Before Li Shiqi could finish her complaints, Li Shiwen continued with a proud look on her face, "Do you think you're the only one who can invest in movies? My mom also helped me find a movie to invest in! The movie I invested in has big stars in it, and it's much better than the one you invested in!"
Li Shiqi: ...You don't have to compete with me on this!
Li Shiqi really felt helpless about this matter.
Because during the Chinese New Year, Hong Kong's upper class is keen on holding banquets, and many dignitaries and celebrities will actively participate in various banquets in order to expand their network or maintain relationships.
Li Shiqi was inevitably taken to such dinner parties by the elders in her family.
There, Li Shiqi kept smiling the whole time, not daring to cause any trouble, and just wanted it to end quickly so she could go home early.
But she doesn't cause trouble, but trouble still causes her trouble.
At the party, the old lady also has her own social circle, which is also made up of elderly people from the powerful circle who gather together to chat.
As for the elderly, what they talk about most when they are together is not their children and grandchildren.
Some children and grandchildren are not very good, and scandals about them appear in the news every now and then, and some even have illegitimate children.
Some people also talked about their children studying abroad, who only knew how to squander money and have fun, and had no ambition to make progress at all.
Of course, there were also people talking about their children's success. Someone wanted to flatter Old Mrs. Li, so he talked about Li Guanhua, who had just returned from studying abroad and was working efficiently in the family group.
When Mrs. Li heard someone praising her eldest grandson, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Her eldest grandson is indeed worthy of praise. Not long after he came back, he helped the family win a big order in the United States. He is calm and experienced in his work. He can do many things very well when given to him. It is worth all the careful cultivation of her and the old man over the years!
However, when mentioning Li Guanhua, we cannot help but mention his sister Li Shiqi.
After all, Li Shiqi has caused a lot of jokes among the younger generation. Not to mention other things, Li Shiqi had a quarrel with her parents and brother at home because of a poor boyfriend. Although there was no follow-up on this matter, many people speculated that the elders of the Li family were afraid of causing family disgrace and took action to settle it, but she still could not avoid being criticized by the elders of the upper class!
Everyone used the incident caused by Li Shiqi to warn the younger generations in their family not to learn from her!
However, after hearing about that incident, Li Shiqi was taken to the old house by the old man and old lady of the Li family and educated in their presence.
So during this period of time, Li Shiqi has not made any jokes.
Look, at this banquet, Li Shiqi just sat there obediently and ate dessert, just like a normal lady from a noble family.
Therefore, some people immediately praised Li Shiqi for being more sensible than before.
It is also a disguised compliment to the old lady of the Li family for her ability to raise children.
When the old lady of the Li family heard someone mention Li Shiqi, she looked not far away and saw her granddaughter sitting there obediently and not causing any trouble, so she nodded with satisfaction.
"Children are different every day! They may be ignorant when they are young, but they will be sensible when they grow up!" Old Mrs. Li made up for her granddaughter's previous behavior.
In order to clear up the bad impression that Li Shiqi had left on people in the past, the old lady talked about the changes that Li Shiqi had undergone during this period.
In the old lady's eyes, her granddaughter must find a husband in the upper class in the future, and she cannot leave a bad impression in front of her future husband's family because of her past mischievous behavior.
Speaking of this, he mentioned that his granddaughter had invested in a movie.
"Ah! This little girl, I don't know why she wants to invest in movies. I knew she likes watching movies and discussing the plots with her classmates. But who would have thought that this girl would quietly ask her brother's secretary to help collect all the film projects that are still raising funds, and then pick out a movie to invest in. Oh, you say that little girl, in the past she would use the money to buy things, but now I don't know what she is thinking, she actually goes out to invest! These kids are really smart!"
The old lady of the Li family spoke to her granddaughter with a look of reproach on her face, but in fact, everyone could see that she was praising her granddaughter for not spending money indiscriminately on things at such a young age, but instead looking for projects to invest in.
Isn't this much better than those unfilial descendants who cause trouble in their families?
Although she was outshined, many people around her still complimented Mrs. Li.
Second Aunt Li, who was sitting here hoping to develop her own network through the old lady's circle, felt very uncomfortable at the moment.
Originally, this group of people were praising Li Guanhua, the head of the Li family, and their words implied that Li Guanhua would definitely be able to make the Li Group flourish in the future.
Isn’t this just saying that the Li family will all belong to Li Guanhua in the future?
How could this not make Aunt Li angry?
What made her even more angry was that she was unable to refute it!
Li Guanhua handled every matter in the group company very well, and recently signed a very large order for Li's, which made the old man in the family praise his eldest grandson.
In comparison, their second wife has no presence at home at all!
Not to mention Li Laoer, he is weak and has no ambition. He doesn't want to take care of anything at home and only wants to go fishing and climbing mountains.
Since she got married, Aunt Li has tried every possible way, but she just can't inspire her husband's ambition. After so many years, she can only give up helplessly.
If you can’t count on your husband, you can count on your children!
As a result, they only gave birth to a daughter after several years of marriage. The daughter was not very smart and usually only bullied Li Shiqi, the head of the family, and did not get any benefits at all!
After waiting for several more years, she finally gave birth to a son!
But my son is only in elementary school now, so I can’t rely on him right now!
Aunt Li was very worried and frustrated. If this continued, she was afraid that all the family resources would be taken away by the eldest family!
Aunt Li had always disliked the eldest lady, and now she heard that the people around her not only praised Li Guanhua of the eldest lady, but also praised Li Guanhua's sister, but did not praise her children at all!
Aunt Li, who had been fighting openly and secretly with her elder sister-in-law for more than ten years, was surprisingly angry!
I feel disdainful inside, but isn’t it just an investment?
There are so many investment projects in Hong Kong, what’s there to praise!
So, later on, Aunt Li helped Li Shiwen and selected a film project for investment!
This time, Li Shiwen had just signed a film investment contract the day before, and on the first day of school, she couldn't wait to run to Li Shiqi to show off!
