Chapter 635: Talking with Li Ming about Xiao Long's matter

The next day, Yang Tao came early and banged on the door. I opened the door for her.

Yang Tao entered,

She directly said, "Jianqiang, I was very angry yesterday."

I then chuckled a little and poured a cup of water,

"What's up, Yang Tao? Yesterday, I saw you drinking happily."

"I don't like that woman Li Jia." Yang Tao said.

"Don't like, why?"

"Because she's too showy. I just don't like her. I'm an overseas person returning to my hometown to discuss investment, but they don't value me at all in their eyes."

"It's mainly because of Li Jia." Yang Tao said resentfully.

No need to ask, Yang Tao was outdone by Li Jia yesterday.

She felt unconvinced in her heart.

Women, they're always comparing themselves, especially beautiful women even more so.

"How much do you plan to invest? Last night, Tian Shi directly asked me. Yang Tao, this is no joke."

"To earn others' respect, you must put up real money. Yang Tao, if you now take out several hundred million to invest in this project."

"Then others will look at you, not just hold you in their palms."

This society speaks only by strength.

Those people are all worldly.

"They can't be easily fooled." I said, then drank a large cup of water.

"If I had that much money, I wouldn't be running to this poor backwater. Zhao Jianqiang, give me 400 million and I'll immediately invest in the tourism project in Xue County." Yang Tao said.

"Hehe, if I gave you 400 million, you'd have run off already. Enough, there's none. I'm just having you act to show that someone's already noticed this project. Moreover, it's a foreign friend."

"You performed well yesterday."

"You attracted them all. Yang Tao, I actually think you'd make a great actor, could become a big star."

"I don't want to be a star; stars are all worn-out shoes." Yang Tao said ambitiously.

"Oh, that's what you said. Yang Tao, saying that is wrong. Actually, we're all actors, performing ourselves in life." I said, smiling.

Yang Tao looked at me,

"Jianqiang, I don't like that woman Li Jia. You should also stay away from her in the future. Seeing her makes me angry." Yang Tao remained dissatisfied with Li Jia.

Are women's jealousies really that strong? I thought about it, but yesterday Li Jia didn't say anything to Yang Tao.

She just appeared more mature and charming than Yang Tao.

"About that, Yang Tao, you really can't ask me. I have my own social freedom."

"Yang Tao, if you truly dislike Li Jia, you can set her aside." I said tentatively.

"Set her aside. How?" Yang Tao said interestedly.

"That Cui Chengshan is Li Jia's backer, you understand?"

"If we poach Cui Chengshan, Li Jia will have no backer. In Xue County she'll be nothing."

"Yang Tao, I won't spell it out further; you just need to understand." I said, then glanced at Yang Tao.

Yang Tao pondered thoughtfully, then said nothing more.

I want to use Yang Tao a bit,

that is, to have her act against Cui Chengshan, thereby giving Li Jia a chance to break free from Cui Chengshan.

So Li Jia can carry out her work more reassured.

I also need to talk privately with Li Jia again about her matters with Cui Chengshan.

Yang Tao didn't speak, so I continued: "Yang Tao, let's go, we'll go discuss things with Li Ming."

"What are we looking for Li Ming for?" Yang Tao asked.

"About Xiao Long's matter." I said.

"Alright then." Yang Tao said.

After Yang Tao and I had breakfast, we drove off together from the Reception Center in Zaocheng.

We went straight to Da Heng Group.

Arriving at the front gate of Da Heng Group Company,

I first called Li Ming,

asking him to come down from Da Heng Group,

Yang Tao asked me why we weren't going up.

I smiled: "Not going up; going up would be awkward."

"What's awkward about it? This all originally belonged to you." Yang Tao said.

"That's all in the past, Yang Tao; we should look forward. We can't keep staring at that one point." My words had just fallen.

Li Ming came over,

"Brother, Yang Tao, you guys came, why aren't you going upstairs?"

"Your brother is awkward." Yang Tao said directly.

"What's awkward about it? Many people still miss you." Li Ming said.

I didn't speak, got out of the car.

Took out a cigarette and tossed it to Li Ming,

"Li Ming, how's your work with He Qing here?"

"Not bad, Xiao Hua treats me well. My house is almost finished renovating; once it's done, I'll move into the new home."

"Brother, I've been like this my whole life; as long as I have a job when I'm old and a place to lie down, that's enough." Li Ming lit a cigarette and sighed.

"Li Ming, sometimes, people should be content to be happy."

"Don't think too much; thinking too much makes you tired easily."

"When you have time, go home and see our mother."

"She's mentioned me several times." I took a puff of cigarette.,

"Brother, once the house is renovated, I'll bring Mom over. Mom can't live alone in the countryside either; I'm worried too." Li Ming said.

"It depends on Mom's opinion; if she doesn't want to, let her stay in Niushiling; I also plan to live there, Qiao Jie, and also go back."

"Next, waiting for Zhou Wei's health to recover, I want to bring Zhou Wei back to Niushiling as well." I said tactfully.

Li Ming took a puff of cigarette and didn't speak anymore.

"Li Ming, I ask you, do you know about Xiao Long and Fang Rui's matter?" I continued to ask.

"I know, brother, I'll speak frankly. I'm not satisfied with the girlfriend Xiao Long found." Li Ming said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because, I heard Fang Rui's family background is not good; her parents are both dead, and she comes from a rural background."

"What's wrong with this? Xiao Long and Fang Rui's relationship is very good. Xiao Long really likes Fang Rui."

"Fang Rui's parents died in a car accident; that's unavoidable. What's wrong with coming from a rural background? We ourselves were also raised in the countryside." I rebutted Li Ming.

"Brother, listen to my explanation."

"If Xiao Long had no job and didn't go to the city, it would be normal for him to find Fang Rui. But now it's different; he has entered the city and works under Tian Shi."

"To put down roots in the city, one needs support."

"That is, having a backing behind."

"Originally, Xiao Long had a backing; you and I could both be that, but now we're both finished, we are no longer Xiao Long's backing. In the city, he fundamentally cannot put down roots."

"If he can't put down roots, he can't achieve any results."

"Xiao Long's only available backing now is marriage."

"Find a powerful family,"

"to become his backing."

"Fang Rui's family simply lacks the ability to support Xiao Long's career."

"I think Xiao Long must break up with Fang Rui and find another girl to marry."

"Marriage is not love."

"I'm doing this for Xiao Long's own good." Li Ming directly stated his reasoning.

"I listened to Li Ming's explanation. Li Ming might be right. Marriage is also the foundation of career success. The old saying 'matching doors' means exactly this."

"If Xiao Long weren't in love with Fang Rui, if they had no feelings, they could choose marriage. But they already have feelings, and quite deep,"

"then this matter needs to be considered carefully; Xiao Long owes it to Fang Rui."

"We need to give Fang Rui an explanation. I personally believe there is genuine feeling between Xiao Long and Fang Rui, which can be seen from their behavior."

"Since both like each other,"

"Xiao Long has a job, Fang Rui also has a job; this union is also relatively ideal."

"Climbing high branches is easy to fall from."

"Actually, Li Ming shouldn't interfere in Xiao Long's love affairs anymore."

"Let Xiao Long decide his own marriage himself."

"In a lifetime, finding a lover who is truly compatible is extremely difficult."
