Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 341 You can’t wade in troubled waters

Shen Yueying and Liu Jinhui talked about things they should pay attention to during pregnancy, and pointed out various taboos intentionally or unintentionally, including the rule about not meeting each other during happy events, but they couldn't explain it too clearly.

Li Weidong felt a headache after seeing it. He could only speak out about this matter. If he allowed his mother to continue talking, she didn't know when she would say it or even reveal the problem.

But the time to say it now is definitely not right. Talking about your daughter-in-law in front of the mother-in-law, or talking about the mother-in-law in front of the daughter-in-law will not help matters and will only increase the conflicts between the two parties.

Li Weidong said helplessly: "Mom, get me some food. I'm almost starving. I didn't even eat anything on the plane?"

The daughter-in-law came back, and for Shen Yueying, most of her worries were settled. At this time, she heard her son mentioned being hungry again, and she suddenly began to care about her son.

"Sister Yan, is there still chicken soup simmering in the pot? Give him a bowl of chicken noodle soup. The food on the plane is really terrible. Just give him some rice and some messy vegetables. How can he eat it?"

Li Weidong sighed. The chicken soup he was simmering was either for Li Qian or Li Qian's mother. Anyway, there was nothing to do with Li Weidong. It was probably a coincidence or someone else's fault that he could make some noodles with chicken soup.

After having a grandson, his son's status has begun to decline. He thought that the child would be better off as he got older, but as the child became able to call his grandparents, his treatment became lower and lower.

It is estimated that the grandson is a relative, but not the son. Who can explain this logic clearly, but most of the old people are relatives of the next generation. If they don't kiss their sons and grandchildren, how can they make sense.

It’s past eight o’clock, which is not too late in the weather in April and May. Economic activities are now frequent. At this time, there are many dance halls, karaoke rooms, movie theaters and video halls, and night markets on the street.

Li Weidong was eating noodles when he heard a noise outside the door. He raised his head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. Li Weidong wondered, who would come at this hour?

Liu Jinhui and Li Qian, who were sitting at the table and watching Li Weidong eating noodles, looked outside when they heard the movement. Within a few seconds, they heard Li Weibing's voice.

"Auntie, is my brother back?"

"I'm back. I'm eating noodles. Have you eaten? Let's have another bowl of noodles. There's a lot of noodles?" Although Shen Yueying looked down upon this nephew, she still greeted her kindly for the sake of her relatives.

"That's a good relationship. Mom, please scoop me a bowl. You don't know how difficult this client is today. I saw at least ten houses. I finally settled on the one I looked at first. But I'm exhausted. But I can get a commission of two to three hundred yuan from this order, and then I will honor you by, um, buying you some clothes!"

"Okay, I'll give you a piece of clothing. If you have the money, go and honor your parents. You're a grown man now. It's only right to find a wife who won't let your mother worry about you!"

Although Li Weibing's mouth was sweet, Shen Yueying didn't answer. Although his nephew had this intention, he couldn't accept this favor. Besides, he had his son, and he didn't want anything.

"Auntie, you can't say that. Now is not the time to start a family first and then start a career. Nowadays, it's important to start a career first. Besides, without a career, any good girl can fall in love with us. Do you know what it means to not talk about the family until the Huns are destroyed? "

After nearly two months of training, Li Weibing has become more and more eloquent. He is quite good at dealing with rural women like Shen Yueying.

"Hmph, I don't know about this. I just know that people in the village say that Li Weibing doesn't have a wife in his twenties. It would be strange if I had such a son and wouldn't have to worry about dying!"

Shen Yueying sneered at Li Weibing's words. She was still over 20 years old and not married, and she wasn't in college. She would be embarrassed if she said anything about it. With a son like this, he wouldn't be so angry.

This kind of dimensionality reduction blow was difficult for Li Weibing to accept. Although it was normal for people of his age to get married in rural areas, when Li Weibing came out and saw the prosperity of the city, his heart had already changed. How could he be so anxious about marrying a wife?

"Auntie, what you said is right. My parents are all focused on my sister-in-law. She is the eldest son and grandson. I am not in a hurry. Just wait. I will definitely marry a college student!"

"It's just you. It's good if someone takes a fancy to you. Okay, these are noodles. There are some side dishes in your brother's house. You go and eat them. Once you're full, you can continue to dream!"

Shen Yueying would never believe that Li Weibing could marry a college student wife, so she handed Li Weibing a large bowl of noodles with a chicken drumstick on top.

"Mom still loves me. This chicken drumstick makes me hungry. Even if I'm full, I can still eat this bowl!" Li Weibing said happily, holding the bowl, and his talk became more and more slippery.

When Li Weibing entered the living room with noodles, Li Weidong's bowl of noodles was already empty. Li Weibing quickly said: "Brother, I haven't touched this bowl, you eat first!"

"Come on, if you don't eat this noodle, it will be lumpy. I won't eat it, so hurry up!" Li Weidong drank the soup in the bowl and said.

Putting down the bowl, Li Weidong asked: "Why are you here so late? How have you adapted in the past two months? How many houses have you sold? Have you paid back the money you owe the bean cake?"

"Brother, what you said is that you are back, can I not come? Don't I miss you? If it weren't for the difficult customer today, I would have been here long ago!" Li Weibing said flatteringly.

"That's it, as long as you don't cause trouble, it'll be fine!" Li Weidong looked at Li Weibing and thought he was pretty good, at least he wasn't as submissive as when he first arrived.

"That's not possible. I have learned a lot in the past two months. I originally thought that selling a house is not a big deal. Some people are selling it and others are buying it. We are just the middlemen. Who would have thought that this is so much!"

"How many houses can a person buy? It's not prudent to be cautious. Don't think it's bad if the customers are picky. They say it's the business that praises and criticizes. How many customers will buy it if they are not picky!"

Li Weidong started to teach Li Weibing. I don't know if it was just a matter of the past two months of training, or if he really grew up. He listened to Li Weidong's words seriously, and finally found a notebook to record them.

In the end, Li Weidong felt that he had gone too far, and that his previous demands on Li Weibing were too high.

Liu Jinbo's wedding was held at the Four Seasons Hotel. It was lively and grand. Almost all the guests were dissatisfied. If there were any dissatisfaction, it could only be out of jealousy.

Li Weidong is a brother-in-law, so he should be relatively busy. He would not be given tasks such as greeting guests, doing chores, drinking tea and chatting with them, and he wouldn't have enough time for a day anyway.

He did this kind of thing in his previous life, but in this life no one gave him orders, no one dared to let him do such chores, even if he wanted to find something to do.

With so many hotel waiters watching, as long as he reaches out for a job, someone must be one step ahead. With Chen Lu watching over him in this hotel, Li Weidong will not be kept busy.

After trying it twice, Li Weidong gave up and could only do the job of drinking tea and chatting with guests. The key was that his father-in-law ordered him to do it, so he had to accept it. Chatting was really not his strong point.

It's not that he doesn't know how to chat. If he can make a good conversation, he, a person from later generations, will definitely be able to support his pretense to the end of the world with all kinds of jokes and opinions in his mind.

But he thought that if he wanted to chat with him, he had to let others have their way. When he couldn't sleep, he would sometimes feel wronged to himself. He was a little bloated and no longer wanted to harm himself to please others.

Moreover, the guests at this table were all top executives from the National Cotton Factory, and Li Weidong didn't know anyone. It would have been more appropriate to have Liu Jinhui's uncle, Director Yang Lisong, accompany him.

It's just that as the man's uncle, I have to stay down and accompany the woman today. How can I have the time to accompany these leaders who are about to be laid off?

With so many leaders, they didn't do much other than flattering the leader. Li Weidong didn't know them, and they didn't know Li Weidong either. They all thought they were Liu Yongliang's nephews who came to serve the bureau, and they were not polite at all when greeting them.

"Young man, go refill the pot of water!" An old man picked up the teapot on the table and reached two cups. When he found that there was no water, he looked around and shouted to Li Weidong.

"Wait a moment!" Before Li Weidong could get up, a voice came from outside the door, and a "passing" waiter walked in quickly, looking at Li Weidong as he spoke.

Li Weidong glanced at the waiter angrily, forget it once or twice, how many times has it happened, this Chen Lu doesn't know how to change someone and fool a fool?

The man saw a waiter coming in and handed over the teapot. Of course, he was not very satisfied with Li Weidong's inaction. You are here to serve people, or you are the boss.

However, if you are not satisfied, you cannot expose it on the spot. If you make a mistake at someone else's wedding, you are trying to offend the person to death. Who would do this unless he is a fool?

"Old Liu's life will get better from now on. His son is married, his daughter is married, the task is completed, and he is waiting to enjoy happiness from now on!" one person said enviously.

"Should we wait until later to enjoy the blessing? Look at today's splendid scene. I just took a look at the menu. There's no one at the table who can't order more than three hundred or two hundred. And this wine is all Qizhou puree. Just our red envelope, we definitely won't make any money.

, but if someone dares to do this, it means they are not short of money!"

"You must not be short of money. I heard that his son has opened two supermarkets with several employees. There is an endless stream of customers, and those with a lot of money can open a bank!"

"You must make money to make money, otherwise why would you open a branch? In fact, I think this is not what Lao Liu is best at. His vision for choosing a son-in-law is really amazing!"

Li Weidong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this group of people would gossip about him while chatting, and he immediately became interested.

"You are envious. If you are capable, go find a son-in-law like this. But I heard that he was not that rich at the beginning. He was still a worker at Handong Machinery Factory. He has only been here for a few years. Why?

Are you suddenly rich?"

"I know this. It is said that at the beginning, I was engaged in import and export trade in the Northeast, and later I was trading stocks in Shanghai. It was at that time that I met a few people from Hong Kong and started to prosper!"

"There is another thing. Nowadays, there is no one who is not able to make money by being associated with Hong Kong Islanders. It is easy to make money by following Hong Kong Islanders, but we don't have this fate!" Another person also sighed.

After hearing this, Li Weidong almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He really wanted to blame his father-in-law now and didn't come in to introduce him. He couldn't let him say that I was the rich man!

"I've actually heard about this. Wang Zhengrong from the Handong Machinery Factory originally asked him to smoothen the relationship with the people of Hong Kong. If he can be attracted by the people of Hong Kong, I guess he will not be far from being developed!"

This tone seems to put too much trust in the people of Hong Kong. There are still many people in the mainland who believe that foreign monks can chant sutras, but those who chant sutras are not Tathagata Guanyin.

"This old Comrade Liu didn't even give us an introduction. It's not his son-in-law's money. Hong Kong people's money can't be invested anywhere. If it's invested in our national cotton factory, it won't be so difficult!"

A few people here totally assumed that Li Weidong did not exist, but Li Weidong did not correct this. Since he was regarded as the white glove of Hong Kong Islanders, so be it.

These people at the National Cotton Factory think this way, and Wang Zhengrong also thinks this way, which means that there must be a huge market for people who think this way, and they are exactly in line with Li Weidong's wishes.

In this era, there is no money-oriented and distorted value system like that of later generations. You can have a little money, but too much money is a problem, and the risk of the new capitalism may be brought with it.

"Okay, Lao Li, he started talking drunkenly even before he drank. Comrade Yongliang's consciousness is very high, there is no doubt about it!" the old man sitting in the chair said seriously.

You can chat and tell jokes, but once it involves personal matters, it is easy to offend people if you talk too much. He is the biggest leader and must blow the whistle in time to stop.

"Secretary Luo's lesson is that it seems that my ideological awareness is still not enough and needs to be improved!" the middle-aged man just now said immediately.

As for Secretary Luo, sitting in the main seat, he is naturally the secretary of the factory. The secretary is in charge of the factory director, and he has the final say over the whole factory. It is normal to be serious.

Secretary Luo was very happy when he heard Lao Li respectfully admit his mistake. Although the National Cotton Factory has declined, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so his prestige is still there.

"This little comrade, are you Comrade Yongliang's nephew?" Secretary Luo looked at Li Weidong and asked pleasantly.

Listen to this, if you are a secretary, you must put the word "comrade" on your lips every day, and always make you realize that you are still a comrade, and you must have me as a secretary in your eyes.

"Not really a nephew, but half a nephew!" Li Weidong said with a smile as much as possible in a low-key tone.

A son-in-law who is half a son-in-law, whom he does not know in person.

Several people's expressions became embarrassed and they stopped talking. Just now they said they wouldn't give introductions, but now I can't even see you sitting next to you, so what's the use of introductions.

"Hey, this Lao Liu is really waiting here. I have to let him drink two more drinks in a while. Look, Lao Li, I think Comrade Yongliang's consciousness is very high!"

Secretary Luo said with a smile, and turned to talk about Comrade Lao Li. Lao Li knew that he was the leader at this time, so he could only criticize a few words.

"That's it, that's it. I'll have to give my boss two more drinks in person in a while to reflect on it!" He said it very sincerely and showed complete humility in front of the leader.

Knowing that it was Li Weidong, the topic began to revolve around Li Weidong. At this time, he hoped that the little monitor arranged by Chen Lu could see his situation and rescue him.

Li Weidong felt that talking to them was a waste of life, without any substantial benefit. A group of people had ruined such a large factory. Although the impact of the environment was not ruled out, it also had a lot to do with their abilities.

Until the toasts of the bride and groom were over, no one came to help Li Weidong, so Li Weidong had no choice but to finish the meal.

Li Weidong was indifferent to Secretary Luo's various temptations and temptations. He did not dare to wade into troubled waters. He would pay too much and the benefits would be too low. Only a fool would do so.
