Chapter 1083 Yes, Mr. An!
When Li Xiangnan opened his eyes, the warm sunlight was already shining on the windowsill. The autumn morning was already a little chilly. He reached out and touched the pillow, and found that Ruobai had already gotten up. He looked at the watch and it was already past eight o'clock.
Today is a rare day off. Apart from going to Yijiangnan for lunch with Jian Jingzhe to chat about the Hong Kong company's affairs, there are no special plans for the whole day, so he is much more relaxed.
She got up slowly and dressed. Just as she put on her shoes, the door opened. She saw Qin Ruobai coming in with a dustpan full of cloth, and she smiled and said, "I got up late!"
"It's not late. I know you've been busy lately, so I didn't wake you up because I wanted you to sleep a little longer!" Qin Ruobai smiled and came over to help him straighten his collar, and asked with concern, "Do you have a headache?"
"It's OK! The Pueraria lobata hangover pills my dad made are very effective! I always carry them with me!" Li Xiangnan explained with a smile. Seeing the dustpan on the table, he asked curiously, "What is that for?"
"After Brother Yuejin got engaged, Aunt Lu started making tiger-head shoes and baby clothes. I also want to learn from her. We will have children in the future, so it’s better to prepare in advance!" Qin Ruobai smiled sweetly, looking at the winnowing basket with longing in her eyes.
"Then my darling's hands will grow ugly calluses!" Li Xiangnan tucked her hair behind her ears, feeling both distressed and proud.
"For our baby, it's all worth it!" Qin Ruobai smiled and pushed him to wash up. "Defa and Lei Ge are already having breakfast, you should hurry up too!"
"Know it!"
Li Xiangnan took the wash basin she handed over and went out. As expected, he saw Defa and Lei Jin sitting at the door of Liang Mei's house, sipping porridge with a snort. He brushed his teeth and joked with them, "If I hadn't gone out, I would have thought that two pigs were fighting! They're sucking the rut!"
"Xiao Li, you have a very sharp tongue! Don't drink the porridge later!" Wang Defa glared at him, went into the house to get another bowl and sat down, happily telling Li Dequan in the house that he would play chess with him later.
Li Dequan answered yes, went out, glanced at Li Xiangnan, smiled and went back into the house.
Knowing that his grandfather probably had something to tell him, Li Xiangnan quickly brushed his teeth, put the washbasin on the firewood pile, and went into the house. He took out a steamed bun for Lei Jin, went into the house to get a bowl of porridge, and then asked, "Grandpa, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Nothing!" Li Dequan squeezed the tobacco into the pipe, lit it slowly, and then said quietly: "I just want to ask if you are free on the 11th?"
"Grandpa, of course I'm free!"
"That's fine!" Li Dequan nodded without elaborating.
Li Xiangnan scratched his head and waited for a while. Seeing that his grandfather didn't continue, he felt a little strange.
"Little Li!"
At this time, a shout came from the middle courtyard, followed by the sound of many footsteps coming into the backyard.
Being interrupted like this, Li Xiangnan naturally couldn't say anything to his grandfather Li Dequan, and quickly stood up.
Zhou Yuejin was seen carrying two baskets on his shoulders, and walking into the backyard with Wu Wanchun, Zhou Feng, Aunt Lu, the Chen couple in the front yard, and his own parents, all laughing.
"Brother Yuejin, what are you doing..." Li Xiangnan was a little confused.
"Xiao Li, you and Xiao Qin are the matchmakers for Yuejin and Wanchun. You gave a lot of ideas before and after their engagement. Now that it's done, of course I have to thank you! These are all thank-you gifts!" Aunt Lu diligently helped her son carry the carrying pole.
"Oh, what a happy event!" Wang Defa and Lei Jin also hurried over to continue.
The heavy basket is filled to the brim with things, which makes people feel happy.
Li Xiangnan took out cigarettes and passed them out to Zhou Feng and his son, and asked with a smile, "Has the date been set? When is it?"
"The engagement is on the 8th, and the wedding is on the 8th of next month! You guys should come over for a drink then!" Zhou Feng's face was full of pride. After he finished speaking to him, he smiled, immediately went into the house, and loudly invited, "Grandpa, I'm here to invite you to the wedding!"
Laughter immediately broke out in the room.
Li Fugui invited, "Yuejin, Wanchun, come in and sit down!"
A group of people came to the main hall of the Li family one after another. Zhu Qiuju poured tea, and he turned around and went to the next room to help the old man come here to sit in the main seat.
"Good boy, Xiao Li, here are carp, liquor, cloth, cigarettes, candy, towels and shoes. The Zhou family follows rules!" The fat man picked up the carrying pole and slung it over his shoulder, raised his head enviously to Li Xiangnan, and helped get the things into the house.
"When you get married, I will also help you prepare these for the matchmaker!" Li Xiangnan urged him with a smile.
"Damn it, Xiao Li, you are really talking about things that are not related to the topic!" The fat man suddenly lost his temper.
Seeing the two people enter the house, Wu Wanchun stood up sensibly, put his hands on the right side of his waist, and squatted slightly towards Li Xiangnan and Qin Ruobai.
This was an old etiquette for women in the past. Apparently, the Wu family was once a family of scholars.
"Miss Wanchun, you're welcome!" Qin Ruobai smiled and went over to help her up. He tucked her hair around her ears affectionately and said with emotion: "Brother Yuejin, tell Sister Wanchun that she is so beautiful!"
Zhou Yuejin put down his teacup and quickly translated using sign language.
Wu Wanchun didn't understand at first, but when he finished demonstrating, his face turned as red as an apple. He felt embarrassed and didn't dare to look at anyone with shy eyes.
"Hahaha!"
This scene immediately filled the room with laughter.
"Sister Lu, you found a good wife!" Zhu Qiuju praised happily.
"Qiuju, this is really all thanks to your son and daughter-in-law!" Aunt Lu also praised Qin Ruobai sincerely.
The scene suddenly became lively and harmonious.
Li Xiangnan noticed that the fat man looked for a while and then quietly slipped out the door, so he followed him out. Seeing him squatting by the sheepfold feeding the sheep, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is there sand in your eyes?"
"..."
The fat man looked up and glared at him with his red eyes, cursing, "Damn it, you always try to shut me up with words! You don't want to learn anything good, but you only learn this!"
"Have a cigarette!"
Knowing that this guy must be extremely yearning for the relationship between Wu Wanchun and Zhou Yuejin, Li Xiangnan stopped his "attack" at the right time.
Because he had agreed to discuss something with Jian Jingzhe at noon, Li Xiangnan stayed with the Zhou family for a while, asked his parents to keep a few people for lunch, and then hurriedly took Wang Defa to the scene.
When they arrived at Yi Jiangnan, they were led to a private room as soon as they entered the door, where Song Yi and Jian Jingzhe had been chatting for a while.
Seeing Li Xiangnan coming in, Jian Jingzhe patted the documents on the table and said with a smile: "I borrowed 50,000 pounds and circulated it through the company's account. The registered capital was bypassed. I finally got your business done! Tell me, how do you thank me?"
Li Xiangnan waved his hand, asked someone to bring a bottle of Moutai, and opened the bottle without saying a word.
"Miss Jingzhe, if you are willing, I can give you 20% of the shares..."
"Oh?" Jian Jingzhe's eyes were shaken, and he was relieved and curious: "I want to know what I can bring to Mr. Li that is worth your price?"
Li Xiangnan smiled slightly and pushed the full glass over.
"Miss Jingzhe, 20% is just the base price! I'll pour three cups, and I'll give you 10% for each cup you drink!"
Jian Jingzhe was dumbfounded and said, "Are you kidding me? How can I have the right to own 50% of the shares of your company?"
Li Xiangnan said casually: "Miss Jingzhe seems to be very confident about her drinking capacity?"
Without further ado, Jian Jingzhe grabbed the glass of wine on the table, his eyes ablaze with desire to win, "I'm not greedy, I just want 20%, but you have to tell me! What do you want to do!"
Duh duh duh!
She tilted her head back and drank the glass.
Then Dudu drank two more cups, and finally raised the glass upside down to show his gesture.
"Miss Jingzhe is so straightforward! Then I will be straightforward too! Listen to my plan!" Li Xiangnan smiled and waved his hand.
Song Yi immediately shouted to the waiter, "You guys get out first!"
……
And at this moment.
A car suddenly came to the door of Yijiangnan.
A man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses got out of the car in a graceful manner. He looked up at the plaque that read "Remembering Jiangnan" with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely sharp.
This man's every move and even his breathing carried the gray-toned elegance of Monet, but when his smile spread over the highest point of his cheekbones, the lenses suddenly refracted fine, amber-like light, as if a terrifying beast was sealed under his gold-rimmed glasses.
Soon a man came quickly from the corner of the street and stood obediently beside him.
"Is this the first stop for Ms. Jian when she returns to Beijing?"
"Yes, Mr. An!"
"So it seems that the person she is meeting is Li Xiangnan?"
"It's not clear yet! You may want to rest in the State Guesthouse first since you have traveled so long. I will report to you as soon as I finish my investigation!"
"Since you're here, let's meet each other!"
The man pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and walked up the stairs confidently and calmly...
