Su Ming chatted with Li He for a while and more or less understood what he meant. However, he could only listen to part of Li He's words. He was not as rich as Li He, who was so well-trained at such a young age and treated money like it was nothing.
His money was the real hard-earned money.
Although investing in a movie was not considered a huge gamble, it was still a high risk. Getting rich overnight and losing everything were on the same level.
He had to be cautious. He did not stay for lunch and left immediately.
At night, Li He and his wife had just finished their exercise when the loud cries of a child came from outside.
However, it was definitely not Li Lan's. Li Lan was sleeping with Old Madam He in the front yard, and his cries could not have traveled that far.
Li He stopped He Fang, who wanted to follow him. "I'll go over and take a look. You sleep first. You still have work tomorrow, so don't wait for me."
When they entered Wang Yulan and her husband's room, Yang Huai was wailing loudly.
Wang Yulan coaxed him while grumbling, "Russian little brat, he didn't make a fuss when he came so early. Why is he making a fuss today?"
Li He asked, "What's wrong with him? Why is he crying in the middle of the night?"
Wang Yulan said helplessly, "He said he wants to go home. Who can send him home at this time? He was happy in the afternoon, but his face changed at night."
"Ah wants to go home to find Ah Ma." Yang Huai continued to cry.
The novelty had worn off, and the homesickness and longing for his mother were almost instantaneous.
"Alright, don't cry. Call your mother tomorrow, okay?" Seeing that Li Ke and Li Pei were also affected, Li He quickly coaxed Yang Huai. If the three children were to make a fuss together, it would be troublesome.
Yang Huai yelled, "Ah wants to go home now!"
Li He patted him on the back. "Didn't you promise Uncle when you came? You said you were obedient, so why are you going home now? We'll definitely call Mom tomorrow, okay? Let's go to sleep now. "
Yang Huai continued to sob.
Wang Yulan said, "Aren't you the same as Grandma? Grandma is taking you to school."
"I just want my mother!" Yang Huai still only had this one sentence.
Li Zhaokun said to Li He, "Call his mother. Don't hurt your throat from crying."
"Alright." Upon closer inspection, Yang Huai's eyes were swollen from crying. Li He was afraid that the child would hurt himself from crying. He didn't care what time it was and directly dialed Yang Xuewen's home phone number.
Li Mei and her husband didn't sleep well in the middle of the night. The little lass wet the bed and was busy wiping the mat.
She had just wrung the rag clean and hung it out to dry when she heard the phone at the bedside ring.
Li Mei was still curious about who was calling. As soon as she picked up the phone, the sound of crying made her heart wrench. It was her own son's voice. How could she not recognize it?
She asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Li He held onto the big brother and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that Yang Huai is homesick and is crying in the middle of the night. You can comfort him yourself."
Yang Huai hugged the big brother with both hands and spoke to Li Mei in a muffled voice.
On the other end of the phone, one was crying and the other was comforting. One was thirsty and the other was not listening.
Li Mei and her husband took turns to answer the phone and comforted him.
In the end, Carpenter Yang and his wife heard the noise and picked up the phone anxiously. They promised their eldest great-grandson.
As they chatted, there was no sound. Li He tried calling back. It turned out that the big brother owed the bill.
He quickly returned to the central room and called back the landline.
Just like that, they continued chatting.
Wang Yulan said worriedly, "This phone bill is really expensive."
"There's no need for that. Let them chat as long as they want," Li He said nonchalantly. As long as he could coax this child, chatting until next year would not be a problem.
It was not until three o 'clock in the morning that Yang Huai hung up the phone with his eyelids drooping. He fell asleep in Wang Yulan's arms.
When they woke up in the morning, Yang Huai woke up very early as usual. He ate a bowl of porridge and two salted duck eggs before running around with Li Pei and the kids.
Seeing how happy he was, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
However, that night, when he was about to sleep, he cried again.
Then, he continued to make calls. Li Mei and her family all went to comfort him.
Just like the night before, he fell asleep again.
Li He had learned his lesson. The first thing he did after breakfast was to go to the telecommunications office. Under everyone's shocked gaze, he recharged fifty thousand yuan in one go. This way, he would not have to worry about the phone being shut down because of the bill.
Fortunately, Yang Huai only caused a ruckus for a few days before he stopped. It was as if he had completely forgotten about going home.
Ding Shiping and Pinsong brought news from Xiong Haizhou. The Pan Hai Group had won the renovation project of Chrysanthemum Alley.
Pinsong said, "We went to bid for it. Even though the price was 50% lower than the Pan Hai Group, we still couldn't win it even if it was a losing bid."
"It's not your fault." Li He was so angry that he slammed the table. He had underestimated Xiong Haizhou's power. There were some things that could not be done with money.
Ding Shiping suggested, "Why don't we give him some trouble with the demolition? I have a way to make it so that he won't be able to demolish it for a year and a half! "
Li He shook his head. "This is a government project. If we really do that, who will be embarrassed?"
Pinsong and Ding Shiping were silent.
Li He continued, "How's his mall?"
After Xiong Haizhou took over Luo Pei's mall, he was renovating it and preparing to reopen for business.
Pinsong said confidently, "Don't worry about that. As long as it's a partner with us, I can guarantee that they won't be able to get their hands on it! I haven't been doing wholesale with Lu Bo for all these years for nothing. Xiaowei's electronics store alone is enough to choke him. "
They had been the biggest second-hand dealers in the north China region a few years ago. Now, Lu Bo's department store alone had opened four stores. No manufacturer dared to offend them. In this day and age, channels were king.
Even if these manufacturers dared to sacrifice the north China market, they did not have the guts to say that they did not care about the southern market.
In the southern market, there were trading companies like Su Ming, Yu Dehua, and Shen Daoru. Their channels were stronger than those in the north.
Furthermore, Yu Dehua was the president of the Light Industry Union. Not many manufacturers dared to offend him because their exports depended on him.
Even in the face of a company like Huang Bingxin, few factories dared not to give him face.
"Then let's continue." Since they could not cut the Gordian knot, they would cut the meat with a blunt knife. As long as they could hurt the other party, it would be fine. Li He said to Ding Shiping, "Go with Pinsong to settle the paperwork. Follow me to Hong Kong in a few days."
He wanted to send his children to Hong Kong.
If not for He Fang's objection, he would have brought Li Lan to Hong Kong as well.
He Fang had already enrolled Li Lan in Mian Hutong Kindergarten. She was very persistent about the educational resources of a famous school. Even elementary school, middle school, high school, and university were all non-elite schools. He had already planned which schools he would attend. He had even started a discussion with Li He and compared all the schools. It was as if his son was born to attend such a school.
Before school started, Li Lan carried his brand-new school bag all day, running around the courtyard and alleys.
After dinner, He Fang brushed her teeth in the flower bed as usual. Suddenly, she retched.
Wang Yulan pouted at Li Zhaokun.
Li Zhaokun said nonchalantly, "It's been like this since morning. What's so strange about it?"
Wang Yulan knew she could not get through to him, so she looked at her son.
