"I'm here to see your boss Li Yongtai, is he here?"
Mr. Ai came to Li Yongtai now because he wanted Li Yongtai to intercede on his behalf.
Although I know that the father-daughter relationship between Li Yongtai and Li Ke has long been gone, they are still biological father and daughter. Li Ke can somewhat listen to what Li Yongtai says.
What he did to Li Ming didn't have serious consequences. He could compensate the Li family with a sum of money.
As long as he can keep his Ai Shi Co., Ltd.
Mr. Ai actually saw clearly what happened to Li Yongtai after he went bankrupt. Many times, he used others to make things worse for Li Yongtai. Mr. Ai did not want to try this kind of difficult life after bankruptcy.
If the Ai family goes bankrupt and is in debt, his eldest daughter Aili will not take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings like Li Ke, let alone think about making money to support the family.
His daughter is used to enjoying it.
"Our boss is in the office, who are you?"
Mr. Ai took out a business card and handed it to the doorman to read, then put the card back into his trouser pocket. He would not give his business card to a doorman.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ai."
The doorman smiled and said, "Mr. Ai, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and talk to the boss."
"No, I can just go in by myself. Your boss and I are old acquaintances. We have worked together for more than ten years. After Yongtai Carton went bankrupt, your boss stopped dealing with me. I know he was afraid of hurting us.
That’s why we’ll cut off all contact.”
"I know Yongtai has started a new business, so I have to come and take a look. Our company needs to use a lot of cartons every month. If possible, I would like to cooperate with your boss again."
The doorman heard that he was an old customer who had worked with the boss for more than ten years. He also knew that the company the boss used to run was a leader in the carton industry, but it later went bankrupt.
There are not many orders in the factory now. If we can cooperate with old customers and the number of orders increases, the boss can make money, and he will not mistreat them, the old employees who are now accompanying the boss to start a difficult business.
After thinking this way, the guard said politely: "I'll take Mr. Ai to see our boss."
Mr. Ai did not refuse again.
He followed the guard.
Soon I came to the door of the office. The office was very small, only 11 or 2 square meters in size. There were only Li Yongtai and one clerk inside.
The doorman knocked on the door. When Li Yongtai and the clerk looked over, the doorman said: "Boss, there is Mr. Ai who wants to see you."
Li Yongtai had already seen Mr. Ai following the doorman. He stood up, walked over, and said to Mr. Ai with a smile: "Mr. Ai, what kind of wind has brought you here."
After the Li family went bankrupt, Mr. Ai always inflicted trouble on Li Yongtai in secret, so Li Yongtai didn't know that Mr. Ai had punished him.
I only know that after the Li family went bankrupt, Aili, who was a good friend with his daughter, had turned against his daughter, probably because of a man.
When Li Yongtai first went bankrupt, he was not in the mood to care about those things. Now that the relationship between father and daughter has become sour, he dare not ask about the conflict between Li Ke and Ai Li.
Li Yongtai was very happy to see Mr. Ai coming.
He welcomed Mr. Ai into the office with a smile and repeatedly told the clerk to go and have some tea.
Mr. Ai enjoyed the feeling of being treated as a guest by Li Yongtai.
In the past, Li Yongtai had a good attitude towards him, but not like now. After all, Yongtai Carton used to be a leader in the industry and had more customers than Mr. Ai.
"Mr. Ai, sit down, please sit down quickly."
After Li Yongtai invited Mr. Ai to sit down, he also sat down opposite Mr. Ai.
Mr. Ai looked at Li Yongtai and sighed: "It's been a while, Yongtai, you've aged a lot."
When he was rich before, Li Yongtai paid great attention to taking care of himself, making him look more than ten years younger than his actual age.
Now that he has no money for maintenance, plus he is tired from running business every day and has great pressure in life, Li Yongtai looks much older.
"I'm not young anymore."
Li Yongtai looked at Mr. Ai's growing figure and said with a smile: "You have gained a lot of weight. Business is very good."
"It's okay. It's the same as usual. The current environment is not good and business is hard to do. I'm just making a living."
"Your company has been in business for 20 or 30 years, so it has a solid foundation. Yes, it is not as easy to do business as it used to be. In the past, as long as you had capital and could endure hardship, you could always get up slowly in any business.
, now, I’m so exhausted that I can’t even receive orders.”
After re-starting his business, Li Yongtai suffered more than when he started his own business. He regretted extremely that he did not know how to cherish everything he once had. Now, even if he has fighting spirit and confidence, it is difficult for him to succeed.
It is difficult to return to the previous heights.
"Yes, there are not as many opportunities as before, and all walks of life have entered a state of saturation. How is the business of your factory? Can it survive?"
"In your words, it's OK to make a living, but it's very difficult to make big money."
Li Yongtai sighed again as he spoke.
When the clerk made a pot of tea and came over, he personally poured half the cup of tea for Mr. Ai. Mr. Ai gave him face and took a sip of tea before putting down the teacup.
I feel very disgusted inside.
This tea must be cheap tea, and the tea brewed is not good.
In the past, Li Yongtai always served him with the finest Biluochun.
"Yongtai, don't be discouraged. I believe your factory will be up and running soon. You have a good daughter."
There is something in Mr. Ai's words.
Li Yongtai also poured himself a cup of tea. Seeing that Mr. Ai took a sip of tea and then stopped drinking, he knew that the other person disliked his tea.
Now that he has no money, he usually drinks boiled water and tea, but he is still willing to serve them out when guests come.
"Mr. Ai, what do you mean?"
Mr. Ai took a look at the clerk.
The clerk also understood the situation and walked out of the office on the pretext of going to the workshop.
She was also responsible for following orders.
After the clerk went out, Li Yongtai asked Mr. Ai again: "Mr. Ai, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Mr. Ai asked him with a smile: "Yongtai, how long has it been since you last seen your daughter Li Ke?"
"Not long ago, I saw her some time ago. What happened to her?" Li Yongtai asked nervously.
"I see you are so nervous. Don't be nervous. It's a good thing. Li Ke is capable. Unlike our Aili, who treats every scumbag as a treasure, you Li Ke has a discerning eye and knows how to choose people. You chose Jun."
The third young master of our family is the Jun family, the richest man in our City A, a billionaire family."
"Yongtai, if your daughter marries into the Jun family and becomes the third young mistress, as long as the Jun family gives you a hand, it will be a matter of minutes for you to get back on your feet."
Li Yongtai's face suddenly darkened.
He said to Mr. Ai: "Mr. Ai, don't talk nonsense and spread rumors. My daughter and the third young master of the Jun family are innocent."
