"I'm here to see your boss, Li Yongtai. Is he here?"
Mr. Ai came to Li Yongtai at this moment, wanting Li Yongtai to plead for him.
Although she knew that the father-daughter relationship between Li Yongtai and Li Ke was no longer what it used to be, they were still father and daughter. Li Ke would listen to what Li Yongtai said to some extent.
What he did to Li Ming did not cause serious consequences, so he can pay some compensation to the Li family.
As long as he can keep his Ai Co., Ltd.
President Ai actually saw clearly what Li Yongtai went through after his bankruptcy. Many times, he used others to take advantage of Li Yongtai's misfortune. President Ai did not want to try this kind of difficult life after bankruptcy.
If the Ai family went bankrupt and was in debt, his eldest daughter, Ai Li, would not take on the burden of taking care of her younger siblings like Li Ke did, and she would not think about making money to support the family.
His daughter is used to enjoying it.
"Our boss is in the office. Who are you?"
Mr. Ai took out a business card and handed it to the security guard, then put it back into his trouser pocket. He would not give his business card to a security guard.
"It turned out to be Mr. Ai."
The guard smiled and said, "Mr. Ai, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and talk to the boss."
"No need, I can go in on my own. Your boss and I are old acquaintances. We worked together for more than ten years. After Yongtai Carton went bankrupt, your boss stopped associating with me. I know he was afraid of getting us into trouble, so he cut off contact."
"I know Yongtai has started a new business, so I had to come and take a look. Our company needs a lot of cardboard boxes every month. If possible, I would like to cooperate with your boss again."
The security guard heard that the boss was an old customer who had cooperated with him for more than ten years. He also knew that the company run by the boss before was a leader in the cardboard industry, but it later went bankrupt.
The factory doesn’t have many orders now. If we can cooperate with old customers and get more orders, the boss will be able to make money and will not treat unfairly the old employees who are now accompanying the boss to start the business with great difficulty.
After thinking about this, the guard said politely: "I will take Mr. Ai to see our boss."
Mr. Ai did not refuse again.
He followed the guard.
They soon arrived at the office door. The office was very small, only about 11 or 12 square meters, and there were only Li Yongtai and a clerk inside.
The guard knocked on the door. When Li Yongtai and the clerk looked over, the guard said, "Boss, Mr. Ai wants to see you."
Li Yongtai had already spotted Mr. Ai following the guard. He stood up, walked over, and said to Mr. Ai with a smile, "Mr. Ai, what brings you here?"
After the Li family went bankrupt, President Ai always took advantage of Li Yongtai's misfortune in secret, so Li Yongtai didn't know that President Ai had disciplined him.
All I know is that after the Li family went bankrupt, Ellie, who was a good friend of his daughter, had a falling out with his daughter, apparently because of a man.
When Li Yongtai just went bankrupt, he was not in the mood to care about those things. Now that the relationship between father and daughter has become bad, he dare not ask about the conflict between Li Ke and Ai Li.
Li Yongtai was very happy to see Mr. Ai coming.
He greeted Mr. Ai into the office with a smile and repeatedly asked the clerk to make tea.
Mr. Ai really enjoyed the feeling of being treated as a guest of honor by Li Yongtai.
In the past, Li Yongtai treated him well, but not like he does now. After all, Yongtai Carton used to be a leader in the industry, and had many customers who were bigger than Mr. Ai.
"Mr. Ai, please sit down."
After Li Yongtai invited Mr. Ai to sit down, he also sat down opposite Mr. Ai.
Mr. Ai looked at Li Yongtai and sighed, "It's been a while since we last met, Yongtai. You've aged a lot."
When he was rich, Li Yongtai took good care of himself, making him look a dozen years younger than his actual age.
Now that he has no money for maintenance, and he is very tired from running business every day and has great pressure in life, Li Yongtai looks much older.
"I'm not young anymore."
Li Yongtai looked at Mr. Ai's sturdy figure and said with a smile, "You have gained a lot of weight. Business is good, right?"
"It's okay, just like usual. The business environment is not good right now, and I can barely make ends meet."
"After all, your company has been running for 20 or 30 years, so it has a solid foundation. Yes, business isn't as easy as it used to be. Back then, as long as you had the capital and were willing to endure hardship, you could slowly build up any business. Now, you can't even get orders even if you work yourself to death."
After starting his business again, Li Yongtai suffered more than when he started his business before. He regretted it very much and regretted that he did not know how to cherish everything he once had. Now, even if he has fighting spirit and confidence, it is very difficult for him to return to the same heights as before.
"Yes, there aren't as many opportunities as before. All industries have reached saturation. How's your factory doing? Can it survive?"
"In your words, it's okay to make a living, but it's difficult to make a lot of money."
Li Yongtai sighed again as he spoke.
After the clerk brewed a pot of tea, he personally poured half a cup of tea for Mr. Ai. Mr. Ai gave him face and put down the cup after taking a sip of tea.
I feel very disgusted inside.
This tea must be cheap tea, and the tea brewed with it doesn’t taste good either.
In the past, Li Yongtai always treated him with the best Biluochun tea.
"Don't be discouraged, Yongtai. I believe your factory will be able to get back on track soon. You have a good daughter."
Mr. Ai's words have hidden meanings.
Li Yongtai also poured himself a cup of tea. Seeing that Mr. Ai took a sip of the tea and stopped drinking, he knew that the other party disliked the quality of his tea.
Now he has no money, so he usually drinks boiled water. He only takes out tea to entertain guests when they come.
"Boss Ai, what are you saying?"
Mr. Ai glanced at the clerk.
The clerk was tactful and left the office under the pretext of going to the workshop.
She was also responsible for following orders.
After the clerk left, Li Yongtai asked Mr. Ai again: "Mr. Ai, what did you mean by that just now?"
Mr. Ai asked him with a smile, "Yongtai, how long has it been since you last saw your daughter Li Ke?"
"It wasn't long ago. I went to see her some time ago. What happened to her?" Li Yongtai asked nervously.
"You look so nervous, but don't be nervous. This is a good thing. Li Ke is really capable. Unlike our Ai Li, who treats a philandering scumbag as a treasure, your Li Ke has good taste and knows how to pick people. He picked the third young master of the Jun family. That's the Jun family, the richest family in our City A, a multi-billionaire family."
"Yongtai, if your daughter marries into the Jun family and becomes the Third Young Lady, as long as the Jun family gives you a hand, it will only take a few minutes for you to get back on your feet."
Li Yongtai's face suddenly darkened.
He said to Mr. Ai: "Mr. Ai, please stop talking nonsense and making up rumors. My daughter and the third young master of the Jun family are innocent."
