Li Lan smiled. "Why don't you go to sleep when you're so busy?"
Li Yi said mischievously, "I was wondering if the two of you would come back. I didn't expect you to come back in less than an hour."
Li Lan said, "Don't think about these useless things all day long."
Li Yi said, "I think she's okay. She's graceful and not annoying at first sight."
"That's a low requirement," Li Lan said.
Li Yi pouted at her father and said, "It's useless. I feel that Dad doesn't have anything against her. He's quite friendly."
Li Lan said, "He's friendly to everyone."
After entering the ward, there was a sofa, coffee table, and water dispenser in the outer room. There were two single beds in the inner room. His mother took one of them. He said to Li Yi, "You go in. I'll sleep on the sofa."
Firstly, he was sleepy, and secondly, he had drunk some alcohol. He fell asleep in less than two minutes.
When he woke up the next day, all he saw were pairs of legs. It felt like the room was full of people.
He sat up straight and was about to look at his watch when he heard He Hu, who was sitting opposite him, say, "Sleep a little longer. It's not even nine o 'clock yet."
Seeing Li Lan pick up a cup of tea from the table, he continued, "Drink it. It's freshly brewed. No one has touched it."
Li Lan asked, "Why are you all here?"
He turned around and saw that his uncle and aunt, Fang Quan, Fang Li, and He Juan were all in the ward. His mother was leaning against the headboard, chatting with them.
He Hu said, "I wanted to go to your house for a meal, but no one picked up when I called Aunt, and your phone was turned off, so I called Li Yi. She said she was at the hospital, so we all came."
Li Lan touched the phone that was stuck in the corner of the sofa and said with a smile, "I was afraid that someone would disturb me, so I turned off my phone. You didn't go to the office today? "
He Hu said, "There's nothing much to do recently. I've been spending my time in the office every day. It doesn't make much difference whether I go or not."
"How can that be?" Li Lan sipped his tea and said with a smile, "You're a professional in business management. How can you have nothing to do? Unlike me, I'm a complete layman."
Moreover, his father had done all the work that could be done. He could not interfere, or rather, there was no place for him to use his skills.
As for his uncle's side, it was a different situation. Although his family was also very rich, if one were to analyze it strictly, it was still a grass-roots organization. It was just that the scale seemed to be larger.
He Hu sighed and did not say anything.
Li Lan took out a pack of cigarettes, stood up and said, "Let's go out and have a smoke."
People came and went in the hospital. Even the entrance of the inpatient department was full of people. The two of them left the hospital and smoked by the flower bed at the entrance of the hospital.
He Hu said, "The company is full of old salted fishes who are just sitting around waiting to die. I've long wanted to get rid of them. My dad said that they worked hard and performed great deeds, but what kind of deeds did they actually do?
Those who are truly capable and capable wouldn't want to stay in this kind of company. They would have long run away. Anyway, those who are capable don't have to worry about not having enough to eat no matter where they go. They wouldn't be convinced by an old bumpkin like my dad.
As for those who weren't capable, or those who were mediocre, they couldn't do great things, but they also wouldn't make big mistakes. They were adaptable to circumstances and could endure it. Once the outstanding people left, they would have the opportunity to rise.
Now, most of the people in the company are like this.
They're all what my dad calls loyal and reliable people.
He doesn't know anything at all. These people just can't run away. If they had the ability, they wouldn't even be left alive.
There's no such thing as loyalty.
Now that they're all so full of food, they won't leave. "
Li Lan smiled and said, "Is it as bad as you say? I think it's alright. Moreover, the F&B business isn't complicated, and the business is still doing well. "
"You might not believe it, but this season, there were two F&B restaurants that were losing money. As for my dad, he doesn't know about it. He thinks that he doesn't need to worry about losing a few hundred thousand yuan," He Hu said, "The competition in the F&B industry is very fierce now. It's useless to just have good taste. The service has to keep up. It's easy to run one or two restaurants, but we're a chain, so it's not that easy to run."
Li Lan said, "Then talk to Uncle. He's not an unreasonable person."
He Hu said, "He's too reasonable. His principles are based on the word 'righteousness'. Life is love, and death is his will.
If it wasn't for Aunt, I think he would've gone bankrupt eight hundred years ago.
I've already thought about it. No, the homestay has been quite popular these two years. I'll give it a try and earn some money. There's nothing wrong with that. I can't get entangled with him anymore. "
In short, his father's way of doing business was not in line with the market economics that he studied.
Li Lan smiled and said, "Do you want me to invest in you?"
"No need. You're underestimating me. I can fork out a thousand or eight million yuan. If it really gets big, I'll look for you to invest in me," He Hu said again. "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Go eat some?"
Li Lan put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can. "I'm going to the office for a while. I'll grab a bite on the way. If there's nothing else, you can go back. I saw that my mom was in good spirits just now. You guys aren't of much use here."
He Hu said, "Okay, I'll go up and tell her. You can go."
Li Lan nodded and took the keys to the hospital's parking lot. He found his car and drove out of the hospital.
However, the direction was not the office that he told He Hu about. Instead, he was going to Houhai.
It was the morning rush hour and Gulou Street was jammed. He turned the car into the underground parking lot of a shopping mall and walked out.
When he passed by six hundred houses, he only looked at the alley but did not enter. He continued to walk forward. After two turns, his final destination was Wang Hui's house.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to stand in front of the Wang family's house. The door was closed. He peeked through the crack and saw no one inside.
He guessed that Wang Hui was at work and there was a noodle shop nearby. He went in and ordered a bowl of zhajiang noodles. One pancake was not enough, so he ate two more.
After eating and drinking his fill, he bought a bottle of mineral water and sat on the threshold of the Wang family's house.
He was woken up by a pair of black leather shoes. When he raised his head and saw the owner of the shoes, he hurriedly stood up.
"Why did you fall asleep at my door?" Wang Hui asked with a smile.
"I didn't sleep well last night." Li Lan looked at the cigarette butt on the ground and felt a little embarrassed. "I'm a little sleepy."
After Wang Hui's secretary opened the door, Li Lan followed closely behind. He went in to find a broom and a dustbox and cleaned up the cigarette butt.
Wang Hui personally made tea for him and asked kindly, "Why do you have time to come to my place today? I usually call you, but you don't even bother to come."
Li Lan smiled and said, "Of course not. The last time you called me, I was out of town and couldn't make it back."
Wang Hui had called him once in the past six months and he had only rejected her once.
Now, it was mistaken as a habitual rejection.
He did not explain further.
Regardless of age or education level, women were always like this.
