Chapter 965 The Domineering President (4000 words)
In the fool's memory, this was the first time someone called his name in front of other companions.
He himself felt unfamiliar with this name.
"Hey, hey, fool," Qin Yin saw that the fool's expression was slightly dull, and thought he didn't react, "I'm calling you."
"I know..." The fool narrowed his eyes and looked at the man's face, "You are..."
"You are really Brother Zishan," the man lowered his flashlight so that the fool could see his face clearly, "Don't you remember me? I'm Xiao Li!"
"Xiao Li..." The fool muttered a few words, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "I remembered, you are Aunt Li's son!"
Aunt Li’s son…
Called Xiao Li?
Everyone observed the man in front of them. Judging by his face, the man should be young. He seemed to be about the same age as Baomu. It would be more appropriate to say he is a boy than a man.
But for some reason, this Xiao Li always gives people the feeling of a mature middle-aged man.
"Yes, it's me," Xiao Li said with a smile, "Brother Zishan, I haven't seen you in several years..."
"Yeah, it's been many years," the fool stared, his eyes sweeping from Xiao Li's head to his feet, and then back to his head, "Xiao Li, you have changed so much, I don't even recognize you anymore."
Xiao Li scratched the back of his head and said, "After all, I was only eleven years old when you left."
Xiaolan tugged at her fingers.
Eleven plus six equals...
This Xiao Li is only seventeen years old? Ah? You call this seventeen years old?!
The fool pursed his lips and nodded, "You have matured a lot."
It’s really a statement of high emotional intelligence.
"Thank you, Brother Zishan," Xiao Li, as if he had just discovered the existence of the others, shook the others slightly with his flashlight and said, "Brother Zishan, they are..."
"Oh, that's it," the fool quickly explained, "they are all my companions."
But Xiao Li's questions didn't seem to be resolved.
"Companion means..."
"They are just friends." The fool ran further and further away from the topic. "Here, let me introduce to you. That middle-aged handsome guy is our leader. You can call him Daochang. This is Baomu. He is better than you."
Not much older, that little girl is Xiaolan, the long-haired girl squatting by the wall is Wenling, the girl next to me is Qin Yin, you..."
"How come I am a girl? You are the girl," Qin Yin complained, "And why do you say that the chief is the boss? I always think that I am the boss."
"I'm a man."
"...Is this the point?"
Seeing that the two were about to start an inappropriate quarrel again, the Taoist priest cleared his throat and said, "It's funny. You may not believe it, but we are indeed here to find you."
"I?"
"To be precise, it's your mother." Xiaolan said.
"Hey - Xiaolan, don't be rude like a fool," Qin Yin turned to Xiao Li, "To be precise, it's your mother."
This seems to be the first time that polite Qin Yin uses "you" to address others.
"My mother?" Xiao Li said, "My mother... has moved away a long time ago. She moved in with me."
"That's right," said the fool, "it's a pity we don't know."
"Otherwise we would never have run in so sneakily." Baomu added an explanation.
This explanation that didn't sound positive at all actually had a positive effect. Xiao Li burst out laughing, waved his hands and said, "I believe you."
"Wow -" Qin Yin sighed, "Brother, you trust others so easily."
"Actually, the main thing is not you," Xiao Li said, "I trust Brother Zishan very much."
The other people's eyes suddenly focused on the fool.
"Why are you looking at me?" The fool shrank his neck.
"Brother Zishan was very prestigious in our area at that time." Xiao Li nodded seriously and said.
"Prestige?" Qin Yin almost laughed, "You mean this fool?"
"You're a woman." The fool retorted.
"You're looking for a fight..."
"Because Brother Zishan is very strong, handsome and can fight," Xiao Li walked to the door and opened it wider, "Also, the murderer is Brother Zishan... among us little ones,
In the eyes of the child, Brother Zishan is simply the God of War."
Indeed, a child of eleven or twelve years old is the time when personal heroism is flourishing. At this time, when a person appears next to him, he beats to death a serial murderer who is full of crimes, and it is natural to become a hero.
It's a pity that the world is not decided by eleven or twelve-year-old children.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiao Li quickly smiled, pointed to the door and said, "Hey, what are we talking about here? Aren't you looking for my mother? Come on, let's go to my house together..."
"Uh..." Baomu glanced at his watch, "Would it be a little disturbing at this time?"
"What are you disturbing? No," Qin Yin, who had been polite just now, answered for Xiao Li, "Now...isn't it normal for an old man to go to bed at two or three in the morning? Look at what you are making a fuss about."
"It's okay, don't bother me," Xiao Li said, "My mother will wake up in a while. You go to my house for tea first, so you can explain things clearly."
Drink tea and explain.
Why do I always feel that the place I want to go to is not Xiao Li’s house, but the police station.
Everyone followed Xiao Li out of the house. Xiao Li turned around and tried to close the door, but the door handle suddenly fell off. He looked at the door handle and said distressedly, "Oh, the door is broken."
"Don't blame yourself," Xiaolan stepped forward and comforted, "I broke this off."
"..."
"Let's go," the fool put his hands in his trouser pockets, "Is your new home far from here?"
"Not far, not far, ten minutes' drive," Xiao Li casually put the door handle back, dusted off the palms of his hands, and said as he walked, "My car is parked at the intersection, let's go. Fortunately, I drove a seven-wheel drive today."
A car with three seats, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many of us, haha..."
It sounds like...he seems to have more than one car.
"By the way," Xiao Li walked in front and turned to ask, "How did you get here? I didn't see your car."
"Uh, we...we took a taxi," the fool said, "Yes, we took a taxi."
True is a double affirmation indicating denial.
Xiaolan shook her head with a look of contempt, thinking that the dirty adult world is full of lies. When she looked up, she saw a luxury car parked on the roadside.
Oh my god, is this the wealthy adult world?
No...this Xiao Li is only seventeen years old, he is not yet a minor!
"Is this your car?!" The fool looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. He walked around the car with his eyes wide open and said in shock, "Where did you get the money?!"
"I...well, it sounds like I'm showing off," Xiao Li opened the car door and smiled shyly, "I'm now the CEO of a listed company, I..."
They didn't really listen to what he said next.
He is the president.
Seventeen-year-old CEO.
No wonder they always felt that there was a maturity and stability in Xiao Li that was not for his age. It turned out that that was the smell of a CEO.
"...Get in the car." Xiao Li's words ended with these three words.
As if they were waking up from a dream, everyone got on the car cautiously.
Among their group, the only one who can be considered a rich man is Luo Jiutian. Unfortunately, he is not here now. As a nouveau riche, the fool may be considered half a rich man.
Generally speaking, they are a group of poor people.
"Brother Xiao Li, where did you get so much money? Is it so profitable to open a company?" Qin Yin was sitting in the second row. She stretched her neck and asked, "I want to open one too."
Xiaolan sighed in her heart, what are people saying here who can't even drive a car?
"It will make money, but it will also be very hard," Xiao Li said. "If you can stand it, you can start a business."
"How to create it? Teach me!"
"Oh, please calm down." The idiot in the passenger seat pushed Qin Yin's head back, "Xiao Li, why did you go back to your old house tonight?"
"Actually, I should have come back during the day, but I had a meeting all day, so I only have time now," Xiao Li yawned. "The water pipe in my old house seemed to have burst. My mother was very worried and kept asking me to go back and take a look.
Come on."
It's really hard work.
Baomu said, "Then just hire someone to repair the water pipes. Why are you going back in person if you are so busy?"
"My mother is worried," Xiao Li gradually relaxed. "My mother is stubborn. I finally persuaded her to move from the old house to mine. If I didn't go and see it myself, she would not be happy.
"
He is also a good and filial CEO.
"Brother Zishan, what about you?" Xiao Li shrugged, "What do you want to see my mother for?"
"It's like this..." The fool turned around and said to Xiao Li, "I lost a suitcase."
"The suitcase..." Xiao Li frowned, then unfolded it, "Ah... that turned out to be your suitcase..."
Everyone became energetic instantly.
"You know my suitcase?" the fool said excitedly, "It's a black one, oh no, it's a brown one..."
"It's dark gray," Xiaolan said, "The dark gray suitcase is very big."
"Yes, that's it," Xiao Li said. "My mother brought it back from outside. Because my mother always comes back from shopping for things, I thought she got it from some flea market."
"That's my suitcase, it's what we're looking for," the fool said hurriedly, "Is it still there?"
"Yes, yes, I used it when I moved before," Xiao Li turned around and laughed, "My mother is not willing to throw away things."
Used it?
"Where are the things inside?" the Taoist priest asked.
"Things... I don't know," Xiao Li said, "You have to ask my mother. My mother handles them all by herself."
"That was the suitcase I was holding when I left the bridge." The fool finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on his seat. "Fortunately, Aunt Li picked it up..."
"Then what did you do then?" Xiao Li asked, "Didn't you try to find it?"
"At that time... I was in a hurry to leave the bridge, so I didn't look for it." The fool lightly hammered his knee, "I was too stupid."
"Don't say that, everyone makes mistakes."
Soon after the car passed through the neon lights of the city center, it entered a high-end residential area. Everyone stopped the car in the underground parking lot and took the elevator upstairs.
"Let me order a takeaway," Xiao Li took out his mobile phone, "What do you want to eat?"
"No, no, it's already time," Baomu said, "Don't waste any money."
"No," Xiao Li said, "Even if you don't eat, I still have to order it myself. I'm so busy that I don't have time to eat. I'm starving to death."
"In that case," Qin Yin said unceremoniously, "give me some spicy hotpot."
"Sister Xiaoyin, is there any Malatang shop still open at this time?" Baomu felt very embarrassed.
"It's okay, let's take a look first," Xiao Li looked down at his phone and said, "Well, I just happen to have a coupon..."
"You rich people still use coupons?" Qin Yin rubbed his belly.
"No matter how rich you are, you can't squander it," Xiao Li said. "Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is the key to accumulating wealth."
A group of people showed expressions of "learned" on their faces.
Xiaolan looked at these adults with disdain.
With a beeping sound, the elevator stopped on the 18th floor. This community has one apartment per apartment. When you get out of the elevator and turn a corner, you can see the door of Xiao Li's house.
Open the door and turn on the light.
"Wow..." The fool realized that he had sighed after hearing his own voice.
The inside of this house doesn't look like a mansion at all.
The decoration in the house is still the same simple layout as it was more than ten years ago. Many things placed in the house can clearly show the traces of time.
"There is actually a thermos bottle..." Qin Yin pointed to a pair of thermos water bottles painted with mandarin duck patterns and said, "This thing must be older than Xiao Landu."
"Almost," Xiao Li smiled, "This is my mother's dowry when she got married."
"Aren't you unhappy that Auntie has piled so many things at home?" Baomu asked.
Xiao Li's eyes were full of doubts, "Why are you unhappy?"
"Because these are not things for young people," said the fool. "Most people live in a mansion, and they must decorate the mansion to match its appearance."
"Oh, you are talking about this," Xiao Li said, "I live here simply because it is close to my company. If it is decorated... I don't care. I am familiar with such decoration."
"Then you drive a luxury car because..."
"That car is fast," Xiao Li said, "it saves commuting time."
Good guy, this is not a domineering president, this is a diligent and frugal workaholic.
Xiaolan suddenly felt balanced.
"What do the rest of you want to eat? Is it also Malatang?" Xiao Li suddenly waved his cell phone and said.
"Ah? That's okay..."
"I don't have any problem..."
"Is it true that it's so late?"
"Yes, yes," Xiao Li said, "Then I'll also order some Malatang."
Half an hour later, when the group of people gathered around the dining table and enthusiastically ate spicy hotpot, Xiaolan suddenly felt very moved.
This was the first time she had dinner with a rich man, and the food she ate was spicy hotpot.
The strong smell of Malatang spread in the restaurant, and suddenly, there was a sound of opening the door outside the restaurant.
Then, a woman's shout exploded.
"You brat! You eat that junk food in the middle of the night! You deserve a beating!"
