Chapter 308: Beauty Like Jade
Lu Yiming put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Who is it?"
Ning Xuehua pointed at the TV and said, "She."
Lu Yiming couldn't help scratching his head.
Oh my god, the phone call came to my home. What is going on?
He walked over and answered the phone: "Hello?"
Li Zixian's sweet voice came: "Mr. Lu, it's me, Li Zixian."
Lu Yiming shook his head and laughed: "So it's Miss Li, I was watching your news program. This program is really well done, it seems that Miss Li is going to become famous this time."
Li Zixian's bell-like laughter floated into Lu Yiming's ears from the other side of the microphone: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lu. If it weren't for Mr. Lu's guidance, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to shine. I just got a large bonus. How about it? Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner and thank you in person. You're so stingy that you don't even want to give me a business card. I asked many people before I got this number."
As the leading actress of the TV station, Li Zixian has many suitors in the TV station. She is even called the "goddess" in the TV circle full of beautiful women. Everyone covets her but cannot get her. If those people heard she took the initiative to invite a man to dinner and blamed him for not giving her a penalty card, they would be heartbroken.
Since when did their "Pearl Flower" actually start to take the initiative to ask men out for dinner?
She had rejected many similar social engagements before. No matter whether it was the leaders of the TV station or those so-called big bosses who spent money like water, none of them could get what they wanted from her.
Lu Yiming thought about it and realized that the subsequent promotion of Shijinji would still need Li Zixian's help, so he did not refuse Li Zixian: "When a beautiful lady invites me to dinner, there is no reason for me not to go. But I have to go to evening self-study tonight, so how about Saturday night? Hongjingxuan, I heard that the environment there is good. As for the business card, maybe if you asked me sincerely at that time, I might have given it to you?"
"Hahaha, you are such an interesting young man. See you at Hongjingxuan on Saturday night."
After putting down the phone, Lu Yiming was about to stand up when he turned around and saw Ning Xuehua's face. He was startled: "Mom, you're scary, so scary, why are you so elusive?"
Ning Xuehua pursed her lips, then stood up straight without changing her expression, and walked towards the kitchen in a pretentious manner, saying leisurely, "Who has disappeared? I'm going to the kitchen to wash my hands. Oh, by the way, I seemed to hear her say thank you just now? Thank you for what?"
Lu Yiming pointed at the TV screen and spread his hands: "I reported all those things."
Ning Xuehua: “…”
Lu Ding: “…”
The two of them now had only one thought in their minds.
Are you worthy of the capitalists' ass?
It was the weekend, the school was on holiday, and Lu Yiming slept until noon before getting up. While he was brushing his teeth, Li Yiwen rushed into the bathroom impatiently.
Lu Yiming shrank his buttocks and said vaguely: "Are you in a hurry to pee?"
"Fuck, hurry up, I have something to tell you."
Li Yiwen curled his lips and retreated back to the living room.
After Lu Yiming finished washing up, he came to the living room, stretched his body and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? How are you doing recently? Do you miss the extravagant life and revelry in the United States? Oh, by the way, are my parents home?"
Li Yiwen rolled his eyes at Lu Yiming fiercely and started to complain: "How dare you say such sarcastic remarks? Since returning to China, I haven't been able to rest for a few days. I've been so busy that even the donkeys in the production team are not as hardworking as me! When I first came, my aunt happened to go out to buy vegetables, and my uncle probably went to the company."
Now, Tongxin Internet Cafe, Future Capital, Future Fund, Minghua Entertainment, Jingyi Real Estate, Shijinji, and a bunch of shares and stocks of Internet listed companies such as Google that Lu Yiming bought in the United States are all managed by Li Yiwen. Various industries span across both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and the investment projects are even more bizarre. The fact that Li Yiwen was not driven crazy shows that he has strong business capabilities. How can he have time to think about the United States?
After rummaging around in his briefcase for a while, Li Yiwen handed a pile of documents to Lu Yiming: "Here, the financial statements are all here, take a look. And these, these documents must be signed before they can take effect."
Since he was one of his own and a great contributor, Lu Yiming naturally had to comfort him. Before he even looked at his watch, he said, "No problem, cousin, you've worked hard. I'll continue to give you a raise next month."
However, Li Yiwen is no longer an ordinary worker and has long since gotten rid of such low-level pursuits as wages. After all, the dividends from his shares are a considerable sum every month, and the so-called salary is probably just a name.
"If you can stop bothering me, I won't take this salary."
Lu Yiming brought out the still warm breakfast and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Lu Yiming ate breakfast while looking at the report and signed all the documents.
While writing, he also said to himself: "It is not possible without making some efforts. Shijinji wants to launch a new project, so the original candy business has been directly cut off. There are still things to be done in the future."
Li Yiwen was shocked by this: "Is there still work to do later? It's not my business again, is it? Then can I quit now?"
Lu Yiming quickly comforted him, "Relax, it's not that serious. I'm not a devil. I will definitely by myself, and then find someone capable to take over. You just need to keep an eye on it for me when you have nothing to do."
Although Lu Yiming seemed to be sincere, Li Yiwen, who had been "cheated" several times, was still suspicious: "Really?"
Lu Yiming said more sincerely: "Even Pearl is not so sincere. You are my beloved relative, brother, and sibling. How can I bear to lie to you?"
Li Yiwen sighed and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, I'll trust you again."
Although he said he chose to believe, in fact he had no choice. Everything he had now was brought to him by Lu Yiming. After enjoying the feeling of being a rich man, how could he bear to go back?
Seeing that Lu Yiming had signed all the documents, Li Yiwen put all the documents away, stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going back first."
Lu Yiming quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, accompany me to dinner tonight, someone will treat you."
"Forget it. Anyone who goes to this kind of business entertainment is a dog."
Li Yiwen refused without thinking.
If two years ago, someone invited him to dinner, even if it was at a food stall at midnight, Li Yiwen would definitely get out of bed without hesitation . But now, work has consumed too much of his passion, and he is now sick of eating king crabs and salmon, which were out of reach a few years ago. As for those social dinners, he now feels sick just thinking about them.
When Lu Yiming heard that Li Yiwen was not going, he immediately looked regretful.
"Oh, what a pity. The one who invited us to dinner is a beautiful lady. Have you heard of Li Zixian, the leading actress of Baiyun City Mingzhu TV Station? She has a good family background, a good figure, and a good temperament. Just talking about that face that can bring disaster, which man would not be moved? Since you, cousin, are not interested, I have to go alone..."
"etc!"
Li Yiwen interrupted Lu Yiming and asked, "Is she really treating us to dinner?"
As the old saying goes, a beautiful lady is a gentleman's dream.
It has been several years since Li Yiwen graduated from university. He is already quite old, but he still doesn't have a girlfriend. Not only is his family urging him to get married, he himself is also anxious.
In the past, he was just a wage earner and didn't dare to think about such beautiful things, but now he is at least a rich man, so his requirements for his partner are naturally higher. Even a beautiful woman like Li Zixian appears in front of the camera all day long, Li Yiwen dares to think about it.
I have to say that the money in a man’s pocket is his courage, and the more money a man has, the courage he has.
"Well, I have nothing to do tonight anyway, so I'll just go with you."
Lu Yiming teased: "Didn't you just say that whoever goes there will be a dog..."
"Woof! Woof!"
Lu Yiming: “…”
Li Yiwen didn't care what expression Lu Yiming had on his face. As a man, being a bit of a slut occasionally wouldn't make him lose any weight. Although it wasn't evening yet, he couldn't wait any longer: "I'm going to go back and change my clothes now. I'll come over at noon and we'll rehearse together."
Lu Yiming: “…”
Although Lu Yiming called Li Yiwen with the intention of introducing him to him, Li Yiwen's strong reaction still caught Lu Yiming by surprise.
It seems that Li Zixian is quite attractive.
At noon, Li Yiwen, dressed in a suit and tie, arrived as expected.
He bought several sets of brand-name suits in the United States. From belts and ties to leather shoes, all are world-class luxury goods. The word "expensive" is evident from his entire body.
If it were a pay-to-win online game, with all this equipment on him, he would probably be shining with dazzling golden light when he walked on the street.
As soon as they met, Lu Yiming was shocked: "My goodness, you are dressed like this, are you planning to be a groom? Is it that serious?"
Li Yiwen's expression was more solemn than ever before: "Why not? Clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. We should leave a good impression on people when we meet for the first time."
Lu Yiming straightened his collar for him: "Perfect, if she still doesn't like you when you're dressed like this, then it's probably not something that money can solve."
Li Yiwen glared at him fiercely, and the courage he had finally mustered was half gone: "You are such a bad mouth, can't you say something nice?"
Then he put his hands together and bowed in all directions: "Children's words are careless and the wind blows them away..."
Hongjingxuan is a restaurant with a very Chinese style.
Since the selling point is style, the price will definitely not be cheap.
Fortunately, as a popular actress, Li Zixian has some foundation. Plus, the person invited is a billionaire like Lu Yiming, so it would be inappropriate not to meet this standard.
Today, Li Zixian is wearing a light blue slim-fit suit and a pair of ten-centimeter pointed high heels, which make her look tall and straight. It looks simple, but it perfectly shows her perfect figure and intellectual temperament.
When Li Yiwen saw it, his eyes lit up and he could hardly walk.
Even Lu Yiming couldn't help but take a few more glances, muttering in his heart: Tsk tsk, I have to say that the temperament and figure of women who learn dancing are different. Should we also find a dance teacher for Shi Qingxue? Not to mention what results can be achieved by practicing, if flexibility is improved, then wouldn't the beneficiary be him, Lu Yiming Benming?
There is something to be done about this matter.
"Hello, Miss Li, we meet again." Lu Yiming stepped forward and greeted her.
Then, Lu Yiming introduced her, "This is my cousin, and also my most capable assistant in business. He quit his job a few months ago and started a business with me. Now he is considered a billionaire. He is less than 30 years old this year, so he is considered young and promising."
When she heard the word "billionaire", even Li Zixian, who had a gentle and quiet temperament, couldn't help but look at Li Yiwen with higher regard.
She is Li Qingmei's cousin. Her second uncle Li Wanhao is one of the business tycoons in Baiyun City, so he has naturally seen the world.
But even so, a billionaire as young as Li Yiwen is still a rare existence in China, even rarer than a giant panda.
Li Yiwen was very proud and secretly praised his cousin for being so sensible, but he said modestly: "No, no, to be honest, it's only 70 or 80 million, less than 100 million."
Lu Yiming said casually, "In a few years, the Baidu stock you hold will be worth more than 100 million."
"Nice to meet you."
Li Zixian gently shook hands with Li Yiwen, and then invited them to sit down.
Although it is vulgar to talk about money in front of a beautiful woman, living in the world is itself a vulgar thing. Money is the courage of a hero. If you don’t even have money and still want to marry a beautiful woman, isn’t that being a hooligan?
Half a year ago, Li Yiwen never thought that he would have any interaction with a beauty like Li Zixian.
However, now, he can sit together with the leading actress of Mingzhu TV Station, chatting and laughing, and he can't help but feel that he made the right choice when he resigned from his job and started a business with his cousin.
As soon as he sat down, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Congratulations on your great success in this special report. I believe the whole province knows that we have a big shot like you in Baiyun City, right? This is really cause for celebration."
Today, Li Zixian's fame is no longer limited to Baiyun City. Her news reports on the living conditions of domestic workers have received a warm response and have had an influence throughout the province. They have even attracted attention from above and entered the vision of some senior officials.
As a media person, what Lai Zixian needs most is naturally fame.
With fame, she can have everything.
Li Zixian was also very excited about the success of this news, but she did not forget that this opportunity was given to her by Lu Yiming. She immediately expressed her gratitude: "This is all thanks to Mr. Lu. If it weren't for your guidance, I would not have known that the workers in our country are actually facing so much unfair treatment."
Lu Yiming did not bow, but sighed: "The country needs to be built, the economy needs to develop, and the workers' treatment needs to be continuously improved. The people must not be allowed to sweat, bleed, and shed tears. Although I am a capitalist, I am also a Xia countryman. Naturally, I hope that the country I live in will become better and better."
"Mr. Lu has a very high level of ideological awareness."
Li Zixian praised sincerely, and then said: "Now the superiors are determined to vigorously rectify this kind of bad atmosphere among enterprises and promote and popularize the labor law among the workers. This matter has harmed the interests of many vested interests. If they knew that you, Mr. Lu, were the instigator, they would be very angry."
Lu Yiming said disapprovingly, "I despise these local bosses who can only make money from the poor. They are a disgrace to us capitalists. Their way of making money is too low-level, and they don't make much money. If you really want to make a lot of money, you still have to find a way to make money from rich people. Innovation is the kingly way."
Li Zixian couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Lu, if your deeds can be reported, it will definitely cause a sensation. I really hope there will be more entrepreneurs like you in China."
Lu Yiming quickly waved his hand and declined: "Forget it, I'm still a student now, I don't want to be so high-profile, otherwise my life will be messed up. I still want to finish college peacefully, but I don't want too much attention and interference."
Li Zixian looked regretful: "That's really a pity."
Lu Yiming felt that after all, it was Li Zixian who helped Shi Jin Ji to win back the game this time. In addition, if they wanted to become bigger and stronger in the future, they couldn’t let go of publicity. So he said, “I’m not accepting interviews now because of special reasons. It doesn’t mean there won’t be opportunities in the future. If I ever get the idea and want to be famous, I will contact you as soon as possible.”
Li Zixian then smiled and said, "It's a deal, it's a deal."
At this point, the atmosphere was set, and Lu Yiming smiled and suggested to her: "Although it is not convenient for me to accept interviews now, I think you can interview my cousin Li Yiwen."
