North Gold.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Yunhai came to the courtyard.

It was the nanny Xiaoyan who opened the door, she saw that it was Li Yunhai, and smiled in surprise: "Mr. Li is here!" ”

Li Yunhai smiled slightly and walked into the house.

The parrot in the courtyard shouted: "Here are the guests, here are the guests." ”

The cry of a little girl came from inside the house.

Xiaoyan shouted: "Sister Zhu, Mr. Li is here!" ”

Zhu Lin was coaxing his daughter Zhu Fei, and when he heard the shouting, he was very surprised, and when he saw Li Yunhai, he was sure that it was true.

"Why are you here?" Zhu Lin asked.

"Why can't I come?"

"Of course you can come, and you won't let me know before you come?"

"I'm going to surprise you." Li Yunhai said with a smile, he took the child and asked, "Why is Fei Fei crying?" ”

Zhu Lin said: "She loves candy, if I don't give it to her, she will cry non-stop." ”

"Fei Fei is so small, what kind of candy can she eat?"

"Lollipop, she ate it cutely. Children have baby teeth and should not eat too much. ”

Li Yunhai doesn't seem to have much experience with children.

Zhu Fei didn't let him hug him, crying and stretching out her hands to her mother.

Xiaoyan took the child very interestingly and said that she would take her to the yard to play with the parrots.

Li Yunhai sighed: "I'm sorry, Sister Zhu, my father is too incompetent." ”

It's always very beautiful for two people to be in love, they only care about their inner desires and physical pleasures.

Once you have a child, all the trivial things come and can consume all your patience and dreams. Those beautiful love clips in the past are not even a fart in front of children.

Zhu Lin has always lived an elegant and calm life, and there has never been a trace of time etching on his face.

She was still as glamorous as she was, but after a few months of not seeing her, she had changed dramatically.

This change occurs from the inside out, which is the difference between a mother and a woman.

When the two met again, they didn't have the sweetness of intimacy before.

In Zhu Lin's world, there is only work and a daughter, and Li Yunhai has not existed for a long time.

Love has a shelf life, and passion cools.

If there was no such daughter, perhaps the relationship between Zhu Lin and Li Yunhai would have come to an end.

"Where do you live?" Zhu Lin saw that Li Yunhai didn't bring his luggage, so he asked.

"The Great Wall Hotel."

"Why don't you come here to live?"

"I brought a secretary, it's inconvenient."

"Then are you going to leave later?"

"No, I'll stay with you."

Both tried to pretend to be enthusiastic, but failed.

The sense of alienation caused by not seeing each other for too long cannot be eliminated so quickly.

Li Yunhai really experienced this feeling in Guo Wanhua, and now he sees it in Zhu Lin.

He regretted it very much that he shouldn't have let Zhu Lin go back to Beijin.

If they stay in Xizhou, they will at least be able to see each other once a day, and they will not be so angry.

Li Yunhai held Zhu Lin's hand: "Let's go out for a walk, shall we?" ”

Zhu Lin said: "Where to go?" I haven't been out shopping for a long time since I had my kids. Fortunately, I have a job and I am not out of touch with society. ”

The two of them did not take their children with them, and went outside to press the road.

Young and energetic little girls, dressed in fashionable and beautiful dresses, passed by them with laughter and laughter.

Zhu Lin looked at them and laughed in a low voice: "I finally understand now why a woman will become the eyes of a dead fish when she has a child in her life, because she gave all the brilliance to the child." Do you think I'm old? ”

Li Yunhai hugged her waist and said, "No, you are just without makeup, if you dress up, you will be more charming than the little girl on the street." ”

Zhu Lin said: "You are still so good at coaxing people to be happy, but it's a pity that I have passed the age of coaxing." ”

The two walked around, and Li Yunhai asked her if she wanted to buy anything? Zhu Lin said that there was no shortage of anything, because during the lactation period, whether it was gold and silver jewelry, brocade clothes, or skin care products and cosmetics, it was not used.

Back home, Xiaoyan had already coaxed the baby to sleep.

Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin took a bath and rested.

Zhu Lin washed after washing, and came out for a long time, wearing pajamas, and sat down on the edge of the bed a little shyly.

Li Yunhai hugged her from behind.

Zhu Lin subconsciously avoided it and said, "I'm sorry, Yunhai, I wasn't prepared. ”

Li Yunhai was stunned: "You have a new love?" If you do find another love, you must tell me. ”

Zhu Lin lay down on the bed and said, "No, where do I still have the mood and time to start a new relationship?" Yunhai, you lie down, let's chat. ”

Li Yunhai held his chin in his hand and looked at her.

Zhu Lin said: "Yunhai, women are different from men, I am very reluctant to love without feelings. ”

"Isn't there any affection between us?"

"Yunhai, don't be angry when I say it, we haven't seen each other for a few months, although we have called to contact, but we haven't met after all. I know you're busy, but are you really just busy? I have a child, so it's inconvenient to see you, but you haven't come to see us for so long! Maybe you've forgotten about me in your heart, right? ”

"No, I haven't forgotten you." Li Yunhai kissed her face, "It's even more impossible for me to forget the child." I've been really busy lately. Why don't you live in Xizhou? ”

"Have you ever been to Shanghai?"

"Nope."

"Alas!"

Li Yunhai was very painful in his heart, knowing that this matter was all his fault.

He was too busy with work, so he really wanted to come to Beijin and Shanghai, but he still had time.

He had thought of a lot of excuses, but he didn't want to say them anymore at the moment.

"It's all my fault, I'll come to see you often in the future."

"If you are asked to come once a month, I guess you won't be able to do it. Forget it, it's not interesting. ”

"What does it mean?"

"It just doesn't matter."

Zhu Lin turned sideways and ignored him.

Li Yunhai pressed against her back, up and down his hands.

Zhu Lin struggled slightly, and finally obeyed his wish.

After the event, Li Yunhai said with a smile: "You said that you were not ready, but your body is very honest." ”

Zhu Lin's face was as delicate as a flower, his chest rose and fell, he reached out and turned off the lamp, and said, "Sleep!" ”

Li Yunhai was stabbed by her coldness and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I don't know. I thought I was too old to be stupid for a man anymore. As a result, I not only made a fool, but also made a mistake and gave you a baby. Later, I thought that I could enjoy your care and captivity like many juniors in the world. But I found out again that I was overestimating myself! ”

"Sister Zhu, do you want a stable family life?"

"No, I just want you to be there for me when I'm lonely and bored."

"Come back to Xizhou with me?"

"Gong Jie also went to Xizhou? Do you think you are a monkey grandson, who can change and conjure up countless clones to accompany us? ”

Li Yunhai was silent.

Zhu Lin said: "Forget it, let's live like this!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Tomorrow at noon, I have a banquet to invite two professors from the Institute of Computing, and I want to invite them to work in the Sihai Group." ”

"If it weren't for work, you might never have come to Beijin to see me, right?"

"Sister Zhu, too many things have happened in the past few months."

Li Yunhai told what happened after the year.

Zhu Lin is not in the headquarters, so he doesn't know how big a crisis the company is facing, let alone how much effort and effort Li Yunhai has to put in to maintain the operation of such a large company.

Sihai Group has invested billions in lithography machine projects, if the products cannot be sold and cannot be recognized by customers, then all the investment is equivalent to waste.

The company and Compaq competed for the purchase order of 30,000 computers in the province, if it wasn't for Li Yunhai to break through each and successfully win the order, how could he make so much money this year? Where is the money for overseas layout?

This is the company's worries.

Recently, the floods in the south have been serious, and Zhu Lin has not felt much in the north, but he has also seen it on TV.

Li Yunhai donated 2 billion yuan, and donated tens of millions of materials, so many things that Li Yunhai couldn't get out.

Zhu Lin couldn't help but turn around and hugged the man beside him.

"I'm sorry, Yunhai, it's me who is too willful. I only live in my own small universe, but I don't know that you not only belong to me and Xiaofei, but you also belong to all the employees of the company and the people of the whole country. ”

Li Yunhai couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm not that great, but the company is in an eventful time." It's good to wait until you're done with this while. ”

Zhu Lin said: "We always say that it's good to be busy for this while, but how long is this time?" After this while, what about the next one? But I don't care, I figured it out, I lived for myself for the first half of my life, and I lived for my daughter for the second half of my life! I won't ask you too much in the future, just come over and see me and the child once in a while. ”

She hugged Li Yunhai and kissed him frantically.

Once again, the two were lost in the amusement.

The next morning, Li Yunhai was still asleep, and his pager kept ringing.

As soon as he saw that it was Beijin's local number, he called back.

Su Hong asked him where he was and when he was going to the computing office.

Li Yunhai said that I have already contacted the two professors of the Computing Institute, and I will invite them to a banquet in Donglai Shun at noon, and you and Zhuang Yong will go directly over there, and I have already booked a seat.

Su Hong said: "Mr. Li, I am your secretary, I followed you on a business trip, but like a fool, everything was arranged by you, what else can I do?" ”

"Just eat and drink with you."

"It makes my job worthless."

"At noon, if you accompany the two professors to have a few more drinks and pull them to work in our company, then you will have a great credit!"

"Okay, Mr. Li."

Li Yunhai put down the phone, stretched his waist, and came out to see that there was no one in the room.

He saw a note on the dining table: "Yunhai, we went grocery shopping, breakfast is hot in the pot." ”

Li Yunhai had breakfast and went to the yard to tease the birds for a while.

There was a knock on the door.

He thought it was Zhu Lin and the others who had returned, so he hurriedly ran over and opened the door.

Outside the door stood a man and two women, both brightly dressed. The man was about forty years old, wearing a thumb-sized gold necklace around his neck, and his crocodile leather shoes were shiny. The two women are in their twenties, charming, amorous, and look a little alike, they should be twins. One of them carried the eldest brother in his hand, and the other carried a briefcase.

Li Yunhai asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The man smiled and asked with a mouthful of Hong Kong, "Comrade, hello wow!" Are you the owner of this house? ”

Li Yunhai said: "I am." Is there something wrong? ”

The man pointed to the house and said, "Is this house for sale?" I can give you a good price. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Don't sell it!" ”

The man said: "You make a price, I'll give you 800,000, do you sell it?" ”

Li Yunhai didn't want to waste time, and wanted the other party to retreat, so he laughed and said, "800,000? That's a lot of money! Do you know how much I spent on the renovation here? ”

"I can see that your house is newly renovated, and I want to buy it and live in it, so I took the liberty to come to the door. Would you like to make a price? ”

"Let me tell you this, my house cost more than 10 million yuan for decoration alone, and the furniture is counted, and it cost almost 20 million together!"

"Huh?" The man was speechless, and looked inside, "Twenty million? That's too expensive! ”

The woman next to her said: "20 million, you can buy a prince's mansion!" ”

Li Yunhai turned around and closed the door.

The man shook his head, pointed to a courtyard on the opposite side and said, "No way, let's go see this smaller courtyard." ”

They came up and knocked on the door.

Zhu Lin and the nanny pushed the stroller and came back with vegetables, just in time to bump into the three people.

"Hey, what are you knocking on? Can I help you? Zhu Lin asked.

The man turned around and said, "We're looking for the owner of this house." Are you a homeowner? ”

Zhu Lin said: "I am!" ”

The man said, "Great, hello, we want to buy this courtyard, can you make a price?" ”

Zhu Lin said: "Don't sell!" ”

The man said, "Why don't you sell it?" I can afford it! I'll give you 500,000! ”

Zhu Lin said: "I won't sell it for 5 million!" ”

The man said: "Comrade, you sell this old house to me, you can use this money to buy an elevator building." ”

Zhu Lin said: "Don't sell!" ”

Li Yunhai heard Zhu Lin's voice in the courtyard and opened the courtyard door.

Zhu Lin took the nanny into the house.

The man sighed, "These two courtyards are theirs!" ”

Before they could come forward, the gate of the courtyard was closed again.

Zhu Lin said: "Yunhai, you bought all the courtyards around here, what's the use?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Don't worry about it for the time being, then let's decorate all these houses, and then connect them, it will be a prince's mansion." ”

"It doesn't have to be too big, it's nice to live like this." Zhu Lin said, "Recently, there are a lot of people who come to Beijing to buy a courtyard house, and the house in a little place is only sold for 300,000 yuan, and the price of our house has risen a little, and the last time someone came to ask for the price, the high price of 1.5 million was opened!" But as soon as they came in to see the decoration, they turned around and left. They are knowledgeable people and know that the renovation cost of our house is not low. ”

Li Yunhai took the baby and took her to play with the parrot.

Zhu Fei likes to watch the birds eat, and slowly became familiar with Li Yunhai, so she let him hold her.

At noon, Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin came to Donglaishun on Wangfujing Street.

Su Hong and Zhuang Yong have arrived.

"Mr. Li, Wu Kangda and Meng Qinghua haven't arrived yet, should we pick them up?"

"I asked them yesterday and they said they didn't need to pick it up, they came by themselves. They are now working in a computing office, and if someone finds out they are in contact with us, it can have a bad impact. ”

"Oh, that's too."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I saw two middle-aged men coming over on bicycles.

Li Yunhai didn't see Wu Kangda and Meng Qinghua yesterday, but when he looked at it today, he subconsciously felt that these two people were his guests.

He stepped forward and said with a smile: "May I ask if it's Professor Wu and Professor Meng?" I'm Li Yunhai. ”

The people who came were Wu Kangda and Meng Qinghua.

They locked their bikes and shook hands with Li Yunhai.

"Mr. Li, I have admired my name for a long time! I'm Wu Kangda. Said the tall, thin man with glasses.

"Mr. Li, I'm Meng Qinghua, I'm glad to meet." The thinner man said.

"Professor Wu, Professor Meng, please inside."

The group came to the private room and took their seats.

Su Hong instructed the waiter to serve the food.

Li Yunhai, Wu and Meng said, "Two professors, Professor Ni must have already contacted you, right?" I often hear Professor Ni talk about the two of you, saying that your skills and abilities are above him. I was so impressed by this that I wanted to come and meet them for a long time. ”

Meng Qinghua said: "Mr. Li, we came today, first, because of Lao Ni's recommendation, and secondly, we also want to appreciate Mr. Li's style." As for changing jobs, we don't have that idea yet. We are old, and our brainpower and ability are not as good as those of young men, and we can't help you when we go to your company. ”

Li Yunhai was stunned, but he didn't expect the other party to refuse as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wu Kangda said: "Lao Meng is right, we are in our forties, and we just want to stay in the computing institute until we retire. What ambitions, what ideals, is long gone. ”

Li Yunhai said: "There is an old saying in my country, parents are here, don't talk about old age. The two of them are in the prime of life, how can they be said to be old? ”

Meng Qinghua said: "Mr. Li, we are old in mentality!" In such a unit, if we don't provide for the elderly, what else can we do? Old Ni praised us, where can we compare to him? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Professor Meng, Professor Wu, since you can't be reused in calculations and have a bad time, why don't you want to jump ship to our Sihai Group?" You must have heard of Professor Ni's treatment in our company, right? Not only do we offer a world-class research environment, but we also offer great salaries and bonuses! If you are worried about the length of service, then I can promise you now that you are calculating how many years you have worked in the company, and how many years of service you have worked in our company after you have changed jobs. ”

Wu and Meng looked at each other.

Meng Qinghua said: "Mr. Li, it can be seen that you are thirsty for talent, otherwise you would not have come all the way to invite us." But we really don't deserve to help you. ”

At this time, the wine and food were served, and Su Hong said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, why don't you eat first?" Let's talk about it slowly. ”

Li Yunhai snorted and said, "You can toast the two professors a few more times." ”

When you go to Donglaishun to eat, of course, the most characteristic hot pot is indispensable.

Everyone was soaking mutton, drinking wine, and talking about things at the same time.

Helplessly, no matter how Li Yunhai talks about lotus flowers, Wu and Meng just refuse to change jobs. (End of chapter)
