"That's right, Uncle Long and my dad are friends." He Xiaomei said, looking at Pei Jiale with an arrogant look.
"Hmph..." Long Yixi looked at Pei Jiale, snorted disdainfully, and then said to He Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, let's go and ignore her."
"Well..." He Xiaomei nodded, and then left with Long Yixi.
Looking at the backs of Long Yixi and He Xiaomei, Pei Jiale had tears trembling in his eyes. At this time, there were jeers from around him.
"Haha, Pei Jiale, have you been bullied?"
"She deserves it. She still calls herself a wealthy lady every day. In front of Xiaomei, she is just a beggar."
"That's right. I heard that Xiaomei's father is very rich. My father wants to be friends with Xiaomei's father."
…
Listening to the discussions of the classmates around him, Pei Jiale couldn't hold it back and cried.
"Aww, He Xiaomei, I hate you." Pei Jiale cried loudly.
…
After school in the afternoon, Long Yixi went to the door of He Xiaomei's class. After waiting for He Xiaomei, the two walked out of the campus together.
When the driver of the Long family saw his young master and the little princess of the He family coming, he hurriedly got out of the car, opened the back door, and greeted respectfully, "Master, little princess He, please..."
The driver said, making a gesture of invitation, gesturing for the young master and the little princess of the He family to get on the bus.
"Xiaomei, you go up first, be careful when you meet." Long Yixi said to He Xiaomei.
"Well..." He Xiaomei responded, smiled at Long Yixi, and then got in the car.
Long Yixi saw He Xiaomei get in the car and sit down, so he also got in the car.
The driver drove in the direction of the Long family villa.
After He Zikai drove away from He Yi Building, he called his daughter while driving in the direction of Long's house.
"Hey, Dad, are you here?" He Xiaomei answered the phone and asked Dad.
"Not yet, on the way," He Zikai answered his daughter, and then asked, "Have you arrived at Long Yixi's house?"
"No, Long Yixi and I are on the road now." He Xiaomei replied to her father.
"Well, pay attention to safety. Dad will be here in twenty minutes." He Zikai said.
"Okay..."
Twenty minutes later, when He Zikai arrived at the Long family villa, He Xiaomei and Long Yixi also arrived.
He Xiaomei quickly ran to Dad's side, then took Dad's hand and walked into Long's house together.
"Mr. He, welcome." Long Chenghe went out to greet Mr. He and greeted him respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. He, I am He Mei." Long Chenghe's wife He Mei greeted He Zikai with a smile.
"Hello." He Zikai looked at He Mei and said, then looked at Long Chenghe and greeted politely, "Hello, Mayor Long."
Long Chenghe smiled and hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal He Zikai to sit down.
"Daddy, then you chat with Uncle Long, while Long Yixi and I go over there to play." He Xiaomei said to her dad obediently.
"Well..." He Zikai knew that the children only wanted to play, so he nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, He Zikai and Long Chenghe sat in the living room chatting. He Mei brought tea and fruit from time to time to entertain He Zikai.
"Mr. He, He Yi's stock seems to be trending very well recently," Long Chenghe said.
"It seems that Mayor Long is quite concerned about the dynamics of the business community." He Zikai's tone was always very indifferent, and his eyes looked at the two children playing not far away from time to time.
"Haha, the business community is also part of the economy of Sihanouk City. As the mayor, I naturally have to pay more attention to it." Long Chenghe replied.
"Yes." He Zikai nodded and said nothing else.
"Mr. He," Long Chenghe called him affectionately, and then he said in a somewhat fluent voice, "I heard that every project of He Yi is very profitable. Do you think... can our Long family get in on it?
"
Hearing Long Chenghe's words, He Zikai naturally knew what he meant. He smiled softly, looked at Long Chenghe and said, "Mayor Long, as far as I know, you are a person in the political world and you don't seem to be suitable to participate in business affairs.
Bar?"
Hearing what He Zikai said, Long Chenghe suddenly lost his temper, but he still held on and said with a smile, "Yes, my identity is indeed inappropriate, but there are some things that not many people can do in private."
You know, it’s okay.”
When He Zikai listened to Long Chenghe's words, he felt that this man... was too greedy. He even ignored his own reputation and the law for the sake of profit.
He Zikai did not intend to continue this topic and changed the topic, "Mayor Long, the relationship between our city and Linshi has been relatively deadlocked recently. What do you think about it?"
After hearing that He Zikai was discussing political affairs, Long Chenghe understood He Zikai's transfer and could only answer He Zikai's questions.
"I discussed it with other leaders and we decided..." Long Chenghe said with a smile on his face.
During dinner, the three members of the Long family and He Zikai and his daughter sat together to eat. Everyone ate quietly during the meal, with few people talking.
After dinner, Long Chenghe originally wanted to chat with He Zikai some more, trying to bring up the topic of business and get some promises of benefits from He Zikai, but before Long Chenghe could express his thoughts, He Zikai spoke first.
Said he was leaving.
In the end, Long Chenghe had no choice but to send He Zikai and his daughter away, keeping what he wanted to say in his heart.
Watching He Zikai's car leave, He Mei said to Long Chenghe, "Chenghe, our goal today has not been achieved."
"There will be another chance next time, don't worry," Long Chenghe said, "Yixi and Xiaomei have been going to school together for a long time. There will be plenty of time and opportunities in the future. We can just invite Mr. He to our home for dinner.
Already."
"Hmm..." He Mei nodded, thinking about it.
By Lishui Bay, after dinner, Cheng Nuo accompanied his two children in the living room while waiting for He Zikai and his daughter to come back.
After a long time, Cheng Nuo heard movement at the door. When he turned around and looked, he saw He Zikai walking in holding his daughter's hand.
"Cheng Xiaonuo, I'm back." He Xiaomei said happily, quickly ran to her mother, hugged her, and then went to accompany her younger siblings.
Cheng Nuo saw his daughter accompanying his younger siblings. He turned around to look at He Zikai and asked, "How are you having dinner at Long's house tonight?"
He Zikai walked up to Cheng Nuo, stretched out his hand to take the little woman into his arms, looked into Cheng Nuo's eyes, and then answered her, "Well, it's good. The Long family entertained her well."
The Long family did entertain them well today, but it was just because they had a purpose. Long Chenghe and his wife did this, and they knew exactly why.
"Hmm..." Cheng Nuo nodded, knowing that he couldn't ask more questions in front of the child.
The family sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Cheng Nuo asked Bai Jing to take Xiao Mei upstairs to rest. He held Xiao Lichen and He Zikai held Xiao Xi and went upstairs to rest.
In the master bedroom, He Zikai and Cheng Nuo stayed by the crib. After watching the two children fall asleep, He Zikai took Cheng Nuo's hand and went to the balcony.
The two stood on the balcony, looking at the scenery in front of them. He Zikai said to Cheng Nuo, "Nuo'er, I'm really worried about the friendship between Xiaomei and Long Yixi..." (To be continued)
