Friendship, this is a wonderful word
In this life, a person has to experience a lot of things, meet a lot of people, have thousands of friends, and thousands of good friends, but there may only be one or two who can truly be called close friends in a lifetime.
All friends can have friendship, and they can all be betrayed. Some even say that friendship is a tool used to deceive.
Li Jianfei is a well-known person in the Beijing circle, or in other words, the circle with Beijing as the axis and covering the entire North China region.
However, there are natural differences in identity between internal and external people.
Externally, Li Jianfei is a son of a wealthy family. He is a director of several listed companies. He is an outstanding figure with an annual salary of tens of millions and is a rare talent in the business world.
Internally, Li Jianfei is the most outstanding successor candidate of the Li family among the ten major families. He is a genius in the monastic world, one of the important pillars of the family, and the hope that can continue the glory of the family.
However, this is all information for outsiders to see, and it is all an image displayed to the outside world after being carefully selected and designed by the family.
In fact, within the family, Li Jianfei did not dare to have a true heart-to-heart relationship with anyone. Even though these people were all blood relatives of the family, Li Jianfei's talent for cultivation since he was a child made it impossible for him to interact with ordinary people.
That's right, even brothers and sisters in the family can only be placed in the category of ordinary people in the eyes of cultivators.
Since there are two types of people at the root, Li Jianfei will naturally not be close to these people.
Of course, even his own parents, Li Jianfei, couldn't completely believe it.
The interests of the family are above all else. When necessary, when the family needs it, let alone abandoning the children, even oneself is ready to die at any time.
The bigger the family, the stricter the family rules. Not everyone can easily break the mental imprint left on them since childhood.
Before meeting Yu Peng, Li Jianfei lived an extremely cautious life. To describe it as walking on thin ice is not an exaggeration at all. As his talent for cultivation grows, this pressure becomes more and more intense.
There are many things that cannot be said. Li Jianfei is afraid that others will laugh at him if he says it, so neither Yang Yanbin nor Yu Peng know that Li Jianfei has never dared to eat in his family, because when he was growing up, he had to eat at least ten times. Li Jianfei's food had been poisoned. There was even a time when he and Mr. Li ate together and both were detected.
Because of this matter, Mr. Li privately executed more than fifty people, including those in the Presbyterian Church. Therefore, Li Jianfei was both loved and hated within the entire family.
If things develop according to normal conditions, Li Jianfei is qualified to inherit the position of head of the Li family, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Jianfei has no chance, unless Mr. Li insists on making arrangements and makes sure that at least one-fifth of the family will be eliminated by Li Jianfei Be prepared to fall, otherwise Li Jianfei will not be able to control the situation at all.
During the Chinese New Year, Li Jianfei was selected as a member of the family elders council, which made it clear to everyone that Li Jianfei would not take over the identity of the family head.
After all, one of the rules that the Li family has had for hundreds of years is that members of the Presbyterian Council are not allowed to participate in the management of family affairs or elect family patriarchs.
The turmoil in the Li family this time can be said to be very big or very small. In short, it is within the expected range of Old Li's plan and the plan of the new patriarch. As for the specific number of people who died, it is not knew
Regardless of the change of dynasties or the continuation of the family, every time a new person in power comes to power, there will be countless corpses standing on tiptoe. This is a historical law and no one can avoid it.
Therefore, when Yu Peng entered the house to eat, he smelled the strong smell of blood on Li Jianfei and the flying sword he carried.
This bloody smell is a kind of pheromone, it cannot be wiped off by scrubbing
Moreover, Yu Peng noticed that Li Jianfei's flying swords, including the two spiritual weapons he had made for him, were somewhat damaged and had leaked spiritual energy. Li Jianfei's aura was also a little messy, and he must have suffered a lot of trauma.
This should be the reason why he was eager to participate in the auction and had to get some materials to repair the flying sword.
Otherwise, at this time, Li Jianfei should be keeping vigil at his grandfather’s memorial site.
Of course, Yu Peng could also imagine that after his grandfather passed away, Li Jianfei, under the arrangements of his grandfather and the new clan leader, slaughtered many people within the family, and then showed up at the spiritual site, which would be somewhat inappropriate.
I'm afraid the Presbyterian Church doesn't hold their opinion of Li Jianfei lightly either.
Moreover, if Yu Peng's guess is correct, the success of this auction is due to the contributions of many Jianfei family insiders, otherwise
After thinking about it, Yu Peng felt more or less sympathetic to Li Jianfei.
After Yang Yanbin told them their thoughts and plans, Yu Peng felt that it was just money and he didn't need it. If Jianfei needed it, he could just give it to him. It would be inappropriate to ask for any interest.
Li Jianfei and Yu Peng are still not very familiar with each other. He is indeed much older than Yu Peng, but he was beaten by Yu Peng to be submissive. Coupled with Mr. Li's deathbed entrustment, he has high respect for Peng and speaks Not so casual
"This is not good. After all, I am asking for something from you. If you agree to lend such a large amount of money, I am already very grateful. The interest must be calculated, otherwise I will feel guilty."
Li Jianfei said it very politely and well-behaved, but some of the people sitting in this room were unruly. Yang Yanbin immediately spoke out.
"Tsk, tsk, what you said is so hurtful. Talking about money hurts feelings. You are still so raw, it hurts feelings even more. Yu Peng even said no, but you still say that, you don't regard us as friends anymore. Is it"
This sentence is also very strange. Logically speaking, Yang Yanbin and Li Jianfei, who both belong to the most special status in their respective families, should not talk about the word friends casually, but Yang Yanbin said it so casually.
Li Jianfei was a little surprised and embarrassed. On the one hand, he was surprised by Yang Yanbin's attitude, and on the other hand, he was embarrassed about his own position.
Although I have a lot of respect for Yu Cheng, I can only respect him. I am showing respect for the strength and interests that Yu Cheng has shown. I do not regard Yu Cheng as a benefactor or friend.
Li Jianfei received a lot of gifts from Yu Peng, including guidance on his sword-wielding skills and a gift of the spiritual weapon Flying Sword. However, in his cognitive habits, Yu Peng's behavior was all because of the behemoth of the Li family. , the interest exchange act that was just made, what Yu Peng gave to Li Jianfei was to be replaced elsewhere.
Yu Peng's information is known to everyone in the family, and he is helpless. Originally, Yu Peng entered the Li Zhi family, a low-class family, but he was valued by the Yang family and invited Yu Peng to the Yang family through conspiracies. Under the protection of this identity, Yu Peng helped the Yang family improve their military force and forged spiritual weapons for Yang Yanbin. These were all rewards. The Yang family tried their best to obtain so many spiritual energy pills and gave them to Yu Peng. This was also a reward-like mutual benefit. Change
This is just a means of maintaining a relationship of interest.
As for Yu Peng, when he met Li Jianfei for the first time, he promised to give away eight spiritual weapons and flying swords. This kind of rare thing, in the eyes of everyone, Yu Peng just wanted to use this to establish a line with the Li family and find Just another solid backer
The Li family also agreed and approved this operation. Therefore, when it was discovered that the pill had been contaminated with nuclear waste, the Li family carried out a large-scale cleaning, which was also for Yu Peng to see. Of course, there was also Li Jianfei behind the scenes. Wei, a plan to pave the way for the new head of the Li family
Not to mention all this, Li Jianfei has always felt that everything Yu Peng does has his own purpose. It is an exchange of behavioral choices.
So he accepted it with peace of mind.
I'm afraid only Yang Yanbin really understands Yu Peng
Yu Peng does these things completely according to his mood, without any unnecessary thoughts.
Because to Peng, these so-called rare spiritual weapons and weapons, those tens of billions of funds, the status of the Li family, and the connections of the Yang family are all worthless to Peng.
Yu Peng doesn't care about this, and what the Yang family, Li Jianfei and many people need is very simple for him.
Yang Yanbin didn't know that Li Jianfei's flying sword was damaged yet. He only guessed that Li Jianfei wanted to stabilize his position by optimizing the flying sword in this sensitive situation. But this was how he could defeat the eldest young master of the Li family, who was practicing Taoism in Beijing. In the world, the person known as the Little Sword Fairy seems to have infinite possibilities.
Yu Peng built eight spiritual weapons and flying swords in one night. Does he think this thing is still valuable?
Obviously not
He didn't even realize how important those eight flying swords were.
The same goes for money. Yu Peng can be said to be a very, very rich person. An 18-year-old young man has tens of billions of cash flow in his hands. If it were anyone else, he would have spent a lot of money. But with Since being in contact with Yu Peng for so long, Yang Yanbin has not seen any consumption behavior in Yu Peng except that he spent money on food.
Money may be just like many jokes on the Internet. In Yu Peng's eyes, it is just a number.
Yu Peng doesn't care about the number at all. Even if all the tens of billions are gone overnight, Yu Peng may not even blink an eye.
What Li Jianfei said was very formal and reasonable, but in this case, it was completely unnecessary.
For some unknown reason, Yang Yanbin saw that Yu Peng was still immersed in eating, and quickly winked at Li Jianfei, with an expression that said he hated iron.
Yang Ruxin helped Yu Peng manage money and promised to help Yu Peng make money. Of course she was happy that Li Jianfei said this. If it weren't for her brother's friendship, Yang Ruxin would even dare to open her mouth to Li Jianfei and squeeze him hard. As for money, more is better.
She also saw Yang Yanbin winking and guessed what Yang Yanbin was going to do, so she hurriedly spoke, hoping to finalize the matter.
"Love has to be gained, and money has to be earned, so it's settled. I'll draft an agreement later, and I'll make arrangements tomorrow to divide the money into multiple parts and give it to you."
pity
Not as she wished
Li Jianfei was not stupid, especially after Yang Yanbin’s prompting, he immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly interrupted.
"Hey, hey, Miss Ruxin, I'm just being polite. I want to accept the kindness from Senior Brother Yu, but Senior Brother Yu said I don't want it anymore. How can you really accept it?"
This sentence brought back Yang Ruxin's bad impression of Li Jianfei in the past. Li Jianfei used to be a scoundrel. He had dealt with him many times, and they were all extremely scoundrels. He immediately became angry.
Just as he and Li Jianfei were about to go down hard, Yu Peng suddenly interrupted and said
"It's okay. I'm not short of money. I don't know how to spend it, so just give it to him first. By the way, this time in Nantong, Mother Luo gave me some gifts, which are just right for you."
Not paying attention to Yang Ruxin's angry reaction, Yu Peng put down his chopsticks, walked to the living room, and took out something from his pocket.
The house that Yu Peng bought had a large living room at the entrance, and a dining room diagonally to the side. It felt like he had almost eaten, so Yu Peng came out directly.
"Yan Bin, this piece of ice jade can be made into a bed. I will cut it into two pieces later and give one to you."
After Yu Peng took out the huge jade stone, he was about to put it down, but after feeling the thickness of the building and giving Yang Yanbin a look, he took it back.
Can't put it down, it will easily collapse the floor.
"Ru new, this piece of mutton-fat jade is not bad, I gave it to you."
As he spoke, Yu Peng handed Yang Ruxin a piece of pure white jade with fine texture and pure translucency. The stone was the size of a basin. When Yang Ruxin received it in his hand, he felt a little heavy.
"Jianfei, these are some herbs, just for you."
What Li Jianfei gave to Li Jianfei was a pile of herbs given by Luo's mother, including hundreds of years old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. Jianfei's body was injured a little, so he just needed it.
Looking at the extra curls in the room, Yu Peng didn't know him very well, and from the time he entered the house until he ate, Curly had his head buried in silence, but Yu Peng still said casually
"Curly, right? This stone is called black opal stone. It looks pretty good. I think it matches you well, so I gave it to you."
Curly raised his head in surprise. This was the first time that Yu Peng saw Curly up close. His forehead was covered by messy hair, but his facial features were delicate and his skin was a little white. He looked very cute and stubborn. Her temperament, coupled with her height, makes her look a bit like a southerner
She didn't understand why Yu Peng took out so many valuable things at once and gave them away as he said, and he also had his own share.
She hasn't recovered from her shock yet
That piece of ice jade stone more than three meters high
More than three meters high….
Pure ice species….
When I took it out just now, I was hit by the light and almost blinded myself.
Then he said that he wanted to make a bed, and then cut it into half and gave it to Yang Yanbin
They can't be that, right?
Then the gift given to Yang Ruxin was a pure white mutton-fat jade the size of a washbasin. This...
Can it be given away?
In comparison, the herbs that Yu Peng gave to Li Jianfei seemed normal to Curly Mao, because she didn't understand them, so she couldn't see the value.
She was thinking that she could tell at a glance that they were close. The gift to Yang Yanbin was ice jade, the gift to Ruxin was suet jade, and the gift to Li Jianfei was herbal medicine. Then she would probably only have the remaining What a worthless thing
Then, she saw Yu Peng handing her a palm-sized black opal stone.
All she could think about was exploding.
She knows this kind of stone, and she really likes it, but she can't afford it, even if it's just a finger-sized black opal, which costs between three and a half million, she can't afford it.
But Yu Peng casually handed over a piece the size of a palm.
Curly's first thought was not surprise or eyes shining, but panic.
"Damn it, this guy doesn't have any thoughts about me, does he? Yang Yanbin is there. Is he a man of both genders?"
Just now when several people were talking about borrowing billions of dollars, Curly Hair had been listening to music with earphones and didn't listen at all. She turned off the music when she saw Yu Peng getting up and going to the living room and being pulled out by Yang Ruxin.
Seeing that Curly didn't stretch out his hand for a long time and had a weird look in his eyes, Yang Ruxin slapped Curly hard on the back of her head, knocking her staggering, then took the opal stone for her and expressed her gratitude to her.
Yu Peng glanced at Curly Hair in confusion, not knowing why.
But he didn't pay attention to anything. After delivering the things, he sat on the sofa in the living room, put his feet on the table, and stretched out comfortably.
Li Jianfei was also in a daze. The herbs Yu Peng gave him were all good and top-quality medicinal materials. He really needed them urgently. But what he didn't understand was that the jade stone Yu Peng said he wanted to give to Yang Yanbin was also There are mutton fat jade for Ruxin, and black opal for curly hair.
You can buy these things if you spend some money, but you will never give them away so lavishly.
Is this a gift? This is a lot of money
At this moment, Li Jianfei really understood what Yang Yanbin just said. In this way, Yu Peng could give things away casually, and Yu Peng really didn't care about the little interest he said on borrowing money.
It’s not that there is too much money, but that Yu Peng doesn’t seem to really need it.
Yang Yanbin was also shocked and quickly sat on the edge of the sofa and asked
"Mother Luo gave it to you?"
"Well, I did her a favor and she gave it to me as a reward."
Yang Yanbin scratched his face and made a weird sound
"Ah~~!~...How much you have helped Luo Ma!!"
Yu Peng thought for a while and replied:
"I don't think it's that difficult."
Yang Yanbin has long been accustomed to this look. What he said is not complicated. For others, it is really difficult. But then, he curiously asked
"What did Ma Luo give you?"
After hearing this question, Yu Peng replied honestly
"That stone has a piece of ebony, a piece of rosewood, huanghuali and other woods, some herbs, some stone and metal things, some gold, a notebook and some calligraphy and painting, that's pretty much it."
"Oh, by the way, she gave me two of the three pills you gave her."
Yang Yanbin didn't speak for a long time. Yu Peng glanced at him doubtfully and saw Yang Yanbin said in a dull voice.
"Mom Luo...how much of my family's wealth has been spent on giving it to you?"
"She said half"
"puff…"
Yang Yanbin spat out a mouthful of saliva, which almost hit Ru Xin and Curly Mao who were sitting opposite.
However, Yang Yanbin seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly straightened up and came to Yu Peng's side and asked
"Mama Luo has a particularly big piece of golden nanmu. Can you give it to you?"
Yu Peng was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said
"No"
Yu Peng really doesn’t know what the golden nanmu looks like, but when Luo’s mother gave him something, she mentioned the name, so he can be sure that it doesn’t have this name.
"What a pity. It is said that the piece of golden nanmu is the largest log in the country. It is so dense that even a gun cannot break it. The color is brighter than gold. The texture can even look like a dragon. I thought it would be enough to satisfy my eyes just by looking at it. Woolen cloth"
Yu Peng responded:
"Mom Luo only said it was half. She might want to keep the things she likes to herself. Why don't you give them to me? I didn't put in much effort."
In the following time, only Yang Yanbin and Yu Peng were chatting. Li Jianfei occasionally intervened, and they always asked some questions about monasticism. Yang Ruxin and Curly Mao never spoke on the opposite side, and they had no chance to interrupt.
The conversation lasted until around 11 o'clock in the evening. Except for Yu Peng who was still lying on the sofa, several others went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. After finishing, they sent Li Jianfei away and went back to their houses to sleep.
Curly Mao and Yang Ruxin were in the same room, and he didn't know how the two got together. Their relationship was so good that even Yang Yanbin didn't know.
Before going back, Yang Ruxin specially explained to Curly that Yu Peng was not used to sleeping in the bedroom, and the sofa was his place to rest, which once again opened Curly's eyes.
There are so many weird people in this world
