. I'll skin you alive. "
"Brother, it's summer vacation!" Then, she put up an emoji of covering her face and crying.
Since graduation, Li Lan didn't pay much attention to the time. Waking up early and going to bed late had become his daily routine. Whether it was a weekday or a weekend, it had nothing to do with him.
"You've finished your summer homework. You're so addicted to the internet that your dad didn't send you to electrotherapy. You should restrain yourself and focus more on your studies."
"Brother, my dear brother, can't you hope for something better from me?"
Before Li Lan could reply to the message, he received another one.
"It's just a game. I don't play it every day. Don't worry, I'll only play for an hour. I'm outside now. Don't worry, my dad won't know."
Li Lan was soft-hearted. In fact, he felt a little sympathy for Li Bing. After all, his uncle was not cultured and was inflexible when it came to taking care of children. He did not understand the principle of a proper balance between work and rest. Therefore, he replied, "The password is the middle eight digits of the phone number. I'll change the password in two hours."
After replying, she put the phone on the table and ignored what Li Bing said.
After drinking a cup of tea, she went to the toilet and finally felt much better.
She closed the door and threw Leo into the car. She drove out to buy a fishing rod and some bait.
A man and a dog hid under the big willow tree to fish.
After more than three hours, the sun was getting hotter and hotter. Li Lan only caught one Crucian Carp. It was not edible, nor could he keep it, so he threw it back into the river and went home.
Qi Yue's car was parked at the door. Li Lan knew that they were back.
Qi Yue stood at the door and said, "How did it go?"
Li Lan put the fishing rod vertically at the door and smiled. "My fishing skills are terrible. They pulled one fish at a time. I didn't catch anything."
Qi Yue looked at the bucket. It was empty. She tactfully stopped asking and said, "I went to visit my classmate's company with Miss Gao. Miss Gao probably has some concerns and needs to think about it."
Li Lan said, "What did your classmate say? He said it's fine, and I'll decide on my side. "
Qi Yue said, "There's no reason for her not to agree if there's money to extend her life. She's looking for investments everywhere, but it's very difficult. People these days are very impetuous. They're willing to invest in the stock market, real estate, and the Internet. The money they make is better than traditional industries. It's hard and tiring, the return is low, and the benefits can't be seen immediately. "
Gao Siqi was cleaning and wiping the table. Li Lan waved at her and waited for her to come over. He said, "How was it? What did you get today?"
"I haven't seen much here yet. You guys chat first. I'm going to the river for a walk." Qi Yue went straight out of the house and headed towards the river.
Li Lan took out a cigarette and sniffed it. He rejected the lighter that Gao Siqi offered and smiled. "I'm not going to smoke anymore. I'm getting more and more shameless now, and I'm going to stop. I'm going to smoke and drink."
He had finally become a person that even he hated.
Gao Siqi said, "Men have to smoke and drink when they socialize outside. Just smoke a little less."
"You're just trying to fool me." Li Lan smiled and said, "Some people smoke just to cater to the group. It's a sign of lack of self-discipline."
Gao Siqi said, "Then it's best not to smoke. I've been there today. The company is very big and there are many employees. That Miss Wu is Miss Qi's classmate. She's also a very good person. She told me a lot, but I still don't understand a lot of it … "
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. "I didn't finish high school. I'm very stupid."
Li Lan said, "The key is whether you're confident. If you're confident, you can do it. No matter what it is, it's all about people. It's not science and technology, which requires mathematical, physical, and chemical knowledge. The main content of a cosmetics company should be marketing and management. If you spend some time and study hard, you should be able to do it. "
Gao Siqi said, "Then do you think I can do it?"
Li Lan said, "Don't worry and do it boldly. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in Miss Qi and her classmates. As for how much to invest, I'll discuss it with Miss Qi later. "
Gao Siqi hesitated for a moment and said, "The company is a little far from here. It'll take two hours to drive. If I take the subway and bus, it'll probably take more than three hours."
Li Lan said, "Then you can pack your things and go with Miss Qi. Ask her to help you choose an apartment to rent. It's close to the company, so you don't have to go back and forth."
Gao Siqi said, "Are you driving me away?"
Li Lan said, "Not only men need a career, but women also need their own career. Believe me, when you're financially independent, you'll see things from a different perspective."
Gao Siqi lowered her head and said nothing.
Li Lan went to his bedroom, took out a stack of money from his bag, and put it in front of Gao Siqi. "Ten thousand yuan. You can use it first."
Gao Siqi said, "I still have some left from the money you gave me last time."
Li Lan said, "Take it. You have a lot of money in your hands. Don't worry, I won't charge you interest."
Gao Siqi finally took the money, turned around, and went upstairs.
Qi Yue came back from outside and found that only Li Lan was sitting in the living room. She smiled and asked, "Miss Gao agreed."
Li Lan said, "Yes, but she's not very confident. Does your classmate have any conditions? How many shares is she willing to sell? How much is she willing to sell? "
Qi Yue poured herself a cup of tea and hugged the teacup. "Some time ago, she was still a little arrogant. Now that she's been through a setback, she can't be arrogant anymore. As long as money comes in, she'll be thankful.
Of course, business is business. I've talked to her seriously. She's willing to sell 50% of the shares for 12 million. The price is still negotiable. As for asking her to give up her major shareholder status, I don't think it's possible. It's equivalent to asking her to sell the company. "
Li Lan said, "I believe you. You can set the price. I won't interfere. Gao Siqi doesn't know anything and she needs a guide. If your classmate sells the company directly, I'm afraid she won't do her best. Since we can split the shares, that's great. "
Qi Yue said, "Mr. Li, don't worry. I'll take care of it. If she doesn't live up to your expectations, I won't be biased. "
Li Lan said, "In terms of funds, let's do this. Go to the Commercial Bank and guarantee the loan for Gao Siqi in my name."
Qi Yue said, "Mr. Li, there's no need to go through so much trouble. There's a finance company under Liuliu Technology. As long as you agree, you can use the company's name to lend to Miss Gao."
"Is this legal?" Li Lan asked.
Qi Yue said, "You're the big boss of Liuliu Technology, and this finance company is wholly owned by Liuliu Technology. As long as you agree, there's no problem at all."
Li Lan nodded. "Then you can handle it. Let her go with you later and help her rent a house. She doesn't have to go back and forth from my place."
When Qi Yue heard this, she seemed to understand something. She nodded and said, "I understand, Mr. Li."
Gao Siqi wobbled down the stairs with a big box in her hands. Li Lan jogged over and took it from her.
Qi Yue got into the car.
Gao Siqi looked at Li Lan and wanted to say something a few times.
Li Lan said, "Get in the car. Call me if you need anything."
"Thank you. You're a good person." After a long silence, Gao Siqi finally said this and got in the car.
Seeing the car gradually drive away, Li Lan did not stay. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had fulfilled some responsibility.
After Gao Siqi left, Li Lan was left alone. The villa suddenly seemed empty again.
However, he had always been used to being alone. It had nothing to do with whether he had company or not. Only lonely people needed company.
As the sun set, he sat on the grass, holding a book in his hand. From time to time, he would pay attention to the movement of the fishing float. When the sun set, it was still the same as noon. He found nothing.
When he got home, he ate something carelessly and studied the chess record for a while. He could not open his eyes, probably because he had exhausted too much energy last night.
The next morning.
Because he had forgotten to lock the Lion King in the cage, he was woken up by the Lion King at 5: 30 am when the sun had just risen.
"You're even more punctual than an alarm clock." Li Lan jumped out of bed and opened the door. The Lion King immediately crawled into the bushes. He checked the house and sniffed. There was no stench or urine. Only then did he relax. "At least you're sensible. If you dare to pee in the house, I'll teach you a lesson."
After throwing the dirty clothes into the washing machine, he began to make breakfast. The so-called breakfast was just a pot of porridge.
After breakfast, he hung up the clothes and drove to the market to buy two days' worth of food.
When Qi Yue called, he was studying the method of braised pork ribs.
"Mr. Li, the final price is 10 million for 50% of the shares."
"Sign it if you think it's okay." Li Lan tilted his head and used his shoulder to hold the phone. He held the handle of the wok in one hand and the spatula in the other. Seeing that it was about to burn, he hurriedly said, "Alright, I'm hanging up."
There was too little oil and too much soy sauce. The black blob had already stuck to the bottom of the wok. He had no choice but to pour water in and cover the wok.
He thought to himself, "It's not easy to study cooking, but it's still burnt. It seems that I don't have the genes to be a chef. But it won't stop me from being a gourmet."
With this thought, he felt much more at ease.
After he scooped the rice and placed the dishes on the table, Qi Yue called again.
"Mr. Li, the contract has been signed."
Li Lan said, "That's good. I can't control the rest even if I wanted to."
Qi Yue said, "Mr. Li, Miss Gao wants to talk to you."
Before Li Lan could reply, he heard Gao Siqi's voice.
"Thank you. You don't have to worry. It's pretty good here. Miss Qi has already rented a house for me. It's quite big and the environment is good. The company is doing well. Miss Wu has given me an office."
Li Lan said, "Then work hard."
Gao Siqi said, "I won't let you down."
"The key is not to let yourself down."
After Li Lan hung up the phone, he picked up his chopsticks and tasted a piece of pork ribs. The color was not good, but the taste was still acceptable. He was quite satisfied with it.
For the next few days, he practiced his cooking skills every day. The pork ribs were finally close to the glossy golden color described in the books. As for the taste, he spat it out after one bite.
Pan Shaojun entered the door and saw his bitter face. He said, "You're the only one who can disgust yourself by cooking."
Li Lan grumbled and said with a smile, "I never use chicken powder or MSG. Today, I was courting death and put a little. It's a little greasy. Why are you so energetic today? "
Pan Shaojun had already come once. Li Lan didn't expect him to come again the next day.
Pan Shaojun said, "My old man heard that you're here and I didn't tell him, so he scolded me. If you don't treat me to a big meal today, you'll be letting me down."
Li Lan smiled and said, "It's not a problem to treat you to a meal, but how did Uncle Pan know that I'm here? Did Sang Chunling or She Ziling tell him? "
Pan Shaojun asked curiously, "You don't know?"
Li Lan asked, "What should I know?"
Pan Shaojun was even more puzzled. "Didn't you tell Uncle Li about what happened at the bar last time?"
Li Lan indeed hadn't told his old man about it. He subconsciously realized something and urged, "Don't talk nonsense. Just tell me. You're not the type to dawdle."
Pan Shaojun said, "The An family has been in bad luck recently. First, it's Anxin Copper under the Anxin Group. The bank seems to have discussed with them and canceled all the credit.
There's also the Anxin Trust. Most of the collateral is real estate and stocks. Recently, there have been two trust projects that involve more than a billion yuan. One of the financiers is a real estate company. They suddenly ran out of money halfway through the building and the bank also called in the loan. The other financier is a dairy company. There was a melamine scandal and all the pledged shares were frozen by the court. Have you ever thought about it? If the financier's collateral depreciates or the property can't be sold, resulting in a lack of cash flow, they can't deal with it on time and can't add new shares as collateral. What will happen? "
Li Lan said, "If the An family has cash flow, they can naturally get through the crisis. There's another way, and that is to find an asset management company to take over."
An Xin said, "The key is that the Anxin Group is wealth on paper and doesn't have much cash flow. Whether they want to get a loan from the bank or find an asset management company to take over, if Uncle Li doesn't agree, which bank dares to lend? Which asset management company dares to take over? "
When mentioning Second Brother Li, his eyes lit up and he looked like he admired him.
However, Li Lan was not happy. He finally knew what kind of world he was living in. He couldn't help but light a cigarette and ask, "What about Nian Feng?"
Pan Shaojun said excitedly, "Nian Feng? Is there a need to ask? He's definitely dead. I didn't expect that this guy looks so glamorous on the outside, but he's such an idiot on the inside. He's actually full of debts and refuses to pay them back. I heard that Chen Dadi has called all the creditors over and they're going to sue him in court. If he doesn't pay back the money, the court will enforce it.
He definitely can't afford to pay back the money. As for after the auction, he'll definitely be a real debtor. "
Li Lan scratched his head and looked very distressed. This puzzled Pan Shaojun and he said, "What's wrong with you? If you're not satisfied with the result, we'll deal with them slowly. Anyway, with Uncle Li's methods, these people have no chance to make a comeback. "
Towards Second Brother Li, he simply couldn't admire him any more.
Li Lan smiled and said, "It's nothing. Did my dad call Uncle Pan?"
He finally understood what kind of world he was living in.
He was living in a world where Second Brother Li was everywhere.
Pan Shaojun shook his head. "I didn't ask in detail, but this time it was Chen Dadi and that Chaozhou guy, Zhang Xianwen, who worked together. But think about it, my dad saw it, how could he not ask? Even if he asked, how could they not tell? "
Li Lan went into the kitchen and took out a bag of peanuts. He poured them into a plate and opened the can of beer. He first put a bottle in front of Pan Song and then took one for himself. "Come, drink with me."
Without waiting for Pan Shaojun's response, he drank half a bottle first.
After Pan Shaojun took a sip, he pinched two peanuts in his hand and chewed as he said, "What's on your mind? If we're brothers, just tell me. I'll do whatever I can to help."
Li Lan said, "What can I have on my mind? I don't lack food, I don't lack money. I'm destined to be a winner in life since I was born. What can I not be content with? Don't you think so? "
Pan Shaojun said, "You don't have anything important to worry about. Just eat and drink every day."
Li Lan agreed. "Yeah, just eat and drink. I don't need to work hard to win. How great is that?"
Pan Shaojun felt that something was wrong. He said, "The more I listen to you, the more I feel that something is wrong. Something must have happened to you."
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Did you quarrel with Uncle Li? Actually, you should be more open-minded. Take my old man for example. He often scolds me. Between men and women, beating and scolding is love. It's more appropriate to describe it between father and son.
I have an older sister who's overseas. She has a career to take care of. I'm the only one left. Won't I be mine in the future? Think about it. Life is beautiful. I'll just let him scold me a few times. It's not a big deal even if I let him beat me a few times. "
Li Lan said, "My mom said that there's a natural balance between father and son. If you can't even control your old man, what future can you have? Blindly listening to your old man isn't filial piety, it's stupidity.
A generation should have its own way of thinking.
That's basically what she meant. "
Pan Shaojun pondered for a while and finally asked, "Don't tell me you're rebelling for the sake of rebelling?"
