Li Jiuqing felt that Li Xiyue's words were suffocating her. This kind of pressure, this tone, this way of thinking was something that even a young lady like her, who grew up abroad and lived in a family power struggle every day, could not handle.
Her gaze remained fixed on Li Xiyue. The poor, uncultured girl she once thought she was had such insight and understanding!
They just casually dug a pit for her; if she says the wrong thing, she'll fall into it!
She instantly focused all her attention; words that used to slip out of her mouth now required her to think before speaking.
She said, "Grandpa's abilities are naturally beyond our reach and cannot be surpassed."
I am my grandfather's eldest granddaughter. I respect and admire him. Even if I have achieved something, it is the result of his earnest teachings since I was a child.
When Grandpa returns to China and you meet him, you'll know how kind and approachable he is.
Grandpa doted on me so much! He even personally checked on my homework when I was little!
She had to establish her relationship with her grandfather in front of Li Xiyue.
Otherwise, she was really afraid that Li Xiyue would complain about her to her grandfather!
Li Xiyue said, "I'm also really looking forward to seeing Grandpa and seeing what his attitude is towards my family!"
This statement has a double meaning; she wants to see how her grandfather treats her family.
If the grandfather felt both guilt and love for her father, then it was a case of filial piety between father and son.
Then she can accept this grandfather as her own.
If not, her family really doesn't lack ancestors who meddle in her family affairs!
Li Wenbo said, "Yue'er, let's eat! Didn't you say you were hungry?"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Yes, yes, my daughter is hungry. I'll go get some rice right now!"
The pork rib soup had been prepared long ago and simmering on the stove, just waiting for Li Xiyue to wake up so the whole family could have dinner.
Cheng Xiaohui carried the pot of pork rib soup directly to the table, where she set out everyone's bowls and chopsticks, as well as a large bowl of rice.
She served her daughter rice and pork rib soup, and put the meatiest pieces of pork ribs into her daughter's bowl.
No matter how Li Jiuqing explained, her words made her very uncomfortable. Her daughter's company almost became a family business.
Li Jiuqing walked into the living room and went to her usual seat.
She could clearly sense that Li Wenbo and Cheng Xiaohui's attitude towards him had instantly turned cold.
Normally, Cheng Xiaohui would warmly serve her rice and dishes, but today Cheng Xiaohui ignored her and only served rice to her own daughter's daughter.
Cheng Xiaohui and Li Wenbo each served themselves their own rice and dishes.
Li Jiuqing had no choice but to serve himself the rice and soup.
This feeling is awful; it's like he's suddenly become the eyesore in this family...
She kept her head down and silently ate the rice in her bowl.
At this point, she could only admit defeat, feign weakness, and put herself in the lowest position to gain sympathy.
Li Xiyue took big bites of the ribs. The ribs her mother bought were really fatty, all meat on them!
The pork ribs closest to the bone are the most fragrant and delicious. She ate all the pork rib soup her mother served in one go, and also finished a large bowl of rice.
After finishing her meal, she told her mother that she was going to the factory to see how it was doing.
Li Jiuqing found it boring to stay at home, so she made up an excuse to go to the military region to see her superiors, and she left the Li family.
Li Xiyue walked into an empty alley and immediately entered the spatial passage.
Li Jiuqing glanced at Li Xiyue out of the corner of her eye as she turned into another passage. She hurriedly walked back and followed her into the alley.
To her surprise, there was no sign of Li Xiyue in the long alley.
She stood there stunned for a moment. The alley was very, very long, and judging by the time it took, it was impossible for Li Xiyue to have run out of the alley so quickly.
But there were no side streets or entrances/exits in the alley, so where could Li Xiyue go?
She subconsciously looked up at the sky and then at the ground. Could it be that Li Xiyue could go to heaven or earth?
Her thought process instantly became a knot!
Li Xiyue drove her car out of the space through the exit of the space passage.
Her car was driving on a quiet suburban highway when she turned the steering wheel and drove into her printing factory.
When the gatekeeper at the printing factory saw Li Xiyue's car arrive, he ran out and opened the large iron gate.
Li Xiyue drove her car directly to the office building.
Mu Jinguo was drinking tea in front of his window when he saw Li Xiyue's car drive into the yard.
He strode downstairs to greet Li Xiyue.
As Li Xiyue entered the office building, she saw Grandpa Mu coming down the stairs.
She stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Mu! What have you decided? Which of those companies do you want to acquire?"
Mu Jinguo said, "I compared several factories and decided to take your advice and acquire the textile factory."
Currently, our domestic production costs are low. We can leverage our huge cost advantage of a large population dividend to drive down clothing prices to the lowest possible level and sell the produced clothing abroad!
"Having our own textile factory means we can lower the cost of our own fabrics, giving our garments a greater competitive edge internationally!"
Li Xiyue said, "Since you've made up your mind, I'll take you to the bureau and talk to the bureau leaders about the situation so we can arrange the acquisition of the factory as soon as possible. This whole process will take at least a few months."
Mu Jinguo said in surprise, "It will take several months? It will take that long?"
Li Xiyue said, "After all, we have just started reform and opening up, and there are many procedures that no one has gone through before, so the procedures are a bit cumbersome. In a few years, it will be better and the procedures will become simpler and simpler."
However, I believe that mastering one skill can be a lifesaver. In this matter, we must be at the forefront, becoming among the first to ride the wave of reform and opening up, and earn our first fortune!
Mu Jinguo nodded and said, "That's right. No matter when, the first people to make the most money are always the ones who follow the trend later. Those who follow the trend usually don't make much money."
"Let's go talk to the bureau leaders and get the factory acquired as soon as possible!"
Li Xiyue drove Mu Jinguo back to the city to talk to the bureau leaders about the factory acquisition.
In this day and age, meetings are held for everything, let alone something as important as this. There are countless meetings, big and small, and it might take hundreds of meetings to get it done.
While in the car, Mu Jinguo asked, "Yue'er, do you know anything about my grandson's situation?"
Li Xiyue said, "I heard that he is currently on the battlefield in the south. I heard that he was injured a few days ago, but he is almost fully recovered now and should be completely healed in a few days."
I've heard the fighting is going very well at the front. Even though we're outnumbered and have inferior weapons, we have the advantage!
Mu Jinguo said with a smile, "That's great! Our soldiers are really amazing, they can still win under such unfavorable conditions!"
When will my grandson be able to return to the capital? I miss him so much!
