rebirth from small pockets

"How big is this house?"

"How much did the renovation cost?"

"How much does this TV cost?"

"This sofa."

Yanjing~Chen Li’s small home, Ms. Wang started the inquiry mode.

The reason is also very simple. Although Chen Li's house is only about a hundred square meters, he really put a lot of thought into the decoration.

In terms of expenses alone, the money spent on decoration and furnishings far exceeds the price of the house itself.

But this kind of consumption concept is difficult for Chen Li's parents to agree with.

That is to say, Chen Li can now make money, so it is difficult for his parents to interfere with how he spends his money, but they will still ask about the price.

Faced with his mother's questioning, Chen Li reduced the price three times, but was still taught a lesson by his mother.

"Mom knows you can make money now, but this money doesn't fall from the sky."

"The money that should be spent must be used, but it cannot be wasted."

"You said this small sofa costs 10,000 yuan. Although it is a bit comfortable to sit on, it is not necessary."

".!"

Well, how can I put it, the generation gap between the two generations definitely exists, not to mention that Chen Li’s current consumption philosophy even surpasses the current era.

But even so, Chen Li still didn't show any impatience.

What can I say? As a reborn person, he knows very well how happy it is to continue to listen to his parents’ nagging.

Although he had listened to it for many years after his rebirth, he could still understand his parents' feelings.

After all, in terms of age, Chen Li's current mental age is actually about the same as that of his parents.

In fact, to be honest, if Chen Li lived in a large villa or something, maybe his parents wouldn't ask too much about it.

Because in their perception, villas and high expenses are inherently linked.

On the contrary, for this ordinary three-bedroom apartment, if the decoration and furniture are slightly more expensive, they think it is a waste.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, especially after Liu Qingqing came out of the room, Chen Li's mother kept silent.

Ms. Wang is clear about this. She can educate her son at any time, but she will never choose to educate Chen Li in front of Liu Qingqing.

"Auntie, everything has been put away, let's go out to eat!"

Liu Qingqing habitually approached Ms. Wang, then took Ms. Wang's arm and said.

The current relationship between the two is very close. After all, in Ms. Wang's opinion, Chen Li's ability to find Liu Qingqing, the top female scholar, as his girlfriend is definitely a sign of smoke coming out of the Chen family's ancestral grave.

Even though Chen Li has made a fortune now and can be considered a big boss, when it comes down to it, she still values ​​Liu Qingqing, the number one pick in the city.

After all, in the minds of people of her generation, there is no comparison between a businessman and a senior intellectual, even if he reaches the level of a boss.

Of course~ maybe this concept will continue to change in the coming time, and in twenty years time ordinary people will have a reversed concept when looking at scholars and businessmen.

"Eating out?"

"If you want to go out to eat, you can just eat whatever you want outside the house."

"I just saw that there are vegetables and meat in the refrigerator. Just get some."

"Old Chen~ you go get some food!"

When Wang Dongmei heard that she wanted to go out to eat, she subconsciously refused.

This is actually the consumption philosophy of their generation, that is, if you can't eat out, don't eat out.

Later, people generally didn’t eat out because they thought the food outside was unhygienic and unhealthy.

But when Chen Li's parents were in their generation, there was only one reason why they didn't eat out, and that was to eat out.

too expensive!

After all, Chen Li’s parents’ generation experienced an era when the economy was not that developed, so the restrictions on their consumption ability made their living habits develop the concept of not spending outside.

Usually only when guests come to the house, or when you need to ask someone to help with errands, will you go out to have a meal.

And this is called "eating out"!

But if you are just eating with your family, you are definitely not allowed to go out to restaurants. Even if you just cook noodles for a meal, it is much more affordable than going out to restaurants.

Moreover, the savings of Chen Li's parents' generation were not limited to eating in restaurants.

Others include buying clothes, daily necessities, and even traveling. They will subconsciously choose the most affordable option.

Just like when Chen Li and his family took the train to their second father's house in Xijiang for the first time in their previous life, Ms. Wang directly prepared a bunch of things.

Because the train to Xijiang takes a long time, and the lunch boxes on the train are expensive and not delicious, Ms. Wang not only prepared a box of bagged instant noodles, but also cooked bacon, sausages, and eggs.

In the end, I had to buy an extra suitcase to carry all these things.

This kind of thing would definitely not be possible if it were two brothers and sisters, Chen Li and Chen Xue.

Because it’s troublesome and you won’t save much money.

But in Ms. Wang's eyes, doing this is very affordable.

Not only does it cost less than buying a packed lunch on the train, but the food is also quite good.

In other words, there is some trouble, but the thing that people of this generation are least afraid of is actually trouble.

In the previous life, every time Chen Li's parents came to Chengdu to visit Chen Li, they always had big and small bags, all kinds of cured meats, local dishes, and sometimes even live native chickens, etc.

Well, we don’t even need to talk about the past life, but this time when Chen Li’s parents flew in, they also prepared a lot of things at the beginning.

But later I heard that there were too many things and I had to check them in. In the end, in order to save space, Chen Li's parents only brought one set of clothes for each person. The rest of the space was filled with things for Chen Li and Liu Qingqing.

But in fact, when Chen Li left home some time ago, he took something with him.

But parents don’t care about you. In their world view, it is almost natural to bring all good things to their children.

So this time~ they brought a bunch of things in big and small bags.

Now the balcony of Chen Li's house is already covered with bacon and sausages. During the next period of time, there will be no place to dry the clothes.

However, Chen Li has stayed in Yanjing for two years and still knows some friends. Sending some of them to his family can solve this problem.

Here Chen Guofu was about to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but was stopped by Chen Li.

"Dad, don't do it."

“Let’s go to Quanjude to eat roast duck tonight!”

“I’ve already booked the spot!”

As a son, Chen Li knows his parents very well. If he wants to take his parents out to eat at some high-end restaurant or hotel, then Chen Li and Ms. Wang will definitely think it is a waste.

But if you are going to Quanjude to eat roast duck, that’s a different story.

It makes sense~ In his previous life, Quanjude almost smashed his own sign.

At that time in Yanjing City, when it came to roast duck, the locals would never recommend Quanjude.

But for people of Chen Li's parents' generation, they only recognize Quanjude.

Not to mention the generation of Chen Li's parents, when Chen Li in his previous life first arrived in Yanjing, when he mentioned roast duck, the first thing that popped into his mind was Quan Jude.

No matter how bad Quanjude is, its reputation is definitely appropriate for Chen Li’s parents’ generation.

Therefore, when Chen Li mentioned going to Quanjude to eat roast duck in the evening, even Ms. Wang did not object.

Because going to Quanjude to eat roast duck, climb the Great Wall, watch the national flag raising, visit the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven and other scenic spots were originally their goals for this trip to Yanjing.

The family went out, but instead of going to the parking lot, they went to the entrance of the community.

"Don't you want to drive?"

When I came back from the airport, Chen Li drove the car. Now I was going to Quanjude for dinner. Chen Guofu thought his son was going to drive there.

"Don't drive~ I'll have a drink with you tonight!"

Chen Li raised the Maotai in his hand, and then waved to Master Cheng who was not far away.

A Buick commercial vehicle drove over. As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Ruolan got down from the passenger seat and helped open the door.

"boss!"

"Um!"

Chen Li nodded and called his parents and Liu Qingqing to get in the car.

In the car, Liu Qingqing was introducing the identities of Zhang Ruolan and Master Cheng to Chen Li's parents.

"Hey~ Are you equipped with an assistant and a driver?"

Ms. Wang was obviously surprised when she heard what Liu Qingqing said.

She has always seen her son's excellence for all to see.

But to be honest, despite what others always say about how much money Chen Li has made and how much wealth he has made, in fact, for Ms. Wang, the feelings are not so real.

It's not that Ms. Wang doesn't think her son is promising, it's that the "promising" displayed by Chen Li does not exceed the scope of Ms. Wang's understanding.

After all, it is impossible for Chen Li to show his wealthy side in front of his parents. That is, when giving bank cards to family members, Ms. Wang felt a little emotional.

When his family was building a house, Chen Li gave the family one million in one lump sum, which really shocked Ms. Wang.

But...how to say it!

Although one million is very much, it is definitely not so much that it exceeds Ms. Wang’s awareness.

Until now, the appearance of Chen Li's personal assistant and personal driver was beyond Ms. Wang's awareness for the first time.

The reason is also very simple. Ms. Wang has usually only seen this configuration of personal assistants and private drivers in TV series.

Hmm~ If someone else had this configuration, then Ms. Wang wouldn’t find it strange at all.

But if this person is his own son, that's another matter.

But~immediately afterwards, Ms. Wang focused on the co-pilot’s assistant Zhang Ruolan.

To be honest, Ms. Wang’s thoughts at this moment were a bit rude.

Mainly in this era, there are many prejudices against assistant secretaries of the opposite sex.

Especially assistant secretaries of the opposite sex with better appearance are often looked at in a strange way.

Needless to say, Zhang Ruolan's appearance and temperament are natural. When Chen Li first saw this person, he even thought that Zhang Ruolan was a teacher specializing in etiquette training.

Well, okay! In fact, Ms. Wang is worried that Chen Li is young and energetic, so don't find a female assistant to mess around. That would be a disservice to Liu Qingqing, a good girl.

Fortunately, Zhang Ruolan's age is there. Even if Zhang Ruolan takes good care of herself, it is obvious that she is definitely much older than Chen Li.

After discovering this, Ms. Wang withdrew her gaze and started chatting with Liu Qingqing.

As for Chen Li, he was sitting in the back row chatting with his father about two bottles of Maotai in his hand.

These two bottles of Moutai are naturally not the ordinary Moutai sold on the market, but the iron-capped Moutai from the late 1980s.

Such Moutai is naturally worth a lot of money, but it is only 2000. Even if the value of Moutai has increased a lot, Chen Li can still afford it.

In fact, Chen Li really collected a lot of good vintage wines.

Mainly because the price of vintage wine these days is not high, and there are a lot of them on the market, so Chen Li asked someone to specially collect some.

But he has never been a collector. He has only one purpose in collecting these wines, and that is to drink!

Not drinking it by myself, but drinking it when having a banquet with family, friends, or even some important clients.

Chen Li's father naturally loves to drink, but he has never drunk any good wine, and he doesn't even know what the so-called Tiegai Moutai is.

So at this moment, Chen Li was giving his father some popular science, but he actually didn't understand this stuff, so he could only rely on the little knowledge he had before to brag.

"Ring~~!"

Suddenly, the front passenger's cell phone rang, and then Zhang Ruolan answered the call. After a moment, Zhang Ruolan turned around and said to Chen Li, covering the phone:

"Boss, this is Mr. Xiao Ma's call. He said he has something to discuss with you."

The little Mr. Ma in Zhang Ruolan's mouth is actually Ma Xiaoteng. Where there is a small nature, there will be a big one. Mr. Ma is actually Ma Xiaoyun.

"Will you find me?"

"Just say I'm not available today and ask him to come find me tomorrow."

When Chen Li heard that it was Ma Xiaoteng's call, he waved his hand after thinking for a moment.

It's not that he's being pretentious~ It's that Ma Xiaoteng is now in the entrepreneurial stage, but what can I say~ Starting a business cannot be smooth sailing.

So sometimes if this little guy is depressed, he will call Chen Li. It’s nothing serious, just make an appointment for dinner~ and then drink some wine to drink away the bitterness.

There is no way ~ Who makes Chen Li the most familiar partner of Brother Xiao Ma in Yanjing, apart from a few partners?

Naturally, it is not easy to say certain things to partners, as that may affect the morale of the partners, but it is different from Chen Li's confession of bitterness.

Because Xiao Ma always gets comfort from Chen Li every time, and even occasionally gets some inspiration from Chen Li.

After all, Chen Li was born again. Sometimes after drinking too much, he would just let out a few ideas about future e-commerce, which would be enough for the current Xiao Ma to digest.

Of course, Brother Xiao Ma doesn't know Chen Li's true face. He simply thinks that Chen Li is a smart person with vision and ability.

Every time I drink with Chen Li, this guy will gain something from time to time, so this guy is even more energetic.

Not to mention twice a week~ Anyway, this guy will have at least seven or eight meals with Chen Li in a month.

But this guy became very shameless after getting to know Chen Li. Every time he ate, he pretended that he was still in the entrepreneurial stage and asked Chen Li to foot the bill.

This made Chen Li angry!
