He Fang lay down for a while and drank some hot water. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and forced herself to get up. Seeing that the light in Li He's study room was still on, she walked in and said, "Go to sleep. You're getting old. Don't stay up late. Learn to take care of yourself.
Look at you. You look so gloomy every day. You're comparable to Sister Lin. What's there to be unhappy about? "
Li He said, "You're complimenting me for being handsome."
He placed the brush on the inkstone and turned to the teapot to take a sip of tea.
He Fang pulled the chair under Li He's butt to sit in front of her. She smiled and said, "I've never despised you for being ugly."
Li He asked, "If you really despise me for being ugly, it's not too late to regret it now."
He Fang said unhappily, "I'm getting old, it's not too late to regret it. If I was in my twenties, really, I'm not bragging. If I wanted a boyfriend, the queue would stretch from our doorstep to the county committee meeting.
Now, I'm sorry, he calls me auntie. "
Li He said, "From your tone, you sound like you're really regretting it?"
He Fang said, "What's there to regret? I'm the type of person who's stubborn and stubborn. I'll walk this path till the end. Anyway, this life is in your hands. Speaking of which, do you regret it? "
Li He said, "I'm rich and have a son and a daughter. I'm very content. Alright, it's getting late. Go to sleep first. I'm free tomorrow. I'll write some more. Oh right, I heard you say that you have a teaching meeting this afternoon? You're already retired. Why do you still have so many things to do? I should resign from my position in the Materials Teaching Steering Committee to give myself some time to relax. "
He Fang said, "I'm getting a stipend from the Mechanics Teaching Steering Committee. How can I not contribute? Besides, there aren't many things to do. I'm still a member of the Municipal Basic Education Teaching Steering Committee. I'll be attending their meeting tomorrow. I think they'll be discussing the issue of reducing the burden on students. "
Li He said disdainfully, "Reducing the burden? I didn't reincarnate well. I didn't have a pirate ancestor, nor did I have a slave-owner grandfather. I was born into a developing China family. It's all fate. I can't have princess syndrome, so I have to work hard. "
He Fang said, "You, you can't change your little farmer's knowledge. This is the capital. Do you think that getting into a key high school is like a carp leaping through the dragon's gate?"
Li He rubbed his nose and said, "Well, there's nothing wrong with being born in China. Just don't be born in the countryside."
He Fang said, "There are also rich people in the countryside."
Li He said, "Then don't be reincarnated into a poor family. The only choice for the poor is to work hard and endure. Reducing their burden is just harming them."
He Fang shook her head and said, "You're still so stubborn. I can't persuade you."
Li He suddenly said, "If you really can't stay idle, you can continue to be a principal, a principal of an elementary school, a king of the children. It won't be as tiring as it is in high school. You can go to any of the nearby Unilever high schools. "
He Fang said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Her heart was slightly moved.
A few days later, she really took up the position, but she was not the principal. Even if the school was her family's, it would not be good for her to take over someone else's position. Besides, she did not come out to work for power or money. She just wanted to find a place to make use of her remaining energy. Hence, she felt that being an ordinary physics teacher was not bad.
As for Li He, he did what he did every day. He could guess what would happen the next day just by looking at today.
Even when his companies went bankrupt one after another, he did not frown.
During the company's high-level meetings, he publicly said, "This is decided by the international climate and China's own small climate. It will definitely happen and will not change according to the will of the people. It's just a matter of time, a matter of size."
Now, there was no space for small steel mills or coal mines to survive.
Only when he sent Zhang Shusheng to the airport did he interrupt his uneventful life.
Standing at the entrance of the airport, he held a cigar and stood next to the trash can. He smiled and said, "Why are you still leaving?"
Zhang Shusheng said, "I'm used to staying overseas. I'm not used to it when I'm back. Thank you for sending me off."
Li He said, "It's my duty. Do you need any help?"
He felt that he owed Zhang Shusheng and wanted to make it up to her.
Zhang Shusheng said, "Don't be so wishy-washy. If you have the time, spend it on your daughter. You have to understand that at my age, I don't care about anything else in this life. She's my everything."
Li He stretched out his hand and said, "Have a safe trip."
Zhang Shusheng said, "Thank you. Let me know when you arrive in America. I'll treat you to a meal."
Li He nodded and watched her enter the airport.
Just as he got home, he heard from Dong Hao that Fu Yao had returned to China. After thinking about it, he did not bother too much about it.
Fu Bing personally went to the airport to pick him up. He drove an old van with peeling paint. The horn was turned to the loudest. As he drove, he shook his head.
Fu Yao felt that it was too noisy and turned down the volume.
Fu Bing smiled embarrassedly and turned it off. "I thought you young people would like it. I've seen American movies where young people like to jump around."
Fu Yao said, "You don't really like this style. Uncle, how's your business recently? "
Fu Bing said, "What business? It's just a run-down shop. The rent is so expensive. I work so hard every day to get some business. Otherwise, I can't even afford the rent."
He was still working as a real estate agent. However, he mainly rented houses. He only had three houses that he rented. After the partitions were renovated, he could not continue to expand. He could only rely on renting out other people's houses to earn some referral fees.
As for real estate sales, that was the business of chain agents. A small shop like his would not be able to get it and no customers would trust it easily.
Fu Yao said, "Do you want me to help you for a while?"
Fu Bing said, "I can't afford to use you. Otherwise, your mom would tear me apart. As for me, I can only do small things. You should go to your mom's company and work."
Fu Yao said, "My mom is in Malaysia now. She hasn't made any arrangements for me yet. I have a lot of free time."
The car stopped downstairs and he carried his luggage upstairs. The door was open. Old Madam Fu stood at the door and greeted him with a smile. Behind her was a table full of dishes.
"Grandma." Old Madam Fu's enthusiasm made it hard for Fu Yao to adapt.
Old Madam Fu said, "You must be tired. Go in and wash up. The towel is new. Then, let's eat. My good grandson must be hungry."
Fu Yao washed his face. Just as he sat at the dining table, Old Madam Fu had already brought him a cup of tea. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Grandma."
"We're family. There's no need to thank me." Old Madam Fu held a bottle of wine and said, "Your uncle is going to the shop later. He can't drink while driving. Do you want to drink with your grandpa?"
Fu Yao said, "I didn't sleep well on the plane. I won't drink."
Old Madam Fu said, "Then don't drink. Alcohol isn't good. Good grandson, don't learn from your grandpa. You're an alcoholic."
Then, she kept putting food into Fu Yao's bowl. Fu Yao was flattered. No matter what, he had never enjoyed such treatment before.
After dinner, Fu Bing wanted to go to work. Fu Yao hurriedly followed him to the shop to take a look. No matter what, he couldn't adapt to Old Madam Fu's enthusiasm.
Fu Bing's shop was located at the entrance of an old neighborhood. It wasn't big. It was about twenty square meters. There were two tables with a computer and a telephone on it.
"Hello, is this Mr. Wu? I'm from Chase Real Estate. I saw on the Internet that you have a house for rent. Is that right? "
A round-faced girl in a white shirt was sitting and talking on the phone. When she saw Fu Bing, the phone didn't stop.
Fu Yao could clearly hear the sound of cursing coming from the phone.
However, the girl's expression didn't change. She hit the phone and continued to make the next call.
"Your house has three rooms. How many rooms, living rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and balcony are there?" This time, the girl finally got something.
Fu Bing pointed to a chair at the side and said, "Sit."
As he poured water into Fu Yao's teacup, he said, "He calls me at least fifty times a day. No matter how many times he abuses me, I treat him like my first love."
Fu Yao said, "That's how it is in the sales business. When my mother first started making furniture, I heard her say that in order to find an agent, she would often be humiliated."
Just as Fu Bing was about to speak, the phone in his pocket rang. He hurriedly picked it up and was polite on the phone. However, after a few words, his voice suddenly rose, "I say, Brother, your requirements are too high. You can ask around in the entire Ten Mile Fort. A house with a water heater, refrigerator, and air conditioner is all equipped. You won't be able to afford it without 1800 yuan a month. I'll charge you 1200 yuan. It's really not expensive."
"What? I'll cover your water and electricity? " Fu Bing shouted, "If that's your attitude, you should dig a hole for yourself. Bury it wherever you want."
Without waiting for a response, he hung up.
The girl's phone also stopped. Fu Bing asked, "Have you eaten? If you haven't, go and eat. "
The girl smiled and said, "I've eaten."
Fu Bing pointed at Fu Yao and said, "This is my nephew. You can call him Xiao Fu. This is Xiao Fen. Call her Sister according to her age. "
Fu Yao smiled and greeted, "Sister Fen."
The girl smiled and said, "Just call me Zhou Fen."
Fu Bing said, "Be more patient. Renting a house isn't like buying groceries. You can leave in three minutes. It's normal to hesitate."
With that said, he sighed and said, "It's still better to sell houses. If you don't open for business for three years, you'll be able to eat for three years."
Fu Yao smiled and said, "Can't you do second-hand house sales?"
Fu Bing said, "There's no guarantee for second-hand houses. Whether it's the buyer or the seller, they're all very cautious. People won't trust you. I've been open for so long, but I haven't closed a single deal. "
