In the past few days, the relationship between Xie Yun and Li's father and mother is heating up.

Every day when Li Mu returns home from the company, he will listen to Li's mother say a few words of praise for Xie Yun and Zhao Ziqiu.

Xie Yun has her way of getting along, so Li's mother soon became her good friend, and the two often make appointments to do something together, drink afternoon tea, eat small refreshments, and even bask in the sun on the terrace, Xie Yun teaches Li Ma the delicacy in the life of Jiangnan women, and at the same time can avoid letting Li Ma misunderstand that she is showing her superiority, all in all, she has the ability to make Li Ma feel comfortable being friends with her.

However, for Xie Yun, Mama Li's straightforward personality also makes her like it very much, in her social circle, most of them are people with countless faces, and there are very few people who are willing to associate with themselves with real faces, and she quickly summed up Mama Li's personality: kind, straightforward, no arrogance, and at the same time able to think about others, it is indeed a lucky thing to have such a friend.

With such contact and understanding, Xie Yun hopes that her daughter can achieve a positive result with Li Mu, in that case, not only her husband has the ability, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law are also one in a million.

Zhao Ziqiu has not gone to class during this time, and almost all of the time is in Ziyun Villa, so he will come to visit the door with his mother every day, or Li's mother will visit by herself, I heard that Li's mother also set up a table of hot pot at home during lunch, Zhao Ziqiu has been following to help prepare the ingredients, and Li's mother has praised her again and again.

What Li's mother said was: Ziqiu, like her mother, does things unhurriedly but is very quick, and the most important thing is that the little girl is more beautiful than her mother and very well-behaved.

Li Mu saw that his mother liked Zhao Ziqiu more and more, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, maybe it won't be long before his mother will talk in front of him, hoping to have a daughter-in-law like Zhao Ziqiu in the future, right?

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Zhao Ziqiu naturally doesn't have too much thought, although her academic performance is very good, but in the end, she has insufficient life experience, and she is a standard silly white sweet, but Xie Yun is not the same way as her, among the female elders that Li Mu has come into contact with, Xie Yun should be the smartest one, it is simply a copy of Huang Rong in Jin Yong, she suddenly decided to come to Yanjing, and mingle with her mother every day, I'm afraid there are some purposes mixed in here, right?

However, Li Mu also knew very well in his heart that he could not intervene in this matter, and there was no need to intervene.

When I got home from work that day, Li Mu sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, holding a laptop to read some information about Baidu, preparing for a new round of negotiations with Baidu tomorrow morning, Li's mother walked up to him and asked him, "Has Ziqiu contacted you today?"

Li Mu shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"

Li Mu has been busy with work recently, and Zhao Ziqiu has always been very sensible, rarely bothering him when he is working.

Li's mother said: "I went to your Aunt Xie's place this afternoon to have afternoon tea with her, she said that Ziqiu's father is going to come over once in the next two days, do you want the two families to have a meal together?"

Li Mu was embarrassed in her heart, and asked her on her face, "Did Aunt Xie tell you?"

"Hmm. Mother Li nodded and said: "I think your Aunt Xie is a very good person, she is a good friend, and to be honest, people are well-informed, and you can get a lot of inspiration by chatting with her. ”

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Okay, you can come and see, when the time comes, invite their family to our house for dinner, if you need it, I will ask Ziwei to help you." ”

Li's mother said: "Ziwei is still calling me today, and I will ask her to come to the house for dinner tomorrow night." ”

"Okay, then I'll take her back directly tomorrow after we finish talking about business. Li Mu nodded, Li's mother likes Li Ziwei, and she usually cares about her, but she also loves her from the bottom of her heart.

Mother Li hesitated for a moment, and said a little hesitantly: "That, son, is my mother discussing something with you?"

Li Mu nodded: "Say it, you can decide what to do, and what else to discuss." ”

Li's mother said seriously: "This matter must be discussed with you, if you agree, Mom will do it, if you don't agree, Mom won't do it." ”

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Then you can say it, as long as it is not for me to make up your mind, I have no opinion......"

Mother Li said: "I want to recognize Ziwei as a goddaughter, do you think it's okay?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Mama Li was not joking, he nodded and said, "Of course, since you like her so much, it is normal for you to think of her as your goddaughter, and besides, you have always regretted not having a daughter." ”

Li's mother nodded again and again, and said seriously: "This matter has to be agreed by Ziwei, if she doesn't agree, my mother won't force it, but if she agrees, your father and I will not treat her badly in the future, if she is interested in someone and talks about marriage in the future, your father and I will also have to buy her some dowry that can be handled." ”

Li Mu said: "Mom, as long as you like it, I have no opinion, even if you adopt a baby girl for me as a sister now, I will raise my hands in favor." ”

To some extent, Li Mu can understand the parents' desire for their children to accompany and their children and grandchildren around their knees, the older they are, the stronger their expectations may be, although Li Ziwei is only her assistant, but it is rare for her mother to really like it, and Li Ziwei herself is also a very sensible girl, the assistant's work may change in the future, if Li Ziwei resigns one day, or puts her in other positions, her opportunities to contact her mother may also be greatly reduced, at that time, her mother may be a little more disappointed in her heart.

If Li Ziwei agrees to be her mother's goddaughter, the two will be able to communicate and interact more in the future outside of work, and her mother will be very happy, so why not, if Li Ziwei can really make her mother have greater gains and gratification at the level of family affection in the future, then she will naturally thank her and give her enough rewards at the right time.

……

Early the next morning, Li Mu rushed to Muye Technology, and made an appointment with Robin at nine o'clock in the morning today, which was a very important matter, Robin attached great importance to it, and Li Mu did not slack off at all.

When she arrived at the company at half past eight, Li Ziwei had already arrived for half an hour, and when she saw Li Mu, she immediately briefly described today's general arrangement to Li Mu, and then told Li Mu: "Baidu said that they have temporarily added three members of the negotiation team, and the other party is the president and assistant of Silicon Valley's VC Defengjie in Asia. Translation, they just bought most of Baidu's shares from the first two VCs who invested in Baidu some time ago, and then chased Baidu a sum of money, and now their shareholding in Baidu has exceeded 20%. ”

Li Mu asked curiously: "What is the origin of Defengjie? ”

Li Ziwei said: "DFJ is a mid-sized VC in Silicon Valley that currently manages about $1 billion in investment funds around the world. ”

Li Mu frowned: "The total amount of funds is only one billion US dollars......"

Li Ziwei pursed her lips and smiled, "It's definitely impossible to compare with top VCs like Sequoia, Softbank, and Morgan, but because they hold a lot of shares in Baidu, they still pay attention to Baidu's negotiations with us." ”

“OK。 Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Robin is not having a good time now, otherwise it would be impossible for the capital side to interfere with the company's operations." ”

"yes. Li Ziwei said: "I did some research privately, and now the capital market is not very optimistic about Baidu's prospects." ”

Li Mu said: "Others are not optimistic, it is a good opportunity for us, Baidu is not lacking the recognition of the capital market, but traffic and time." ”

If nothing else, Google will still withdraw from the Chinese market in the future, Baidu will still be a monopoly, and, Tengxun has now disappeared, 360 has not yet come out, the next few years will definitely give Baidu an excellent window for development, by that time, the search engine market of more than one billion people, almost all will flow into his family's pocket, at that time, the market value will naturally increase significantly, if in this process, he is not his enemy, and give him traffic, Baidu's take-off is just around the corner.

Li Ziwei asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, the office made tea for you, do you want to go to the office for a while, or sit here for a while?"

Li Mu said: "Go to the office, you can come too." ”

Back in the office, a cup of fragrant hot tea was already placed on the desk, Li Mu sat down on his swivel chair, let Li Ziwei sit opposite, and after taking a few sips of tea, he said to her: "I'm afraid I'm going to talk about the afternoon with Baidu today, you arrange lunch at noon, and then after the afternoon, if there is nothing to do, come home with me for a meal, my mother said I miss you." ”

Li Ziwei first said: "I have already arranged lunch, and it is the Da Dong roast duck opposite us." ”

Then he said: "I don't have anything to do at night, if Aunt Li is convenient, I'll be fine." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Talk to the restaurant for lunch, cancel, and then find a clean fast food restaurant, order a working meal, and fight a war of attrition with them today, and strive to get it done at one time, so you have to give them a little sense of oppression." ”

Li Ziwei hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll arrange it." ”

……

At 8:50, a 11-member negotiation team from Baidu, led by Robin, arrived at Makino Technology.

Li Mu rarely saw a business negotiation, and there were eleven people on one side, and this battle really scared him, so much so that when he shook hands with Robin, he couldn't help but tease him: "Robin, are you going to play a football game with Makino Technology?"

Robin was also a little embarrassed, originally eight people came over, but I didn't expect Defengjie to follow and mix, and the attitude was very strong, although he had the initiative in the truth, but he couldn't suppress the other party from the momentum, so he could only agree with a sense of humiliation,

It's a bad feeling, capital shouldn't interfere with the normal operation of the company, just like you borrowed money from someone else, and someone else shouldn't interfere with how you spend it.

However, there is such a routine in the shopping mall, whoever has the right to speak is the boss, and some companies play in the middle and late stages, and there are more cases where the founder is kicked away by capital as a ball.

Robin smiled and introduced a white middle-aged man with a height of 1.9 meters to Li Mu, and said, "Mr. Li, let me introduce you to Mr. Jimmy Page, the president of DFJ Asia." ”

Jimmy Peggy immediately stretched out his hand to Li Mu and said reverently, "Mr. Li, it's an honor to meet you." ”

Li Mu nodded, shook hands with him slightly with a smile, and then said a word of English, but Jimmy choked enough.

Li Mu said: "Fortunately, Mr. Jimmy will listen later, and talk less." ”
