Chapter 07 Thomas the Little Train
Li Wenzhao sneered, and stopped talking to the crazy housekeeper. He smiled and went to see Mr. Xie.
The Xie family and the Li family are old friends. Although the elders of the Li family are gone, Li Wenzhao still maintains their relationship.
"Mr. Xie." Li Wenzhao nodded slightly.
Grandpa Xie had a kind face, leaning on his crutches, and smiled: "I'm here, oh, Mingzhi is here too."
Li Mingzhi smiled obediently: "Thank you, Grandpa." Li
Wenzhao said softly: "My second and third brothers have an overseas meeting and can't leave, so they asked me to say hello to you."
"Young people have important work, and I'm already very happy that you're here." Grandpa Xie tapped his crutches: "Come on, come on, follow me into the house."
At Grandpa Xie's age, he always loves the young people he likes, holding Li Wenzhao in one hand and Li Mingzhi in the other, and he has been rare for a long time.
Jingyi was catching criminals carrying dangerous goods in the crowd, and Secretary Fan suddenly started the car. Jing Yi turned his head and said, "Secretary Fan, aren't you going in?"
Fan Ming said, "No, I need to calm down."
Jing Yi boldly speculated, "Have the Xie family become too rich and blinded?" "
The salary increase is too much." Fan Ming held the steering wheel and lowered his head, "I am flattered."
Jing Yi was jealous: "..."
It's been more than three hours, and you haven't calmed down yet?
Humans' joys and sorrows are indeed not the same.
Secretary Fan drove away to calm down, and Jing Yi entered the banquet hall as an entourage.
The Xie family is also a wealthy family with a well-known reputation. The banquet venue was decorated very luxuriously.
Li Wenzhao was led by Mr. Xie to toast in the crowd of celebrities, while Li Mingzhi jumped around and disappeared.
"Butler Jing." A hand was placed on Jing Yi's shoulder, and Li Mingzhi came out from nowhere, "There are cola chicken wings on the table over there, I'll take you to eat."
Whatever you want to eat, you get it. Jing Yi pursed his lips and glanced at Li Wenzhao. It was still early for the banquet, and the criminals should not act so quickly. He should be able to make it in time if he went early and came back early. He
mainly wanted to try the cola chicken wings at the banquet of the rich and what was the difference between it and the ones in the hotel outside.
It had nothing to do with greed.
When they arrived at the dining table, Jing Yi found Fan Ming was also there, "Secretary Fan, are you ready to calm down?"
"Not yet." Fan Ming picked up a lobster and quickly peeled it, "I'm going to calm down while eating, would you like to join us, Butler Jing?"
"..."
Butler Jing: "Come."
Li Mingzhi also sat down. He was not hungry, so he peeled lobsters for Jing Yi and then asked, "Butler Jing, why do you want to come to this banquet?"
The chicken wings at the banquet were indeed different from those outside. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of freshness and fragrance. Jing Yi chewed them in big mouthfuls. He
said vaguely, "Because I calculated with my fingers that President Li will have a big disaster tonight, so I came here to resolve it."
Fan Ming paused and looked at the seafood on Jing Yi's plate: "President Li will be kidnapped by lobster?"
"What kind of joke are you talking about?" Jing Yi cast a reproachful glance. Secretary Fan really hasn't calmed down yet.
Li Mingzhi asked, "Butler Jing, you haven't told me yet, what disaster will my brother have?"
Jing Yi thought about it and decided to give a hint at this time. If everything goes well, he can have two more pairs of eyes to help him monitor, and the possibility of Li Wenzhao being attacked will be smaller.
"There is a Miss Huo." Jing Yi said the beginning.
"Miss Huo?" Secretary Fan raised his head: "Huo Cenxin?"
Li Mingzhi: "Who did it on purpose?"
The important key words instantly triggered Jing Yi's fighting state. He turned his head and said, "Do you know the vicious official partner?"
Fan Ming didn't know what the vicious official partner meant. He pointed in the direction of Li Wenzhao and said, "Miss Huo is drinking with President Li."
Jing Yi: !!! !!!
In the distance, a group of people gathered around Li Wenzhao. Among them, a woman in a blue fishtail dress came very close and was holding a glass of red wine to clink glasses with Li Wenzhao.
In the original text, the person who drugged was Huo Cenxin. Jing Yi only knew the name, but he couldn't match the real person.
Unexpectedly, this vicious official partner had already jumped to Li Wenzhao's side.
The vulgar plot was about to happen before his eyes.
Jing Yi patted Secretary Fan on the shoulder, "Boss Li just raised your salary by 20,000, why don't you stop him from drinking?"
Fan Ming said coldly, "I drive, I don't drink."
Jing Yi, "I'll call a driver for you, you drink."
Fan Ming, "???"

Banquet center.
Huo Cenxin raised her glass with a smile, "For the cooperation between our two companies, I toast to you."
Business dealings often require socializing over wine. Li Wenzhao took a glass of wine from a passing waiter, "Boss Huo, please."
The waiter bowed slightly and secretly winked at Huo Cenxin. Huo Cenxin understood and raised his glass, "Cheers." Li Wenzhao
slowly moved the glass closer to his lips.
Huo Cenxin took a sip of the red wine, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Hello, President Huo." A figure suddenly appeared beside Li Wenzhao, raised his glass and clinked it with hers: "President Li can't hold his liquor, I'll drink with you."
Huo Cenxin was stunned, where did this person come from?
Li Wenzhao frowned slightly, obviously didn't understand why his secretary suddenly started to go crazy.
Until he turned his eyes and saw Jing Yi staring at the glass in his hand without blinking.
This glass... or wine, is there a problem?
"Sorry, I can't hold my liquor." Li Wenzhao moved the glass away from his mouth: "Next time I'll host and treat President Huo properly."
Huo Cenxin almost couldn't keep the smile on his face: "President Li, you're joking, I thought you were sincere in cooperating with our Huo Group, but I didn't expect that I was still too arrogant, and you didn't even want to drink a glass of wine." Jing Yi almost couldn't hold back his
laughter after hearing what she said.
[Hahahahahahaha, which good company would complain about bad things? Don't you think it's unlucky when you introduce yourself? Hahaha]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
So this is the reason why you don't let me drink?
"Boss Huo, you are too polite." Fan Ming raised his glass and drank it all: "Our Boss Li attaches great importance to the contract with Huo's, but he has been feeling unwell recently and cannot drink. I will drink with you on his behalf. I'll finish first, you can do whatever you want."
Huo Cen took a sip with a fake smile, "Okay, Secretary Fan, let's drink together."
There is nothing to be afraid of if someone resists drinking. Even if he gets the secretary drunk, Li Wenzhao will not be able to escape.
Fan Ming was overwhelmed, glared at Butler Jing, picked up the wine glass and was about to pour it into his mouth -
a white hand came across, and Jing Yi took his wine glass away, "Secretary Fan just got promoted and got a raise, and he is very emotional, so he shouldn't drink. Let me and Mr. Huo drink."
[You cruel and ruthless villain, the villain among villains, I will make you drunk to death! ]
Jing Yi took the bottle and poured the wine into Huo Cenxin's high-legged cup.
"It's all in the wine, Mr. Huo, please."
Huo Cenxin: "..."
Huo Cenxin's hand trembled, and half of the glass of wine was spilled.
Where did these big grasshoppers come from?
Huo Cenxin was almost shocked to death, how could she not toast with such a small glass of wine.
... It's not important, it's not important.
Even when they were drunk, she could still take down Li Wenzhao...
"Butler Jing, I remember you don't drink." Li Mingzhi raised the glass in a sociable manner: "Sister Huo, I'll drink with you on behalf of our butler."
Jing Yi said modestly: "Let me do it."
Fan Ming thought about the 20,000 yuan salary increase he had just received, and refused to give in: "It's the secretary's duty to block the wine. Since Butler Jing doesn't drink, you'd better not cause trouble for President Li."
Li Mingzhi: "I'm the younger brother, and I should drink on behalf of my elder brother."
Several people lined up between Li Wenzhao and Huo Cenxin.
Huo Cenxin: "..."
Numb.
The three people started arguing for no apparent reason. Jing Yi was pushed and staggered, bumping into Li Wenzhao, and his palm flew, knocking the cup out of his hand.
"Pah."
The wine splashed all over the floor.
Jing Yi blinked, satisfied, the crisis was resolved.
Huo Cenxin's face was green, and she hurriedly said that she had something to do, and left with her skirt lifted.
Jing Yi exhaled a deep breath.
[The crisis is resolved, Mr. Li should not have been drugged...]
Li Wenzhao's pupils shrank, drugged? Huo Cenxin would drug him?
Why did the little housekeeper say it now!
[Yeah, successfully helped the Li family avoid a big pit]
[However... Although Huo Cenxin is vicious, he is very good at falling in love, otherwise he would not have bewitched the eldest master Li into a love-minded person who is even more stupid than Li Mingzhi in the later period. After all, the young master only gave away the property under his name, but Li Wenzhao packed up the entire Li family and gave it away. 】
【Hiss...Come to think of it, have I ruined the marriage of Li's family? There are also Li Xu and Li Ting... Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless me】
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He, he is also a love-brain?
A love-brain that is even dumber than Li Mingzhi?
There are also Li Xu and Li Ting...?
In the corner of his eye, his younger brother Li Mingzhi looked at him with complicated eyes.
Brother, everyone in our family is a love-brain.
Li·Potential·Big Love-Brain: "..."
Nonsense!
【The alarm is lifted, you can eat your meal without worry. I have preserved the innocence of President Li. Woohoo, I am such a good and competent housekeeper. I would be unworthy of my loyalty if I didn't bring a plate of small cakes.
"Housekeeper Jing." Li Mingzhi said, "The small cakes over there are delicious. Do you want to go and try them together?"
Jing Yi's eyes were relieved: "Okay."
Secretary Fan looked at the sweet cakes on the table over there, "I don't like sweets. You guys go. I still want to eat seafood."
The three of them parted ways in front of Li Wenzhao and ran to the corner of the banquet to eat and drink.
After such a commotion, Li Wenzhao felt that everything he saw was like it was spiced, and he dared not drink anything. After wishing his old man a happy birthday and giving him a birthday gift, he took the three hungry ghosts in the corner and went home.
The butler hadn't eaten enough yet. Before he was taken away, he put a few small cakes into his pocket and ate and took them.
The driver that Jing Yi had called in advance had arrived. Secretary Fan sat in the passenger seat, and Li Wenzhao and Li Mingzhi got into the back seat.
Jing Yi...
"Butler Jing, butler Jing." Li Mingzhi moved his butt inside, and Li Wenzhao was pushed against the car window by him. "Sit next to me, we can eat while chatting."
"Good idea." Jing Yi got into the car and generously shared the spoils he brought out from the Xie family. "Young Master, do you want some small cakes?"
Although he said so, Jing Yi knew that Li Wenzhao didn't like sweet things and would not eat such things. However, as a competent butler, he still asked in a sociable way.
"Yeah."
A cold male voice.
Then Jing Yi watched the small cake in his hand start to move.
Jing Yi: Look...
Don't you not eat sweet things? !
Li Wenzhao tore open the package and took a bite.
He didn't dare to eat anything at the banquet. He was hungry. This small cake has been tested for poison, so he can eat it with peace of mind.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the three returned to Li's house.
Li Wenzhao was extremely tired. Attending a birthday banquet was more tiring than attending a day-long meeting.
Li Ting was boxing in the gym next to the living room. When he saw Li Wenzhao coming back, he took off his boxing gloves and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "You came back so early, I thought Grandpa Xie would let you stay for one night."
Li Wenzhao hummed and called the kitchen to serve the food: "I came back when I was hungry."
Li Ting: "?"
Didn't the big boss of the Xie family have any dishes you like at the banquet?
At the gate, Li Mingzhi and Jing Yi walked in muttering.
"By the way, brother." Li Ting said, "My company has just signed an investment contract. They are going to build a new amusement park in the north of the city. The funds are still short. Are you interested?"
[Amusement park in the north of the city? ! ! ]
The shout was loud and sounded like a thunder in the ears.
The three brothers of the Li family were shocked and almost lost their hearing on the spot - what is the young housekeeper yelling again? !
Jing Yi's eyes fell on Li Ting, and his mind quickly recalled the plot of the novel.
[Yes, I remember, there was a problem with the location of the amusement park. There was an underground river hidden underneath. Not long after the construction started, the ground collapsed and directly buried the entire project site.]
Li Ting was stunned.
[If I invest in this project, Li Ting will lose everything, right?]
[I have to find a way to hint...]
"Third brother." Li Mingzhi suddenly said, "I think you are capable and steady, and you are not suitable for such a childish project. Why don't you not invest."
Li Ting nodded decisively: "What I said makes sense, I will contact the secretary to withdraw my investment."
Jing Yi: ???
No, how can it make sense?
Paper people in novels are amazing, they grab all the lines. Why
don't you let me show my talents?
