Chapter 43: Finally There
Although Li Xu reappeared in the hall with Diana, it attracted some attention, but it did not make too many waves, after all, he came out with her, and the daughter of an English earl was indeed worthy of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just one of the few who knows the inside story, and they can't help but sweep their eyes between Caroline and Diana.
Caroline didn't mind at all, and even pulled Diana affectionately to talk after the introduction.
As Li Xu said to John before, Caroline knows very well that he is not a suitable husband, be a lover and confidant with each other, ask out to chat, occasionally play a friendship cannon is nothing, and get married or find someone else.
However, her gaze at Li Xu is still more complicated, the two of them still have a few happy and unforgettable intimacy, and it is obvious that the role of the main protagonist has come out at this time, and it will be more or less delicious.
After that, things were relatively simple, the party passed in peace, after all, it was still an adult at the same time, and there were many elders present, and the young people definitely couldn't let go.
Even at night, when the older people are gone, the lively atmosphere is still very limited, but Li Xu was forced to play "Pathos v3" several times, as I said before, young people prefer this version.
Later, the young people also left the venue one after another, and the party was held in the villa of old Edward, not the private bar or hotel outside, so it was impossible to make a fuss too late.
Diana also left, of course, although Li Xu appeared in front of everyone with her, but did not officially declare that this was his girlfriend, and Diana was not really prepared, so it was naturally impossible to stay at his father's house.
What's next-
"It's for you, II." It was still in the study, but this time only the parents were present, and then the father handed a folder to Li Xu.
"Thanks, Daddy." Li Xu shrugged his shoulders and opened it, as expected, it was all kinds of information and procedures about the property.
Dad had said before that the 20,000-square-foot villa he bought nearby was a gift to him as an adult gift.
"Thanks, Daddy." Li Xu said again, his tone was very calm.
"The decoration is very simple, and it is very suitable for modification, and you can make the most of your own aesthetics," said old Edward at once, "if you need a housekeeper and a servant, just say it." ”
Looking for a British butler with a German name from the butler school like you? Li Xu pursed the corners of his lips in his heart, but then again, the British royal family was originally German, so ...... Not against the peace?
"Let's find a few servants first, the housekeeper has already been chosen, right, Mom?" Li Xu said and looked at his mother, who was sitting on the chair and drinking black tea for a long time.
Seriously, aren't you worried about not being able to sleep at night? Or is it ...... You didn't even plan to sleep?
"Xiao P finally couldn't help it, Mom thought you would ask after we met." Michiko said with a smile.
Li Xu immediately rolled his eyes, once the name has a second in his name, it will become very troublesome in terms of title, after all, whether it is "Edward" or "Eddie" or "Pierponte" or "Pipon", it will be repeated with Daddy.
Until now, my father had called him II, my grandfather had called him Pi Pang, and my mother had called him Ryoshi - only in Japan, and in the United States, I had to change my name to English.
Mom plays the role of Daddy's gentle guest in public, but the oriental wife with great grace, which is quite in place, and if people in Japan see her like that, their eyes will definitely fall to the ground.
Liangshi can't be used, "Edward" and "Eddie" have the same names as her husband, so she took the beginning letter of "Pierpont" and added a small (jr.), and it became a small p.
It really hurts.
But what can be done? Of course, he could follow the example of his great-grandfather Morgan Jr. and add another one in the middle of his name, anyway, Westerners have long names, but why Morgan Jr. is called Jack? Morgan, because he has power that is not inferior to that of his father.
What does Li Xu have now? Yes, several video games and toys have made him a lot of money, but so what?
It really hurts.
"There are a lot of guests today." Li Xu said.
"But Mom came three days ago." Michiko blinked, seemingly puzzled.
Can you not raise the bar like this! Li Xu could only roll his eyes: "About this, we can discuss it all night, Mom!" ”
"Well, it's a gift from Mommy." Michiko shrugged, put down the teacup, and handed over the folder in her hand, "The little girl has already started training, but there are many things to learn, so it will take at least a year to be competent." ”
"Oh?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows in surprise, you didn't show me the photos of the people, why did you arrange the training directly? Or is there only one Yasuko Sawaguchi in Osaka?
But after opening the folder, he didn't speak, in addition to the headshot, there are several photos that were taken recently, although they haven't opened yet, but at a glance, they know that it is a beauty embryo, which is the Sakuguchi Yasuko in his memory.
"As soon as I saw this little girl, I knew it must be the one my son said." Mother's voice rang out leisurely.
That's kind of ...... Got a heart? Or is it the mother of the child? Li Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, then raised his head and smiled: "Thank you, it's indeed her, Mom." ”
Then he changed the conversation: "However, I remember that the training in the butler school is generally four years, right?" Or are you going to train her to be Japanese? ”
"I have people give her special one-on-one training, and after she starts to serve you, she will also summarize and train every other period of practice, and practice and theory should be combined." Michiko said with a smile.
Li Xu continued to twitch the corners of his mouth: "Okay, I have no opinion." ”
"So, does the maid need some pretty little girls?" Old Edward, who was watching the play with his arms crossed, asked at this time.
"No, I'll arrange it later, just find some for now." Li Xu rolled his eyes.
"Okay, you're in charge, you're an adult now." The father laughed twice and handed over another document, "This is a gift from grandpa." ”
"What is it?" Although Li Xu asked, he already had a guess in his heart.
When I opened it, it was the relevant information of my own holding company, and the word "vision" was clearly marked in bold bold.
Li Xu sighed in his heart, among the four English words about imagination, he preferred to use "imagination" instead of "vision", because in that case, one day in the future may be called i society.
Well, he's starting to think cranky again, and although "imagination" can be translated as imagination, it's a term used in psychology and should generally be translated as fantasy or fantasy.
Well, this fits perfectly with "illusion", but "illusion" is obviously not suitable for a holding company, and the similar "imagination" is equally inappropriate. In addition, "fancy" is obviously a bit low, and "ideality" is mostly translated as ideal, so only "vision" remains.
Forget it, "vision" is "vision", it's a big deal to buy "illusion" in the future, or simply set up a game company called "illusion".
"At present, it is still an empty shell, and only Apple's equity has been transferred, and the rest will be carried out slowly." Old Edward said again.
"There's no hurry." Li Xu shrugged, "I'll call my grandfather to thank you." ”
"Why don't you go in person?" Old Edward said immediately.
"How?" Li Xu narrowed his eyes.
"Next week's Saturday at the regular meeting of the Onnerisse Club, I think you can go and hang out." Daddy blinked.
Li Xu understood in seconds and nodded: "I will." ”
Then he stood up: "Well, if there is nothing else to do with dear father and mother, please allow me to leave." ”
"Probably not." Old Edward said and looked at his wife.
"Xiao P is very good today, and both girls are fascinated by it." Michiko teased as usual, "Okay, mom is gone, let's rest." ”
"But I still have a question." Li Xu said so, and then looked at his father, "Can't you tell me now?" ”
"You mean, that thing?" Father asked after thinking about it.
"Of course, what else is there besides that?" Li Xu spread out his hand.
"What is it?" That's when the mother interjected.
"You don't know about that?" Li Xu was a little surprised.
"That's it." Father said in a reminding tone.
"That's what happened." It dawned on my mother.
"So you know?" Li Xu sighed, "So in the end, I am the only one in this family who doesn't know what the hell is going on?" ”
"Oh, that incident is really embarrassing, even I am a little worried." Although his mother said this, she looked at him with a smile and a flirtatious expression.
"So what the hell is going on?" Li Xu sighed.
"Actually, I originally planned to tell you today after communicating with your grandfather." "But your mother disagrees, she thinks you shouldn't put so much pressure on your coming-of-age style, so she has to put it off." ”
"It sounds scary." Li Xu frowned.
"It's not scary...... Well, I don't count if I say it, the key is how you feel. Father shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, forget it today, after watching today's coming-of-age ceremony, I think your mother's decision was right." ”
"Can't you just be happy?" Li Xu finally rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry, it's just a few days of delay, and when you go to the Onneritse Club, your grandfather will naturally hand over the detailed information to you." Father laughed.
Li Xu rolled his eyes again and looked at his mother, who changed her meaningful gaze, but did not speak, as if she had made up her mind to watch a good show.
"Okay, then I'll leave." Li Xu pursed his lips, said goodbye again and quickly exited the room neatly.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little solemn, and the husband and wife stood and sat one by one, neither of them spoke, and they seemed to be waiting for each other.
Then, Michiko finally spoke: "I don't think now is the right opportunity. ”
"But if you don't let the second solve it now, it will only be more troublesome in the future." Old Edward shook his head.
"No, I didn't mean that," Michiko looked up as she took a sip from her glass, "I mean, it's a little earlier for Yoshimi to set up her own investment company." ”
