It is raining continuously in Shanghai, but the weather in Tanzhou is very good. The sun has been shining brightly for three days in a row. Even though it is already late afternoon, the sun is still shining brightly and there are no clouds in the sky.
Especially where Li Shi was, the yang energy was particularly strong.
Li Shi looked at the "Pounding Practice Picture" he copied and thought, what if in the Tang Dynasty, even if they didn't use the power that could be exchanged for material at any time, they didn't show force to be a general, and just farmed with a handful of strength, what would happen? He can also become a big landowner with many wives and concubines.
He went to the bathroom and washed the ink on his hands. While wiping his hands, he looked at himself in the mirror on the sink and suddenly remembered that Chen Yao said last time that he looked like a college student.
"I am indeed getting younger and younger. I look several years younger than half a year ago. The main reason is that my skin has become whiter and better, and my eyes are clearer in black and white. They are bright and clear. I no longer have any worries and my eyesight has improved." Clear and calm, if you don't speak, just looking at this face, it looks a bit like a student who is still in an ivory tower."
"Actually, that's right... There is a learning panel to suppress one's luck. Where I am, it's an ivory tower."
Li Shi looked in the mirror and smiled calmly.
I left the study and came to the living room, turned on the TV, and took my phone to browse the news of the past few days.
International news is a mess, social news is a mess, and entertainment industry news is even more messy... He frowned slightly, quit Weibo and Bihu, clicked on Douyin, and watched various young ladies showing off their charms.
Suddenly I came across a video of a girl with unusually fair skin dancing on the prairie, thinking that I had never been to the prairie.
"When sketching landscapes, you can list the grassland as an option, just in time to go there."
Li Shi thought for a while and decided that he should go back to his hometown in the next two days and finish the studio classes so that he could walk around while doing landscape sketching.
"In this case, we need to buy the school supplies needed for class quickly."
He switched Douyin to the background, opened the JD.com app, and placed an order for some pens, inks, paper and inkstones needed for soft-pen sketches, as well as various art paints.
It was a coincidence that as soon as Li Shi placed the order, he received a message from Chen Yao: "Mr. Li, as for the hard goods mentioned last time, I am going to take people to Tanzhou to look for you in the next two days. Do you have time?"
Li Shi had actually been waiting for her message, but after seeing her WeChat message, he was not in a hurry to reply. He waited for a few minutes before typing: "I have time. Sister Yao, you are welcome to come to Tanzhou at any time."
Rushing is not a business, it is a business involving tens of millions of dollars, so you can't show urgency.
The bigger the business, the more calm you have to be.
Li Shi said to himself in his heart, anyway, we still have more than 50 million in the account, which is enough to take a long time. This business can be done best, and if it fails, don't worry too much.
Chen Yao quickly replied: "Brother, do you have any video materials? Let me see if your goods are hard enough? (Smirk)"
Li Shi couldn't help but smile.
If you have ever dealt with Chen Yao, you will know that she is a nice person, but she is also very good at using her advantage as a woman to deal with male bosses in the business, calling her "brother" and being non-vegetarian like this. The little joke is just her regular method.
Last time in Pingzhou, if Lu Congwei hadn't had an unusual relationship with her, she would have arranged for the two of them to have a meat meal at the bathing center!
"That's no problem. Sister Yao, just wait a moment and make sure it's hard enough. If the hardness is less than 6.5, feel free to scold me."
After replying to the message, Li Shi came to the study room, dug out the designed drawings of Wu Shi Pai from the bookcase, then sat at the desk, called up the study panel, stretched out his left hand, and selected exchange.
The next moment, a 46-inch-thick glass plate filled with green and white flowers appeared on his left hand!
Take it, come to the floor-to-ceiling window, and appreciate it carefully.
The Wushi brand I designed by myself is thick and full in shape, thick but not clumsy. The overall thickness reaches 10.6 mm. It is full of green glass. It has a dense structure, fine texture and excellent water head. It is difficult to find any flaws with the naked eye, and it is green. The meaning is very correct and even. Under natural light, it exudes a gleaming halo, which is very beautiful.
Li Shi returned to his desk, put the Nothing Card on the desk first, and "looked" at the learning panel——
Name: Li Shi
Physique: 26.9
Wealth: 15.665 [Whether to redeem]
Currently learning: Sketching (Proficient)
Learning completion library: Chinese, car driving, camera photography, competitive sprinting, and middle-distance running.
"Well, it's one centimeter thick and weighs more than fifty grams... If the moisture in the auction is drained, this brand will be auctioned... at least 28 million will be paid. However, private transactions and The auction is different after all... We still need to reserve a profit margin for Chen Yao."
Li Shi thought about it for a while and set the base price at 20 million.
He won't sell it for less than 20 million, and it would be good to keep it for auction next year.
Li Shi took a simple video with his mobile phone and sent it to Chen Yao, then picked up the Jade No Matter Card and locked it directly in the safe.
Before he could walk out of the study, Chen Yao's call came in: "Mr. Li, is there a big color difference between this piece of innocent card and the one in the video? Are there any small cracks inside? What is the specific thickness of the card?"
She talked like a barrage of questions, one question after another.
The more anxious she became, the calmer Li Shi became. He smiled and said: "There is a certain color difference, but not big. It is the same quality as the two egg noodles last time. After all, they come from the same stone... Can't be seen with the naked eye. Cracks, thickness is..."
He patiently answered all the questions one by one.
After chatting for a while, Chen Yao immediately said: "Mr. Li, I will bring someone over tomorrow! You must wait for me!"
"OK."
After hanging up the phone and returning to the living room, Li Shi thought for a moment, then took his mobile phone to call his assistant Zhang Huijing, who had returned from the village, and told her to find a five-star hotel to book two rooms: "We don't know yet whether they will be there." If you stay in Tanzhou for a few days, make some plans, you may also need to take them to visit the surrounding areas of Tanzhou."
"Okay, boss."
Just as he was discussing with his assistant how to receive Chen Yao and the others, a new WeChat message popped up on the screen of his mobile phone, from Wu Yuan: "Teacher Li, I'm here."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shi changed his shoes and went out.
After pressing the elevator button, he typed a reply: "I'll be down right away."
A few minutes later, Li Shi saw Wu Yuan, whom he had not met in real life for a while. She looked thinner than before, but she still had a pear-shaped figure. She was wearing a gray casual suit, which was considered a female uniform. The charm is vividly displayed.
From the moment Li Shi appeared, Wu Yuan stared at him closely until he got into the passenger seat. Then, regardless of the people passing by on the roadside, she directly lifted her plump buttocks from the seat and leaned over. She leaned forward and hooked her hands around his neck.
A few minutes later.
Li Shi, who had a long breath, acted like a normal person, but Wu Yuan, who took the initiative, calmed down her breathing for a long time.
I rubbed my hands, turned on the ignition, and restarted the vehicle.
The car Wu Yuan drove today was a black BMW x5. After it merged into the main road, she began to talk to Li Shi about the procurement of ingredients for their restaurant industry.
"Teacher Li, if your relative can really grow organic vegetables and medicinal ingredients, I can help with sales. Not only do I need it, I can also introduce other restaurant business owners."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but quickly glance to the right - the man in the passenger seat seemed to be transformed from the thirty-three photos imprinted deep in her bone marrow and soul.
In just a few minutes, it was the sixth time.
It was okay when I didn't face him directly. I could only have some beautiful dreams in the middle of the night and bring a few extra sets of underwear to change when I went out.
But being so close to her now, I...
It feels like my heart has grown hairy.
"You drive carefully." Li Shi warned first and then said, "She has just started planting. Although I invested a little money, I don't intend to interfere with her. She will do it by herself first. If there is a need in the future, I will tell you. "
Wu Yuan, who has been working in shopping malls for many years, has long been very thick-skinned. Li Shi's gentle reminder made her blush, and she quickly stopped paying attention to the traffic conditions in front and behind her.
Then he replied: "Actually, in addition to making Hunan cuisine, I have also thought about creating a high-end food brand. Medicinal food is one of the considerations. But then I thought, people's energy is limited. Instead of setting up many stalls, it is better to concentrate first. Let’s make the current Hunan cuisine brand bigger and stronger.”
Li Shi nodded and said, "That's the truth."
The black BMW crossed the bridge, came to Hedong, and drove north along the river for another ten minutes. After Wu Yuan parked the car, the two got out of the car, walked a few steps, and entered a restaurant called "Mr. " hotel.
This is the second store of the Hunan cuisine chain restaurant created by Wu Yuan.
After entering the private room, Wu Yuan quickly ordered the food to the waiter who followed him in.
After a while, store manager Cao Anjiang learned that the boss had arrived and hurried over to see him.
When Wu Yuan saw him, she directly dismissed him: "I'm just here to have a meal with my friends, and then I'll leave. You go and do your own work and don't worry about me."
"Okay, Mr. Wu, I won't disturb you and your friends."
After Cao Anjiang finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the young man next to him who had been silent and just staring at his mobile phone.
friend?
He had seen this boy before who had a tender face and seemed to be about twenty years old. He thought he was a junior in the boss's family, but he didn't expect that he was actually a friend.
Cao Anjiang left the private room and went straight to the kitchen. He asked Wu Yuan what dishes she had ordered and told the chef to cook them well. Then he came out of the kitchen and saw several waiters gathering around and muttering together.
It was not dinner time yet, and there were no customers in the store. It was normal for the waiter to take a break and chat. He didn't want to care about it at first, but after walking a few steps, he seemed to hear them mention "Mr. Wu", so he walked back and asked: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with Mr. Wu?"
Cao Anjiang is the kind of leader who gets along well with his subordinates. When he asked, a little girl immediately said: "Store manager, we are guessing the relationship between Mr. Wu and the male customer she brought."
Cao Anjiang quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
An aunt-level waiter next to her originally wanted to answer, but the little girl who spoke before was quick to speak, so she rushed over and said: "Just now, Sister Li went to do the box service. When she came out, she saw Mr. Wu pouring tea for the male guests and secretly Kissed him.”
Cao Anjiang's eyes widened.
A kiss, secretly?
"That boy looks younger than me, but Mr. Wu is in his thirties. What do you think their relationship is?"
"Bao, pretty boy?"
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect to see the serious Mr. Wu having so much fun... I really envy the life of a rich woman. That boy looks quite handsome."
"Stop drooling."
In the private room, Wu Yuan, who didn't care that her secret kiss with Li Shi was seen by the employees, smiled and asked: "Teacher Li, what do you think of this hotel?"
Li Shi looked around and replied: "It looks very good and hygienic. I just don't know how the food is. I won't know until I try it."
Wu Yuan immediately said proudly: "Although our family focuses on economy and benefits, the dishes and the chef's cooking skills are strictly controlled, and the portions are large enough. Not only for dine-in food, but even for take-out, we maintain the same standards as dine-in food." This level is very rare in today’s market where prepared dishes are prevalent.”
Hearing this, Li Shi asked curiously: "I heard that the takeout platform charges a very heavy commission. How can we make money if eating out is on the same level as dining in?"
Wu Yuan smiled and said: "Relying on small profits but quick turnover, the takeaway business in each of our stores is very good now, and the profits of the catering industry have always been relatively high, so although the platform's commission is considered blood-sucking, there is still money to be made, and We are promoting WeChat mini programs ourselves..."
When talking about the catering business, Wu Yuan was in high spirits and looked particularly confident. She instantly gained the aura of a strong career woman.
Li Shi looked at the woman in a suit and suddenly felt very hungry. This kind of hunger could not be filled with one meal. He thought to himself, it seems that he will have to eat more meals when he goes back.
I'm hungry and can't sleep well.
Well, let her wear this outfit.
After a while, the waiter brought the dishes in.
Spicy prawns, stir-fried pork with green peppers, stir-fried liver and kidneys, fish head with chopped peppers, and stir-fried loofah are all very common Hunan dishes. Li Shi tried it and found that it was indeed delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the chef’s skills were very good. .
"How is it? Although the food cooked by my sister-in-law may not be to your liking, is it not bad?" Wu Yuan asked expectantly.
But when he mentioned Wang Yuelan, he immediately remembered the information he had gotten from chatting with her recently, and clearly felt that she had hidden many things from her, and Wu Yuan suddenly felt a little bad.
My sister-in-law praised that girl to the sky.
For a moment, she felt that she had done something stupid that "lost both her wife and the army".
Li Shi nodded: "It's indeed pretty good."
I have been busy in retreat for the past three days, so I didn’t even eat properly, so I just started feasting.
Next to her, Wu Yuan saw him eating so happily, and her mood suddenly improved again. She kept giving him food with a smile.
After finishing the meal, the two did not return to Phoenix Bay, but continued to drive eastward and came to Wu Yuan's residence - the villa where they first met.
The black BMW was parked in the parking space on the left side of the building, and the two people did not get out of the car immediately.
Wu Yuan, a kind-hearted female Bodhisattva, knew that Li Shi had a large appetite and was definitely not full, so she tried her best to give him extra food.
In fact, she herself wasn't full, so when Li Shi added food, she also ate a little.
Half an hour later.
Li Shi helped Wu Yuan up and said softly: "There is someone outside."
