In the drizzle, the carriage arrived at the Anhui Folks Association, where the "Jeliya Charity Hall" thank-you reception was held. There were dozens of luxury carriages parked on the street. Jack, the guard captain, led ten servants to hold umbrellas to welcome the carriage.
When the distinguished guest jumped down, several servants rushed forward to help him. They were afraid that the distinguished guest would slip when he jumped.
Two pregnant women, Yelia and Mayuko, stood under the lintel and bowed to the guests who entered the guild hall, thanked them, and gave each distinguished guest a small red flower made of silk. The red flower hung down and tied with the words "
Ribbon with name of distinguished guest.
When the distinguished guests put on the red flowers, they all blushed a little, laughed, and covered it up. The distinguished guests they knew greeted each other, and while they were chatting and laughing, Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu led the guests into the West Flower Hall.
Twenty-five round tables were placed in the flower hall, with a red guest list on the table and bunches of pink peach blossoms in vases.
There were about 200 people sitting there, and every distinguished guest filing in would make a lot of noise. Li Jinglue, the president of the Anhui Association, his face glowing red, as if it was his place, clasping fists and greeting the distinguished guests. He was secretly annoyed:
Li Guolou played a trick on him and knew how to make the wealthy Ziyishe businessman willingly pay for it, but he never told him and asked him to break his legs in the capital and find someone to donate to the Anhui Association.
Li Jinglue's eyes lit up when he saw Hu Xueyan, a fellow Anhui man, and Zhao Deming, the manager, entering the flower hall and hurried to greet them. These were his God of Wealth.
"Dong Hu's family, Mr. Zhao, you are here, please! I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Well, President Li has done a pretty good job. You have caught all the people in the Ziyi Club. Can you see if any fish slipped through the net?" Hu Xueyan looked around the scene in the flower hall, feeling jealous in his heart.
Hu Xueyan is a man who dares to be the first in the world and is the first to eat crabs. However, he watched helplessly as a group of women squeezed into the business circle, disguised business as charity, and caught big fish. This made him feel so embarrassed. How could he do it?
I can only pretend to be generous and smile away.
Amid laughter, Zhen Yuhuan stepped forward and interjected: "Dr. Hu's family just likes to joke. He talks so funny, no wonder he pleases the little girl."
There was another burst of laughter, and Hu Xueyan proudly stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "President Zhen, I am a big fish, I can't escape your grasp. Unfortunately, I am not a pretty boy, I am a little older."
"
Zhen Yuhuan's eyes were thin and angry, and she scolded: "The Hu boss family is bad, let's see if I don't get you drunk later." As she spoke, Zhen Yuhuan helped Hu Xueyan to sit down, just like supporting her husband, which made Hu Xueyan very satisfied.
Laughing without stopping.
Wanshou Lu, the president of the Ziyi Club, came with his family, Xie Yunfang, and the chief shopkeeper Ali Na, accompanied by Wei Xiaoliu. Applause broke out in the flower hall again, and the guests rushed to and fro with endless topics, all of which were worries.
A big businessman who cares about the country and the people.
Wanshou Lu said: "Manager Wei, why haven't you seen your boss yet? A group of ladies are taking care of it."
Wei Xiaoliu leaned forward and said, "Dong Wan's family, my master went out to the city on errands and didn't come back until this afternoon. The news just came. He will be here shortly."
"Oh;;;;;;" Wanshou Lu remained calm. He hoped that Li Guolou would do as well as possible, and the higher he climbed, the more miserable he would fall. So many women were showing up for Li Guolou, hooking up with others.
Sitting next to distinguished guests, he will be taken into the harem by the boss of the Ziyi Club in the future, and there will be countless cuckolds waiting to be worn by Li Guolou.
Xie Yunfang dug her long nails into the palms of her hands, and buried her hatred in her heart. Li Guolou unexpectedly had another woman. His eyes glanced at Xie Xiuzhu, Zhen Yuhuan, who were entertaining the guests, and there was also a French foreign girl Yelia outside the door. It was these three
The rich and powerful women support Li Guolou. The unscrupulous women next to him heard that they are members of the "Mike Support Group". There are so many women in the corrupt harem, and they can't extricate themselves. Li Guolou
What's so good about Li Guolou? Why didn't she notice it when she grew up watching Li Guolou?
"Xiao Liuzi, when will your master's banking industry start?" Xie Yunfang said with a sarcastic look on her face. So what if the donation can reach tens of thousands taels? The banking industry needs millions of taels of start-up capital. It's not that she underestimated Li Guolou.
A country with a working capital of over one million taels can be said to be extremely wealthy. Only a handful of people in the Ziyi Club have this ability.
"Oh, Mr. Wan, Mrs. Xie, my boss and my third grandma are already making preparations for "Come In to the Bank" in the British Concession in Tianjin. During this period, my boss's eldest brother is doing it. In a few days, my third grandma will go to Tianjin.
.”
Xie Yunfang felt dizzy after hearing this. Fortunately, her husband Wanshou Lu next to her supported her and prevented her from making a fool of herself. The two looked at each other and concealed their hatred very well. Showing their white teeth, they smiled brightly and said, "That's good."
, then my husband and I will go to Tianjin in person to support Xiaolou."
How could Wei Xiaoliu know about the emotional entanglement between Li Guolou and Xie Yunfang? He smiled charmingly and bowed gratefully. He stood up and poured tea for several big shots. He was so attentive that everyone at the table was served by him.
Taking care of him, Wei Xiaoliu handled the scene with ease and moved among the distinguished guests with ease.
Chu Xiangyu's cheeks were flushed and she walked to the busy Chen Xiangfang. She lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, that four-eyed frog just now asked me how much money I would give?"
Chen Xiangfang rolled her eyes and said: "What's the point of being shy? This shows that you are charming. Just tell the four-eyed frog that Xiaolou is the tiger of the Criminal Department. Go and scan Xiaolou to see how powerful he is. Be more generous in the future and you won't die if you touch him a few times."
Yes, don’t throw drinks at others. If you can’t handle it, let the Second Grandma and the Seventh Grandma do it. They are thick-skinned.”
"Oh! Grandma, I'd better go to the door to greet the guests and let Fourth Grandma sit for a while." Chu Xiangyu's eyes were full of tears, and no one had pity on her even though she had to compromise.
"Go away, Xiaojiazi is angry. You are not a young girl. You are trying to seduce Brother Xiaolou. What are you afraid of?"
"The four-eyed frog is too ugly." Chu Xiangyu lowered her head and did not dare to stay in the West Flower Hall. She grunted and walked out to greet the guests.
Chen Xiangfang shook her head in disbelief. Chu Xiangyu, who was born in a small family, could not be taken away. She would cry in front of the public, and she would be embarrassed and thrown into her grandma's house. She had long classified herself into the ranks of rich and noble ladies.
, I glanced at my daughter playing with Shi Yatou, and the little girl Liu Wei and others were dancing with rubber bands in the corner. They were enjoying themselves so much that I ignored them.
Li Guolou jumped off the carriage, helped Xelia down, and said with a sour smile: "What a big battle, Yelia, you are quite capable."
It was raining lightly, but Jelia still stood under the door lintel, standing proudly and said: "Mike, Shelia, you are back, are you having fun in the countryside?"
Xeliya quickly jumped to Yelia's side, held her arms, patted her horse in greeting, and said with a smile: "Yelia, I miss you so much when I can't see you. Hahaha!"
Li Guolou said: "Yelia, Mayuko, I'm not too late."
Mayuko held up her slightly swollen belly and said proudly: "Mike, as the host you are late, and as the guest you are here uninvited. Cack, clack!"
Mayuko, Xie Liya and Chu Xiangyu who had just walked to the gate laughed proudly. They no longer had to look at Li Guolou's face to act. They had their own careers and became the masters.
Li Guolou showed a wry smile. The grandmothers did not welcome him. They regarded him as a thief who stole the fruits of victory. They asked warmly: "Why are you two standing at the door? It's windy and rainy, which is not good for your health."
"
"Hey, for the sake of two hundred and forty-five children who are alone, what do we think?"
Li Guolou was mixing garlic at his feet and almost fell out. He staggered before he could regain his footing. He frowned and turned around and shouted: "Jelia, tell me again, how many orphans are there?"
"Oh! It's nothing. It's just that there are two orphanages in the city that can't be run anymore. The two deans there asked President Zhen to come to them. When I saw those children, my heart softened. I accepted the two messes and prepared to start a new one.
Let's integrate it and open a new school. President Zhen said that the license is a one-stop service anyway. We will directly educate these orphans, and then recruit some smart poor students so that they can have the opportunity to study abroad like you." Yelia.
He spoke in a low voice without caring, not daring to look at Li Guolou's twisted face.
Li Guolou whispered: "Yeliya, are you crazy, or are you all crazy? This kind of thing belongs to the country's foreign policy, and it should be decided by the prime minister. It is up to us to make the decision. Besides, we have more than enough ambition but not enough power.
, do you know how much money an international student needs? Are those orphans good at studying? Do you understand genetics? What is a scholarly family background? Do you understand it?"
"An old saying goes: It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Mike, we are only in the beginning stage. Difficulties are inevitable. Only when we face them head on can we show our talents. We can cross the river by feeling the stones." Jelia glanced at Li
Guolou, once it has started, will not stop. The distinguished guests of the Ziyi Club who come here and their selfless support for their career are the testimony of opening up the world of tomorrow.
Li Guolou stamped his feet anxiously and said angrily: "Jelia, what I sometimes say is just rhetoric. You can't regard idealism as the goal of your struggle. It is a castle in the air, just like the paradise in the Bible. You can only achieve it by dying.
visible."
Jelia stood proudly in the corridor of the cloister, looking at Li Guolou without hesitation, and retorted: "Mike, we all despise you for saying that idealism is unrealistic and ridiculous. Ideals are lofty and also
Great. The Bible cannot be blasphemed. You are not a true Catholic. You must confess your sins to the priest. We have made a decision and will not look back. You can either support us and stay here and do what you can. Or
Go back and hide under the covers and watch us pioneers become more and more courageous. Now I give you a minute to make a choice." After saying that, Yelia blinked at Mayuzi, and the two of them acted in unison, holding Li Guolou's arm and refusing to let him go.
He has time to think.
"I, I, I, have worked so hard to come back, why bother? You have set your goals so high, which is called lofty ambitions." Li Guolou was unwilling to give up, and his family had to destroy all the money in the family just after starting.
"Mike, how could it be? You are worrying too much. Did you see the carriage outside? Today we will invite the people from the Ziyi Club to the thank you party. We can afford to raise more than 200 orphans. We can run the "Jeliya New Fashion School"
The start-up funds are already in place, but I am a little confused at the beginning, but you are still good at planning." Yelia laughed proudly.
The stone in Li Guolou's heart fell halfway, but he still frowned and said: "Yelia, if you come forward, will anyone accuse you of being deviant?"
"Don't worry, those businessmen's vision is different from the past. They just think that I am French, and they think this is more reliable. They say that it is me who comes forward to hire foreign teachers so that the children will not be indoctrinated with those reactionary colonial ideas.
President Wan of the Ziyi Society fully supported the founding of the "Yeliya New Fashion School", and the name of this school was given by President Wan."
Li Guolou was still frightened after hearing this. Education is the most criticized. If a piece of Chinese literature is not well chosen, it will be a literary prison. Doesn't this keep him at the forefront? Even the emperor's teacher in the Qing Empire
A person who is trapped in literary prison should be required to study Chinese language assiduously and understand every piece of Chinese language that is new and trendy.
"Mike, I feel a little uncomfortable, I feel like I'm going to vomit." Mayuko stroked her slightly swollen belly and made a sad look, not letting Li Guolou come up with ideas and thwart their decision.
"Oh, please be careful, Mayuko. I will help you in, and you will sit next to me later, so that I can rest assured." Li Guolou was interrupted from his thoughts and no longer worried about big things. He was still too busy with housework.
You can just muddle through the thank you meeting, and the grandmothers can do whatever they want. Anyway, there are people from Mike's support group to help, and the car will go straight to the bridge.
"Mike, today is my place. You just need to be the man behind a successful woman. Do you understand what I mean?" Yelia's ambitions grew and he was afraid that Li Guolou would seize power and told Li Guolou to shut up later.
, talk as little as possible.
"Yes!" Li Guolou nodded helplessly. The fine tradition of keeping a low profile was his usual style at home. Even things like going to bed are now arranged by his family members. It seemed that Li Guolou felt that he was
