Chapter 35: Being Stalked
No harmful substances were found in the medicinal wine, and the boulder hanging in He Yutian's heart finally landed, and after a little hesitation for a minute or two, he decided to follow his grandfather's instructions and go to Liu's house to ask for medicinal wine.
Obesity has always affected Old Man He's health, and as a granddaughter, He Yutian also hopes that his grandfather's weight can return to normal.
Hearing the nanny's report that the eldest lady of the He family came to visit, Liu Xun was very happy and hurriedly called He Yutian in.
"Yu Tian, you girl hasn't been here for a long time, how has the company been doing recently?" asked Liu Xun with a smile.
Like Wang Shuyan, He Yutian also grew up watching him, and he also learned calligraphy from him when he was a child.
It's a pity that this Nizi is not interested in calligraphy, but has a lot of business talent, so after graduating from college last year, she borrowed a sum of money from her family to start her own company and embark on the road of a strong woman.
That's right, it's borrowing money, not asking for money, and the borrowed money is to be repaid.
This is also what Liu Xun admires most about He Yutian, who does not rely on the family, has a strong sense of autonomy, and even leaves a formal IOU for every loan, and even the interest is clearly marked.
He Yutian's mouth was very sweet, he walked behind the old man with a smile, and said with a smile while pinching his shoulder: "Thanks to Grandpa Liu's blessing, the company can barely sustain itself, and it should be able to pay off the money owed to the family by the end of this year." ”
Liu Xun shook his head and said with a kind smile: "You girl is stubborn, you are also a member of the He family, why should you be so clear." ”
"It's different. He Yutian pursed his lips and said: "The money earned by the elders in the family has nothing to do with me, and it is better to use the money you earn." ”
It's not that He Yutian psychologically resists the help of her family, but she knows that a family is far more complicated than an ordinary family.
Although their lineage is the main lineage of the He family, that is, the descendant, it does not mean that they can use the resources of the He family at will, and at the same time, they must also take into account the side lineage of the He family.
In business, He Yutian has her own ambitions, and she doesn't want to wait for the day when the company becomes bigger and stronger, and the red-eyed people jump out and say that it is relying on the support of the family to succeed.
Therefore, now she calculates every account clearly, just to prevent future disputes.
"You inherited your father's talent for business, but also his stubbornness. Liu Xun's eyes showed a look of memory, leaned back in the chair and said leisurely: "When your father decided to go to the sea to do business, your grandfather refused to live or die, and finally broke out of the world to prove himself, I have a hunch that you will be better than your father." ”
He Yutian once heard his father mention the past, the He family is a famous scholarly family in Jiangnan Province, and his ancestors have been a big official.
In the eyes of the older generation, businessmen have a low status, pursue profit and ignore righteousness, and their descendants generally rarely engage in business, but He Yutian's father He Yunxiang is an exception, so in the early days of business, he was opposed by many family members.
However, with the development and growth of the Yunxiang Group founded by He Yunxiang, all kinds of opposition gradually subsided, and even Old Man He no longer said anything.
He was also embarrassed to raise any more objections, because collecting antiques required a lot of money, most of which was given by his son He Yunxiang, otherwise with his own pension, where could he afford to buy antiques.
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was almost lunch time, Liu Xun got up and said, "Girl, let's have lunch with grandpa, the nanny has newly learned an appetizing porridge, which can nourish beauty and is your girl's favorite." ”
He Yutian didn't believe that any appetizing porridge could nourish her beauty, but the old man spoke, and she didn't refuse, thinking about how to ask for medicine and wine.
Not long after, the nanny brought the appetizing porridge, and before it was put on the table, the refreshing aroma made He Yutian's eyes light up, and his eyes couldn't help but focus on the mouth of the bowl.
"Taste it while it's hot, this appetizing porridge was taught by a young man and has a good effect on appetizers. ”
Liu Xun's words made He Yutian's heart move, she remembered that her grandfather said that the medicinal wine was given by a young man named Li Yan, and after thinking about it and asking, "Could it be that Li Yan taught it?"
Raising his head slightly, Liu Xun thought for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled with relief: "I knew that your girl didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it was your grandfather who asked you to ask for wine, I guessed correctly, right?"
After being recognized, He Yutian's face turned red, lowered his head and drank porridge quietly, embarrassed to speak again.
"Old man He's cheekiness is really thicker than the city wall, and he actually asked a junior to beg for wine. Liu Xun teased and asked the nanny Aunt Zhang to bring the medicinal wine and pour one-third of it into another bottle.
Seeing his reluctant appearance, He Yutian was even more curious, could this wine really be so good that it could make the two old men regard it as a treasure.
"This wine is very precious, and Li Yan only gave me a little, so that your grandfather could save some to drink. ”
Liu Xun handed the bottle to He Yutian, he was not an alcoholic, but now he is dividing so much, but it is like cutting his flesh, but it is difficult to refuse the younger generation because of his feelings.
As an elder, you should set an example, and you can't let the juniors laugh at yourself for being stingy, and you can't even give a little wine.
Unconsciously, a large bowl of appetizing porridge had entered He Yutian's stomach, and in order to maintain her figure, she had never eaten so much in one meal in the past.
At first, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it, but now I feel that it is not enough, and I feel the urge to have another bowl.
Just adding a little fruit and vegetables to the gruel can turn ordinary rice porridge into such a delicious He Yutian licked his lips and became more and more curious about Li Yan.
Putting the dishes and chopsticks into the sink, He Yutian smiled and said, "Grandpa Liu, what is the relationship between you and Li Yan, can you be a middleman and ask him to meet me here?"
I didn't expect her to make this request, Liu Xun joked and said: "I almost forgot, you are also at the age of marriage, Li Yan is a good young man, although he is two years younger than you, but it is nothing, do you want Grandpa Liu to help you be a matchmaker?"
"Oh, what do you always say!" He Yutian was most afraid of others telling her this kind of thing, and said with a blushing face: "People just want to talk to him about business." ”
"Talking about business?" Liu Xun was a little surprised, and then his eyes fell on the wine bottle: "You mean this medicinal wine?"
"That's right. He Yutian nodded, and said: "My grandfather said that this wine has a weight loss effect, he has drunk it for a few days, and he has lost four catties, I feel that this is a big business opportunity." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xun was even more surprised: "I have also drunk it for a few days in a row, and my spirit has indeed improved, but I haven't paid much attention to my weight." ”
Even he said this, proving that that kind of medicinal wine was effective, He Yutian became more and more excited in his heart, and he couldn't wait to see Li Yan immediately and cooperate with him to develop medicinal wine.
She wanted to buy the formula directly, but she guessed that nine times out of ten it would be rejected, such a precious formula, as long as she was not a fool, she would not easily transfer it.
While the two were talking, Li Yan was about to lift the lid of the casserole.
After boiling for three hours, the smell of herbs filled the room, and he frowned again and again.
Use a strainer to filter out the residue, leaving a little gray decoction, which can be distinguished from the smell, but it is similar to the healing liquid given by Meng Po.
After leaving it for more than twenty minutes, the decoction cooled down, and the residual dregs settled to the bottom of the casserole, and Li Yan scooped a little into the bowl with a spoon.
I had already applied a healing liquid yesterday, and the injuries on my chest had all healed, and there were still a lot of bruises on my back.
Like last time, there was also a cold feeling, but it was not so obvious, and Li Yan's heart suddenly sank a little.
Ten minutes passed, the bruises were slightly relieved, and there was still pain in the touch, which showed that the effect was far inferior to the healing liquid given by Meng Po, and Li Yan knew that what he was most worried about had happened.
According to Meng Po, in the preparation of healing liquid, other herbs are secondary, mainly in the other side of the flower, she used the other side of the flower on the Huangquan Road, and Li Yan used the human substitute, the effect was greatly reduced.
"If the decoction is thicker, will the effect be improved?" an idea popped up in Li Yan's mind.
He immediately began to try, lighting a fire and continuing to boil the healing liquid until the decoction in the casserole was only half of the original one.
Previously, after three hours of low boiling, there was not much decoction, but now there are even fewer, and it is less than half a bowl when it is poured out.
The second attempt, the effect was better than just now, but it was still not as good as the original healing liquid, Li Yan had to give up and declared the experiment a failure.
He can boil the decoction more thickly, but the effect improvement is very limited and does not make much sense.
Just when Li Yan was depressed, the mobile phone rang, and it was Liu Xun calling.
This is the first time that Old Man Liu called, Li Yan immediately answered, the two chatted for a while, and soon he figured out that someone had taken a fancy to his daughter in the underworld.
In fact, Li Yan didn't think about bringing this wine to the market on a large scale, but just thinking about it, the feasibility is not very large, unless he can know the secret recipe of winemaking.
Knowing that there was little chance of reaching cooperation, in order not to make it difficult for Liu Lao, Li Yan still agreed to go to Liu's house.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xun smiled and said: "Li Yan agreed, he will come over soon, he is the most talented young man I have ever seen, I will take you to see his works." ”
It is definitely not a waste of fame to let the old-eyed Liu Lao give such a high evaluation, and He Yutian is also a little curious about how good Li Yan's calligraphy level is.
Liu Xun had already asked Li Yan to frame the "Chen Qing Table" and "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" and hang them on the wall of the study.
Seeing these two works, He Yutian's mouth opened wide.
Her calligraphy level is average, far inferior to Wang Shuyan, but it doesn't mean that she has no appreciation ability, she can feel that Li Yan has entered the hall in calligraphy, and she has a lot of style.
"No wonder you and my grandfather have such a high esteem for him, just with this good hand, the achievement will not be too low in the future. He Yutian sighed sincerely.
"That guy has many ways to make money, he sold antiques twice, and earned nearly 500,000 yuan, and he is also a rich man among college students. ”
Liu Lao laughed, and couldn't help but think of his unsuccessful grandson, who was about the same age as Li Yan, but one in the sky and one in the ground, there was no comparison, and his expression suddenly darkened a lot.
He Yutian didn't pay attention to the change in the old man's expression, she remembered that a few days ago, her grandfather took back two antique wine glasses, which seemed to be bought from Li Yan.
"He has good calligraphy and is not weaker than a chef in a big hotel, but he is versatile......" He Yutian couldn't wait to meet Li Yan and see if this guy was really that good.
Li Yan was already on the way, but he didn't go directly to Liu Xun's house, but casually walked around the crowded street, because he vaguely found a suspicious figure behind him.
The last time he was blocked in the alley by Scar and Long Hair, and almost capsized in the gutter, he became much more cautious when traveling, and would pay attention to his back from time to time.
Without the Hercules talisman body, Li Yan didn't dare to easily make a move with these gangsters, in case he forced them, he took out a knife and stabbed him twice, wouldn't he die unjustly.
He thought about calling the police, but it may not be useful to call the police, and the road is not his home, everyone can walk, so why should it be said that others are following, and there is no actual evidence.
Li Yan was targeted by Zhou Zhenfeng's people, but he didn't know that not far behind the gangster, a middle-aged man carrying a burden of fruit was not in a hurry to follow.
There is no way to go on like this, Li Yan is so anxious that he is about to hold his urine out, and he must find a way to get rid of this tail.
Wandering around, he thought that there was a small commodity street not far away, which was the most lively, sometimes so crowded that electric cars could not pass, and it was a suitable place to escape, and decided to act there.
