Hearing that there seemed to be many stories in Li Yalin's words, Old Master An said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you talk too much. Let's chat slowly at the dinner table later."
Mr. An had just walked away from the gates of hell, and with serious memory problems, he knew nothing about the most lively things in the United States now.
However, he had a deep understanding of Li Yalin and knew that this kid had a very stubborn temper. It was logical that he would never admit defeat at any time, so he was even more curious about what he had experienced.
Li Yalin knew that it was impossible to explain the three sentences and two sentences with the old man clearly, so he said vaguely: "Okay, Uncle An, I won't say anything wrong with you, I will accompany you later.
You have two drinks!"
The old lady hurriedly said, "Yalin, you can't let Uncle An drink. If he drinks his brain again, he will probably not even recognize me."
"Yes, yes..." Li Yalin came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Blame me, blame me for not considering it well."
The old man smiled and said, "I see your depressed look, and you know that you must have wanted to drink it yourself."
As he said that, he said to An Chongqiu and An Kaifeng: "Chongqiu, Kaifeng, you two will accompany Yalin to drink some later, and I won't drink it."
The two brothers nodded: "Okay dad."
The old man looked at Li Yalin's unconcealable decadence and said seriously: "Yalin! Be more energetic! Look at you now, you don't have the heroic posture you used to be!"
Li Yalin quickly stood up straight and said respectfully: "Uncle An, you are criticizing..."
An Chongqiu looked at the time and said, "Dad, why don't we have a meal first and we will have a chat at the dinner table later."
"Okay." The old man nodded: "Eat first."
The top floor of Anbang Building has a construction area of more than 4,000 square meters. Normally, it can accommodate at least hundreds of people to work, but this entire floor was used by the old man alone at the beginning.
On this floor, there are not only regular office buildings such as offices and conference rooms, but also living facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, physiotherapy rooms and restaurants.
In fact, the old man did not intend to use such a large area as his office space, but when his eldest daughter An Chengqi planned the building, she had already left this floor for him and did it herself, according to his preferences.
The interior decoration, so the old man has a deep relationship with this place.
Afterwards, everyone moved to the Chinese restaurant on the south side of the top floor. Although Li Yalin had a good relationship with An Jia, he hadn't been here for many years. Seeing that it was still brand new everywhere, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He couldn't help but whisper to An Chongqiu: "Chongqiu, your building has been in use for at least 20 or 30 years, right? Why is it still so new?"
An Chongqiu whispered: "The An family has strong financial resources, so the overall building is maintained very well. Basically, it will be renovated every two to three years. This floor is maintained by a dedicated person every day, so I will beat my sister.
After the death, the old man issued a death order. All the pattern here is not allowed to change, so everything you can see on this floor has at least several new sets of spares. Some things that have been discontinued can be paid specially.
I asked a craftsman to replicate it.”
As he said that, An Chongqiu pointed to the carpet in the corridor and said, "The carpet under your feet is woven by hand by Iranian craftsmen. It is similar to the one used by the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The cost per square meter is nearly one.
Ten thousand dollars, the old man asked someone to hire more than 100 craftsmen from Iran in one go. According to the carpet left by my sister, dozens of sets have been woven, and they will be replaced every year."
Li Yalin was shocked and couldn't help but say, "Your family really doesn't treat money as money... A carpet worth ten thousand US dollars per square meter can be exchanged for one year... Isn't it painful to throw this money like this..."
An Chongqiu said seriously: "Old Li, when it comes to money, you only look at the amount and not the proportion. That's a hooligan."
Li Yalin asked in surprise: "What does it mean?"
An Chongqiu casually said: "The cost required to replace an Aojia with such a carpet is basically equivalent to changing a new garbage bag for your trash can. Do you feel distressed when you change the garbage bag?"
"Fuck..." Li Yalin smacked his lips and said cursingly: "Then hell, let you pretend."
An Chongqiu curled his lips: "Just tell the truth."
While talking, everyone came to the Chinese restaurant one after another. The old man greeted Li Yalin and asked Li Yalin to sit next to him.
Since An Kaifeng had already said hello in advance, as soon as everyone sat down, the service staff immediately brought the prepared meals.
An Kaifeng took the initiative to ask someone to take a bottle of white wine, planning to have a few drinks with Li Yalin with his elder brother.
The old man seemed to be very concerned about Li Yalin's current predicament and kept asking him what happened recently.
Li Yalin didn't know how to talk more, but just said vaguely that he had not handled the recent major cases. Seeing that he was unwilling to talk more, the old man did not ask again.
Because of his personality, Li Yalin has no friends. In addition, his mother left early and his father pulled him alone, but he didn't reconnect, so Li Yalin has no brothers and sisters either.
In recent years, my wife has taken her children to Houston. He has become even more withdrawn in New York alone. Although he has had a good relationship with the An family since his father's generation, it must be very different, so Li Yalin used to be.
Sorry to always bother me.
If An Chongqiu hadn't been hit when he bought the Rejuvenation Pill in Jinling some time ago, and Li Yalin happened to be trapped by Fei Haoyang's kidnapping case, the two actually wouldn't have many opportunities to meet often.
Therefore, now sitting among the An family, the withdrawn Li Yalin also found a bit of family feeling, and the depression in his heart has also relieved a little.
While talking to An Chongqiu, An Kaifeng and An Zhaonan, Li Yalin received a text message.
The information was sent by his confidant. The other party said in the message that he had found the identity of the owner of the Shaoge Store through an informant from Hong Kong Island.
Li Yalin suddenly felt a frightened, and quickly went out to go to the bathroom and called the other party.
After the phone call, he asked, "Xiao Wu, what new discoveries are there?!"
The other party said on the phone: "Boss, the owner of the roast goose shop, whose real name is Chen Zhaozhong, is a black household who smuggled into the United States from Hong Kong Island more than 20 years ago. Don't think that he runs a small restaurant just inexplicably, earlier
I was also a top student in the financial field. I was still a sea turtle who returned to Hong Kong after studying in the United States. I offended the local rich man on Hong Kong more than 20 years ago, so I ran away to New York."
As he said that, the other party added: "You know that Chen Zhaozhong was well-known in Hong Kong. He did a major event that has been discussed throughout Hong Kong until now, which was to kidnap the rich man's girlfriend.
Let's go, the two of them came to the United States together."
"Fuck..." Li Yalin smacked his lips and sighed: "This guy is still a fucking love!"
"Yes." The other party said again: "Oh, by the way, I found something. Chen Zhaozhong and the big star named Gu Qiuyi did know each other. Gu Yanzhong was mentioned in the information reported by the informant.
, that is, Gu Qiuyi's father, who went to Hong Kong Island for his sake, and met the rich man."
When Li Yalin heard this, he frowned and said, "This...it seems to be a complete fit... In this way, it would be natural for Gu Qiuyi, a big star, to go to a small roast goose shop in Chinatown.
…”
"Yes." The other party said: "I also think it's natural. I think this line should have nothing to do with Fei Haoyang's kidnapping, so I'll report it to you quickly."
Li Yalin laughed at himself: "I have retired early, so how can I report it? If you have any latest progress in this case in the future, just disclose it to me if you do not violate the regulations."
