The two families entered the hotel together and asked the front desk clerk to arrange a private room. The two families went in and sat down.
The waiter who came in later handed Xia Zekai a menu that looked like a crystal album. Xia Zekai didn't even look at it. He first handed the menu to today's protagonist, Li Hope, and said, "Hope, you are the protagonist today. Take a look and see what you want to eat." , don’t be polite to me, just be casual.”
Li Hope felt embarrassed. He took the menu and was a little at a loss. Li Mumu saw his son's unnatural expression and then said: "Son, please order two dishes."
After he finished speaking, he heard his son Li Hope say: "Dad, I don't know what Uncle Kai and Aunt Kai want to eat."
After Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun heard this, they felt very comfortable. They thought that this child was quite well-educated.
Xia Zekai looked at him and felt more and more pleased with him: "I hope that Uncle Kai will give you a chance today to pick out the most expensive food you like. There is no such shop after this village."
In the end, Li Hope only ordered two medium-priced dishes. Looking at those four-digit delicacies, he really couldn't put down his hands. He wondered who would order those dishes?
Could it be that it is really delicious?
After Huang Shuangshuang also ordered two dishes, Luo Xiyun took the menu and skillfully added a few dishes, making a total of ten dishes.
"Uncle Kai, Auntie, you ordered too much. It's a waste if you can't eat it." Li Hope said.
This suddenly made Xia Zekai have a better impression of him.
The next moment, he waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you tried your best to eat today, but if you really can't eat it, Uncle Kai will pack it up and take it home to eat."
After Li Hope heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. This was different from the rich people he imagined in his head.
His father's boss Xia Zekai is so rich, why should he still pack it up?
This made him feel incredible...
Xia Zekai didn't give him time to think, and asked him: "Hope, I heard from your dad that your test scores are very good this time, and you have already applied for Fudan University?"
"Yes, I checked the application scores from previous years. With a score of over 650, you can get into Fudan University. It would be a bit difficult to apply for Tsinghua University and Peking University. I'd better play it safe," said Li Hope.
Xia Zekai nodded and asked him: "Tell your two little sisters how you usually study. Let them learn from you. I don't ask for more. If they can learn your three skills, If you divide your skills, you might be able to get into a better university in the future."
Li Hope was amused, and Li Mumu was so happy that she almost spit out the water from her mouth.
Several people are thinking about Yatou and Tongtong. They are still more than ten years away from the college entrance examination. What can they remember if I tell them the tips for the college entrance examination now?
Luo Xiyun also said to him: "Zekai, you are really fooling around."
Xia Zekai was unconvinced and said, "How can this be nonsense? I'm letting Yatou and Tongtong experience the cruelty of the college entrance examination in advance!"
The waiter brought the dishes one after another. Xia Zekai also opened the wine he brought and asked Li Hope: "Hope, do you want to drink?"
Before Li Hope could speak, Xia Zekai added: "You are going to college soon, which means you have entered society early. Why don't you have a drink today to exercise your drinking capacity in advance."
Li Hope subconsciously looked at his mother, preparing to ask for her opinion.
Huang Shuangshuang laughed and cursed and said, "Drink some, and drink less with your Uncle Kai."
The fact is that when her son was at home, he would occasionally drink a bottle of beer with his father, Li Mumu.
When Xia Zekai heard this, he gave him half a cup and said, "I'll just pour you this half cup. Drink it slowly later. Don't be in a hurry."
Listen to Li Hope talk about his learning experience.
Only then did Xia Zekai know that when Li Hope first entered high school, his studies were not very good and he was in the middle position. But as Li Mumu did better and better at Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., his position became higher and higher, and his salary increased.
Many years later, the life at home has been fundamentally changed, and Li hopes that his mental state has also changed a lot. He has become more positive and likes to study more...
The change in mentality also gave Li Hope a second transformation in his academic career. Since then, his academic performance has improved by leaps and bounds.
In addition, his father's income has doubled than before, so he enrolled him in many cram schools and study classes. In order to make up for his missed homework in a certain subject, he also hired professional teachers to make up for him one-on-one.
.
In this way, Li Hope's performance was far behind the top students, but he managed to catch up. He also performed exceptionally well in this year's college entrance examination, scoring a high score of 676 points.
Xia Zekai nodded. Psychological maturity and transformation do make it easier for people to learn by leaps and bounds. However, Li Mumu spent a lot of money to enroll in cram schools, study classes, and hired professional teachers to give him one-on-one tutoring.
Neither can be ignored.
If the basics are not good, I have to rely on a lot of money to get it together.
Li Hope said something that made him very proud: "Uncle Kai, I answered a lot of questions before the college entrance examination. During the exam, I found that three math questions were all questions I had answered. Even the data has not changed. This is my
Get points!"
Xia Zekai said: "That's also your ability. Why can you encounter these problems but others can't? It means you still work hard. Others just want to pick up ready-made food, but they don't know. If you don't work hard,
, there are so many good things that fall from the sky."
Rice cake
Li Mumu also agreed with Xia Zekai's words. He felt that his son had indeed worked very hard in the past three years, otherwise he would not have achieved a high score of 676 points.
Luo Xiyun and Huang Shuangshuang got along very well. They exchanged views on their children's education. Huang Shuangshuang didn't have any profound knowledge, so she just talked about what she had to say without hiding it.
Don't expect her to tell you any big truths, but Huang Shuangshuang also specifically said that she is very strict with her son, especially when it comes to his time management, and she will never give in.
This evening, Xia Zekai and Li Mumu did not discuss the company or work. The core of their discussion always revolved around children and education.
Li Hope would occasionally express a few opinions from his perspective, and Xia Zekai and the others listened carefully. Although these opinions were ideal and seemed very immature, they were ultimately the valuable opinions of the parties involved.
When the two families separated, Li Mumu and his family of three directly hailed a taxi to go to Jincheng Garden. Only then did Xia Zekai know that Lao Li had moved there.
He also said to Li Mumu: "Old Li, you have moved to a new house and you haven't even told me. Remember, you owe me a meal."
"Boss, it depends on your time, I'll do it anytime." Li Mumu said with a smile.
When they were about to get in the car and leave, Luo Xiyun remembered something and asked them to wait. Luo Xiyun called Wang Yi to bring over the mobile phone that Xia Zekai just bought. She said: "I hope, this is what your Uncle Kai bought for you."
, take it, you can use it when you go to university."
"..." Li Hope didn't take it directly. He looked at his father first, and when he saw his father nodded, he took the phone and kept saying: "Thank you, Uncle Kai, thank you Auntie."
…
After returning from Century Hotel, my parents and grandpa had already rested.
Luo Xiyun took Yatou and Tongtong to take a bath first.
Xia Zekai lay alone on a wicker chair in the yard for a while, lying on his back and looking at the starry night sky. His mind became empty. He didn't know what he was thinking about.
The ringtone of the cell phone broke this moment of tranquility.
Xia Zekai was a little irritated and wanted to throw the phone away, but when he saw the name 'Sun Xu' floating on the screen of the phone, he still connected.
"Brother Sun, it's already this time. You don't want to ask me out for supper, do you?" Xia Zekai teased him.
Sun Xu said with a smile: "Brother Xia wants to eat, I can arrange it at any time."
Xia Zekai said: "Forget it, I just finished eating, and I don't want to gain two pounds of pork belly in one night."
"Brother Sun, tell me, what do you want from me?" Xia Zekai asked him, and then added: "Let's talk about it first, I've really become a pauper recently, as long as it's not a loan, everything else is easy to talk about.
"
Sun Xu did not think that Xia Zekai was joking on purpose. He also asked: "Brother Xia, are you really out of money? Do you want me to support you?"
"That's not necessary. I just transferred 20 million from the company with taxes." Xia Zekai looked heartbroken.
He said: "The initial investment was too heavy and left no escape route for myself."
When Sun Xu heard what he said, he was very moved.
He knew that Xia Zekai originally had a large amount of cash in his hand, but in order to help Kelan Chemical overcome the financial difficulties, he finally invested the money in Kelan Chemical.
"Brother Xia, I'm looking for you this time to give you money." Sun Xu said.
Before Xia Zekai could figure it out, he asked: "Brother Sun, what money do you want to give me?"
"Dividends. According to the rules of previous years, Kelan Chemical will pay dividends once every July. I'm calling you just to tell you that I'm going to come and attend the shareholders' meeting."
When he said this, Xia Ze remembered that yesterday he heard his second brother talk about the 'rumor' that Kelan Chemical would pay dividends recently.
Unexpectedly, only one day passed before Sun Xu called himself to convene a shareholders' meeting.
"Brother Sun, when will it open?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Sun Xu said: "The plan is to hold it on July 6, the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, for auspicious reasons."
After Xia Zekai recited it twice silently in his mind, he remembered the time.
He said to Sun Xu: "Brother Sun, don't worry, I will definitely go when the time comes."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zekai was thinking about Kelan Chemical's dividends. He thought that Kelan Chemical seemed to be really rich now. It even paid dividends so actively. I'm afraid it has made a lot of money in the past few months!
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Luo Xiyun shouting from upstairs: "Zekai, you're not sleeping yet."
"Right away!" Xia Zekai stood up and walked towards the villa.
