Not long after Ran Qingqing returned, she received a call, asking Li Rong to come and sit with her brother at home when she was free.
Li Rong was very grateful to Ran Qingqing. She guessed that she had taken her request to heart and raised it when she got home. However, it didn't feel good to come directly to the door. Li Rong felt that she should be more careful when discussing business.
She said: "Let's treat you to a meal at the Yellow River Hotel."
"What are you doing with those things? Just come to my house."
Ran Qingqing was okay, but Li Rong had never met her husband, didn't know him well, and couldn't guess. But since he kept talking about home, Li Rong could only nod: "When is it convenient for you? Is it okay tomorrow night?"
The sooner Li Xuanzhi's matter is resolved, the better. Li Rong hopes to put everything on the agenda and resolve his second brother's matter first.
Ran Qingqing said yes and hung up the phone. Li Rong immediately sent a message back to Li Xuanzhi and made an appointment.
Ran Qingqing's family lived in a small single-family European-style villa with a yard inside.
When Xiaobao saw Li Rong, he couldn't help but glance behind her: "Auntie, where is An'an?"
"I didn't bring An An," Li Rong smiled. She came here mainly to ask for help. It was because An An played well with Xiaobao that Li Rong didn't bring An An. It seemed like she wanted to use An An to build friendship.
When Xiaobao heard that An An didn't come, his face was full of disappointment.
Li Rong rubbed his head: "Didn't I play with An An in the kindergarten today? I can see him again at school tomorrow."
Ran Qingqing walked down the stairs and smiled when she saw Li Rong: "Here you come, I was thinking that I would call you if you didn't come."
Li Rong handed a box to Ran Qingqing. As soon as the latter opened it, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Hair flower? Did you make it by yourself? It's so beautiful!"
Li Rong acquiesced, then pointed to Li Xuanzhi next to him and introduced him to Ran Qingqing: "This is my second brother."
Li Xuanzhi took out the tea gift box that he had prepared a long time ago. Ran Qingqing had nothing to ask for, so he said to the servant next to him: "Go and call sir to come down."
She let Xiaobao go play and called a servant to make tea for Li Rong and the others.
When the tea was served, Ran Qingqing's husband appeared.
Li Rong remembered that Ran Qingqing once said that her husband liked to wear printed shirts and gold watches with big gold chains. She also said that he was a nouveau riche. When she met someone today, Li Rong discovered that what Ran Qingqing said——
That’s right!
Diao Qihu was tall and strong, but not oppressive. Li Rong and the others had to wear coats. Diao Qihu was wearing a floral shirt with short sleeves, and the big gold chain around his neck was really eye-catching.
There are no flowery shirts in winter, so I don't know what he is wearing. Li Rong couldn't help but want to laugh, but she held it back.
Ran Qingqing said to Diao Qihu in disgust: "Why don't you change your clothes when I ask you to?"
Diao Qihu snorted: "What are you changing into? It's comfortable to wear like this."
He calmly sat down next to Ran Qingqing, and without caring about the presence of Li Rong and the others, he directly put his arms around Ran Qingqing's shoulders.
Ran Qingqing shook him off: "There are guests here! They are always serious! This is Li Rong, Xiaobao's mother. She is also a very powerful fashion designer and graduated from Tsinghua University."
After being thrown away by Ran Qingqing, Diao Qihu seemed to be used to it and didn't feel embarrassed. He glanced at Li Rong: "You are the Miss Li that my wife talks about every day, right?"
Li Rong nodded: "Hello."
"Miss Li knew she was a cultured person as soon as she opened her mouth," Diao Qihu chuckled twice, "I heard you have something to do with me?"
"It's not me, it's mainly because my second brother encountered some trouble, so he went to find Xiaobao's mother," Li Rong glanced at Li Xuanzhi, "This is my second brother, Li Xuanzhi."
Li Xuanzhi showed a friendly smile to Diao Qihu, polite but not flattering: "Hello, I am Li Xuanzhi."
As expected of a brother and sister, they both spoke with the same culture. Diao Qihu sat up straight and said, "I'm Diao Qihu."
Li Rong couldn't help but laugh.
Ran Qingqing felt a little embarrassed and patted Diao Qihu's arm.
Li Xuanzhi laughed calmly: "Mr. Diao is really good-natured, very good."
"You see, everyone has agreed," Diao Qihu said carelessly, and probably not used to beating around the bush, he said directly, "My wife likes Miss Li very much. Since he is your biological brother, tell me if you want to find me.
How can I help?"
Li Rong gave Li Xuanzhi a wink, and Li Xuanzhi immediately understood and briefly explained his situation: "That's probably it. It may be that the year has been unlucky and someone has cheated me. I heard that Mr. Diao is engaged in building materials."
I also work as a project contractor, so I asked my little sister to ask for help."
Diao Qihu nodded after listening to his words, and then cursed: "This industry is really deep. Some people have their consciences eaten by dogs just to make a few bucks."
He seemed to be very interested in Li Xuanzhi's choice to quit his job in his thirties and go to work. He asked: "Where did you work before?"
There was nothing to hide, Li Xuanzhi told him directly.
Diao Qihu gave a thumbs up: "You are so courageous, Brother Li. The deputy director just resigned after just saying that. How many people broke their heads and couldn't even eat the national meal!"
Li Xuanzhi smiled helplessly: "It's better to come out and give it a try before you're old enough to always have a dead salary."
"That's a good idea." Diao Qihu stuffed something that looked like a cigar into his mouth, but he didn't light it because he was biting the thing and his voice was a bit slurred. He asked Li Xuanzhi, "Do you want to buy building materials from me?
Want me to do some work?"
It was not that Li Xuanzhi had never come into contact with people like Diao Qihu, but Diao Qihu was something he couldn't see through.
Just like now, when the other party asked him directly how he could help, Li Xuanzhi was not sure what he meant.
Li Xuanzhi simply stated his demands.
Diao Qihu held the cigar in his hand, thought for a while, and said: "If you want to contract labor, your project is too small, so we won't accept it, but we can sell you building materials. By the way, I know bulk contractors, they are
A few people did it by themselves. Generally speaking, they take over private houses. Do you think it will work?"
Ran Qingqing didn't understand what they were talking about, and Li Rong sat beside her and didn't say anything. Ran Qingqing was afraid that Li Rong would be bored and it would be pointless to listen here, so she asked Li Rong to go out for a walk: "I'll let you know what's going on with you."
You can tell yourself."
About half an hour later, the servant came over and told Ran Qingqing that dinner was ready.
Ran Qingqing invited Li Rong back for dinner.
Diao Qihu's hearty laughter came from the living room. Li Rong walked in, looked at Li Xuanzhi and asked him how he was doing.
Li Rong felt that it should be done, otherwise Li Xuanzhi's expression would not be so relaxed, and there would still be happiness in his eyebrows.
Sure enough, Li Xuanzhi nodded, and Li Rong couldn't help but feel happy. As for the details, he would ask about them later.
