Metropolis: My Rising Life

"Okay, okay, I'll be there on time, then we'll see you then."

Chen Yi assured Li Shiman with a smile.

"See you in the emperor then, handsome brother Chen!"

Li Shiman's cheerful and lively voice came, "...I have to talk to my uncle and hang up first, and I will keep in touch in the future."

Li Shiman's voice contained a slight complaint, but that complaint wouldn't make people feel annoying.

Although there are not many contacts with this girl, Chen Yi can feel that this is a very smart woman, not to mention other aspects, but the emotional intelligence is absolutely high.

After hanging up, Chen Yi groaned.

With the current status of the Li family, it is indeed not good enough to take the initiative to call his junior to invite him, and if he sends a staff member to call him directly, it seems that he doesn't pay enough attention to it.

Therefore, the Li family directly invited Li Shiman, a person of his generation, to invite, which was reasonable in all respects.

Without letting himself think about it, Chen Yi called the grandpa directly.

"Xiao Yi, what's the matter if you call me?"

Chen Yi just dialed that special number, and he was connected before ringing twice.

"Grandpa, are you busy now?"

Chen Yi asked with a smile.

"Hehe, it's not too busy, just talk about it."

In a quadrangle courtyard in the imperial capital, Mr. Chen waved his hand and motioned to his secretary to leave first. He would be reporting any work for a while. 25

Secretary Zhang saluted him, and left temporarily.

"Is such that……"

Chen Yi pondered his tone and didn't have so many twists and turns. Facing his grandfather, he didn't need any extra words, just to say what Li Shiman said about the invitation of the Li family.

"I think about it and I don't know what they are looking for. I can't refuse from the Li family, so I have to ask Grandpa for your advice, so I can prepare in advance."

"...I'm afraid that when I say the wrong thing there, it won't be good if I do the wrong thing."

Chen Yi said cautiously.

Grandpa was very satisfied with Chen Yi's behavior and said with a smile: "...Yes, it is a good thing to be cautious. If there is anything you don't understand, you should take the initiative to ask."

"...You young people now, you just like to tuck things away by yourself. If you don't say that we old people can't give pointers, it seems that our old people are very useless."

It can be seen that Grandpa appreciates Chen Yi's active inquiry.

After a pause, the grandfather continued: "...It's not a bad thing for you to go to the Li family, but it's a good thing for you."

"...As for what to say and do, I don't think I need to teach you. Although you are not old, you are mature and stable in your work, I don't worry!"

"If it were your sister-in-law, I might have to tell her a few more words."

Chen Yi shook his head and smiled when he heard what the grandpa said.

Don't let my sister-in-law hear what you said, or she should lose her temper again, it would be uncomfortable to be treated as a child of someone else's family.

However, although the grandfather still didn't know the specific situation, since it was a good thing, then he also let go of his mind.(Read more @ mtlarchive.com)

As expected, the route taken by the Li family is completely different from that of the Chen family, and it can't even be related to each other, so it is impossible to have any political conflicts.

"Just give enough respect to the Li family, but don't care too much. The heyday of his family has passed."

"...Although years of hard work have enriched his family's political resources, the current position of the pillar of his family is not high, and no one can say for the future."

"As for the old guys, although they are still very prestigious, the Senate can't listen to them. The current seven senators are trying their best to erase the influence of those old guys."

"... But as long as those old guys are still alive, they can keep their families prosperous. No one moves. Basic respect is still to be given."

Chen Yi listened respectfully to Grandpa's words.

Even people with high wrists will gradually weaken their influence when their position is absent and they retreat to become second- and third-line.

However, political struggles sometimes involve struggling to live a long time. As long as people don’t die, then the dead camel is bigger than the horse, and no one dares to underestimate it.

How many people hang on like that and just don't leave, all for the sake of their own family.

As long as you are still alive, then others will not be able to move your own home, so there is enough time for the heir's position to be stable, and the family will not be liquidated after the death of the elder.

If you can kill all your political opponents, it will be your own absolute victory.

"Okay, I see, grandpa, you pay attention to your body and rest early!"

"Haha, so are you, Xiaoyi. Although young people are physically strong, they can't waste capital casually. They have to be well raised from an early age, and don't regret it when they are old."

"...I don't have to worry about it here. I have to live another thirty or forty years no matter what, watching you juniors grow up and paving the way for you."

I had another chat with Grandpa. After the old man hung up the phone first, Chen Yi put away his mobile phone.

"Hey, some of you will be busy in the coming days."

Chen Yi pressed his forehead and felt that there were so many things in all aspects.

Both Pinduoduo and Douyin are on the right track. Douyin is a good app, and the core algorithms are there. Just be a shell, find a good artist, and do a good job of publicity.

But Pinduoduo needs to pay more attention to it, and it takes a lot of energy.

Two days later, I will go to the imperial capital to meet the current patriarch of the Li family, and then I will go to Monaco. I don't know how long I will stay in Monaco.

When I return from Monaco, I have to spend time practicing horsemanship every day to improve my system level.

For the next one or two months, it is estimated that there is not much time in school. This student is really unqualified.

"I've said that when I'm a Shenhao, as long as I spend money to enjoy it, I didn't expect to end up in various social interactions."

Chen Yi shook his head helplessly.

However, he also knows that pure money is water without roots, and there is no sense of security at all. Only by having power and a higher social status can one truly become stronger.

I don't want to think about these problems for the time being. I need to find a quiet time to think slowly. Chen Yi has returned to the restaurant.

After two phone calls for more than half an hour, food was served in the restaurant early, and a group of boys gathered together to drink and brag. It was so lively.

"boss!"

At this time, a rather honest male voice came. Chen Yi looked at the voice and saw Zhang Hongchao, the senior, who was also the manager of his milk tea shop, walking over.

"How come Senior 777 came here?"

Chen Yi nodded. Although he called the senior, he was very leading.

He carefully looked at the former big man from the northern countryside, and saw that he was very energetic. He just smiled and said: "...a good complexion, senior, it seems that a small life is a good life."

"It's all thanks to your boss!"

Zhang Hongchao often goes to work, and is very good at compliments.

He looked at the noisy surroundings, and said: "... Knowing that the boss, you and your classmates are over for dinner, I will ask the store to make some milk tea and deliver it."

Chen Yi took a closer look, and everyone really had a cup of milk tea in their hands.

"Then I came to the boss to report on the situation in the store this month."

Chen Yi looked at Zhang Hongchao and saw the ambition in his eyes.

After Chen Yi borrowed a sum of money from Minbank, the chain of high-end milk tea shops is expanding in Shencheng.

It may be difficult to directly benchmark Starbucks, but it relies on the excellent taste and the high-end feeling specially created by Chen Yi.

In addition to various support for marketing strategies, Yicha has gradually gained popularity in Shencheng.

The new stores are full of people every day.

On the contrary, because this first store is located in a remote place, even if college students come to buy it, it is still far from those commercial centers.

Zhang Hongchao may want more.

It's good to have ambition. Only when there is ambition, there will be motivation. Chen Yi needs such hardworking employees instead of salted fish.

"Well, you can report to me when the party is over."

"Okay, boss!"

Zhang Hongchao said quickly. .
