Chapter 346 Wen Leyu: I was only seventeen when I met you
Li Ye felt a chill as soon as he put down the phone after talking to Pei Wencong.
He turned around suddenly and found his sister Li Yue standing at the door, looking at him with a cold and fierce gaze.
Li Yue waved the kitchen knife in his hand and said coldly: "Xiao Ye! I just heard you say that 19-year-old girls are too old?"
Li Ye was stunned. I just said it casually, why do you have to extend it to yourself?
But sister Li Yue saw that Li Ye was playing dumb, so she turned around and asked, "Xiao Yu, did you hear that?"
Wen Leyu also came up and nodded with a smile.
Li Ye was much more serious with Wen Leyu. He smiled gently and said, "Xiaoyu, when I met you, weren't you eighteen years old?"
Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye, and actually tilted his head to think about it, then corrected himself: "No, I was seventeen that year."
Li Ye smiled and said, "In fact, for pretty girls, every year is eighteen, and those who resent the years for making them old are ugly."
"I just talked to Lao Pei on the phone. It was because there was a woman in her thirties who insisted on being friends with him, so I rejected him with such cruel words."
Li Ye was helpless and pushed Pei Wencong out, which aroused the gossip of Li Yue and Wen Leyu.
In fact, Li Ye and his sister Li Yue have not spoken to each other these days, or rather, his sister Li Yue has been angry with him since she returned to the capital from Nanyang.
When Li Ye casually told his sister that he wanted to write a novel about Fu Guiru, his sister Li Yue immediately became concerned about her. After Li Ye came back, she pestered him with questions.
But Li Ye didn't even have an outline in his mind! How could he satisfy his sister's inquiry?
Then Li Yue scolded Li Ye for being heartless, writing so many historical novels and busying with so many businesses all day long, but not doing anything "meaningful".
Li Ye knew that his sister was sad about Fu Guiru. After all, in her memory, her mother had disappeared in the black waves on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of that year.
Fu Guiru told Li Ye to "give her some more time", so Li Ye felt a little guilty for not telling her the truth for the time being.
Today, Li Ye came to wait for Pei Wencong's call at five o'clock, and also wanted to finish the communication with Pei Wencong before his sister Li Yue came back from get off work.
Unexpectedly, Pei Wencong was forty minutes late, which was why Li Ye said in anger, "Nineteen is too old."
"Pei Wencong is the same. Why would he mess with a woman like that?"
"Sister Xiaoyue, this situation is not Mr. Pei's fault. A bachelor like him will definitely attract a group of beautiful women in a place like Hong Kong Island."
The two beauties chatted about gossip endlessly and Li Ye couldn't get a word in.
"Sister, let's have dinner tonight."
"Oh, I almost forgot. Here's a kitchen knife. Go cut the vegetables and I'll cook them."
“.”
Looking at the kitchen knife in his hand, Li Ye had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen silently.
In fact, when my sister Li Yue was in her hometown of Qinghe, she basically didn’t cook.
But since she came to Beijing, she usually cooks by herself whenever she is at home and does not let her younger brother Li Ye cook.
This is the responsibility of a sister.
Even decades later, it is common for girlfriends to ask their boyfriends to cook, but it is rare for sisters to ask their brothers to cook for them.
However, the "melon" that Li Ye threw out today was a bit big. Pei Wencong was actually entangled by a woman in her thirties. It was enough for the two beauties to chat for more than half an hour. If he relied on her to cook, he would go hungry.
Li Ye skillfully cut the vegetables and chopped the meat, then heated the oil in the wok and fiddled with it. It didn't take much effort.
But just when the food was about to be served, Wen Leyu asked Li Ye through the door: "Li Ye, where is your inspiration note? Let me see."
While Li Ye was busy, he said without turning his head: "In the second drawer, the black book."
When writing novels, inspiration is fleeting, so Li Ye has the habit of recording at any time. Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of notes, some of which are useful and some are not. Wen Leyu will occasionally look through them, but Li Ye never cares.
However, after Wen Leyu left, Li Ye realized that it was probably because his sister Li Yue was still unwilling to give up and wanted to see the "inspiration and materials" that Li Ye mentioned, and then write a novel in memory of Fu Guiru.
"Alas~"
Li Ye sighed but did not stop him. If Li Yue could express his love for Fu Guiru through words, it might not be a bad thing.
However, when Li Ye brought four dishes and a soup to the table, he saw that Li Yue and Wen Leyu were not looking at any inspiration notes at all. Instead, they were each holding a watch and talking and laughing with each other.
"Li Ye, you bought a watch without telling me. Why? Isn't it for Xiaoyu? Or do you want to give her a surprise?"
"Sister Xiaoyue, don't talk nonsense. This watch of Li Ye should be useful!"
Li Ye put the dishes away, walked over and said, "This watch is indeed for the two of you, but it was not bought by me, but given to me by an enthusiastic overseas Chinese."
"It was given to me by someone else?" Li Yue was stunned, and immediately said, "Xiao Ye, how can you just ask for something from someone so casually? This watch doesn't look cheap, it must be several hundred yuan at least, right?"
“.”
Li Ye smiled and said, "It is indeed expensive, but I promised to help her find her relatives in the mainland, so this is the reward they gave me!"
"Well, then you must help them find it."
Li Yue put on the watch and liked it more and more the more he looked at it.
But Li Ye said awkwardly: "Sister, this. At that time, someone gave me two watches, these two"
Li Ye pointed at the IWC watch and the Cartier watch in Wen Leyu's hand.
Then he pointed to the Blancpain on Li Yue's wrist and said, "Later, people knew I had a girlfriend, so they gave me this one. So."
"Hahahaha~, Xiaoyu, look, I guessed it right after all, didn't I?"
After hearing Li Ye's embarrassed explanation, sister Li Yue was not upset, but burst into laughter.
After laughing, Li Yue said: "When I saw these two watches, I immediately determined that the good watch was for Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu insisted that the one with the thin watch chain was hers.
I wonder if Xiaoyu has never heard the saying "Marry a wife and forget your mother"? How can you not leave the best things to your wife? Here, this is yours.
Sister Li Yue took off the Blancpain, pressed it in Wen Leyu's hand, and took back the Cartier that belonged to her.
But Wen Leyu flashed his big eyes at Li Ye, obviously wanting to exchange the two watches back.
If a watch worth 100,000 yuan or 1 million yuan cannot be distinguished by normal people, it is definitely a failure.
As soon as you get your hands on that Blancpain, you can clearly feel that it is better than Cartier.
But the Cartier watch was chosen by Fu Guiru for Li Yue. It is fashionable and novel, and very suitable for the temperament of a girl in her early twenties.
Although the Blancpain looks expensive at first glance, it has a "dignified" style, which is more suitable for the "mistress of the house".
Let alone Wen Leyu being a "mature woman" now, neither she nor Li Ye had revealed that layer. Her mental age was that of a little girl, and of course she preferred the young and fashionable Cartier.
Li Ye's mind turned, and he explained with a smile: "This watch is a token of my love, don't despise it!
In addition, Xiaoyu's watch is designed to be more stable and suitable for mature girls, but Xiaoyu, won't it be suitable for you in a few years? Leave it here for now."
"No, I'm wearing it right now."
Wen Leyu didn't even listen to Li Ye finish his words, his attitude suddenly changed, he quickly put the Blancpain on his wrist, looked from left to right, and became more and more satisfied.
“.”
Li Ye had to admit that women were a mixture of contradictions.
The older women are, the more they hate being called mature. They are only satisfied if people say they are as tender as leeks.
The younger the girls are, the more they hate being called immature and wish others would say they are "mature and feminine."
This is a contradiction, an unsolvable one.
. . . . . .
The three of them had just picked up their chopsticks and were ready to enjoy Li Ye's cooking skills when they heard Pavlov barking "Woof woof woof".
Then the sound of a car was heard, and Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui both arrived.
Li Yue laughed and scolded, "You two came here because of the smell, right? The timing is just right."
Pei Wenhui and Li Yue were already very familiar with each other, and she smiled and replied, "We thought that you didn't cook for us, so we ate outside!"
"What a joke! I haven't cooked your meal yet and you don't have your chopsticks yet? Hurry up and get your own bowl and chopsticks to eat."
"Hey~, Sister Xiaoyue, you are so generous."
Pei Wenhui took the bowl and chopsticks with a smile, and considerately scooped some thin rice porridge for Li Dayong. Her gentle look made Li Yue pout.
If we have to make a comparison, then sister Li Yue is a typical northern girl, and Pei Wenhui is an authentic southern girl.
Wen Leyu, on the other hand, has both, perfect!
After finishing the meal, Li Dayong smiled and said to Li Ye: "Brother, let's go out and try out the new car! You haven't driven it since it was registered!"
Pei Wencong bought his sister a small BMW with a joint venture license plate. These days, the two of them spent the whole day practicing driving together. Their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds, and Li Dayong gradually lost his initial shyness.
"Oh, you are showing off to me!"
Li Ye smiled, stood up and went out with Li Dayong.
He knew Li Dayong's character and he was definitely not showing off to him, but he had something going on.
After the two of them went out, Li Ye took the lead in driving and drove north for more than ten miles. It was really exciting and enjoyable.
"Brother, there was a big fight at Changbei Machinery Company yesterday. Director Wang almost slammed the table with the Hong Kong side, saying that your sales incentive plan was nonsense and that the person who drafted the plan was a bad element."
"Squeak~"
Li Ye parked the car on the side of the road and tilted his head to look at Li Dayong: "You said I'm a bad guy? Is that his mentality?"
The joint venture between Changbei Machinery Factory and Hongdao was finally completed after the Spring Festival this year. It was renamed "Changbei Machinery Co., Ltd.", with Hongdao holding a 49% stake.
However, the Hong Kong side was responsible for the two core aspects of technology research and development and sales, so Li Ye thought the deal was still okay. However, he never expected that something went wrong just after the business opened.
