Le Wan pushed him away.
“It’s rare for Dad to come home early today. Second Brother’s work has also come to an end for the time being, so Mom said that everyone must come home early for dinner.”
When Zhai Jing heard this, he could only regretfully let her go.
The two of them stayed for another ten minutes before reluctantly parting and going home.
“I’m back.”
Le Wan changed her shoes at the entrance and saw a pair of unfamiliar leather shoes. The sizes were too small and obviously didn’t belong to Father Le and
Big Brother Le. She asked Nanny Zhang, who had just heard the commotion, in confusion,
“Are there guests at home?
Papa Le was a person who was very particular about the separation of public and private, so he rarely brought work home to deal with, let alone entertain guests at home.
Auntie Zhang helped her put the things in her hands away and said softly,
“I heard that he’s a business friend. He came to look for him without telling him. Sir had no choice but to welcome him in.”
Le Wan thought to herself that there was actually such a person who didn’t know the rules. She didn’t know where he came from.
She tidied up her clothes and hair before walking into the living room. She saw Papa Le shaking hands with a short and fat middle-aged man. Then, he put his arms around his back and was about to send him out.
The two of them saw Le Wan enter. Before Papa Le could introduce her, the short and fat man greeted her warmly.
“This must be our eldest niece. Women really change when they grow up.
You’re getting prettier. I even hugged you when you were young.”
He sized up Le Wan from head to toe. Out of consideration for Father Le’s reputation, he didn’t go overboard. However, Le Wan still felt a little uncomfortable.
She tried her best to ignore the strange look in his eyes and looked at Papa Le.
“Who is this uncle? She had never heard of anyone coming to visit before, so she was shocked when she walked in and saw them.”
She was hinting at the man’s unannounced visit, but the short and fat man didn’t seem to hear it. He still rubbed his palms with a smile.
“Aiya, it’s because it’s urgent. I couldn’t wait, so I had to come and disturb you.”
“Well, I was in such a hurry that I didn’t even have time to prepare a gift.”
He rummaged through his pockets and took out a thumb-sized jade pendant with a large head. He handed it to Le Wan.
“Although this jade pendant is a little small, it has been blessed by the master and can ensure your safety. Please don’t take offense, Eldest Niece.”
Le Wan looked at Father Le and hesitated.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s such an expensive thing.”
The short and fat man was also a little reluctant to part, but he could only pretend not to care and wave his hand.
“It’s okay. It’s just a small toy. It’s just for you children to play with.”
Eventually, Le Wan held back her disgust and pretended to be happy as she received the small jade pendant from him.
Seeing that the short and fat man was about to say something else, Papa Le quickly changed the topic.
“Thank you for sending me this news today, but it’s such a big investment after all. I have to be careful, so you asked me to think about it.”
The short and fat man knew that he couldn’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he wasn’t disappointed when he heard Papa Le’s words. He still urged,
“It’s because we’ve known each other for so many years, and we’ve had a life-and-death relationship. That’s why I thought that if we work together to win the project, with my ability and connections, and the Le family’s financial resources, we can easily make a fortune.”
He counted his fingers and said,
“So you have to make a decision early. I got the news a little late. As far as I know, there are several families like the Fu family, the Zhang family, and the Li family who are eyeing this project. If it drags on for too long, someone might get it first.”
The short and fat man spread his hands and said,
“Although we have an advantage because of my brother-in-law’s influence, money is tempting. Who knows if these people will spend a lot of money to snatch business?
“Of course, I believe you, but you also know that the company doesn’t belong to me alone. If I want to transfer so much money to a project, I’m afraid it won’t be easy for the other shareholders to pass. Therefore, even if I wanted to agree immediately, I have no choice. I have to convince those old shareholders
The short and fat man sighed.
“Sigh, it’s not easy for you either. If you ask me, you’d better hurry up and take all the decision-making power in the company into your hands. Only then will you be able to rest assured. That way, you can do whatever you want without any restrictions..”
