"Dad, surprise! It's me! Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
The child who had been hiding behind the chair stood up, jumped up and hugged Caius' legs.
"Why are you here? Where's your mother? And where's your brother?"
Looking around, Xiao Liyao should be the only one in the room. "Why didn't you go to class? Did you ask for leave?"
"Dad, you have so many questions." Little Li Yao scratched his head, not wanting to answer any of them.
"Tell me, where are your mother and brother?"
"Go study."
The little guy pouted and looked uninterested. "It's such a thick book. My brother likes it, but I don't." He couldn't understand it, but his brother could.
"Where are you studying? The lounge?" Caius's eyes fell on the lounge door, wondering if he should go over and take a look. But the child next to him shook his head and told him, "I don't know either!"
Their classes were rescheduled to today's class last weekend, so there are no classes today. They were picked up by Li Qiao's life assistant, a handsome uncle whom little Li Yao likes very much.
He likes good-looking people.
For Li Qiao, she has a lot of things to do on a daily basis and it is too troublesome to have only one assistant.
"What are you doing here?" Caius pinched his nose. "You didn't even tell me. If you had told me, I could have come and picked you up."
"No, Daddy needs to rest." The little guy said seriously, "I don't want to have a feast."
A feast? This little guy actually wants to have a feast?!
"You little bastard, I'll make you eat the feast—!"
"Ah! Daddy hits the kid!"
"I'm going to complain to my mom!"
He ran around holding his head. Caius caught up with him in two steps, holding up the back of his collar and smiling through gritted teeth, "Kid, what did you just say?"
"I didn't say anything! You heard me wrong, Dad!" The little guy pretended, his eyes rolling around, and his expression was exactly the same as when he was being clever.
Caius was stunned, then burst out laughing. It was really true that if you don't learn good things, you will learn bad things.
Seeing him smile, the little guy finally breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively asked, "Dad, are you not angry anymore?"
"Little brat!" Caius scolded with a smile, tapping his little nose. "Take me to find your mother, oh, and your brother."
"What are you doing? I'm here, why are you looking for mom and brother?" The little guy snorted, "I won't take you with me."
Hey, little brat, you’ve grown wings.
Caius didn't force it, "Forget it, forget it, Daddy will play with you, okay?"
"Hmph, I don't want to play with you." The little guy has learned to say one thing and mean another.
At this moment, Li Yao and Li Qiao were having a meeting in the conference room. Everyone didn't know why she brought the child here, but seeing that the child was so obedient, quiet and didn't speak to disturb others, they decided to talk about business.
Li Yao sat next to Li Qiao and found that Li Qiao didn't talk much. Although she looked a little cold, she was actually very approachable. Even when a group of people were arguing, she didn't even frown.
Could it be that I was distracted?
He raised his head quietly, his eyes fixed on her.
Li Qiao smiled silently and touched his little head.
I'm not distracted, I'm listening.
When the meeting was over, everyone left, only Li Qiao and Li Yao remained.
"Baby, after listening to this, what do you think?"
"Me?" Li Yao was slightly stunned. What opinion could he have?
"Yes, I see you're quite interested in this. You've even been secretly reading economics books at home. Just reading isn't enough, so Mommy's bringing you here to put it into practice."
The content of the meeting just now was about the launch of new products. The module that was cooperated with Xu Ling has been in deficit for the past two months. Some people below could not bear it anymore and wanted Li Qiao to terminate the cooperation.
No one dared to say it out loud, but in fact, everyone wanted Li Qiao to think more about the company and not just think about friendship.
Her friend named Xu has no business skills and no strategy. If she continues to cooperate with her, she will definitely suffer greater losses. She should stop the losses in time.
Although they are not too old, they have become experienced people. They speak with sharp words and are very powerful.
"Mom, aren't you angry?" Li Yao didn't know what Li Qiao was thinking, and watched her expression change carefully.
"Why are you angry?"
“They don’t listen to you.”
Hearing this, Li Qiao laughed, "I've already told them that they can give their opinions freely and I won't take my anger out on them."
"Oh." Li Yao nodded. This was a little different from what he expected. "But...what about Aunt Xu?"
"Let me ask you, what do you think? Mom will listen to your opinion without any personal feelings." Li Qiao looked at him with a smile. The more she looked at him, the more she thought that this child was really cute.
Li Yao thought about it, was silent for a moment, and told her what he was thinking, "I...if it were me, I might not continue to cooperate."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked carefully at Li Qiao's face, fearing that she would think he was too ruthless.
"Then why? Tell your mother the reason." Li Qiao was not angry. She even smiled and touched his head, encouraging him to continue.
“They said they lost money for a quarter…”
"It's that simple, because of the loss?"
"Well, I lost a lot and will continue to lose money."
"Aunt Xu's business isn't going well, and she doesn't have anyone around her who can help. She spent a lot of money renovating shopping malls in various cities, which is a bit... wasteful."
In fact, there was no need to renovate it, but Xu Ling felt that he didn't want the things that once represented the Huo family.
It's indeed a bit of a waste.
"She doesn't have a lot of money."
The key point is this, she doesn't have that much money, yet she wastes it like this, and there's no one around her to give her advice. She doesn't have the ability to do anything big, and it's just a dream to do something big. Li Qiao is not suitable to interfere in her affairs.
Now we are cooperating, and after the inflated profits in the beginning, they gradually became flat, and now they are taking a sharp turn for the worse. I don’t know when they will hit the bottom.
The little guy's analysis was correct.
Li Yao spoke quickly before suddenly coming back to his senses, feeling very annoyed.
Shouldn't say that.
In fact, Li Yao felt that Xu Ling had already obtained the resources and money of the Huo family, so he could use them to live a good life and would never spend them all in his lifetime.
But she insisted on investing it and lost money. Has she ever thought about what to do?
"Mom, will you still help her?"
He knew that his mother was a soft-hearted person.
"Zizi, you can see everything very clearly." Li Qiao smiled and took out a document from the drawer to show him.
"It doesn't really matter whether I help or not. Mom isn't the type to make a fuss. Your Aunt Xu, although she's a little anxious, she's already said she won't let us suffer any loss."
Li Yao opened the document. It was a contract. It was the contract signed by Xu Ling and Li Qiao. The terms were very unfriendly. It really made a lot of concessions for Xu Ling.
Li Yao didn't understand.
"So, Mom, what do you want to do?"
