After Li Yanqing withdrew from the table, the atmosphere in the restaurant became even more dull.Mr. Li didn't want Li Yanqing to go back, but after all, it was the New Year's Eve, and his children and grandchildren were watching, so he didn't want to embarrass the old lady.Anyway, the child didn't go far, and he was still in this city after all, so it was enough for someone to pick it up another day.Mr. Li knew that when she was in her natal family, she was angry with a foreign child, so she looked down on the identity of Zhang Mingyan's mother and son. Chong Yan has been here for more than half a year, and she has never asked to take a look at her. .

On this issue, Mr. Li has a different view from her.Be it Li Yanqing or Chong Yan, they are all from his son, from the Li family.Compared with the century-old foundation of the Li family, it is meaningless to value the birth of the concubine. The most important thing is to see who can make the Li family's lintel bigger.Ladies always have long hair but short-sightedness, they only have their own children in their eyes, and they care about trivial things all day long.Tsk.

Mr. Li took the wine glass poured by his son and took a sip, "Why didn't Chongyan come back to kowtow?" Li Yanlin couldn't come back from France, so there was nothing he could do.Worshiping the ancestors is such a big matter, how come Chongyan doesn't know how to come back to offer incense?He glanced at the unhappy-looking old lady Li, then at Cheng Yu who was silent, and said lightly, "It's fine in normal times, but it's New Year's Eve, and the old rules still have to be followed."

Li Chengyun hurriedly said: "This child is filial. He brought his grandma here as soon as he was on vacation. His grandma is not in good health and just had a check-up a few days ago. I guess...he also has to take care of the elderly, so he can't leave." Even if he could walk away, he would never go to the Li family's old house to celebrate the New Year.Li Chengyun was very sure of this.But he couldn't say that clearly. It's nothing to be disgusted by his son. If the old man knew, he might not be able to bear it.

Mrs. Li frowned, but didn't say anything, but she was thinking of a child who was raised outside, who had no rules and no rules, so there was nothing to worry about.If you really want to bring it back to the Li family, you are not sure how your relatives and friends will make fun of it.

Cheng Yu was also very calm.She heard from Li Yanqi that Chong Yan is still only willing to call Li Chengyun "Mr. Li", and she also knows that he has already started his own business, and he has already put on a full posture of refusing to return to Li's house, so she naturally has nothing to do with it. to worry about.I'm afraid Mr. Li and Li Chengyun knew it in their hearts, but they couldn't say it clearly, for fear of losing face.

After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner awkwardly, the old couple took Li Chengyun and Cheng Yu to the teahouse to play mahjong.A few years ago, when Mr. Li was in good health, every New Year's Eve, the whole Li family would gather together to worship their ancestors and then watch the night together.Later, Mr. Li was in poor health and couldn't bear such a toss, so it was changed to a gathering of the whole family before the year, and then each family kept vigil by themselves to try to be quiet.

Li Yanqi is not very interested in playing mahjong, but there are only a few people in the family, and it will be even more deserted when he leaves, so he is impatient and has to accompany him to serve tea and water.

Mr. Li asked Li Chengyun coldly, "Did you say at the company's annual meeting that you will reduce foreign trade next year?"

Li Chengyun recounted what he had chatted with Chong Yan that day, and seeing Mr. Li showing a disapproving expression, he explained: "Actually, I also think that Li's expansion has been too fast in the past two years, and it takes time to digest it. Once the foreign trade business comes out If there is a problem, it will bring great trouble to our capital turnover.”

Mrs. Li obviously didn't believe that Chong Yan said such words, "I can't make a mistake, right? How old is Chong Yan? You haven't graduated from high school yet, how do you know this?"

Old Man Li glanced at Li Yanqi who was sitting silently at the side, and shook his head, "I think you really value this kid's opinion."

Li Chengyun thought for a while and said: "He still has some eyesight." Not everyone can turn 200 million into 2000 million in half a year, and stop decisively when they smell danger, which is especially rare.

"Okay, let's not talk about him." Mr. Li looked displeased, "Both of you father and son are high-achieving business students, can't you compare to a kid who hasn't graduated from high school yet?"

The two top students, father and son, were silent together.

Cheng Yu pursed the corners of his mouth beside him, but didn't say anything.In her opinion, as long as Chongyan doesn't jump out to mess with her son, she doesn't care what he does.

At this time, Li Chengyun couldn't help but think a little bit more. Before Mr. Li urged him to take Chongyan back to the capital, he thought that the old man was getting old and cared more about his grandchildren.Now after hearing what he said, I feel that this is not the case at all, and even his two compliments on Chongyan can make the old man unhappy.That being the case, why did Mr. Li bother to bring Chongyan back to the capital from Linhai?

If there is no feeling for the grandchildren in it, then he wants to use Chong Yan to do something—what could it be?

After being a son for more than 40 years, Li Chengyun suddenly felt that he was a little uncertain about his father's mind.

Zhang Yuegui is a lively character, so during the few days of Chinese New Year, Chongyan naturally arranged some lively activities: watching performances, going to temple fairs, and went to the famous "spots" that the old lady kept talking about: Donglaishun and Quanjude.The old lady likes Donglaishun's pot very much, but she doesn't like the roast duck.

After wandering around the city for a few days, Chong Yan and Lin Pei took the old lady to the countryside again.The countryside in the north is dusty everywhere in winter, and you can't see any scenery.However, in the greenhouse of the flower base, there is a sense of spring, and all kinds of flowers are competing for beauty. Especially in Lin Pei's laboratory, when she saw a few finished orchids with flower buds, the old lady was even more surprised. She said that she had never seen I have never seen a black orchid, and I don't know what it will look like when it blooms.

Seeing his favorite Mo Lan again, Chong Yan is also in a very good mood.Some time ago, many counterfeit "36 County" bonsai appeared in the capital, which brought a big impact on their business. For those customers who came to ask, the shop assistants could only explain over and over again, "36 County" "There are only three flower shops, and the bonsai bought elsewhere have nothing to do with them.Nor will they assume any follow-up responsibilities.

Copycats have always been a big problem, and the patent protection for plant cultivation is not in place.Chong Yan and the others were quite breathless when faced with this problem, but there was no better way.But seeing Mo Lan, the fighting spirit in Chong Yan's heart became high again. After the Spring Orchid Contest, Mo Lan will be officially launched into the market!

What is a bonsai?There is a way to copy our Molan!

Chong Yan wandered around the laboratory, still feeling a little uneasy. He is a very suspicious person. Since someone wants to sneak into Lin Pei's laboratory, if there is a first time, maybe there will be a second time.Even if there are two wolf dogs in the base and a dormitory building around the laboratory, these facilities are really not enough if you want to cause damage.So what if there are cameras in every corner?It takes at least three, four, 10 minutes to come here from the nearest Public Security Bureau—a lot of things can be done in such a period of time.If something goes wrong, it's too late to call the police.

In less than two months, this year's Spring Orchid Competition will be held. Chong Yan sorts out the flower companies that signed up for the competition one by one in his mind. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that it is not safe to put Lin Pei and his laboratory in the countryside. .

But if you move to the city, there is no particularly suitable place.Chong Yan strolled outside the laboratory with his head down, and suddenly remembered the villa in the south of the city that Li Cheng delivered to him when he was admitted to university in his previous life.The environment in that area is good, and the security facilities are in place. The most important thing is that the place is big enough for Lin Pei to toss about.There are yards at the front and back of the villa, where Lin Pei can set up a greenhouse, and there is also a basement, where the entire laboratory can be moved.At that time, install a powerful door, and unless you go there with a tank, no one will be able to dig out the secrets of their "36 counties".

Chong Yan quickly took out his mobile phone and called Li Chengyun, "Hello, Lao Li?"

Li Chengyun, "..."

Seeing that there was no sound from the other side, Chongyan yelled twice, "Old Li? Old Li? Dad?"

Li Chengyun breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter?"

Chong Yan asked straight to the point: "I want to ask, do you have a villa in the south of the city?"

Li Chengyun elongated his voice, "Did you like it?"

"I like it." Hearing his tone, Chong Yan knew that he had already bought the house, and a stone fell from his heart, "The laboratory at our base was broken into a few days ago, but luckily it didn't cause any damage. So I want to give the technicians a safer place to do research."

Li Chengyun said slowly: "It's not impossible to give it to you..."

"Don't, don't," Chong Yan said hastily, "Don't give it to me, just say a price, and just treat it as giving it to me." I don't want to sell myself for a house.

Li Chengyun was so angry that he couldn't help it, "Little bastard, you have a lot of ghosts. How do you know?"

"I dreamed about it." Chong Yan laughed twice, "Please help me."

Li Chengyun really didn't want to care about him.

Chong Yan was persuasive, "Look, the villa in the south of the city is quite far from the Li family's old house, so it's not convenient for you to hide your beauty in a golden house, right? Besides, it's enough to raise a Xiaomi with a garden house, and the cost of the villa is too high. You Say yes?"

"Little bastard, you still have to make an inch, don't you?" Li Chengyun was overwhelmed by his anger, "Who told you that I want to use that place to raise women?"

Chong Yan snorted, "As for your worthless hobby, who doesn't seem to know about it."

Li Chengyun really wanted to drop the phone, but felt that he would look unmannered if he did so, so he was out of breath on the phone.

Chong Yanxin said that when talking about business, you have to be tough and soft, and you can’t make people really angry, so he softened his tone and said: "Well, look, I am talking about business with you sincerely. Don't be angry."

Li Chengyun let out a long sigh of relief, "Say something nice."

Chong Yan leaned against the crooked neck tree, looked up at the dark bird's nest on the branch, and thought to himself, why is this person so childish?

"Hurry up." Li Chengyun was impatient.

Chongyan whimpered and said: "Your old man has a good eye. Genes are also good. Look at how smart and capable your son is, he can speculate in futures, he can grow flowers and vegetables, and he is so handsome, he is almost on par with you." ..."

Li Cheng laughed out of luck, "Is this a compliment to Lao Tzu?"

Chong Yan was confident, "Of course!"

"Little bastard." Li Chengyun rubbed his chest for a long time, and said reluctantly, "I asked someone to deliver the key to you. Where are you now?"

"Countryside." Chong Yan was overjoyed, "Pay the money with one hand and the key with the other. You can negotiate a price. If the money is not enough, I will pay you in installments."

Li Chengyun was so angry that he lost his temper, "Okay, one price, 400 million."

Chong Yan couldn't believe it, "Really?" If there were only 400 million, he could still afford the money.His and Hai Qingtian's studio will not be too large at first, and the initial investment will not require much money.

Li Chengyun snorted twice, "I'm the first batch of buyers, and they got the internal price with discounts."

"You are so wise!" Chong Yan praised him from the bottom of his heart, "You see, I just praised you for your good eyesight."

Li Chengyun felt a little better in his heart, "I will ask my assistant to contact you later, and you can tell him how to decorate, and let him do it. The transfer procedure has to wait for a few days, and now it is Chinese New Year, and the housing management bureau is also on vacation."

"Okay, okay," Chong Yan decided to pat Mr. Li's ass for the sake of this house, "I'll stay in the country tonight and go back tomorrow. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back. You can choose the place !"

Li Chengyun felt a little satisfied, "It's not too bad."

This year has been unhappy, and Li Chengyun felt a little more at ease until now.
