Chapter 397: This is a trap
The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer. Even if some people want to take advantage of the holiday to travel for a few days, they will come back one after another around the New Year's Eve.
There are more than 200 people in the whole village now, and it is quite lively.
Almost all the villas were full of people, and it even felt crowded.
But this generation is fine, at least within the next ten years, the family should not be divided.
There will definitely be no room for us in ten years.
Zhou Fanshu came over, followed by Hong Ruiting.
He didn't come to see Li Yuan, but mainly to see Li Wanhe, and he had a glass of wine in his hand.
Before Li Yuan could react, Li Wanhe smiled and came straight to the door.
"Fan Shu is here..."
Li Wanhe narrowed his eyes and looked at the two bottles of wine that Zhou Fanshu brought.
This is his food ration for a year.
Normally, he could hardly drink alcohol, but it was different when it came to his granddaughter. Even Li Yuan didn't dare to stop him. At most, he asked her to drink a few sips.
“Grandpa, Hong Ruiting made some money this year, and bought you two bottles of good wine.”
After that, she whispered in Li Wanhe’s ear: “The big bottle is worth ten bottles at ordinary times!”
"Haha, only our Fan Shu can be considerate. Come in and sit down!"
Zhou Fanshu sat on the sofa with a smile, and Hong Ruiting stood beside him.
Li Yuan felt a pain in his liver when he saw this.
Why does this guy look like a dead bootlicker?
In other words, Zhou Fanshu and Hong Ruiting's marriage is a foregone conclusion, otherwise he really wants to kick this guy Hong Ruiting.
Li Wanhe also hurriedly said: "Rui Ting, you should also sit down quickly, we are not outsiders."
"Oh, okay."
Hong Ruiting responded with a simple smile.
Li Yuan said angrily: "Why are you such a coward? You always do the most work in everything, why do you act like a follower?"
Hong Ruiting did not respond, but Zhou Fanshu said: "Uncle Liu, Hong Ruiting is a gentleman."
Li Yuan: "Gentleman! The British Empire is about to perish, what gentleman is there? The strong will always be strong, this is the main theme of the whole world! If you don't have such great ability, don't take on such a big job, or you will suffer in the future."
Even though it was his own daughter, Li Yuan criticized her without hesitation.
What Zhou Fanshu did now was not too excessive. It didn’t matter what he did in private. At least in public, he had never made things difficult for Hong Ruiting to show off his status in the family.
If she dared to do that, Li Yuan would .
Zhou Fanshu muttered, "Anyway, he did it voluntarily, it wasn't my request."
Hong Ruiting smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, yes, Uncle Liu, I really volunteered. I am already very happy that Fan Shu can be my girlfriend."
Li Yuan: “…”
He really doesn't like playing against the wind!
"Okay, okay, you guys volunteered to do this. Just stay here for lunch. When Liu Ling comes back, let her play with you. I have nothing in common with you guys."
He knew a lot about the dog-licking business in his previous life, but he really has no experience in this life.
He didn't have much to talk about with the two of them. They would graduate from college in two years, so there was no need for him to give them any additional instructions.
It's nothing more than an emotional issue. Li Yuan has done his best after teaching Hong Ruiting so many times.
You can't just force someone to do something... that's unrealistic and doesn't do any good at all.
There are quite a few people coming here to eat at noon today. We have to visit every household these days. Except for some people who are busy, most people have put down their work.
Li Yuan came to the study and called Hong Ruiting over after a while.
After letting Hong Ruiting sit down, he said, "Ruiting, tell me honestly, did Fanshu have any evidence against you? I have watched you grow up since you were a child. You used to be very independent. After the college entrance examination, you have gone astray. You could have gone to Peking University or Tsinghua University, or even Jiangzhou University, but you insisted on studying finance in Shanghai. What are you trying to do?"
Hong Ruiting was a little restless, and Li Yuan knew something must be wrong at a glance.
"Hurry up and tell the truth. Don't force me to use the intelligence department to investigate. If I find out, you will suffer the consequences. Not to mention your parents, even your great grandfather won't dare to say anything!"
Hong Ruiting had no choice but to say, "Uncle Liu, I... made a mistake..."
"Hmm? What's your mistake? Are you flirting with other girls out there?"
Hong Ruiting: "No... no ... it was that summer vacation... I accidentally made a mistake with Fan Shu..."
Li Yuan: “…”
Good boy, you have the same style as I did back then.
Absolutely promising talent!
"Is Fan Shu pregnant?"
Li Yuan's words confused Hong Ruiting.
What?
Is this what an elder should say?
“No…no…”
Li Yuan immediately looked very disappointed. He thought the two of them had children outside.
The one who is married now is Qin Sheng, but Qin Sheng is not his biological son after all, so his child still lacks some blood relationship.
Li Jingcheng is married, but his girlfriend is still in college. If he wants to have a child, he has to wait until next year when she is about to graduate from her senior year, otherwise it will not be good for Li Jingcheng.
Zhou Mo has not married yet due to various reasons, and will probably marry after the New Year...
Anyway, he felt that none of these children looked like him.
How great it would be to be like him. He had two kids at the age of 20, and five kids at the age of 22.
When he first heard Hong Ruiting say this, he really saw his own shadow, but it turned out to be a dud!
"Have you gone for a check-up? Is it your problem or Fanshu's?"
Hong Ruiting: “…”
Can he say that he didn't get anything done because he was too nervous at that time?
only……
"That... shouldn't be a physical problem..."
Li Yuan slammed the table, startling Hong Ruiting.
"So you two haven't tried hard in the past two years? Your great grandfather is already over 90 years old, who knows how many years he will live? Hurry up and let five generations of your family live together!"
Hong Ruiting wants to cry...
Li Yuan's image in his mind was completely overturned.
"Uncle Liu, this matter...can't be rushed. We are both still in school, and I am not old enough to get the marriage certificate."
Both of them are twenty years old. Zhou Fanshu is old enough, but Hong Ruiting is not.
Li Yuan would not listen to such nonsense reasons. He just picked up the phone and called Zhou Fanshu.
"Fan Shu, come to my study on the second floor, quickly."
Hong Ruiting asked: "Uncle Liu, what are you doing..."
"What is this and that? You young people are just wasting time. Wait until I tell you something, and then you just shut up."
Li Yuan waited for less than a minute before Zhou Fanshu came in.
"Uncle Liu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Yuan said seriously, "Considering your and Rui Ting's situation, I want you two to get married first, and we can get the marriage certificate later."
Zhou Fanshu: “???”
"Why? Do you have any objection?"
Zhou Fanshu said: "I have a huge objection!"
"Then you reserve your opinion. This matter is settled!"
Li Yuan also did not listen to Zhou Fanshu's excuses, but informed her.
You have been harming Hong Ruiting for two years, so don't even think about denying your debt.
Zhou Fanshu was anxious, as she still wanted to experience two more years of college life.
So he said, “I’m only a sophomore.”
Li Yuan: "What's wrong with being a sophomore? When I was a sophomore, I already had a child! Jiang Shu was my sophomore child."
"I won't do it! I'm going back to find my mom!"
"It's useless for you to ask anyone else. I have the final say on this matter!"
Zhou Fanshu was completely anxious, "Dad, don't force me!"
Zhou Fanshu doesn't dare to call his father "Dad" on weekdays, after all, Zhou Ranran is very strict.
Today, he was obviously pushed into a corner.
Li Yuan said, "Who forced you? This wasn't your own choice. Grandfather Hong Ruiting is in poor health and won't live for many years. Isn't he waiting for Ruiting to get married? You've taken advantage of him for so many years. What's wrong with being filial?"
Hong Dadu from Houcun inexplicably felt that someone was strangling his destiny.
Someone is definitely cursing him.
There are only a few people left in the village who dare to curse him.
The person most likely to curse him is Li Yuan.
Zhou Fanshu said : "I can fulfill my filial duty. I went to visit him on the first day I returned home for the holiday."
"Those are all minor ways. Marriage is the major way."
Zhou Fanshu: "But Ruiting and I have nothing now. We are just college students with only 5,000 yuan a month for living expenses. How are we going to live after we get married? Ruiting has younger brothers and sisters. We don't even have a house. After graduation, we don't even know how to find a job. What if we have a child? What will happen to the whole family? So I want to wait until we graduate and find a job, and then settle down for two or three years before getting married."
Li Yuan: "What the hell is stable? At that time, the grass on Hong Ruiting's great grandfather's grave was three meters high!"
Hong Dadu: “…”
Li Yuan continued, "Isn't it just a house? I'll give you a villa at Tianlan Villa, which is not far from the village."
Zhou Fanshu added, "The villa is useless. Our combined salaries can't even cover the property management fees. After all, it's you who set the rule that the monthly living expenses during college cannot exceed 5,000."
"That's nothing. When you two get married, I'll send you some gifts and you can sell them. Besides, everyone makes money from their wedding. The money they make belongs to you two."
Zhou Fanshu still looked unwilling and said, "What if we have a child? If we have a child, not only will our studies be delayed, but it will also be a big problem to find a job in the future. Someone will have to stay home to take care of the child, right? We are both newbies, and we may both be overwhelmed. Then our life will be a mess."
"After graduation, my family will provide me with subsidies. What's there to be afraid of? I won't starve to death even if I don't have a job."
After graduation, Li Yuan no longer restricted families from giving pocket money to their children. He would casually give them millions, which was better than working for ten years.
How much money can two fresh graduates earn?
"Dad, it's true that we won't starve to death, but we also want a better life. If this delays our chance to study and develop our own abilities, we will only be able to live an ordinary life in the future. I don't want that."
Li Yuan: "I will give you two 500 million yuan in subsidies. Isn't that enough for you to live a luxurious life?"
Zhou Fanshu pursed his lips: "The money you subsidize is dead money after all. Who knows if the currency will depreciate in the future? Who knows if 500 million yuan will only be enough to buy a steamed bun? Only by relying on yourself can you ensure that your family can survive."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, after Ruiting graduates, I will go to Qingtian Capital for an internship. I will be responsible for small projects first, and then I will be responsible for large projects after passing the assessment."
As soon as this promise was made, Zhou Fanshu said with a smile: "Thank you, Dad! Then I will go back and tell Mom that I took the initiative to get married. Um... I will say that I am pregnant..."
"OK."
"Then I'll go first and come back for dinner later."
Zhou Fanshu went downstairs smiling.
Hong Ruiting sat there, confused.
Li Yuan looked at him and asked, "You don't know about this, do you?"
Hong Ruiting: "What's the matter?"
"You're still pretending! Are you two playing a double act for me here?"
Hong Ruiting immediately lowered his head, muttering: "I told you it's unreliable... but you insisted on coming..."
Normally at school, Hong Ruiting would never be such a bootlicker, but when he came back, Zhou Fanshu suddenly had an idea and asked him to cooperate.
The purpose, of course, is to ask Li Yuan for a house and a job.
Otherwise, no matter how much their family gives them, it will not be their own business.
That money is fixed and is far less secure than money you earn yourself.
Zhou Fanshu's series of operations successfully helped Hong Ruiting gain the opportunity to join Qingtian Capital.
No one except Li Yuan dared to open this door.
If no one else gets in and Hong Ruiting performs particularly well, he will basically be the next helmsman of Qingtian Capital.
Guo Meng is already in his fifties and can't stay in that position for many more years.
However, Guo Meng's children are not capable of taking over, and Li Yuan will not let Guo Meng's children take over.
Just like Gu Dongsheng’s children will not take over Nanshan Group, he cannot allow deep-rooted relationships to form between the various industries, as that would get out of control sooner or later.
When he was alive, everything was fine; when he died, everything fell apart overnight.
Li Yuan was not angry at Zhou Fanshu's little tricks, but was relieved instead.
Because he really didn't realize Zhou Fanshu's conspiracy at the beginning, and it was not until the end that Zhou Fanshu's slight lack of patience revealed the flaw.
This idea doesn't seem to have come from Hong Ruiting. It's most likely that Zhou Fanshu came up with it on his own.
He was very happy to see a child challenge him. It didn't matter if he was tricked. It showed that the other person was powerful and he was willing to give up anything.
However... Li Yuan felt that there must be Zhou Ranran behind Zhou Fanshu.
Zhou Ranran has seldom taken the initiative to do anything in recent years. Now that she has reached out, I'm afraid she is also preparing for the Jiang Shu incident.
The time has indeed come.
The talent pool of this generation is already considerable, and the next generation is on the way.
During lunch, Li Yuan went to invite Hong Dadu and Hong Ruiting's father.
Zhou Ranran naturally came over as well, and the two sides discussed the matter of their marriage.
The main decision is based on Li Yuan's opinion. Li Yuan said that he wants to get married tomorrow, so tomorrow is a good day and the whole village will start preparing.
After dinner, the date was set: the eighth day of the first lunar month.
And the Hong family is about to start preparing.
"Rui Ting, come with your dad to attend the meeting on New Year's Eve!"
Li Yuan gave Hong Ruiting a final word of advice.
