Chapter 19: Confession
Xu Li was the last to walk into the study and closed the door with her hand.
Li Yan pointed to the sofa opposite and said with a smile, "You both sit down." ”
After Xu Li and Li Feng both sat down on the sofa, Li Yan spoke: "Xu Li, I know everything you said to Li Feng that day, but I didn't expect that you would look at the problem so long-term, I really underestimated you before." ”
Xu Li smiled: "I didn't actually say anything, everything is the embodiment of Li Feng's own ability." ”
Li Yan smiled: "You are too modest, you have a clear view of the general trend of the development of Hon Hai Factory, and even the general trend of the development of the entire machinery manufacturing industry, Xu Li, you are not simple!" ”
Xu Li said modestly: "Director Li, you are too awarded, I really didn't say anything, and I didn't say as much as you said, probably because I have been in the workshop of the factory for a long time, so I can see the other side behind the appearance that you leaders can't see." ”
Li Yan said with a smile: "Anyway, now that the situation in Hon Hai Factory has turned from crisis to safety, you have made a great contribution!" Come, tea! ”
Li Yan handed the teacup to Xu Li, who smiled and held it with both hands.
Xu Li said: "That means that Minister Shen has vetoed Hon Hai Plant's decision to purchase foreign equipment?" ”
Li Yan smiled: "Before, it was Liu Dong who came forward to promote this matter, but in fact, the real mastermind behind the scenes was Jiang Jianguo. But now, Liu Dong has been placed on file for investigation, so in order to avoid suspicion, it is impossible for Jiang Jianguo, the old fox, to blatantly promote the purchase of foreign equipment, not to mention, although Minister Shen did not make a direct decision, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Minister Shen is more inclined to focus on self-research and development, rather than relying on foreign technology. ”
Li Feng interjected: "If Liu Dong had reported the progress of Hon Hai Factory's own R&D equipment to Minister Shen, there would have been no current situation at all. Fortunately, Minister Shen came in person, otherwise, Liu Dong and Jiang Jianguo would have succeeded. ”
Xu Li smiled: "I don't understand what you said, I just know that everything has to rely on yourself and others, even if you can barely survive, it won't last long." ”
Li Yan smiled approvingly: "Xiao Xu, don't look at your young age, your ideological consciousness is still very high!" It's a pity that you left Hon Hai Factory too early, and it was too hasty! ”
Xu Li smiled bitterly. Where is her high ideological consciousness, these great truths are realized by the years of hard work she has eaten in the Jiang family.
The three of them were chatting when they heard a knock on the door.
Li Yan shouted "Enter".
The door was pushed open, and Wang Meng walked in with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Li, Brother Li Feng, Auntie called you to eat!"
"Good!" Li Yan stood up and patted Xu Li's shoulder with a smile, "Xiao Xu, let's go, let's eat!" ”
When Wang Meng saw this scene, he felt a little unhappy. In the past, Li Yan would only be so amiable to her, but she didn't expect that this Xu Li and Li Yan hadn't known each other for a long time, so they were so pleasing to Li Yan.
At the dinner table, Wang Meng, Li Yan and He Chunxia chatted very warmly, what art, music, economy, no matter what the topic, Wang Meng can chat with Li Yan and He Chunxia.
Xu Li knew that her education level was limited, so she just lowered her head to eat, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
The same person who didn't say a word was Li Feng, he could feel Xu Li's embarrassment, if he knew that his mother would call Wang Meng today, he would say that he wouldn't let Xu Li come.
Li Feng is not a fool, he knows his mother very well, just as his mother knows him. Of course, he knew that He Chunxia called Wang Meng to demonstrate to Xu Li, so that Xu Li would retreat and not attack him. But the problem is that now he is chasing Xu Li, but Xu Li didn't agree at all.
Thinking of this, Li Feng smiled helplessly, but was noticed by Wang Meng.
Wang Meng looked at Li Feng and asked with a smile: "Brother Li Feng, what is so funny, let's hear it." ”
Xu Li also raised her head and looked at Li Feng, also with a curious expression.
Li Feng thought for a while and said with a smile: "I think of a colleague in the factory, he likes a girl in the factory, but the girl didn't agree to his pursuit, but his mother doesn't want him to like this girl, but wants him to like the girl she likes......"
He Chunxia immediately heard Li Feng's voice. Everything was as she expected, Li Feng, a stinky boy, really fell in love with Xu Li's girl.
He Chunxia didn't want Li Feng to continue, so as not to make Wang Meng distracted, so she immediately interrupted with a smile: "What's so funny about this, your laughter is really low!" Mengmeng, come, Auntie will clip you a piece of your favorite braised pork! ”
"Thank you, Auntie!" Wang Meng smiled sweetly at He Chunxia, and then glanced at Xu Li and Li Feng, feeling suspicious.
Li Feng can't be talking about his own business, right...... No way! How could Li Feng look down on a girl like Xu Li? If Xu Li was educated, cultivated and educated, then Li Feng might really have a good impression of her, but with her understanding of Li Feng for so many years, Li Feng is not the kind of vulgar man who will be attracted by women's skins at all, so it is impossible to be interested in Xu Li at all.
But the question is, why is she so nervous?
The more Wang Meng thought about it, the more suspicious he became, especially when he saw Xu Li find an excuse to leave early after dinner, Li Feng actually offered to send Xu Li home. She and Li Feng have known each other for so many years, and every time He Chunxia proposes to let Li Feng send her, Li Feng will send it, and she has never seen him offer to drive her home.
He Chunxia frowned and said, "Wang Meng's house is farther away than Xu Li's home, otherwise, Xu Li, you are wronged and take a taxi home, is it okay?" ”
Xu Li knew what He Chunxia meant, and she smiled very knowingly and said, "Of course you can!" Sister Wang Meng's home lives so far away, I can take the bus back. ”
He Chunxia smiled: "Take a taxi!" It's so late, how can I let you take the bus? Zhou's mother! Bring me my wallet! ”
Xu Li hurriedly excused herself and said, "Auntie, no need, I have money, so let's do it first, I'll go first!" Director Li, Aunt He, Sister Wang Meng, goodbye! ”
Li Feng hurriedly said, "I'll send you!" ”
Xu Li pushed and said: "Li Gong, I really don't need to, I'll go back by myself, you accompany me back, let others see it, it's inconvenient." ”
Li Feng was stunned.
Xu Li actually called him Li Gong instead of Li Feng, it was obvious that she was deliberately keeping a distance from him.
After Xu Li finished speaking, she turned around and left, but He Chunxia just said, "Lily, pay attention to safety", but did not send Xu Li out like last time, while Li Yan just stood aside and did not interject.
After Xu Li left, Wang Meng grabbed Li Feng's arm and said angrily: "Brother Li Feng, do you have time tomorrow!" Shall we go to the movies? You've released my pigeons several times! Whatever you say tomorrow, you have to accompany me! ”
Li Feng didn't say a word, just stared at the door blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
He Chunxia poked Li Feng's back hard, and said angrily: "Stinky boy! Wang Meng asked you! What a daze! ”
Li Feng came back to his senses, pulled Wang Meng's arm out of his arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Wang Meng, when I have time, I will look for you!" So, you wait here for me, and I'll send you home later. ”
Without waiting for Wang Meng to speak, Li Feng walked briskly towards the gate, and He Chunxia behind him shouted at him: "You stinky boy! Where are you going! Give me back! ”
Li Feng walked to the door, turned around, and said to He Chunxia with a smile: "Mom, I'll send Xu Li off, and I'll be back soon!" ”
After Li Feng finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.
"This stinky boy! I'm! Now they don't even listen to me! ”
Wang Meng looked at the closed door expressionlessly and asked, "Auntie, didn't you say that Brother Li Feng and Sister Xu Li are not familiar with each other?" ”
He Chunxia was stunned for a second, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Mengmeng, don't think about it, this Li Feng, just look at Xu Li's pitiful child, so I will take more care of her, plus she came to our house for the first time, so I have to send her, don't think about it." ”
Oh? Is it? Is it really the first time Xu Li has come to your house? If it's really the first time to come to your house, then why does Zhou's mother know her name as soon as she sees her? Why did she find your bathroom in the middle of nowhere, without even asking? What about liars!
But so what? What I, Wang Meng, have wanted to get since I was a child, and I have never missed, let alone Li Feng.
Li Feng is mine, it will always be mine, and no one can take it away!
Wang Meng was angry in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Aunt He, what are you talking about, am I so stingy? Sister Xu Li came for the first time, and Brother Li Feng should send her! ”
He Chunxia believed it and thought that Wang Meng was really so simple, so she hurriedly grabbed Wang Meng's arm and went back to the living room with her and laughing.
……
Xu Li was a little depressed, but she couldn't tell why she was depressed, maybe she felt that she was too far behind Wang Meng, but isn't this normal? What's more, what's the need for her to compare with Wang Meng? It is impossible for her and Li Feng to ......
Just thinking like this, Xu Li suddenly heard someone behind her calling her.
"Xu Li! Wait for me! ”
Is it Li Feng?
Xu Li turned around and really saw Li Feng running towards her.
"Why did you come here, is there something wrong?"
"What else can it be," Li Feng smiled helplessly, "Of course it's to send you home!" ”
Xu Li was stunned and said, "Didn't I say no?" You better go back and send Sister Wang Meng back, so as to save Auntie from being angry. ”
"I'll send you back first." Li Feng grabbed Xu Li's wrist without saying anything.
"Hey, Li Feng, you ......"
Li Feng didn't wait for Xu Li to finish speaking, grabbed Xu Li's wrist and walked in the direction of the car.
Xu Li had no choice but to follow Li Feng into the car, originally opened the passenger driver's door, and was about to sit in, but looked back at Li Feng's house, thought about it, and finally closed the door and sat down in the back seat.
Li Feng glanced at Xu Li in the rearview mirror, and asked with a smile, "Am I so terrible?" ”
"Huh?"
"Forget it, it's nothing."
On the way back, Li Feng and Xu Li were speechless all the way, and when they drove the car to the downstairs of Xu Li's house, Li Feng finally spoke: "Xu Li, I'm really sorry, I really didn't know in advance that Wang Meng would also come to my house." ”
Xu Li smiled: "What is there to apologize for." ”
"Do you really not mind?"
"Mind what?"
"Wang Meng and I are really nothing, it's just that we played at home when we were young, and some jokes we said are childish and unscrupulous, so we can't take them seriously."
"I know, so...... Can I get out of the car? ”
Xu Li smiled at Li Feng in the rearview mirror, opened the car door, and got out of the car. But she didn't take a few steps, but was stopped by Li Feng behind her.
"Xu Li!" Li Feng pushed the car door, got out of the car, and walked behind Xu Li, "I may have been a little abrupt that day, I may have scared you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Xu Li sighed softly, turned around, and said with a smile: "I forgot, it's okay." ”
The expression on Li Feng's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "It's best to forget!" Do you have time tomorrow? ”
"What?"
"I recently released a good movie, I want to ask you to ......"
Xu Li didn't wait for Li Feng to finish speaking before interrupting: "You can also see, I have had so many things recently that I can't get out at all, so you should watch it with others." ”
"And when do you have time?"
"There won't be time anytime soon."
"Okay! Then I'll wait for you to have time! ”
"Li Feng, can you not look like this?"
"Xu Li," Li Feng suddenly shook Xu Li's hand, "I like you!" ”
Xu Li's expression was gloomy, she shook off Li Feng's hand and took a step back.
"Thank you for liking, but we are not suitable and cannot be."
"Why! None of us have been in a relationship yet, how do you know we're not suitable! Don't you feel anything about me? I thought you ...... too."
Xu Li interrupted: "You are very good and excellent, but I don't feel anything for you." ”
Li Feng's expression froze on his face.
Xu Li smiled bitterly: "But even if I have feelings for you, what can I do?" Will your mom accept me? Li Feng, it's a girl like Wang Meng who is suitable for you, not me. ”
"If it's because of my mom, that's okay, I'll convince her that I'm ......"
"But I don't have faith in myself! I don't want to repeat that again! Do you understand what I mean? ”
Li Feng said with a blank face: "What do you mean...... Repeating the mistakes of the past......"
Li Feng, what do I have to say so that you can understand? No, you won't understand, even if I say it, you won't believe it, how can you possibly believe that I'm from the plane of 2021? How can I tell you what I have suffered in the Jiang family?
Li Feng ...... Thank you for everything you did for me, and if you can, we still don't see each other. ”
"Why! I don't believe you don't feel anything about me! I can feel that you have feelings for me! ”
Xu Li said with tears in her eyes: "I believe in you, but I don't believe in myself." ”
After Xu Li finished speaking, she turned around and left, without looking back.
Li Feng was stunned for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses until he heard someone shouting his name.
"Li Gong?"
Li Feng looked at the source of the voice and saw a man with a slightly haggard face walking towards him.
Li Feng just felt a little familiar, but he didn't know each other.
"Excuse me, are you ......"
"Oops! Li Gong, it's really you! The man laughed and walked up to Li Feng, "I'm Xu Shun, Xu Li's father!" ”
When Li Feng heard this, he immediately put away his previous emotions, shook Xu Shun's hand with a smile, and said, "Uncle Xu, hello!" I've been so busy lately that I don't have time to visit you! ”
"Oops! Li Gong! I've heard Lily say that you've done our family a great favor! You are my great benefactor Xu Shun! So how could I let you come to see me? If you want to see it, I'll have to see you! ”
"Uncle, what you said is too polite, I really didn't do anything, mainly because of Xu Li's work, if it weren't for Xu Li, this matter wouldn't have been solved until now!"
"yes, thanks to Lily! After all, Lily has always been dragged down by this family, and if it weren't for us, Lily would have studied in college a long time ago, and she wouldn't be having such a hard time now! Xu Shun sighed, "By the way, Li Gong, you are here ......"
"Oh, Lily may not have told you, my dad invited Xu Li to our house for dinner, so I'm sending Xu Li home, Xu Li just went upstairs."
"Oh, how can our family Lily ask Director Li to invite her to dinner!"
Li Feng said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, Xu Li has made a great contribution this time, if it weren't for her, the project of introducing foreign equipment from Hon Hai Factory may have been completed, and the new equipment I am developing may also be terminated." ”
"Li Gong, you are also too exalted to my Lili, she is just a workshop girl, how can she ......"
"Uncle Li, it's true! Maybe you don't know Xu Li, or maybe ......" Li Feng sighed softly, "All of us don't know about Xu Li. ”
This time, Xu Shun didn't refute again.
Indeed, Xu Li has really changed too much these days.
"Li Gong, come up with me to sit down, have a cup of tea, and chat?"
Li Feng smiled and declined: "It's too late, let's do it another day." ”
"So, tomorrow, you can come to my house for dinner! I wanted to invite you yesterday, but Lily said you were busy and didn't have time. ”
Li Feng agreed without thinking about it: "Okay! But maybe not in the last few days, or Saturday, okay? ”
"Okay, okay! No problem! That's it! On Saturday night, our family is waiting for you! ”
