Chapter 67
Zhou Jinxing is also a simple person, after verbally negotiating, he didn't even mention letting Li Shuo sign a guarantee contract, Li Shuo proposed it himself, he also refused, his original words were "I believe in you".
Li Shuo was very moved, he is a person who values love and righteousness, and if others treat him well, he will reciprocate.
He chose to transfer the equity, in fact, there are many considerations, first, he wants to draw a clear line with Zhao Jinxin, second, he wants to compensate Zhou Jinxing, third, after these months of work, he found that he is still more suitable to do the old business, rather than to engage in entertainment, running projects, after preparation, he wants to reinvest in a firm, the scale does not need to be very large, there is a focus on work to maintain life, he will hand over the firm to others to operate, he only follows up important cases, and has more time to spend with his family and enjoy life.
The next day, his parents came back from their hometown with a bunch of sustenances. Li Shuo likes to eat lotus root noodles from an old shop on the edge of the West Lake since he was a child, handmade zuΓ², can only sell three or four catties a day, bought fresh on the same day, put some rock sugar and cook it, smooth and sweet.
As soon as he got home, his mother cooked him a bowl, and Li Shuo praised it while eating, the taste has not changed for more than 20 years.
"Delicious, right? Not only does the taste of your food not change, your mother and I ate it when we were young. Mr. Li carried a few bags and put them at the door, "Li Shuo, these are the specialties brought to Jinxin, and the gifts are still exchanged, you take the time to send them to him." β
Li Shuo let out an "oh".
"When are we going to Sanya?" Mrs. Li said happily, "I bought a lot of clothes." β
"You can go anytime." Li Shuo smiled, "You guys have two days off, how about the day after tomorrow?" β
"Okay."
Mrs. Li went to pack her luggage, and Li Shuo invited his father to the study and told him that he wanted to transfer shares, of course, making up a reasonable reason.
Mr. Li pondered for a moment: "Well, what you said is reasonable, if you really think that it is too much energy, forget it, Jin Xin is now competing with Zhou Jinxing, and it is right not to mix." β
"yes, I don't want to get involved at all, I find that I still like my old job, and I am the most handy to do it."
Mr. Li patted him on the shoulder: "You want to reopen the office, of course I support you, but this time, you must be cautious and cautious, I can understand why you did that back then, but that must be wrong, there is a cause and effect, and it can be regarded as a lesson for you." β
Li Shuo was surprised: "Dad, you know? β
"I see that you were so worried during that time, how could you not care about anything, I asked someone to find out what was going on, but I know that you must want to solve it yourself. Our job is indeed easily tempted, and it is also the easiest to be swept into the quagmire, and the mistakes made when you were young should be used as a wake-up call to hang over your head at all times, and I believe you will not make them again in the future. β
Li Shuo nodded vigorously: "Dad, I won't, thank you for pretending not to know anything at the time." β
Mr. Li smiled: "I don't know you yet, I've been strong since I was a child, and now it's good, there's no need to let work take up so much of my time." β
"Yes, I will spend more time with you in the future."
Father and son looked at each other and smiled.
Li Shuo booked a plane ticket and a hotel, and prepared to take his parents to Sanya for a vacation.
Before leaving, he received a call from the front desk of the office, saying that a person had come to the office to look for him.
"Who?" Li Shuo asked casually.
"Called...... Xu Darui. β
Li Shuo's whole body froze.
ββ¦β¦ Who? β
"Xu Darui, sharp sharp."
Li Shuo's eyebrows were twisted together: "Describe your appearance." β
"In your early fifties, northerners, tall and strong, bald."
Li Shuo took a heavy breath: "You tell him that I don't work in the firm anymore, and don't give him my contact information." β
"Oh, yes." The front desk was obviously curious, but didn't dare to ask anything else.
After hanging up the phone, Li Shuo felt that the frequency of his heart was still a little abnormal.
Xu Darui was the boss of Penghui Real Estate back then. He...... Out of prison?
Li Shuo remembered that he had been sentenced to nine years at the time, and if he had done well in prison, it was normal for him to come out three years early.
What is he looking for himself? Whatever the reason, Li Shuo didn't want to see him again, and he didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
It's just that the appearance of this person made Li Shuo faintly uneasy, perhaps because in just one year, Shao Qun used the old Penghui real estate case to implicate him, almost ruining his career for ten years, and then he wanted to use Xu Darui's nephew, that is, Penghui's legal person, to take revenge on Shao Qun, and finally, Xu Darui himself appeared. He only hoped that the price he paid would make him have nothing to do with Penghui's case from now on, but this series of things developed in the direction of going against his will.
It's useless to think about it, Li Shuo doesn't want to think about it for the time being, he doesn't cause trouble, but he is not afraid of things either, let it be.
He picked up his luggage and went downstairs, and Xiao Chen picked up a family of three and went to the airport.
When he arrived at the airport, Li Shuo pulled Xiao Chen aside: "Xiao Chen, you go back to the office now and ask the little girl at the front desk to find out more about the person who came to me today." β
"Oh, okay, what's wrong?"
"It's an old man, but I don't want to see him, I'm worried that he has other purposes, if he leaves contact information or something, you can go and check it out, but don't alarm him."
"I know Mr. Li, leave it to me, you have a good time."
Li Shuo patted him on the shoulder.
In the afternoon, they flew to Sanya, and Li Shuo booked the same resort he had stayed in before, where he grew his own vegetables, which was very satisfying.
He called the travel agency and booked a driver to take them to the attractions tomorrow. Then he took his mother and bought a bunch of ingredients in the small supermarket in the resort, planning to go back to eat barbecue, where you can buy authentic black pork, Zhou Jinxing had made barbecue for him before, it was particularly delicious.
When I returned to the villa, my father was holding an electric mosquito to beat the mosquitoes, and his movements were very large, and his face was angry, which amused both of them.
A family of three chatted while preparing barbecue, and the atmosphere was so warm.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Li Shuo thought that the waiter had come to deliver the scissors he wanted, so he rushed his hand, tied his apron and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the three members of the Zhao family appeared in front of Li Shuo's eyes without warning, and Li Shuo's eyes were dark.
βsurpriseγβ Zhao Jinxin's face bloomed with the most hearty and beautiful smile.
"You ......," Li Shuo smiled dryly.
"Haha, Li Shuo." Zhao Rongtian laughed loudly, "The company's affairs are just over, Jin Xin said that you guys are having fun here, and we will also come over for a vacation together." β
"Son, have the scissors been delivered?" Mrs. Li walked over curiously, and when she saw them, she smiled in surprise, "Oh, why are you here?" Husband, come here. β
Li Shuo was pushed aside and watched Zhao Jinxin enter the room.
Zhao Jinxin winked at Li Shuo, and whispered quickly in his ear: "I miss you so much." β
Li Shuo pretended not to hear it and went over to entertain the Zhao couple.
"Uncle, aunt, are you cooking barbecue? Coincidentally, the last time we were in Qiandao Lake, the first meal we ate was also barbecue. β
"Yes, Xiao Shuo said that the black pork here is particularly delicious, have you eaten?"
"No, just got off the plane."
"That's right, we bought a lot of food, you guys rest and eat together in a while."
Zhao Jinxin smiled and leaned over to Mrs. Li's side: "I'll help my aunt do it together." β
"No, you can go and rest." Mrs. Li looked at Zhao Jinxin with a smile, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Zhao Jin said sweetly: "I want to give my aunt a hand and see with my own eyes how my aunt marinated the meat so delicious." β
Mrs. Li couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
Li Shuowo was so hot that he had to entertain him with a smile on his face.
There is him Zhao Jinxin everywhere, everywhere!
Mr. Li called the hotel to bring more wine, but he was strictly limited to one bottle of beer by his wife and children, and he was very happy about that.
They eat, drink, and chat by the private pool, and the two families get along.
Li Shuo has been busy going in and out, almost not giving Zhao Jinxin a chance to get close to him, but he was still blocked by Zhao Jinxin when he went to the toilet. As soon as he opened the toilet door, Zhao Jinxin pushed him back and closed the door with his hand.
Li Shuo frowned and said, "There is something you can't say outside." β
"It's time for Uncle Li to run away again." Zhao Jinxin seemed to be in a good mood, squinting his eyes slightly and smiling, "Lelamb, run so fast." β
Li Shuo's face became more and more ugly: "Say whatever you want." β
"The land exchange rights and interests are officially in my hands." Zhao Jinxin was a little proud, "Zhou Jinxing still wanted to pry my corner, but after finding that it was useless, his attitude softened." β
"That's what you're going to say?" Li Shuo said coldly, "That's between you, and it has nothing to do with me." As he spoke, he wanted to push Zhao Jinxin out.
Zhao Jinxin took two steps closer, stretched out his long arm, and trapped Li Shuo between himself and the washstand, he looked at Li Shuo condescendingly, and the tip of his tall nose almost pressed against Li Shuo's face: "How can it have nothing to do with you, I said, this project is for you." β
"I, no, yes." Li Shuo sneered, "I'm not short of money, you expect to impress me with money?" β
"I don't expect to impress you with money, I just want to compensate you for everything, and this hotel project is the compensation for the lost office."
Li Shuo sneered: "Do you really want to make amends? β
Zhao Jinxin nodded seriously.
"So what to compensate, it should be up to me to decide."
Zhao Jinxin looked at him without blinking: "You say." β
"Shao Qun personally apologized to me." Li Shuo looked directly at him.
Zhao Jinxin's face was embarrassed, and his eyes flickered a little.
"Can't do it, can it? Other compensation, it doesn't make sense to me, you better save it. Li Shuo pushed him away, "Don't worry, I'm just talking, the grievances between me and Shao Qun are between us, you saved my father at the beginning, I have sworn that I will not be angry with you because of Shao Qun, one yard is one yard, I Li Shuo can distinguish clearly, so I don't need any compensation from you." Li Shuo thought about it for a while, and then sighed, "What nonsense am I talking to you." β
Li Shuo was about to walk out of the bathroom.
Zhao Jinxin suddenly hugged him from behind, Li Shuo was startled, and just as he was about to resist, Zhao Jinxin gently bit his neck and whispered: "Uncle Li, you are really good at torturing people, let me hug it, just a moment...... I charge it. β
Li Shuo was silent for two seconds, but he still broke free from Zhao Jinxin's embrace and walked out of the bathroom.
Two old couples and old wives were holding wine glasses and dancing to the music by the pool, Li Shuo looked through the glass window, and the corners of his lips gradually raised a faint smile.
They ate and played, and the family pie lasted until ten o'clock.
Zhao Rongtian and his wife were about to go back to rest, but Zhao Jinxin said: "Mom, I just went back to get your shawl for you, and found that you didn't close the window, and now the house is full of mosquitoes." β
"Oops, did I forget to turn it off?"
"Yes, there are trees and water here, which are especially mosquito-friendly, and now there is no way to treat people in the house." Zhao Jinxin smiled at Li Shuo and said, "Brother Li, there are exactly four rooms here, let's rest here first, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep tonight." β
Li Shuo opened his mouth and didn't say anything, Zhao Jinxin came too suddenly, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while.
Mr. Li said: "Okay, you can sleep here, if you want me to say that you have returned the set you rented, four or five thousand a night, why waste money." β
"Yes, there are just enough rooms here, and it's too wasteful to rent another one." Zhao Rongtian nodded and said, "Jin Xin, you will retire over there tomorrow." β
"Okay."
Li Shuo dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
When he went to bed at night, Li Shuo directly locked the door.
He washed up and prepared to go to bed, when his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and because of the project during this time, he had contacted a lot of people, so he didn't think much about it, so he answered the phone: "Hey, hello." β
ββ¦β¦ Li Shuo? β
Li Shuo was stunned, the voice on the other end of the phone was so familiar......
"Brother Li, is that you?"
Li Shuo felt his scalp tingle, he secretly let out a sigh of relief, and said calmly, "It's me." β
"I'm your Brother Xu, Xu Darui, do you remember?"
"Yes." Li Shuo leaned in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dark seascape outside with a heavy face.
Xu Darui was silent for a while: "I went to your office today, and I found out that you quit, I know it's because my nephew ......"
"Brother Xu, forget about the past." Li Shuo's voice was unwavering.
ββ¦β¦ Li Shuo, I'm sorry for you. β
"I said, the past is over, Brother Xu, congratulations on your free body now, and live a good life in the future."
"Hey, how to live well, I don't have anything now." Xu Darui's voice was full of sadness.
After many years, Li Shuo's impression of this person is not the appearance of dejection in the courtroom, but the big boss with a loud voice, a high tone and a sense of righteousness.
Now the owner of this voice is just a middle-aged man who has just been released from prison and is empty-handed.
Li Shuo felt extremely uncomfortable, but he really didn't want to have anything to do with this person, he said softly: "Brother Xu, it's not too late to start, you still have a family, for them, you have to cheer up." β
Xu Darui said in a trembling voice: "Family? Hehe, the dead are dead, the ones are leaving, and my daughter refuses to see me. β
Li Shuo is like a fish in his throat.
"Brother, I'll call you......" Xu Darui said quickly, "I won't ink anymore, just say it directly, can you lend me some money." β
Li Shuo had already guessed, he was silent for a while: "Brother Xu, I can lend you money, and I don't need you to pay it back, we had a relationship in the past, although everything was wrong later...... I ......," he gritted his teeth, "I hope you can promise that you won't contact me again in the future." β
Xu Darui was silent again, and after a while, he smiled bitterly twice, and his smile was gloomy and cold: "Okay, I won't dare to disturb you in the future." β
Li Shuo lightly covered his eyes with his hands, his heart was uncomfortable, and he said in a dumb voice: "How much do you need." β
ββ¦β¦ Two hundred thousand. β
