Chapter 211 Construction Begins on Li Yuzhu's Family Home Hotel

Twenty minutes later, Li Yuqiu arrived in his car.

She now drives a car and lives a very comfortable life.

She got out of the car, carrying her son, and walked into the villa. After sitting down, she asked, "Sister, why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

Li Yuzhu recounted the story of her family building a hotel, saying, "Your brother-in-law and I will contribute five million; how much will you receive?"

Li Yuzhu said, "You know I haven't done anything since last year, just received some stock dividends from the company. I can only come up with one million. A hotel can't be built in half a day. If I don't have enough money later, can I bring in more?"

What she said was true. Dongqing said, "That's fine. This money definitely won't be enough. We'll take more money when we have more in the future."

Li Yuqiu said, "Let's talk about the future later. I can't contribute much to building the hotel, but I should at least contribute some money. I'll give this million to my younger brother; he doesn't need to pay it back."

Li Yuqiu has this one good point: she never haggles over money. She really doesn't have any money right now, but if she had the money, she would be willing to take 5 million.

Moreover, she has never valued money that much, which is consistent with her personality.

This type of woman never feels much pressure and can easily satisfy herself financially.

Dongqing said, "Since you've said that, I'll be magnanimous this once. Your sister and I won't make your brother pay back the five million we gave him. From now on, we'll let Mom keep track of whatever money we give him."

If the money is given to her own family, Li Yuzhu wouldn't say anything if her husband was willing to give it to her. But she was really afraid that her three older sisters wouldn't agree to it. Although they were married daughters, they were still Dongqing's own sisters.

She had been very generous to her family, and always felt sorry for her three older sisters. A few years ago, she only built a villa for each of them and gave them nothing else, but her three sisters never said anything about it.

Li Yuzhu said, "Dongqing, I'm very happy that you always help my family like this, but we are the family of my three older sisters. We haven't helped them at all, and they've worried about us a lot over the years. Can we go back and discuss this with them first?"

Dong Qing said, "It's settled then. I'll go back and let my sisters know. I won't treat them unfairly. I told them three years ago that I would give several senior executives in the company 1% of the shares. My three sisters are all senior executives in the company now, so they will each have 1% of the shares."

One percent of the company's shares is not a small amount now, and as the company's assets appreciate, the value of the shares will be even higher in the future.

Li Yuzhu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and the matter was settled.

Li Yuzhu's younger brother graduated from university last year. When he was applying to university, he was specifically asked to apply to the School of Economics and study economics and management.

After graduating from university, Dongqing arranged for him to work in the company, temporarily making him the general manager's assistant to his second sister, so that his second sister could mentor him.

Su Wei's younger brother graduated from university last year, and she appointed him as the hotel's deputy general manager. With her brother overseeing the hotel, her burden was much lighter.

The younger sister, Su Ying, has too little education; she can only manage one restaurant. Her younger brother will be her right-hand man in the future.

Two weeks later, construction began on the hotel built by Li Yuzhu's family. The hotel was sixteen stories high. Li Yuzhu just wanted her younger brother to have a better life. She and her sister were doing well, and she really didn't want to leave her brother behind.

The roadside restaurants are operating as usual. The storefronts will be demolished once the hotel is completed. This will be the entrance to the hotel in the future.

That evening, Dongqing and his wife drove to his sister-in-law's house. His brother-in-law, Ruozhiwei, had already returned from get off work and was cooking in the kitchen. He came out and said, "Sister and brother-in-law are here! Please have a seat; dinner will be ready soon."

The relationship between a sister-in-law's husband and her brother-in-law is called a brother-in-law relationship. This kind of kinship has several names, such as brother-in-law, sharing a burden, or being on the same boat.

All three interpretations of this kinship are appropriate. The two sisters are inherently closely connected, and their husbands are like melons on the same vine, indicating a very close kinship.

Li Yuzhu said, "Thank you, brother-in-law. Okay, we'll stay at your place for dinner tonight."

Ruo Zhiwei said "You're too kind, sister," and then went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Li Yuzhu took the child from her sister's arms and followed her sister to sit down on the sofa.

Li Yuqiu asked, "Brother-in-law, you guys probably don't have that much free time, do you have something to do here?"

In this kind of family relationship, there's no need to beat around the bush. Dongqing said, "Your sister and I haven't been to our house for several days. We came to see the children and also to discuss something with you."

Li Yuqiu said, "Speak, what is it?"

Dongqing explained his thoughts to his sister-in-law.

None of the company's senior executives are currently provided with official cars, and Dongqing wants to provide each of them with a sedan.

This matter should have been discussed at the board meeting, and it wasn't a big deal, so I came directly to my house that evening to discuss it with my sister-in-law first. If she agrees, I'll go to Li Churan's company tomorrow to discuss it with her and then order a car directly from her company.

Actually, this is just a process. Dong Qing believes they will all agree, and once they reach a consensus, they can directly order a car from Li Churan's company.

Dong Qing said, "Our company's senior factory managers are still riding bicycles to work. They should have been provided with company cars a long time ago. You don't have any objections to my decision, do you?"

Li Yuqiu said, "From now on, we don't need to discuss such small matters with the girl. As long as Li Churan agrees, that's fine."

Li Yuqiu is good in every way except for being lazy. Although she is a shareholder of the company, she never asks about the company's affairs. She is just someone who eats and earns money without working. Why should anyone bother to care about her?

Dong Qing said, "Since you've put it that way, it's settled then."

Li Yuqiu asked, "Do you have my sister's car?"

Dong Qing said, "Your sister isn't a high-level manager in the company, so I can just buy her a car myself."

Li Yuqiu said, "Brother-in-law, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but what you're doing is so unfair! My sister works tirelessly for your company every day. Is a job title really that important? As a shareholder, I demand that my sister be appointed as vice chairman immediately, because she is also a founder of the company, and she should have her own rights and status within the company."

Li Yuzhu said, "Little sister, why are you fighting for these things for your older sister?"

Li Yuqiu said, "Sister, don't worry about it. It's not your problem that the company's top executives are given beat-up cars. I'm speechless. Chairman, immediately notify Li Churan to convene a company board meeting tomorrow morning."

Li Yuqiu had never argued for anything for her sister, but Dongqing's actions today had truly infuriated her. She asked, "Are you going to notify them or not?"

Dongqing knows his sister-in-law very well; if she gets really angry, no one can do anything about it, and no one knows how to comfort her.

Taking office as the company's vice chairman is no small matter. Dong Qing said, "Girl, this is such a big deal. At least let me have a meeting with the company's senior management tomorrow to discuss it."

"You're not going to notify them, are you?" Li Yuqiu paused for a moment and said, "Fine, I won't ask you to notify them, I'll do it myself."
