Weng Xiaozhu could be quite straightforward at times, something both Li Cheng and Meng Jianghong knew.
Therefore, working with or playing with such people should not be tiring and worry-free.
For example, Meng Jianghong, after meeting Weng Xiaozhu, they quickly became besties. Although there was a big age gap between them, it didn't stop them from becoming good friends.
Therefore, not only did Weng Xiaozhu not understand why Li Cheng was unwilling to take his family out to play, but even Meng Jianghong felt that Li Cheng was going too far.
But was Li Cheng really going too far? Li Cheng didn't think he was. He always remembered what Li Hui had told him: "There's no such thing as a free lunch, unless it's cooked by your own parents. Mr. Weng's funds aren't easy to use. If your business doesn't do well, you'll end up in big trouble."
Li Cheng didn't know what kind of trouble it was, but people like Li Hui said it was trouble. Li Cheng thought it would be better to stay away from Weng Xiaozhu.
But then again, what Li Hui was talking about was if business was bad, what if business was good? Could he use Weng Xiaozhu's money?
Li Cheng had thought about this problem many times, and he even experimented with the stocks in Yao Hong's hands. As a result, after Weng Xiaozhu made money, he gave Li Cheng a commission of 10,000 yuan.
Li Cheng felt that Weng Xiaozhu was okay. At least he was an open-minded person. No matter how much money he made, he knew how to share it with others.
Such people can make the business bigger and stronger, and cooperating with such people should be worry-free and pleasant.
Just when Li Cheng was still hesitating about whether to take Weng Xiaozhu to play, Weng Xiaozhu had already called Li Hui.
"Mr. Li, why did you have a meeting for the whole morning?" Weng Xiaozhu called several times in the morning.
"Mr. Weng, I'm sorry. I was busy with a meeting this morning and forgot to call you back. I'm sorry."
Li Hui on the other end of the phone was telling the truth. Their business has been good recently, so they wanted to join forces with a few powerful companies to expand their investment company.
"It's okay, Mr. Li, I know you're busy."
"Oh, Mr. Weng, what's going on?"
Weng Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Mr. Li, your Mr. Li is Li Cheng. Have you contacted him recently?"
Li Hui probably didn't expect that Weng Xiaozhu was asking about Li Cheng. He paused and said, "Oh, Li Cheng, what happened to him?"
Weng Xiaozhu smiled and thought that Li Hui was quite tight-lipped. He didn't answer her questions, but asked her questions instead.
So, Weng Xiaozhu smiled and said, "He's fine. He's doing well now. He even came to my place for tea yesterday."
"Oh, that's good. Mr. Weng, I'm a young and capable brother, so if you can help me with something, please do so!"
"Mr. Li, you're too polite. This is natural. Your little brother is my—oh, my friend, so naturally I'll help him if I can. It's just that he seems to have some prejudice against me and doesn't want me to help him."
Li Hui naturally understood what was going on. He thought that Li Cheng was quite obedient. He had warned him not to let Weng Xiaozhu interfere in his business easily, and he really did not let Weng Xiaozhu interfere.
But Weng Xiaozhu was still waiting on the phone, so Li Hui couldn't think too much. So Li Hui said, "Mr. Weng, are you overthinking it? Maybe he doesn't need your help at all."
Weng Xiaozhu understood that Li Cheng's reluctance to take her along was due to something Li Hui had said behind the scenes. Weng Xiaozhu smiled and said, "Maybe I'm just being overly suspicious. But, Mr. Li, I really want to help him, especially with his supermarket project. I'm very interested. If possible, could you please help me get Li Cheng to help me make a little fortune this time?"
What else could Li Hui say after all this? So, Li Hui agreed to help her speak up when he had the chance.
Weng Xiaozhu said, "It's better to choose a good day than to wait for one. Today seems to be a good day. The sun is shining brightly here. It's a beautiful day. I wonder how it's going over there, Mr. Li? Is it sunny?"
Li Hui on the other end of the phone shook his head, thinking, "You're going to take my little brother for granted." After a moment's hesitation, Li Hui said, "Boss Weng, I'll call him right now to see if he needs your help."
Weng Xiaozhu said "thank you" and then hung up the phone.
In reality, Weng Xiaozhu was in a state of confusion at the moment, and she didn't want to say anything more to Li Hui. If she continued, she was afraid she would reveal her inner thoughts.
Weng Xiaozhu admired Li Cheng very much, the kind of admiration that came from the bottom of her heart. But she knew that Li Cheng had no other thoughts about her. According to Meng Jianghong, Li Cheng had already fallen in love with a girl who had just started working.
Girl? I was once a girl myself. If I hadn't met a heartless man, wouldn't I have also been in love with my beloved under the moonlight, in the courtyard at dusk?
Alas! I met Li Cheng too late, and I was born a few years too early. You were born before I was born, and I was born when you were already old. No, it was me who was born before you were born, and you who was born when I was already old.
But am I old? I'm not even thirty yet. Is a woman's youth only a few short years?
Just when Weng Xiaozhu was feeling angry, Li Cheng called.
After the call was connected, Li Cheng said, "Mr. Weng, prepare 2.5 million."
After saying that, Li Cheng hung up the phone.
Weng Xiaozhu stared at the phone in her hand for a while. It was not that she did not understand what Li Cheng meant, but she felt that Li Cheng seemed to be eager to let her participate in his plan.
It was just that he seemed to be waiting for someone to tell him to do so. With this person, he seemed to have an excuse.
Weng Xiaozhu shook her head, thinking that Li Cheng was an honest man after all, and he would do whatever his brother-in-law Li Hui asked him to do. In fact, Li Hui was not as far-sighted as Li Cheng.
Thinking of this, Weng Xiaozhu smiled and then went to prepare the funds.
Weng Xiaozhu returned to her luxurious office on the top floor and sat in her boss chair for a while, thinking. Then she stood up, walked to a wall, and looked at the painting.
This was an oil painting brought from Russia, supposedly part of the collection of a struggling artist. Weng Xiaozhu looked at the two-masted sailing vessel in the surging waves, and the seagulls battling the waves beside it, and her heart was suddenly filled with admiration.
Doing business is like sailing on the waves; the slightest mistake could result in the boat capsizing and the loss of life. But Weng Xiaozhu felt that he had found a good captain who would surely steer the boat through the rough waves.
"Two and a half million, Li Cheng, you underestimate me. I know you're just trying to find out my financial situation and see if I can come up with this much money all at once."
As he spoke, Weng Xiaozhu pressed a switch on the wall, and a secret door next to it opened, revealing a deep passage.
