The middle of the night in early summer is the most leisurely time at Tianye Ranch.
The trainers interacted with the horses in a relaxed manner on the pasture, the men joked with the women by the stream after cleaning the stables, and the children were allowed to run freely.
However, no one can see Mr. Li at this time, except his cousin.
"The wooden house is leaking, and Mr. Li's lungs cannot bear the cold. He was injured while trying to save the young lady, so he deserves to live more comfortably. As for Mr. Li, a guest came to visit him." Kazuo Ikeda explained diligently.
In the past, only people from the Jingchi family could live in Tianye Ranch; this villa also had some background, but it was difficult to tell outsiders.
"Mr. Li is taking a bath in the hot springs now. He won't be back until evening." A waiter serving Zhu Tong responded to Kazuo Ikeda's inquiry. He was specially selected by Nomura and could speak Chinese.
"Then go and call him back and tell him that Mr. Tian and Miss Chen are here to see him." Ikeda Kazuo ordered in a pretentious manner.
The waiter was not afraid of him, and had no intention of calling anyone: "I don't dare to go. Mr. Li refused to receive guests when he was soaking in the hot springs; even if the lady called him, Mr. Li said that as long as the sky doesn't fall, you can't
Disturb him."
"Eh? When did Director Li become so domineering? Where is he? I'll go find him." The speaker was Chen Yiyi.
"I can't let you go either, Mr. Li will curse. Be careful he will kick you all out." The waiter had no expression on his face and did not even look at the guest's face when he spoke.
In the past two days, Mr. Li's cousin was not at the ranch, and went to the mountains to look for herbs with Master Nomura. The waiter was relatively relaxed; he thought that Kazuo Ikeda knew that Master Nomura was not around, so he dared to bring guests.
Chen Yiyi didn't know Director Li's current prestige and asked curiously: "Are you sure it is Dr. Li Xiangli from China who is bathing in the hot springs now?" When she thought about it, although Director Li sometimes did not know how to praise him, he was still very easy-going most of the time. But.
What the waiter said was that he was an inhumane and arrogant guy; could it be that Director Li went crazy just because he was slightly injured and saved the young lady from the Jingchi family?
The waiter nodded politely but ignored her; this lady seemed not as powerful as Mr. Li's cousin.
"We'd better not disturb him. The horses at Tianye Ranch are world-famous. Can Mr. Ikeda let us see them?" Mr. Tian smiled nonchalantly.
Tian Xuyang has been in trouble recently. First, his cooperation with Kazuo Ikeda to invest in Chinese Commercial Bank ended in failure; then, his subsidiary company was involved in an equity dispute and was ordered to suspend trading for rectification by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. He thought that Wang Xiangjie was causing trouble, but he could not retaliate. Times
The difference is that Wang Xiang frame is more powerful than him.
The most troublesome thing is about treasure hunting. I don’t know who posted this very secret thing on the Internet. Now on the line from Shanghai to Nanjing, as long as there is a hilltop, there are people wandering around with shovels. In the mountainous areas near Nanjing, there are a large number of people.
People were digging and searching with various tools; all the temples were regarded as key areas of suspicion, causing a lot of trouble and monks scolding their mothers, but there was nothing they could do.
There are too many talented people in China. Millions of people are looking for the same treasure. Every possible place has been visited. Mr. Tian is already planning to give up. He doesn’t know when the next treasure map and acrostic poem will appear.
, does it still make sense when it appears?
The most important thing is that even if another seal does appear, no one can tell the authenticity from the fake; now in Shanghai, there will be more than a dozen books about treasures on every bookstall. Just enter treasure on the search engine
With two words, hundreds of treasure maps will appear on the screen.
However, the more people join in, the greater the possibility of the existence of this treasure. Even CCTV, which has always been serious, has broadcast a series about the treasure for many consecutive periods. Their information does not yet have Mr. Tian in hand.
That's a lot. It's a treasure worth a billion dollars, and it can solve many problems, so Mr. Tian has a headache.
He also had another purpose in coming to Japan this time: to meet the new head of the Ichi Consortium and test the possibility of further cooperation between the two parties.
To put it bluntly, Mr. Tian has five listed companies under his name, which are closely linked to each other and are known as the Rising Sun Group in the capital market. However, only two of these five companies are profitable, and the remaining three are in a semi-empty shell state.
Tian Xuyang has no intention of running a good business. If it weren't for Wang Xiangjie, he would have made good profits just by tossing around in the stock market. Now, Wang Xiangjie has been staring at the stock market for more than half a year, and no one dares to mess around at this time.
.
Therefore, the weakness of the Xuri Group's reliance on bank loans is gradually exposed; the annual reports of two companies last year were not very beautiful, and someone has already smelled it. If there is no suitable partner to intervene before the bank collects the loan at the end of the year, there will not be a large number of
Once the banks tighten the lending quota early next year and the capital chain becomes tight, the Rising Sun System is likely to collapse, and he will be in big trouble.
There is now news that the country is very likely to introduce tightening monetary policy before the end of the year.
Baili Xiao may be the most relaxed one. He goes out with Mr. Tian more than once or twice, and he is not very enthusiastic about treasure hunting. Qianmen is developing smoothly now. As long as he does not get into big trouble and as long as Mr. Tian does not fall, he will be very successful.
He may achieve his ideal within five years. This time he came to Japan mainly because he wanted to explore Zhu Tong's tone of voice.
The rivers and lakes seem to be very calm recently, and the small fights in the past have disappeared; there are not many high-rollers in Qianmen's gambling boats. However, the more this happens, the more vigilant it is. Who knows what kind of waves will be caused after the calm is over? It is important to be prepared for a rainy day.
Li Xiao's habit, he wanted to know what the masters in the world were thinking and doing?
Kazuo Ikeda still has the right to take guests on horseback, but he can't get close to really good horses. Fortunately, Tian Xuyang and Chen Yiyi just want to ride horses to relax, and the second-rate horses at Tianye Ranch are also rare good horses. They can coax them.
These laymen are happy enough.
Horseback riding is also very tiring, and the hot springs at Tianye Ranch are as famous as the horses.
When the Tian brothers and sisters finished enjoying the hot springs at the foot of the mountain and returned to the villa, the sunset had already dyed the pasture golden. Only then did Tian Xuyang feel the weight of Li Xiang. Ikeda Kazuo never mentioned eating, obviously waiting
The current owner of the villa, Li Xiang, how could a shrewd doctor make Kazuo Ikeda so nervous? It seems that in his heart, this doctor is more important than himself.
Chen Yiyi also felt the same, and she thought more; Kazuo Ikeda was also one of the investors of her hospital. When they contacted her before, Ikeda was a completely different person, polite but arrogant. It could make him have such a big impact.
There is only one reason for the change: someone with a higher status than Ikeda Kazuo values Li Xiang.
Is there any need to think about who that person is? The only one is Miss Ichi Yukimi, the heiress of the billionaire Ichi Corporation and still unmarried.
"There are not many doctors like Director Li in the world, right?" Chen Yiyi said this while standing in front of the villa where Director Li temporarily lived.
"Tick-tick-tick!" came the sound of horse hooves, and a white horse with beautiful lines strolled over from the west side of the woods.
The setting sun penetrates the swaying mane, and the white horse is like a Pegasus covered in golden light. The knight on the horse has a straight back and more than a dozen butterflies flying around. Isn't he none other than Director Li Xiang?
The person holding the reins for Director Li was... Bai Jiashu; he really knew how to enjoy it, and this horse seemed to be better than the ones they had just ridden.
"Prince Charming! You are really free. It's so cool to hide in this blessed land of gods. Come down quickly and let me see if Director Li is happy and unwilling to go back to the small temple of Ocean Hospital?" Chen Yiyi took a few steps forward and held the reins of the horse.
, looking up at him.
Zhu Tong's wet hair was exuding heat; he smiled and waved his hands.
The two people standing in front of the door had already passed by, carefully helping him get off the horse, and placed him on a soft chair in front of the villa. One person quickly placed a soft cushion behind him, and the other poured a cup of warm wine.
Hot tea was served and the service was extremely attentive.
Chen Yiyi asked Director Li why he was doing so well. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you really a master?"
"Ahem!" Zhu Tong coughed violently after being slapped like this, and his face turned red.
He took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and wiped it several times; the white handkerchief was stained with a thrilling blood red! The waiter pushed Chen Yiyi away, his eyes seemed to be on fire.
"A gentleman talks but never moves. Miss Chen...cough cough, I am not happy to have friends from my hometown. I am rude. Mr. Ikeda, long time no see. Mr. Tian, and... Mr., come, sit down and serve tea."
Tong weakly asked the waiter to step back. He seemed to have used a lot of effort and was panting slightly.
Only then did a few people realize that Director Li was really weak now. He was like a paper man, untouchable.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Yiyi squatted down in distress, picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth.
"It's nothing. I have something wrong with my lungs. I'll be fine if I take some rest. Mr. Tian, long time no see." Director Li reluctantly explained, and then asked two waiters to move stools to the guests and serve tea. They were busy for a while.
"You should take good care of yourself when you are sick. We are here to relax this time. It is too boring in China." Mr. Tian sat next to Zhu Tong and tried his best to hide the shock in his heart. Zhu Tong's current condition is almost like a useless person.
When Director Li coughed up blood when Chen Yiyi slapped him twice, the two waiters who served him looked fierce and seemed to intend to take action. He had seen the Kung Fu of thousands of disciples, and it wasn't Director Li who waved his hand. Maybe Chen Yiyi had been
Throw it out.
But what Ikeda Kazuo showed was panic! Tianye Ranch is not simple, the Ichi family is not simple, and this Li Xiang is not simple either.
Before coming to Japan, they all knew that Director Li was injured, but it was a minor injury and it didn't matter anymore. Chen Yiyi also received official news that Director Li and Dr. Zheng Shurong had successfully completed the medical mission. At the invitation of the host, they
I will study at the Kyoto Institute of Medical Sciences and exchange for a period of time, and will not be able to return to China until about July or the end of June.
Two butterflies landed on Zhu Tong's shoulders. He didn't look at it or chase it away. He squinted at Chen Yiyi and said, "Miss Chen, I don't blame you; I also want to thank you. I thanked you for the previous period, and I may have more butterflies in the near future.
Thank you for your hard work; my body, cough cough!"
"Stop talking and rest for a while." Chen Yiyi saw that he started coughing again and gently massaged his back with distress.
"It doesn't matter. I'm a doctor and I know it myself."
Bai Jiashu brought a bowl of soup, and Zhu Tong drank it while Chen Yiyi was waiting on him, and his coughing stopped.
"I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to dinner. Mr. Ikeda, please give me two drinks to Mr. Tian. He has a good drinking capacity."
