Chapter 749

"Sigh~"

Li Ye sighed and said helplessly, "Of course this matter is my idea, but you must also pay attention to your attitude.

Since I said I'd let my mother make the decisions, you must believe her, and don't let her feel anything. She is not just a display piece..."

"Understood, understood. Mr. Li, please rest assured. We absolutely believe in Ms. Fu, but on this matter, we still hope to get your definite guidance."

After receiving Li Ye's affirmation, Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo were both in high spirits.

Pei Wencong currently had a net worth of over three billion; converted to Hong Kong dollars, it had exceeded thirty billion. In Hong Kong, he definitely belonged to the top-tier tycoons.

And if Li Ye's guidance this time was "god-like correct" again, then Pei Wencong would be the number one in Hong Kong, and even several old-school tycoons would be left behind by him.

After all, the richest Chinese person in the mid-1980s only had a net worth of four or five billion US dollars, and if you compared cash flow, it was even less.

Li Ye looked at the two "lackeys" who were hiccuping from being fed his reassurance, and didn't know what to say.

"Are you full? If you're full, let's go back and talk business!"

"Very well, very well. Shopkeeper, bill please."

Pei Wencong took out his wallet to pay the bill.

The shopkeeper looked at Li Ye strangely, as if asking, "Isn't this kid treating?"

But Pei Wencong had already handed over a hundred-yuan bill: "Hehe, I'll pay the bill, no need for change."

"How can that be? Wait a moment, I'll get your change."

The shopkeeper took the hundred-yuan bill and nimbly got the change for Pei Wencong.

Pei Wencong hurriedly said, "How about you prepare twenty pounds of braised meat for me tomorrow? Take this money as a deposit."

The shopkeeper looked at Pei Wencong and said, "I can't sell you that much. If I give you that much, many regular customers won't have enough."

"Then whatever amount you have is fine, whatever, whatever. You've worked hard, you've suffered, thank you!"

Pei Wencong had also worked as a helper at a food stall, so he naturally knew the difficulties of making braised goods. To ask for more would be making things difficult for others.

Making braised meat is very tiring.

Just like the plot in a TV series from later generations where the heroine, a wealthy wife, turns to selling braised meat to get rich after her husband goes bankrupt, it's almost impossible.

To make that flavor that drives surrounding competitors to death, it must be meticulously braised. But how labor-intensive is meticulous braising?

Before twelve o'clock at night, you have to process the things you're going to braise in the morning, and then you can't sleep because you have to go to the market to get goods.

If you're lucky after getting the goods, you can sleep for an hour or two, and then you have to start the stove at six or seven in the morning. You must finish braising within three hours, otherwise, you won't make it for the ten-thirty opening.

And within these three hours, you can't doze off; you have to control the fire and skim the oil.

By the time you finish selling at noon and in the afternoon, it's night again, and you start preparing the ingredients for the next day.

Is this the kind of work a delicate wealthy wife does?

Do the editors think she's just playing around at home, cooking a few pounds for fun?

Can you sell goods if you don't braise twenty or thirty pounds?

How heavy is twenty or thirty pounds of cooked food with the soup and water when it's being boiled? If you don't have a few pounds of meat on your body, you won't even be able to move those big barrels and big pots.

What's more, the flavor of braised meat is refreshing and can soak into the person working. No matter how you shower, you'll have the smell of braised meat on you. In the middle of summer, mosquitoes won't even bite you, fearing they'll be smoked.

For this kind of work, after half a year, a woman won't even look like a woman anymore.

If you don't believe me, go look at those women who make braised meat; which one of them isn't a fierce woman with thick arms?

Can a wealthy wife do this work?

Cut the crap! You might be able to get her to do aerobics until she's covered in sweat, but if you make her lose her beautiful face and figure, she'd rather die.

Of course, if she can use "technology and ruthless work," that's another matter.

After the three of them returned to Li Ye's house, Pei Wenhui and Li Dayong also arrived one after the other.

Li Ye found an opportunity to bring up the issue of their marriage, hoping Pei Wencong would give an attitude.

Pei Wencong immediately stated that he would not delay his sister's marriage and would not block Pei Wenhui's happiness with the excuse that "the older one isn't married, so the younger one must be a monk."

This made Li Dayong incredibly happy. He watched his own brother get married and have children, living a sweet and cozy life, while he could only watch and suppress his youthful hormones.

This is the mainland in 1987. Men and women who haven't received a marriage certificate cannot openly sleep in the same room. If someone with a twisted sense of humor makes trouble, you'd be socially dead on the spot.

Watching your wife wash her hair can be laughed at by neighbors; if two unmarried men and women get under the covers, just imagine the consequences!

After resolving Li Dayong's matter, Li Ye, Pei Wencong, Fu Guiru, and the other four started talking about shorting stories. They originally wanted to pull Wen Leyu in to listen, but she said she was sleepy and wouldn't listen this time.

Actually, Li Ye knew that Wen Leyu didn't want to make her mother-in-law Fu Guiru think too much. A daughter-in-law fighting for control of the household with her mother-in-law after entering the house is a classic, enduring drama. Once the gong sounds, it's endless.

However, this discussion took very little time.

Because everyone had done similar things several times already, this time they were also familiar with the road. It was just that the capital volume was many times larger than before, requiring more time for layout and more cautious contingency plans for closing the net.

With over ten billion in funds, if you rushed into the market all at once, you would be a bright target, attracting everyone's concentrated fire!

Big fish eating small fish can fill your stomach, but big fish eating big fish is even more delicious.

After everyone finished discussing, Pei Wencong and the others said goodbye, and Li Dayong also followed to curry favor with his future brother-in-law.

However, as he was leaving, Li Dayong suddenly remembered something and said to Li Ye, "By the way, Brother, let me tell you something. Yesterday, a Wu Kezhang from your factory came to me to purchase our factory's gearboxes, and I turned him down."

"Wu Kezhang?"

Li Ye was slightly stunned, then smiled, "It seems they can't sit still again. The bad habit of jumping on good things is really hard to change."

"..."

The First Branch Factory's new 130 is currently in short supply, the reason being the use of new engines, gearboxes, and other accessories, but the body and frame are much the same as the General Factory's 130.

So, as long as the General Factory gets the same engines and other accessories, couldn't they also thrive?

But they don't think about why such a good thing would easily fall into their laps?

And they're even trying to go it alone behind my back?

【Don't take me seriously? What are you thinking?】

At nine-thirty in the evening, Li Ye was hugging his wife, preparing to sleep, when Wen Leyu suddenly asked, "What did Pei Wencong tell you today? Mom was angry!"

Li Ye didn't hesitate at all and said frankly, "Nothing, Luo Runbo teased Old Pei for having several girlfriends, Old Pei mocked him, 'Are you envious or not,' and Mom's expression turned sour."

"Oh~"

Wen Leyu realized, "No wonder Mom told me that it's very easy for men to go bad! Pei Wencong is also an educated person, how can he be so philandering."

【That's right, educated people are the easiest to be philandering.】

Li Ye hugged Wen Leyu and explained, "This kind of thing is hard to say. I think Pei Wencong didn't meet pure love when he believed in love the most. Now, instead, he's become picky and can't see clearly..."

Li Ye and Wen Leyu met and fell in love during their prime, then smoothly got married and started a family, and were about to have children.

Although some people laugh at twenty-four or twenty-five-year-old parents, Li Ye and Wen Leyu both feel sweet and happy.

And ever since Pei Wencong failed to pursue Mu Yunning, his mentality had undergone a subtle change, enjoying the magic brought by money, but the side effect was that he was getting further and further away from pure love.

After hearing Li Ye's words, Wen Leyu couldn't help but curl her lips into a sweet smile and said softly, "You're right. Meeting love when you believe in it the most is indeed a lucky thing. If I had been at that time... hehehe."

"What were you like at that time?"

"I won't tell you."

"Tell me about it!"

"Get lost, go away!"

Old married couple, some things are still embarrassing to say out loud.
