"Cousin, may I come in?"

"Come in. ”

Li Shi smiled and pushed open the door, walked into the room, and saw Li Qing sitting behind the wide table.

"What's the matter?" Li Qing raised his head from behind the desk to look at Li Shi, frowning slightly. His face was a little blue, his eyes were bloodshot, and he piled up a tall stack of materials on his left-hand side.

This is the fourth day of Lin Qiuqiu's departure, due to the condemnation of conscience, coupled with lack of sleep and loss of appetite, Li Qing's whole person has lost a lot of weight.

Ning Manxuan dialed Li Qing's mobile phone in the early morning of the day Lin Qiuqiu left, scolded him severely, and then refused to answer Li Qing's phone again. Mu Rouer would come to visit Li Qing every day, and would bring him a few exquisite dishes, and by the way, she would say a few painless greetings. Seeing that Li Qing had no intention of moving chopsticks in the face of delicious food, Mu Rouer would throw down an understatement of "deserve it" at the right time.

Li Qing is not a masochist, but he would rather have a few more people like Mu Rouer to torture him, at least it will make him feel better. But after Long Wu found out that Lin Qiuqiu was angry and left, he moved to Gangbei City Hospital to live with Fang Yong, except for the sigh every time he saw Uncle Zhang, everything was as usual in the Li Family Mansion, and no other accusations could be heard.

Li Shi slowly walked to the table and sat down, looked at Li Qing's face, and sighed softly: "Cousin, why is your face so bad? I heard that Qiuqiu..."

"What's the matter?"

Finding that Li Qing's cheeks were cold, Li Zhi hurriedly cleared his throat and changed the topic in time: "I have carefully considered it, the project of Gangbei Bay should still be discussed by you." After all, Xie Yuyan and Qi Yiping are both present, and if our Li family doesn't go in person, it will be too unimportant. ”

"yes, I see. Li Qing responded, then lowered his head and continued to look at the documents in his hand. After a while, he raised his head again and stared at Li Shi.

"Ah, nothing else. Li Shi got up with a smile, "The last negotiation meeting has been rescheduled to this Wednesday, so you can prepare well." ”

With that, Li Shi turned around and walked out of the study. When he was about to go out, he turned his head and glanced lightly at Li Qing behind the table, and a touch of coldness slowly crept up under his eyes.

The door was closed again, and Li Qing raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief: "The negotiation meeting... I'm going to see Xie Yuyan again. ”

After a moment of silence, Li Qing pressed the button on the phone: "Invite Boss Qian to my study." ”

"Yes. ”

After more than ten minutes, the pot-bellied Qian Liming rushed into the study at a trot, he slammed the door open before he reacted suddenly, took half a step back, and knocked on the door: "Big brother, I'm here." ”

Li Qing put down the documents in his hand and smiled helplessly: "Come in, close the door tightly, there is something important to say." ”

Qian Liming closed the door with his hand, strode to the sofa and sat down, raised his head and stared at Li Qing, who walked out from behind the desk and walked in front of him, and sighed twice: "Big brother, don't you really plan to go to Mingtai?

Li Qing sat down opposite Qian Liming and asked in an understatement, "How is she?"

"Well, it's been good. Qian Liming nodded thoughtfully, "Yesterday, I took the child downstairs to bask in the sun." ”

As he spoke, Qian Liming glanced at Li Qing lightly: "Man, who doesn't make a little mistake." You just go to Mingtai, with such a deep relationship between you and your sister-in-law, she will definitely forgive you. ”

"It's not as simple as you think. Li Qing smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I know Qiuqiu's temperament very well, and the last person she wants to see now is me." ”

Qian Liming wanted to say something more, but Li Qing stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about you." ”

"Huh?" Qian Liming was stunned, "What's the matter with me?"

"Don't pretend to be confused with me. Li Qing glanced at Qian Liming, "You can still stay here with me, it's really hard for you." Recently, the Lingang Inspectorate has been looking for trouble with you, right?"

Qian Liming leaned on the sofa, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Big brother, do you know? This is all a small matter, Zhou Wenhao's new official has only taken office three times, and the Inspectorate will not do anything to me." ”

"Smuggling arms, is it still a trivial matter?"

Qian Liming pouted: "Big brother, this is really wronging me." My boat was leased out, how do I know what cargo it hauled? Your Li family also started shipping, so you should know how deep the water is..."

Li Qing waved his hand: "I can understand what you said, but Zhou Wenhao can't understand it, and he doesn't intend to understand." ”

Qian Liming couldn't help but glare: "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that Zhou Wenhao clearly intends to deal with me? ”

"I'm sorry, man. Li Qing patted Qian Liming's shoulder, "The Inspectorate is coming at me this time, you are just being piggybacked." ”

Facing Qian Liming's incomprehensible gaze, Li Qing explained in a low voice: "Zhou Wenhao wants to use my power to deal with the Qi family, and the trouble for you is just to force me to comply." ”

"Huh?" Qian Liming's whole face turned blue, "Big brother, no matter what, you can't agree." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Wenhao is clearly going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Let's not talk about whether we can deal with the Qi family with this little bit of belongings, even if we really win, it is difficult to guarantee that his Lingang Supervision Office will not unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”

Although Qian Liming's words were a little rough, they hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head.

Li Qing nodded lightly: "That's why I asked you to come over to discuss this matter, you should return to Mingtai immediately, take a look at the specific situation, and keep in touch with me at any time." This matter can be big or small, and if the Inspectorate really finds concrete evidence, it will be quite troublesome if it has to hold on to it. ”

Qian Liming blinked: "Big brother, what do you mean?"

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly: "Zhou Wenhao wants to deal with the Qi family, and he won't have a big conflict with me for the time being." So you also have a safe margin of activity on your side, and you can master the scale yourself. There are some things that you can do with your hands and feet, but if you can't figure it out, the two of us will discuss it together. ”

"Understood, then I'll pack my bags and go back immediately. Qian Liming nodded heavily, got up and walked out.

"Hey. Li Qing suddenly shouted, "You are convenient on the side of Mingtai, help me take care of her." Tell me everything big and small. ”

Qian Liming glanced at Li Qing and sighed slightly: "Okay, you two, you're really tired." ”

Li Qing sent Qian Liming away, returned to the back of the desk, and picked up the documents from the desktop. On the one hand, he has to face the coercion of the Lingang Inspectorate on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to meet the upcoming negotiations between the three families, in addition to the affairs inside and outside the Li family, and the sudden situations that may arise at any time, it is the time when he is very busy.

When he was free, Li Qing would think of Lin Qiuqiu, thinking of this woman's goodness and his own bastard. Thinking about it this way, Li Qing would rather do more things and squeeze all his free time out of it without being sad.

After reading one document, Li Qing listed a few points in the notebook, and then reached for the second folder. At this moment, the door creaked open, and a small head poked in, staring at the big black and white eyes and peeking secretly.

"Xiaoman. Li Qing beckoned, "Don't hide, I saw you." ”

Li Xiaoman grinned, and then squeezed into the room. She was still carrying a cartoon school bag, and she didn't know what kind of mess it contained, and she walked with a clattering sound, like a small drum beating non-stop.

"Brother. Li Xiaoman screamed sweetly, climbed onto the swivel chair opposite Li Qing, supported his cheeks with his small hands, and looked at him with big eyes.

Li Qing glanced at the wall clock on the wall lightly, and asked casually, "School is out so early today?"

"Hmm. A touch of cunning quietly flashed under his eyes, Li Xiaoman nodded his little head, "The teacher's child is sick, and she has to rush to the hospital, so she gave us an early dismissal." ”

"Skipped class again, right?"

Xiao Man hurriedly shook his little head like a rattle: "No, how can I skip class." ”

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the folder under his hand, and blinked at the little girl opposite, with a helpless expression: "Xiaoman, this month is almost over." ”

"Hmm. Li Xiaoman nodded thoughtfully.

Li Qing snapped his fingers and said: "Think about it, your teacher is really unfortunate, since this month, her husband has been sick, her mother is sick, her father is sick, and her grandparents are sick. Oh, by the way, who was she sick last week?"

Li Xiaoman pursed his lips and added: "Last week, her aunt was sick. ”

"Well, I remembered. So today her son is also sick, right? Alas, it seems that her uncle-in-law will not be spared. Li Qing covered his forehead.

"This... That..."Li Xiaoman writhed restlessly in his chair, "I'm also wondering, why is her family sick all the time..."

The corners of Li Qing's mouth twitched fiercely: "I was about to ask you, why do you keep making her family sick? Xiaoman, for example, your class teacher wants to hold a parent-teacher conference for her son, isn't this a good reason?"

"Oh. Li Xiaoman lowered his little head and began to be silent.

Li Qing opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He suddenly remembered Lin Qiuqiu again, if she was there, she would definitely not be as helpless as himself.

"Brother, are you angry with me?" Li Xiaoman leaned forward and asked cautiously.

"Nope. Li Qing shook his head and reached out to rub his temples, "I remembered a little bit of other things." ”

"I see you're suddenly upset. Li Xiaoman's voice was very soft, "Are you thinking about Sister Qiuqiu?" Brother, have you done anything to be sorry for Sister Qiuqiu?"

Li Qing was asked by Li Xiaoman, and couldn't help but be speechless.
