Chapter 623 Crouching Dragon Emerges from the Mountain



Xu Xiangqian has been doing business for so many years. He may not be so good in other aspects, but he has absolutely no problem with his eloquence.

No matter from which angle others ask, he can answer perfectly.

Although some people still doubt his relationship with the Li family, most people have already believed it.

Soon, the news that the Li family had relatives in Hong Kong Island spread throughout the neighborhood.

I don't know what happened, but the story changed as it was passed around, and there was an additional sentence saying that it was because of the letter from their cousin that the three brothers of the Li family gave up their jobs and went out to do business.

When the Li family heard this version of the rumor, they were all stunned.

They had thought of this excuse a long time ago. They had originally planned to tell the public when their own situation was exposed, but they didn't expect that it would be discovered now.

The Li family and Xu Xiangqian's family discussed it and finally decided to go with the flow. If anyone asked whether the matter was true or not, they would say it was true; if anyone asked about business matters, they would not answer.

This incident naturally attracted the gossipy neighbors to come and ask questions.

After getting the confirmation, they unsurprisingly became curious about the business again.

They didn't get anything out of me, but it was no big deal for them. If you don't tell me, won't I be able to make it up?

Several versions of the story soon circulated. Some said that Xu Xiangqian was a Hong Kong businessman and the three Li Ping brothers went to help him manage his business; some said that he was a leader of the unit and the three brothers went to help him; and some said that he was an ordinary worker and the three brothers went to work in the factory like him.

As various rumors intensified, more and more people came to visit Xu Xiangqian's family.

At first, people were more curious about their family and the Li family, but later they became curious about the outside world, especially Hong Kong Island.

Now, Xu Xiangqian and his family are almost becoming tour guides, explaining the outside world to people every day.

New Year’s Eve has arrived in a blink of an eye. Since today is Sunday, all units started their annual holiday since yesterday afternoon.

That morning, an unexpected person came to the door.

Wolong paid in full.

As soon as he entered the main hall of the Li family, Fu Qing couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow~".

When the Li family saw him come in, except for the old couple, the rest of the people stood up from the crowd and came to him to greet him.

After Fu Qing responded, Li Xu took him to the courtyard and asked with amusement, "Did you come out after finishing your chores at home, or did you sneak out without doing any work?"

Even though Fu Qing is in his thirties, it is still his normal practice to sneak away while doing housework.

"Don't ask me first, why are there so many people sitting in your main hall?"

If it were an ordinary day, Fu Qing would not be surprised at all to see so many people sitting in the Li family's house.

But today is New Year's Eve, and these people are still gathering at Li's house. It's really abnormal.

Seeing that he refused to answer, Li Xu understood and said, "You must have sneaked out," and then gave him a brief account of the situation.

After hearing this, Fu Qing's eyes widened in disbelief, "You have relatives in Hong Kong?"

"Um."

"Did they just contact you a few years ago?"

"Um."

Fu Qing stared at Li Xu for a while, then burst out laughing. "Come on, if they were really your relatives, I would give your family a house to eat."

Li Xu was a little puzzled. I didn’t feel guilty just now.

"Why don't you believe they are my relatives?"

"My feeling tells me that they are not your relatives."

Li Xu: ...

After a moment's silence, he said, "Your feeling is wrong."

"Impossible, my feelings are rarely wrong."

"Rarely? Seeing you look so confident, I thought you'd never missed a thing." Seeing Fu Qing wanted to refute, Li Xu quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about that. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Fu Qing asked in a low voice, "Back then you said you would take me out to do business once you made some money. Have you made any money yet?"

Li Xu suddenly felt a little toothache.

He had originally planned to take Fuqing out after the Chinese New Year next year, but he didn't expect that Fuqing would take the lead and mentioned this matter a year in advance.

The embarrassing thing is that Li Xu can’t say that he didn’t earn it now, otherwise he won’t be able to explain it when Li Ju gets married.

After thinking about it, Li Xu nodded and said, "I earned it."

He knew very well that if Fu Qing knew that he had lied to him about this matter, their friendship would be over.

Li Xu doesn't want to lose this good friend yet.

What's more, it won't be long before your own situation is exposed, so it won't have much impact if you pay it off a few months earlier than others.

Hearing this answer, Fu Qing was so happy that his back teeth showed. "Lao Li, this is what you said. I will go with you after the New Year."

"Are you sure you can take care of the household affairs in such a short time?"

The smile on Fu Qing's face froze instantly. After he said that, he remembered that in previous years, Li Xu always set off on the 16th day of the first lunar month. This meant that he only had half a month to prepare. To be honest, the time was not enough.

He pondered for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Old Li, can you wait for me for a few days? Not too long, ten... no, seven days will be enough?"

Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't even mention seven days. I can even wait for you for half a month. We'll meet up in Wuhan then."

What he feared most was paying off and saying that there was enough time.

Because he will have to donate money to Wuhan University at that time, it is not appropriate to let Fu Qing know about this for the time being.

To put it simply, Li Xu needs to give Fu Qing some time to digest the situation, otherwise he will not be able to accept it.

A smile appeared on Fu Qing's face again, and he said excitedly, "Lao Li, you are still a true brother."
