Chapter 40: Aunt and the past
"Zhixi has returned to her room. I came to talk to you on her behalf."
Hearing what the other party said, Li Zhenyu looked carefully: "Jiang Zhiyuan?"
"You should call me aunt, no one taught you manners?"
Hearing her angry words, Li Zhenyu burst into laughter: "Whatever you want to say, just say it!"
"Li Zhenyu, Zhixi is afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you. You'd better..."
Li Zhenyu suddenly turned sideways, putting his face in front of her eyes, and the breath on the tip of his nose was mixed together.
The strong male hormones made Jiang Zhiyuan sluggish, her expression full of panic.
Satisfied, Li Zhenyu sat back and said with a faint smile: "Look, you are still afraid."
"..." Jiang Zhiyuan choked for a moment.
She had been preparing for a long time and wanted to say what she had been holding back.
However, the original target should be Li Qiu.
But she really didn't have the courage to face that man.
I am also worried that the other party will be angry with my little sister because of me.
I thought that the little brat I used to be would be easier to fool, but I didn't expect that he would be as domineering as that man.
"Hey, no matter what, I am also an elder, shouldn't you respect me more?"
"Sorry, aunt. Can we talk now?" Jiang Zhiyuan's perfunctory performance in coaxing the child made Jiang Zhiyuan even more angry.
But she still suppressed her personal emotions, everything was for the sake of her little sister.
"Your father has three women. The eldest lady is a legitimate mistress. Your mother is the luckiest. She is pregnant with you. She is the only male in the Li family. Only our family Zhixi has a miserable life..."
Li Zhenyu rested his chin on his hand and looked out the window. Li Zhenyu was not interested in the old memories she was talking about.
"No matter what, she is also your father's woman. To her..."
"So?" Li Zhenyu was a little annoyed by the endless chatter.
Turning to look at Jiang Zhiyuan who was interrupted and at a loss, Li Zhenyu sarcastically said: "Did I cause this?"
"If you really want to vent your anger on your sister, you should go find that man above instead of wasting time here."
It's not him, Li Zhenyu, who brought Jiang Zhixi to his current situation. Why are you telling him this!
Is it because he looks weaker than that man and easier to bully?
"You are the heir of the Li family. Of course Zhixi must care about what you think. She..."
"She doesn't need to care about what I think. She can just live her own life with beauty. No one will compete with her. Are you satisfied?"
Jiang Zhiyuan was overjoyed and a little surprised at the same time.
He is making a promise that he will guarantee his little sister's future life, and it will not change even if he inherits the Li family.
is that so? Jiang Zhiyuan was a little unbelievable.
"Um, is this a promise?" Jiang Zhiyuan asked cautiously.
"Even so!" Li Zhenyu frowned, why hasn't Chief An come over yet?
"Yes, it is, no..." Jiang Zhiyuan still wanted to get an accurate answer.
The next second, the cheek was pinched by a big hand, and the flaming red lips turned into a zero shape.
"My patience is limited. That man is not the only one who knows how to possess. Do you want to try?"
Seeing his aggressive and approaching face, Jiang Zhiyuan was frightened and hurriedly backed away.
He put his back firmly on the car door, turned around and pulled the handle, jumped out of the car, and jogged all the way into the auxiliary building.
After adjusting his somewhat messy suit, Li Zhenyu was finally able to think quietly about the problem.
When I came back this time, my performance was perfect.
However, the results were somewhat unsatisfactory and ran counter to what he wanted to achieve.
However, this way you don't have to worry about exposing yourself as a 'fake'.
As for Jiang Zhiyuan's desperate temptation, Li Zhenyu didn't take it to heart at all.
Someone will make her understand what rules to abide by in this family.
'I hope she won't be implicated, as that would make Xiumei sad. '
Li Zhenyu looked at the annex building. The window of the beautiful room was still lit.
Find some time and invite her to Seoul to relax.
If I remember correctly, the Rongchang Construction that Qian Jingtai mentioned should be the property of my uncle's family.
Originally, I wanted to talk to him, but now I'd better ask Director An to convey it.
Finally, the subprime crisis...
If he still doesn't take it seriously, Li Zhenyu won't do anything else.
Anyway, whether he makes arrangements or not, this debt will be settled on his head.
Who would believe that a good-for-nothing son who has been away from home for five years and works in a menial job can see through the crisis behind prosperity and gain huge profits as a result.
Everyone will think that they will blame this matter on him.
I am just a puppet pushed to the stage by that man.
He has to shoulder this responsibility whether he wants it or not.
The difference is only active and passive, which is really difficult for Lao Qiu.
"President, Chief An is here."
"Come up here, let's talk."
On the top floor of the main building, Li Qiu stood in front of the study window and stared at the car next to the fountain turntable.
Chief An sat in the car for five minutes. What on earth were the two talking about?
Ring, the phone on the table rang.
"Hello, I'm Li Qiu."
"President, I have something to report to you."
"I don't want to hear it, you can figure it out yourself!"
Director An had no choice but to smile bitterly, glanced at Li Zhenyu who turned his head to the other side, and said to himself, 'This father and son are too torturous. '
"I'm afraid I have to tell you about this matter. I can't make the decision."
Li Qiu did not speak. As a close confidant, Chief An understood that this was the last stubbornness of the president.
"Master Zhenyu would like to ask you to come forward and warn Rongchang Construction about the Angel Garden.
"If he doesn't want to come forward, I will go talk to my aunt in person. If there is any unpleasantness, please don't interfere."
"..." Director An became even more depressed, wondering whether he should get out of the car and report.
It's obviously only up and down the stairs, so why does he have to be the microphone?
"Please don't interrupt me." Director An expressed his position to him, always giving the president a step back.
Otherwise, this conversation will be aborted again.
"In addition, regarding the subprime mortgage crisis, the young master mentioned some details, and I will ask the secretary's office to focus on them."
Regarding Rongchang Construction, Director An had reported all the details before he came.
Before Li Zhenyu even found President Qian, he already had all the information.
Li's attention to him never stopped.
"that is it."
Li Qiu's answer was concise and clear, as if he didn't care about these trivial matters at all.
But Chief An could still tell from his tone that he was different from the past.
"Master, the president has understood your thoughts. Is there anything else you need to convey?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Qiu, who was holding the phone, was waiting expectantly.
"Don't die too early, otherwise the Li family will fall into the hands of incompetent descendants like me. I can't guarantee what will happen to his woman, so you can get out of the car."
Chief An opened the door and got out of the car silently. He didn't need to convey this sentence himself, the president should have heard it clearly.
Watching the car drive away, Director An put the phone to his ear again: "President, you heard me."
Li Qiu smiled brightly and said: "You are obviously looking for so many women like me, but you use women to threaten me."
"Does he think I really care about women? Haha, hahaha..."
Director An stood there. At this time, the president did not need any answer. He just wanted to listen quietly.
"Chief An." After a long time, the laughter faded, and Li Qiu returned to his usual calmness.
"Inside."
"Tell the third child that no family members will come here in the future."
How could a person with a foreign surname have the courage to interfere in their family's family affairs?
The moment the Land Rover passed the grille, the inexplicable irritability and anger gradually disappeared, and reason once again occupied the high ground.
"President, do you want to go home now?" Driver Jin slowed down and asked.
"Let's go to the city for a walk." Li Zhenyu planned to look for memories from his 'young' days.
Driving slowly around the familiar streets, Li Zhenyu's memory became clearer and clearer, and the unfamiliar feeling of estrangement gradually disappeared in his memories.
"Let's go!" Li Zhenyu closed his open eyes in front of the tofu shop at the entrance of the alley.
With a touch of regret and inexplicable rolling emotions, the silver-gray Land Rover sped towards the 'center of the universe. '
Along the way, Driver Jin seemed to have something to say.
But until the car drove into Seoul, his voice was not heard.
"Just say what you want to say!" Li Zhenyu's eyes opened at some point, and his tone was full of relief.
Driver Jin hesitated again and again, still not knowing how to speak.
"I wanted to ask the tofu shop owner's daughter, but I forgot about it a long time ago."
"President, can I really forget?"
"Hmm~"
No matter how unforgettable it is, even if the person has changed, you can still say it is affectionate.
What's more, what's the value of self-righteous and deep love except to move yourself?
Childish, too childish.
The car parked downstairs of the company and looked at the president's back.
Driver Jin felt that he was more mature, calm and like an adult than before he left.
However, it's better to say this in your heart.
"Show me IU's itinerary."
Li Zhenyu said and turned on the TV, which happened to be playing a variety show.
"Nowadays, major companies are launching girl groups, especially SM Girls' Generation, wow~"
"It's a great success. It looks like it's very likely to succeed!"
"Yes, Girls' Generation is very popular, but today's young people should still practice hard, and at least know how to respect their seniors."
"Oh~ What's going on?"
"I met them backstage the day before yesterday. The little girls didn't use honorifics when addressing their seniors."
"real?"
"I've also heard that, wow~ little girls nowadays are really..."
It's the 21st century. Isn't it normal not to use honorifics when addressing seniors?
There will definitely be people who say this, but this kind of thing is unforgivable in Japan and South Korea.
Especially South Korea, which has the most complex honorific system in East Asia.
If you address your seniors without honorifics, you might even be called "Sa" in the Rabbit Country. This is what young people should be like.
In Neon, they are all little girls between 16 and 18, so they can be forgiven.
After all, since cuteness is correct, who can have trouble with cuteness!
But in South Korea, this is unforgivable 'disrespect' and is no different in nature from pointing at the nose of a senior.
Originally, no one would usually bring this kind of private matter to the table.
Because it offends people so much, SNSD is SM's trump card. Each one is a carefully selected treasure, containing the company's ten years of hard work and ambition.
But if you want to blame them, they have performed too well since their debut.
