Chapter 117 Auntie can’t be arrogant for more than a few days
In the end, Lu Xiangning failed.
Li had already had his aunt by his side and let him tease her, but in the end he only made himself so horny that he had to take a cold shower to calm down.
In the middle of the night, I could still hear the sound of running water from the bathroom, and it continued for a long time. Li Zao also found it strange.
Even Aunt Ling was woken up.
Because she had learned from the past, Aunt Ling didn't dare not be careful, and even came to their room to have a look, "Madam? Madam?"
Li's early sleepiness was broken again, "Aunt Ling, it's okay, it's Lu Xiangning who is taking a shower."
"He's staying up all night, why don't he take a shower?"
"Yeah, who knows why he has such bad habits."
"The eldest young master, he... he... is a good person, right?"
These words made Li Zao laugh, and he quickly said: "He is fine. You can sleep peacefully. He is really fine."
"Oh, all right."
After a while, Lu Xiangning came out of the shower.
He only wore a white bath towel around his waist. He had broad shoulders and narrow waist, and had an extremely standard golden inverted triangle body shape, with water drops hanging on his honey-colored muscles.
He was obviously a man with animal desires, but his expression was very cute. He had sexy wet hair and asked curiously: "Did you just say something to me? I heard your voice, but I couldn't hear you clearly.
say what."
"It's nothing, I didn't talk to you." Li Zao was perfunctory, not knowing where to look with his eyes, so he could only yawn and turn over to sleep.
Lu Xiangning bit his lip and looked slightly dissatisfied.
While wiping his hair, he knelt on the bed, and then playfully rubbed his wet hair on her face.
A large shadow fell in front of Li Zao's eyes, and he was so angry that he wanted to kick him, "Are you still asleep? If you make trouble again, I will let you take a cold shower again."
These words probably shocked Lu Xiangning. He sat down obediently and wiped his hair honestly.
Li Zao closed his eyes and slept.
After a long time, I heard him say: "Auntie can't be arrogant for more than a few days!"
Li Zao: "..."

The news that Zhao Honghu lost contact quickly spread in the circle.
News of the Zhao Group's overseas bankruptcy also spread like wildfire.
Not only was the Zhao family bankrupt, Zhao Honghu himself also owed a large sum of money.
The money was borrowed from black market loan sharks.
Zhao Honghu was too arrogant, thinking that as long as the funds could be turned around, he borrowed 300 million in one breath. He did not expect that the capital chain would be completely broken and he would not be able to pay back.
Now the compound interest has increased to more than 500 million, and people come to collect debts every day.
So, he could only escape back to the country in embarrassment with his wife and daughter.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, a broken ship has three pounds of nails, and the Zhao family has tens of billions of assets. Even if they go bankrupt, they can still live a good life.
However, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Zhao Honghu, who went bankrupt abroad, returned to China in an attempt to gain nothing. He took advantage of the information gap and wanted to use financing to raise funds before the bankruptcy information was announced, so as to support the Zhao family's prosperous life and make a comeback.
Capital.
Zhao Honghu has great ambitions, but his abilities are not enough to support his ambitions.
As soon as the news spread that he had lost contact, those who had invested money in him or lent him money came looking for Haitang and Zhao Zichu.
——
Sunflower Gallery.
Su Kui was scrolling through the news about Zhao's bankruptcy on her phone, and her jaw almost dropped.
"Black market loan sharks? Forgive me for being ignorant, but are they the kind that require you to chop off your hands?"
Li Zao smiled and said, "Just read the official announcement, don't read the little news fabricated by the messy media."
"Little news is much more interesting than official announcements," Su Kui came over and asked, "How did your family react when they heard the news?"
Li Zao thought about how Lu Xiangning had a huge appetite in the morning and swallowed three poached eggs in one breath, and couldn't help but want to laugh, "He found out a few days earlier than you, so he didn't have any big reaction. He just said that our old man was smart and warned him."
The whole family should not have any beneficial dealings with Zhao Honghu."
Su Kui gave a thumbs up, "Ginger is still spicy when it's old."
At this time, the door of the gallery was pushed open, and the wind chime at the door made a crisp sound.
The current customer flow is very small, and old customers will make reservations when they come.
Today, there are no reservations.
Who could that be?
Su Kui immediately put away her phone and went out to take a look.
"Little Mr. Ji," she was extremely surprised, "what brought you here?"
Ji Li nodded with a smile, "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came here specifically to talk to Boss Su."
Su Kui liked this title very much, and also liked his directness, "Come in quickly, do you want some coffee? Purely handmade, freshly ground and brewed coffee, produced by Dazao."
"Okay, thank you."
Li Zao heard the voice and came out to greet him, "Mr. Xiao Ji."
Soon, the three of them sat down around the long table. Ji Li did not show off and said straight to the point: "Li Zao, originally I wanted to contact you directly, but when I thought about it, you also have an appointment with an agent, so I decided to talk to Boss Su.
It would be better if we meet in person."
Su Kui was so happy when he called him "Boss Su" one after another, "Hahahaha, Mr. Xiao Ji is really considerate in his work. In fact, it doesn't matter. Li Zao has absolute autonomy. You can contact me,
Or contact her alone, that’s fine.”
"Okay, the main reason I came here today is about the round fan. Li Zao, we have made an auction preview of your orchid round fan on Ji's Auction House's website. In the past few days, the number of inquiries has been overwhelming. We estimate that it will eventually be auctioned.
The auction price is more than ten times higher than the original price.”
"Ah?" Su Kui exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that a loss in sales?"
Li Zao kicked Su Kui under the table, and Su Kui explained: "Hehehe, I mean, since Zaozao's first round fan is so popular, then the second, third, fourth, or
Can I get a better price for a complete set?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. I wonder if you two have the intention to continue to cooperate with Ji's?" Ji Li was very sincere, "If it is a whole series, Ji's is willing to take only 1% commission."
"1%?" Su Kui was shocked.
The commission rate for art auctions is generally 10% according to international practice, and the minimum for a friendly price is 5%.
Ji Li said that he only charges 1%...
Not only do we have to arrange exhibitions and publicity, but we also have to take care of the storage and occupy the space. I'm afraid this doesn't even cover the cost.
"Yes, you heard it right, it's 1%. My dad said that we can't take advantage of other people's little girls just because they are just starting out. Moreover, the craft of Kesi is almost lost. It's not easy for a young man to be born.
You must protect it. He also said that with your skills, you will be very successful in the future. If I want to cooperate with you after you become famous, it will be too late. We must seize the opportunity now."
These few words made Su Kui nod his head repeatedly, as if he had found a close friend, "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Ji has a vision, and our Zaozao has that ability."
Li Zao was naturally happy to be praised, and even if Ji Honghai didn't come to her, she would still come to Ji Honghai. This situation just gave her a chance to get close to Ji Honghai.
"I don't dare to accept Mr. Ji's praise, so I would like to ask Mr. Ji to convey my gratitude on my behalf."
Ji Li looked happy, "So, you are willing?"
Li Zao said modestly: "It's my honor."
"That's great."
Li Zao added: "Actually, Su Kui and I are planning to make a series of round fans, and the drawings have already been started."
Su Kui shook his head, "I won't take credit. I don't have the ability in this area. It's all Zaozao's own idea. I have Zaozao, so I can make a fortune on equal footing."
Ji Li smiled like a spring breeze and really envied the friendship they had cultivated since childhood.
