The fact that Li Zhixin was released soon spread among relatives and friends of the Li family. When these people learned that he was paid back by a very powerful person and then rescued using strong methods,
They all regretted it.
When Li Zhixin was in trouble, these people flocked to him, fearing that members of his family would beg to come to their home. Now they are eager to go there to congratulate him and let the Li family remember that they still have such a relative.
Being able to fish out Li Zhixin under such circumstances means that the Li family has found a backer!
Therefore, after Luo Lei and the others entered the hotel, Li Zhixin's cell phone started ringing.
He hung up several calls one after another, but the call rang again.
Li Zhixin smiled bitterly and said to his wife: "This is a call from your cousin, will you answer it?"
Mrs. Li is an only child. She grew up in her grandmother's house and has the closest relationship with her cousin. When Li Zhixin was in trouble, she also asked him for help.
This cousin was a little helpful at first, but later he became indifferent after realizing that this matter was not something he could handle.
"Take it, let's see what he says?" Mrs. Li said.
Li Zhixin pressed the answer button: "Hey, cousin! Wash the dust for me? No need, our family is already eating. There is really no need... What, you have to come over, forget it, we are already halfway through eating...
…”
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Li asked, "What did my cousin say?"
"He insisted on coming over!" Li Zhixin said helplessly: "I even lied and said that we had eaten half of our meal, but he still came over and said that he had to wash me off. After dinner, he took me to take a shower, saying that it was necessary.
of!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Li also felt helpless. She knew very well that later on, this cousin simply avoided her and even lied about taking on a big project in another place. When talking about the critical moment,
I really have no time to deal with matters in Jia County.
Since you have taken on such a big project, you claimed to be extremely busy a few days ago. Why are you free now?
Li Yujia had talked a lot with her mother in the past two days, and knowing what her cousin was doing, she hummed: "What is he doing here? When we were expecting him to help, he was hiding far away! Now he wants to get close to him,
We don’t welcome him!”
Mrs. Li advised: "Forget it, we can't give up all our relatives! In any case, your cousin has helped a little bit, which is much better than others!"
"Today is Xiaolei's treat, why should he come here!" Li Yujia was still reluctant. After all, Li Zhixin and Luo Lei had emphasized the concept of "family" before. Since they are a family, what does it have to do with others?
"Xiaojia, dad really doesn't know how to reject your cousin. Just come when he comes. Just ignore his existence!" Li Zhixin enlightened his daughter first, and then said to Luo Lei: "Xiao Lei, don't mind it.
, you are the host today, but I went so far as to ask others to come too!"
"Haha, Uncle Li, there's no need to say that! Although it's my treat, the protagonist today is you. Let whoever you want come, and I won't have any objections!" Luo Lei said very generously.
Since Li Zhixin is the protagonist, of course he is also responsible for the ordering task.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yujia tugged on Luo Lei's sleeve and whispered: "My cousin is a very powerful man, and I have never liked him! I don't understand why my mother wants to be with someone like this.
People maintain relationships!”
"Haha, what your mother just said makes sense. Relatives are relatives after all! You can't just break off all friendships just because they have some character flaws!" Luo Lei said.
"Anyway, I won't give him a good look for a while!" Li Yujia pouted and said, "When I see his profiteer face, I get very angry! My father has cooperated with him several times, and every time
He always takes advantage of me, my father is just too kind!"
Your father is kind enough, otherwise, he wouldn't have been deceived so miserably by Xia Peng.
Just now Li Zhixin said that he was already halfway through his meal, so after ordering, he urged the waiter to serve the food quickly.
However, no matter how fast the restaurant was, it could not be faster than Li Yujia's cousin. Three plates had just been served here, and just as the four of them picked up their chopsticks, the private room door was pushed open from the outside.
"Hahaha, cousin, Zhixin, cousin is here!" The visitor is a middle-aged man in his forties, with medium height, medium build, and average appearance. He is the kind of person who would not be found in a crowd.
type.
The only distinctive feature was his eyes. They were not big, but they moved around, and they moved very quickly. Before even one foot had stepped in, his eyes had already scanned the room several times.
Of course the focus is on Luo Lei. Although I don’t know the specific details of Li Zhixin’s rescue, I can imagine that being able to sit at the dinner table where he had his first meal after being released from prison is definitely not an ordinary person.
The visitor’s name is Dou Fei, who runs two hardware stores and a building materials supermarket in Jiaxian County. When Li Zhixin teamed up with Southern Liar to develop the project, he often went to Li’s house in order to use the building materials he sold when the project started.
.
And he runs very frequently. Otherwise, if something happened to the Li family, they wouldn't think of him first.
"Haha, Xiaojia, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you are getting more and more beautiful!" Dou Fei smiled at the club. Before a few people inside could speak, he sat down directly opposite Li Zhixin.
Li Yujia deliberately made her cousin look embarrassed, and hummed: "Cousin, I thought I heard you telling my father on the phone just now that you wanted to wash his dust, but your hands are empty, what are you going to wash with?"
Dou Fei blushed, thinking about it, at least he was holding a bottle of wine or something in his hand. Hearing the news that Li Zhixin was released, he was a little excited, and even forgot all about the most basic etiquette.
But this is nothing to him. After decades of hard work in the business world, he has long developed a thick-skinned face.
"Haha, I'll pay for this meal. You can order whatever you want to eat or drink!" Dou Fei pretended to be generous and continued: "I'll ask Zhixin to take a bath at the best bathing center in a while. Over there
The women’s department is also very good. If we all go together, I’ll pay the bill!”
"Cousin, there is no need to be so polite!" Mrs. Li pointed at Luo Lei and said, "Let me introduce you first. This is Xiao Jia's boyfriend Luo Lei. He went to the same university as Xiao Jia. He is young and promising!"
Mrs. Li didn't want Dou Fei to know Luo Lei's true identity, so she just gave a brief introduction.
"Oh, really, hello, classmates, the feelings between classmates are pure!" Dou Fei said confidently, and gave Luo Lei a thumbs up, as if he was a legendary emotional expert.
Li Yujia looked at Luo Lei with an intimate look, then turned around and said, "Cousin, you just said you would pay for today's meal, is that true?"
"Of course!" Dou Fei patted his chest and said, "Although your cousin is not a wealthy person, he can still be considered a middle-class person. He can still afford to treat you to a meal!"
"Oh, middle class!" Luo Lei added: "Xiaojia, what did the waiter say just now? They said they have a 1992 Lafite here, right?"
"That's right, it was made in 1992, and a bottle costs hundreds of thousands! Since my cousin is so generous, why don't we get a bottle?" Li Yujia and Luo Lei cooperated very well.
Dou Fei's expression changed immediately. One bottle cost more than one hundred thousand? It was on top of the car I parked downstairs!
But just now he had boasted about Haikou, wouldn't it be too shameful to return in the blink of an eye?
Rolling his eyes, Dou Fei said with a smile: "Xiaojia, in this poor place in Jiaxian County, how can there be real Lafite? Isn't it often exposed on the Internet and TV that these foreign wines are from China?
We are all highly educated people who made our own fakes, so we shouldn’t be fooled like this!”
"I can tell at a glance if it's true or not!" Luo Lei said in a very shameless manner.
Dou Fei glared at him and thought to himself, "Who do you think you are? It's a matter of debate whether you can be the future son-in-law of the Li family. Do you have a say?"
"I can also tell the authenticity. Why don't we ask them to send a bottle over to have a look?" Li Yujia answered the words quickly.
"Xiaojia, don't make trouble!" Mrs. Li said angrily with her jade belt.
"Mom, I'm not making trouble! My cousin is so sincere, we have to give him a chance to show off. What do you think, cousin?" Li Yujia very smartly kicked the ball to Dou Fei. Can Dou Fei say no?
People swear that they can tell the truth from falsehoods, but if they don’t even have the confidence to give it a try, wouldn’t they lose face?
But what if it's true? Or maybe it's not true, and these two children mistakenly thought it was true. Wouldn't hundreds of thousands of dollars be wasted?
Recalling his original intention of appearing here, Dou Fei finally made the difficult decision to take a gamble. He didn't believe that a small place like Jia County could have real red wine at such a high price!
"Then I'll order a bottle and have a look. If it's true, we'll keep it!" Dou Fei said pretending to be generous.
Luo Lei quickly called the waiter and asked her to bring up a bottle of 1992 Lafite, and made her choice very clear: If it is fake wine, not only will we not want it, but we will also call the anti-counterfeiting phone number and announce it throughout the county.
Selling fake wine!
When the waiter heard this, she quickly went to find the manager. This was not something that she, a little waiter, could decide.
Most of the red wine stored in the Crystal Palace wine cellar is fake, but there is also a bottle of genuine wine, which has been the treasure of the store for several years. The key is to use it to support the occasion.
"It seems that the guests at this table are experts, so let's go to the real deal and we won't lose money anyway!" the manager said firmly.
The fact is indeed like this. The original purchase price of that bottle of wine was not high. If you sell it at the current market price, you will definitely make a profit!
"I understand, manager, then let's serve the real thing!" The waiter hurriedly went to the wine cellar and asked two people to "escort" the bottle of wine upstairs with her. To sell high-end wine, they
