There is a very special thing about this turmoil, that is, this time Li Qi is completely aloof from the incident. You must know that whenever such a thing occurs, it has more or less to do with Li Qi, but this time
For once, there wasn't even a private prostitute in Li Qi's house. It was truly a perfect existence.
But is there really no relationship at all secretly?
Of course not, it can even be said that this was caused by Li Qi.
On a mountainside in the eastern suburbs, Li Qi was sitting in a pavilion, while Ma Qiao was leaning listlessly on the pavilion pillars.
"People are coming."
Ma Qiao said suddenly.
Li Qi turned his head slightly and saw an upright Taoist priest walking towards him, holding a whisk in his hand.
After a while, the Taoist priest came to the pavilion, saluted and said: "The little man Nan Bowan has seen the great man."
This person is none other than paparazzi king Nan Bowan.
"No gift."
Li Qi looked at him for a while and said, "You have gained a lot of weight recently!"
Nanbo Wan said sarcastically: "These are all gifts given by adults."
"Yes, I gave you all the meat, so I can maintain such a slender figure." Li Qi smiled softly, and then said seriously: "However, being comfortable will make people lazy. If you have nothing to do, find something for yourself to do. From you
Judging from your body shape, you seem to be more relaxed recently."
Nan Bowan said in fear: "The villain knows his mistake, and the villain will continue to work hard."
Li Qi hummed and said, "Just in time, I have a task for you now. You must have heard about the Women's Protection Law recently promulgated by the Legislative Yuan, right?"
Nan Bowan nodded and said: "I heard about it, little man."
Li Qidao: "Although it seems that the law enforcement of the Judicial Yuan is relatively smooth, the interests can make many people take risks, and there will definitely be many people who secretly force the singing girls to serve them. The singing girls have been suppressed all year round and are less courageous.
If you receive some intimidation, you may give in. This is because there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. But this is extremely detrimental to the development of our Song Dynasty, and some pressure must be given to these people."
Nan Bowan hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you mean, sir?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "There is no airtight wall in this world. You immediately order people to investigate secretly, collect evidence in this regard, and then create public opinion and publicize it. As long as public opinion rises, the Judicial Yuan must intervene."
Nan Bowan immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I know what to do."
Li Qi added: "In the near future, the Women's Protection Law will be implemented in all states and counties. You must also be prepared in advance to conduct a thorough investigation on the issue of Geisha, and think of it as helping the Judicial Yuan.
.”
Nan Bowan sang again. Now he has mastered the essence of paparazzi. He does not need Li Qi to give detailed instructions. As long as Li Qi assigns tasks to him, he will naturally know what to do.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Li Qi squinted and said, "Go and get ready right away. I need to arrange for three hundred people to go to Japan, spread across various counties in Japan."
Nan Bowan said: "Three hundred people? So many."
Li Qi did not explain, just said: "After autumn, I will arrange a business group to go to Japan. You have to prepare as early as possible. Their mission is very simple, which is to collect all intelligence, whether useful or useless. But don't
If you want to take risks, just stay in Japan."
When Nan Bowan saw Li Qi, he didn't say much and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He nodded and sang.
...
...
Zuixianju was not only the first restaurant in the Song Dynasty, but also a gathering place for public opinion.
Recently, the Legislative Yuan promulgated such a sensitive law, which has also promoted Zuixianju's business to a higher level. Some people even come to Zuixianju for dinner in order to get information.
That evening, in a private dining room on the second floor, I saw the three young masters and Zhou Hua sitting in the private dining room.
Hong Tianjiu asked Chai Cong opposite: "Chai Cong, what is the situation of your singing girls?"
Chai Cong smiled softly and said: "The singing girls in my house are not just idle people, they cannot be driven by money. Even if they want to leave before this, I will never force them to stay. I, Chai Cong, never do anything."
To force others to do something difficult, I burned all their contracts with a fire the day before yesterday, and I didn't bother to sign a new contract with them."
Isn't it understandable for ordinary people to pretend to be a man?
Hong Tianjiu said: "Then aren't they all gone?"
Chai Cong stared, and then said proudly: "No one left."
Zhou Hua clicked his tongue and said, "Chai Cong, you are really awesome. They must have stayed because they admire you."
This fat man is really good at talking. Chai Cong smiled and remained silent, which was considered acquiescence.
But Gao Yanei was unhappy and said: "What are you so proud of? I don't know about the private prostitutes in your house, there are only eight of them."
Chai Cong shook his paper fan lightly and said: "This woman is no longer important to me. The most valuable thing is a close friend. If they are not confidants, what use do I need them?"
"soulmate?"
Gao Yanei snorted and said, "Just blow it. If it weren't for your sake, I would have brought them all to my house."
"It doesn't make sense."
Chai Cong glared and said, "Your mind is full of obscene things, how can you understand what a confidante is?"
Gao Yanei said with disdain: "Then tell me, we are not in the same room, how can we know each other? Women are for love and affection. It is a waste to talk about poetry and lyrics with women. I might as well talk to those talented people."
Chai Cong snorted and said, "Why did I make a friend like you?"
"It's really unethical."
Gao Yanei retorted sarcastically.
Hong Tianjiu asked curiously: "That brother is the singing prostitute in your house."
Gao Yanei said proudly: "I also wanted to burn those contracts with a fire, but the singing girls were crying and forbid me to do so, which made me very embarrassed." But in his heart, he thought, what do you, Chai Cong, have?
It's amazing. I will burn the land deed when I go back later. I want to see who will be willing to leave me.
Hong Tianjiu sighed in admiration: "Brother, you are even more powerful than Chai Cong."
Gao Yanei said: "Of course, who in this world understands women better than my brother? By the way, Xiaojiu is the geisha in your house?"
Hong Tianjiu said carelessly: "I don't have any geishas. They all belong to my father. Besides, I don't like staying at home. It's not lively at all. If you want to find geishas, just go to Yingchun Tower."
Is it done?"
Zhou Hua suddenly pointed to the corner of the stairs and said, "Eh? Isn't that Brother Li?"
"where?"
Several people hurriedly turned around and saw Li Qi coming upstairs carrying a tray.
"Li Qi. Li Qi---eh? Why is he walking faster and faster?"
Originally, Li Qi was still walking upstairs slowly, but when Gao Yanei shouted, his feet immediately flew away, which surprised Gao Yanei.
Hong Tianjiu said excitedly: "Brother Li must be hiding some secret from us. Come on, let's follow him and take a look."
"It must be."
The two idiots immediately formed a tracking team.
Suddenly I heard someone downstairs say: "Hey, did you just see that Master Li went upstairs with a tray? Is he studying some new dishes? Alas. It has been a long time since I tasted Master Li's craftsmanship. It is really nostalgic.
ah."
"What new dishes are there? The economic envoy arrived earlier and they are just upstairs."
"I see, but this Privy Councilor is really a passionate person. It is said that there is not even a single prostitute in his house."
"Who said it wasn't?"
...
Chai Cong said to Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu: "You have heard it too, so don't go up and join in the fun."
If Feng Yinu was upstairs, Gao Yanei might have shamelessly gone up to join in the fun, but when they heard it was Bai Qiannuo, the two idiots were also frightened, so they sat back down again. Gao Yanei suddenly shouted angrily downstairs.
: "What do you know? If someone obtains the title of Lady Feng, a beauty as great as her, ordinary singing girls will not be able to take notice of her."
sweat!
The scene suddenly became quiet, and Chai Cong lowered his head deeply.
...
By this time, the sky had darkened.
There was a red candle burning in the box in the heaven and earth, and the yellow candlelight flickered slightly. It was full of the smell of waste.
I saw a young woman with a smiling face made of fruits in front of her, and a glass of colorful wine beside her.
It's just smiles and Caccino.
As for this young woman, of course she is Bai Qiannuo.
Bai Qiannuo looked at the smiling face in front of her with a smile on her face. Her mind was filled with sweet memories and she said, "I was really naive at the time. Just such a simple fruit plate and a glass of wine made me dizzy."
Even so, her face was filled with happiness.
Li Qi smiled and said: "In order to prevent this lie from being discovered by you, I have to smile for you for the rest of my life."
Bai Qiannuo said: "This is your decision, you can't go back on it."
Li Qi let out a sigh and said, "Why do I feel like I am the one who was deceived?"
Bai Qiannuo said "sternly": "You just woke up now, it's already too late."
Li Qi said weakly: "I beg you, White Snake, to give you some gentle treatment tonight, I will be afraid of you."
Bai Qiannuo spat with a blushing face and said, "I didn't say anything serious. I ate it and you waited on it."
"Yes, Your Lady Queen."
Bai Qiannuo snorted and chuckled.
Exactly: a cheerful smile.
The memory in the brain may be deceiving, but the memory of the tongue cannot be deceiving. This "blissful smile" is full of too many sweet memories. Every time Bai Qiannuo tastes this dish, it always tastes the same as the first one.
It's the same every time, so focused and undistracted. Although this dish has been improved countless times, the taste will always be the same on Bai Qiannuo's tongue, without any change.
Maybe what she tastes is not the delicacy brought by "browsing and smiling", but the happiness contained in "browsing and smiling".
She ate very slowly, as if she was nostalgic and reminiscing. Li Qi stood by with a smile on his face, without a trace of impatience. Such a night may seem simple, but it is too rare for them. In this world,
The chaos made this seemingly simple night extremely precious.
Unknowingly, the whole smile finally turned into a smile on Bai Qiannuo's face, and the cup of Caccino also left a blush on Bai Qiannuo, which looked even more charming under the candlelight.
Li Qi suddenly leaned over and kissed Bai Qiannuo's red lips. Bai Qiannuo was stunned for a moment, then blinked, feeling very shy. Li Qi lovingly held his beloved wife in his arms.
Bai Qiannuo snuggled into Li Qi's arms and whispered: "Husband, do you know, only when I taste this smile, I will feel how real this happiness is. I remember the time I saw Xiao Longnu marrying Yang Guo, I
I couldn't help but shed tears. Xiao Longnu's unwillingness made me feel very scared. Things are impermanent. The happier you are, the more scared you will be. You are afraid of losing everything, and you are afraid that your dream will suddenly be broken."
Li Qi knew what she was referring to and smiled: "You are afraid because you now understand that the world is full of helplessness and powerlessness. However, there is no need to be afraid. Even if our plan fails, it is God's will, love and
Happiness exists beyond life and death. No matter life or death, they will always be there and no one can change it. Do you know what I hate most in life?"
Bai Qiannuo pondered for a moment and said, "I regret it."
Li Qi nodded and said: "I never regret, even if I do something wrong, I will try my best to make up for it, because regret can't solve any problems, and I will not regret every step of my pursuit of happiness, no matter what the result will be. In this case
, then there is nothing to be afraid of, because the process of pursuing happiness is inherently romantic, just like my pursuit of you. The only thing we have to do is enjoy it."
Bai Qiannuo was startled when he heard this, and said: "Husband, I have known you for so long. From the beginning you were just an unknown chef. Now you are a very popular minister, no matter whether you succeed or fail. It seems that you have never been
There is no lack of confidence.”
Li Qi chuckled: "This is very simple, because confidence does not require money to buy."
Bai Qiannuo chuckled and said, "Are you short of money now?"
"but---."
As soon as Li Qi opened his mouth, Bai Qiannuo imitated his tone and said, "But you know, a businessman's pursuit of money is endless."
Li Qi laughed loudly and said: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Qiniang is the one who knows me."
Is Li Qi really not afraid of losing?
Of course not, he was actually the most afraid, but it was precisely because of this fear that he was able to achieve such success, because fear did not make him shrink back, but made him work harder, be cautious, and take every step forward.
Li Qi comforted him again: "Besides, isn't everything going as we expected? It's the other party who should be pessimistic, not us."
"I was quite confident before, but since I met you and Qin Hui, my husband, I don't know why I have become so unsure." Bai Qiannuo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "As you expected, Qin Hui did not refuse.
I sent the list, and I heard that the Ministry of Civil Affairs also accepted the staff transfer opinion of the Second House."
Li Qidao: "He is a smart man and would not do such stupid things."
"But there is one thing you may not have expected." Bai Qiannuo said: "Qin Hui's wife recently bought some workshops and seems to be planning to start a business."
"Yeah?"
Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "He is jealous of me. Only by integrating government and business can we be invincible. In fact, with Qin Hui's intelligence, he will not lose money in business, but I don't know how much he can make."
"
Bai Qiannuo said: "How high his business talent will be depends on it later, but his vision is very unique. Since the Legislative Yuan promulgated the Women's Protection Law, many singing prostitutes have regained their freedom, but the singing prostitutes have regained their freedom.
Prostitutes also have to make a living, and Qin Hui and the four small groups are eyeing this. As far as I know, Qin Hui and Zhang Chun'er have become very close recently, and they seem to be planning to open a restaurant together."
"Zhang Chuner?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "If the two of them join forces, they shouldn't be underestimated."
Bai Qiannuo asked curiously: "Didn't the grudge between you and Zhang Chun'er be resolved after the last competition? Why is she still going against you?"
Li Qi shook his head and said confidently: "Actually, whether it is cooking or business, what qualifications does Zhang Chun'er have to oppose me? I won't go into details. Just rely on glass. Even if I give her a hundred years, she won't be able to catch up.
.”
Bai Qiannuo said: "Then why did she do it?"
"Make money!"
Li Qi chuckled: "Businessmen only have one purpose in doing things, which is to make money. The other is the grudge between Jinlou and Fan Lou. Fan Shaobai always believed that Mr. Fan's death was caused by Zhang Chun'er. This knot is easy to untie, and Jinlou, Fan
The building is so close, conflicts are unavoidable. The fourth young master and I have a lot of cooperation, and it is difficult for Zhang Chuner to get in the way.
But this woman is very ambitious. There are not many people in the world who can trick Wanyan Zongwang, but she is definitely one of them. During the battle between Song and Jin Dynasties, Zhang Chuner swallowed up all the money Wanyan Zongwang gave her for no reason.
The money was not small, and she also helped me catch all the agents Wanyan Zongwang sent here. She is very similar to Cai Minde, both are very ambitious businessmen.
If she can cooperate with the current young master, it will be even more powerful. As for Qin Hui, he has been with me for so long and understands that corruption is not the only way for officials to get rich. Under the rule of the current emperor,
Corruption is a very stupid decision, but you can't live without money, because power is inseparable from money, so doing business is undoubtedly the best choice, so the two of them joined forces, each with their own needs, from a business perspective
Go check it out, it’s definitely a perfect collaboration.”
Bai Qiannuo heard his tone full of approval and said, "You seem to have forgotten that the person you are praising now is our opponent."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Whether it is politics or business, there are no absolute enemies. Don't forget that a few years ago, Qin Hui and I had a very harmonious relationship. But who could have imagined that today we
They are incompatible with each other and are fighting openly and secretly. By the same token, no one can predict what the situation will be like in a few years."
Bai Qiannuo said: "Husband, you seem to have always admired Qin Hui."
Li Qi sighed: "I can deceive the sky, but I cannot deceive myself. Qin Hui is indeed very capable, especially in politics. This has been proven by countless facts."
Bai Qiannuo said: "You said Zhang Chun'er is ambitious, but Zhang Chun'er's ambition is nothing compared to Qin Hui's."
"yes."
Li Qi said meaningfully: "But I just like ambitious people. Those who have desires will have weaknesses. It is the kind of people who have no desires or desires that are more troublesome."
"But husband, aren't you afraid of the dangers of raising a tiger?"
“Raising tigers brings disaster?”
Li Qi smiled contemptuously and said: "This is just an excuse made by losers for their own failure. This sentence will never come from the mouth of a successful person." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and more updated. quick!
