The two of them went downstairs hand in hand, and there were two people sitting in the restaurant on the first floor, and he recognized them at a glance, it was Ou Pei Linying's mother and daughter. "You...... It's Miss Liang, right? Ou Pei Linying asked.

"It's me, Mrs. O, how are you?" Liang Wei smiled and broke away from his hand and ran over in a few steps, "Mrs. Ou, I haven't seen you for a long time." Last time, he and I were in a hurry, and I didn't have time to formally thank you. ”

"You're welcome, being able to entertain Miss Liang as a guest at my house really makes my ** life a little sunny. In that sense, I owe you a debt of gratitude. Ou Pei Linying said with a smile: "Oh, let me introduce to you, my daughter, Ou Chenli, this is Miss Liang that I told you." ”

The two women looked at each other, and there was light in their bright eyes, obviously shocked by each other's bright colors, "Hello, my name is Ou Chenli, and you call me frequently." ”

"Hello, I don't have an English name, he won't let me have an English name, you can call me Xiaowei."

"He? Side? Ou Chenli's beautiful eyes rolled, and she let out a long oh, "I know, it's him?" Oh, don't blame me for being troublesome, I was kind enough to remind you that this man has a wife. ”

Liang Wei was startled, and turned her head to glare! Lu Li was very embarrassed, and leaned over to whisper a few words to her, Liang Wei blushed cutely, and said a few words to Ou Chenli with a grin, and then she realized that the wife of this annoying guy turned out to be the girl in front of her who hit it off at first sight! "Ah, this ...... I'm sorry, I don't know. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Liang Wei laughed, and Ou Chenli held hands, and the two girls of similar age instantly became friends, whispered a few words, ignored the others, and turned to go upstairs.

Lu Li sat opposite Ou Pei Linying and spoke with her, "Mrs. Ou, how come you have time to come here?" Something? ”

"Sort of, on the one hand, I sent you a check, and on the other hand, I also want to see your hot pot restaurant, after all, I invested money into it, and I always want to know if it can develop smoothly in the future - I hope you don't care."

"Of course not, if it were me, I wouldn't even be able to do it like you, and put your money in without knowing what the situation of the investor is."

Ou Pei Linying smiled, she has been a lawyer for many years, fighting for the interests of her clients in the court, and arguing with her opponents, what kind of words can't be heard? She knew that Lu Li was sarcastically mocking herself, "Then, Mr. Lu, can you show me around your place?" ”

"Yes, of course." Lu Li took the lead and walked up to the third floor with Ou Pei Linying, "Construction is still underway here, and the final decoration has been almost underway." I think if all goes well, we can officially open before Christmas. ”

"There are less than ten days left, but is it too late?"

"I'm going to get my check from you tomorrow, and I'm going back to China at once. Some of the necessary materials are purchased domestically and then transported in through customs. Time is a bit tight, but it should be in time. ”

"I've read your proposal, why don't you want to buy it in Hong Kong nearby, is it because of the price?"

"That's one aspect of my consideration, since you want to do business, you have to find a way to maximize profits. Domestic beef, mutton and other goods are very cheaper than here, even if the transportation costs are added, it is only about one-third of the cost of purchasing materials in Hong Kong. In addition, just like the words I heard from you, the mainland is a very, very vast golden treasure land, and with this opportunity, I can get closer to my friends and prepare for the future. ”

Ou Pei Linying was greedy when she heard it, obviously she had such a relationship, but she just couldn't get through? It's so anxious and annoying! "Mr. Lu, can you tell me who your friend is in the mainland?"

"Haven't you already investigated? It is Li Ting and Li Zhengrong father and son. ”

"It's just them, father and son?"

Lu Li hesitated for a moment, Ou Pei Linying lent him money after all, although the money was to be charged interest, but this favor was finally not good not to repay, so he had to tell the truth, "There are still some ...... Others, such as Li Da, director of the general office of the Yangcheng Municipal Party Committee, were originally Li Ting's secretary, and after the latter was transferred to Pengcheng, he sat in such a position. ”

Ou Pei Linying nodded thoughtfully, she didn't know much about the division of these functional departments in the mainland, and she didn't want to delve too deeply, but she could hear that this was another very important person, "By the way, Mr. Lu, I want to ask you, why don't you buy it nearby in Pengcheng, but go to Yangcheng?" ”

"There are two reasons for this, first of all, Pengcheng has just been created, and this city is still in the initial stage, and there are no materials I need. Even if there were, it might not be enough for me to eat; In addition, Pengcheng is a place that I think will become the first priority area for my so-called career development in the next few years. Therefore, I do not want to leave a bad impression in the minds of local officials. ”

"Pengcheng? Aren't you doing business in Hong Kong now? What, are you still planning to go back? ”

Luli chuckled, "Of course. It's 100%, but even if I leave Hong Kong, it's not like I'm going to cut off all of them. There will also be some business left here. My plan for the future is to be busy at both ends. ”

"It's better to be young." Ou Pei Linying sighed, "Yes, I have prepared a small gift, which can be regarded as a wedding for you and Mrs. Lu, please smile." As she spoke, she took out a box from her bag, Luli's face turned red, and she opened it, and it was a crystal work of art, shaped like two swans, with their necks lingering on the base of blue crystal, which looked very elegant and beautiful.

Lu Li was holding the handicrafts in his hand, his eyes were slightly red, no matter what the other party's purpose was, this favor made him feel unhappy! "Well, Mrs. Ou, the actual situation is not what you think, it is actually ...... It was me and Xiaowei who verbally agreed on three lives, which has no legal effect. ”

"It's nothing, I can understand your words, I am engaged in the law, in my opinion, the husband and wife stipulated by the law and two people really love each other, it is completely different things. So, if I had to give this gift to a newlywed, I'd rather give it to you and your wife. ”

Lu Li could hear the language in her words, but there was no need to delve into it, nodded with a smile, and temporarily handed it to Xu Yunjian beside him, "Then, Mrs. Ou, it's better to say that it's better to bump into it, you and Miss Ou came just in time today, so let's dine at my hot pot restaurant, right?" Let's eat hot pot, how about it? ”

Ou Pei Linying looked around and asked, "You don't have one here?" ”

"Yes, if you agree, I'll let someone do it right away, and it'll be fine soon! Xu Yunjian, hurry up and go out shopping with Ah Zhong, let's be lively tonight. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away! Cat, let's go! ”

Lu Li and Ou Pei Linying went to the fourth floor again, the bedroom door was open, and from time to time the sound of two girls giggling and laughing came out, and it could be heard that the two of them had become friends. "Mrs. Ou, there is no place to sit here, shall I accompany you downstairs?"

Ou Pei Linying smiled and shook her head, as if she was very interested in this place, she walked through them one by one, and asked, "Here, do you plan to use it as a lounge?" Will you be open downstairs and rest upstairs? ”

"What else else can I do?"

"That's not good." Ou Pei Linying said: "When my husband was still alive, he once told me such a topic, when your business has just started, the pursuit of capital and other things is not very strong, but life is always in an upward trend, and doing business is the same. For example, if you have a small amount of money, you can ask me to borrow it, but what about a large amount of money? It has to go through the bank to get it. ”

Lu Li listened half-incomprehensibly, without saying a word, "...... Banks lend you money and earn fees through interest, which is certainly their way of survival, but it is not what anyone who comes to them to borrow money can get what they want. There is a reason for this, which is to ensure that the money lent to you will be recovered—can you understand these words? ”

"Yes, I understand."

"And how to ensure that it can be recovered, there are some parts that can be made by people." Ou Pei Linying said with a smile: "Take me as an example, I have been engaged in the legal industry for many years, and I have seen many, many parties, some of whom have had to go to court because of disputes with banks. Some of these people are indeed poor management and inaccurate investment vision, resulting in business losses, unable to repay the bank's arrears, and finally have no choice but to declare bankruptcy; But there are also some people who have the idea of cheating money from the beginning. The goal is to borrow a huge amount of money from the bank and squander it. They are such scum who never thought of paying back the money from the beginning. ”

"Even if what you say makes sense, the bank won't give them the money indiscriminately, right? Just like when I applied for a loan this time, wasn't it because of one reason or another that I was turned away? ”

"Yes, you're right, but no matter what kind of investigation the bank conducts beforehand, there will always be a little loophole. This provides an opportunity for those people to take advantage of. What I'm talking to you about now is of course not to teach you exactly what these loopholes are, on the contrary, as a licensed lawyer who has been practicing legal work for many years, I must not encourage you to carry out any illegal acts. ”

"Then ......" Luli was really a little surprised, you don't want to teach me this, why are you talking so much?

Ou Pei Linying saw it, and she said: "Mr. Lu, what I want to tell you is that all the two kinds of people I mentioned above have one thing in common, that is, no matter whether their starting point is good or evil, they will persevere. That is, to maintain a glamorous appearance at all times. ”

"Why is that?"

"Quite simply, because it is not possible or right for banks to investigate the bank accounts and bank deposits of loan applicants. This is one thing that is forbidden in Western countries. Therefore, in the bank, some hardware of the survey subjects has become a condition for them to provide reference. ”

"I kind of understand, for example, if you want to take out a loan, as soon as people see the luxury villa you live in, they will think that there is no big problem - even if you don't pay the money one day, you can still use your estate as collateral, isn't that the truth?"

"In principle, it is right, it is a necessary manifestation of financial resources and strength." Ou Pei Linying looked around, her eyes fell on Lu Li's face again, and said: "Back to the topic we just had, Mr. Lu, if you just want to stay in Hong Kong for a short time, make a little money through this hot pot restaurant, and then leave, that's it, otherwise, I advise you, or at some point, pay attention to your ......."

"Words and deeds?"

"No, you don't have a big problem with that, it's mostly your dress. I'm sorry, but can I ask if the suit you wear now is the one you wore to my house? ”

Lu Li's face turned red with shame, Ou Pei Linying's vision is so accurate, it's exactly that! In fact, he came to Hong Kong this time and brought a few clothes, but they were all worthless things bought in Yangcheng, and then he thought of going to someone's house to attend a dinner, so he bought a suit at the sandiro counter of Funakoshi Department Store, which was sold for more than 4,300 Hong Kong dollars, which made him feel pain for a while. After that, he didn't have so many banquets to attend, so naturally he didn't have any expenses in this regard, and when he heard Ou Pei Linying say it today, it seemed that it was not right to do this?

"And why don't you even have a watch? Watches are a symbol of a man's status, especially for businessmen, it is a must. ”

Lu Li smiled helplessly, although he was not slow-minded, but this kind of thing didn't touch the door at all, so he had to ask the expert for advice, "Tell me again, what else?" ”

Ou Pei Linying smiled, and just as she was about to speak, Liang Wei and Ou Chenli walked out, the two women were happy, holding hands, and walked in front of them, "What else?" And so much! Ou Chenli sneered and said: "At the most basic level, in this society, men must have a minimum of politeness when treating women's surnames, if you have the heart, start from this point." ”

Lu Li ignored her as usual, only when he saw Ou Chenli, he would think of Luna, although the two girls had different faces, they both didn't understand the rules, he really didn't want to say a word to her! "Mrs. Ou, Xu Yunjian and they are coming back soon, shall we go downstairs? Wait a while, please try our northern specialty hot pot, and give a little advice? ”

"Of course, I can't help it! To be honest, I was a little hungry. (To be continued.) )
