303 families
The next day, Lao Luo arrived early, and Li Wei was having breakfast with the three children.
As soon as Lao Luo came in, the three kids, who had almost finished eating, jumped off their chairs and ran over, calling out "Grandpa, Grandpa!" incessantly. The little girl, in particular, asked, "Grandpa, did you bring me those chocolate candies?"
Despite his hurried appearance, Lao Luo hadn't forgotten anything about pleasing his grandson. He reached behind him and pulled out a bag filled with various snacks that the three little ones loved.
Seeing the children so excited, as if it were New Year's Day, Lao Luo laughed heartily. Li Wei, on the other hand, looked up at the sky helplessly. Sigh, there were seven elderly people in both families, and they always indulged the children's bad habits. She could only watch helplessly.
Upon asking, it turned out that the old man was nearly fifty years old and had come over without even having breakfast. So, they added more bowls and chopsticks and ate some together.
After breakfast, Li Wei checked the time and decided that she wouldn't be able to go to school again. Anyway, Xu Ting would ask for leave for her, so she didn't need to remind her. She would ask for leave on her own.
Thinking about it, I'm graduating soon anyway, and the courses aren't too demanding, so whether I go or not doesn't really matter. I won't miss a couple of days.
Li Wei and Aunt Gao first sent the children to kindergarten, then came back to discuss matters with her father-in-law.
Before meeting Luo Er, Li Wei and Luo Er discussed their future plans. Luo Er was very excited, while Li Wei was rather indifferent.
As for Luo Er, he is just a vanguard. As for the future grand plan of the Luo family, it still depends on Li Wei and Lao Luo to formulate it.
Luo is a bold and ambitious man, while Li Wei is someone who only makes money and never loses. One draws the plans, and the other buys materials to build the house. This business is going to be very successful.
Anyway, Lao Luo is now confident. Our family isn't short of money.
Although Li Wei wasn't particularly interested in business, she knew that for the sake of her family's more important future—her children's future—she had no choice but to do it properly.
I suddenly remembered what Liao Kaiwen said last night. Is this the life I want?
Li Wei didn't know either. But at least for now, it didn't seem that bad.
More importantly, she loves her family and her children.
The two didn't discuss it for too long. After all, they didn't have a concrete plan, only a general direction. They both assigned their men to go south with Luo Er. Li Wei had also built up some connections there over the past two years, so it seemed there wouldn't be any problems.
However, Li Wei always felt that things shouldn't be that simple. Suddenly, she remembered Liao Kaiwen. His company was doing big business and wasn't he also seeking cooperation?
Li Wei suddenly had an idea. She had some ideas if she were to do it herself, but now that Luo Er was involved, things would be much easier.
Whether it will work out or not is still uncertain. Li Wei simply chatted with Lao Luo without mentioning the matter. After all, Lao Luo had originally held onto some hope for this, and if it didn't work out, it would only bring unnecessary disappointment.
Lao Luo is a decisive person who does what he says. He immediately called Luo Er, but unfortunately, Luo Er still had some things to deal with. Lao Luo couldn't resist and drove over himself.
I was incredibly unhappy. I thought to myself, "Why is my son so indecisive? If he's not going to do it anymore, what's he holding onto? He should just clean things up already. Whether he makes a profit or a loss, it's all just a publicity stunt. Why can't he let go of this?"
Before Lao Luo could even finish his fuss and run off to find his son, Li Wei picked up the phone after he left. Only then did she realize that she didn't have Liao Kaiwen's number at all. So she simply called the property management office to inquire. They wouldn't give her the number, but they did promise to contact him and get back to her. After all, the residents in the community were not to be trifled with, so she couldn't be too blunt.
Li Wei was both amused and exasperated. When did business people become so secretive? Were they afraid of fans sending them flowers?
But thinking about it, it's normal. Money and power have always been the only way for the privileged class to obtain power. It would be strange if there were no special privileges at all.
She wouldn't treat a poet like that just because he came to her house for a walk late at night.
Soon Liao Kaiwen called. Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then decided it wasn't a good idea to discuss this over the phone, so she arranged to meet in person.
The two arranged to meet at a nearby teahouse. Liao Kaiwen picked up Li Wei, and when they arrived at the quaint teahouse, they were led directly to the second floor by a waiter.
We sat down in a private room and ordered a pot of Biluochun tea. After drinking a cup, we were immediately struck by its cool, sweet, fresh, and fragrant aroma, which calmed our restless minds considerably.
Combined with the tranquil surroundings, it has a unique charm of serenity and tranquility.
Unfortunately, the matter to be discussed was anything but noble, and it was impossible for it to be without its share of ups and downs. Li Wei spoke first: "I remember when your company approached my cousin, were you genuinely interested in cooperating with her, or were you just testing the waters?"
Liao Kaiwen, a seasoned businessman, felt that Li Wei, a lazy newbie, was comparable: "She has both qualities."
Li Wei didn't have much of an idea about this matter, nor did she have high expectations, so she got straight to the point without any psychological burden: "Well, my family is now interested in developing in this industry. Would you like to take a look and see if it's feasible?"
Liao Kaiwen hesitated for a moment: "You mean Shen Tao?"
"I guess so?" Li Wei thought it over and over. If Xiao Er really wanted to develop in this industry, with his current qualifications, it wouldn't be good to go too high. Working for him for a few years first would be a good choice.
Liao Kaiwen smiled and said, "You don't seem like someone who likes doing business. What made you think of this?"
While sipping her tea, Li Wei said, "Didn't you suddenly pop up and remind me? Otherwise, we could have just lived a peaceful life as wealthy men. Just because I have no ambition doesn't mean others don't. Besides, in business, if we agree, we both benefit; if not, we part ways. It's not a big deal. Why don't you take a look? She's my cousin, so you can research it and give me an answer and a plan as soon as possible. If there are any problems, you can discuss them directly with Shen Tao. Don't come to me. I'm just someone who waits to count money and doesn't know how to do anything. I'm the kind of person who just loafs around and waits to die."
Liao Kaiwen laughed heartily, his whole demeanor bright and cheerful: "Haha, to be honest, I wouldn't believe it if someone else said this, but I really do believe it when you say it. I actually had my men investigate you, and they found that your way of making money is quite strange. It's like robbing a bank—you do one heist and live off it for ten years, and during those ten years, people still give you money to make money. You're truly amazing, haha."
Li Wei -_-
"Is it that funny? Is it that strange? Many men are the same when they get rich, and many of them even take risks. I'm doing pretty well, so stop laughing so gleefully, okay?" Li Wei felt speechless. Was she really that strange that even a fake foreigner would laugh at her?
Liao Kaiwen quickly stopped him, saying very seriously, "I didn't mean to make fun of you. On the contrary, I really admire you."
Li Wei -_-
Do you really admire people who can laugh in such bizarre ways?
