Li Xu sat up from the bed and looked at Xu Xiangqian in surprise, "Old Xu, are you serious?"
"Of course, second cousin, am I sincere enough?"
"It's enough, but are you sure you won't regret it?"
"Sure."
Xu Xiangqian is not a fool, he can still distinguish between one meal being full and another being full.
He knew that he could make a lot of money on this deal, and half of the profit was an astronomical figure, but he knew even more clearly that if he gave up this money, he would be able to make more money in the future.
Li Xu stared at him for a while, then patted his shoulder and lay back down without saying a word.
Xu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and cautiously asked, "Second cousin, do you agree?"
"Um."
After receiving the confirmation, Xu Xiangqian was so happy that his back teeth were exposed. He massaged Li Xu even harder. "Second cousin, I knew you were a man of loyalty and friendship. You would not abandon me."
Li Xu chuckled, "If I don't agree, will I be considered a heartless and ungrateful person?"
"Of course not." Xu Xiangqian replied righteously, then quickly changed the subject, "Second cousin, after you finish this, will the three of you go home for the New Year?"
"Why, do you have an idea?"
Xu Xiangqian chuckled, "I want to go back with you."
"Come on, come back with me. What will happen to the house, the shoe factory, and the fan factory?"
"Find someone to watch over us. Besides, we're relatives. You guys go home for the New Year, and we stay at the factory. What would Qian Jin think if he knew?"
You know what, this is indeed a problem.
In the past, Xu Xiangqian and Li Xu acted so close to each other. If Qian Jin knew that he stayed in the factory and did not go to Li's house for the New Year, he would definitely be suspicious of their relationship.
But Li Xu didn't want Xu Xiangqian to come to his house yet. After thinking about it, he said thoughtfully, "How about this: you and your family come to Hong Kong for the New Year. If outsiders ask, you can say you have business to take care of."
Xu Xiangqian's expression froze. "Second cousin, you know we don't even have any relatives in Hong Kong. It would be too boring to celebrate the New Year here."
"So, do you have relatives in the mainland?"
"Yes, you are."
Li Xu was shocked by Xu Xiangqian's shamelessness. Do you take our relationship seriously?
After a moment of silence, Li Xu took a deep breath and slowly explained, "Old Xu, it's not that I don't want you to go, but you can't go. Our relationship is fake. As long as you don't show up and don't let others see you, even if someone investigates, I can still make this matter go away.
But if my neighbors see you, and they ask you a few questions, you'll be exposed, and then I won't be able to keep it secret."
Xu Xiangqian pondered it for a moment and realized that what he said made sense, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I won't go."
Seeing his face full of disappointment, Li Xu comforted him, "Old Xu, wait a few years when the environment gets better, I will take you back, and then we can go there openly."
Xu Xiangqian was immediately displeased. "Second cousin, it was your idea to let me pretend to be your cousin. You can't just throw this identity away after using it."
"Do you really want to be my cousin?" Li Xu said unhappily.
Xu Xiangqian didn't hide it at all and said directly, "I dream about it."
He has always understood that as long as nothing unexpected happens, Li Xu will definitely reach a height that he cannot reach in the future.
If I could become his relative, I would gain many benefits.
Xu Xiangqian knew that what he said was a bit shameless, but as a businessman, in his eyes, face was far less important than interests.
"Old Xu, I know what you're thinking. You don't have to be like this. Even if we're not related, I'll still help you if you run into trouble. Besides, you'll become a Hong Kong tycoon, maybe even a world tycoon. People at that level rarely encounter problems, so you won't have the chance to ask me for help."
Li Xu didn't want to continue discussing this topic, so he didn't give Xu Xiangqian a chance to speak. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Old Xu, after the New Year, I plan to hire some bodyguards. What do you think?"
As the amount of funds in hand increases, security issues have to be put on the agenda.
Li Xu doesn't want to be kidnapped.
"Okay, we'll recruit more then."
"OK."
Li Chen excitedly continued, "Second brother, do my eldest brother and I have bodyguards?"
"Nonsense, I have them all, how can you not have them?"
Hearing this, Li Chen was so happy that his mouth almost reached his ears.
In the next few days, Li Xu and others did not go anywhere and stayed in the trading room every day until the funds were used up.
Seeing that the matter was done, Li Xu and the other two said goodbye to the charter king and returned to Guangzhou.
After walking out of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Through Train station, the three of them carefully inspected the car. Seeing that there was no damage to the car, they got in and drove straight to the train station.
After finding out the time of the nearest train to Wuhan, the three of them left.
Back at the fan factory, everyone chatted for a while, and then Li Xu called accountant Yuan Yu over.
Yuan Yu is 23 years old this year. Her father is an old accountant. She started to learn accounting knowledge from her father when she was in her teens. Unfortunately, after graduation, she was unable to go to work and had to stay at home.
Later, she saw that the fan factory was recruiting, so she went to apply. Since she was the only one applying for the accountant position, Li Xu kept her.
After a few months of contact, Li Xu felt that she was a good person, serious, meticulous, honest and hardworking, so he wanted her to visit the factory during the Spring Festival.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yu agreed without thinking.
Seeing this, Li Xu couldn't help but show satisfaction. "Xiao Yuan, remember, the factory will be closed on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month and will resume work on the 4th day of the first lunar month. The gate guards will work as usual. Give them an extra 50 yuan subsidy, and you will get 100 yuan."
