At first, he liked this house very much. It was quiet and suited his character.
Later, he walked the dog every morning and occasionally lit the stove, which would cause trouble for others. Although there were only a few families living in the community, he was embarrassed, so he asked Wang Ying from the sales department to buy them all.
As for the unsold houses in the sales department, he bought them all.
The real estate company gave the sales department to Li Lan out of gratitude.
Li Lan changed the upper and lower floors of the sales department into a chess room. He really wanted to focus on chess training, but unfortunately, no one responded. The surrounding area was too remote.
Moreover, the weekend time was precious. It was more cost-effective to enroll the child in two more courses. What Go and Chinese chess?
Was there a need to learn these things?
Therefore, no one came for free.
Slowly, the chess room he envisioned turned into a card room.
Because of the elegant surrounding environment, convenient parking, and Wang Ying's good management skills, the influence of the surrounding area gradually increased.
The sales department was disbanded and Wang Ying lost her job, so Li Lan hired him as the manager of the chess room.
She didn't understand Li Lan's love for Go. She focused on economic benefits. From the chess room's decoration to the layout, it was all in accordance with the highest standards in the industry.
With hundreds of thousands of dollars coming in every month, she thought Li Lan would be happy and recognize her ability.
Unfortunately, Li Lan frowned more and more.
He Zhou sighed. "Rich people are inhumane."
Sang Chunling said, "Come on, all of you. Don't you dare cry about being poor. Aren't you embarrassed? Who's worse off now?"
She Ziling smiled. "Yes."
Li Lan said, "The last time I came back from the airport, I passed by the airport logistics area. That area belongs to your family. Even Uncle Pan Song is very envious. Dongfeng Express is developing very fast, but it's not as bold as your mother. She spent 10 billion euros to buy a Pross.
So, you brat, don't try to take advantage of me. "
Everyone was talking and laughing.
Bai Yueting quietly helped She Ziling, Sang Chunling and others, and silently listened to everyone's conversation.
She had been in contact with many circles and knew many so-called rich people, but these rich people only had one purpose for her, to value her.
Then they would wave the money in their hands and wait for her to undress.
However, since she met He Zhou, she understood what a real rich person was.
Those who need to decorate themselves with money, clothes, and watches are usually poor.
There were a lot of such people in her WeChat Moments. Today, it was "Congratulations to President Zhao for getting married with Tifaliti", and tomorrow, it was "Celebrating President Liu for getting married with the Harmony account".
They even had to take a photo when they entered a high-class restaurant to eat.
She then heard He Zhou say, "Didn't Pan Shaojun's father just buy the ports in Greece and Portugal? My family can't compare to them. "
He knew this much about himself.
Sang Chunling took out a duck from the big stove outside and asked, "Do you want to cut it up?"
He Zhou used his chopsticks to poke at the duck. The duck meat sank into the chest cavity. He smiled and said, "It's too mushy. There's no need to cut it."
Just as he was about to get up with the bowl, She Ziling took it from him and said, "You want to scoop some rice?"
He Zhou said, "I'll scoop it myself."
She Ziling said, "Sit down."
She insisted on filling He Zhou's bowl with rice.
He Zhou took the bowl and used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of duck meat and stuffed it into the bowl. As he ate, he said, "It's delicious mixed with rice. I'll bring salted goose over next time. It's even tastier when steamed with rice. The rice is so oily."
His grandmother didn't rear geese, but his second grandmother did. If he wanted a few, his second grandmother would definitely give him a few. There was no shortage of food.
She Ziling and Bai Yueting watched everyone eat with grease dripping from their mouths. Out of curiosity, they couldn't help but pick up a piece each. After eating it, they couldn't help but stick out their tongues and force it into their stomachs.
The two of them looked at each other and understood each other. This duck was really salty.
How did they manage to eat such salty food?
Li Lan smiled and said, "We all have strong tastes. You might not be used to it. If you don't like it, eat something else."
In their family, his mother and sister abhorred salted meat, but he and his father liked to eat it. There was a big stove at the back of the house in the West Mountain, which was mainly used to stew salted meat. When his mother was unwilling to do it, he and his father had to do it themselves, and they had enough food and clothing.
Bai Yueting said embarrassedly, "I still prefer lighter dishes. I don't eat meat much."
Sang Chunling finished two pieces and stopped eating. She smiled and said, "I like it, but I can't eat too much. Boys have thick skin, so it's okay. Girls have thin lips. If they eat too much salt, their lips will crack, especially in winter."
He Zhou said, "If you don't like it, just say it."
Sang Chunling pointed at the beer in front of him. "Do you want to drink or not?"
He Zhou shook his head and said, "I'll drink after eating. Don't open another bottle for me. I'm not drinking anymore. I've already finished three bottles. If I drink too much, I won't be able to find my way home."
Li Lan said, "I'm not going to let you go tonight. I have a few friends coming over tonight. Let's get together again."
He Zhou and the others gladly accepted.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he lay lazily on the sofa, holding the teapot and sipping from time to time. Seeing that Bai Yueting wanted to say something, he smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
Bai Yueting said, "Why don't I go back first? I don't know anyone. It's quite embarrassing."
He Zhou said, "We're all from the same village. We grew up together. No one will mind. If you're sleepy, go upstairs and find a room to rest for a while. "
Bai Yueting said, "No need."
She was too embarrassed to lie on his bed.
At three or four o 'clock in the afternoon, Li Lan went to buy groceries. Sang Chunling stopped him and said with a smile, "Give me the car key. I'll go with Zi Ling. You don't have to worry about me. You've all drunk. Don't even think about touching cars again."
Li Lan said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
The guests that night were Pinsong's daughter, Ping Cuo, and Zhou Ping's son, Pang Yu, who came all the way from the capital. It was the first time they met He Zhou.
He Zhou said, "My name is He Zhou. We'll get to know each other better."
Li Lan said to Pang Yu, "He Zhou, my brother. We're from the same village. We've been playing together since we were young."
"Hello, my name is Pang Yu." Pang Yu was very modest because his mother had told him not to underestimate anyone who came from Li Village. Even a casual touch of their physique would make them taller than him.
Therefore, even though He Zhou's self-introduction was very simple, Pang Yu knew that Li Lan called him "brother" was a friend.
He had known Li Lan since he was still wearing diapers. He had even hugged him before, but Li Lan had never called him brother.
This was the difference.
