Lee Family
Li Zhicheng didn't have anything important to do today. To be precise, the end of the world has come, and there won't be anything big for him to deal with.
Now there is a lot of work to be done. If we want to accomplish something, we have to wait until the base is built and everyone gathers together.
Fortunately, before the end of the world, he had several cable production factories built on a small hill in the suburbs. He bought them originally to make an orchard for the sake of cheapness. Later, the fruits could not be sold and he converted it into a cable factory. Surprisingly, it avoided floods and earthquakes and successfully boarded the municipal ship by relying on this batch of non-renewable resources.
Li Zhicheng opened the safe and took out some Feitian Moutai to drink. Luo Xi, a famous first-line actress before the end of the world, was dancing in front of him. Her charming movements were full of suggestive provocations, making the dance more vivid.
Luo Xi is also the woman most favored by Li Zhicheng recently.
Assistant Liu gently reminded at the door: "Sir, Miss Jiang Miao is here and is now reminiscing in her room."
Li Zhicheng took a sip of wine and said, "Oh, they are girls who are just having fun. By the way, keep an eye on Shilan and don't let her go out again. Urge her to eat when the time comes. Don't let her stay at home for dinner."
Every time her friends said they were coming to play, they were actually just coming to get free food and drinks. Supplies were so scarce now, and she was just an orphan whose family had fallen on hard times. It would be ok for them to have a playmate to help her relieve her boredom, but if they came to ask for money, he would send someone to kick them out.
Assistant Liu looked embarrassed: "No sir, it was Miss Jiang Miao who sent a lot of gifts to our house. Do you want to see them?"
"A gift? Well, I'll go and take a look." Li Zhicheng took the last sip of wine in the glass and was stopped by Luo Xi when he passed by.
"Hubby, you said that all the time today is mine, why don't you keep your word?"
Li Zhicheng teased and comforted her, rubbed her lower back and coaxed her, "Be good, your husband will be back soon."
After the person left, Luo Xi put away his smile and sat down on the ground, feeling exhausted.
So what if she is a female star? She is cheated by her agent, bullied by her assistant, and cannot even find a good item when searching through the garbage. To survive, she has to do this.
Li Zhicheng and Assistant Liu came to the large living room in the front. The originally empty exhibition stand was piled with cigarettes, wine, tea, fruit baskets, and gift boxes of bird's nests and ginseng.
Along with them were two men and women drinking tea nearby.
Both of them were good-looking and well-dressed. There was a tall and strong security guard standing at the entrance of the living room with his hands behind his back.
What a great style to go out and visit someone!
Su Le held his chin high, and when he saw a man in pajamas coming from the back yard, he nodded slightly: "Mr. Li, good afternoon."
Li Zhicheng nodded, sat on the sofa in the living room and asked the maid to serve him a cup of tea: "Are you two employees of Jiang's? What's your name?"
"No need to mention your surname, Su." Su Le put down his teacup with a meaningful smile on his face, "Why do you ask this, Mr. Li? You don't forget about our boss selling Jiang's stocks back then, do you?"
Not a lady, not a director, but the boss.
Li Zhicheng sensed something different and said with a smile, "How could I forget? This incident caused a stir in Ancheng's stock price, which fluctuated for two or three weeks before stabilizing. Even our family was greatly affected."
Su Le seemed to sigh with emotion: "The stock market was turbulent, but fortunately we all landed safely."
Li Zhicheng is a suspicious and thoughtful person who likes to hold power tightly in his own hands. He even used Jiang Miao's sale of shares as a negative example to educate and warn his children.
But now, three years later, looking back, with all this pomp and ceremony, it seems that they must have had some backup plan in hand, but unfortunately they can't do anything when the end of the world comes.
So he continued to test her: "Alas, my niece has a miserable life. Not only did she lose her parents at a young age, but she also encountered the end of the world. It's hard for her to struggle out of this situation in the end of the world. As an uncle, I am happy to see this."
Su Le said without a single leak: "Thank you Mr. Li for your concern. I will convey your sincere thoughts to the boss."
The two chatted for a while. The female secretary didn't leave any room for words, and was so slippery that it was hard to catch the opportunity to ask further questions.
Ten minutes later, Su Le stood up and straightened her dress, revealing her green jade bracelet. "Excuse me, can I ask where the bathroom is?"
Li Zhicheng looked at the empty teacup and waved his hand: "Assistant Liu, take Miss Su over."
"Thank you very much."
The difficult female secretary left, leaving behind a young boy who looked not very old.
Li Zhicheng took out a pack of cigarettes from under the coffee table and handed it over: "Little brother, do you want to smoke?"
Fang Yang waved his hand: "No."
"You don't mind if I smoke, do you?"
"Don't mind, don't mind. You can smoke if you like."
This guy looked like a rookie. Li Zhicheng was curious: "How could your boss let a newcomer like you come out with him? Doesn't he have anyone around him?"
Fang Yang smiled shyly: "I am somewhat related to the boss, so she always likes to take me with her when she goes out to do things to broaden her horizons. Anyway, there is not much for me to do in the company, so I might as well go out and see the world."
"Oh? Are you from her father's side or her grandfather's side? Why do you look unfamiliar to me?"
"Well, I think I have them all. It's normal that you're not familiar with them. My hometown is in City D."
The specific relationship was not clearly stated and no matter how Li Zhicheng asked, he refused to reveal it. He knew that someone had given him a death order.
Then he turned around and looked at the gifts on the stand and said, "You said that Jiang Miao came to play for fun, why did she bring so many gifts? I can't give less back later, otherwise it will make me, as an uncle, look like a bad-mannered uncle."
Xiangfang smiled shyly: "In fact, the boss never thought of taking back the gift he gave me. Mr. Li, don't blame yourself too much. Our boss doesn't need these things."
Not lacking?
The value of these cigarettes, alcohol and tea would have been enough to give as gifts to people like them before the end of the world, let alone now?
He even has to check the inventory when he drinks a little wine, but Jiang Miao only bought two bottles of top-grade VIP. What level is that?
Li Zhicheng asked tentatively: "What industry is your boss in now? It sounds good. If possible, I will invest some money to see if it is possible. You should know that I am a very discerning person and never invest in others easily. If you can get my investment, it will be a great achievement in front of your boss."
Fang Yang's big eyes revealed clear stupidity: "Really?"
Then he looked embarrassed: "But I don't know what the boss does specifically. People come and go in her office every day and she's quite busy. Some time ago, it seemed that the municipal government..."
"Xiaoyang." Su Le came back with a serious expression and interrupted him.
Then he said with a fake smile: "If Mr. Li has anything he wants to know, why not ask me what a young boy like him knows?"
Li Zhicheng was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he said with a smile, "I was just chatting with a child. Miss Su, please don't blame the child."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Okay, I have some things to take care of here, so I won't stay with you any longer. Assistant Liu, please bring some fruit and snacks to the two of you, please don't be so inconsiderate."
Assistant Liu: “Yes.”
Walking to the backyard, Li Zhicheng first went back to his room to change into a suit, then leaned back in the recliner and closed his eyes to rest.
I never expected that the girl who seemed so quiet and gentle in the past would have such good fortune at the end of the world.
He was determined to meet his little niece today to see what she was up to.
Jiang Miao was dressed very simply today, without any jewelry or accessories, looking exceptionally simple and gentle.
Being low-key is the right logic in the doomsday. Giving those decorations to the people around her is more convincing than her putting them all on herself.
Li Shilan has seldom gone out to meet friends and chat about gossip since the end of the world. Now that old acquaintances have come to see her, her desire to explore and share, which she could not satisfy on a normal day, has reached its peak.
The two of them sat on the small balcony of her room. In the hands of a pastry master, brewing coffee could also produce a rich and mellow aroma.
There must be some reason for my sudden visit to Li's house today so that Li Zhicheng won't be suspicious.
So when they were reminiscing about the past, Jiang Miao pretended to be hesitant to speak, and led Li Shilan to ask her, "What's wrong? I feel like you have something to talk to me about today."
Jiang Miao smiled sheepishly: "There are indeed some things I want to ask you, but I don't know if it's convenient."
Li Shilan became interested: "Hey, you have found the right person. Who in the circle has as wide social connections as me? Tell me about it."
Jiang Miao: "Two or three months ago, a major case occurred at Luhu Villa."
Hearing this, Li Shilan immediately calmed down her expression and pretended to be relaxed: "You knew about this too? Well, that's right. Who in our circle doesn't know about such a big thing?"
The Li family's villa is located on the edge of Lushan Community, and they were questioned by the police the next day.
"The Yuan family held a farewell banquet that night. Did Yuan Yiwei invite Uncle Li?"
Li Shilan said quickly, "My dad wanted to go, but they invited someone like Mayor Wen, and we only saw the lights and feasting from afar. I don't know what happened specifically."
“I see.”
Li Shilan is usually a loudmouth, but this time she kept her mouth shut so tightly, it seemed like she had been given special instructions.
The two chatted about everything from the south to the north, from the Wang family's bankruptcy to the Jiang family. Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Miao stood up and said, "It's getting late. I have something to do at home. Let's get together next time."
"Leaving so soon? Do you want to stay for dinner?" Li Shilan felt quite regretful. There was no internet, no activities, no entertainment at all. She had almost torn all the dictionaries at home apart from reading them all. It was really too boring.
"Next time, we'll make an appointment next time we have a chance."
Seeing her firm attitude, Li Shilan did not try to persuade her to stay. She just said, "Then go on your own. This yard is filled with smog and foul smells. I won't see you off."
"It's okay, my secretary is outside."
Jiang Miao came out of Li Shilan's room.
Fortunately, the Li family's house was not small, so they cleared out the building debris after the earthquake and used the remaining wall bricks on the first floor to build a courtyard style, which was quite decent.
The foul smell that Li Shilan mentioned was probably the seven or eight women living in the two houses diagonally behind.
It's really bad.
When passing by the garden, Jiang Miao happened to run into Assistant Liu. With an apologetic smile on his face, he said, "It's too late today, so I won't bother my uncle. Please give my regards to him."
The girl was fair-skinned, beautiful, and graceful, like a flower that had never experienced the ravages of doomsday. Talking to her made people feel as if they were still in that prosperous and peaceful era.
Assistant Liu bowed slightly: "Ms. Jiang Miao, Mr. wants to invite you to reminisce about the past."
She raised her eyebrows slightly. Su Le and Fang Yang performed well, and the fish was hooked.
"No." Jiang Miao politely declined, "I still have some trivial matters to deal with at home. I will bother you next time."
After saying that, she turned and walked out the door. The secretary and assistant immediately stood up and followed her respectfully, one carrying a bag and the other holding an umbrella.
When they reached the door of the villa, the bodyguards caught up in time. Three men in black suits surrounded the woman in the middle. They looked like aristocratic families that made people tremble in fear at the twilight of the empire, exuding an unattainable and distant air.
Li Zhicheng happened to see this scene when he rushed out to keep the people.
"Miao Miao, it's been a long time since we last met, and you're already at home but you don't even come to see your Uncle Li."
Hearing the voice, Jiang Miao stopped and adjusted his expression and turned back: "Uncle Li, that's not true. Post-disaster reconstruction is in full swing right now. I'm just trying to avoid suspicion with you, so that the municipal government won't say that we're forming cliques."
Hearing this, Li Zhicheng smiled more sincerely: "What's wrong with us, uncle and nephew, catching up on the past? Do you think the city government, a bunch of idle people, are going to care about this?"
"Look at what Uncle Li said."
Jiang Miao pointed to a rickety but reinforced pavilion in the garden and said, "I think this place is good. Why don't we sit here and chat for a while?"
"Okay, okay. Assistant Liu, ask Aunt Wang to give my niece some of my box of Laojunshan tea to try."
"yes."
