Chapter 520: The Origin of the "Family Gathering".
Li Chen's helpers became more and more.
In addition to the young people of the same generation in the village who keep returning to join, there are also some "experts" from outside who are also "uninvited".
For example, Guli!
Since Li Chen agreed to hire her as a designer, two days later, she actually drove a car.
Li Chen was not too surprised by her.
After all, although she has not had much contact with this girl, her strong and independent nature impressed Li Chen, and she will not give up until she achieves her goal if she wants to do something!
As for her approach to her true purpose, when her circular ornament had "failed", Li Chen easily used the illusion technique to find out.
Gu Li "tried his best" to get close to herself, and her real purpose was twofold, one was to find out if she was the "master" who saved their mountaineering team on the snowy mountain last time. Another purpose is that she is also very interested in Li Chen himself, and wants to get to know Li Chen up close, and completely get Li Chen's "secret", and when the goal is achieved, she will take the opportunity to avenge the revenge of being "looked at" by Li Chen last time.
Of course, as for how to "retaliate" against Li Chen, she hasn't thought about it yet, and she has to see the actual situation at the time.
In addition to her purpose, Li Chen also learned about some of Gu Li's personal situation, which was similar to what he had learned from Wu Liang before, in addition to the fact that she was a delicate girl from an official family, she really came back from studying in France, or the design gold award, it is also true.
After figuring out these circumstances, Li Chen's wariness towards Gu Li was also diminished by half.
After all, she didn't have any "dangerous" thoughts, as for the things she wanted to know. It's all Li Chen's secret. Li Chen naturally wouldn't leak it to her easily.
In addition, since she really studied design. Then it would be okay to give her a "chance" to give it a try.
What surprised Li Chen was. Gu Li immediately removed a large bag of luggage from the car, and actually wanted to stay here for a long time, which was called "on-site office"!
Li Chen suddenly had a headache.
After all, there are obviously a lot of inconveniences for a girl's family to live here like this.
didn't expect Gu Li to be very smart, and actually took the initiative to "get close" with her sister Li Xue, plus Li Chen did agree to hire her as a designer, so her sister Li Xue was not too "hard-faced", so she had to settle people down well.
Li Chen saw Gu Li's "dead skin and face". It's also gone.
However, he still said to Gu Li first, that is, to see the design effect as soon as possible. To put it bluntly, although I can't fool you, but whether you are a mule or a horse or still have to take a walk, if you don't have real skills, then Li Chen can't accommodate you anymore.
Gu Li seemed to have been prepared for Li Chen's hand, and patted her chest with confidence = assured Li Chen that she would never disappoint Li Chen.
However, she also proposed. Professionally speaking, since it is Li Chen's Wine Castle Manor, Li Chen has the obligation to cooperate with her and let her understand some of Li Chen's main ideas and even existing ideas. In this way, she can design the sample drawing that Li Chen wants.
Li Chen agreed with these things, so he nodded in agreement.
So, after that. Gu Li asked Li Chen this and that from time to time, and at the same time asked Li Chen to take her to visit all the places where the site was selected.
And that's not all. Since Gu Li lived here, she quickly began to expand her "network of contacts". No, he got acquainted with Tao Youran and Gao Liang successively, and later "hooked up" with Narissa and Mary.
It may be because she really went to school in France, Gu Li can talk to Narissa and Mary in French very fluently, Li Chen can't speak French and can't understand what they say, but from her looks, she can see that the three of them quickly became familiar with each other as they communicated.
Piggybacking on her feet, these people actually helped Gu Li intentionally or unintentionally, and even said some good things for her.
Seeing Gu Li's high "emotional intelligence", Li Chen was helpless, but also secretly admired. Don't look at her age, this girl is really good.
However, Li Chen is also waiting to see her sketch, after all, he invited you here not to let you eat and live for nothing, but to ask for real things.
If you can't take it out then, no matter how high your EQ is, then I'm sorry, where do you call and give me back!
In addition to waiting for Gu Li's sketch and being busy with the affairs of the mountain field, Li Chen always had a very important thing in his heart.
That is the matter of going to Yuan's house for a family gathering on New Year's Day.
Old Man Yuan had already gone home a few days ago. After all, there are not many days left until New Year's Day. He said he was going back and getting ready.
Although Old Man Yuan kept saying that it was just a casual family gathering, there were no outsiders, and the whole family was happy, but Li Chen didn't think so.
The Yuan family is not a simple family.
And his current identity is extremely "special"!
How many people, how many pairs of eyes are staring at themselves?
So this kind of occasion undoubtedly has a very important role and significance for Li Chen, and if the performance is good enough, it is all OK, if he loses face, although Yuan Xinyi and Old Man Yuan will not say anything, but from the perspective of himself and his family, he will undoubtedly lose points and lose face.
At that time, it will be difficult to cause any pressure on Yuan Xinyi.
Therefore, Li Chen has already begun to plan in secret, planning how he will deal with this "incident".
And in order to deal with it correctly, it is natural to first understand the "real purpose" of such family gatherings. Only in this way can you be prepared.
But whether it was Yuan Diyi or Yuan Xinyi, Li Chen didn't ask anything, their tone was the same as that of Old Man Yuan, they all said that it was an ordinary family gathering, and they hoped that Li Chen's family would not have any pressure and just participate easily.
But the perceptive Li Chen still sensed that something was not quite right.
In desperation, he cast a heart illusion on Yuan Diyi.
As a result, he was stunned.
The so-called New Year's Day family party turned out to be Mr. Yuan's birthday party.
Originally, it stands to reason that Mr. Yuan's birthday party is naturally going to be a big banquet, with a beautiful scenery and a big uprightness.
But there is an important reason why the Yuan family is so low-key.
Because on this day, it turned out to be the death day of Old Man Yuan's wife, that is, Yuan Diyi and Yuan Xinyi's grandmother.
On the same day about ten years ago, my wife died in the arms of the old man. This is the eternal pain in Old Man Yuan's heart.
He didn't want to have any more birthday parties.
But later, the children and relatives naturally disagreed, so under the unanimous request of everyone, the birthday banquet gradually resumed. Of course, according to the old man's opinion, it is to change the name to a family party, and only invite relatives and friends to have a lively time.
This is the real reason why Old Man Yuan, Yuan Xinyi and Yuan Di are silent. (To be continued......)
