"Oh, nothing. It's your uncle Zhao who wants to see you."
"See me? Why? " Lishuo was quite surprised.
He and Zhao Rongtian, chairman of ennan group, met only twice. One was Zhao Rongtian's one-year-old dinner with his only son. At that time, he was very young. His father and Zhao Rongtian were just casual friends. One time, when he was writing a paper, he interviewed several Chinese business leaders in New York. He didn't meet through his father, so it was hard to make an appointment. It only took ten minutes In other words, Zhao Rongtian doesn't know who he is, and he probably forgot that story now.
"Your uncle Zhao's business was mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River area before. Now, to expand the trade in the north, you need to set up a branch in Beijing and find a long-term accounting firm. You are not in Beijing."
"Oh." Li Shuo said with a smile, "good thing, you can talk about it." But we don't need to call him back to America to talk about it. Most of his parents miss him. Although he is willing to accompany his parents, now he is really worried about Li Chengxiu. He plans to go back immediately after meeting Zhao Rongtian and bring Li Chengxiu back at Christmas.
"Haven't you met uncle Zhao?"
"Yes, when I was a child, but when you cooperated, I had already left the United States."
"Well, he is a very farsighted and intelligent person. If you talk to him more, you should also thank Mrs. Zhao. She asked to cooperate with you. It's hard for her to remember you."
"OK."
"He has a son, do you remember?"
"I have the impression that the gold is very expensive." Li Shuo was also impressed by the one-year-old banquet that he attended when he was 12. As the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and a Manhattan celebrity, Zhao Rongtian's one-year-old feast became a social event. When he was a kid, he had a bit of affectation. He had to talk about Byron's age when he could not move. He didn't appreciate the combination of Chinese and Western styles of Zhao family. I remember that at that time, several children of the same age wanted to hold the little doll to play with. One of the children still spoke. Zhao's nanny pretended that she couldn't understand Chinese, and her eyes would turn to the sky. After all, she was holding the precious son who was hard to find. He could see clearly from the side. Although he was curious about the baby who was carved with powder and jade and who was smiling, he didn't step forward at all.
"Uncle Zhao sent his son to Beijing to manage the branch office. You will meet him this time. You will be friends and partners in the future."
Li Shuo smiled quietly, "OK." Zhao Rongtian's beloved son is famous. He has some doubts about that man's ability. I hope it's not a difficult role. Otherwise, it's not a trouble for him to be caught between Zhao Rongtian and his father.
"I'll talk about this as soon as I get home. My son hasn't eaten yet." Mrs. Li took her son's hand. "It's going to be dinner soon. I'll show you the cabbage I planted. It's very smart."
Li Shuo followed with a smile.
After eating, Li Shuo felt very tired. After taking a bath, he fell asleep in bed.
When he woke up, it was dark. He looked at his watch. Although Li Chengxiu woke up, his parents were ready to go to sleep.
Li Shuo took a picture of himself without shaving and sent it to Li Chengxiu. In the picture, he looked depressed. The jet lag was really troublesome.
Li Chengxiu quickly replied with a message: you look tired. Have a good rest.
Li Shuo called.
It took a long time for the phone to connect. A soft, careful voice rang out: "international long distance It's very expensive. Let's text. "
Lisho chuckled: "it's OK. I want to hear your voice."
Li Chengxiu chuckled, "where are you now?"
"It's ten o'clock in the evening. I wanted you to video with my mother, but she's already asleep."
"Video..." Li Chengxiu said timidly, "no, not very well."
"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you that my parents know my sexuality and they respect me very much?"
"But..." The tone on the other end of the phone was very hesitant.
"If you don't feel comfortable, then there's no video. How about a few words? My parents are very curious about you. "
"Well, good."
"I will go back to accompany you soon after I finish the work. If you are bored, go to Xiaohui and have fun. Don't be bored by yourself, OK?"
"Good."
"Cheng Xiu." Li Shuo said softly, "you will like my parents, and my parents will like you. You don't have any burden around me."
At the other end of the phone, Li Chengxiu said in a low voice, "brother Li, I know."
Early the next morning, Li Shuo and his father went to play tennis. It's a game played by his mother and son since childhood. When he was in college, he participated in the National College Tennis League and entered the quarter finals.
After exercising all morning, I took my parents to a French restaurant where they often go for dinner and went shopping with my mother in the afternoon.
As an only child, he has been on the other side of the ocean all year round. He always feels indebted to his parents. Every time he goes home, he will spend most of his time with his family.At dusk, he returned home and changed his clothes. Uncle Guang sent three of his family to attend Zhao Rongtian's family dinner.
Mr. Li was recently taken to Kunqu by Uncle Guang. They were in the car and you should sing with me, which made the mother and son of Li Shuo laugh.
Zhao Rongtian lives in the center of the Upper East District, adjacent to the Central Park, and has built a small artificial lake. It is the only Chinese style mansion in the upper east district. I remember that the mansion has been on the domestic media, but lishuo is the first time.
Uncle Guang stopped at the gate of the mansion under the guidance of security.
Li Shuo said: "Uncle Guang, don't fall asleep when you listen to the music. Remember to leave some space in the window."
Uncle Guang waved: "no way."
"Wait for us, darling." Li Shuo smiled and patted uncle Guangshu on the shoulder.
Mrs. Li stepped out of the car, and lishuo bent down to tidy up her slightly wrinkled skirt.
In this effort, he heard a thick baritone calling his father's name.
Looking up, Zhao Rongtian and his wife came out to meet them, followed by a tall young man.
Li Shuo's brain burst when he saw the face clearly.
Zhao, Zhao Jinxin?!
Zhao Jinxin gave him a deep look, and then showed a lovely smile: "Uncle Li is good, aunt is good, I haven't seen you for a long time, why is aunt younger and more beautiful?"
Mrs. Li's eyes were bent with a smile: "Jinxin has grown up and her mouth is still so sweet."
Zhao Jinxin's eyes fell on Li Shuo, with a surprised expression: "is this the eldest brother? How handsome. "
"Hello." Li Shuo nodded to Zhao Jinxin, as if they had never seen each other before. He smiled gracefully and decently: "Uncle Zhao is good, aunt is good."
"Oh, what a talent." Zhao Rong looked at lishuo from the sky and said with a smile, "I saw you last time as a child."
Mr. Li said with emotion, "not really. Last time you saw him, Jinxin was just able to climb. In a twinkling of an eye, the children have grown up and we are all old."
Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "it used to be either Jin Xin or Li Shuo. This is the first time we have a party of six people. Let's go into the room and have a good talk."
Four elders walk in front, Zhao Jinxin and Li Shuo follow.
Zhao Jinxin glanced at lishuo and whispered, "I said, we will see each other again." The tone of voice is smiling, and I'm willing to get it.
Li Shuo looked at his father's back, pretended not to hear him, and walked into the room quickly.
In the face of this strange coincidence, lishuo has changed from surprise to calm. But when he thought of their father's relationship, he worried that he could not get involved with the man. He doesn't like to mix private affairs with public affairs. It's much more important to avoid troubles than to make money. I'm afraid the cooperation should be reconsidered.
During the dinner, the two householders talked about the stock market, and the two ladies showed off their sons politely. Zhao Jinxin and Li Shuo sat face to face, and Li Shuo kept smiling at his mother to avoid unnecessary eye contact with Zhao Jinxin.
Zhao Jinxin raised his glass: "brother, come on, let's have a drink."
Li Shuo raised his glass gracefully and touched it lightly with him.
"You two are a little old, or you must have grown up together," Mrs. Zhao said with a smile
"It's a pity that I should have known elder brother earlier." Zhao Jinxin said it sincerely.
"Li Shuo said with a smile," it's not. "
"What hobbies do you usually have? Do you have something to play with? "
"Tennis, skiing, diving, and you?"
"I just like it. Let's go next time."
Li Shuo smiled: "good."
"Xiaoshuo, after Jinxin went to China, you should take good care of this younger brother." Mrs. Li asked.
"That's for sure." Li Shuo agreed with a smile and turned to Zhao Rongtian. "Uncle Zhao, I heard from my father that you plan to open up trade in the north."
"Yes, it's not just that you are in the capital. How reliable our cooperation is." Zhao Rongtian waved his hand, "but today we only eat and chat, and we will go to our company to talk about business tomorrow."
Li Shuo nodded with a smile.
Zhao Jinxin said, "brother, would you like some more beef?"
"Oh, no, I'm full. Thank you."
"If you eat well, I'll take you to the lake? It's good to eat. "
Li Shuo just wanted to refuse, his father said: "go ahead, you young people have a good chat."
Li Shuo slowly wiped the corners of his mouth and gave Zhao Jinxin a sharp look. Zhao Jinxin smiled innocently.
Lishuo stood up and made a gesture of "please" with a smile. He would like to see what kind of moth Zhao Jinxin can use.
The man-made lake dug by Zhao Jia is just beside the Central Park. It's designed very cunningly. It can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Central Park, but also look like the whole Central Park is their back garden when it's foggy at night and the surrounding buildings are not so obvious.Li Shuo squints at the lake in the night. The night wind blows gently. It's cool and pleasant.
"It's a beautiful view here." Zhao Jinxin put his hands behind his head and breathed happily.
"It's beautiful." Li Shuo said sincerely.
Zhao Jinxin chuckled: "I forgot how old I was when I moved here. When I was a child, every time I was near this lake, someone followed me, even if I fell into it, I would not be so stupid."
Li Shuo thought to himself, Zhao Jinxin is a single biography of Zhao's family, and Zhao Rongtian is almost 40 years old. That's their life - root - son. It's not surprising to hire eight people to watch it 24 hours.
Li Shuo didn't answer. He waited for Zhao Jinxin to say or do something. He didn't want to admit it, but he was a little curious. What did Zhao Jinxin dare to do.
Zhao Jinxin stooped to pick up a stone from the grass and threw it towards the center of the lake.
With the sound of "Dong", the small stone fell into the lake, making a small circle of quiet ripples under the moonlight.
Li Shuo is still quiet, but he is on guard. After all, Zhao Jinxin "sneaked" at him on the plane.
"Although it's good here, I prefer my apartment." Zhao Jinxin said with a low smile, "at the highest level, nearly 200 meters from the ground, there are no higher buildings around.". "
when Li Shuo thought of what Zhao Jinxin said on the plane, he could not help but start to have pictures of children.
Zhao Jinxin followed his advice: "get rid of the light in the swimming pool and expose to the sky and sunshine. It seems that the whole world is empty. But when you look down, you can see the cars on the street and the children flying kites in the riverside park. But no one will see you, see what you are doing, and you will begin to feel ashamed - ashamed, but you will soon... "
"All right." Li Shuo's birth interrupted. He suddenly found that his thoughts were led by Zhao Jinxin. No matter what he guessed, or what he would do, or how he crammed the □ □ picture into his mind, he was "invaded" by this person's idea. This is not a good thing. He paused and smiled a little helplessly. "Jin Xin, it doesn't work for me. It doesn't matter whether you are charming or not. In the face of our father's generation, it's just as if nothing happened on the plane. It's not good for us to make friends. "
Zhao Jinxin glanced at him sideways, and then chuckled: "it really doesn't work? Do you like the picture I sent you? "
"Yes, you have a good figure." Li Shuo admitted frankly.
Zhao Jinxin blinked: "there is' better ', do you want to see it?"
Li Shuo put his hands in his pockets, smiled and shook his head. "If you can't communicate with me normally, then we'd better not."
Zhao Jinxin stared at him for two seconds and laughed: "OK, I won't tease you."
Li Shuo raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "I'll go back first." Said to leave.
Zhao Jinxin grabbed his arm and said, "what's the hurry? I'll take you to the lake."
"No, it's so dark..."
"It's dark. We can set off fireworks on the lake. It's very beautiful."
Li Shuo politely but resolutely pulled back his hand: "no, I have limited time to come back and want to spend more time with my parents." He nodded to Zhao Jinxin and turned back.
Zhao Jinxin looks at the back of his departure, and his lips are always smiling.
It wasn't until lishuo's back disappeared that he took out his mobile phone, dialed a phone and said lazily, "Hello, brother, I saw him."
"Well, you have a good eye. It's exactly to my taste."
"My sister-in-law has a good eye..." Before the voice fell, Zhao Jinxin kept the phone away from his ears, and when the roar was over, he said with a smile, "don't be so fierce, just kidding, you have such a bad temper that you will lose your life."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Oh, nothing. It's your uncle Zhao who wants to see you."

Mrs. Li took her son's hand. "It's going to be dinner soon. I'll show you the cabbage I planted. It's very smart." Li Shuo followed with a smile. After eating, Li Shuo felt very tired. After taking a bath, he fell asleep in bed. When he woke up, it was dark. He looked at his watch. Although Li Chengxiu woke up, his parents were ready to go to sleep. Li Shuo took a picture of himself without shaving and sent it to Li Chengxiu. In the picture, he looked depressed. The jet lag was really troublesome. Li Chengxiu quickly replied with a message: you look tired. Have a good rest. Li Shuo called. It took a long time for the phone to connect. A soft, careful voice rang out: "international long distance It's very expensive. Let's text. " Lisho chuckled: "it's OK. I want to hear your voice." Li Chengxiu chuckled, "where are you now?" "It's ten o'clock in the evening. I wanted you to video with my mother, but she's already asleep." "Video..." Li Chengxiu said timidly, "no, not very well." "What's the matter? Didn't I tell you that my parents know my sexuality and they respect me very much?" "But..." The tone on the other end of the phone was very hesitant. "If you don't feel comfortable, then there's no video. How about a few words? My parents are very curious about you. " "Well, good." "I will go back to accompany you soon after I finish the work. If you are bored, go to Xiaohui and have fun. Don't be bored by yourself, OK?" "Good." "Cheng Xiu." Li Shuo said softly, "you will like my parents, and my parents will like you. You don't have any burden around me." At the other end of the phone, Li Chengxiu said in a low voice, "brother Li, I know." Early the next morning, Li Shuo and his father went to play tennis. It's a game played by his mother and son since childhood. When he was in college, he participated in the National College Tennis League and entered the quarter finals. After exercising all morning, I took my parents to a French restaurant where they often go for dinner and went shopping with my mother in the afternoon. As an only child, he has been on the other side of the ocean all year round. He always feels indebted to his parents. Every time he goes home, he will spend most of his time with his family.At dusk, he returned home and changed his clothes. Uncle Guang sent three of his family to attend Zhao Rongtian's family dinner. Mr. Li was recently taken to Kunqu by Uncle Guang. They were in the car and you should sing with me, which made the mother and son of Li Shuo laugh. Zhao Rongtian lives in the center of the Upper East District, adjacent to the Central Park, and has built a small artificial lake. It is the only Chinese style mansion in the upper east district. I remember that the mansion has been on the domestic media, but lishuo is the first time. Uncle Guang stopped at the gate of the mansion under the guidance of security. Li Shuo said: "Uncle Guang, don't fall asleep when you listen to the music. Remember to leave some space in the window." Uncle Guang waved: "no way." "Wait for us, darling." Li Shuo smiled and patted uncle Guangshu on the shoulder. Mrs. Li stepped out of the car, and lishuo bent down to tidy up her slightly wrinkled skirt. In this effort, he heard a thick baritone calling his father's name. Looking up, Zhao Rongtian and his wife came out to meet them, followed by a tall young man. Li Shuo's brain burst when he saw the face clearly. Zhao, Zhao Jinxin?! Zhao Jinxin gave him a deep look, and then showed a lovely smile: "Uncle Li is good, aunt is good, I haven't seen you for a long time, why is aunt younger and more beautiful?" Mrs. Li's eyes were bent with a smile: "Jinxin has grown up and her mouth is still so sweet." Zhao Jinxin's eyes fell on Li Shuo, with a surprised expression: "is this the eldest brother? How handsome. " "Hello." Li Shuo nodded to Zhao Jinxin, as if they had never seen each other before. He smiled gracefully and decently: "Uncle Zhao is good, aunt is good." "Oh, what a talent." Zhao Rong looked at lishuo from the sky and said with a smile, "I saw you last time as a child." Mr. Li said with emotion, "not really. Last time you saw him, Jinxin was just able to climb. In a twinkling of an eye, the children have grown up and we are all old." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "it used to be either Jin Xin or Li Shuo. This is the first time we have a party of six people. Let's go into the room and have a good talk." Four elders walk in front, Zhao Jinxin and Li Shuo follow. Zhao Jinxin glanced at lishuo and whispered, "I said, we will see each other again." The tone of voice is smiling, and I'm willing to get it. Li Shuo looked at his father's back, pretended not to hear him, and walked into the room quickly. In the face of this strange coincidence, lishuo has changed from surprise to calm. But when he thought of their father's relationship, he worried that he could not get involved with the man. He doesn't like to mix private affairs with public affairs. It's much more important to avoid troubles than to make money. I'm afraid the cooperation should be reconsidered. During the dinner, the two householders talked about the stock market, and the two ladies showed off their sons politely. Zhao Jinxin and Li Shuo sat face to face, and Li Shuo kept smiling at his mother to avoid unnecessary eye contact with Zhao Jinxin. Zhao Jinxin raised his glass: "brother, come on, let's have a drink." Li Shuo raised his glass gracefully and touched it lightly with him. "You two are a little old, or you must have grown up together," Mrs. Zhao said with a smile "It's a pity that I should have known elder brother earlier." Zhao Jinxin said it sincerely. "Li Shuo said with a smile," it's not. " "What hobbies do you usually have? Do you have something to play with? " "Tennis, skiing, diving, and you?" "I just like it. Let's go next time." Li Shuo smiled: "good." "Xiaoshuo, after Jinxin went to China, you should take good care of this younger brother." Mrs. Li asked. "That's for sure." Li Shuo agreed with a smile and turned to Zhao Rongtian. "Uncle Zhao, I heard from my father that you plan to open up trade in the north." "Yes, it's not just that you are in the capital. How reliable our cooperation is." Zhao Rongtian waved his hand, "but today we only eat and chat, and we will go to our company to talk about business tomorrow." Li Shuo nodded with a smile. Zhao Jinxin said, "brother, would you like some more beef?" "Oh, no, I'm full. Thank you." "If you eat well, I'll take you to the lake? It's good to eat. " Li Shuo just wanted to refuse, his father said: "go ahead, you young people have a good chat." Li Shuo slowly wiped the corners of his mouth and gave Zhao Jinxin a sharp look. Zhao Jinxin smiled innocently. Lishuo stood up and made a gesture of "please" with a smile. He would like to see what kind of moth Zhao Jinxin can use. The man-made lake dug by Zhao Jia is just beside the Central Park. It's designed very cunningly. It can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Central Park, but also look like the whole Central Park is their back garden when it's foggy at night and the surrounding buildings are not so obvious.Li Shuo squints at the lake in the night. The night wind blows gently. It's cool and pleasant. "It's a beautiful view here." Zhao Jinxin put his hands behind his head and breathed happily. "It's beautiful." Li Shuo said sincerely. Zhao Jinxin chuckled: "I forgot how old I was when I moved here. When I was a child, every time I was near this lake, someone followed me, even if I fell into it, I would not be so stupid." Li Shuo thought to himself, Zhao Jinxin is a single biography of Zhao's family, and Zhao Rongtian is almost 40 years old. That's their life - root - son. It's not surprising to hire eight people to watch it 24 hours. Li Shuo didn't answer. He waited for Zhao Jinxin to say or do something. He didn't want to admit it, but he was a little curious. What did Zhao Jinxin dare to do. Zhao Jinxin stooped to pick up a stone from the grass and threw it towards the center of the lake. With the sound of "Dong", the small stone fell into the lake, making a small circle of quiet ripples under the moonlight. Li Shuo is still quiet, but he is on guard. After all, Zhao Jinxin "sneaked" at him on the plane. "Although it's good here, I prefer my apartment." Zhao Jinxin said with a low smile, "at the highest level, nearly 200 meters from the ground, there are no higher buildings around.". "when Li Shuo thought of what Zhao Jinxin said on the plane, he could not help but start to have pictures of children. Zhao Jinxin followed his advice: "get rid of the light in the swimming pool and expose to the sky and sunshine. It seems that the whole world is empty. But when you look down, you can see the cars on the street and the children flying kites in the riverside park. But no one will see you, see what you are doing, and you will begin to feel ashamed - ashamed, but you will soon... " "All right." Li Shuo's birth interrupted. He suddenly found that his thoughts were led by Zhao Jinxin. No matter what he guessed, or what he would do, or how he crammed the picture into his mind, he was "invaded" by this person's idea. This is not a good thing. He paused and smiled a little helplessly. "Jin Xin, it doesn't work for me. It doesn't matter whether you are charming or not. In the face of our father's generation, it's just as if nothing happened on the plane. It's not good for us to make friends. " Zhao Jinxin glanced at him sideways, and then chuckled: "it really doesn't work? Do you like the picture I sent you? " "Yes, you have a good figure." Li Shuo admitted frankly. Zhao Jinxin blinked: "there is' better ', do you want to see it?" Li Shuo put his hands in his pockets, smiled and shook his head. "If you can't communicate with me normally, then we'd better not." Zhao Jinxin stared at him for two seconds and laughed: "OK, I won't tease you." Li Shuo raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "I'll go back first." Said to leave. Zhao Jinxin grabbed his arm and said, "what's the hurry? I'll take you to the lake." "No, it's so dark..." "It's dark. We can set off fireworks on the lake. It's very beautiful." Li Shuo politely but resolutely pulled back his hand: "no, I have limited time to come back and want to spend more time with my parents." He nodded to Zhao Jinxin and turned back. Zhao Jinxin looks at the back of his departure, and his lips are always smiling. It wasn't until lishuo's back disappeared that he took out his mobile phone, dialed a phone and said lazily, "Hello, brother, I saw him." "Well, you have a good eye. It's exactly to my taste." "My sister-in-law has a good eye..." Before the voice fell, Zhao Jinxin kept the phone away from his ears, and when the roar was over, he said with a smile, "don't be so fierce, just kidding, you have such a bad temper that you will lose your life."
