Li Jie was silent for a while. Shi Mu was Bai Hongwen's wife after all, and the news was not very important to him. He weighed the pros and cons and finally spoke.
"Okay, I'll come back tonight."
Bai Hongwen on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Jie continued to practice Tai Chi with him like last time, he really had no good solution unless he moved out his wife. After all, he had made a lot of money on his own.
Karma, when he was as old as Li Jie, he couldn't compare to him. Besides, he and Shi Mu really loved each other. Bai Hongwen didn't want to take that step unless he had to.
"Okay, then I'll talk to your mother and ask her to cook some of your favorite dishes."
Li Jie put down the phone and rubbed his eyebrows. He had guessed Bai Hongwen's intention of making this call. The news coming from the other side of the ocean was really unbelievable. The third and fourth largest investment banks in the United States issued a series of e-mails on the same day.
Bad news, who will be the next victim?
Can China survive alone? Will this crisis get worse?
In fact, Li Jie had already thought about what happened today when he first reminded Bai Hongwen. Now he was thinking about how much he should reveal to Bai Hongwen.
After Bai Hongwen hung up the phone, he immediately called his wife. When Shi's mother learned that her son would come home for dinner that evening, she was extremely happy. She immediately started planning what dishes to make for the evening. The dishes originally prepared were all Bai Le'an's favorite dishes.
, Shi’s mother couldn’t care less about her younger son’s mood for the time being, and went out to buy groceries after tidying up a little.
With the strength of the Bai family, they can hire two full-time housekeepers, but Shi's mother has come from hard times after all, and doesn't like to be served by others, so she only hired two part-time workers to be responsible for cleaning every afternoon. This is Bai Hongwen's way of seeing Shi.
My mother insisted on it because it was too hard to clean alone.
After Bai Le'an came home from school, he ran to the kitchen and took a sneak peek. When he saw the ribs, tenderloin and other ingredients on the chopping board, he immediately knew that his annoying 'big brother' was coming back tonight, so he called out to Shi Mu who was busy inside.
After saying hello, he ran upstairs angrily.
When Shi Mu heard this, she stopped chopping vegetables in her hands, and then sighed softly in her heart. She knew more or less what Bai Lean was thinking in her heart. Shi Mu's face was not very good at hiding things. Bai Hongwen didn't.
It didn't take long for him to notice something strange about his wife, and asked sideways what was the reason for her unhappiness. Shi's mother just found an excuse to excuse her.
When Bai Hongwen saw this, he immediately guessed the reason and did not continue to ask. The next day, he calmly had a good talk with Bai Le'an, saying that the Bai Group would eventually be handed over to him, except for Shi Mu's share.
Apart from that, the rest is all his.
After that exchange, most of the jealousy in Bai Lean's heart was reduced, but after all, he is still young, and his likes and dislikes of people are completely reflected on his face. What he is angry about today is Shi Mu's "partiality". Li Jie
As soon as he returned, his status plummeted.
It didn't take long for Li Jie to arrive home. After hearing the sound, he walked to the kitchen and said to the busy Shi Mu.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Mother Shi looked back, with a happy look on her face, and said with a smile: "Are you hungry? There are still two dishes left. Your uncle will be home soon. We will serve dinner when he gets home."
Li Jie took a few steps forward to the stove and reached out to take the spatula from Shi Mu's hand.
"I will do the rest and let you have a taste of my son's craftsmanship."
Mother Shi reached out and patted Li Jie's hand: "Go, go, go, don't cause trouble, you haven't cooked before."
Li Jie shook his head and smiled slightly: "Who said that? Let me cook the remaining two dishes. I guarantee they will be delicious."
Seeing Li Jie's resolute attitude, Shi's mother simply stopped arguing. She thought that even if Li Jie's cooking didn't taste good later, she would say it was delicious. After all, it was her son's wish. She handed over the spatula in her hand.
He picked up Li Jie and took two steps to the side.
"Okay, okay, okay, you do it, you do it, and I will enjoy my happiness."
After a while, the smile on Shi's mother's face became even bigger. Li Jie must be able to cook with his skillful movements. She didn't care about the rest. As for whether it tasted good or not, she didn't care, as long as it was cooked by her son.
She loves to eat.
Bai Hongwen made a special call before he got home. When he got home, the dishes on the table were already placed. Bai Lean reluctantly walked down under Shi Mu's repeated urging, with a long face.
Bai Hongwen frowned slightly when he saw this. His son's performance was so disappointing to him. He needs to polish it in the future. If he is still like this when he grows up, how can Bai Hongwen rest assured that the Bai Group can be handed over to him.
'That's all, An'er is still young, so take your time.'
"Have a meal!"
After everyone sat down, Shi Mu specially tasted the food Li Jie cooked. Her eyes lit up as soon as she took the food. The taste was much better than what she cooked. Even compared with the chefs in five-star restaurants, it was not as good as it was.
Jean, she had no idea that her son's craftsmanship was so good.
This dish made Shi's mother think a lot. Even if her son doesn't get a penny from the Bai family in the future, he will live very well with this craft. She still has some savings, which is more than enough to open a high-end restaurant for her son.
.
Bai Le'an felt that the two dishes on today's dinner table were particularly delicious, so he said, "Little mom, this sweet and sour pork loin and garlic pork ribs are delicious!"
Shi Mu smiled and said, "These two dishes are made by your brother. If they are delicious, please eat more of them."
After Bai Le'an learned the truth, he felt as if he had eaten a fly. The chopsticks he had just stretched out in the air immediately changed direction and smiled awkwardly.
"Really? Actually, I think it's just fine, not bad."
Bai Hongwen was also surprised when he heard this. He usually pays more attention to Li Jie's actions in business, but he doesn't pay much attention to his daily life. He really didn't know that Li Jie could cook.
"Oh? Really? Tiandong still has this ability, I want to give it a try."
"Um?"
As soon as the dish came into his mouth, Bai Hongwen let out a sigh. Having read all the delicacies from the mountains and seas, he obviously didn't expect that this dish would be so delicious. The dishes he usually buys at home are basically ordinary ingredients, but they were made by Li Jie.
How could he not be surprised by the taste that only top-quality ingredients can have?
After Bai Hongwen took a bite, the speed of picking up the dishes was obviously accelerated. In addition, Shi's mother also particularly liked the dishes cooked by her son. The two dishes cooked by Li Jie were reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, there were two large dishes.
Only half of it is left.
Bai Le'an took a sneak peek and swallowed. In the end, his desire for food overcame his shyness. It seemed like it was no big deal to take a few bites of the food.
'Hmph! I eat your cooking to give you face, Shi Tiandong, don't think I will forgive you!'
Li Jie couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Bai Lean's duplicity. The Law of True Fragrance is indeed a valid law in all the worlds. In fact, he showed off his cooking skills today mainly to pave the way for the future, so as not to make people feel too abrupt.
