"Oh, nothing, it's your uncle Zhao who wants to see you."

"See me? Why?" Li Shuo was somewhat surprised.

He and Zhao Rongtian, the chairman of Ennan Group, have only met twice. One was the birthday party of Zhao Rongtian's only son. At that time, he was still very young. His father and Zhao Rongtian were just friends, and once he wrote an essay. Several Chinese business leaders in New York did not make appointments through his father, so he finally made an appointment, and only spoke for ten minutes. Zhao Rongtian didn't know who he was, and he probably forgot it now.

"Your uncle Zhao's business was mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River area. Now you want to expand 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 laughed. "Good thing, you can talk about it." But this thing does not need to be called back to the United States to talk about it, most of his parents miss him. Although he is very willing to accompany his parents, but now he really can not rest assured that Li Chengxiu, he plans to return immediately after seeing Zhao Rongtian, and bring Li Chengxiu back at Christmas.

"Have you never seen your Uncle Zhao?"

"Yes, I was a kid, but when you cooperated, I had left the United States."

"Well, he is a very visionary and intelligent person. If you talk to him more, you would also like to thank Mrs. Zhao, who asked you to cooperate with her. Rarely she remembers you."

"Ok."

"He has a son, do you remember?"

"I have an impression. I am old and have a lot of money." Li Shuo also had an impression of the one-year-old banquet attended at the age of twelve. Zhao Rongtian was the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and a celebrity in Manhattan. Social networking ceremony. When he was a kid, he was a bit arrogant. He wanted to chat with people about Byron's age at all times. He didn't appreciate the combination of Chinese and Western styles in the Zhao family. I remember that a few children of the same age wanted to play with a baby doll, and one of them even spoke. The mother of the Zhao family pretended not to understand Chinese, and her eyes turned to the sky. After all, she was holding Wanjin in her hand. Hard to find your noble son. He could clearly see on the side. Although he was also curious about the pink baby doll, who laughed at everyone, he didn't step forward.

"Your uncle Zhao sent his son to the Beijing Management Office. This time you will also see him. In the future, you will be both a world friend and a partner."

Li Shuo smiled calmly: "Okay." Zhao Rongtian's husband and wife are well-known for their sons. He really questioned that person's ability, hoping that it was not a difficult role, otherwise he would be caught between Zhao Rongtian and his father. Isn't it trouble?

"Why do you talk about these as soon as you come home? My son hasn't eaten yet." Mrs. Li took her son's hand. "It's going to be dinner soon. I'll take you to see the cabbage I have grown. . "

Li Shuo laughed and followed.

After eating, Li Shuo was already tired and took a bath and fell asleep on the bed.

When he woke up, it was dark and he looked at his watch. Although Li Chengxiu woke up at this time, his parents were ready to fall asleep.

Li Shuo took a photo of himself without shaving and sent it to Li Chengxiu. In the photo, he looked debilitated, and jet lag was really troublesome.

Li Chengxiu quickly returned a text message: You look tired, take a good rest.

Li Shuo called.

The phone rang for a long time to connect, and a soft, careful voice sounded: "International calls ... Expensive, let's just send a text message."

Li Shuo smiled: "It's all right, I want to hear from you."

Li Chengxiu chuckled: "Where are you now?"

"It was ten o'clock in the evening, and I wanted to make a video with you and my mother, but she was already asleep."

"Video ..." Li Chengxiu said timidly, "No, not so good."

"It doesn't matter. Didn't I tell you that, my parents know my sexuality, and they respect me."

"But ..." The tone on the phone was hesitant.

"If you feel uncomfortable, then stop the video. How about saying a few words? My parents are very curious about you."

"okay."

"I'll be back to accompany you soon after I finish things. If you are bored, go to Xiaohui to play, don't be bored yourself, okay."

"it is good."

"Cheng Xiu," Li Shuorou whispered, "You will like my parents, my parents will also like yours, beside me, you do not have any burden."

A gentle gasping sound came from the other end of the phone, and Li Chengxiu whispered, "Brother Li, I know."

Early the next morning, Li Shuo went to play tennis with his father. This is his mother and son's sports from childhood to big. When he was in college, he participated in the National College Tennis League and also entered the quarterfinals.

After exercising all morning, I took my parents to a French restaurant where they used to eat, and went shopping with his mother in the afternoon.

As the only child, he has been on the other side of the ocean all year round. He always feels that he owes his parents. Every time he goes home, he spends most of his time with his family.

At dusk, he returned home and changed his clothes. Uncle Guang sent the family of three to Zhao Rongtian's dinner.

Mr. Li was recently brought to Kunqu by Uncle Guang. You should sing with me in the car, making Li Shuo and his mother laugh.

Zhao Rongtian lives in the center of Upper East District, next to Central Park. He built a small artificial lake on his own. It is the only Chinese mansion in Upper East District. I remember that this mansion has also been in the domestic media, but Li Shuo is here for the first time.

Uncle Guang parked the car at the door of the mansion under the guidance of security.

Li Shuo said: "Uncle Guang, don't fall asleep when you listen to Quer, remember to leave a gap in the window."

Uncle Guang waved his hand: "No."

"Wait for us, obediently." Li Shuo smiled and patted Uncle Guang's shoulder.

Mrs. Li stepped out of the car, and Li Shuo stooped to arrange her slightly wrinkled skirt.

With this bowed effort, he heard a thick baritone calling his father's name.

As soon as he looked up, Zhao Rongtian took his wife out to greet them, followed by a tall young man behind him.

The moment Li Shuo saw the face clearly, his head exploded.

Zhao, Zhao Jinxin? !!

Zhao Jinxin did not take a deep look at him, and then gave a well-behaved smile: "Uncle Li, good aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time, why aunt is getting younger and more beautiful."

Mrs. Li smiled and her eyes were bent: "Jin Xin 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 big brother? So handsome."

"Hello." Li Shuo nodded at Zhao Jinxin, as if they had never seen each other before, he smiled generously: "Uncle Zhao is good, aunt is good."

"Oh, it's a talent." Zhao Rongtian looked up and down Li Shuo and smiled. "I saw you as a kid last time."

Mr. Li said with emotion: "No, last time you saw him, Jin Xin just crawled. In a blink of an eye, the children are all grown up, and we are all old."

Mrs. Zhao laughed: "Before Jin Xin was absent, or Li Shuo was absent. This is the first time that we have a party of six. Come in, let's have a good talk."

Four elders walked ahead, followed by Zhao Jinxin and Li Shuo.

Zhao Jinxin glanced at Li Shuo and whispered, "I said, we'll see you again." The tone was a little smiled, and I was quite determined.

Li Shuo stared at his dad's back without squinting, pretending not to hear, and quickly walked into the room.

Facing this unfortunate coincidence, Li Shuo has turned from surprise to calmness. But thinking of this relationship between their fathers, he was worried that he could not be clearly involved with this person. He doesn't like to mix up private affairs and business affairs. Avoiding trouble is far more important than making money. I am afraid that cooperation needs to be reconsidered.

During the dinner, the two owners talked about the stock market. The two ladies politely showed off their sons. Zhao Jinxin and Li Shuo sat face to face. Li Shuo always looked at his mother with a smile, to avoid unnecessary eye contact with Zhao Jinxin.

Zhao Jinxin raised his glass: "Brother, come, let's have a drink."

Li Shuo raised his glass gracefully and touched him along the glass.

Mrs. Zhao hid her mouth and smiled, "You two are a bit older, or you must have grown up together."

"It's a pity, I wish I knew the older brother earlier." Zhao Jinxin said sincerely.

Li Shuo laughed: "No."

"What's your hobby? Do you have any fun?"

"Tennis, skiing, diving, how about you?"

"I just like it. Let's go together next time."

Li Shuo smiled slightly: "Okay."

"Xiao Shuo, Jin Xin will go to the country in the future. You must take good care of this brother." Mrs. Li ordered.

"That is certain." Li Shuo agreed with a smile and turned to Zhao Rongtian. "Uncle Zhao, I heard my dad say that you intend to open up trade in the north."

"Yeah, it's not like you're in Beijing. It's more reliable for us to cooperate with our own family." Zhao Rongtian waved his hand. "However, let's just eat and chat today. We will talk to our company tomorrow."

Li Shuo nodded with a smile.

Zhao Jinxin said, "Brother, would you like some beef?"

"Oh, no, I'm full, thank you."

"If you eat well, I'll take you to the lake? Let's eat."

As soon as Li Shuo wanted to refuse, his dad said, "Go on, you young people, have a good talk."

Li Shuo wiped the corners of his mouth slowly, and took a sharp look at Zhao Jinxin, who laughed particularly innocently.

Li Shuo stood up, smiled and made a "please" gesture. He wanted to see what kind of moth Zhao Jinxin could use.

The artificial lake dug by the Zhao family is right next to the Central Park. It is very cunningly designed, not only to see the beautiful views of Central Park, but also at night or fog, when the surrounding buildings are not so prominent, it looks like the entire Central Park is The back garden of their Zhao family.

Li Shuo narrowed his eyes and looked at the lake under the night.

"The scenery here is pretty good." Zhao Jinxin put his hands behind his head, exhaling comfortably.

"It's beautiful," Li Shuo said sincerely.

Zhao Jinxin chuckled: "I forgot how old I moved here, and every time I was near this lake when I was young, someone followed me, for fear I might fall into it, how could I be so stupid."

Li Shuo thought that Zhao Jinxin was a biography of Zhao's family, and it was only when Zhao Rongtian was about forty years old. That was really their life-the root-son. It was not surprising to hire eight people to watch for 24 hours.

Li Shuo did not answer. He waited for Zhao Jinxin to say something or do something. He didn't want to admit it, but he was a little curious about what Zhao Jinxin dared to do.

Zhao Jinxin bent down, picked up a stone from the grass, and threw it vigorously towards the center of the lake.

With a bang, the small stone fell into the lake, and a small circle of quiet ripples swayed in the moonlight.

Li Shuo was still impassive, but there was some alert, after all, Zhao Jinxin "sneak attacked" him on the plane.

"Although it's good here, I still prefer my apartment." Zhao Jinxin chuckled. "At the highest level, nearly two hundred meters above the ground, there are no higher buildings around."

Li Shuo remembered what Zhao Jinxin said on the plane, and couldn't stop the picture in his mind.

Zhao Jinxin next to him followed the temptation: "Take off-light in the swimming pool, storm-exposed to the sky and sunlight, as if the whole world is empty, but when you look down, you can see the cars and rivers on the street Children flying kites in Bin Park. But no one will see you, see what you are doing, you will start to feel ashamed-shame, but you will soon ... "

"Okay." Li Shuo was interrupted at birth. He suddenly discovered that his thoughts were being taken away by Zhao Jinxin. Whether it was speculating what Zhao Jinxin would do or whether he was forced into the picture by Zhao Jinxin, he was "invaded" by the idea of ​​this person. Not a good thing. He paused, showing a somewhat helpless smile, "Jin Xin, your suit does not work for me, it has nothing to do with your charm. In the face of our fathers, let's just say nothing happened on the plane, we Making friends is not good. "

Zhao Jinxin gave him a sideways glance, then smirked: "It really doesn't work? The picture I sent you, do you like it?"

"Like, you are in good shape," Li Shuo admitted frankly.

Zhao Jinxin blinked her eyes: "There is‘ better ', do you want to watch? ”

Li Shuo put his hands in his pockets and shook his head with a smile: "If you can't associate with me normally, then we'd better not associate."

Zhao Jinxin gazed at him for two seconds, and laughed, "Okay, I won't make you laugh."

Li Shuo raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "I'll go back first." He was about to leave.

Zhao Jinxin grabbed his arm: "What's the hurry, I'll take you to the lake to play?"

"No need, it's so dark ..."

"It's fun only when it's dark. We can put fireworks on the lake, which is very beautiful."

Li Shuo politely resolutely withdrew his hand: "No need, I have limited time to return and want to spend more time with my parents." He nodded towards Zhao Jinxin, turned around and walked back.

Zhao Jinxin looked at the back of his departure, and always smiled at the corners of his lips.

Until Li Shuo's back disappeared, he took out his cell phone, dialed a phone, and said lazily, "Hey, brother, I saw him."

"Well, you have a good vision, and it completely matches my taste."

"Xunzi also has a good vision ..." Before the words fell, Zhao Jinxin moved the phone away from her ear, and then said with a smile, "Don't be so fierce, just kidding, you have such a bad temper that you will lose your life."

"Relax, brother, although it is a bit difficult, but ..." Zhao Jinxin squinted slightly, "This is fun." 2k novel reading network
