The Li family's big house is located in Pingdingshan, Xiangjiang.
This is a well-known wealthy area in Xiangjiang, where countless celebrities, high-ranking officials, top tycoons, etc. live together. Living here not only represents wealth, but also a symbol of identity and status.
When the Li family's big house gradually came into view, Lin Hao realized that the so-called big house was not the kind of old-story house commonly seen in Yangcheng, but a villa that combined Chinese and Western styles!
The villa is located on the mountainside. It is not generally large and occupies almost the entire mountainside.
This location used to be steep and upward, and there were extremely hard rocks under the shallow vegetation. It was not suitable for a house at all, but Li Hui believed in Feng Shui, and Mr. Feng Shui insisted that this place was a dragon vein, surrounded by mountains and water, hiding the wind.
Gathering Qi is completely in line with the Feng Shui pattern of Ji Zhai.
Therefore, Li Hui bought this land with all kinds of money, and then spent a huge amount of money on manual excavation. After digging out layers of rocks, he made a foundation. It took nearly five years to finally build this house.
Super large villa.
The villa covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, with an indoor area of more than 3,000 square meters. There are eight halls and more than 40 rooms in the main building, and two guest rooms on the side, including seven presidential suites, offices, and stables.
, tennis court, outdoor swimming pool, bowling room, indoor squash room, private cinema, library, underground parking garage, storage room, wine cellar...etc., etc., anyway, there is no most complete, only more complete. There is no most luxurious, only more complete.
More luxury.
When we reached the fork in the road entering the villa, we saw a cool BMW i8 coming from the opposite direction. From a distance, the other party honked its horn.
Li Bing took a look at the license plate and asked, "Isn't that Xu Mingjun's car?"
Li Zifeng nodded and said: "It is indeed his car!"
Li Bing said dullly: "Why is he here? Did grandpa invite him?"
"I don't know! Grandpa said he wouldn't invite anyone else if he didn't want to celebrate!" Li Zifeng shook his head blankly, and after thinking about it he was not sure and said: "But... maybe it was my dad who invited me."
Li Bing frowned: "What did the second uncle ask him to do?"
Li Zifeng explained: "In the past few years, the Xu family has cooperated very closely with us, especially the e-commerce area that Xu Mingjun is now in charge of. It has been very impressive, replacing many traditional industries, and has also made a lot of money for our family.
!”
Li Bing said: "He makes money for our family, and he comes to celebrate grandpa's birthday with him. Is there any relationship between the two?"
Li Zifeng glanced at Lin Hao and hesitated to speak.
Li Hui, the old man of the Li family, is undoubtedly very optimistic about Lin Hao. In addition to Lin Hao's ability, the bigger reason is that Li Bing likes him. But Li Chen undoubtedly admires Xu Mingjun more.
Although Xu Mingjun does not know martial arts or medical skills, he is a business wizard and has a strong family background. He is a close match with the Li family. If the two families can marry, it will undoubtedly be a strong alliance.
It's just that it's hard for Li Zifeng to talk about these things. Neither Li Bing nor Lin Hao can afford to offend him. So in the end he could only say: "I don't know either!"
The Bentley drove into the Li family villa. Before it came to a complete stop, Xu Mingjun, who arrived first, had already greeted him.
Xu Mingjun was about twenty-four or five years old. He was handsome, tall, and looked very talented. His dress was fashionable but not exaggerated. He was steady and decent. He showed his demeanor as a member of a noble family. When he came up to him, he greeted him with a smile: "Zifeng, Bing'er,
Hello."
Li Bing remained as indifferent as ever and nodded inaudibly as an agreement.
Li Zifeng smiled and said: "Brother Jun, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing?"
"Not bad, not bad!" Xu Mingjun nodded, then looked at Lin Hao and Leng Yuehan and said, "These two are..."
Li Zifeng then introduced: "This is Cousin Han..."
Before he could finish the introduction, Li Bing suddenly opened his mouth and said: "This is Lin Hao, my boyfriend!"
Xu Mingjun was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Lin Hao again, his eyes changed from gentle to unkind.
But after a closer look, he had to admit that in terms of appearance alone, he was indeed worse than this Lin Hao, and more than a little worse.
The clothes Lin Hao wore were far less high-end than the clothes he had tailor-made and designed by a famous Italian teacher. They seemed to be just processed products bought on Taobao, but even then, they did not diminish his temperament at all. The black trousers were tightly wrapped
His long legs were stretched out, and his slightly open suit exposed the snow-white shirt underneath, making his slender figure even more masculine.
The fair face is inlaid with beautiful and exquisite facial features, a pair of overly clear eyes under the thick black eyebrows, a handsome nose, and a slightly upturned mouth with a smile that is not a smile, making people feel more friendly.
.
At this time, a slight breeze passed by, blowing his black jade-like hair and his open suit, revealing his muscular back tightly wrapped in his shirt, making him look so elegant and beautiful.
.
But soon, Xu Mingjun found a balance again. In this era, face is important, but what is more important is ability and background. Without these, no matter how good-looking you are, it is useless. In a business group like his, good-looking employees are not counted.
There are quite a few people who are better looking than Lin Hao, but so what? Do you still have to work for him?
Seeing Xu Mingjun's gloomy and repetitive expression as he stared at him, Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly, what kind of hatred could this Li Bing bring to him?
Li Zifeng saw that the situation was a little awkward, so he smoothed things over and said, "Lin Hao, let me introduce to you. This is Xu Mingjun, the eldest son of the Xu family. He is a family friend and neighbor of ours. The U-shaped villa we just passed by is
This is his home!”
"Hello, Mr. Xu!" Lin Hao cupped his hands and greeted politely.
"Hello!" Xu Mingjun responded lightly, but the hostility in his eyes was very obvious!
Seeing him like this, Lin Hao really wanted to tell him that Li Bing and I are just ordinary friends, and I'm just a foil. You really don't have to treat me as a love rival. And I'm a very friendly person, and I like to trick dudes the most.
The eldest young master... no, he likes to make friends with the children of rich families the most! But seeing that they are so repulsive, he has no choice but to give it up.
At this time, Uncle Fu, the chief butler of the Li family, had already come out with his servants and led several people inside.
Walking through the private parking lot and walking into this super large villa that integrates Chinese and Western cultures, Lin Hao's eyes were opened very much. It was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, watching one scene after another dizzyingly, and at the same time appraising the sceneries in front of her.
However, at the end of the calculation, he felt very bitter, because the wealth he currently possessed could not even build the luxurious door of the Li family.
Seeing Lin Hao constantly looking here and touching there, Xu Mingjun was very disdainful. At first glance, he looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. He had nothing but good looks. How could he be worthy of being Li Bing's boyfriend?
Li Hui was very happy to see Lin Hao, Li Bing, and Li Zifeng. However, when he saw Xu Mingjun, he was slightly startled, and then turned to look at Li Chen.
Seeing his father's questioning look, Li Chen was about to explain when Xu Mingjun hurriedly said: "Grandpa Li, it's like this. When I was talking about things with Li Shibo yesterday, I accidentally learned that today is your birthday. I thought about you.
On my birthday, even if there is no banquet, there will still be delicious food, so I shamelessly come to enjoy the meal."
This wisecrack was just right! If he wanted to come to celebrate his birthday, Li Hui might not be happy, but if he wanted to come to have a meal, Li Hui had no reason to refuse. The Li and Guo families are neighbors and family friends, and they have established a cooperative relationship in the past few years.
Later, the exchanges were particularly frequent, so he smiled and said: "Haha, you are a clever little ghost. It would be great if there were more like you in the Xu family."
"Grandpa Li, don't worry, I won't waste your meal in vain." Xu Mingjun held a beautiful sandalwood box in his hands and handed it to him: "This is my meal money!"
Li Hui frowned and said, "Come here as soon as you come, bring anything with you!"
Xu Mingjun opened the box and said, "It's not something expensive, just a little thought from me! Please give me Grandpa Li Jin Xiaona!"
Everyone looked up at the box and found a ginseng with complete roots inside. Li Chen said with some surprise: "Is this a wild ginseng? Judging from the appearance, it must be several years old!"
Xu Mingjun said proudly: "Li Shibo has good eyesight. This is indeed wild ginseng. It comes from Changbai Mountain and is thirty years old. It is a special-grade wild ginseng. The qualification test certificate is below."
Lin Hao stepped forward to take a look, couldn't help but curl his lips, and then looked away without interest.
When Xu Mingjun was feeling proud, he saw this expression on Lin Hao's face, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. You country bumpkin, what are you pretending to be? Do you know what wild ginseng is? Have you seen it? What?
Even if you don’t understand, you dare to raise your eyebrows at me! But he pretended to be calm and said: "Hey, Mr. Lin seems to have different views on this wild ginseng?"
"What do you think?" Lin Hao obviously positioned himself as a passerby. When he suddenly asked, he was a little caught off guard and shook his head and said, "I have no opinion!"
Xu Mingjun said reluctantly: "But I seemed to have seen you pouting just now!"
Lin Hao firmly denied: "No, you are definitely dazzled."
"Haha!" Li Hui laughed, "Lin Hao is a doctor, and he is particularly good at Chinese medicine. He must have researched wild ginseng, and it is not surprising that he has opinions."
Lin Hao hurriedly said: "Old man, I really don't have any opinion!"
Li Hui smiled again: "But I just saw you pouting!"
Lin Hao: "..."
Li Bing reached out and poked his waist, "Okay, stop pretending! Tell me!"
Lin Hao just wanted to have a meal today and ask some questions by the way. He didn't want to offend anyone. But as he is now, if he continues to push it, he will really be mistaken for being pretentious, so he had to say: "Excuse me, Mr. Xu, are you
How much did this ginseng cost?"
Xu Mingjun said calmly: "A friend transferred it to me and gave it a friendship price, so it's not much, maybe around 200,000!"
Lin Hao shook his head and curled his lips and said: "If it is really Changbai Mountain special grade wild ginseng that has been produced for thirty years, the price is not expensive. It can even be said to be a profit."
This time he curled his lips very obviously, and everyone present saw it.
Xu Mingjun said: "Since I have made a profit, why are you talking so much!"
Lin Hao did not answer him, but pointed to the ginseng: "The main root of ginseng is called the ginseng body, which is cylindrical or spindle-shaped. There are horizontal wrinkles on the top, called the reed head. There are sunken stem marks on it, also called the reed head.
Bowls usually appear once a year, just like the growth rings of trees! So if you want to know the age of a ginseng plant, you don’t need to ask an expert, just count it yourself!”
When Li Zifeng heard this, he stepped forward and carefully counted the reed bowls on it, "One, two, three, four... fifteen. Hey, that's not right. If it is more than thirty years old,
Shouldn't there be at least thirty?"
Faced with Li Zifeng's doubts, Xu Mingjun's face suddenly turned red and green, and he said in a daze: "The person who sold the ginseng to me clearly said it was for thirty years."
Li Bingbing snorted: "Do you need to ask? It's obvious that you have been tricked."
Xu Mingjun said: "But there is also a qualification test certificate!"
Li Bing said disdainfully: "Are you stupid? The ginseng can be fake, but the certificate can't be fake?"
Xu Mingjun said awkwardly: "This..."
Seeing that Xu Mingjun found it difficult to step down, Li Chen helped smooth things over and said, "Although this wild ginseng is not thirty years old, it looks like it is almost twenty years old. It should be worth a little money, right?"
Lin Hao nodded and said: "Well, it is indeed very valuable..."
When Xu Mingjun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Who would have thought that before Lin Hao finished speaking, he continued: "It's worth several thousand yuan!"
