Qin Kang and Qin Qing here were eating hot pot with their heads down. Qin Kang's back was facing the direction of the store. He didn't take it seriously. He just thought the hot pot was really good. However, he couldn't eat spicy food, so he just kept drinking water. .
Qin Qing faced Su Qin. She could clearly see the situation there, but she had never met Lin Xi's parents, so she didn't know who the middle-aged man and woman were. She thought they were just ordinary friends of Su Qin.
At this time, Qin Qing discovered that Su Qin was coming here with the middle-aged man and woman. They should have come to say hello and could bring Su Qin over to make a phone call. They must be very familiar with each other, otherwise Su Qin wouldn't Maybe bring it over.
So Qin Qing calmly said to her brother: "Brother, Su Qin's friend came over to say hello."
Qin Kang was unmoved and just said yes and continued to eat hot pot. His guess was similar to Qin Qing's. He was not an ordinary person. Su Qin would not bring anyone over to say hello. His nephew's ability to deal with people was There is no doubt about it.
Qin Qing didn't take it seriously and continued eating hot pot.
At this time, Su Qin had brought Lin Wang and Ning Qing over. He introduced him very directly: "Uncle, aunt, these are Lin Xi's parents. I didn't expect to meet them here today by chance. eat hot pot."
When Su Qin brought Lin Wang and Ning Qing over, Qin Kang and Qin Qing had already raised their heads. After Su Qin finished the introduction, Qin Kang and Qin Qing were a little surprised. They didn't expect that the friend Su Qin went to greet was actually Lin Xi's friend. parents.
This made both Qin Kang and Qin Qing a little surprised. Is this a meeting between their parents?
two people
Although they were all a little embarrassed, Qin Kang was a big leader after all and could easily resolve this situation. He chuckled and stood up and said, "It turns out they are Lin Xi's parents. I really didn't expect to meet them here. We thought we would meet them here." I am a common friend of Su Qin, and I am Qin Kang, Su Qin’s uncle. Hello."
Qin Qing also stood up. She didn't know what to call Lin Xi's parents. Fortunately, Qin Kang took the initiative to introduce: "This is Su Qin's aunt, my sister Qin Qing."
After Qin Qing smiled and waved hello, it was Lin Xi's parents' turn to be at a loss. They knew the identity of Uncle Su Qin, and calling him Governor Qin seemed a bit too official, and would also make their relationship too public. , but calling Brother Qin a little too familiar, and other names seemed inappropriate, which made them hesitant.
In the end, Lin Wang bit the bullet and said, "Brother Qin, we didn't expect to meet you here today. It seems that this is our fate. This is my lover Ning Qing."
Ning Qing said bluntly: "Governor Qin, welcome to Western Shu."
Qin Kang was a little surprised that Ning Qing was so direct. It seemed that the Lin family knew about the Qin family's situation.
The attitudes of Qin Kang and Qin Qing made Lin Wangningqing finally feel at ease. They were afraid of greeting Su Qin's uncle and aunt, who would ignore them, which was a bit embarrassing. When the time came, they would either talk or leave.
Qin Kang took advantage of the situation and said: "Thank you, I have been to Xishu many times, and I have never forgotten the hot pot in Xishu. I just came here to eat hot pot today. I heard that this hot pot is from Lin Xi."
My friend introduced it and it tastes really good. I haven’t had such delicious hot pot in a long time. "
Lin Wang said with a smile: "Yes, after Lin Xi took us to eat once, we fell in love with the taste of this hot pot. We are here again today. I didn't expect to meet you here again. We This is also the fate of hot pot."
Qin Kang also smiled and said, "I have to thank Lin Xi."
Qin Kang immediately said, "Let's not stand around. Let's sit down and talk."
Ning Qing said quickly: "Governor Qin, we have finished eating, so I won't disturb you anymore. I heard from Su Qin that you are bringing the Jiangnan Prefecture delegation here for exchanges. If we have time, we, the couple, will try our best to be landlords. friendship."
Qin Kang didn't expect that Ning Qing would take the initiative to invite him. Lin Xi's mother was very elegant. She knew that Ning Qing was the daughter of Ning Zhi, a leading legal scholar, and the founder of a well-known domestic law firm.
Qin Kangruo
He said thoughtfully: "The itinerary for this exchange between the two states is quite full. I will visit and survey several cities. I am not sure if I have time. If time permits, we will contact you then. If so, If you don’t have a chance this time, I’ll entertain you when you have a chance to go to Jiangnan Prefecture.”
Ning Qing's words were naturally polite. She knew that it was impossible for Qin Kang to have dinner with them. The current relationship between Su Qin and Lin Xi was just a love affair, not an incestuous marriage. The two families could not be too closely related. Today was just It just happened that there was nothing we could do about it, otherwise we might not have seen each other in a short time.
The most important thing is that this time is very special. If Qin Kang eats with them, he will be released to the outside world.
After receiving an unusual signal, Qin Kang naturally wanted to avoid suspicion.
Qin Kang's words were actually a polite rejection, but Ning Qing and Lin Wang were not angry. They just said what they should say. This was also a matter of etiquette.
Lin Wang chuckled and said, "Brother Qin is busy with official duties, so it's more important to get down to business first. Anyway, we will have opportunities in the future."
Qin Kang also smiled and said, "Yes, we will have many opportunities in the future. Su Qin's grandparents like Lin Xi very much."
Lin Wang felt that it was almost done, and it would be too embarrassing to continue chatting, so he said: "Brother Qin, you can continue to eat. Ning Qing and I won't disturb you. We will talk when we meet later."
Qin Kang nodded and said, "Okay, okay, then you go ahead and I won't see you off."
After Ning Qing and Lin Wang said hello again, they asked Su Qin to help take their coats, and they walked straight to the door.
When Lin Wang paid the bill, he didn't forget to tell Boss Liu to buy the table together, but Su Qin told them to just go and buy them together when the meeting was over. Lin Wang thought this was embarrassing, but he was Ning Qing stopped him and said that the family didn't have to be so open-minded, and it didn't matter who paid the bill, so Lin Wang stopped insisting.
In the end, Su Qin personally escorted Lin Wang and Ning Qing to the car and waited until they left before turning back to the hot pot restaurant.
When Su Qin sat down again, Qin Qing joked: "Su Qin, your mother-in-law takes good care of herself. She looks like she is only in her early forties. No wonder Lin Xi is so beautiful."
Qin Kang glared at Qin Qing and said, "Qin Qing, what are you talking about? The two children are just in love. Who can say what will happen in the future?"
Accurate? "
Qin Qing said with great interest: "Brother, do you mean that Su Qin will change his girlfriend, or are you not satisfied with the Lin family?"
Qin Kang knew that this sister always liked to find faults, so he said angrily: "Hurry up and eat your hot pot. Such a delicious hot pot can't stop your mouth. Let's try not to get involved in Su Qin and Lin Xi's affairs and let them Talk slowly by yourself, besides, they are still young and cannot think about discussing marriage."
Qin Qing shrugged and said, "Okay, okay, you, the leader, have the final say."
Su Qin has become accustomed to her aunt's character of quarreling with everyone in the family. When she is outside, she is a goddess, but when she is at home, she is a madwoman. She will say something to anyone who doesn't like her, but no one can do anything to her.
Qin Kang looked at Su Qin at this time and said, "Su Qin, Lin Xi's parents seem to be in good condition. It seems that after you help here, the pressure on the Lin family has indeed been reduced a lot."
Su Qin said bluntly: "The abilities of the brothers Lin Wang and Lin Han in the Lin family are limited. Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin have the final say in everything. Ning Qing's ability is quite good, but it's a pity that she is only a woman, and she is As an outsider, it is impossible for the Lin family to hand over the rights to her, so she has only been in charge of her own law firm."
Qin Qing said amusedly: "Su Qin, do you call your father-in-law and mother-in-law that way?"
Su Qin said disapprovingly: "Auntie, the Lin family has treated me like this. I have done my best to do this. Lin Xi and I are me and Lin Xi, and the Lin family and I are me and the Lin family. I know this very clearly, and I will not do it because of Lin Xi Just to the Lin family
Take a few glances. "
Qin Kang agreed with this and said, "Well, just understand this. You represent the Su family, not you personally. You must stay rational at all times."
Qin Qing listens
He felt a little headache and muttered: "I heard you guys are really verbose. Hurry up and eat the hot pot. Such a delicious hot pot can't stop your mouths."
Qin Kang and Su Qin laughed at the same time, stopped talking about these trivial matters, and continued to eat hot pot with their heads down.
After Lin Wang and Ning Qing left, they started chatting in the car. Lin Wang said casually: "Uncle Su Qin seems to be quite approachable. He is not as difficult to get in touch with as expected. I thought they would do it because of that." It would be a bit embarrassing for us to ignore Su Qin's affairs."
Ning Qing snorted coldly: "Do you think everyone has the same structure as your Lin family? The Qin family is a political family, otherwise they can marry with the Su family? Besides, Su Qin's uncle is still a high-ranking leader. Even if he No matter how resentful he is toward us, he won't show it."
Lin Wang smiled and nodded and said, "That's true. Leaders are destined to be different from us. I haven't seen her on any occasion. But Su Qin's aunt doesn't talk much. Although she is always smiling, her eyes are very cold."
Ning Qing chuckled and said, "You have observed it very clearly, right?"
Ning Qing could not deny that Su Qin's aunt was very beautiful, especially her innate temperament. This was not something ordinary beautiful women could possess, and could only be cultivated in an environment like the Qin family's.
Lin Wang knew what Ning Qing meant, and quickly hugged Ning Qing and said, "Honey, are you here?"
You are the most beautiful in my eyes. "
Who knew, but Ning Qing pushed her away and said, "With your mouth, I don't know how many women you have hooked up with outside recently. I am indifferent to you now. Do you think I don't take it seriously?" "
Lin Wang quickly expressed his position and said: "Honey, you have wronged me. I have been so busy that I fell asleep recently. How can I have time to hook up with other women?"
Ning Qing glared at Lin Wang and said, "I don't dare to measure you."
After Su Qin had eaten hot pot with his uncle and aunt, his uncle had gone back beforehand. He was not here for a vacation and had various work arrangements to do, so Su Qin took his aunt to visit Kuanzhai Alley.
In Beijing, Mr. Li, accompanied by his sister Li Mingyue and brother-in-law Duan Qian, had just finished dinner at the Xishan Manor. That day was a family dinner for everyone in the Li family. Today, Mr. Li entertained his sister and brother-in-law alone. Who asked his sister to Did your brother-in-law help you a lot?
For his sister Li Mingyue, Mr. Li really loves her, and it has never changed since he was a child. She is his closest blood sister, and there is only one sister like this. No matter what she does, Mr. Li will not care.
However, Mr. Li has always had opinions about Duan Qian, his brother-in-law. Who has made the Duan family act like vampires in recent years, reaping a lot of benefits from the Li family? If his sister hadn't married Duan Qian, the Duan family would now be I don’t know what it looks like yet.
Mr. Li increasingly felt that Duan Qian's motive for marrying his sister was impure in the first place, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who could make his sister like him?
Now that so many years have passed, he has nothing to say, but for the Duan family's behavior this time, the Li family
It will definitely not be cheap for the Duan family.
Li Mingyue was still a little worried and said: "Second brother, I sent a message to the eldest brother, but he didn't reply to me. I guess he is really angry this time."
Mr. Li comforted him: "Brother has that temper. It will get better after a while. Don't take it personally. I will talk to him later."
Duan Qian took the initiative to stand up and said, "It's all my fault. If it wasn't the Duan family's matter, Mingyue wouldn't be so anxious. In the end, it made my elder brother angry."
But Mr. Li said casually: "Things have already happened, so I won't say any more."
In fact, after the meeting today, Mr. Li had already discussed his attitude towards the Duan family with his eldest brother Li Zhenzu. This matter definitely did not need to be discussed in a family meeting, and the two brothers could make up their minds.
Second Master Li's attitude is very clear, that is, his eldest brother Li Zhenzu has the final say in this matter, and it can be regarded as an attempt to calm down his anger and avoid any further resentment towards him.
At this time, Li Zhenzu would definitely not be able to spare Duan Qian, the instigator, nor would he let go of the exploitation of the Duan family, so the two brothers discussed the countermeasures on the phone.
, and finally let Mr. Li be the villain.
At this time, Mr. Li looked at his son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law and said, "You guys chat with your aunt for a while, and I'll go to the study with your uncle to talk about something."
Mr. Li stood up slowly and said, "Duan Qian, go to the study with me to talk about something."
Duan Qian's face changed slightly. He didn't know what his second brother wanted to do with him. Little did he know that the Li brothers had already discussed their attitude towards the Duan family, so he could only get up and go to the study.
After sitting down in the study, Duan Qian took the initiative and asked: "Second brother, what can you do?"
You want to tell me? "
Mr. Li was not in a hurry. He took out two cigars from the cigar cabinet and lit one for him and Duan Qian respectively. He knew that Duan Qian liked to drink whiskey, so he poured Duan Qian a glass of treasured whiskey. This was Mai Cullen's 50th Anniversary Edition, a bottle worth $70,000.
Duan Qian took the wine glass and chuckled: "I didn't expect you, second brother, to collect the Macallan series."
Mr. Li smiled and said, "I used to like drinking it when I was young, but now that I'm older, I drink less. But I always collect the ones I like when I see them."
Duan Qianqing took a sip and said, "Yes, it tastes mellow and is a good wine."
Mr. Li was sitting next to him at this time. He smoked a cigar and said, "Duan Qian, Mingyue should have told you the specific matters of today's family meeting, right?"
Duan Qian nodded thoughtfully and said, "Ming Yue has already told me, if my second brother has anything to say, just say it directly."
Mr. Li said unhurriedly: "You also know what the other branches of the family meeting mean. This time the Duan family's actions in Shuzhou are not as good as before. In the past, the Duan family was in the mountain city, and it was easy for the Li family to help with many things. But this time the Duan family wants to control Shuzhou, the matter is not that simple. The Li family and the Duan family are one family. It is only natural that the Li family helps the Duan family. However, the price paid by the Li family this time is extraordinary, so they have to Stop the mouths of those side officials, otherwise my eldest brother and I will not be able to explain."
Duan Qian said bluntly: "Brother, I actually thought about it when I came to Beijing. This time is indeed different from the past. In the past, our Duan family only had small troubles in the mountain city. Although this trip to Shuzhou has been planned for a long time. , but I didn’t expect so many accidents to happen. Now
There is no way to ask the Li family for help, and they are facing a powerful opponent. The Li family will definitely have to pay a heavy price, so the Duan family will never be stingy with what they have to pay. "
Hearing Duan Qian's words, Mr. Li was satisfied. This brother-in-law still had some self-awareness.
So Mr. Li said with a smile: "Duan Qian, since you are so wise, then I will tell the truth. I have discussed it with my eldest brother. Regarding the matter of Shuzhou, the Li family can go all out to help the Duan family, but Duan After our family takes control of Shuzhou, we must hand over 60% of our profits to the Li family. Do you have any objections to this?"
Sixty percent?
This is not a small amount.
But Duan Qian doesn't have any objections to this. The Duan family can't take Shuzhou without the help of the Li family now. What if they give the Li family 60% of the benefits after they win Shuzhou?
Without the help of the Li family, the Duan family would have lost all their interests in Shuzhou, let alone the 40%. This was all given to the Duan family by the Li family, and Duan Qian began to feel secretly happy in his heart. .
Duan Qian thought that the Li family would open their mouths like a lion, but he didn't expect that the Li family was considerate of their feelings and only wanted 60% of the share. In fact, even if it was 70%, Duan Qian wouldn't have any objections. This is what the Li family deserves. , after all, the Li family will take the lead in everything that follows.
So Duan Qian was silent for a while and said: "Second brother, I have no objection to the 60% benefit. Without the help of the Li family now, our Duan family may have to withdraw to Xishu, so I have no objection to it, even if it is 70% benefit. "
Mr. Li said with a smile: "Sixty percent is enough."
Duan Qian said with a smile: "Second brother, then this matter is settled?"
Who knew that at this time Li
The second master picked up the wine glass and chuckled: "Duan Qian, don't worry, there is still more."
Duan Qian was a little surprised and said: "Second brother, are there any other conditions? Just tell me directly."
Mr. Li finally showed his fangs and said playfully: "The second condition is
, the Duan family must transfer 30% of the family's shares to the Li family. "
After hearing this, Duan Qian was shocked and at a loss. He did not expect that the Li family would offer such conditions.
The Duan family's 30% stake is really a big deal.
