Seeing that there was no important work in the afternoon, Qian Liulin put aside his work and thought he would come here to keep his old man company and chat with Song Lili.
After hearing what Qian Liulin said, Song Lili didn't say much, but was very happy. "I'm quite happy. I feel like it's been a long time since I've had a proper chat with Brother Qian. Today is really a good opportunity."
Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Wu Ying went to the kitchen, washed some fruit, and then poured water for Qian Liulin.
"Xiaolin, have you eaten? If not, I can prepare something for you."
Qian Liulin quickly shook his head, "No need, no need, I ate out before coming back, no need to trouble yourself."
Qian Liulin figured the old men must have already eaten and were taking a nap, so he ate out before coming back, not wanting to trouble Wu Ying.
After hearing this, Wu Ying stopped talking and just sat there, keeping the two company and listening to their conversation.
They weren't talking about anything important, just everyday family matters. However, Song Lili and Qian Liulin were able to chat about things that included future developments and economic matters.
Wu Ying could understand everything, but she wouldn't participate.
As they were talking, Song Lili suddenly told Qian Liulin that Zhang Zeyu was coming.
It wasn't that I had any ulterior motive; I just thought that Qian Liulin knew Zhang Zeyu, so I casually mentioned it.
However, to her surprise, Qian Liulin gave Song Lili a very unexpected answer.
“I was responsible for transferring Zhang Zeyu here, and it was I who advocated for his transfer.”
"It's you, Brother Qian? Why? Is my cousin really that capable at work?" Otherwise, why would Qian Liulin be interested in Zhang Zeyu?
In Qian Liulin's case, everything is about strength.
Furthermore, there is no other relationship between Zhang Zeyu and Qian Liulin. There was no question of using connections.
Qian Liulin nodded. "Zhang Zeyu, this person is quite capable. I've been observing her for a while and I admire her, so I thought I'd transfer her here to work as my assistant."
Of course, what Qian Liulin didn't tell Song Lili was that this assistant wasn't the most important one, but rather one of his many assistants.
You could say that I was just working under him.
These were all work-related matters, so Qian Liulin couldn't tell Song Lili, and Song Lili didn't have the habit of asking about them.
Anyway, the people involved know the truth about these things, so she won't get involved.
However, after learning this news, Song Lili breathed a sigh of relief for Zhang Zeyu.
Since the leader is someone he knows, at least he won't be given a hard time or made things difficult for. Zhang Zeyu's future work environment will be much better.
This would shorten the time it would take him to establish himself in the capital. In any case, this was good news.
After the three elderly people woke up from their afternoon nap, they couldn't help but criticize Qian Liulin for being so busy with work and never spending time playing chess or chatting with the old folks.
They only managed to see him once, and that was after they heard that Song Li had come, so everyone said that Qian Liulin had no conscience.
Qian Liulin felt truly wronged. He was very busy with work. However, while working, he always kept in mind his elderly relatives at home and would occasionally ask about their well-being.
But to his surprise, the old man thought he was a heartless person, which made Qian Liulin feel very wronged.
But what can we do? They're all like children in the family; we can only spoil them. Even if what they say is wrong, we can only listen to it as if it were right.
Therefore, Qian Liulin quickly admitted her mistake and promised to play chess with them whenever she had time, which finally appeased the three elderly people.
Song Lili inquired about the health of the three elderly people. The answer she received was that they were in good health.
In fact, Song Lili didn't believe it; they were all over eighty years old. How could they possibly still be in such good health?
Some of the ailments that appear in elderly people have definitely appeared, but they just don't say anything for fear of worrying themselves.
Seeing that Song Lili didn't quite believe him, Li Zhiyuan immediately straightened his back and said, "Lili, don't be so skeptical. The three of us old guys are in very good health."
"Compared to Huang Zhen and the others, we're doing pretty well."
Qian Xianming, who was also standing nearby, said with some emotion, "Yes, it's all thanks to you, girl. If it weren't for you taking care of us all those years ago and keeping us old folks from suffering, our health wouldn't be so good. We probably wouldn't even be as good as Huang Zhen and the others."
"Maybe we didn't even make it through. We might have died in that little mountain village."
"Yes, it's all thanks to you, young lady, that we old men have been able to live like this for so many years. So, we should thank you."
Even Wu Zhongge looked at Song Lili with great emotion.
Back then, when they were all feeling lost, Qian Liulin sent them to Hongqi Village.
At that time, they were actually disheartened and even numb.
Zhao Qian, in particular, even had suicidal thoughts at the time, and they all felt that the future was bleak.
However, to their surprise, fate gave them a huge surprise.
Unexpectedly, in that small village, someone offered them warmth. And this warmth lasted for ten years, until they were able to return to the capital, this little girl was still taking care of them.
If it weren't for this little girl, they wouldn't have been able to persevere; they would have either starved to death or died from exhaustion.
After returning to the capital, whenever they dreamt of it in the middle of the night, they would feel grateful that they had met this little girl back then.
A seemingly thin and frail little girl, at that time, acted like a guardian angel, enabling them all to survive.
The elderly people didn't say it, but they were all very grateful to Song Lili and wanted to do something for her.
However, Song Lili is a person of principle and does not need the help of the elders at all. In fact, she refused several times, and the elders never brought it up again afterward.
However, in private, he told his children that if they could take care of Song Lili, they should take care of her as much as possible.
Therefore, Song Lili's hot pot restaurant was able to open so smoothly, partly due to the connections with several elderly people.
However, they did it discreetly, so Song Li didn't find out.
Just like Qian Liulin, he not only openly wanted to help Song Lili, but also did a lot for her behind the scenes.
