In the evening, after Lu Lingxi got off work, he took Dahei to a small restaurant.
The business in the store was good, and Wang Shuxiu was a little busy. Lu Lingxi washed his hands very consciously and went to help. After being busy for a while, after dinner time, there were obviously fewer customers in the store, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaohua Family Restaurant is becoming more and more famous in the neighborhood, with many repeat customers every day. Wang Shuxiu herself knows that her cooking skills are one thing, but the most important thing is the quality of the ingredients. Taking advantage of the fact that there are not many people around now, Wang Shuxiu pulled Lu Lingxi to talk about what to do in winter? The vegetables in the restaurant are all purchased from the village. To put it bluntly, these vegetables are not specially grown for sale, but are grown by the villagers in their yards for their own consumption. Summer and autumn are not bad, but it is almost October, and in another two months, the weather will get cold and the vegetables will probably not grow.
Lu Lingxi had wanted to talk to Wang Shuxiu about this before, but he almost forgot about it because of so many things going on recently.
"Mom, what do you think about us renting a few acres of land and building a greenhouse to grow vegetables? It's right next to the flower garden."
Wang Shuxiu was a little hesitant, as the cost would be very high if calculated this way.
"Can you do it?"
Lu Lingxi nodded, "Now the greenhouse of the flower garden has begun to be built, and there are ready-made workers. I heard from Brother Yan that the progress is very fast, and it won't be a big deal to build another one next to it. Besides, the land in the village is usually barren, so they would be happier if someone rents it."
Wang Shuxiu counted the money in her hand and said, "Let me think about it."
Lu Lingxi didn't say anything. Yi Hang looked at him from a distance and winked at him. Lu Lingxi suddenly remembered what Yi Hang said in the text message and subconsciously looked around.
"What are you looking for?" Wang Shuxiu asked casually.
"Brother Feng didn't come?"
"What is he doing here?"
Lu Lingxi realized what he had said only after he finished speaking. He looked away and didn't dare to look at Wang Shuxiu. Wang Shuxiu stared at him suspiciously, wondering if the little bastard had heard something.
"Tell me, why did you think of looking for Brother Feng?"
Lu Lingxi was hesitant and unable to speak. Wang Shuxiu understood immediately and was both angry and amused. She slapped him in the face. "Are you worried that I'll find you a stepfather? Don't worry, I just climbed out of the fire pit and don't plan to jump again." She said this, but in her heart she was thinking that Lu Lingxi might have remembered something and still couldn't let go of Lu Yishui.
Lu Lingxi didn't know that Wang Shuxiu had misunderstood him. He hesitated for a long time before saying seriously, "Actually, it would be nice for Mom to find another one."
After seeing Gao Yongliang off in the afternoon, Lu Lingxi pondered over this question for a long time. What would the original Lu Lingxi think if he was here? Lu Yishui was not good to Wang Shuxiu, and the original Lu Lingxi must have hoped that Wang Shuxiu could be happy. Although he wanted to take good care of Wang Shuxiu, a son and a husband should still be different, just like Yan Yue and Wang Shuxiu are different to him.
He said it seriously, but Wang Shuxiu was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed. "You little bastard, you worry too much. Okay, don't worry about adults' affairs. You must be hungry. I'll go cook you a dish."
As soon as Wang Shuxiu left, Yi Hang came over. "What are you talking about? You look so bitter and resentful. By the way, where's Brother Yan?" Yi Hang was used to Yan Yue sending Lu Lingxi over at night, and he was a little uncomfortable when Yan Yue was not there occasionally.
Lu Lingxi withdrew his thoughts and found an empty table to sit down. "Brother Yan has something to do."
Yi Hang was curious, "What does Brother Yan do? Why does it seem like he has nothing to do?"
"Brother Yan has been on vacation recently." Lu Lingxi explained. Yan Yue rarely mentioned family matters, and Lu Lingxi didn't know much. He only knew that Yan Yue was from the Zhongjing Yan family. He tried hard to mobilize his poor memories of his previous life, but he couldn't remember too many things about the Zhongjing Yan family. However, families like this are nothing more than disputes. Lu Lingxi had listened to Yan Yue's phone calls several times and could feel that Yan Yue's family was not peaceful.
Yi Hang didn't think as much as he did, and sighed, "It's good to be rich."
Lu Lingxi didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he sent a text message to Yan Yue, "Brother Yan, have you had dinner?"
Yan Yue's text message came back soon, "I've eaten. I'm a little busy now. Be good. I'll call you in the evening."
Yan Yue is really busy now. After quickly replying to the text message, Yan Yue put down his phone and looked at the computer again. His expression turned serious. "Go on, you just said that Gao Yongliang's project has attracted investment from Sequoia?"
Sequoia Capital is a venture capital firm like DeZhi Capital. As competitors, the two companies have dealt with each other several times before.
"Yes." The person who spoke was a slightly plump middle-aged man in the video, named Dai Wei, who was the person in charge of Dezhi Investment. He quickly flipped through the information in his hand and confirmed: "Gao Yongliang's project did attract investment from Sequoia, but Sequoia did not attach much importance to his project and only gave it a C rating. In addition, because Gao Yongliang has not made any concrete progress in nearly a year since he got the investment, Sequoia seems to be a little dissatisfied and is considering withdrawing its investment."
Yan Yue tapped the table a few times and ordered, "Find someone to lobby for Sequoia's withdrawal as soon as possible. We need to follow up on this project."
Although Dai Wei was mentally prepared when Yan Yue suddenly asked to investigate the progress of Gao Yongliang's project yesterday, he still had some concerns when he heard Yan Yue was going to invest in this project. "Why? To be honest, I was really optimistic about this project at the beginning. But considering what Gao Yongliang has done this year, I am a little worried. He wasted Sequoia's money for a year, did not bring any benefits, and may not have any benefits in the short term in the future. I am not sure whether investing in this project is the right decision. Of course, you are the boss." After expressing his opinion, Dai Wei added a sentence as a summary.
An Jie, who was sitting behind Yan Yue, was amused by the last sentence and gave Dai Wei a thumbs up. He also had concerns about this investment and didn't understand why Yan Yue suddenly brought up this project that they had already rejected.
Dai Wei nodded to An Jie. Yan Yue pretended not to notice their little movements and explained, "Although Gao Yongliang is a bit picky in his work, he can also be said to be striving for perfection. Based on his behavior this year, I am optimistic about the products he is preparing to launch. In any case, we have to participate in this project before the end of the month."
"No problem." Dai Wei assured. He was the best at sabotaging, especially when it came to his old enemy. The two sides reached an agreement, and Dai Wei felt that he had to catch up on some sleep first. Anyone who worked all day and all night would be a little overwhelmed. He was a little envious of An Jie, who was now on the same time difference with Yan Yue, and didn't have to confuse right and wrong like him.
After hanging up the video, An Jie placed the financial statements in front of Yan Yue. "This is the current liquidity we can use. Considering that you rated Gao Yongliang's project as A, I suggest that we take at least 51% of the shares."
"Of course." Yan Yue affirmed: "We must have absolute control over this project. Let Dai Wei talk to Gao Yongliang."
Anjie was a little curious, "Are you really just optimistic about this project? No other reasons?"
Yan Yue glared at him with a half-smile, "What do you want to say?"
Anjie immediately changed the subject. "The house is almost ready, when are you planning to move out?"
Yan Yue frowned, thinking about the best time to move out of the Yin family and announce that he was going abroad for recuperation. During this period, he was the only one in Fengcheng, and his grandfather and mother were in Zhongjing. Yin Ya's progress in Hepu was not very smooth. Grandpa had always disagreed with her entering Hepu. Without his grandfather's support, Yin Ya's development was difficult. However, this situation should be improved soon. His father's suppression of Yin Ya would only arouse his grandfather's sense of crisis and support Yin Ya instead.
Yan Yue sometimes thought Yin Ya was very stupid. Although his grandfather held a similar number of shares as his father, he had withdrawn from the operation of Hepu for many years and his influence in Hepu was not as great as before. The current Hepu could almost be said to be the Hepu of the Yan family. Where did Yin Ya get the confidence that his father would let an "outsider" take over Hepu? To Yan Shihui, Yan Yue and Yan Hai were both his sons. Whoever gave Hepu to would be the spoils of his own pot, but he would not give it to Yin Ya, and he would even try his best to suppress her idea.
"I'll find a time to go back to Zhongjing." Yan Yue decided. Since he decided to withdraw, he would withdraw cleanly and wait until Yan Hai and Yin Ya finished fighting.
"Brother Yan, are you going back to Zhongjing?" Lu Lingxi learned the news the next day and was a little surprised.
Yan Yue smiled slightly: "Xiao Xi is reluctant to let Brother Yan go?"
Lu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed, but still nodded seriously.
Seeing his expression, Yan Yue's heart softened. When no one was around, she touched his face and explained, "I'll only stay for a few days and will be back soon. I won't leave this time. The house in 202 is almost decorated. Brother Yan left a card for you. Xiaoxi, buy whatever you like and decorate the house."
Lu Lingxi was puzzled, "Shouldn't we decorate it with things that you like, Brother Yan?"
Yan Yue's eyes dimmed, and he looked at him softly and said, "This is the home of Brother Yan and Xiaoxi. Of course, Xiaoxi's preferences are the priority."
When he said this, Lu Lingxi's ears turned red, and he looked at Yan Yue and nodded embarrassedly.
Yan Yue left as soon as he said he would, and soon returned to Zhongjing with An Jie. Lu Lingxi was a little uncomfortable with being the only one left in the store, and he held Dahei and counted the days until Yan Yue came back.
"Xiaoxi."
"Grandma Wang." Lu Lingxi was very surprised. "You are discharged from the hospital?"
Several people rushed into Micro Gardening. In the middle was Grandma Wang, with two young men supporting her. There were also several middle-aged men and women around her, looking at Lu Lingxi with a kind smile. "He's discharged from the hospital." Grandma Wang said with full energy, "But his legs are still a little weak. Where's Dahei? I brought him some freshly steamed pork ribs."
Lu Lingxi was a little confused, and Grandma Wang laughed, "Xiaoxi, you are still hiding it, but Grandma Wang already knows it. If it wasn't for Dahei, Grandma Wang would still be confused and don't know who hit her. You kid, you do a good deed but you don't tell me." Grandma Wang pretended to complain and called on the people around her to quickly take out the steamed ribs for Dahei.
Lu Lingxi didn't know how to deal with this situation. He thought no one would know about Dahei. Grandma Wang looked at Dahei lovingly. One of her legs was still in a cast. She bent down with some difficulty and touched his head, praising him, "Good Dahei, Grandma Wang really wants to thank you."
Dahei seemed to understand what she said, and called out softly with his eyes narrowed.
Everyone in the room laughed. Grandma Wang's son was a tall, thin, middle-aged man. He looked at Lu Lingxi gratefully. "Xiaoxi, right? I really don't know how to thank you for this."
Grandma Wang interrupted, "Xiaoxi, your uncle Wang also works with flowers and plants. He works at the Botanical Research Institute. If you have any questions, just come to your uncle Wang."
Lu Lingxi's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly.
