"Speaking of which, the safe is actually not 100% safe. When I learn a subject in the future and become a master...then I still have to put it in a portable space, so that it is 100% safe."
Li Shi thought of Mr. Chen, his photography predecessor, and the social news about safes being stolen.
Suddenly I feel that my motivation to challenge the Grandmaster has increased by one thousandth.
…
9:38 am.
Wang Yuelan woke up from thirst. As soon as she sat up, she suddenly felt something was wrong. What caught her eye was a 270-degree large floor-to-ceiling window. The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Under the blue sky and on the riverside, the city's tall buildings were lined up in rows, like a landscape painting. .
This is Phoenix Bay's... master bedroom?
She looked around, completely recovered, lifted the quilt, and wanted to get out of bed to drink water.
"ah!"
She stumbled, and the discomfort made her legs weaken and she almost lost her balance.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, I saw a transparent glass filled with water on the bedside. I picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
When she put the empty cup back on the bedside table, she noticed that there was a small rectangular red paper box on the bedside table. Looking carefully, it read: Erythromycin Ointment.
Certain images immediately appeared in Wang Yuelan's mind, and a blush that seemed both delicate and shy rose up on her face.
When she came out of the bedroom, she saw the figure sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a tablet. She hesitated for a moment, but walked over slowly.
Li Shi was looking for information about agricultural planting. When he saw her coming, he stretched out his left hand and pulled her to sit next to him. Then he picked up the mobile phone next to him with his left hand and dialed the number of his assistant Zhang Huijing.
It rang four times and was answered.
An energetic voice immediately sounded on the other end: "Boss, what are your orders!"
Li Shi couldn't help but smile. Although he had arranged a lot of work for her, this girl was always so full of energy.
Of course, not only is this due to Zhang Huijing's character, but also her salary is relatively adequate, which greatly stimulates her enthusiasm for work.
"You come to Phoenix Bay at two o'clock in the afternoon to report on the situation at the construction site."
Li Shi didn't talk nonsense either.
The main job he currently assigns to Zhang Huijing is to supervise the construction of self-built houses in his hometown.
Zhang Huijing immediately said: "Okay boss, do you need me to make a summary of the data from the public account and report it together?"
"No need for that, you can just give a verbal report in the afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shi stopped playing with his right hand, looked at Wang Yuelan's dignified and pretty face, and asked softly: "Are you hungry?"
"hungry."
Wang Yuelan nodded. She hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so she was naturally hungry.
Li Shi took his mobile phone and opened the Meituan app, but he didn't rush to choose the menu, but looked at her: "The day's plan starts in the morning. You must have a good breakfast, and you also need to take a good supplement."
Wang Yuelan was embarrassed by his look and lowered her head.
…
Because it was breakfast and lunch together, Li Shi ordered a lot.
Wang Yuelan ate fried dough sticks and two eggs, and drank a glass of soy milk. Li Shi felt that she had consumed a lot and should eat more, so he handed her the remaining glass of fresh milk.
After chewing two big meat buns, he called Li Qiaona on his mobile phone.
"Shitou, I finally got your call. If you don't call me, I'm going to call you."
As soon as the call was connected, Li Qiaona's words were like a barrage of words, crisp and ringing.
Li Shi smiled and said: "Nagu, why are you so impatient?"
Li Qiaona sighed softly: "It's not that I am impatient, but time waits for no one. If you want to do it, you must do all the preliminary work before next spring. It takes time to transfer the land. After it is contracted, the wasteland will be sorted out." It also takes time, it’s not easy to be too busy!”
Li Shi came from the countryside himself, so he naturally knows the situation in the countryside. He also knows that once farming reaches a large scale, it is not as easy as imagined. It is not like family farming, which requires one-third of paddy fields, two or three pieces of dry land, and one strong laborer. With a hoe and rake, you can basically do it.
"Don't worry, tell me your specific thoughts first."
"Okay, that's it..."
Li Shi played with Wang Yuelan's hair and listened to Li Qiaona's talk for more than ten minutes. He found that Nagu had considered all aspects carefully.
From the situation in the village to the new agricultural policy, she has done a comprehensive understanding and research.
Clearly, she means it.
"Then how much do you want me to invest?"
"My expectation is that you can invest 800,000, accounting for 40% of the shares. Of course, the specifics depend on your own ideas." Li Qiaona did not hide it and directly expressed her inner thoughts.
Li Shi pondered for three seconds and said: "Money is not a problem, but Nagu, since we are doing business, we have to follow the formal procedures. What do you think?"
Li Qiaona immediately said: "Of course there is no problem, this is what it should be. I have prepared the documents and contracts. Shitou, where are you now, in the county or the provincial capital, I will go find you now."
Li Shi thought for a moment and realized that Gaomei's teaching plan was not ready yet. He should still stay in Tanzhou for a while, and then said: "I'm in the provincial capital. I will send you the address on WeChat later."
"Okay, I'll leave right away and I'll be able to reach the provincial capital in the afternoon!"
Li Shi knew that she was driving by herself and immediately advised: "Nagu, don't rush. You must pay attention to safety. No matter how anxious you are, don't rush now."
"Well, I know. Don't worry. I'm taking Li Hao with me and asking him to help me drive."
Li Hao is Li Qiaona's nephew, and his father is Li Qiaona's eldest brother, but the two are only four years apart.
Hearing this, Li Shi smiled and said, "Brother Hao is back too?"
Li Hao used to work in a factory in Dongguan. He was married and had two children.
Although he is only two years older than Li Shi, compared to Li Qiaona, the relationship between the two is average and they don't have much contact. They only have a phone number saved and they don't even add her on WeChat.
"Their previous factory closed down, so I asked him to come back and work with me. I need help anyway."
"Well, that's good."
After chatting for a while, we hung up the phone.
Wang Yuelan stood up and went to pour two glasses of water. One was handed to Li Shi, and she drank the other to add some water.
Li Shi took a sip, handed the water glass back, and then stood up in deep thought.
Li Qiaona's pursuit of career reminded him of himself.
"My situation is special and I can no longer measure it with ordinary eyes."
"Learning is my career!"
"Studying not only brings me wealth, but also brings me a stronger body and even evolution..."
Li Shi smiled and turned to look at Wang Yuelan next to him.
She was staring blankly at the TV with a low volume, as if she was struggling with something.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Wang Yuelan turned to look at him, pursed her red lips, and whispered: "I'm wondering how to tell Xiaoyuan that I'm going to Yangcheng for half a month. We made an appointment on WeChat to go back to Tanzhou the day before yesterday. When we meet, she will definitely ask me."
Li Shi said without hesitation: "Just tell the truth."
Hearing this, Wang Yuelan bit her lip, hesitated, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Stone, I... between us, I... don't want others to know for the time being."
Li Shi looked at her and was not surprised. Not everyone is Chen Qiuye.
It's normal for her to have concerns.
He reached out and pulled her over.
With a light touch, Wang Yuelan's body trembled instinctively.
Li Shi said softly: "Okay, we just need to know the family affairs ourselves, and we will say to the outside world that you are my life assistant. Well, first, let's give a living fund to your considerate and capable... housekeeper."
With that said, he picked up his phone and transferred 200,000 to Wang Yuelan's account.
Wang Yuelan wanted to speak when she saw so much money, but Li Shi stopped her first: "This is not money for you alone, it is the living funds for the three of us. The living expenses in the future include your going to Yangcheng to buy groceries. , refueling the car and so on, all our living expenses, big and small, even the money you spend to buy clothes and sanitary napkins, all come from this."
After that, he transferred another 20,000 yuan.
"Salary for your life assistant position."
They have a deep relationship now, but any worker should receive reasonable remuneration for his labor.
Then, another 20,000 yuan was transferred.
"This is private money for you."
…
At 11:40, Li Shi drove Wang Yuelan to the South High-speed Railway Station in his Volvo. When he came back, he looked at the Bentley Flying Spur that had not been touched in the garage for a few days and thought to himself, it would not be good for this car to be gathering dust all the time. I will wait until next time when I come back. Zhaoyang County, please drive this car instead.
Luxury cars will depreciate in value if they are driven too much, but he bought the car just to drive it, so it doesn't matter whether it depreciates or not.
After going upstairs, Li Shi came to the study and began to practice copying famous artists.
By speculating and copying the works of many famous artists, he can absorb more painting ideas and techniques and consolidate his own foundation.
"Concentrate on copying for a few days, solidify the foundation a little more, and then start practicing landscape sketching!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, assistant Zhang Huijing came to his door and reported to him the construction status of the self-built house.
After listening, Li Shi watched the video information of the construction site, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "By the way, does my mother still go to the construction site often?"
Although the family was building a new house, it was all handed over to a professional engineering company, and assistants and cousin Li Qiang were sent to help keep an eye on it, but his mother could not rest assured. At first, she went to the construction site every day, and Zhang Huijing and Li Qiang met several times. , worried about the chaos at the construction site and fearing that the old man would bump into her accidentally, so she reported the situation to Li Shi.
When Li Shi was in Pingzhou, he called back to persuade.
Zhang Huijing said immediately: "Boss, after you called, your mother went less often, but she still went. Later, Sister Qiaona persuaded her, and she never went again."
Zhang Huijing often visited Li Shi's hometown of Qiaoyang Village during this period. She had already known Li Qiaona, and if she stayed overnight in the village, she would stay at Li Qiaona's house, so the two quickly became familiar with each other.
Li Shi nodded and asked casually: "What do you think of your sister Qiao Na? She has recently been engaged in planting in the land. Have you heard about it in the village?"
Zhang Huijing also nodded her head: "I heard about it. I also helped her make a questionnaire on organic vegetables and medicinal diets for consumers in the city. I feel that she is a very thoughtful person, and she dares to think and do. I admire her very much."
"Then has she asked you about me?"
Zhang Huijing nodded first, then quickly shook her head: "I've asked about it, but the only questions I asked about my boss were about your life, such as whether you have a girlfriend or not. She never asked about work matters."
Li Shi smiled and said: "It's okay, don't be nervous, it's okay even if I ask, just tell her the truth. Although your sister Qiao Na and I are distant relatives, we have had a good relationship since childhood... By the way, she You should be here in twenty or thirty minutes. Aren’t you going to the village again? Don’t leave in a hurry. Let’s take their car with them later.”
Speaking of rides, Li Shi remembered something and said again: "You often have to help me run around, so you still need a car. You can find out for yourself. It's within the budget of 200,000."
When Zhang Huijing heard that her boss wanted to equip her with a car, her eyebrows couldn't help but fly up: "Okay, boss, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"
Half an hour later, after Li Shi answered the phone, he sent Zhang Huijing to pick up Li Qiaona and Li Hao who had already arrived.
When they saw the flat floor where Li Shi lived, both of them were shocked, especially Li Hao. In his impression, Li Shi was still a kid from one of the poorest families in the village when he was a child. He never thought that he would become a rich man in the blink of an eye. Got it!
Not only could he invest hundreds of thousands in his sister-in-law, but he also lived in such a big mansion... He had fought with Li Shi when he was a child. Looking at his childhood neighbor in front of him, he was filled with emotion.
There was silence next to him, and he didn't say a few words during the whole process.
For Li Shi today, 800,000 yuan is a pretty good amount of money for a jade bracelet, but he doesn't look at it based on the amount of money.
Rather, I want to use this opportunity to expand my way of controlling money.
After chatting for a long time, he finally signed a contract, which was considered the first real investment in his life.
After having a meal at a restaurant, Li Qiaona's two aunts and nephews left with Zhang Huijing and rushed back to Zhaoyang County.
In the evening, after seeing off the guests, Li Shi returned home alone. Looking at the spacious and deserted house, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted with the two women who had met in Yangcheng for a while on his cell phone. Then he got up and went to the study room, adjusted his mood, and began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the practice of copying sketches of famous artists.
I worked hard until 2:30 in the morning. After finishing a stack of sketch paper, I went to bed.
At seven o'clock the next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed, but...
Li Shi stood up, glanced down, and immediately curled his lips.
After just one night without..., the "sequelae" appeared again.
He made a pot of tea, sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the morning scenery along the river outside the window, and thought about what happened yesterday afternoon.
"Nagu is engaged in planting and is targeting the organic grain, vegetable and medicinal food markets. Wu Yuan should have certain insights in this regard. This rich woman's catering business is quite successful."
The plump and juicy figure flashed through his mind. Li Shi couldn't help but tap the tea table with his index finger, and then remembered that Wang Yuelan said that he was a big bull the night before.
"Wu Yuan seems to have said similar things before."
Li Shi picked up his cell phone, found Wu Yuan's WeChat account, and sent a WeChat message: "Sister Yuan, let's meet and ask you some questions about catering."
I'm a little late today, sorry.
Please give me a monthly pass.
