chapter 263 The Pain of Identity Transformation
Li Yuan is gradually improving his parents' understanding of him.
Today’s is just a small matter after all, and it won’t have any impact no matter what you do, but I can’t guarantee whether it will be a big deal next time.
It takes a process to transform the relationship with parents.
For example, did he dare to find excuses to threaten his parents when he was a child? Obviously not, but if he did, a portion of fried meat with a feather duster would definitely be a must.
At that time, his parents were at the top and he was at the bottom.
No matter what happens at home, my parents make the decisions and I don’t even have the right to make suggestions.
This is a social structure where those who control productivity also have the right to speak, and only in this way can the entire family function.
Otherwise, if he were a child in charge, he would definitely use all the money in the family to buy food first.
It's exactly the same as the current scenario. As the leader, parents should help him make decisions as little as possible, or force him to do anything.
At present, the two of them rarely speak when it comes to decision-making, but after all, they are parents, and most of the time their will overrides Li Yuan's, so they are inevitably tougher.
It is not obvious in small matters, and Li Yuan has great advantages of his own, so it is almost impossible for him to have problems caused by his parents' dominance.
But if Li Yuan was a little weaker, in a passive situation, his parents would suddenly become strong.
He might follow in Liu Hao's footsteps.
Liu Hao's situation is the result of his parents' strong intervention after he fell into a passive situation.
When Zhou Juan saw the photo, she was really scared.
My son is chatting with such an important person?
And then you called him back?
It's impossible not to feel scared.
"Xiao Yuan, if you had told me about this kind of important matter in advance, I would have known about it. Is it too late to go back now?"
She asked tentatively.
"Mom, they didn't tell me in advance when they came. Besides, how could I tell others about this kind of thing? I can't bear the consequences if something happens. As for going back... forget it, they've already left."
"well……"
Zhou Juan sighed.
Some of them regretted their actions, while others were uncomfortable with the switch in positions between themselves and their sons.
When Li Yuan was disobedient when he was a child, she could threaten him in any way she wanted.
This trick can still be used even after you go to college.
But now, it can't be used .
Besides causing trouble, it is causing trouble...
If the son says he is busy, then he is busy. It is just like when the son asked for candy and they refused with righteous words.
Li Yuan stood up, walked to Zhou Juan, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Mom, don't think too much. It actually has no effect on me. If I really can't come back, no matter who calls me, I will definitely not agree."
"Well, I won't call you anymore. Work is more important."
"Work isn't as important as my parents. It's mainly because today is a little special. If it were something else, I wouldn't delay our reunion ."
"Then they won't be angry?"
"I don't know, but I just added him on WeChat, I'll give him a video call and ask."
Li Yuan took out his mobile phone, found the contact information left by the God of Wealth, and then made a video chat with him.
After saying so much before, my mother may believe it now, but if she encounters something in the future, she may waver.
After all, there was no evidence at all.
Zhou Juan just stared at the phone screen blankly. It’s not that she didn’t react, but she really wanted to take a look.
She had never thought in her life that she would be able to come into contact with such a big shot.
Even though her son became the richest man in the eyes of others, she just felt that he was a little richer and the big shots in the county were a little ordinary.
She didn't dare to think of anything else.
After all, when I came to Jiangzhou, I didn’t feel like I was being criticized at all.
After a while, the video was connected.
Looking at the scene on the other side, Zhou Juan's heart was in turmoil.
"What? Have you figured it out? I'm here yet, why don't we sit down and talk?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "No, I just wanted to apologize to you. After all, I didn't invite you to dinner."
"Heh, if you're willing to talk, I can even treat you to a meal."
"Ha, forget it. My mom asked me to go home for dinner."
As he spoke, Li Yuan pulled his mother in front of the camera.
The God of Wealth must know Zhou Juan, even though he had never seen her before.
He said with a smile: "Comrade Zhou Juan, thank you very much for raising such an outstanding son. We will never forget your contribution."
Zhou Juan: “…”
She couldn't speak because she was shaking a little.
The man is certainly real, there is no doubt about that.
Zhou Juan has quite a lot of idols, but they are not those kinds of stars .
The person in front of you is one of them.
Seeing this, Li Yuan said, "My mom just wanted to see you. Now her wish has been fulfilled. I'll hang up first."
Without waiting for the other party to say anything, Li Yuan hung up the video.
Zhou Juan hasn't come to her senses yet.
To be honest, she felt a little aggrieved before and felt that she was no longer close to her son.
Now that kind of emotion has disappeared completely. His son is really no longer on the same level as them. All the things that happened before are no longer suitable to be applied to his son.
only……
"Why did you hang up? How rude."
Li Yuan said: "Then why don't you call again?"
Faced with this situation, Zhou Juan became scared again.
He said to himself, "He's so busy, it's not nice to disturb him."
People always let others persist, but when it is their turn, they like to make excuses.
Li Yuan let go of his mother and returned to the sofa, and the matter was over.
No matter from which perspective, Li Yuan achieved his goal.
Today is the day I officially confront my parents, before that it doesn’t count.
In the past, in the eyes of parents, elders were the sky.
When facing Jiang Yuanqiao, their subconscious mind was to let Li Yuan do their bidding.
Not only them, Jiang Yuanqiao himself also thinks so.
But in fact, many things have changed.
For example, the Thirteen Protectors' business of collecting wine, to put it bluntly, is the money Li Yuan gave away. If Li Yuan finds someone to collect it himself, he can save at least 10% of the cost, which means that the Thirteen Protectors will earn 15% less profit.
After all, they collected more than 900 yuan, so even if Li Yuan had no connections, he could still get 1100 or 1200 yuan.
He is willing to let the people around him benefit, but there is a prerequisite: don't put pressure on yourself.
Jiang Yuanqiao had a great psychological advantage when facing himself, otherwise he would not have asked me to help him find some job that could make money.
However, this psychological advantage will disappear in the future.
Because I am not just a rich man...
After he earned his first billion, he never thought about just being a rich man, otherwise he could have retired by then.
Jiang Yiling whispered: "Why did you play that video? Mom is under a lot of pressure."
"It would hurt me if they put pressure on you for no reason."
Jiang Yiling: "There's no pressure. I called because I knew you could come back. Otherwise I would have made up an excuse."
Although that’s what we say, making excuses is actually a form of pressure.
For Jiang Yiling, lying is an unfamiliar skill.
"Hey, shouldn't you focus on the word 'heartache'?"
"Hey, it's rare that my husband starts to say sweet words, but it's a little stiff. From now on, use me as a test subject and practice more."
Li Yuan: “…”
He also knew that it was very stiff, but he really couldn't find that sweet feeling.
He was wondering whether he should watch two idol dramas.
After all, dating is a long-term business, and it is basically certain that he will not choose anyone other than Jiang Yiling.
After waiting for about half an hour, Jiang Yuanqiao came over first, followed by Li Wanhe.
During the meal, Jiang Yuanqiao asked Li Yuan about his recent work situation, mainly asking what he was busy with on Saturdays and Sundays.
Of course Li Yuan used the God of Wealth as a shield.
After saying this, Jiang Yuanqiao didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, Li Wanhe pulled Li Yuan to the study and said angrily, "What's wrong with you, you bastard? Are you really not going there once?"
He spoke the last half sentence in a very low voice.
During this period, he found excuses every day to visit Zhou Ranran in the hospital, bring some things over, and hug his eldest grandson.
He felt so miserable. The look in his eldest grandson's eyes melted his heart, but he just couldn't recognize him.
I wanted to chat with Zhou Ranran, but I never had the chance.
If Li Yuan went there, Zhou Ranran could still find an excuse, otherwise why would Zhou Ranran go to talk to Li Wanhe?
Not only is there a generation gap between the two, but on the surface they have no relationship at all.
"Dad, didn't you go there for me?"
As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Wanhe glared and said, "Will it be the same if I go or you go? No matter what, going is also a kind of attitude. If you don't even have an attitude, how disappointed will Ranran be?"
At this time Zhou Juan knocked on the door.
Li Wanhe walked over and opened the door a crack. When he saw it was Zhou Juan, he opened the door and let her in.
Li Wanhe said, "You came at the right time. Didn't you plan to teach this kid a lesson? I'm here to support you today! No matter how rich he is, I'm still his father."
The old couple had already planned to use this incident to teach Li Yuan a lesson.
After all, they felt that what Li Yuan did was really too much.
Zhou Juan glanced at Li Wanhe and said, "Xiaoyuan can do whatever he wants. Ranran has no objection. Why do you have an objection? Just visit your class and don't worry about it."
For a moment, Li Wanhe felt as if his wife had been possessed by another spirit.
"What's going on? Are you on the side of this brat?"
"He is my son. If I don't stand on his side, who should I stand on? On your side? You and I have no blood relationship."
"???, is that what you told me before?"
"Before was before, now is now... Anyway, this is Xiaoyuan's own business, he can make the decision himself, there is no need for us to say anything."
Because of the sudden change, everything became a mess for Li Wanhe.
He even forgot what to do next.
But Zhou Juan didn't forget.
She said to Li Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, you said before that you would not give Ran Ran anything, but I discussed it with your father and decided that this is not a good idea after all. We cannot let the child suffer any injustice. You can give us some, and we will not spend it. We will leave it all to the child."
Li Wanhe yelled, "What's going on? Is it necessary to ask this guy for his opinion on this matter? He has to give it to you whether he wants to or not!"
"Yeah, yeah, here, here, listen to my dad. How much do you want?"
Showing his strength is one thing, but Li Yuan doesn't want to have a cold relationship with his parents.
You should still cater to others when it is time to cater to them.
"About 30 to 50 million per month. If we save for a few years, it will be enough."
Li Yuan said helplessly: "Dad, 300 to 500 million a month, 400 to 500 million a year, where can I get so much money?"
"Hey, you're stingy even with this little money, right? We're not spending yours. You're the richest man after all. According to what you said, you have 10 or 20 billion. He's your son after all. Why are you so reluctant to spend even 400 or 500 million?"
Li Yuan: "Dad, that money belongs to the company."
"The company is yours."
"Yes, but I need to deduct taxes when I take money out of the company. I can't bear the high taxes and give the money to you to save, right? The company still has many other places where it needs money."
Li Wanhe wanted to say something, but Zhou Juan stopped him and said, "Just listen to Xiaoyuan and wait until he has money in the future."
"This brat is just looking for excuses..."
Li Wanhe didn't believe what Li Yuan said.
He is now eager to settle down his eldest grandson, so that he won't miss the chance in a few years.
It was just that he had originally planned for his wife to work with him to put pressure on Li Yuan to make him more generous, but his wife turned against him halfway.
He had no choice but to go to Li Yuan for it.
Li Yuan said, "Dad, I'll give you one million a month as living expenses. Don't worry about Sister Ran's affairs. I'll make arrangements myself. If you want to visit the children, go ahead. If you don't want to, that's fine."
Li Wanhe said to Zhou Juan: "Look, is this human language? My Li family really doesn't have this kind of bloodline, it must have been brought by your Zhou family!"
"Yes, yes, they are all from my Zhou family. Your Li family has not had a single reliable person for eight generations. It would be strange if you could have such a son!"
"??????????"
…
Li Yuan saw that the two elders had a disagreement and hurriedly left the study.
In fact, this is a very common thing.
Dad asked me for money, that's right.
Thirty to fifty million a month is not a bad idea.
After all, according to their thinking, once Li Yuan and Jiang Yiling got married, it would be impossible for them to plan anything for Zhou Ranran. Otherwise, once Jiang Yiling knew about it, the old couple would not only lose face, but they would also have no courage to live.
Before you get married, you can still find some excuses for yourself.
They didn't believe that Li Yuan could handle the matter. In their opinion, such things were caused by irresponsible young people and they, the adults, had to clean up the mess.
Isn't this the meaning of adults' existence?
But Li Yuanzhen had never intended to let them interfere in this matter. He told them at the beginning just to make them restrain themselves .
After Li Yuan walked out, the two people's voices immediately became quieter.
In the living room, Jiang Yiling and Jiang Yuanqiao were chatting about something. When they saw Li Yuan coming over, Jiang Yuanqiao asked, "What happened to your parents?"
"I don't know. We were just chatting about naming the child. But I don't know why we ended up arguing. Maybe we were not satisfied with the child's name."
