The birthday cake is three-tiered, white cream is decorated with flowers, and twenty-three candles are inserted on it, and in a birthday song hummed by everyone, Ou Chenli folded her hands, made a wish, and then blew out the candles, and applause rang out all around.

Xu Yunjian, Li Tiehan and Lu Li couldn't sing at all, they stood to the side and watched blankly, Ou Chenli took the dinner knife and cut off two big pieces, handed them to her mother and uncle respectively, and then cut off another piece, turned her head and nodded to Lu Li, and motioned for him to go over.

Lu Li didn't know why, so he walked up to the girl, "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's nothing," Ou Chenli said softly, "I just wanted to show my gratitude to you, um......" She picked up the cake with a dinner knife, put it on the plate, and sent it forward.

Lu Li was about to catch it with his hand, when he suddenly found that the girl's eyes were narrow, and he also had an idea, and at the moment when Ou Chenli was about to move, he turned his palm into a knife and struck her elbow lightly! Ou Chenli was caught off guard, and involuntarily bent her arm, and a large piece of cake smashed on her face! The snow-white cream and golden cake were scattered all over her body, she really didn't expect that this bastard was so smart, he even knew what he was thinking? But it didn't matter, the girl's mind was smart, and she whimpered and cried, "What are you doing?" I just wanted to give you cake to eat...... Woooooo ”

Luli was also a little stupid, he misunderstood her! "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I...... My unintentional ......"

Ou Chenli's heart is overjoyed! Finally forced this guy to apologize to himself! For this sentence of I'm sorry, it's sweet for me to be wronged a little more! "What's unintentional? Do you see anyone behaving like this, and you have to humiliate her like this? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Lu Li really regretted a little, not thinking that she was playing on the topic, and apologized without a word. bowed and begged again, Ou Chen Lili ignored it, not only her, but even Ou Pei Linying was a little unhappy, glanced at Lu Li, and coaxed her daughter in a low voice. "It's okay, he probably didn't mean to humiliate you."

After coaxing a child for a long time, Ou Chenli finally stopped crying, went to the bathroom to wash her face, grinned at herself in the mirror, turned her head and walked out, "Mommy, this can't work!" ”

"What's not going to work?"

"He bullied me like this, I can't spare him."

Luli was startled. He knew very well how hostile Ou Chenli was to himself, but he really didn't take care of this matter, so he had to pray in his heart, she didn't toss herself too much, right? "What can't spare him?" Ou Pei Linying patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"The surname is Lu!" Ou Chenli snorted and said, "Today is my birthday, and you humiliate me for no reason." You've got to pay! ”

Luli swallowed dryly, and became stammering again when he spoke! "Compensation...... Miscellaneous...... What the? ”

Ou Chenli heard Xu Yunjian say. Knowing that he stuttered when he was a child, but he had never seen it, he found that when he stammered, he no longer had the majesty and indifference of the past, but looked quite pitiful and cute, and the girl's little face was wrinkled. Nostrils turned to the sky and said: "This is not a problem I should consider, anyway, you have to compensate me!" ”

Luli pouted, "Okay, I'll accompany you with money, how much do you want?" ”

"Nonsense! Don't I have any money myself? Spend your money. Who are you? ”

Seeing that their happy couple was getting more and more fierce, Ou Pei Linying and Ou Zihao each stepped forward and persuaded each other, "Mr. Lu, it's better to wait and think about how you will compensate her." He grinned and said, "Let's go talk again." ”

persuaded the two of them, Lu Li followed Ou Zihao back to the kitchen, sat down opposite the counter, did not speak, first smiled bitterly, "This niece of mine is spoiled by her mother." Mr. Lu, don't blame, right? ”

"No, I'm at fault. You shouldn't do that. ”

"I don't agree, I'm not blind in my eyes, I can see that if you don't strike first, I'm afraid that a big piece of cake will hit you in the face." Ou Zihao thought about the scene just now, and laughed vigorously: "But, seriously, Mr. Lu, you really deserve to have won the championship of the fighting competition, and the kung fu in your hands is really neat!" ”

What else can Luli say? He just shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Mr. Ou, let's continue the topic just now, you say, if it's my case, is there any way to avoid it?"

Ou Zihao's face gradually turned solemn, he thought for a while, shook his head, he didn't have a particularly good solution.

This late arrival at his niece's birthday party was just a clumsy excuse he and his widowed sister-in-law came up with, because Ou Pei Linying called him temporarily and talked in detail about the future prospects he had heard from Luli on the phone. In all fairness, Ou Zihao is not very interested in this, although Ou's company claims to be all-encompassing, and does any profitable business, but the food and beverage category is a shortcoming.

At present, the family's business is thriving with the help of the global economic take-off in the 80s, and the company's board of directors has also been aimed at Hong Kong and Macau becoming more and more Asian pearls that tourists from all over the world yearn for, and intends to develop the catering industry, but Ou Zihao vetoed it, his reason is: the so-called unfamiliar do not do, is it so easy to open a restaurant, and to be able to make a name for yourself in Hong Kong and even the surrounding areas? Among the people here, who dared to say that he knew the operating procedures of this kind of service catering industry? If not, rush to the horse and eventually fail, who should be responsible for the funds invested in the early stage? And how to explain to shareholders?

“…… Although Hong Kong pursues a completely free trade policy, as far as I know, it is not permissible for a company to form a monopoly on a commodity in the market under any normal business environment. This is not only bad for other industries of the same type, but also bad for the commodity itself. Did you know that there is a company in the United States called Rockefeller? ”

"No, I don't know."

Ou Zihao smiled, "That's something to say!" ”

Luli drank wine, ate all kinds of Western food and refreshments, and listened to Ou Zihao tell him the story of the Rockefeller family, and he didn't realize that time flew by, "...... That's what he did...... Promised? ”

"Of course not. The case eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court, and it took more than 10 years to reach a final decision. The decision was made to break up the Rockefeller Company, the world's first and most famous antitrust law. It has also set a benchmark for anti-monopoly cases around the world in the future. Now you can see the major oil sales companies on the streets of Hong Kong, such as Mobil and Shell. All of them are the products of the company's separation. ”

"I see. That is, if the situation I said could eventually be realized, would I also be intervened by the Hong Kong government because of the monopoly created by my company? ”

"That's right."

"So, if this really happens, and there is a lawsuit, do you think it will be like that American company, entangled for ten years?"

"I don't really understand this. You have to ask frequently ......, frequently! Ou Zihao shouted his niece's name loudly, and did not forget to add a sentence in his busy schedule, "But in my guess, it won't take so long, but it won't be short." ”

Ou Chenli soon appeared at the door of the kitchen, accompanied by her mother, and she had no good words when she saw Lu Li's face. "Why haven't you left yet? Your companions are gone. ”

"Huh?" Lu Li was stunned, and he left. Don't wait for yourself?

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu." Ou Pei Linying explained with a smile: "I know that you and Zihao haven't finished talking about it, so I sent a car to send them back first." If it's too late tonight, you can rest in your room, and tomorrow morning, I'll send you back. ”

"Mommy. What do you say? How can we let him use our guest room? How can this work, he's a very dirty person,......"

Ou Pei Linying was really a little unhappy, and slapped her daughter on the arm, "Frequently." No nonsense! ”

"No, Mrs. Ou, Ling Yan is really not talking nonsense. We mainlanders are very dirty, and the relatives I know, including myself, take a bath only three times in their lives, once by birth, once by marriage, and once by death. As for me, I haven't taken the last two showers! ”

Ou Zihao and a few people were stupid, my God, this is disgusting! How dirty is this person? Look at Luli again, he is already bending down with a smile! So Ou Chenli knew that she had deceived this damn dog again!

After a few laughs, the atmosphere became relaxed, Ou Zihao asked Lu Li's question to the mother and daughter, and when it came to serious things, Ou Chenli no longer frolicked, but listened very carefully, "My second uncle is right, it won't be that long, but it won't be too short." Specifically, it depends on the preparation of materials on the prosecutor's side. For example, if such a case is not opened, once it is started, it will never be closed in a year and a half. Why, what are you asking all this for? ”

"............" Luli shook his head silently, his face desolate. Ou Zihao's words were like pouring cold water on his head, making his coal-like mind become cold, and Ou Pei Linying saw it in her eyes, and her heart was sour. Think about it and feel cruel, a mainlander, come to Hong Kong, where he has no relatives, and want to do a career, he can't provide too much help, and he still pours cold water everywhere?

"Mr. Lu, don't have any intention of retreating before you fight, this kind of thing is inevitable, but even if your business grows as you say, it will be years before the administration realizes that your presence is a bad signal and wants to stop you. I think, according to your mind, within three or five or seven years, it should not be a big problem to earn the money that you will spend all your life. ”

These words of comfort that could only be uttered after a hundred turns and thousands of times were heard in Lu Li's ears, like a lightning bolt in the dark night, which suddenly illuminated the sky, and Lu Li's spirit suddenly lifted, "Mr. Ou, what did you just say?" ”

"I said......" Ou Zihao repeated again, but saw Lu Li laugh, "I understand!" I know what to do! Haha, haha! ”

The Ou family was shocked by his excited look, and after looking at each other for a while, Ou Zihao asked, "Mr. Lu, what did you think of?" ”

"It's ...... I'm sorry I can't tell you. It's not a secret, but right now, it's just a blueprint that exists in my brain, and I don't even know if it's going to happen. But if you can, you should be able to circumvent these problems, Mr. Kaiou......" The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he took up his half-full glass and drank it all, "What a pleasure today! Thank you, Mr. Ou and Mrs. Ou, I have to go back. ”

"Mr. Lu. It's getting late, and if you want to go, why don't I send you back? ”

"No, it's just the right night, I can think about something by myself."

**********************************************

Leaving the Ou family, Luli walked down the mid-mountain area alone. This is a famous wealthy area in Hong Kong, all the residences are similar to the Ou family's villa-style buildings, but the area is large and small, it is very late, most of the homes have turned off the lights and gone to bed, the surroundings are dark, only leather shoes step on the solid asphalt road, making a crisp sound.

Suddenly a bell rang behind him, and he turned his head to look. In the dim light of the street lamp, a man rode a bicycle and staggered over, this is a downhill road, the speed of the car is quite fast, the people on it are probably not skilled, the mouth is screaming, some helpless. Lu Li can see clearly, it is Ou Chenli!

He was in the middle of the road. He grabbed his hand forward and grasped the handlebar. "You...... Why do you come out to ride at this time? ”

"I ...... I forgot to ask you, you said you were going to pay me, but you haven't told me how you're going to pay me? ”

"That's it?" Luli really has nothing to do with this delicate girl, "Your mother also allowed you to come out?" ”

"Don't say I'm Mommy!"

"Well, I won't say it, you can go back. It's dark, it's too dangerous. ”

"Joke, do I still need you? I'm your creditor now, do you want to run away from it? ”

The dislike for Ou Chenli that had gradually faded in Lu Li's heart rippled again, and his face gradually turned solemn. "Miss Ou, what is debt evasion? Maybe you have a lot of friends who like to run away from debt, but you'd better not talk about me with these words! Besides, whether I humiliated you with a cake or you have bad intentions, we just know each other. ”

"You ......" Ou Chenli's eyes gradually reddened, she originally had a deep sense of disgust for Lu Li, but now it has been replaced by some indescribable feelings, she just thinks it is very interesting to be angry with him and tease him like this, even she herself doesn't know what is going on with her! But at this moment, listening to him question himself in a stern tone, his daughter's family was sad and scared, but more aggrieved, "I...... I didn't want to do anything to you, but ...... Is it to ...... Find a way to win you once, who knows you won't let me at all? The louder she spoke, the louder she became, and at last she almost yelled.

"Is this revealing stuffing?" Luli glared at her viciously, "I knew I wasn't wrong. ”

"Yes, what if you read that right?" The words have already been spoken, and she can't be allowed to regret and take it back, Ou Chenli simply doesn't care about that, the eldest lady's temper broke out again, she crossed her waist with one hand, and said triumphantly: "Didn't you lie to me?" When I turned around, I told others that Lu Li was great, he came to Hong Kong alone to break into the world, and finally he was deceived by me! ”

"It's not a big deal if you can deceive me, even if you find out afterwards, you will only think that I am a big man, and I will not see women in general. It doesn't hurt me. ”

"You...... Nonsense! ”

Lu Li sneered a few times, "Miss Ou, I originally came to your birthday party tonight, and I thought you were a little pitiful, but now I know that the so-called poor people must have something hateful, which is really a wise saying!" This sentence could not be more relevant to you! ”

Ou Chenli was furious, pushed the bicycle hard, and looked at her appearance, she was going to hit him with the car, how could Lu Li see these two blows in his eyes, and with a flick of his hand, the bicycle collapsed, "Miss Ou, forget it!" I'm just for your girl's sake, so I can't do anything with you. But you'd better not think I'm scared of you. An impolite and uneducated girl like you, if I tie half of my hands and feet, I can smash you half to death on the spot! If you don't believe me, give it a try? ”

Ou Chenli really didn't dare to move, she had seen Lu Li's power in the ring with her own eyes, so many masters from Southeast Asia and even the United States couldn't withstand a round when they played against him, what are they?

Lu Li pursed his lips disdainfully, ignored Ou Chenli, turned around, and walked away. (To be continued......)
