Hearing that there seemed to be a lot of stories in Li Yalin's words, Mr. An said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if it's long. Let's talk slowly at the dinner table later."
Mr. An has just escaped from hell, and he has serious memory problems, so he is completely ignorant of the most exciting things in the United States right now.
However, he knew Li Yalin very well and knew that this kid had a very stubborn temper and would never admit defeat at any time, so he was even more curious about what he had gone through.
Li Yalin knew that it was impossible to explain clearly to the old man in three or two sentences, so he said vaguely: "Okay, Uncle An, I won't bother you with my trivial matters. I will accompany you later."
You can have two drinks!"
The old lady hurriedly said: "Yalin, we can't let your Uncle An drink. If he drinks again with his brain, I'm afraid he won't even recognize me."
"Yes, yes..." Li Yalin came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Blame me, blame me, blame me for not thinking carefully."
The old man chuckled and said, "Looking at your dejected look, I know you must want to drink it yourself."
With that, he said to An Chongqiu and An Kaifeng: "Chongqiu, Kaifeng, you two will have a drink with Yalin later, and I won't drink anymore."
The two brothers nodded: "Okay dad."
The old man looked at Li Yalin's unconcealable decadence and said in a serious tone: "Yalin! Be more energetic! Look at you now, you are not as heroic as I was back then!"
Li Yalin quickly stood up straight and said respectfully: "Uncle An, what you are criticizing is..."
At this time, An Chongqiu looked at the time and said, "Dad, how about we eat first, and we can chat at the dinner table later."
"Okay." The old man nodded: "Let's eat first."
The top floor of Anbang Building has a construction area of over 4,000 square meters. Normally, it can accommodate at least hundreds of people working, but this entire floor was originally used by the old man alone.
On this floor, there are not only conventional office building configurations such as offices and conference rooms, but also living facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, physical therapy rooms, and restaurants.
In fact, the old man did not plan to use such a large area as his office space, but when his eldest daughter, An Chengqi, was planning the building, she had already set aside this floor for him and worked on it herself according to his preferences.
The interior is well decorated, so the old man has a very deep affection for this place.
Afterwards, everyone moved to the Chinese restaurant located in the south of the top floor. Although Li Yalin had a good relationship with the An family, he had not been here for many years. Seeing that everything here was brand new, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He couldn't help but ask An Chongqiu in a low voice: "Chongqiu, this building of yours has been in use for at least 20 or 30 years, right? How come it's still so new?"
An Chongqiu whispered: "The An family has strong financial resources, so the overall maintenance of this building is very good. Basically, it needs to be renovated every two to three years. This floor is maintained by dedicated personnel every day. Since my sister
After his death, the old man gave a death order and all the patterns here were not allowed to change. Therefore, everything you can see on this floor has at least several new sets as spares. Some items that have been discontinued are paid a lot of money.
I hired a craftsman to make a replica."
As he spoke, An Chongqiu pointed to the carpet in the corridor and said: "The carpet under your feet is hand-woven by Iranian craftsmen. It is similar to the one used in the Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi later. One square meter costs nearly one square meter."
With US$10,000, the old man hired more than a hundred craftsmen from Iran to make dozens of sets based on the carpet my sister left behind, and replace it every year."
Li Yalin was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but said: "Your family really doesn't regard money as money... A carpet costing 10,000 US dollars per square meter can be replaced in one year... Don't you feel bad about throwing away this money..."
An Chongqiu said seriously: "Old Li, when it comes to things like money, if you only look at the amount and not the proportion, you are being a hooligan."
Li Yalin asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"
An Chongqiu said casually: "The cost of replacing such a carpet for Anjia, as a proportion of Anjia's assets, is basically equivalent to replacing a new garbage bag for your trash can. Do you feel bad when you change the garbage bag?"
"Fuck..." Li Yalin smacked his lips and cursed, "You fucking did it again."
An Chongqiu curled his lips: "Just tell the truth."
While talking, everyone came to the Chinese restaurant one after another. The old man called Li Yalin to the front and asked Li Yalin to sit down next to him.
Since An Kaifeng had already greeted us in advance, as soon as everyone sat down, the service staff immediately served the prepared meals one after another.
An Kaifeng took the initiative to get a bottle of liquor, and planned to have a few drinks with Li Yalin with his elder brother.
The old man seemed to be very concerned about Li Yalin's current predicament and kept asking him what had happened recently.
Li Yalin couldn't say much, so he just vaguely said that he had not handled several major cases well recently. Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, the old man didn't ask any more questions.
Because of his personality, Li Yalin usually didn't have many friends. In addition, his mother passed away early, and his father held him back alone and never renewed their relationship, so Li Yalin didn't have many brothers or sisters.
In recent years, his wife took their children to Houston, and he became even more isolated in New York. Although his family has had a good relationship with the An family since his father's generation, there was a huge gap, so Li Yalin used to
I'm sorry to bother you all the time.
If An Chongqiu hadn't been hit hard when he bought the Spring Rejuvenation Pill in Jinling some time ago, and Li Yalin happened to be trapped by the case of Fei Haoyang's kidnapping, the two of them wouldn't have had much chance to meet each other often.
Therefore, now, sitting among the An family, the lonely Li Yalin has found a sense of being at home, and the depression in his heart has been relieved a little.
While exchanging cups with An Chongqiu, An Kaifeng and An Zhaonan, Li Yalin received a text message.
The message was sent by one of his closest men, who said in the message that the identity of the owner of the roast goose shop had been found through an informant in Hong Kong.
Li Yalin was suddenly startled, and quickly excused himself to go to the bathroom, and came out to call the other party back.
As soon as the phone call came through, he asked: "Xiao Wu, what new discoveries have you made?!"
The other party said on the phone: "Boss, the owner of the roast goose shop, his real name is Chen Zhaozhong. He is a gangster who smuggled himself to the United States from Hong Kong Island more than 20 years ago. Don't look at it. He runs a small restaurant that is ordinary. Earlier,
Nian was also a top student in the financial field, and he was a turtle who returned to Hong Kong Island after studying in the United States. It was just that he offended the local wealthy people in Hong Kong Island more than 20 years ago, so he ran away to New York."
As he said that, the other party added: "You know, this Chen Zhaozhong was well known in Hong Kong back then. He did a big thing that has made the whole Hong Kong talk about it to this day, which is to abduct the girlfriend of the rich man.
Let’s go, we both came to the United States illegally together.”
"Fuck..." Li Yalin smacked his lips and sighed: "This guy is a fucking love interest!"
"Yes." The other party said again: "Oh, by the way, boss, I also found out one thing. Chen Zhaozhong and the big star named Gu Qiuyi do know each other. Gu Yanzhong was mentioned in the information fed back by the informant.
, that is, Gu Qiuyi’s father, who made a special trip to Hong Kong to meet with the rich man because of his affairs."
When Li Yalin heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "This... this seems to be perfect... In this way, it is logical that Gu Qiuyi, a big star, would go to a small roast goose shop in Chinatown.
…”
"Yes." The other party said: "I also think it is quite logical. I think this line should have nothing to do with Fei Haoyang's kidnapping, so I will report it to you quickly."
Li Yalin laughed at himself: "I have already retired early, so there is no report. If you have any latest developments in this case, just disclose it to me appropriately without violating the regulations."
