"Wood Valley is the property of the Lin Family. After Lin Banshan broke the door, he no longer cared about the family's affairs. Of course, the old men of the previous generation of the Lin family were unwilling to give up. They begged and pestered people to enter the Lin Garden. They shamelessly learned from the Lin Garden and built such a place. "
Li Xiaotong rubbed the thick tobacco with two fingers and lowered his head. "This garden not only imitated the form, but also the spirit. Plus, the Special Administrative Region Government built a large entertainment area on the other side of the mountain, so it's very suitable for a family vacation. It's said that President Sieg liked it very much when he came for a summer vacation two years ago … Unfortunately, this mountain is not as good as the White Mountain behind Linyuan. Also, there's no airport, so it's not very convenient. Fortunately, there's a lot of clouds in the mountain, which makes up for some of the disadvantages. "
Xu Le took a sip of red wine and pursed his lips. During high-class occasions in the capital ring, the place he went the most was Linyuan. He often sat by the flowing water of the bamboo residence. He had a deep impression of the White Mountain under the curtain of night and the private jet taking off and landing from time to time. That was the first impact of the Federation's wealth on his heart. Now that he heard Li Xiaotong's words and thought of the noble aura he saw when he entered the manor, he thought that it was no wonder.
Li Wei did not know Li Xiaotong. He only knew that this gloomy young master was probably a big shot, but he could not imagine that this person was one of the seven legendary families' heirs.
He held the thick tobacco clumsily and lowered his head to listen to the conversation between Xu Le and Li Qishao. The two talked about the president, the private airport and other unfamiliar terms, which made him even more silent. He did not want to do anything inappropriate or say anything ridiculous. He could only enter the manor as Xu Le's friend, so he did not want to lose face for Xu Le.
It had been some time since he crashed into the top circle of the Federation, but Xu Le still had not figured out the brand or the so-called foundation of the coarse tobacco and red wine. As for the year, the rainwater, the pH of the soil, and the complicated relationship between the taste and taste, he was even more confused.
Perhaps it would have been easier for him to recite and evaluate the paintings and paintings in the room according to the Dictionary of Art Evaluation in the library. However, this did not affect him from taking a puff of tobacco and a sip of red wine. When it came to enjoyment, perhaps one could enjoy it at a higher level by knowing the reason. However, that was all he could do to at least satisfy the physiological feelings of his senses.
Placing the coarse tobacco on a large ashtray made of red brown rice stone, Xu Le at least learned not to flick the ash. After a moment of silence, he said to Li Xiaotong, "Both the Li Family and the Lin Family want me dead, but because of you, maybe the Li Family can tolerate me. The Lin Family … I've beaten up Lin Daohai and trampled over Lin Yuanhu. It feels weird to be a guest at their property. "
"This is an open business. A family like the one we grew up in will never solve all the grudges on the surface. " Li Xiaotong said faintly, "Everyone has to abide by the rules. Although Lin Daohai is brave and fierce, it's impossible for him to use an automatic rifle to sweep you away … In this world, other than you and Lin Banshan, who would do such a thing?"
Xu Le heard the hidden meaning in this sentence and smiled.
"Coincidentally, I only found out when I came. Lin Daohai and the leader's son who was beaten up by you at the banquet are also here. However, I don't think the two of them dare to disturb your mood." Li Xiaotong raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, "How many people in the Federation dare to mess with you now?"
"You make me sound like a playboy."
"Right, I didn't expect you to bring a little friend here. I was going to introduce some people to you today."
Li Xiaotong put down the wine glass and said, "Of course, they are all people with ulterior motives. They have some power in the S1 states. Apart from a few people who are interested in the little money I have on hand, the others are only here to make early investments. You can understand from this point alone that they are not really powerful people. At most, they are second-tier people. "
Xu Le understood. Even if Li Qishao was the second successor of the Li Family in name, as long as that beautiful Li Xiuzhu was still alive and didn't make the decisive mistake of the last presidential election, he would always be at a disadvantage in the competition.
"Your money is not a little money."
Perhaps it was because of Xu Le's sudden appearance that the old men of the Li Family, who had always been calculating, discovered for the first time that the Li Family's Seventh Brother had a vision for investment. In just a dozen months, the private investment fund that he could control had risen to 970 million yuan. This amount of money could be considered a great fortune anywhere in the Federation. However, in the eyes of people like Li Xiaotong, compared to the vast wealth of his family, it was naturally just a little money.
"I don't have much interest in those investments. I'm going to keep all this money for you." Li Xiaotong's face was grave and stern. His collar was neat and cold like thin leaves hanging on branches in a snowy day. "It is often stupid to invest separately. Although I haven't seen the Crown Prince you promised to introduce me to, now I am more and more convinced that just by investing in you, I will definitely get countless times more returns in the future."
Li Xiaotong said very seriously, and Xu Le also heard it very clearly. If Li Xiaotong could really win his personal friendship, in the future battle for the inheritance of the Li Family, those old men would have to consider the attitude of that old man in Philadelphia. Although it was certainly not decisive, it was a very important bargaining chip.
"I have only met that old man once." Xu Le reminded him.
"It doesn't matter. At least now everyone thinks that you are related to the Lees of Philadelphia." Li Xiaotong smiled slightly, and the coldness between his eyebrows gradually disappeared. "Some people are even guessing that you are that old man's illegitimate son who has been living outside."
Xu Le did not spit out the red wine in his mouth. He slowly swallowed it and only felt bitter. He shook his head and sighed. "The age doesn't match."
"So what? The tricks that the President and the Parliament are doing now are making those old men in the family very distressed. " Li Xiaotong said lightly, "The current Federation is no longer the old Federation. Except for that madam, who dares to face the government directly? Only that tiger in the West Woods dares to scold the officials of the National Security Council at the Joint Conference. Why? Of course, it is because he has someone with a gun. My family has always been very envious and has been trying to establish some kind of close relationship with the military, but there has been no progress. My side seems to be progressing faster, so of course they are happy to see it happen. "
Xu Le knew that the biggest problem the Li family was facing now was the gold fusion algorithm proposed by President Pabre and forcibly passed by the Federation Management Committee. However, he did not know what other path the Li family could take to establish a close relationship with the military other than himself.
At this time, Zhong Huoyan, who was brought to the room by the maid, finally put on her "clothes" and skipped out. The little girl came in front of Xu Le and held her chin with both hands. She blinked and said with a smile, "Brother Xu Le, do I look good?"
Xu Le looked at the cute little raccoon in front of him. He did not expect Li Qishao to find a way to make the little girl happy in such a short time. He could not help but feel admiration. The eight lotus-like young girls had already retreated, leaving behind only two who were in charge of the reception. Xu Le looked at the young girl with delicate features and sincerely thanked her.
"That's your circle. If you need me to meet them, I will come back later." Xu Le stood up and held Zhong Huoyan's small hand with her furry raccoon. He looked at Li Xiaotong and said with a wry smile, "My main task today is to play with her."
He knew very well that the party Li Xiaotong arranged today was not necessarily an attempt to drag him into a certain circle, but it could be assumed that he also had some intention of taking advantage of the situation. After all, his origin as the youngest lieutenant colonel in the Federation had already become a hot topic in the upper-class society of the Federation. If he appeared, it would definitely be a bonus for Li Qishao.
Li Xiaotong indifferently spread out his right hand, indicating that he could do as he pleased.
Looking at the back of Xu Le and the little girl dressed as a raccoon disappearing, he could not help but feel a little strange. Which family's child was this? Unexpectedly, Xu Le doted on her so much. Looking at the faint pride between her eyebrows and the calmness in the luxurious environment of the Wood Valley Manor, she must not be a child of an ordinary family.
But he never thought of going to the Zhong family in the West Woods. In his opinion, Xu Le, a guy with a military background, was very close to the crown prince of the Tai family, and was also carefully nurtured by the old man in Philadelphia. His fate was already very good. If the little girl was the little princess of the Zhong family, Li Qishao was afraid that he would painfully pull his hair and sigh that this kid's luck was already heaven-defying.
…
…
Xu Le took the little girl to the amusement park in front of the mountain to enjoy life no longer alone. Li Wei, on the other hand, did not know why he stayed behind. The number of people in the second courtyard of the Wood Valley gradually increased. Li Xiaotong did not have the time to take care of this unknown person. After giving a few instructions to the housekeeper, he began to seriously talk with the guests.
These guests were dressed very plainly, but if one were to carefully examine them, they would definitely be shocked by the handmade symbols embroidered with silk that represented money.
Li Wei didn't understand these things, so he just listened quietly. With the spirit of a small fry, it only took him ten minutes to clearly determine that the middle-aged and young people who were qualified to appear in this big house were not ordinary people. Except for a few people who were obviously as nervous as him, the rest were all big shots.
Being in such an environment, Li Wei concealed his nervousness very well. While sighing, his ears perked up. Especially when he heard that two of the fat people were big businessmen who did trade with Bermuda, the tip of his ears slightly trembled.
The only one who stayed behind was the young girl, First Lotus. She was quietly and innocently listening to a topic that she would never hear in the Federation Academy of Arts. Suddenly, she was called to Li Wei's side.
Li Wei lowered his voice and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is … Xiao Shi." The young girl was a little nervous and cute as she answered.
Li Wei whispered, "Can you give me a pen and paper?"
Xiao Shi thought that this man wanted to give her contact information, and a trace of pride appeared in her delicate and charming eyes. Although this guest was dressed very plainly and not like the others who were pretending to be plain, she only knew that those who could come here were not small people. Perhaps this guest liked to play this kind of game.
Thinking of this, the trace of pride between her eyebrows turned into gentleness and she said softly, "Wait a moment."
