The elevator goes to the second floor.

Li Qing walked in along the corridor, turned a corner not far ahead, and stopped at the door of the No. 1 discussion room.

The sweet-smiling concierge bowed slightly: "Hello sir, what seat is it?"

Li Qing hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "Has Xie Yunkang arrived?"

The concierge was slightly stunned, and only after a careful look did she recognize Li Qing's appearance, and she couldn't help but be stunned: "Ah, the head of the Li family..."

Li Qing waved his hand: "Answer my question." ”

The concierge lady nodded hurriedly: "Mr. Xie, it's inside." ”

"Well, thank you. Li Qing nodded, made a silent gesture to the concierge, and then pushed the door and walked in.

Entering the room, Li Qing's eyes swept around.

The interior of the No. 1 discussion room is very large, and it has all the projections and drawing boards needed for the salon. In the center, a dozen round tables are decorated with flowers and delicate refreshments, and around each table are four or five sets of single sofas, enough to accommodate fifty or sixty people. At this time, there was still some time before the salon officially began, so the room was empty, and only two people were seen at the front table.

A young man in a suit and leather shoes stood at the table, only promised. The other man was sitting on the sofa with his back to Li Qing, his body was slightly fat, with meticulous oily hair, and he was commanding something in a low voice.

As soon as he saw the shiny back of his head, Li Qing knew it in his heart. Except for Xie Yunkang, a coquettish gentleman, there are really few people who can comb their hair so fancy.

Hearing the sound of the door opening behind them, the two of them turned their heads in unison and glanced in the direction where Li Qing was.

"Oops, big nephew. Xie Yunkang slapped his face, took the lead in standing up from the sofa, and opened his hands to meet Li Qing, "Hahahaha, eldest nephew, which fragrant wind is blowing you over!"

Li Qing stood still, a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Uncle Xie, you didn't even invite me to a salon meeting in Yidong Building." It's a bit uninteresting not to play with me. ”

"Tsk, you've really wronged your uncle. Xie Yunkang patted Li Qing's back, "Aren't you sick recently, I heard that you vomited several liters of blood, and you are terminally ill, how can you have time to take care of my mess." ”

Xie Yunkang squeezed his eyebrows at Li Qing for a while: "How is it?

Li Qing smiled and asked, "What do you say?"

Xie Yunkang laughed, slapped Li Qing twice on the back, and pushed him all the way forward: "You are saying that you are sick, and if you say that you are good, you are just a half-immortal body." ”

The two of them sat down on the sofa, and Xie Yunkang pointed at the young man in a suit and leather shoes: "Do you still recognize this kid?"

"This is..."Li Qing raised his head, staring at the young man in front of him and narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Brother, you are really a noble person who is the head of the Li family. The young man grinned, "I'm Zhongbo." ”

"Zhongbo?" Li Qing blinked, suddenly realized, and immediately smiled: "I really didn't expect you to be here, the change is so big, I really didn't recognize it at all." ”

As he spoke, Li Qing stretched out his hand and compared it at the height of his shoulders: "When you left back then, it was so big." ”

"yes, I was nine years old. Xie Zhongbo nodded, and his tone was quite embarrassed, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and in a blink of an eye, you are the head of the Li family." ”

"When did you come back?"

"Last month. Xie Zhongbo replied with a smile, "I also went to see Sister Rou'er, and she made pastries for me to eat." I really didn't expect that Sister Rou'er's craftsmanship is so good now. ”

Li Qing smiled slightly: "Yes, I didn't expect it either." In more than ten years, everyone has changed too much. ”

Xie Yunkang was playful when he was young, and he hooked up with many young and beautiful women outside behind his wife's back, although the contraception work was good, but in case, there was also a chance that a woman's belly would be bigger.

Xie Zhongbo came from this, he is Xie Yunkang's illegitimate son.

Although Xie Hongbo is Xie Yunkang's rightful eldest son, he has been disobedient to his father since he was a child, and he was deeply cultivated as a reserve figure in the military at the age of seven. At the same time as him, Qi Kuan of the Qi family was enrolled, and the two went to the same military continuous school, but they were in two classes. After graduating at the age of eighteen, it coincided with the restructuring, and the high-level deliberately reduced the excessive involvement of the Lingang family, and the two of them eventually failed to enter the army, but were assigned to the police system.

Therefore, Li Qing did not have a deep friendship with Xie Hongbo, and even when he saw him for the first time after returning to Lingang, he did not know his identity.

But Xie Zhongbo is different, when he was a very young student, Mu Rouer, Li Qing and Xie Zhongbo were all classmates in the same class, and Xie Yuyan at that time was two years older, and he was the senior sister of the three people, and everyone was a childhood friend.

However, when Xie Zhongbo was nine years old, he was ostracized due to his embarrassing status as an only child, and was sent abroad by Xie Yunkang as a last resort, and has never been in touch since.

The little fart child who followed him at the beginning and cried his nose at every turn is now tall and strong, with a dignified appearance, and Li Qing inevitably has a feeling that time is in a hurry and the years are not waiting for others.

"You go out first, I still have something to say to Li Qing. Xie Yunkang cleared his throat and said in a deep voice.

"Yes. Xie Zhongbo nodded and waved his hand at Li Qing, "Brother, I'll talk about it another day." ”

"Okay. When Li Qing saw Xie Zhongbo, he couldn't help but feel more cordial, "I have time to go to Li's house to play." ”

"Hmm. Xie Zhongbo responded with a smile and turned to go out.

"This kid is very successful. Xie Yunkang stared at his son's back and disappeared at the door, turned his head and said to Li Qing, "You young people have a good time together, and you can help me mention it if you have time." ”

"Zhongbo and I have been playing together since we were kids, so naturally I don't have to say anything. Li Qing agreed, and then asked, "What is the theme of today's salon?"

"Wow. Xie Yunkang took out a booklet from under the round table and threw it in front of Li Qing, "It's not a big deal, just play around." ”

Li Qing turned the booklet around, and saw that the bold text on it read: "Antique Appreciation Exchange Exchange Meeting". He wasn't interested in these things, and his interest was instantly lacking.

"It's very interesting, do you want to hear it? And the people who can be here today are all characters with heads and faces in Lingang, and they will definitely not lose your value. Xie Yunkang asked Li Qing with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll cause you trouble?"

Xie Yunkang laughed: "Hahahaha, even if you are a monkey, can you still go to heaven?"

"Alas. Li Qing sighed silently, "Uncle Xie, let's not sell it, I'm not here to have fun with you today." ”

"Of course I know that it's okay for you to come to me. Xie Yunkang glanced at Li Qing lightly, lowered his head and looked at his watch, "The salon is about to start, you can't understand this matter from me for a while, how about the end of the event?"

"How long will it take?" Li Qing asked in a lengthened tone, "Qiuqiu is waiting for me at home." ”

"Don't worry, I won't delay you in picking up girls. Xie Yunkang patted Li Qing on the shoulder, "It's enough for you to wait for me for more than an hour, and I won't let you stay until the end of the show." ”

"Okay. Li Qing was not in a hurry, so he simply nodded and agreed.

"Try the pastries, they are all ordered. Xie Yunkang pushed the plate in front of Li Qing, stretched out his hand and sat down with a gesture of please.

Li Qing picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "Not bad, not bad." ”

The two of them were talking, the door was gently pushed open again, Xie Zhongbo walked in, he glanced at Li Qing with a smile, and then whispered a few words in Xie Yunkang's ear.

Xie Yunkang's face changed slightly, his back straightened, and he seemed to have the intention of getting up. However, he glanced at Li Qing and sat back down.

"Well, got it. Xie Yunkang nodded and looked at Li Qing with a smile, "It's delicious, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Hehe, then you eat first, I still have some things to deal with, let's go over for a while. Xie Yunkang stood up as he spoke, followed Xie Zhongbo out, and didn't forget to look at his watch when he went out, and told Li Qing, "Eat more, I'll be back soon." ”

"Hmph, old fox. After Xie Yunkang went out, Li Qing muttered sullenly.

He glanced back around the room, then got up and sat down by the window. This place is dimly lit and relatively hidden, which is very in line with Li Qing's low-key character.

Li Qing looked down at his watch, the time was 6:45, and there were still fifteen minutes before 7 o'clock. He took off his coat and put it on his head, leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes for a nap.

The sound of people entering and leaving the house was gradually heard, and it was obvious that the people who had participated in the salon had already arrived. Li Qing didn't pay any attention, still closing his eyes and resting.

"Get up, are you in the wrong position?"

Li Qing felt someone kick his calf, and a gloomy voice mixed with a little dissatisfaction came out.

Before Li Qing could react, the clothes covering his face were suddenly torn apart.

Li Qing rubbed his eyes, sat up straight and stared at the man in front of him.

The two looked at each other, and they were both slightly stunned.

The man in the suit standing in front of Li Qing was the eldest grandson of Qi Yiping, the head of the Qi family, Qi Jiacheng. And at this moment, there was a slim and pretty woman standing beside him, and the pretty face with a slight smile also changed color slightly the moment she saw Li Qing: "Master Li, why are you here?"

This woman is none other than Xue Yuexin, the queen of the little song.

Li Qing tilted his head: "Why can't I be here?"

Xue Yuexin's delicate body stiffened slightly, and then she sneered, and resolved the embarrassment just right: "That's not what I mean, it's just that I've been feeling uneasy lately, and I suddenly saw you here today, and I was in such good spirits, a little surprised." ”

"So you've been thinking about me lately?" asked Li Qing with a wink.
