Chapter 109 Surprise
After the college entrance examination, Lao Li took Li Yu on a trip.
After returning, Lao Li suddenly came to Tao Huayu and asked him if he had any projects to do recently. He also asked him, "If you find someone with more money in the future, you must consider him first."
Tao Huayu thought that Lao Li had encountered some difficulties at the time and wanted to lend a hand, but Lao Li said nothing and just repeated the above words.
A few days later, Tao Huayu's home decoration studio received an order for a new real estate project and handed it to Lao Li.
When Mr. Li signed the contract, his eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
Tao Huayu asked him, "Are you possessed by something? I've never seen you like this before. Seeing money is like seeing your ancestors."
"You'll understand once you have a child." Old Li said, "I want to ask you for one more favor. Can I let my son come with me, just as if he were here to play?"
"Play?" Tao Huayu asked, "You don't want a prospective college student to do hard labor for you, do you? You're so stupid."
"No," said Lao Li, "He signed up for a major in landscape architecture. I thought this home decoration also involves design, so I asked him to come over and take a look so he could broaden his horizons."
Tao Huayu was quite appreciative: "Okay, practice teaching first, you are the one who will consider it as a father."
"You don't know," Lao Li said with a bit of worry, "this child used to be too strictly controlled by his mother. He didn't have many friends and couldn't fit in with his classmates.
I thought, I will go to college soon, if I continue like this, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future. It is said that college is a small society, he has to learn how to deal with people. "
Later, Li Yu came over and lived and ate with Lao Li and the people from the engineering team.
Not long after the construction began, Tao Huayu went there and met the son that Lao Li had always talked about.
He is indeed very introverted and shy. He is okay when he is with the people in the engineering team. They are all Lao Li's brothers and uncles who he has known for a long time.
But when Tao Huayu talked to him, he didn't dare to look Tao Huayu in the eye. Tao Huayu found it very strange and thought he was cute, so he deliberately took him away to go to the supermarket to buy water for Lao Li and the others.
After more than half an hour of back and forth, Li Yu didn't say a word to him. Even if he asked, the responses he got were nods or shakes of the head.
Tao Huayu felt strange and asked Lao Li in private. Lao Li said: "It's nothing. These are just problems I got when I was a child. It will be fine once I get used to it."
Later, Li Yu went to a university in the province, and Lao Li took on projects one after another. During summer and winter vacations or short holidays, Li Yu would come to help and learn from Lao Li.
As they got to know each other better, Tao Huayu gradually became familiar with Li Yu. The kid was no longer as shy and introverted as he was at the beginning. He still spoke very little, but at least he didn't avoid people's sight when talking.
He also discovered that Li Yu was very unconfident in himself, sometimes even to the point of inferiority.
He cannot see his own strengths, but will magnify his own weaknesses. Sometimes, even if the weakness is insignificant, he will completely deny himself.
So in their daily interactions, Tao Huayu would always tease him, and as long as he did something a little bit good, he would praise him heavily.
To be frank, Tao Huayu has watched Li Yu grow up over the past few years.
Seeing him grow from a complete novice in the home improvement industry to being knowledgeable and knowledgeable now, and seeing him not fall behind in his professional courses at school and always being among the best students every semester, he will definitely get a scholarship.
Some time ago, Tao Huayu was dragged out for a drink by Lao Li, and the two drank until midnight.
Old Li was probably really drunk. He happily told Tao Huayu about his savings over the past few years: "Xiao Tao, you have to work hard. If your studio can get to a higher level, I can take on bigger orders and save more money!"
Tao Huayu was a little drunk and asked him, "You don't buy a house, a car, or a wife, so why do you save so much money?"
Old Li thrust his glass forward, the foam of beer swaying over the edge of the glass: "I, I saved this for Xiaoyu! I'm telling you, I've found out everything. For this kind of landscape gardening, you still have to study abroad!"
Tao Huayu seemed to sober up after hearing this and asked him, "Which country do you plan to send him to?"
Lao Li had already inquired at the study abroad agency, and he also checked online: "Country M, or Country Y! I've checked, the top universities are all here! Or, it depends on Xiaoyu himself, he can go wherever he wants!"
No wonder, Lao Li has been like clockwork in the past few years, basically taking any job that comes his way. If the two schedules conflict, he will choose the one with the higher price.
But you have to think about money. Whether it is country M or country Y, studying abroad is definitely a huge expense unless you can apply for a scholarship.
After drinking, before getting in the car, Lao Li emphasized to Tao Huayu: "Don't tell Xiaoyu about this! Brother, I am just too happy and can't hold it in. I want to find someone to talk to. When the time comes, I will give him a surprise!"
Tao Huayu didn’t know how to comment for a moment. What kind of surprises would there be between a father and his son?
On the day they went to Taoyuan, Tao Huayu heard about Wenxi's collaboration with Porcelain, a big brand from country Y, and that Porcelain's young master was coming to visit the gardens, so she wanted Li Yu to be a tour guide for a few days.
This happened to be Li Yu's major, not to mention that it was something he loved very much. But what Tao Huayu didn't expect was that Li Yu actually refused, and no one could persuade him to do so.
Tao Huayu thought of the study abroad plan that Lao Li had planned for him. He felt that studying abroad would mean dealing with foreigners, and now was a good opportunity.
He couldn't tell Li Yu about how Old Li saved money, so he could only say that it was hard work. Sure enough, he saw Li Yu wavering.
Finally, when Li Yu finally made up his mind to go with Wen Xi, he breathed a sigh of relief. He then looked up the term Porcelain and "young master" on the Internet, and then told Lao Li about the relevant "knowledge" he had learned at the last minute.
Old Li was so happy - when Li Yu called him to tell him about it, he just thought it was a part-time job "matching his professional background" introduced by Liu Wangxue's friend and didn't think much about it. But after hearing what Tao Huayu said, he suddenly felt it was very impressive.
He even called Liu Nanshan and thanked him so much that Liu Nanshan was confused. The two chatted for a long time before Liu Nanshan understood what he was saying.
Then Lao Li enthusiastically wanted to invite Liu Nanshan for a drink, but Liu Nanshan was still in his hometown, so he said that when they returned to Qiu Shui Town, the two brothers would definitely have a good drink together.
I, Hu Hansan, am back again! (End of this chapter)
