Chapter 1429 The Fastest Way to Understand Human Nature
The next morning, Li Zhongfa, Li Ye and Li Kaijian went together to celebrate the first birthday of Old Song's great-grandson.
Jin Peng happened to be at home, so he asked Wang Jianqiang and Li Dayong to come over early to join in the fun.
When they first ventured into the capital, Jin Peng, Wang Jianqiang and Li Dayong were Li Ye's direct subordinates, while Lao Song, Tan Min and Wei Jiaxian were another small group. However, the two sides only competed secretly, and their relationship on the surface was still quite good.
After getting in the car, Li Dayong asked, "Is Old Song having a banquet at home today? Didn't he book a banquet at a restaurant?"
Li Ye said while driving: "I asked yesterday, and he said that he would hold a wedding banquet at home. He doesn't have many relatives, so at most there will be two tables of guests from the child's grandmother's house."
Wang Jianqiang also said: "Well, I heard from Old Song before that all his relatives are dead."
When the brothers were saying these words, they didn't notice that Li Kaijian and Li Zhongfa next to them both had playful smiles on their faces.
The Song family's home is located in the urban-rural fringe area south of Qingshui County. In the past, there were only a few dilapidated houses without even a courtyard wall, but two years ago, it was rebuilt into a two-story Western-style building. If they want to hold five or six banquets, they don't even have to set them up in the yard.
But when Li Ye and others drove to the vicinity of Lao Song's house, they found that they could not drive close. The entrance of Lao Song's house was like a market, crowded with people, and tables were set up on the street.
Li Ye couldn't help but ask Wang Jianqiang: "Qiangzi, didn't you say that the relatives of the Song family are almost all dead?"
How could Wang Jianqiang answer this question? He had been in the capital for many years and had no idea about the situation in Qingshui County.
Li Zhong gave Li Ye a white look and said, "In the past, the Songs were so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. Of course, all their relatives died. Now that they've become rich, aren't all their relatives crawling out of their graves?"
“Hahahaha~”
Jin Peng and others laughed. They had encountered similar situations over the years, but the contrast between the two was not as strong as that of the old Song couple.
At the beginning, Old Song and his grandson were really struggling to make ends meet. The closer they were to their relatives, the more they tried to avoid them, because they were afraid that Old Song would ask them to borrow money and food.
In order to prevent his grandson from starving, Old Song used his mouth to deceive even the devil.
Seeing Li Ye and others' car approaching, the people at the door hurriedly greeted: "Director Li is here, please make way."
"What Director Li? He's the general manager now."
The Director Li that everyone is talking about is not Li Ye, but Li Kaijian.
The county fertilizer plant has undergone several rounds of expansion over the years and has long been renamed Qingshui Chemical. Li Kaijian has also been promoted to the top leader three times in a row and is definitely a well-known figure in Qingshui County.
Old Song's grandson Song Changchun heard the noise and hurried over from the yard, greeting Li Kaijian as uncle.
"Uncle Li, please come in. We're waiting for you to start the meal. Grandpa Li, please come in quickly. My grandfather is upstairs looking after the children and will be down soon."
Song Changchun benefited from Li Kaijian's care over the years, so he called him uncle and grandpa sincerely.
Li Kaijian pursed his lips at the people around him and said, "Changchun, are these all your relatives? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Song Changchun smiled unnaturally and said, "Some are relatives, some are friends. They heard that my grandfather had returned, so they all came to help."
"Heh, help!"
Li Kaijian sneered and walked into the yard.
Following Li Kaijian's cold laugh, many people around him looked unhappy.
When they saw Li Zhongfa, Jin Peng and others behind them, they felt even more uncomfortable.
If these people had not protected Li Changchun, they would have gained a lot of benefits from Li Changchun long ago.
[Why do the father and son of the Song family have such good luck? Why do the Li family attract so much hatred?]
When Li Ye entered the yard, Old Song had already come down from the second floor and smiled as he invited Li Zhongfa and Li Kaijian to take their seats.
Li Ye took the opportunity to call Lao Song to a place where there was no one.
"Old Song, I received a call from the capital yesterday. The police officer who was in charge of Naoto Nakamura's disappearance case came looking for me again, and he was accompanied by a few Japanese idiots. After all these years, how come they remembered me again?"
Old Song blinked and smiled, saying, "Top Scholar, they couldn't do anything to you back then. So many years have passed, what's the point of them looking for you again?"
Li Ye stared at Old Song and said sternly, "Don't play tricks on me. Tell me the truth. What on earth did you do?"
Old Song pursed his lips and said seriously, "I didn't do anything wrong. A few days ago, Nakamura Kenshou received a notice from the mainland saying that Naoto Nakamura's car had been found, so Nakamura took the opportunity to come to the mainland. I guess he was the one who did it."
Li Ye said calmly, "It's been seven or eight years. How did you suddenly find Naoto Nakamura's car?"
Old Song said frankly, "The car was in the water of Baiyangdian. This year, Baiyangdian is dry, and the water level has dropped, exposing the car."
Li Ye sneered and asked, "Old Song, how do you know so much? Do you have a hidden contact in the police?"
Old Song smiled and said, "Not really, but I was the one who drove the car in."
“.”
Li Ye stared at Lao Song in silence for a full ten seconds, then asked in a low voice, "Did you kill Naoto Nakamura?"
Old Song shook his head and said, "I didn't. Someone else killed them."
"Who is it?"
"Don't ask any more, Mr. Champion. If you continue asking, I'll implicate you."
"You feel like you're involved with me now, you idiot?"
Li Ye kicked Lao Song in annoyance, but Lao Song dodged with a smile.
But Li Ye could feel that Old Song was really old. When he left the capital seven years ago, his legs and feet were much more flexible than they are now.
After Old Song dodged, he said seriously, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhuangyuan, I haven't broken any law. Even if they find out, they can't convict me. When we play against foreigners, we use our minds, not our strength."
"Just blow it!"
Li Ye really wanted to give Old Song a beating, but people kept coming up to him and trying to get close to him, so he couldn't do anything.
"Sixth Grandpa, you've been doing business outside for so many years, you must have made a lot of money for your grandson, right?"
"Haha, I didn't make much, maybe just a few hundred thousand!"
"Hey, a few hundred thousand is not a small amount. Unlike us, we can't even make tens of thousands in our entire lives."
“Hahahahaha~”
After Lao Song sent those people away, Li Ye couldn't help but ask, "Lao Song, why are you bragging to these relatives who are not related to you at all?
Your grandson has been almost unable to cope with them these years. Can you really fill their stomachs by just throwing out hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
"Of course it won't fill you up."
Old Song smiled and said, "Changchun has rarely touched money since he was a child, so he doesn't know how to handle the relationship between money and people. I'm spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to teach him how to judge people. Do you think this deal is worth it?"
Li Ye immediately understood.
If you want a kind person to quickly understand human nature, let him lend money to others. Lending money is the fastest way to understand human nature.
Once you are able to understand who you can lend money to and who you cannot, you will rarely suffer losses in your future life.
