After pouring him another cup of tea, Li Le diverted the topic and asked, "Dad, how did you do in Wuhan, is it going well?"

"Do you think it will go well? I'm tired enough these days, but the company has initially stabilized, so I don't have time to come back and implement your girlfriend's school by the way! Tang Chongming took a sip of tea and felt a lot more comfortable before responding to Li Le's words.

Seeing him mention Liu Yunyao's schooling, Li Le also hurriedly asked, "Have you found a school?"

"Almost, take her over tomorrow to see, whether she goes to school before the year or after the year is up to her."

"That's okay, Ming'er will take the time to go together."

Later, Li Le and Tang Chongming chatted about the recent situation, and learned that he made an inkstone for Old Man Li, and only told Li Le to do it with his heart.

This time, he only stayed for a few days and left, and there were still many things to be handled by the newly established company.

On the morning of the next day, he took Li Le and Liu Yunyao to complete the admission, which is a key university. Liu Yunyao's opinion is to wait until next year to come back to school, and she wants to accompany him more while Li Le is still there. After all, once Li Le goes to XJ's side, the two will basically belong to the kind that rarely meets once a year.

In the next few days, Li Le would take a little time out every day to go to Tang Chongming to learn some management knowledge from him. This is what Tang Chongming requested, although I don't know what Li Le's achievements will be in the future, there is no harm in learning these things.

If Li Le can really make the business bigger, and then there is a lack of experience in this area, it will really become a problem.

Knowing that Tang Chongming was for his own good, Li Le also studied very hard. For the key points mentioned by Tang Chongming, he would take a small notebook and write them down carefully.

Tang Chongming has been engaged in company management for more than 20 years, and these experiences can be said to be his personal experience, which is more practical and useful than any theoretical knowledge.

At this moment, there is no news of Li Tiannan going to the origin of Duanyan stone, which just allows him to be free and calm down to learn these things.

What Tang Chongming talked about was basically about the management of personnel, and he didn't say a word about business, after all, it didn't match Li Le's. And before telling it, he also told Li Le that these things just provide a reference for him, and he doesn't need to blindly copy the past.

Li Le recognized this very much, and the management system of the jewelry company he worked for in later generations was basically a very perfect one. However, the management system of later generations, although it is much more advanced than this era, lacks a human touch, and does not meet the wishes of Li Le's heart.

Therefore, for Tang Chongming's experience, he is more to learn from, and then according to his own ideas, build a management system that belongs to the one he hopes to achieve.

When Tang Chongming talked to him about management, Li Le would also express his views appropriately. There was nothing in the first sentence or two, but after saying too much, even Tang Chongming gradually began to think.

Whenever this happens, Li Le will always stop talking and not disturb him.

And Tang Chongming would always spit out two words after thinking for a long time, "Go on!" ”

Seeing that Tang Chongming seemed to be a little interested, Li Le continued to speak. After all, the management experience of later generations has been gradually precipitated through the changes of the times. Tang Chongming only felt a little novel at first, but after thinking about it, he felt more and more that it was like that, and even later he had a feeling of amazement.

These experiences are undoubtedly valuable to him, and many things can be directly used by himself with a slight adaptation. When I benefited a lot, I was also very surprised that Li Le understood this.

"You thought of it all for yourself?"

"Sort of, people who usually have nothing to do always think about these questions." Li Leke didn't dare to tell him that he had traveled from the afterlife, so he had to make up a lie.

Hearing this, Tang Chongming's eyes when he looked at Li Le also became a little different. And the experience has gradually evolved into a way of talking and discussing with each other and learning from each other.

He instilled old-fashioned management ideas for Li Le, while Li Le constantly explained new things to him, and under the combination of the two, both parties felt that they had gained a lot.

A few days later, the day of Tang Chongming's departure finally came. He didn't say too much when he parted, he just gave Li Le a big hug. All the feelings are extremely pinning, and Li Le can feel Tang Chongming's reluctance and concern from that hug.

The relationship between the two has reached this point, and it can be regarded as a real father and son!

In the days after Tang Chongming left, Li Le's life returned to a normal track. Ran Hongling and Xu Changqing proposed the idea of going home to Li Le within a few days. Li Le didn't stop anything from this, after all, there is still more than a month to go before the New Year, and it is normal for people to want to go home.

When sending them away, Li Le deliberately took the money and gave 10,000 yuan each. After all, it's going home for the New Year, and it will always look better with some money on your body, and buying something for the old people is a thought.

Xu Changqing didn't refuse much, but Ran Hongling thought that he hadn't done anything, and resolutely refused to ask for the money, and repeatedly shirked and Liu Yunyao's persuasion to let him accept it.

In the following days, the villa seemed to be a lot deserted, and the birthday of the old man of the Li family was approaching day by day. There is still no news from Li Tiannan's side, and he can't even get through, I don't know if there is no signal in some mountainous area.

With only the last eight days left, when Li Le was a little anxious, he called and said that he had found the material, which was a piece of blue, white and green, and was hurrying back.

Seeing this situation, Li Le couldn't help but estimate the time, and when he got the stone, there was basically only one week left, and it was really difficult to complete the inkstone in such a short time.

When Li Tiannan arrived, he was still carrying a duffel bag, and it seemed that he had just gotten off the plane and rushed over, and the first thing he said when he saw Li Le was to ask: "Is there enough time left?"

For a week, Li Le didn't know if he could finish it, so he could only tell him to do it as much as he could. This kind of thing, he didn't dare to pack a ticket, if he couldn't complete it, wouldn't it be a loss of credibility.

In this regard, Li Tiannan has nothing to say, after all, it was the stone that had problems first, and Li Le was no wonder, so he just asked Li Le to try his best to make it before the old man's birthday.

Then he continued: "This piece of material is not particularly pure, with a little impurities. Time is pressing, I can only find this one, you can see if it works. ”

With that, he opened his suitcase and handed over the stone.

I saw that the stone was mixed with earthy yellow spots and a gray-white ribbon of impurities. After looking at Le for a while, Li Le said: "As long as there is no problem inside, this thing makes the inkstone more perfect!"

"Is that true?"

"Hmmm! Leave it to me, and I promise you to do your best. ”

"Then everything is please, I'll go back and rest first, I'm tired enough these days. Just give me a call when you're done! ”

After Li Tiannan left, Li Le immediately started cutting the stone, and now there is really not much time left for him, he can only try his best to speed up each step, as for whether it can be completed before Old Man Li's birthday, it is only fate!

For a whole week, Li Le basically ate and slept in the studio. Liu Yunyao knew that things were a little urgent, so except for delivering food, Li Le was left to work there alone and not bother.

The day before the old man's birthday, Li Tiannan called to inquire about the progress of the inkstone. And this week's struggle has made the production of the inkstone almost finished, but the details are still not in time after all, at least it will not come out at noon tomorrow.

Li Tiannan couldn't say anything about such a result, and after repeatedly thanking him, he asked Li Le to contact him as soon as he finished it tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Li Le devoted himself to the last few processes of inkstone production. He is going to rush all night tonight, and strive to get out before the old man's birthday at noon tomorrow.

The next day, the Li family.

At this moment, it was close to eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and the entire compound was already full of people. The Li family, whether it is the older generation or the younger generation, has basically gathered together.

From nine o'clock in the morning, there is a steady stream of visitors. Most of them are people in the army, there are old man's comrades-in-arms, and at the same time in the past, there is also a hand-picked Li family.

The huge interpersonal relationship almost trampled the threshold of the Li family!

Under the gathering of the crowd, the Li family was naturally very lively, and the juniors who welcomed the guests were busy since the morning, and basically did not stop.

The visitors basically know the old man's hobbies, and the inkstone as a congratulatory gift is readily visible.

gD Zhaoqing's Duan inkstone, ah's She inkstone, gs's Tao inkstone, sX's Chengni inkstone, the four famous inkstones are basically gathered together, and the most precious is the best purple inkstone. This is from the second grandson of Mr. Li, whether it is in the carving skills, or the quality of the inkstone, it is already at the top.

When the old man saw Biyan, he was naturally very happy in his heart, and his wish for many years was finally realized. I saw that the inkstone was held in the old man's hand and watched for a while before putting it down.

The old man's second grandson is named Li Tianshuo, and now he is a regimental-level figure in the heB Military Region, and he is quite good among the juniors.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Tiannan was still empty-handed, and Li Tianshuo even sarcastically said in front of everyone: "Tiannan, what about the gift you gave to grandpa?" Today is grandpa's birthday, isn't it too good, waiting for the last to take it out? ”

Hearing this, Li Tiannan's heart couldn't help but choke with anger, this Li Tianshuo always seems to be aimed at himself, but he has a chance to perform in front of the old man, so he is absolutely indispensable.

"We'll have to wait a bit." After Li Tiannan finished speaking, while he was depressed in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly worry about when Li Le would be able to do a good job.

Li Tianshuo seemed to feel that it was not enough, and when he saw that the old man liked the inkstone he gave him abnormally, he introduced a person around him by the way, "Grandpa, this inkstone is made by the master Guo Zimo next to me, and he admires you very much, so I also took the liberty to bring him to you today to celebrate your birthday!" ”

Hearing this, Old Man Li immediately showed a happy look, "It's rare that you have this heart, I really like this inkstone, and I also want to see the person who made it!" ”

Then the old man pulled Guo Zimo and chattered a few words. Suddenly, I saw an expression of great honor on Guo Zimo's old face.

Under Li Tianshuo's instructions, he completely lowered his posture today, not only modest and abnormal, but also promised the old man that as long as there are requirements in the future, he will achieve it, and immediately made the old man laugh happily and heartily, and said three good words in a row.

Such a promise not only made the old man have a good impression of him, but also praised Li Tianshuo a few times.

Seeing the opportunity, he began to shoot at Li Tiannan, "Tiannan, what about the gift you gave to grandpa?" Are you really going to secretly give it to grandpa, so that we won't enjoy it? ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately turned his gaze to Li Tiannan's body, "Nan'er, what is your gift?" Is it also an inkstone? ”

"If it's an inkstone, I think Tiannan must be afraid that it won't be as good as me, so I'm embarrassed to take it out, right? Tiannan! ”

Li Tiannan was a little speechless for a moment, this Li Tianshuo really likes to find trouble, and his face is really thick. Under the surging anger, he suddenly couldn't care when Li Le would finish it, "My inkstone is estimated to have to wait for a while, and now it is being processed in the hands of a master carver." As for the side that can't compare to you, it's hard to say! ”

"What's wrong with this, it's still being processed, I don't think you have any sincerity!" Listening to Li Tiannan's words, Li Tianshuo immediately smiled contemptuously.

Li Tiannan was about to refute, but the phone rang suddenly, and when he saw that the screen was called by Li Le, he couldn't help but be sure in his heart, "My inkstone is ready, the master carver will be able to come over in a while, I'll answer the phone first." ”

After listening to this, Old Man Li said: "Later, when you bring that master carver in, I also want to see what kind of person you admire so much."

And Li Tianshuo interjected again, "Master carving? Guo Lao is already the Taishan Beidou in this industry, in front of him, who can be called a master? Tiannan won't be deceived, Ren You's role as a three-legged cat has fooled you! ”

Hearing this, Old Man Li also frowned, "Shuo'er, how can you talk like this?" ”

Seeing the old man's expression, Li Tianshuo also knew that his words just now were a little too arrogant, so he immediately explained: "Grandpa, it's not that grandchildren who mean this, inkstone making is not so simple, if that person had a heart, he wouldn't have finished it until now, I'm afraid Tiannan was really deceived!"

Seeing Li Tianshuo being so sarcastic, Li Tiannan, who finished the call, was immediately angry, "You haven't seen people's carving skills, why do you deny people so much?" Besides, people saved Siyun once! As he spoke, he turned his head to Old Man Li, "Grandpa, do you remember that Li Le?" It's the inkstone he carved for you. It was a problem with the stone given to him by his grandson that delayed the progress. ”

Hearing this name, Li Tianshuo was even more sneering. He had also heard about Li Le, but he was only a hairy boy in his early twenties.

Carving a line, very long work and not fine, a person in his early twenties can be exquisite. When even sneered: "If you say that you are an old person, I can still believe that even a hairy boy of one or twenty years old can be worthy of the title of master?"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Tiannan wouldn't have believed that Li Le would have such carving skills, but from the turquoise inkstone carving, he could be sure that Li Le's carving skills were definitely not inferior to the so-called master Guo Zimo, and even better.

So when he heard Li Tianshuo's words, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, "You mean that if you are young, you must have poor skills?" In my opinion, his skills are even better than what you are talking about! ”

As soon as these words came out, Guo Zimo immediately replied: "I have been engaged in the carving industry for decades, although I dare not call myself a master, but if I am not as good as a hairy boy as you said, I don't need to continue to mix in this industry."

After Li Tiannan heard this, he snorted, "If Li Le's carving skills are really better than you, what do you say?" ”

"If he can really compare to me, I will meet him in the future and call him a master!"

"That's what you said, don't go back!" At this moment, the phone rang again, and after connecting it, Li Tiannan knew that Li Le had gone to the doorman of the military compound according to the address he had just given.

"I will do what I say, and I will never go back!" After Li Tiannan hung up the phone, Guo Zimo also said categorically. Looking at that look, it seems that he doesn't believe that a hairy boy in his twenties can still surpass himself in this skill.

Seeing his confident look, Li Tiannan didn't bother to argue with him for something, and even said to the old man, "He's already here, I'll go out and bring him in first!" When it comes to winning or worse, let the big guy judge it! ”

The old man nodded lightly, and Li Tiannan hurriedly walked out of the door!
