Ye Shaolong followed his father to the door, and suddenly a black Audi came into view. For this official brand that many people designated, Ye Shaolong could still recognize it even if he didn't know anything about cars.
A middle-aged man stood in front of the car, looking at him and his father with a smile on his face.
Although they only met once, Ye Shaolong has not forgotten that the middle-aged man in a white shirt and black trousers in front of him is Li Zhiqiang, the owner of the Jintong Hotel where his father works.
"Boss, this is my son, Ye Shaolong." Father Ye introduced Ye Shaolong to Li Zhiqiang with a slightly respectful tone.
"Hey, Lao Ye, it's time to get off work now. You can call me Lao Li. I don't need the boss before the boss after the boss. My ears are calloused just listening to it."
When Li Zhiqiang speaks, he is not as rigid as he is in a black and white formal suit. Instead, he seems quite casual.
However, Father Ye did not dare to accept these words. Instead, he said to Ye Shaolong: "My son, my name is Mr. Li."
No matter what Li Zhiqiang said just now, whether it was intentional or natural, it made Ye Shaolong feel a little good. At this time, he didn't put on any airs after hearing his father's words.
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
Li Zhiqiang stared at Ye Shaolong for a full minute, and then said to Ye's father beside Ye Shaolong: "Old Ye, actually we have met your son a long time ago, don't you remember?"
Father Ye pretended to suddenly realize it, slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, yes, yes, you see, my memory is really hard to accept when I get old!"
Li Zhiqiang immediately took over and said: "Hey, Lao Ye, you are in your prime, how can you say such discouraging words? We still cannot do without you in our hotel's work. Don't ask me to retire early or resign."
I quit!”
At this time, Ye Shaolong was calmly doing his duty as a child. He said nothing and watched the two adults saying polite words to each other with a smile on his face.
At this moment, Li Zhiqiang suddenly changed the subject and said to Father Ye: "Old Ye, can I lend your precious son a few words?"
After hearing this, Ye's father thought that Li Zhiqiang wanted to talk to Ye Shaolong alone. Although he didn't know the reason why the boss in front of him, who had always been a bit "arrogant", would talk to Ye Shaolong, he still nodded and planned to go back to the house first.
"Hey, Lao Ye, you don't mind if I take your son out, won't you worry that I abduct him?"
Li Zhiqiang stopped Ye's father who turned around and asked.
After hearing what Li Zhiqiang said, Father Ye was slightly startled. Li Zhiqiang might have something that couldn't be discussed here and would have to be discussed outside.
Father Ye saw Ye Shaolong nodded slightly to him and told him not to worry. He who had always placed very few restrictions on Ye Shaolong's freedom immediately felt at ease.
"Mr. Li, you are joking, but if Quanzi offends Mr. Li in some inappropriate way, Mr. Li needs to be patient and bear with him if he doesn't remember the children's faults!" Father Ye turned to Li Zhiqiang and said.
"Hey, what you said is right! Don't worry! I will definitely bring your precious son back intact!"
After Li Zhiqiang finished speaking, he motioned with his eyes for Ye Shaolong to get in the car.
"Dad, I'll go and come back." Ye Shaolong said this to his father, walked to the back seat door, opened it, and sat in without being humble or haughty.
Ye Shaolong didn't ask where Li Zhiqiang was taking him. Since Li Zhiqiang took the initiative to find him this time, there must be something or some reason.
Therefore, Ye Shaolong was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Li Zhiqiang to speak first.
The reason why Ye Shaolong chose to sit behind the driver's seat was because he didn't want to give Li Zhiqiang a good angle to observe him. He was used to making plans before he made his move, and he always liked to hide in the dark, not giving the enemy a chance to know more about him. At the same time, he also
It means one less risk.
Li Zhiqiang didn't know whether he had seen through Ye Shaolong's intention or had no intention of observing or talking to Ye Shaolong in the car. He didn't take the initiative to speak until the car stopped.
"Xiaoye, we're here, I think you won't mind if I call you this?"
After parking the car, Li Zhiqiang spoke, but he asked Ye Shaolong to get out of the car.
Regarding Li Zhiqiang's words, Ye Shaolong just smiled and said nothing.
"You've said so. It's obviously inappropriate for me to mind you. No one who has been around the mall for a long time is an ordinary person. Even asking questions is very skillful."
Ye Shaolong thought secretly in his heart.
Ye Shaolong smiled and said nothing, which was actually a bit impolite, especially when the other party was his elder.
However, since he decided to move his parents to live in the South China Military Region, Ye Shaolong had no reason to deliberately please the middle-aged man in front of him who might not be his father's boss at any time.
In fact, at this time, Ye Shaolong did not regard himself as a child at all, nor did Li Zhiqiang regard him as an elder. Since it was Li Zhiqiang who took the initiative to find him, he must have either doubts or requests for him. In this case,
There was absolutely no need for Ye Shaolong to act groveling.
What Li Zhiqiang brought Ye Shaolong to was not an elegant place like a luxurious hotel, but a coffee shop with a somewhat tranquil atmosphere.
Ye Shaolong looked at the name of the coffee shop. It didn't look like a chain brand, but more like a private club.
At this time, there was no one in the coffee shop, or in other words, except for the waiter, no one else was seen within Ye Shaolong's sight.
Li Zhiqiang chose a table for two by the window and sat down. Ye Shaolong had no choice but to follow him and sit opposite Li Zhiqiang.
At this time, Li Zhiqiang began to take a look at Ye Shaolong, but Ye Shaolong obviously behaved quite naturally in this regard, either looking at him with neither humility nor arrogance, or casually looking out the window, neither afraid of his eyes nor taking the initiative to speak.
I don't know how long it took before Li Zhiqiang asked: "Xiaoye, what do you want to drink?"
"Oh, Uncle Li, I just want a glass of boiled water."
As soon as Ye Shaolong opened his mouth, he changed the title of Mr. Li to Uncle Li very familiarly.
Li Zhiqiang was slightly stunned after hearing this, but Ye Shaolong was completely unaware of the rudeness in his words, as if he was just a child who was ignorant of the world.
After coming back to his senses, Li Zhiqiang smiled slightly, called the waiter, and asked her to give them a cup of coffee and a cup of boiled water.
"Lao Ye is so lucky to have such a good son!"
After the waiter left, Li Zhiqiang said something like this.
Ye Shaolong still smiled and said nothing. He didn't even say thank you for the compliment. He was just like a child who didn't understand the world.
"At a young age, he is already a corporate doctor. Even a large group like Dacheng Group cured his illness immediately after receiving Xiaoye's prescription."
Li Zhiqiang didn't seem to care about the smile and silence of Ye Shaolong, who was ignorant of worldly affairs and a bit ignorant of etiquette. It was like he said this casually like an old friend for many years.
