The terrace on the second floor was dimly lit. Li Xuexuan, who had just returned from Hong Kong, was wearing a set of plain white home clothes and a windbreaker. She was standing alone on the terrace, holding on to the solid wood railing with her left hand and her right hand.
Holding a glass of her favorite Bordeaux red wine, she looked out at the car carrying Shi Zhijian slowly approaching.
"Miss, the guests have arrived, and I want you to go down and have dinner with us..." Behind her, the pretty-faced young maid A-Zhu, with a light body, said to her.
Ah Chu is not a Thai, nor is she an ordinary servant, but Lee Seol-hyun's playmate who has been with her since childhood.
When Li Yaozu was ostracized by his brother Li Yaozong and his clan members and was forced to come to Thailand, Ah Zhu also followed him. It can be said that Ah Zhu has experienced the same joys and sorrows with the Li family father and daughter. Many times, Li Xuexuan even
She treats her like a biological sister.
Ah Zhu's status in the Li family is also quite special. In addition to Li Xuexuan treating her as a biological sister, Li Yaozu almost wanted to recognize her as his goddaughter, but was rejected by Ah Zhu. She believed that she was from a humble background and was originally sold to
How can a person who benefits the family and becomes a servant be greedy again?
Therefore, Ah Zhu has always been a special being in the Li family. Not to mention that the old housekeeper, Uncle Rong, treats her differently, and other servants and servants also know that she has a different identity.
Ah Zhu is also very motivated. In addition to helping the family with some housework, he even works hard to learn English, French, Thai and other languages. He can replace Li Yaozu's female secretary to help handle some company affairs, so he is also favored by everyone in the Li Group.
Secretly called the Li family's "Shangguan Wan'er"!
Hearing Azhu's voice, Li Xuexuan turned to Azhu and smiled: "Do you think I should go down to see him?"
Li Xuexuan regarded Ah Zhu as a "good best friend", so she also told Ah Zhu about her and Shi Zhijian's affairs. It can be said that now Ah Zhu is the only person besides Li Xuexuan who knows Shi Zhijian's true identity.
"If you hadn't seen him, you wouldn't have stayed here drinking alone." Ah Zhu held her hair with her hands, then turned and walked to the mini bar, poured herself a glass of red wine, and then walked back to the terrace to meet Li
Seolhyun stood side by side on the terrace, looking at Shi Zhijian, who was getting out of the car and dressed in white: "He is really handsome. Even from such a distance, I can feel how good and outstanding he is! In addition, I
Through your story, I also know that he is better and more ambitious than any young talent. Men with ambitions are scary. This is what you told me, Miss, but now you have forgotten it."
"That's true." Li Xuexuan turned her face sideways and said to her best friend with a melancholy expression: "Sometimes women are born with the biggest flaw and cannot be emotional - no matter how smart you are to talk to women, as long as you are emotional
You will become a fool!"
"But aren't you really stupid? At least you have a successful career in Hong Kong now and can be in charge of the Li family alone. Even the master is proud of you!" Ah Zhu blinked and asked Li Xuexuan.
Li Xuexuan turned his gaze to the dark distance again: "That's because he helped me——" After saying that, he looked at Shi Zhijian who had already walked to the door of the hall and looked down at him.
"No, no one in this world can help you. The only person who can help you is yourself. The reason why you think that way is just because you succumbed to his power and subconsciously regarded him as a almsgiver." Azhu took a sip of red wine.
: "I'm sorry, miss! Maybe it's a bit bold to say this, but I really want to tell you that although you have achieved success, a lot of your previous vigor has been worn away."
"What advice do you want to give me? Ignore him? Continue to treat him as an enemy? Or find another man to replace him?" Li Xuexuan smiled lightly.
Azhu said seriously: "Actually, it's very simple. If you want to continue to be successful in your career and surpass him, then give up on him and treat your career as your boyfriend and your lifelong partner. This generation only works hard to be strong."
!On the contrary, that is to marry him, convert all the money you lost to him into a diamond ring and wear it on your hand, and then give him a son, and let him work for you, your precious son, for the rest of his life! In the end,
The winner is always you!"
Li Xuexuan smiled and looked at the best friend in front of him who gave him "sexy ideas", "But he already has three wives----"
Azhu smiled: "Miss, you are a smart woman and you should understand the truth. It is impossible for an excellent man to be captured by one woman or two or three women. In this case, why do you need to join this interesting competition game?"
At the end, Azhu held the wine glass and looked into the distance: "Miss, you also know that I don't study as much as you do, and I don't know as many principles as you do, but there is one sentence that I know very well - men conquer the world, but women
Then you can conquer men!"
…
"Mr. Shi, please sit down." Uncle Rong, the old housekeeper of Li Mansion, invited Shi Zhijian into the hall with a smile on his face.
The driver A Liang followed behind, holding a bag of things in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he also followed into the house.
In the hall, Li Yaozu, who was dressed in silk casual clothes, looked at Shi Zhijian walking towards him with a smile and his hands behind his back, "Ajian, hello!"
"Hello, Mr. Li!" Shi Zhijian winked behind him.
A Liang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Mr. Li, this is what Mr. Shi bought for you... the barbecued pork buns!" But he was secretly crying out that he was unlucky. How could it be the first time in this world for him to come to someone's house and give them barbecued pork buns as a gift? And it's still the same.
Those defective products that were burnt at the roadside stall only cost three yuan in total! It’s a pity that I am a good driver, but I acted as Shi Zhijian’s “accomplice”, how shameful!
Unexpectedly-----
"Oh, barbecued pork buns?" Li Yaozu was stunned for a moment, and surprisingly said to A Liang, give it to me to try!
"Huh?" Aliang was confused.
Only the old housekeeper, Uncle Rong, looked at Shi Zhijian with a surprised expression. He had followed Li Yaozu for so long and knew Li Yaozu's food preferences. In fact, he loved eating barbecued pork buns the most, but due to his status, he rarely bought these things on the street.
, so few people know about it, and A Liang is even less aware of it. On the contrary, Mr. Shi hit Li Yaozu's pulse on his first visit, which was even more accurate than that of an old Chinese doctor!
Uncle Rong didn't know that Shi Zhijian, in order to be the cheap son-in-law in Hong Kong, had learned from Li Xuexuan many of his father-in-law's hobbies, including this "barbecued pork bun"! And the important thing is that this barbecued pork bun must also be
It's going to be burnt!
Li Yaozu has a strong taste. He once told his daughter Li Xuexuan that the barbecued pork buns only have a different flavor and become crispier when they are burnt!
At this moment, Aliang took out the burnt barbecued pork buns. When he thought that Li Yaozu would frown after seeing it, he saw that Li Yaozu was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy, and he didn't care about anyone around him.
Looking at it, I actually stretched out my hand, pinched one and tasted it.
His move made the servants around him surprised, wondering if they had seen it wrong.
"Yes, it tastes good! Ah Jian, your gift is very good! Hahaha!" Li Yaozu laughed heartily, but he also knew that his actions just now were a bit rude, so he immediately asked Ah Liang to put away the barbecued pork buns and ordered his daughter
Maid: "Excuse me, please help me prepare some tea." After that, he said to Uncle Rong: "Are the meals ready?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"When you're ready, we're just waiting for the dinner to begin."
"Okay!" Li Yaozu laughed and said to Shi Zhijian: "Let's go over and have a casual meal with me!" After saying that, he took Shi Zhijian's hand and walked towards the restaurant. This scene once again left everyone stunned.
In the restaurant, the tables are indeed full of "light meals", but these light meals are enough for an ordinary person to spend a month, such as roasted squab, braised fish, eight-treasure duck, etc., with a combination of meat and vegetables, complete in color, flavor and taste.
As for the fact that these delicacies were paired with Maotai liquor, Shi Zhijian was surprised and even wondered whether Li Yaozu had installed a bug in the car.
"What, you can't get used to drinking liquor?" Li Yaozu couldn't help but ask when he saw Shi Zhijian staring at Moutai.
"No, I like Moutai the most!"
"Really?" Li Yaozu was overjoyed, "I didn't expect that we have such similar hobbies in food!"
For Li Yaozu, he is from Hong Kong and usually drinks traditional liquor. However, many people in the Chinese area of Bangkok like to learn from Gui Lao what kind of foreign wine he drinks. In his opinion, those foreign wines are as bad as horse urine, or so.
This kind of high-quality liquor tastes good when you drink it.
What's more, Shi Zhijian's gift of "barbecued pork buns" just now was exactly what he wanted. Li Yaozu immediately regarded Shi Zhijian as a confidant and felt that this kid was very good.
"Come, sit down and eat first!" Li Yaozu asked Shi Zhijian to sit across from him.
As soon as Shi Zhijian sat down, Li Yaozu took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Shi Zhijian and handed it over.
Shi Zhijian hurriedly took it.
"Ajian, just think of this cup as an apology drink. Don't blame me!"
Shi Zhijian didn't expect the drama to come so soon, and immediately looked panicked: "What do you mean by Mr. Li's words?"
Li Yaozu sighed and poured himself a glass of wine before sitting down.
"The main reason why I didn't take action this time was because I didn't want our Li family to be at odds with the Xie family!" Li Yaozu said in a slow tone, "You also know that our Li family has developed too fast in the past few years, and the Xie family is in Bangkok.
Our old family usually has some friction, and if there is another conflict over this matter, the gains will outweigh the losses!"
"Besides, it was Ah Quan who caused the trouble this time, and he should be the one to solve the problem. Otherwise, even if I let him continue to sit in the general manager's seat, he will not be able to convince the public!"
After Li Yaozu finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip himself, then picked up a piece of lotus root and said, "As for you helping him and solving the matter so smoothly, I am impressed! To be honest, A Jian---
-" Li Yaozu raised his eyes and looked at Shi Zhijian, "I am very optimistic about you! You are a talent and you will have a bright future!"
"Mr. Lee complimented me. In fact, I was doing my duty by helping Brother Quan - Lee's Shipping Company is my family and we all love it!"
"Huh?" Li Yaozu was stunned by Shi Zhijian's witticism and almost choked on the lotus root slices in his mouth.
"I am a brick from Ricci. I can move it wherever it is needed!"
"Cough cough cough!" Li Yaozu was really choked this time.
Uncle Rong hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief.
Li Yaozu covered his mouth with a handkerchief and finally calmed down his cough.
Shi Zhijian didn't expect that the other party would react so strongly when he just casually said a few "classic quotes" from his previous life.
"Mr. Li, are you okay?"
"Ahem, it's okay!" Li Yaozu wiped his mouth with some embarrassment, then returned the handkerchief to the housekeeper, Uncle Rong, then straightened up and looked at Shi Zhijian seriously and said, "Ajian, these words of yours... are very... OK!"
"These are all from my heart!"
"Really?" Li Yaozu glanced at Shi Zhijian and said in his heart, I believe you! This kid is so slippery!
"As a boss, I feel very comforted that you can have such ideological awareness!" Li Yaozu pondered the words, "Especially this time when you have achieved such an achievement without being arrogant or arrogant, and you are full of... full of such sincere love for the company!"
Li Yaozu couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned around and asked Uncle Rong: "Where's the eldest lady? Why don't you come down yet?"
Uncle Rong hurriedly bowed and said: "I have asked Ah Zhu to inform her, and she may come down soon."
Li Yaozu nodded, then looked at Shi Zhijian with a smile: "Ajian, I will introduce someone to you later. She is my precious daughter Li Xuexuan. Maybe you have heard of her name, she has been here for the past few years. I am developing in Hong Kong and I have only been back for a few days!" After a pause, he said, "You are all young people, so you should have a common language."
When Shi Zhijian heard this, he couldn't help but wonder if he wanted to introduce his daughter to me so that we could date?
Shi Zhijian really guessed it right.
Li Yaozu had a very good impression of Shi Zhijian. Not only was he good-looking and good-looking, but he could also put on a good show. The most important thing was that he was very talented, which can be seen from this fight with the Xie family.
Most importantly, Li Yaozu heard that he was from Hong Kong and had no foundation in Thailand, which was very rare. Li Yaozu planned to give it a try and recruit Shi Zhijian as his "son-in-law" if possible!
Thumb thump!
The sound of high heels on the stairs.
Shi Zhijian followed the sound and saw the beautifully dressed Li Xuexuan coming down from the second floor. After seeing Shi Zhijian, their eyes touched lightly and they exchanged meaningful glances.
Little did Li Yaozu know that the man and woman in front of him had known each other for a long time. When he saw his daughter coming down, he immediately acted like a loving father, stood up and greeted: "Xuexuan, come here quickly, I will introduce you to an elite in the company."
Li Xuexuan walked to the dining table, glanced at Shi Zhijian, and then said to his father Li Yaozu: "We have known each other for a long time."
"Uh, when?" Li Yaozu was stunned.
"Young Master Gao went out with me last time and we met in the dance hall!"
"Oh, really?" Li Yaozu looked at Shi Zhijian and then at his daughter, "It seems like you two are quite destined!"
Shi Zhijian stretched out his hand: "Yes, we are quite destined! Miss Li, let's get to know Shi Zhijian again!"
"Lee Seol-hyun!"
The two shake hands.
Li Yaozu looked at the two men shaking hands and standing together, and felt that the man was talented and the woman was beautiful.
It would be pretty good if Shi Zhijian was recruited as a son-in-law.
Li Yaozu's mind started moving again.
"Everyone, sit down and eat together!"
"Miss Li, please!"
"Mr. Shi please!"
Shi Zhijian and Li Xuexuan are like a pair of most familiar strangers.
