Chapter 646
Selina looked at Li Li Xuewu with a strange expression and said, "You lied to me."
"When?"
Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and distributed the chopsticks brought by the waiter to the two of them.
When he handed them to Selina, he apologized, "We didn't prepare Western cutlery here, so you'll have to use these."
"It's okay, I know how to use chopsticks, thank you."
Selina took the chopsticks and thanked him, then looked at the dishes that were brought up and said to Li Li Xuewu, "You told me that your family was poor and living in straitened circumstances."
"I don't think so."
Li Li Xuewu smiled and said, "I don't think I ever said that."
"Uh..."
Selina was speechless for a moment; how did she say it at the time? It seemed he really hadn't said that.
Li Li Xuewu continued, "You misunderstood. This residence isn't mine; it belongs to the collective. Our family is indeed an ordinary family."
This sentence was a response to what Ai Ai Jiaqing had said to Selina; Li Li Xuewu definitely hadn't been at the scene, but since Selina had said so, Li Li Xuewu had guessed it.
Ai Ai Jiaqing tasted the food at Li Li Xuewu's signal, then looked at Selina and asked, "Do you believe him?"
"Heh~ The craftsmanship is not bad~"
Selina didn't answer Ai Ai Jiaqing's question directly, but her expression explained everything.
Just looking at how Li Li Xuewu's word was law here was enough to know the situation.
But since Li Li Xuewu had explained it that way, and she wasn't a child, how could she possibly be so pedantic?
Of course, she chose to believe Li Li Xuewu's words on the surface; this way, no one would be embarrassed, and it would also respect Li Li Xuewu's desire to keep a low profile.
Women in the workplace, especially those who have worked for many years, are none of them stupid if they can still be considered elites.
Especially those engaged in trade and finance; they are all shrewd.
Li Li Xuewu didn't care about their expressions and used a soup spoon to ladle soup for both of them.
"The soup in the capital is different from the soup in Hong Kong; not just in the way it's made, but fundamentally, they are two different things."
He placed the soup bowls in front of them and signaled, "Hong Kong soup can be the main flavor, but in the capital, it has to be the other way around; the dishes are the main thing."
"Are you very familiar with Hong Kong?"
Selina took off the hair tie from her wrist, tied up her hair, and lowered her head to taste the soup in the bowl.
Li Li Xuewu beckoned to the waiter, and after the waiter came over, he whispered something to him.
After the waiter left, Li Li Xuewu smiled and said to the two of them, "I know a little, but very little; it's mostly from text, so it's one-sided."
"That's already quite rare."
Ai Ai Jiaqing nodded and said, "From what I've seen and heard since returning, except for the coastal areas, and those regions close to Hong Kong, few in the mainland are familiar with the situation in Hong Kong."
After saying this, she sized Li Li Xuewu up and added, "If there are no other channels, I think you also..."
She didn't finish the sentence, but Li Li Xuewu understood, and it was indeed the case.
Relying on his own memory was useless, because Li Li Xuewu's memory had biases and carried strong personal perceptions, so it couldn't be used as a standard of reference.
To understand the current Hong Kong, Li Li Xuewu had found several channels, but the results were average; it was only on Ji Wang Weidong's side that he had opened up the situation.
Perhaps it was because of the foundation of cooperation that Ji Wang Weidong had taken a lot of information about Hong Kong from his unit for Li Li Xuewu.
If these things weren't from insiders, or even those with rank, they wouldn't be able to see them at all.
Because they were all collected by investigation department personnel stationed in Hong Kong, including Ji Wang Weidong, who was also about to become one of these people.
The data came from all walks of life, observing Hong Kong from a third-party perspective, without personal bias.
So understanding it was still very intuitive and concrete; now these materials were at the club, in Father Lou's hands.
Every day, the heads of the other four families would come here to work, doing nothing but understanding Hong Kong and planning the subsequent Hong Kong plan.
Li Li Xuewu never did things without handing professional matters to professional people; doing business, of course, meant finding those who were best at doing business to manage it.
Let's see how these once-mighty business tycoons gather together to dominate Hong Kong through radio waves.
Of course, these things couldn't be told to outsiders, and these two women in front of him were outsiders.
"You know, I'm still in university, and there's quite a bit of information about Hong Kong at the university; I've also learned a little, not much."
Li Li Xuewu replied modestly, neither losing courtesy nor letting them have a basis, which was that this person in front of them wasn't completely ignorant of Hong Kong.
Li Li Xuewu felt that Ai Ai Jiaqing's vision was very high, and she had a sense of looking down on the mainland from Hong Kong.
Although she was trying her best to avoid this situation, Li Li Xuewu could still feel it.
Hearing Li Li Xuewu's words, Ai Ai Jiaqing also reacted, knowing that some of her emotions had exposed her inner thoughts, so she became silent.
After several contacts, Ai Ai Jiaqing was a bit afraid of Li Li Xuewu; this young man was too sensitive, and many details could be observed by him.
Everyone has an inner world that is unknown to others, but when someone can see through you, all you have is panic and fear.
Who can guarantee that there are only angels living in their hearts, and no demons?
Selina, on the other hand, perhaps because she wasn't used to it, or hadn't thought deeply about what Li Li Xuewu said, only took it at face value.
At this moment, she was chatting happily with Li Li Xuewu about Hong Kong affairs.
Of course, what she said was only what she had seen and heard, and it was also based on personal perception.
But it was still fair—the good side, the bad side, including society, economy, medical care, education, etc.
Li Li Xuewu followed her lead and chatted, eating and talking, analyzing and discussing the situation Selina described from a personal perspective.
If there was something he didn't understand, he would humbly ask Selina for advice, and if he understood it, he wouldn't exaggerate, speaking very peacefully about his own views.
Such a person who is good at listening and communicating is truly rare; in the presence of delicious food and the right person, Selina unconsciously said a lot.
Including her personal feelings and family, as if she had really met a soulmate and wanted to express the happiness and frustration in her heart.
Ai Ai Jiaqing sat on the side thinking and observing, watching as Selina slipped step by step into Li Li Xuewu's language trap.
Language is an art that can make communication smoother and more convenient, but in the process of communication, it will quickly expose your personal information.
For example, now Li Li Xuewu knew how many people were in Selina's family, how many brothers, sisters, and siblings she had, what they all did, how many boyfriends she had dated, etc.
When Selina started talking about her embarrassing moments at work and various things in Hong Kong, Ai Ai Jiaqing glared at Li Li Xuewu unkindly, warning him to restrain himself.
If he kept digging, she was afraid Selina would spill the company's secrets.
Li Li Xuewu gave Ai Ai Jiaqing a helpless expression, indicating that this wasn't his fault, and he hadn't said anything himself.
Ai Ai Jiaqing rolled her eyes, expressing her contempt for Li Li Xuewu's shamelessness.
After eating and drinking, drinking tea and pouring water, the three moved to the living room in the middle; taking this opportunity, Ai Ai Jiaqing pulled the topic back on track.
Coming here today wasn't for Selina to tour, nor was it for Li Li Xuewu to fish for information, but to discuss business.
Eating is indeed not suitable for discussing business; only after eating and drinking, sitting down to drink tea, is it a good time to talk.
At this time, there was no need to waste time; Ai Ai Jiaqing said directly: "Can you tell me about your overall plan? I need confidence."
"Hmm... confidence."
Li Li Xuewu pursed his lips and nodded, saying: "Actually, there isn't much I can show you; either it's geographical limitations or traffic problems, and you can't run around the southeast, northwest with me, right?"
"Furthermore, there are conditions."
Li Li Xuewu spread his arms and said: "I'm very straightforward with you here; ordinary people can't access these plans, it's very difficult."
"Is it because of my identity?"
Ai Ai Jiaqing turned her head slightly to look at Li Li Xuewu, expressing her suspicion of Li Li Xuewu.
Li Li Xuewu remained silent for a while, and not answering was the answer.
But as Ai Ai Jiaqing said, cooperation requires a foundation, and Li Li Xuewu also had to pay attention to the way he did things.
"I can't show you more, but you already have a number in your heart regarding capital; let me simply tell you my thoughts."
Li Li Xuewu pinched his fingers slightly and said: "The bank will serve as the basic anchor, the port and shipping will serve as the main artery, the factory will become the basic point, and industries like finance and electronics are our development goals."
"Electronics?"
This was content Li Li Xuewu hadn't mentioned before; she knew about finance without thinking, as he could establish a bank and was going to Hong Kong, so what else could it be?
The electronics industry had just emerged in Hong Kong, and countries in Southeast Asia were also developing this cause.
The most active were South Korea and Japan, both of which saw the development of this industry in the future.
Wufeng Hong didn't do this because there was no foundation, but it didn't hinder Ai Ai Jiaqing from having this kind of cognition and foresight.
What surprised her was that in a place where even radios and televisions were luxury items, someone would have such a clear goal for the electronics industry.
Li Li Xuewu nodded and said: "This is an aggressive project; competition will become increasingly fierce, and the earlier you enter the industry, the more advantageous you will be."
Talking to Ai Ai Jiaqing had an advantage, which was that she knew a lot; you only needed to say one sentence, or even a keyword, and she would understand what you meant.
The dialogue between the two proceeded very quickly, often just a few words, and a question was discussed.
Selina watched, dazzled, and listened very carefully, but had a feeling of not knowing what was going on.
Watching the expressions on the man's face change constantly, sometimes serious, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes dangerous, not like the ease and humor when talking to her just now, but instead having the momentum of a big boss in Hong Kong.
What made her pay more attention than those big bosses was this person's youth and knowledge; no matter how intense or aggressive the words were, they could be said steadily, making people afraid to refute.
This kind of demeanor of a superior seemed to have a natural aura, which was very oppressive.
The frequency of the conversation was very fast, but the time was very long; during this period, the waiter brought a fruit platter, and Selina only then knew that when eating, this person had told the waiter to prepare this.
Dessert after a meal, or fruit, was just a habit they had in Hong Kong; Li Li Xuewu could consider so much, moving with ease between big events and details, which made Selina frequently place her gaze on Li Li Xuewu.
There was no way around it; excellent people naturally attract gaze and attention, and particularly excellent men can attract women's attention even more.
Especially men at work, who have the most mature charm.
When Li Li Xuewu had told Ai Ai Jiaqing about the preparations he had made in the mainland and had conducted preliminary communication on the cooperation between the two sides and Wufeng Hong, Ai Ai Jiaqing took the initiative to stop the topic.
It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to Li Li Xuewu anymore, but that the content of today's communication was a bit too much, and the progress of the cooperation negotiations was a bit too fast.
Li Li Xuewu was a dangerous person; if Li Li Xuewu was allowed to master the rhythm, he would be led by the nose.
Ai Ai Jiaqing didn't allow this situation to happen; maintaining a high-speed response frequency when talking to Li Li Xuewu was competing with Li Li Xuewu for the control of the rhythm.
But after a long response, she was already struggling, and Li Li Xuewu had already been able to master the right to speak on relevant business, which made her feel suffocated during the negotiations.
So instead of failing, it was better to pause and shelve it; anyway, there would be many more negotiations in the future.
Li Li Xuewu wasn't in a hurry for a moment; he wanted to use Wufeng Hong's name to engage in business and build factories, so naturally, he wanted the other party to cooperate with him willingly.
Especially since there was cooperation on both sides in Hong Kong, the cooperation in the mainland became even more cautious and reasonable.
Li Li Xuewu wouldn't think about taking advantage of everything, and even less could he become an affiliate of Wufeng Hong in the mainland; the two sides would eventually reach a state of balance.
Ai Ai Jiaqing was a very capable manager and an even better leader; Li Li Xuewu fully respected her sincerity, so although he won, he didn't press his advantage.
"Taste the fruit; the season isn't good, so I could only prepare these, please forgive me."
He pushed the fruit platter toward the two of them, and Li Li Xuewu smiled with great demeanor, which had to make Ai Ai Jiaqing feel admiration.
While admiring, she also felt deep wariness toward Li Li Xuewu; having a strong opponent wasn't a good thing, even if the other party was very good.
Selina was responsible for Wufeng Hong's sales business; Wufeng Hong used her because they valued her ability and appearance, and adapting to local conditions in Hong Kong was an experience summarized from lessons learned.
Selina didn't care about the specific negotiations; she had just been looking at the man, a dazzling man.
Changing from a workplace big shot back to a warm neighbor, and a warm neighbor with knowledge, it was really not enough to look at.
Ai Ai Jiaqing also discovered Selina's situation and kicked her under the table, which made Selina react.
Li Li Xuewu also saw the light in Selina's eyes; foreign women are brave, and those who like someone can express it more directly.
It wouldn't work in the country; traditional thinking emphasizes beauty that is both internal and external, implicit beauty, and restrained beauty.
Li Li Xuewu hadn't seen foreign girls, but sitting together and talking like this was rare.
Afterward, the three didn't talk about work anymore and returned to the topic of casual chat.
Ai Ai Jiaqing, however, didn't give Selina a chance to talk to Li Li Xuewu alone this time and took the initiative to take over the topic and lead the conversation.
After a while, Ai Ai Jiaqing, who had eased her emotions, stood up to say goodbye to Li Li Xuewu.
Li Li Xuewu also politely sent the two out; in the parking lot, when the three parted, after Li Li Xuewu shook hands with Ai Ai Jiaqing, when he shook hands with Selina again, he clearly felt his palm being scratched.
Damn~
Li Li Xuewu's eyes narrowed instantly; he was always the one taking the initiative to flirt with women, but this time he was flirted with by a woman, which he wasn't used to at all.
However, with Ai Ai Jiaqing present and Director Lou following behind, Li Li Xuewu appeared very calm.
Even when Selina gave him a flying wink as the car slid out, he pretended not to see it and just waved his hand.
After the car flashed past the gate and he turned back, he saw Director Lou's unkind gaze.
"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"So what if I look at you?"
Director Lou twitched the corner of her mouth, learned from Li Li Xuewu and narrowed her eyes, saying: "If you haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of when I look at you?"
"Am I afraid?"
Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "What wrong could I have done? Can you bear to say that about a good youth in society?"
"Hmph!"
Director Lou followed Li Li Xuewu as they walked back, muttering: "It doesn't look like a good person at all, yellow hair, white skin, blue eyes, like a ghost; do you like that?"
"I don't like it."
Li Li Xuewu said very insincerely: "But this is talking about cooperation; what does liking or not liking have to do with cooperation? And I don't have any private contact with her."
"Really?"
Director Lou hung her eyes and looked at Li Li Xuewu, expressing full suspicion.
Li Li Xuewu smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, go ask Uncle Lou; he knows Director Ai. Selina was brought by Director Ai and is responsible for sales business; what kind of contact could we have?"
"Besides."
Li Li Xuewu smiled at Director Lou and said: "My aesthetic is still very traditional; I don't like this kind, it's a bit uncomfortable."
"A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost!"
Director Lou pouted and hummed: "Just now I saw you talking to her with high spirits and dancing eyebrows."
"And, don't use aesthetics as an excuse."
Director Lou pointed at Li Li Xuewu and said: "What does your daughter Li Shu look like? She'll be like that when she grows up; are you going to be repulsed by your own daughter too?!"
"Joke!"
Li Li Xuewu also argued sophistically: "Could my daughter grow up to be as ugly as her? Don't talk nonsense; my daughter is beautiful."
Director Lou knew Li Li Xuewu was deliberately teasing her; could she not know whether that Selina was good-looking or not?
Although women looking at women will have subtle deviations from men, good-looking is good-looking, and beauty is beauty; this cannot be deviated.
She said Selina looked like a ghost, but in reality, if she really thought so, she wouldn't be jealous.
Director Lou now neither believed what Li Li Xuewu said nor believed her own judgment, chasing Li Li Xuewu with a series of reminders.
Li Li Xuewu also found it funny to let Director Lou say some jealous words to him; listening carefully, it was still quite interesting.
The two didn't return to the restaurant, because the lunchtime had long passed; some members had left after eating.
There were also members who chose to rest and chat here after eating lunch, and then exercise in the afternoon.
The time arrangement was all up to them; there were active ones who would come from Monday to Sunday and practice wrestling and other skills under the guidance of coaches.
This week, the basement renovation was completed, and the original silver vault and valuables warehouse were turned into a shooting range.
The relevant firearms were obtained by Li Li Xuewu and Wang Wang Xiaoqin, and they were mainly the main weapons used by the police now.
Handguns were actually the key; everyone came into contact with handguns the most in their daily work, so the most training in the shooting range was also with handguns.
Li Li Xuewu went to the underground training ground with Director Lou to take a look; the ventilation effect was quite good, Master Dou's design.
It was a bit hot at noon, and there was no one in the training ground; Li Li Xuewu took a look at the firearms with chains, and then went up with Director Lou.
Director Lou followed him every step of the way; the meaning was already very obvious, and Li Li Xuewu had no choice but to hand in his homework on time; if he didn't, Director Lou's resentment could follow him home.
So as usual, when the sun was high at noon and everyone was looking for a place to rest, Li Li Xuewu also returned to the office with Director Lou to rest.
Once the electric fan was turned on, it could cover up any sound; even if it couldn't cover it up, Director Lou would just have to endure it, and it would be fine.
Perhaps it was once a week, Director Lou was very active; the single bed she prepared here was made of wood, not afraid of making noise, and Director Lou was very well prepared for this.
This also made Li Li Xuewu feel the fun of various equipment and facilities in the office.
Office desk, office chair, office sofa, newspaper rack...
It is not recommended for everyone to try, because it requires high physical strength.
In the afternoon, Huang Gan invited Li Li Xuewu to the gym, but Li Li Xuewu had no interest, sat down with Wang Wang Xiaoqin and others to drink a cup of tea, and then left.
Huang Gan and the others didn't doubt Li Li Xuewu, because Li Li Xuewu's laziness had gradually become known to everyone from Wang Wang Xiaoqin's mouth.
It was past three o'clock when he got home, and he didn't go to the front courtyard; at this time, his daughter must be taking a nap, and Gu Ning was either reading or sleeping.
She was a light sleeper, and Li Li Xuewu would wake her up if he went back, so he went directly to the inverted room to lie down, and told Yu Li before sleeping to wake him up at 4:30.
Actually, he didn't need Yu Li to wake him up; he had slept for an hour, but was woken up by the sound of a truck in the west courtyard.
Because the inverted room had a window facing the west courtyard, it was opened at that time to facilitate observation of the situation in the west courtyard.
Now it was hot, so it was open, but Old Lao Biaozi driving back to load the packed waste to the recycling station would naturally wake him up.
Li Li Xuewu sat up and rubbed his face; Yu Li, who was standing behind the door of the room, saw Li Li Xuewu in the room wake up, told Xiao Yan, and came to the inverted room.
"It's Lao Biaozi who's back."
Once she entered the room, Yu Li explained, then went to the kitchen to fetch a basin of warm water and called Li Li Xuewu over to wash his face.
Li Li Xuewu also opened his mouth and yawned; napping is like this, no matter how you sleep, it never feels like enough.
When washing his face, Yu Li was just like before, holding a towel and standing on the side watching Li Li Xuewu's duck-like face-washing movements.
After handing over the towel, Yu Li asked casually: "How is Xilin in Jicheng?"
"Quite good."
Li Li Xuewu said, and after wiping his face, he continued: "With Seeing Gelin, hosted by a steady person who went with them, managing the recycling station's work."
"At this time, there are many mushrooms, few mountain goods, all kinds of business."
"It's just that there's been no contact, so I'm asking one more question."
Yu Li was afraid Li Li Xuewu would overthink, so she explained, and her gaze toward Li Li Xuewu was also a bit evasive.
Seeing her like this, Li Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "You're not unable to use the phone in the backyard; if you want to ask her, just call her, call at night, it's convenient to connect."
After finishing, he handed the towel to Yu Li; this was Yu Li's own towel, and he was familiar with the smell on it.
Yu Li said embarrassedly: "It's not that I'm afraid it's inconvenient for her, and I don't know what the situation is."
"There's no situation, it's just normal work, the same as in the capital."
Li Li Xuewu knew Yu Li was overthinking, thinking that the mission he sent Xilin and the others to Jicheng for was very confidential.
After finishing, Li Li Xuewu looked at Yu Li again and asked: "You weren't that close to her in the capital, why are you thinking about her?"
"Look at what you're saying."
Seeing Li Li Xuewu return to the west room, Yu Li followed, pouting: "We've lived together for so long, it's not like what you said."
Li Li Xuewu chuckled; he couldn't see through women's minds, good today, bad tomorrow.
Diliya was still close to Xilin, and she didn't see Diliya coming to ask him about Xilin's situation.
This couldn't be guessed or judged simply; after all, Diliya herself didn't stick to his side, maybe she asked through Old Lao Biaozi.
Or as Li Li Xuewu just said, she went out to find a phone and called Xilin herself, which was also possible.
Li Li Xuewu didn't restrict Xilin from disappearing after going to Jicheng; it was normal work order, do whatever should be done.
Letting Seeing Gelin go was to prevent her from being bullied, letting Ding Ding Wanqiu go was to balance those people on the mountain; the purposes were different, there was no other meaning.
Yu Li wanted to make tea for Li Li Xuewu, but Li Li Xuewu waved his hand and refused.
"What's wrong? Do you have any thoughts? Tell me."
Li Li Xuewu also saw Yu Li's hesitation and delay, and teased her with a smile.
Yu Li glared at him, pouting; Li Li Xuewu could say this, but she wouldn't.
Let alone Li Li Xuewu's wife was in the courtyard, just looking at Li Li Xuewu's family and the old lady, she wouldn't mess around with Li Li Xuewu here.
Seeing Yu Li's appearance, Li Li Xuewu nodded and asked: "Is it about Yu Zhe?"
"No, don't guess blindly, there's nothing."
Yu Li sat by the desk and lowered her head: "Yu Zhe is very good now; my dad even said last time that he has prospects, is sensible, and even knows to buy him wine to drink."
"Then is it yourself?"
"I'm fine too."
Seeing Li Li Xuewu ask again, Yu Li said: "Go to work, get off work, what could happen in the courtyard."
Li Li Xuewu understood, nodded, and said: "Don't worry, you have to lead the work here well, there will be plenty for you to be busy with in the future."
"I didn't mean that."
Yu Li looked up and wanted to explain, but seeing Li Li Xuewu wave his hand, she stopped explaining.
Li Li Xuewu also nodded at her with a smile; he understood everything Yu Li meant, nothing more than the meaning of staying in the Sihe Academy.
Previously, with Li Li Xuewu in the courtyard, she naturally had the meaning of home, whether it was the new house she looked forward to or the work she kept in mind.
But Li Li Xuewu left, and the meaning of her staying here gradually disappeared.
The house she looked forward to was there, the work was familiar, and the money she earned could support herself, but the people in the family were gone.
Just looking at the Yan family, although they had tossed and turned several times, they were now stable; seeing Ge Ge Shuqin sunbathing in the courtyard every day, with the third mother serving her, Yu Li always felt that her being here was a irony.
Li Li Xuewu was her confidence; Li Li Xuewu left, and it seemed the confidence to stay here was gone.
Although Li Li Xuewu had said there would be arrangements for her, she was still anxious.
If Li Li Xuewu didn't come back once a month, it would be fine, but coming back once a week made her anxious.
How could Li Li Xuewu not understand her meaning? When he asked about Xilin just now, Li Li Xuewu understood.
Yu Li was thinking that even if she left this Sihe Academy like Xilin, she would have a chance to be with Li Li Xuewu outside.
In this Sihe Academy, the protective shell of the past had now become a prison restricting her.
Even if she saw Li Li Xuewu, wanting to be close was impossible.
Regardless of whether others could see it or not, she couldn't pass this hurdle herself.
Just now, Li Li Xuewu was sitting on the kang, leaning against the kang cabinet talking, but Yu Li was standing on the ground, leaning against the desk, away from Li Li Xuewu, not touching him.
And the windows of this west room were all open; whether standing in the front courtyard or the west courtyard, looking into the room was clear.
In the west courtyard, Old Lao Biaozi was loading the car with the second master and the maternal grandfather; the "clanging" sound was always there, which was very noisy in the cicada chirping of summer.
Perhaps Yu Li had something she wanted to tell Li Li Xuewu, but at this moment, seeing Li Li Xuewu's understanding expression, she didn't say it.
Li Li Xuewu looked at Yu Li and said: "You know the club, right? The one Old Lao Biaozi often goes to deliver vegetables to."
"Hmm."
Yu Li looked up at Li Li Xuewu, guessing the meaning of Li Li Xuewu's words in her heart.
Li Li Xuewu nodded and said: "That side needs someone to manage it; it's very big and involves many areas. You have to exercise more and learn more."
"Me? What to do?"
Yu Li looked at Li Li Xuewu in surprise and said: "I only know how to sell things, or tidy up hygiene?"
"Heh."
Li Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "Did you know how to sell things before you went to the storefront? You learned a little bit, explored a little bit; just learn."
Yu Li looked bitter and said: "I haven't even learned how to sell furniture, how can I learn what you call a club."
"Take your time, just wait here with peace of mind."
Li Li Xuewu stood up, looked at Yu Li, and said: "The club has just started to be built, and the equipment and facilities inside are all being renovated. I will give you a learning process, and you must also be prepared to settle down."
After finishing, he gestured to the west courtyard and said: "I'll go over and take a look; you wash your face too, it's hot, don't get tired."
Li Li Xuewu's words were very heartwarming, but looking at him going out, Yu Li was still thinking about what Li Li Xuewu had just said to her, and her heart was in a mess.
She was not very willing to come into contact with a new environment, and it was such a big unit; as Li Li Xuewu said, to go and be a manager, she didn't have that kind of spirit.
Come to think of it, what she was most satisfied with and yearned for was the past: serving Li Li Xuewu to get up, get dressed, go to work, and then tidy up hygiene, do her own things.
Waiting for Li Li Xuewu to get off work, then go to serve him to wash up, wash clothes, and sleep.
During the time Li Li Xuewu got married and left, she was also adapting to this new life without Li Li Xuewu.
But obviously, she was still relatively traditional and conservative; in the face of new life and new challenges, Yu Li could still feel the pressure.
Looking at the towel in her hand, Yu Li turned and went to the kitchen to wash her face.
She had always been obedient, listening to Li Li Xuewu, doing whatever he told her to do.
Since Li Li Xuewu told her to wait, then wait peacefully; perhaps the outside world wasn't as scary as she imagined, after all, Li Li Xuewu was there.
Everyone in the recycling station was dependent on Li Li Xuewu's existence; everyone, Li Li Xuewu was their core, and also the bond that connected them together.
Li Li Xuewu was also using practical actions to connect these little partners together, and some people joined in the middle.
As these people joined for a long time, they were also gaining Li Li Xuewu's trust and help, and would realize themselves in this trust and help.
Old Lao Biaozi's life was much more colorful than before; if he didn't have strength, would he dare to make a move on the beauties of the Central Academy of Drama and the Central University of Finance and Economics?
Why didn't he dare before?
He dared to think but didn't dare to do it before; now that he had strength in his pocket, he wanted to try even with high-achieving students.
Come to think of it, Li Li Xuewu's encouragement to the big brother was also for this purpose; why can't a toad eat a swan?
Often the swans you see are unattainable; in fact, if you don't chase them, others think they are hard to chase.
When one day you see that the man next to the goddess is not as good as you, you will regret why you weren't braver.
Because you will learn from the goddess's mouth that it was because no one pursued her, so someone pursued her, and she chose.
Old Lao Biaozi saw Li Li Xuewu coming over from the courtyard and waved his hand, not asking him to help.
"Don't reach out, look at what you're wearing, it doesn't look like you're doing manual labor."
"You look like it!"
Li Li Xuewu pouted unconvincingly and asked: "How many trucks have you sent today?"
"Three trucks."
Old Lao Biaozi held up three fingers and gestured, then caught the packed waste handed over by the second master.
After straightening it, he explained: "The waste company opened the warehouse, saying they want to collect until the warehouse is full; it's not easy to wait for a big collection, so can I not send it vigorously?"
After finishing, he gestured to the warehouse and said: "It's been piled up for several days, this time I'm striving to clear the warehouse and get the capital back."
The second master and the maternal grandfather also refused Li Li Xuewu's help, gestured to the warehouse and said: "There's not much left, you have things to do in a while."
Li Li Xuewu had no choice, looked at Old Lao Biaozi standing on the truck and asked: "Is the pressure on capital severe now?"
"Not much."
Old Lao Biaozi waved his hand and said: "It's just that it doesn't look certain, and I don't want to press so much."
After finishing, he winked at Li Li Xuewu, and everyone understood the meaning.
Li Li Xuewu also nodded, indicating he understood; this was fine, Old Lao Biaozi was already very mature, and the affairs of the recycling station could be put at ease.
"He's slippery~"
The second master sent a bag up, then smiled and winked at Li Li Xuewu, which made the few laugh.
After a truck of waste was loaded, Li Li Xuewu helped out, bundled the truck tightly with ropes, and then distributed cigarettes.
Old Lao Biaozi struck a match, lit the one in the second master's hand, and when he got to Li Li Xuewu, he paused, skipped Li Li Xuewu, and lit his own.
Seeing Li Li Xuewu looking at him in surprise, he gestured to the gate behind Li Li Xuewu.
Li Li Xuewu turned his head and saw Wang Wang Yajuan standing at the gate.
The maternal grandfather smoked a pipe, didn't need Old Lao Biaozi to light it, puffed on it at this moment, narrowed his eyes and also looked at the gate.
This grandson-in-law was good everywhere, it's just... it's just that he was good everywhere.
If he wasn't good, could so many girls like him?
Li Li Xuewu was also surprised, took the cigarette out of his mouth, poked Old Lao Biaozi, who was grinning, and turned to the gate.
Because he was going to send waste in a while, the big gate wasn't closed when loading the truck, which allowed Wang Wang Yajuan to catch a good time.
"You're here, why don't you come in, why are you standing at the gate?"
"No, I just came to take a look."
Wang Wang Yajuan explained, feeling a bit uncomfortable being watched by people in the courtyard, and raised her hand to smooth the hair by her ear.
Li Li Xuewu smiled, waved his hand, gestured to the courtyard and said: "Want to go into the room and sit for a while?"
"No, I really just came to take a look."
Wang Wang Yajuan still felt embarrassed to go into the courtyard; she heard from her sister last night that Li Li Xuewu would bring his wife and children back to live every week.
It wasn't that she was afraid of seeing Gu Ning, she just didn't know what to say if she saw Gu Ning, which would be awkward instead.
Li Li Xuewu was very calm, gestured to the direction of the storefront and said: "Wang Yamei is at work, want to go take a look?"
"Hmm."
Wang Wang Yajuan agreed, but didn't move, just looked at Li Li Xuewu.
Li Li Xuewu understood; today was really... sigh~
"Come, it's cooler here."
Li Li Xuewu didn't take her into the courtyard, nor did he take her to the storefront, just stood in the shade of the inverted room.
This time Wang Wang Yajuan followed; obviously, she said she came to see her sister's work, but in reality, she came to see Li Li Xuewu.
Because Wang Wang Yamei was in the store, if she wanted to see her sister, she could just go over, why stand at the big gate and look at him?
"Is the literary and art troupe busy?"
"It's okay."
Wang Wang Yajuan sized Li Li Xuewu up and said: "Why are you dressed... dressed so young?"
"Heh, does it look good?"
Li Li Xuewu smiled and gestured, then explained: "Don't the young people on the street all dress like this? I'm also a young person, I have to pursue fashion."
Wang Wang Yajuan pursed her lips, lowered her head and wanted to laugh but didn't.
"Yesterday..."
Wang Wang Yajuan hesitated, looked up at Li Li Xuewu and said: "I'm sorry, I..."
"It's okay~"
Li Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, easily putting last night's matter behind him.
If this matter was said out loud, it would be awkward instead; if not said, the heart would understand, and the surface would pass.
Wang Wang Yajuan regretted it a bit after going back last night; she shouldn't have treated Li Li Xuewu like that at the door.
After talking with her sister, she knew even more that Li Li Xuewu didn't pay her any mind, obviously there was no such relationship with her sister.
Perhaps it was long-term longing, perhaps it was the guilt in her heart, that gave Wang Wang Yajuan the courage to come here to see Li Li Xuewu.
It was also a coincidence in time; coming earlier or later, she wouldn't have been able to see Li Li Xuewu.
For Li Li Xuewu's sunny smile, reflected in the alley, Wang Wang Yajuan only felt that time should not be missed.
"Wang Yamei told me you took care of her, and I haven't come to thank you yet."
Wang Wang Yajuan looked at Li Li Xuewu and said: "My parents are also having a headache about her, didn't go to junior high school, work is hard to arrange, mixing around every day."
"Alright~ don't talk about this."
Li Li Xuewu smiled, pressed his hand, comforted her and said: "Don't be polite with me about this, arranging her is just a matter of course."
After finishing, he gestured to Wang Wang Yajuan and asked: "How about you? Have you been okay lately?"
"Just like that."
Seeing Li Li Xuewu ask, Wang Wang Yajuan hesitated and said: "Training and rehearsals every day, there are fewer performances."
