It's a bit boring on weekends when I can't get a date with my boyfriend.
Tang Yili decided to go home and take a look.
She is from this city, and her home is only ten kilometers away from the school. It is neither far nor close. It only takes 20 minutes to take a taxi.
The Tang family lived in the most expensive section of the Embassy District. Tang Yili had always lived with Tang Feng. Later, when he went to college and returned less often, Tang Feng bought another large flat for his daughter in the same community.
The implication is that my daughter has grown up and will have her own life sooner or later.
But more than two years have passed, and Tang Yili's apartment has been gathering dust. Except for her aunt who cleans it regularly, no one lives there at all.
Tang Yili got off the taxi and went directly back to Tangfeng's home.
When I walked in, changed my shoes, the house was quiet.
Tang Yili casually hung the mahjong bag into the entrance cabinet and saw Tang Feng's slippers inside.
He should have gone out.
Tang Yili didn't worry, and went straight to her room, changed into off-white sportswear, and sank on the sofa in the living room, digging into ice cream and watching TV.
What was on TV was a love variety show.
The male and female guests are not only good-looking, but also have high-end makeup and outfits. Therefore, this show has become a hot topic recently.
Tang Yili majored in fashion design, and with a learning attitude, she watched with great interest.
It's almost noon, it's time to have lunch, and my aunt is back from shopping for groceries.
"Ali, you are here, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Tang Yili turned his head and put his arms on the back of the sofa, "Where's my dad? Is he coming back to eat?"
"Mr. Tang said he made an appointment with someone for dinner and won't be back at noon."
"Oh, who are you having dinner with?"
Sister Yue put on her apron and was walking to the kitchen, answering casually.
"I heard Mr. Tang call the driver and tell him that his surname was Ji. It seemed difficult to make an appointment. We could barely meet him on weekends."
"Oh, he said you don't have to wait for him to have dinner at night."
Tang Yili straightened his body and sank into the soft sofa again.
Tang Feng values his family most and rarely socializes on weekends. Today's exception is very unusual.
Although she didn't know or heard of anyone with the surname Ji, she knew with her knees that her father was begging him to do business.
Yes, it’s asking for help.
Otherwise, how would you prepare yourself from morning till night?
Tang Yili was a little worried and couldn't even watch the TV.
She had a good time but not a good time, and finally made it to the end of the show.
On the TV, the sponsor's subtitles kept scrolling in a loop, and it read in large letters: Lauder Group.
The Lauder Group is the property of the Li family. Judging from the fact that they sponsor the most popular variety shows, you probably know that the Li family is now prosperous.
So it's no wonder that the father rejected the Li family's olive branch. The Li family rarely made any move, and even Li Jiaoyang didn't bother Tang Yili recently.
The Li family knew exactly what the father and daughter were. People who are desperate will naturally look back.
The Lauder Group's advertisement was still playing on the TV. Tang Yili picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
…
Ji Nanyun's business is spread all over the world, but he rarely goes out and has always lived in Jiangsu Province. Although he is from Beishi, he has not set foot in the north for several years.
Mainly because of my wife and children.
My wife is from Jiangsu Province and is used to the climate there.
As an only son, he loves swimming. Su Province has the best swimming teachers in the country, so it was natural for him to settle in Nanshi.
This time I came to Beishi, not only to inspect the business, but also to have a meal with my son.
When Xun Lang walked in, the dishes had just been served, and the secretaries and assistants left the box with their hands down.
Ji Nanyun walked over from the floor-to-ceiling window with a majestic air.
"After the game, I returned to China. I didn't even go back home first. I came directly to the team to report. Do you know that your mother misses you very much?"
Xun Lang replied bluntly: "I called my mother. She said she would come and play for a while and we would meet again then."
The father and son looked like they were in a mold, one competing and the other serious.
We haven't seen each other for several months, and the conversation has only gone one round, but nothing has happened.
The awkward atmosphere is a bit stalemate.
Ji Nanyun softly spoke, "Sit down, the food will get cold in a while."
Father and son sat down together.
This is a private club, opened in the middle of a national park lake. It employs experienced craftsmen who can cook authentic Yangzhou cuisine. It is a place that ordinary people can't even touch.
Inside the private room, there is a Chinese-style decoration, with a plum tree and a pine tree, each with its own branches, giving it an ascetic cultural temperament.
High-end is high-end, but it makes people lose their appetite.
Ji Nanyun and Xun Lang both didn't eat much, so one after the other, they put down their wooden chopsticks with chicken wings and asked for refreshments.
The refreshments are also in the same style.
Ji Nanyun frowned, "Only your mother likes this dish. I don't like it."
The manager was serving tea, but when he heard this, he was frightened to death. He hurriedly bowed and apologized.
"Mr. Ji, I will replace it for you right away."
Ji Nanyun: "You know what I want, just change."
The manager nodded and bowed again.
Xun Lang: "I think it tastes good. You can go down first."
If the manager received an amnesty, he glanced at Xun Lang gratefully and left with the tea tray in his arms.
Ji Nanyun picked up the tea cup, blew off the foam, took a sip, and said slowly: "You like to go against me wherever you go."
He put down the tea cup, "A dish is like this, and a cup of tea is like this..."
He originally wanted to say that his lifelong career would still be like this.
But it was rare for father and son to get together, and Ji Nanyun didn't want to mess up the atmosphere, so he swallowed the last half of the sentence alive.
Xun Lang understood but pretended not to understand, and said calmly: "I didn't mean that. It's just that my mother likes it here. I've eaten with her a few times and she's used to it."
When Xun Miaoyun was mentioned, Ji Nanyun, who doted on his wife, remained silent.
He himself followed his wife's preferences.
Another boring topic.
Father and son sat opposite each other, drinking tea. After two cups of tea, Xun Lang couldn't help but look at his watch first.
"What?" Ji Nanyun raised his thick eyebrows, "Are you the only one who is busy?"
He stood up first and called Secretary Li Chen.
There was a knock on the door immediately. After receiving the signal, Secretary Chen opened the door and came in, bowing slightly.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Xiao Ji."
Secretary Chen has served the Ji family for twenty years and is highly respected for her hard work.
Xun Lang stood up and called "Uncle Chen" with a smile.
Secretary Chen nodded kindly and wanted to talk about old times, but when he saw Ji Nanyun's face, he held back his words.
Ji Nanyun: "What else do I have planned for the afternoon?"
Secretary Chen: "They are all CEOs of several companies in Bei City. They want to have a meal with you to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation."
Secretary Chen didn't even need to look at the itinerary and directly reported the list.
"Mr. Zhao of Fuxin Group."
"Fan Chengcheng of Keya Communications, Mr. Fan..."
"There is also Li Zhouyi from the Lauder Group, Mr. Li. He also asked you to go to the club together in the evening. He said that he had received a batch of good red wine..."
Xun Lang had already picked up his sports backpack and was ready to walk out in the next second.
Ji Nanyun's face became darker and darker.
Secretary Chen stopped at the right time and observed Mr. Ji's reaction. Seeing that neither father nor son spoke, he quickly finished.
"The last one is a local textile company. We haven't had any dealings with us before, but it seems to have encountered difficulties. Their boss has been waiting for you in the office for a long time."
Ji Nanyun raised his eyebrows and asked impatiently: "What's your name?"
Secretary Chen: "Fengtang Group, Tang Feng, Mr. Tang."
