Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 282: Return Banquet

The next event followed the usual protocol. Two couples sat face to face at the table, eating and chatting. At first glance, they seemed quite happy.

After dinner, Lin Meizhu received a signal from Yun Guotao and took her daughter upstairs to have a private conversation, then packed up the remaining luggage.

The father-in-law and son-in-law went to the study.

"Oh, you're thoughtful," Yun Guotao said, holding the cigar humidor given by Li Mubai and looking at the displayed humidity and temperature, showing a satisfied expression.

"It's been about five years. The appearance and taste are at their best. Give it a try," Li Mubai knew that Yun Guotao was a seasoned cigar enthusiast, and these high-end and expensive cigars were his favorites.

It is worth mentioning that in the original work, I only highlighted the boss's dominant style. In a few descriptions of Yun Guotao, I casually mentioned that he smoked cigars.

But a few days ago, I realized how deep the ritual of smoking cigars is when I went to a cigar shop myself.

It is completely different from smoking cigarettes in terms of concept.

Not only are there various considerations when smoking, but even the maintenance must be meticulous. There are so many rules that it is dazzling.

Yun Guotao picked up one, used a delicate cigar cutter to cut off the end of the cigar box, and cut about three-quarters of a circular hole. Then he lit it with a butane lighter and handed it to Li Mubai with a smile, saying, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"I'm still used to smoking this. The taste is too strong for me," Li Mubai took out his cigarette case and shook it.

"Young man, try something new," Yun Guotao didn't mind. He took a sip in his mouth, savored it for a while, and then exhaled. He lowered his eyes and said softly, "In fact, I started smoking cigars not to show off or for status. It was just that when my late wife was alive, she always complained that I smoked too much while working, which was harmful to my health. So she forced me to switch to this, at least it doesn't affect the lungs."

Li Mubai smoked without saying a word, but he noticed that at this moment, Yun Guotao's eyes showed an extremely contradictory tenderness.

It was like a warm memory of his beloved wife, a respect for his deceased wife. Perhaps this despicable person still had a spark of humanity left.

After all, his late wife had once been affectionate and supportive, and she was not comparable to Lin Meizhu's materialistic eyes.

But these emotions were fleeting. In the blink of an eye, Yun Guotao returned to his incredible posture and said, "By the way, today you and Xiaoyue, your mother, should go and pay respects to your father, right?"

Li Mubai nodded. Although he had no feelings for the old man he had never met, it was always uncomfortable to see Chen Ping's sadness in front of the tombstone.

"The deceased has passed away. We, the living, should look forward more diligently," Yun Guotao said, seemingly heavy-hearted.

However, now he was solely focused on how to attack his father-in-law, Li Dashao. Even if Yun Guotao shed crocodile tears, he wouldn't care.

"Alright, let's not talk about these troublesome matters. Let's talk about the good things in front of us," Yun Guotao changed the topic abruptly, twirling the cigar in his hand, and said with renewed vigor, "As I mentioned earlier, the retirement fund project is about to start. Once the land is secured, we will start operations immediately. I have already discussed with your mother and the others. Based on the share ratio, we have established an independent company dedicated to the construction of the retirement fund. I plan to let you take charge as the frontline leader. This is also an opportunity for you to gain experience."
