If it had been in the past, Li He wouldn't have thought of it as finding fault. Instead, he would have thought of it as a form of care. A man without a woman to control him was like a dog to most people.
That was why they were all desperate to get rid of their singlehood.
Life was very strange. Sometimes, things that one thought were dazzling and unparalleled, things that one would not hesitate to give up everything to obtain, after a period of time or looking at them from a different perspective, would feel that they had completely lost their luster.
"Before the mulberry leaves fall, the leaves are fertile; when the mulberry leaves fall, the leaves turn yellow and fall!"
Lying on the bed, Li He suddenly thought of this sentence.
The once tender mulberry leaves had now turned yellow and withered with the wind, hinting that the woman was getting older and her color was fading. In fact, it was referring to men's love for the new and dislike for the old.
He had only been married to He Fang for a few years. She couldn't have aged so quickly. In fact, to most people, He Fang should be getting more mature and elegant.
He still loved her so much, and he still liked her so much. This had never changed.
But he realized that he didn't want to talk to her anymore. He would even feel tired sometimes.
But he found that he liked to talk to Yeats or other people. It was a new and novel experience.
Yeah.
He had committed a sin that all men in the world would commit, liking the new and disliking the old.
"The banquet of the General Horn was full of smiles. There were simply too many men like Chen Shimei who swore solemnly and never thought of going against their wishes.
He angrily covered his head with the blanket and slapped his face a few times.
Once again, he felt the breadth and depth of China's traditional culture. His ancestors had thoroughly understood human nature!
"What's wrong?" He Fang asked with concern.
Li He shook his head. "Nothing."
He Fang said, "School starts. I'll take the kids home first?"
Li He nodded. "No problem. I've already asked Dong Hao to pick them up. Old Ding and the others should be here soon."
Not only Li Lan, but Li Pei and the others were also getting close to school.
Perhaps it was because of the guilt in his heart, Li He put in more effort that night.
In the morning, he got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. After breakfast, he had nothing else to do, so he wandered around the village.
Although the situation was much better than a few years ago, there were still very few families who could afford to build tile-roofed houses. It was still the same, and it seemed a little shabby.
"Busy?"
"This pig is so fat …"
He greeted everyone he met. His clothes were bright and shiny. His family was one of the few in the village who did not wear patched clothes. Moreover, as a family that could afford to eat meat for every meal, and as a representative of the successful people who got rich first, it was easy for him to get everyone's respect when he walked around the village.
He was also willing to talk with them. The topics he talked about were family planning, money, children's education, and wheat harvest.
No one knew that a magnitude 6.6 earthquake had occurred in the Los Angeles area, and no one cared about the National Poverty Alleviation Plan that had just been implemented: to basically solve the food and clothing problem of the country's 80 million poor people in the last seven years by the end of the century.
However, most people were looking forward to the future. They wanted to eat meat every day, make new blankets next year, and build a new house like Old Li's.
Their biggest hope was to be like Li Hui or Zhao Di, who could buy a car and run a freight business. This was the fastest way to get rich that they could come into contact with.
Those who were not satisfied with their current situation either found small jobs nearby, or carried their quilts and went south to work.
Li He unknowingly walked to Liu Chuanqi's door. Liu Chuanqi was holding his grandson and feeding him eggs. When he saw Li He, he passed the child to his daughter and tossed a cigarette at him. "Sit."
"Have a meeting in the village and fix the road to the commune." Li He puffed out a ring of smoke. "I'll pay for it."
Liu Chuanqi smacked his lips. "It's not about money. Unless the commune takes the lead, our village meeting won't help. Do you think I haven't thought about it? In the past, we all thought about building the road. No matter what, we have to lay some gravel. But it's meaningless to build it on the old roadbed. It's only enough for hand-held carts and tractors, and not one more. But it's not easy to expand it. From our village to the commune, we have to cross a few villages. Who would be willing to let their land and canal be occupied for no reason? "
Li He said, "I'll talk to the county."
The gap between ideals and reality was often huge. For example, building a road in front of them had to go through certain administrative measures. Who would build the road, how to build it, how to compensate for the land, and even small matters like the roadbed being higher than the villagers' yard needed to be coordinated.
"That's for the best." Liu Chuanqi naturally understood the Li brothers' connections outside.
Li He smiled. "I'll say it again. Both of us will not take the lead. I'll find another unit to do it. Don't reveal anything."
He still planned to use the name of the education foundation to do it.
"No problem." Liu Chuanqi was used to Li He's attitude.
Dong Hao came first. Li He let him rest for a day before sending He Fang and her family back.
Ding Shiping came later. Wang Yulan always felt that she did not have a good time at home. When she went out, she did not even have someone to talk to. But she had no choice. Li Pei and the rest had to go back to school.
Li Zhaokun did not want to go back. It was too good to be a local tyrant at home!
In this small piece of land, from the village to the town, even the county officials wanted to befriend him. This made him feel good! He had the feeling of having friends all over the world!
He was willing to go back, mainly because he could not let go of his yacht business. No matter how comfortable his life at home was, he still had to earn money!
The originally lively family left quickly, leaving only Li He alone.
He did not stay idle. He needed a shell company to be the legal person of the education foundation.
The foundation was a non-profit organization with independent civil rights and obligations. It was not suitable for Dida Group or Golden Deer Group to be the legal person.
Although he had the final say in these companies, Guo Dongyun, Yu Dehua, and Shen Daoru were still shareholders. He did not feel that it was inappropriate for him to ask for it once or twice. But since he asked Sun Softin to mess with Umehara Moji, he felt that he should not impose his personal grudges on others.
Sometimes the result was good, but it did not mean that the process was right.
He remembered that he did have a company with him as the legal person: Wanbei Renewable Resources Limited.
When Li Long started the waste station, he did it in the name of this company. But as his scale grew, the legal person was still Li He. It was inconvenient for him to use it himself, so he had already registered his own company. So, the Wanbei Renewable Resources Limited was actually an empty shell.
This was just right. It saved Li He the trouble of registering and changing it. He could just use it.
Anyway, it was the only company under his name. It was not good for him to invest 500 million yuan in it.
He would slowly gather some resources under the name of this company, so it would not look too bad.
It did not take long for the China Unilever Foundation, with Wanbei Renewable Resources Limited as the donor director, to come out.
As for Unilever University, there was still no sign of it. This made Li He very discouraged. He decided to go back and find some influential people to apply together.
"Pujiang Unilever Company is suing us for trademark infringement." Qi Hua, who first went north and then hurried south, not only brought Li He the relevant documents of the foundation, but also an indictment.
Li He pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "Just let them sue. There's a first come, first served rule, right? I will let you be the president of this foundation. Of course, it is only temporary. Is there a problem? "
In the past, he asked Pan Song to grab a lot of trademarks, but because many of them were not renewed, they were taken by others. However, there were still a few left in his hands, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Unilever, and other trademarks. He did not miss any of them.
"I'm fine, Mr. Li." Qi Hua already had this psychological expectation before he came, because he was the legal person of the foundation.
Li He nodded, "So, you have to find the right person. The salary of this position is certainly not low, but it also needs to be ambitious or talented in this field. I know that your ambition is in the business field. "
"Thank you, Mr. Li. I will do it as soon as possible." Qi Hua breathed a sigh of relief. The title of the president of the foundation sounded good, but no matter how high the salary was, it was still within the legal range of the country. It was impossible to make a fortune, and he certainly could not waste it.
"Right now, you have to do two things. The first is to repair the road of Honghe Bridge, and the second is to make an effective donation to our city's education system. Renovation of dangerous buildings, subsidies for teachers, you can find someone to discuss these." Li He spread out his hands and said confidently, "Because I don't understand it."
In the following days, Li He drove the van and often strolled here and there. He really could not think of any outstanding local industry that was worth developing.
