Siheyuan starts a 100,000-acre farm
Chapter 342: Money? Time?
Qiao Zuwang seemed completely unaware of how humble his behavior was. He was only concerned with trying to please Li Aiguo, hoping to gain his favor.
However, Qiao Simei saw it clearly, and her heart was filled with pain and helplessness.
She would rather her father stand up straight and maintain a little self-respect than to see him fawning like this without any bottom line.
In this way, at least she can hold her head up in front of Li Aiguo, and she won't be too humble.
After all, Li Aiguo's conditions are so good that he is simply the dream of hundreds of thousands of girls.
At this moment, Qiao Simei was feeling embarrassed like a surging tide. Her face turned red and she didn't know where to put her hands.
Li Aiguo also felt uncomfortable because of Qiao Zuwang's flattery. The smile on his lips was a little stiff, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Qiao Zuwang's flattery was so low-level and without any level at all that people had no desire to listen to it.
However, considering that Qiao Zuwang was Qiao Simei's father, Li Aiguo tried his best to remain polite and said with a smile:
"Uncle, please don't say that. These dishes are already very good. I'm really not picky about food."
Hearing Li Aiguo's words, Qiao Simei almost rolled her eyes. She muttered to herself:
Come on! You are not picky about food? Who would believe that? You are not picky about food, but you eat tribute rice and drink mountain spring water for every meal? And you say that mountain spring water contains organic substances and minerals.
After all, as Li Aiguo's secretary, she knows Li Aiguo very well.
Li Aiguo has extremely high requirements for food and will be extremely picky if he is not satisfied with the food.
He had every meal carefully prepared by top chefs, and was extremely particular about the quality of the ingredients. He insisted on eating tribute rice, drinking mountain spring water, and even eating organic vegetables.
In this era, food safety is indeed very good, and people do not have a very strong concept of organic vegetables.
What people don’t realize is that this strict pursuit of food safety is actually a persistence in life safety.
But Li Aiguo came from the 21st century, so he certainly understands the importance of food safety.
Therefore, I specially rented a farm, without using any chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and grew some of the things I like to eat.
"It's good not to be picky about food... It's good not to be picky about food...,"
Qiao Zuwang's voice became a little hoarse. He used to be eloquent, but now he could only repeat this sentence over and over again, as if he had become a slow-witted idiot.
Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang also looked at Li Aiguo with dull eyes, as if they were overwhelmed by Qiao Sanli's words.
They couldn't understand why Li Aiguo, also a young man, could achieve success and become the richest man in China, while they were struggling with daily food and clothing.
Qiao Yicheng felt a little relieved, after all, he was admitted to graduate school. However, Qiao Erqiang was an ordinary person, and his future looked uncertain.
Qiao Yicheng couldn't help but think of the efforts he had made, those hours of studying day and night, but now all of them seemed meaningless.
He originally thought that a postgraduate degree would bring him a better life, but now it seems that compared with Li Aiguo's achievements, his efforts are so insignificant.
There was a hint of despair in Qiao Erqiang's eyes, and he felt like a man abandoned by fate.
He looked at his hands silently, thinking about his future, his heart full of helplessness and confusion.
The whole scene seemed to be shrouded in a heavy atmosphere. No one spoke, only Qiao Zuwang's repetitive words echoed in the air.
This family, once full of hope, is now overwhelmed by the gap in reality.
At this time, Li Aiguo also felt that he could not stay here any longer. It was a bit inappropriate. After all, the atmosphere was too awkward and the air seemed to be frozen.
So, Li Aiguo slowly stood up, stared at Qiao Simei, and said softly:
"I want to go around the area and see if there's anything new, and invest in it. Do you want to join me?"
There seemed to be some deep meaning in his tone, and a hint of expectation in his eyes.
After all, Li Aiguo is a man with a strong self-esteem. He wants to ask Qiao Simei out for a private chat, but he is embarrassed to express his feelings directly.
His heart was full of contradictions, and he hoped that Qiao Simei could understand what he meant.
However, Qiao Simei's response made him feel even more embarrassed. She smiled slightly and said lightly:
"I won't go over. You should go by yourself. After all, as a big boss like you, you are always surrounded by people! As long as you ask, there will be a lot of people who want to accompany you, right?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, obviously hinting at what was going on between Li Aiguo, Yueyue and Tiantian.
Qiao Simei glanced at Li Aiguo, her eyes seemed to say:
"Do you think I've forgotten that? I'm a vengeful person."
There was dissatisfaction and a hint of stubbornness in her expression.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Aiguo's face. He didn't expect Qiao Simei to respond to him so directly.
He felt his self-esteem was hurt a little, and he also realized that his image in Qiao Simi's mind might have been affected.
He tried to explain: "Simei, actually I..."
Qiao Simei interrupted him.
"No need to explain, I understand."
There was determination in her voice, and she seemed not to want to hear any more explanation from Li Aiguo.
Li Aiguo sighed helplessly, his heart full of loss and helplessness. He had hoped to resolve the misunderstanding with Qiao Simei and rebuild trust with each other, but now it seems that this has become more difficult.
Qiao Simei turned away and stopped looking at Li Aiguo. She also had mixed feelings in her heart. She actually still had feelings for Li Aiguo, but she couldn't easily forgive his past behavior.
The whole scene became extremely awkward and heavy, and the atmosphere between the two became tense.
They both realized that cracks had appeared in their relationship and that it would take time and effort to repair them.
Of course, it might never be repaired. After all, once Li Aiguo returns to Sijiu City, he will marry Qin Jingru. How can he have the time to repair it?
Moreover, Li Aiguo is managing such a large company and has limited time every day. If all his energy is focused on women, then does he still want to pursue his career?
Also, he has a lot of women. If he treats every woman equally, or if he has to coax them all, he probably doesn't have that much time.
Maybe this is what many girls say, do you need him to have money or do you need him to have time to accompany you.
