Chapter 109: The Shi Family (1)
"Pink Beauty" was grandly opened before the Lunar New Year, which attracted a lot of people's attention, although Li Dan is the boss, but in line with the low-key policy of being a man and doing things, he has always been behind the scenes.
When it was time to go in normal times, I would nest in Pink Pretty all day long, studying behind Avril. And Avril is also very personable, and she didn't feel any unhappiness because of Li Dan's constant watching, but when she had time, she also instructed Li Dan on how to manage it. So with the deliberate efforts of both parties, Li Dan and Avril have a very good relationship.
And Li Dan also learned the details of Avril. She is a professional manager specially poached by Shi Jinlei from foreign high-tech, she has served as a manager of enterprises in many countries, and these companies are more or less inextricably related to beauty.
Avril was able to come to China to work, in addition to the high-tech given by Shi Jinlei, but also because she has been spying on the Chinese market for a long time, and this time she was able to come and give her the opportunity to practice.
In Li Dan's eyes, Avril is a very professional professional manager, who has unique insights in managing the company's daily affairs and developing markets. Another important point is that her professional ethics make Li Dan very relieved.
Li Dan was sitting in his office, looking at a document, which mainly contained the information on membership in "Pink Beauty" since its opening.
"Pink Beauty" and the Shangpin Club take the same boutique route, both of which are membership-based. Under the successful operation of Avril, "Pink Beauty" is already a little famous in the rich circle, which can be seen from the books.
Bell bell bell ......
Li Dan put down the file. Pick up your phone.
"Hey ......"
"Dandan, Happy New Year!" Wang Juan's cheerful voice came from the phone.
"Happy New Year!" Li Dan bent his mouth and smiled, "But Juanzi, today is the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, is it okay, can't you pay a New Year's greeting on the first day of the new year, even if it is early, it will be thirty nights." ”
"Hehe, didn't I happen to be idle now, so I called you, if I wait for the evening, I'm afraid that I will forget about you when I am busy." Wang Juan put the phone to her ear. Nestled up on the couch.
"Rest assured. I'm sure I'll never forget you. Li Dan said with a smile.
"You're at home by yourself, and you really won't be back this year?" Wang Juan didn't know how many times she had asked.
Li Dan rolled his eyes slightly, "Don't ask nonsense, it's thirty today." Even now I can't go back even if I want to. So stop talking nonsense. ”
"Cut. I don't know the hearts of good people, I'm not afraid that you will be lonely over there. Even if you don't want to go home, you can go back to W City. Anyway, this is also a place that we are familiar with, and I can also find you to play at any time, which is like now, I can only contact by phone. Wang Juan is still not very worried that Li Dan is alone over there, Li Dan has not gone home for the New Year in the past two years, she went to play with Li Dan on the first day of the New Year, but she was afraid that Li Dan would be lonely and lonely during the New Year, but now that Li Dan is not coming back, she is beyond her reach.
"Okay, I got your wishes, but I'm not lonely at all, I'm very happy to be here for the New Year, you know." Li Dan leaned back and leaned back on the back of the chair, so that Wang Juan reminded her that she remembered Li Zhanguo's family again, thinking that since she came to Beijing to go to school, she seemed to have left that family behind and almost forgotten it.
Wang Juan nodded understandingly on the other end of the phone, remembered the incident of the previous two days, and hurriedly reported to Li Dan.
"By the way, Dandan, Li Yang came to me two days ago and asked me your address."
Li Dan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "You told her?" ”
"No, I know you hate them, how can you tell her. However, Li Yang didn't look very good, and said that even if I didn't tell her, she could also go to No. 4 Middle School to inquire, and then she would know which school you were admitted to. Wang Juan was a little worried, if Li Yang really wanted to find Li Dan, it would not be difficult. After all, Li Dan's college entrance examination results are so good, and everyone knows about it in No. 4 Middle School, even if Li Dan's homeroom teacher doesn't tell her, she will definitely be able to ask if she asks the old student casually.
The questions that Wang Juan can think of, Li Dan can also think of, but Li Dan has always believed that it is a blessing or a curse that cannot be avoided, since Li Yang wants to find her, then she believes that she will definitely be able to see Li Yang in the near future.
"Whatever she wants, if she really looks for me, she will definitely be able to find her, don't worry about her."
"Hehe, after I came back, what gossip did you hear me?" Wang Juan smiled very evilly.
"Do you still need to guess, it must be my family." Li Dan rolled his eyes again, the one he made must be a bad friend.
"That's right, it's your family. Dandan, you don't know, your family's affairs are now rumored on our farm, there are various versions, I analyzed and summarized and confirmed with my mother, one of which is the most reliable. ”
Li Dan just listened here, but didn't speak.
"Isn't the little widow your dad looking for outside pregnant, your dad didn't want to divorce at first, but then I don't know what happened, your mother and the little widow fought together, the little widow almost had a miscarriage, and then she was finally saved in the hospital, and it was confirmed that the one in the womb was a boy. Then your dad filed for divorce with your mom. You know your mother, why don't you get a divorce, and later you went to the factory leader. But this time your dad is determined to divorce, no one can say it, and then your mother dragged it out for various reasons, I heard that your sister has no one to want now, your mother said, if your dad divorces her, she will ask for the house and money, and don't ...... anything else."
Li Dan slowly put down the phone and exhaled, how correct was her decision to stay away from there, now she was so far away, when she heard those bad things at home, she was still very irritable, if she was still in W City, she would definitely be pulled into it by them.
Li Dan thought that today was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the last day of the year, shook his head, left the annoying people and things behind, and carried his bag home.
Everything was ready at home, even if it was just herself, and she had to prepare a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for herself, she told herself. Gotta live better.
Shi Jinlei drove back to the old house, parked the car, and walked home with a leisurely pace.
The door was opened by the nanny, and there were already a lot of people sitting in the living room, young and old.
"Little four, why is it so late, the whole family is waiting for you." Shi Jinlei's sister-in-law saw the people coming in at the door, and stood up with a smile on her face. Pull people to you, like a mother, and look left and right.
Shi Jinlei pulled the corners of his mouth at her, and he smiled. "Sister-in-law. When did you guys come back? ”
"The plane in the morning, also just arrived. Look at you, are you thin again, and you haven't eaten well. Li Aiping treats this little uncle like his own child. Shh
"Yo. Who's back? What a rarity. ”
Here Li Aiping was still nagging and asking this and that, and a slightly sharp young female voice came from the living room.
Li Aiping hurriedly grabbed Shi Jinlei and whispered: "Little four." Today's New Year, we are all happy, and it will be smooth in the next year, so we don't care about those shallow people. ”
Shi Jinlei glanced down at his sister-in-law and nodded in accordance with her meaning. It's just that when he comes back for a meal, he really doesn't look at some people and gets angry with them, that's to give them face.
"Jiajia, how do you speak, that's you Brother Lei, hurry up and say hello, it's a little polite." There was a middle-aged woman next to her who looked lovingly at the young girl who was talking, and her mouth was counting, but everyone could hear it, and there was no preaching in it.
"Hmph, people don't hesitate to ignore me, why should I go up and find me uncomfortable." The girl named Jiajia muttered quietly, but everyone could hear the sound clearly.
Shi Jinlei pretended not to hear it, and greeted his relatives on the sofa one by one.
From the left is Shi Jinlei's eldest brother Shi Jintao, who is forty-five years old this year, and the person who just talked to Shi Jinlei is his sister-in-law Li Aiping, who is forty-three years old this year, and next to him is their son Shi Yan, who is twenty years old this year. On the right is the third brother Shi Jinyuan and the third sister-in-law Zhou Li, Shi Jinyuan is forty this year, and Zhou Li is one year older than Shi Jinyuan, forty-one years old this year. Next to her is their daughter Shi Huan, who is sixteen years old this year.
Sitting in the middle is Shi Jinlei's father Shi Yongzhi, who is sixty-seven years old this year, next to his second wife Yin Jie, who is twenty-two years younger than him, and the young girl just now is sitting on the other side of Shi Yongzhi, who is wrapping Shi Yongzhi's hand and coquettish.
Don't get me wrong, this girl has no blood relationship with Shi Jinlei, her name is Yin Jiajia, she is twenty-three years old this year, and she is Yin Jie's niece.
Since Yin Jie married Shi Yongzhi, she has not come out, so she has taken Yin Jiajia with her since she was a child, and it can be said that Yin Jiajia grew up in the old mansion of the Shi family, and she is more popular than Shi Jinlei, the real Shi family.
"Hello uncle."
The one who spoke was Shi Qi, the son of Shi Jinhao, the second eldest of the Shi family, who is nineteen years old this year.
"Well, aren't your parents coming back today?" Shi Jinlei has a good impression of this nephew, so he is kind and pleasant when he even speaks.
Shi Jinlei's second brother Shi Jinhao is forty-three years old this year, and is currently the secretary of the provincial party committee of H province, so he is the busiest during the Chinese New Year every year, and goes everywhere to comfort the working people who stick to the front line.
The second sister-in-law, Wang Hanyu, accompanies Shi Jinhao every year, but every year she lets her son Shi Qi come back first, which can be regarded as filial piety for them.
"Well, my dad is going down to the grassroots to condole, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until the fifth day of the new year." Shi Qi is accustomed to his father not being able to go home for the New Year, it can be said that since he was a child, he has not spent the New Year with his parents several times.
Shi Jinlei nodded understandingly.
"It's really getting more and more unruly, I don't know how to scream when I see people, Bai is so old, and it's not as strong as your nephews and nieces." Shi Yongzhi looked at his youngest son, who he hadn't seen a few times a year, blowing his beard and glaring.
"Don't be angry, old man, pay attention to your blood pressure, they are all children, just teach them slowly." Yin Jie hurriedly stretched out her hand to touch Shi Yongzhi's chest to give him relief.
"That's right, uncle, the doctor said that your blood pressure is unstable, so you can't be angry." Yin Jiajia also obediently helped Yin Jie persuade beside her.
This kind of situation often occurs in the Shi family, so the Shi family should not have seen or heard, should have nagged, should have watched TV and watched TV, even Shi Jinlei should have not heard it, and chatted with Shi Qi about the recent situation.
It's okay that no one persuades this, but when someone persuades, the old man is like a child, and he gets up endlessly.
"I talked to you, I didn't hear you, hum, at such an age, what else can you do besides being able to play at home? All day long idle and not doing business. The old man couldn't see that others didn't take him seriously, so he was annoyed when he saw Shi Jinlei's inappropriate attitude.
"Okay, okay, the child finally came back once, you can dissipate your anger, don't ship it." Yin Jie looked at Shi Jinlei and then at the old man, as if he was very embarrassed, and had to persuade him.
"What kind of child, how old is he, several years older than Jiajia, look at Jiajia, a girl, what is not better than him......"
Shi Jin stood up from the sofa abruptly.
Li Aiping next to him hurriedly took his hand and looked at him anxiously.
Shi Jintao looked at his lover, exhaled, eased the expression on his face, patted Li Aiping's hand, and then called Shi Jinlei to go out together.
"Little Four, come with me."
Shi Jinlei nodded expressionlessly with Li Aiping, and then walked out of the living room without looking back.
There was a moment of silence in the living room, Shi Yongzhi looked at him and didn't give him face, and the two sons who left together blew their beards and stared at each other, but there was no way. Yin Jie next to him pulled the old man to persuade him, but the corners of his mouth were faintly upturned. Yin Jiajia is also begging and behaving vigorously, as if there is no one around.
Li Aiping and his son Shi Yan looked at each other for a moment, and then twisted their faces.
Li Aiping got up from the sofa and said softly to everyone: "The family is almost back, I'll go to the kitchen to see how Sister Ma's food is doing, Jinyuan, Xiaoli, you talk first." ”
Without waiting for everyone's answer, Li Aiping stepped on elegant steps and fled to the kitchen.
"Mom, you wait for me, I'll help you." Shi Yan didn't want to watch the show here anymore, so he also chose to live in the kitchen like his mother.
Zhou Li stopped talking to her daughter Shi Huan, and pouted at Li Aiping's departing back, what's the use of being such a big official, it's still so unacceptable.
Shi Jinyuan didn't see these things, just sitting on the sofa watching and smiling and drinking tea.
Then the few women left in the living room acted as if nothing had happened just now, Yin Jie and Zhou Li chatted about the big and small things that happened at home and outside the house this year, and Yin Jiajia and Shi Huan chatted about where there was fun in the capital and where the clothes looked good.
