Wang Hui pushed the teacup closer to him and said with a smile, "Marx was right. As a capitalist, he's just a personified capital. His soul is the soul of capital.
I thought you were different from your dad, but now it seems that there's no difference between capitalists. "
"Auntie Wang, you're hurting me," Li Lan said with a smile, "We're private capital, an important part of the national economy. Besides, it's a big deal if people hear about it."
The secretary, who was delivering the fruit plate, was no stranger to Li Lan, but she was shocked when she heard Li Lan's words.
She had been Wang Hui's secretary for more than five years, and Li Lan was the only one she knew who dared to talk to her boss like that.
She gently put the fruit plate on the table, nodded at Li Lan, and left the room.
Wang Hui rolled her eyes at him and said, "Wow, you're starting to learn how to manipulate people. Did you learn this from your dad? "
Li Lan held the teacup and said helplessly, "I'm an educated adult. I don't need to learn from anyone, right? I have my own brain. "
Wang Hui sat on his left with her hands on her lap and said with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter? I'm not a stingy person. Tell me, if I can't do it, don't blame me."
Li Lan hesitated and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal."
Wang Hui picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Then it's still something."
"It's not a big deal," Li Lan said.
Wang Hui said, "Whether it's a big deal or not, are you going to tell me or not?"
"I actually want to ask a question." Li Lan hesitated and said, "It's mainly about my family."
"Why don't you ask your father and mother about your family matters? Why are you asking me? You're putting the cart before the horse, aren't you?" Wang Hui put down the teacup again and said with a smile, "You can't quarrel with your family, right?"
Li Lan shook his head and said, "No, my mom got a heatstroke and was hospitalized."
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wang Hui stood up in shock and said, "Which hospital? I'll go and have a look now."
Li Lan replied, "It's nothing serious. He was hospitalized last night and was in good condition this morning after receiving a drip."
"Then I have to go and take a look," Wang Hui urged. "Let's go. Do you want to accompany me?"
Li Lan said, "Can you not let them know that I came looking for you? Do you know our old house in Wanger Mountain? I've been living there by myself. "
Even someone as smart as Wang Hui couldn't figure out what Li Lan was trying to say. None of his words were connected.
She sat down again and said, "Your auntie is stupid. Explain it to her."
"My mother went to visit me yesterday and got a heatstroke when she came back," Li Lan said.
"It was quite hot yesterday," Wang Hui said.
"She even smoked yesterday." Li Lan had only heard that his mother used to smoke, but he had never seen her smoke.
Wang Hui said, "She used to be a heavy smoker and has quit smoking for more than 30 years."
In his heart, he was also puzzled. How could he suddenly smoke?
Li Lan continued, "In my dream, I heard her say who's back. Auntie Wang, do you know who's back?"
Although Wang Hui was shocked, her face didn't change at all. She pretended to think for a while and said, "Your parents and I are both classmates. We only meet in our classmates' circle, so I don't know all of their friends."
Li Lan said, "Thank you, Auntie Wang."
He didn't ask any more questions.
He knew that Auntie Wang was as stubborn as his parents. Once she made a decision, she wouldn't easily change her decision just because of a few words from others.
Therefore, since Auntie Wang had already given such an answer, it didn't matter what methods he used, such as acting pitiful or pestering her, it was useless.
"Don't you want to have lunch here?" Wang Hui called out to Li Lan, who had already walked to the door.
Li Lan said, "No, I have to go back to the company. I have a meeting today."
Wang Hui reminded him, "Drive slowly."
She walked him to the door and watched him slowly stride out of the alley. When his shadow gradually disappeared, she sighed.
With her back facing him, she said to the secretary behind her, "Call Secretary Liu and see if he's there. I'll go to his office."
The secretary thought for a long time but still felt a little confused. Liu was a common surname and there was more than one Secretary Liu.
However, it seemed like there was only one person who could make her leader personally visit, and that was Liu Bo. Moreover, it was because they were classmates.
After thinking it through, she quickly replied, "I'll call Secretary Wang now."
Li Lan returned to the company and lay on the sofa in his office. He slept until the afternoon. When he thought about having lunch, the company cafeteria was already closed.
After making tea, he leaned back on the chair and sent a message to Wang Ziwen. His father really didn't come to work today.
He ate something nearby and drove to the hospital again.
In the ward, there were only his parents. He didn't see Li Yi.
Li He said, "Your sister is home. Didn't I call you not to come? Why are you here again? "
Li Lan said, "Why don't you go back and rest? I'll keep Mom company."
He Fang said, "Song Gu will be discharged as soon as the paperwork is done. There's no need to keep her company."
"You don't want to stay for another day?" Li Lan realized that his mother was in much better spirits.
He Fang said, "I won't stay like this even if I'm terminally ill. I'll be worried to death."
She asked Li He and his son to leave and got up to change her clothes.
When she was done, Li Lan carried his bag and his father held his mother's hand as they went downstairs.
His parents got into Song Gu's car while he drove his own. Just as he reached home, he borrowed Qin Yuancheng's phone.
He Fang sat on the sofa and listened. She smiled and said, "Call me over for dinner."
"My mom said to invite you over for dinner," Li Lan said truthfully over the phone.
"What do you mean then?" Qin Yuancheng asked. "You don't seem willing."
"No." Li Lan smiled and said, "Where are you? I'll come and pick you up."
"It's okay. We're a group of people who aren't protected by labor laws. We don't have human rights and we have to work overtime tonight." Qin Yuancheng sighed and said, "There's still a lot of materials to do. Thank Auntie for me. I'll definitely visit her next time."
Li Lan chatted with her for a while before hanging up.
He Fang smiled and said, "I have to criticize you for not being proactive enough."
Li Lan realized that even though his mother was smiling, her smile was very forced.
It was hard for him to look at her.
"Mom, is something bothering you?" Li Lan couldn't help but ask.
He Fang said, "You're always thinking about it. What could possibly be bothering me? Go to the kitchen and see if your sister needs help."
Li He brought a bowl of soup from the kitchen and said with a smile, "Sea cucumber and three delicacies soup. I made it. Try it."
