Chapter 4

Li Shuo returned to the restaurant, and his mother said unexpectedly, "You're back so soon? Where's Jin Xin?"

"It was a little cold outside and came back. He went to the bathroom."

"It's a little cold at night. When the weather is good, we will have dinner by the lake." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile, "Li Shuo, I hope you will walk with Jinxin more in the future, I don't like him and some friends of the same age all day long. Together, they often play some dangerous extreme sports, such as the sports you play, you are healthy and safe, you are also stable, Jinxin often contacts you, and will definitely learn a lot."

"Thank you auntie, I'm just a few years older than Jin Xinxu, so I may not be able to teach him anything, but if my life experience can help him, of course I'd be happy."

Li Shuo is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, handsome and uncommon, and his gestures are completely elegant. Mrs. Zhao couldn't help sighing: "Li Shuo is a perfect child. How many girls like him, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Ah... not yet." Mrs. Li twisted her hair uncomfortably. Although they accepted their son's sexual orientation, the Chinese are conservative. After all, this is not a particularly glorious thing, and they don't want too many people to know that the author who is chased and killed by the male protagonist can't hurt (the female supporting member).

Li Shuo said with a smile, "I have a boyfriend."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone froze. .

Li Shuo's words and deeds have always been decent, and he didn't express his hobbies everywhere. He just wanted to take the opportunity to convey a message to the Zhao couple: I advise your sons to stay away from me.

Mr. Li glanced at Li Shuo in disbelief, not understanding what he was thinking.

Zhao Rongtian came back to his senses first: "...Oh, oh, this, young people have their own choices."

Mrs. Zhao smiled awkwardly and could only nod her head.

Li Shuo raised his glass to them and took a sip of wine calmly.

After a while, Zhao Jinxin came back, and as soon as he sat down, he said, "Is eldest brother free tomorrow? Let's go play tennis."

Li Shuo smiled and stretched out his arm: "I just played with my dad this morning. It's been a long time since I played, but my muscle was strained. Next time." He glanced at the expressions of Zhao's couple, and he was obviously relieved. tone.

Zhao Rongtian coughed lightly: "What kind of tennis are we playing? Tomorrow we will go to the company to discuss things."

"Oh." Zhao Jinxin seemed to just remember, "I'll see you at the company tomorrow." He took out his mobile phone, "Brother, leave me a call." When he said the word "telephone", he revealed only Li Li. The ambiguous smile that Shuo can understand.

Li Shuo calmly took out his mobile phone, pressed it a few times, and pushed it gently. The mobile phone slid over the dining table, and he looked at Zhao Jinxin with a half-smile.

As soon as Zhao Jinxin picked up the phone, he saw the blacklist page. He released his number with a smile, and then pushed the phone back: "Please take care of me in the future."

"You're welcome."

After dinner, the family of three said goodbye.

As soon as he got back to the car, Mr. Li said unhappily, "What are you talking about in front of them?"

Li Shuo said calmly: "Zhao Jinxin is not suitable for working together and will cause me trouble. It is best that his parents keep him away from me."

Mr. Li didn't speak, just sighed heavily.

Mrs. Li advised: "My son is not a messed up person. Jin Xin's child has been spoiled since he was a child, so he may not be suitable for working together."

"Hey, yes, I heard that the kid is a playboy, and I don't know if he has any real skills, Xiaoshuo, I won't force you to do anything, you can control it yourself."

Li Shuo shook his father's shoulders and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you, father."

Early the next morning, the Li family and their son went to the headquarters of Ennan Group. The front desk invited them to the conference room. In the conference room, in addition to Zhao Rongtian and Zhao Jinxin, there were two executives and a secretary.

As soon as the two entered the conference room, everyone except Chairman Zhao Rongtian stood up.

It was the first time that Li Shuo saw Zhao Jinxin in formal clothes. He was half a head taller than the foreigner with a big belly. He was wearing a three-piece iron-gray suit with a tie of the same color. Turn around and shoot fashion blockbusters. Li Shuo couldn't help thinking about what kind of perfect flesh-body wrapped in this dress-after all, he had seen the [high cadre] president very black-bellied.

After a few chats, Zhao Jinxin took the initiative to open a chair for the Li family and his son: "Uncle Li, please take a seat, eldest brother, please take a seat."

Li Shuo thought to himself, just based on Zhao Jinxin's serious appearance, who would have imagined that he would make an appointment as soon as he met, and even send half-naked-photos to strange men?

If he hadn't already had Li Chengxiu, he would have really wanted to "see" the apartment that Zhao Jinxin said.

Zhao Rongtian changed from yesterday's kindness, and his whole body was like a leader of a large group. He first introduced two executives, one is his strategic development director, and the other is the financial director who will be sent to China. Then he briefly explained his thoughts on developing northern trade. What he hopes Li Shuo will do is to provide local Policy, tax advice, and audit collaboration.

After he finished speaking, Zhao Jinxin opened the ppt and began to explain their plan. Now the company is still in the recruitment stage, and even the organizational framework has not been completed, but the long-term development of the company seems to be seen by Zhao's father and son. years later.

If it was a small company, Li Shuo would think they were too ambitious, but with such a big office building as Ennan, his evaluation - as his father said - Zhao Rongtian was a visionary.

And Zhao Jinxin's ability has also changed the Li family's father and son. Several issues are very in-depth, and it is definitely not an experience that a fresh graduate can have. In fact, during the few hours of chatting on the plane, Li Shuo knew that this person was by no means a second-generation rich man.

After talking all morning, Li Shuo was actually very interested in this cooperation, which would not only bring considerable benefits to his firm, but also cooperate with Ennan Group, both for him personally and for the firm's reputation in the industry. A leap forward.

It would be a waste to turn down such an opportunity just because of personal affairs. Moreover, he had no reason to be afraid of Zhao Jinxin's "harassment". He should believe in his own principles and determination.

After the meeting, Zhao Rongtian was busy with other things, and asked Zhao Jinxin to take Li Shuo around the company, and invited Li Shuo to have a meal at noon.

Walking out of the office, Zhao Jinxin took Li Shuo to visit the various functional areas of the headquarters of Ennan Group. This office building is located in midtown Manhattan, only two streets away from Rockefeller Center. The land price is very scary. The Ennan Group occupies four floors, and the other floors are rented out.

It is no exaggeration to say that no matter how conservative Zhao Jinxin is, as long as he has such a wealth, countless people will follow him. It's a pity that material things are not so attractive to Li Shuo. After all, he lacks nothing. He works because he enjoys the sense of accomplishment brought by his work, not because of money.

The office is full of employees, Zhao Jinxin behaved generously and decently, but as soon as he walked to the coffee room where no one was there, he was exposed, and suddenly leaned into Li Shuo's ear and breathed: "Do you think I look good in a suit? You have been staring at me just now. follow me."

Li Shuo took a step back and smiled: "To appreciate beauty is everyone's innate ability."

"Well said." Zhao Jinxin stretched out his hand and lightly brushed Li Shuo's tie, revealing a meaningful smile.

Li Shuo looked at his watch: "I won't take up your time at noon. I happened to have an appointment with a friend."

"Have a friend? Why don't you ask me to have dinner, I'll treat you."

"It's not very convenient, next time."

Zhao Jinxin shrugged: "Okay, I'll take you downstairs."

The two walked to the underground parking lot, and Li Shuo stretched out his hand: "Thank you today, contact me after returning to China, let's talk about anything by phone."

Zhao Jinxin took his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, we will have in-depth cooperation." He deliberately emphasized the word "deep".

Li Shuo directly ignored his oily tone, withdrew his hand, and opened the door.

"Is it Li Chengxiu?" Zhao Jinxin put his hands in his pockets and looked at Li Shuo lazily, without expressing any surprising realization.

Li Shuo's body froze, he turned his face and his face darkened: "Are you investigating me?"

"The 21st century is the information age, just get to know you a little bit, don't be so serious."

Li Shuo narrowed his eyes: "Zhao Jinxin, I have tolerated you a lot, don't go too far."

"Are you angry? May I apologize." Zhao Jinxin said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm just... curious, he is so thin, can he satisfy you?"

Li Shuo grabbed Zhao Jinxin's jacket, turned around, and pressed him hard on the door.

Zhao Jinxin raised his hands high, but the relaxed smile on his face did not change at all: "You don't seem to be as principled as you say. In other people's feelings, you are not a third party, so why should you resist me so much."

Li Shuohan said, "You know shit." He was really angry. How Zhao Jinxin teased him before, he was more helpless than unhappy. After all, he didn't offend him when he reached out his hand not to slap the smiling face, but what he said just now hit the point he didn't want to be seen, and Zhao Jinxin didn't want to be seen. Also investigate him!

"I don't know much about it, but I agree with you very much." Zhao Jinxin blinked, "take whatever you want, or grab it if you can't get it. Isn't this male nature? You did a good job."

"It's not what you think, Li Chengxiu was beaten by that bastard..." Li Shuo closed his eyes, why did he say this to an outsider, he opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp and clear, "Our business, I have nothing to do with you. Any relationship, if you offend me even once again, I will not care about any affection again."

Zhao Jinxin laughed: "You are so interesting. I like you, I'm just doing the same thing as you, why are you so afraid? Is it because you can't resist me, or you are afraid of seeing you in me? yourself."

Li Shuo clenched his shirt tightly, his fists clenched so hard, his eyes were so cruel that he wanted to eat people.

The two stared at each other for a long time, Zhao Jinxin was not even a little nervous, and his peach eyes were smiling from beginning to end.

Li Shuo let out a sigh of relief and finally let go of Zhao Jinxin. He didn't like violence, let alone gaffes. He adjusted his clothes, pushed Zhao Jinxin away, opened the door and sat in.

Zhao Jinxin grabbed the car door and said with a wicked smile, "Baby, if that's what you like, I bet you haven't tasted the real 'high-tide.'"

Li Shuo was about to be blown away by him. He opened Zhao Jinxin's hand and closed the car door.

Suddenly, Zhao Jinxin let out a high-pitched scream.

Li Shuo was startled, and when he looked up, the door caught Zhao Jinxin's right hand!

He hurriedly pushed open the car door, looking at Zhao Jinxin's pale face, it was definitely not pretending, he said nervously: "You, why don't you draw your hands... how's it going?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Zhao Jinxin bent over and covered his hands, gasping for breath in pain, "You are too narrow-minded."

Li Shuo took a deep breath: "I swear I didn't mean it, get in the car and I'll take you to the hospital.

Zhao Jinxin sat in the co-pilot, his face began to sweat, and he twisted in the seat: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

Li Shuo pulled the safety belt and tied it to him: "You are such an adult, bear with it, who asked you to pull the door."

Zhao Jinxin looked at Li Shuo, the corners of his eyes drooped, his mouth pursed slightly, and he looked really pitiful.

Li Shuo sighed, somewhat guilty: "I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean it." Although you deserve it.

"I'll believe you when you kiss me." Zhao Jinxin blinked.

Li Shuo pushed his head away: "Sit down."

When the two arrived at the hospital, Zhao Jinxin's four fingers were swollen in a large circle, and there was purple-black congestion where they were pinched, which looked really bad.

After filming, fortunately the bones were fine and the skin was not broken. The doctor put an ice pack on him, prescribed medicine for internal use and external rubbing, and the rest was rest.

Li Shuo looked at Zhao Jinxin, whose right hand was temporarily abolished, and had a terrible headache. He felt that Zhao Jinxin was going to rely on him.

Sure enough, Zhao Jinxin shook his hand: "Send me back, I can't drive like this."

Li Shuo rubbed his temples, took the medicine and the case, and sighed, "Let's go."

Li Shuo thought it was impossible for him to come to the apartment that Zhao Jinxin said repeatedly, but unfortunately, things were unpredictable, and he really came.

As soon as he stepped in the door, some vivid images appeared in his mind, and it was all to blame for Zhao Jinxin, who dared to say anything.

Zhao Jinxin fell on the sofa and said pitifully, "I'm so hurt."

Li Shuo said: "Then what should I do? I can only apply ice now. It's not very serious. The swelling will subside in a few days."

"It hurts, it hurts, it just hurts." Zhao Jinxin showed a puppy-like expression.

Li Shuo sighed, took off the ice pack, and held his hand carefully. Those slender and beautiful fingers were swollen into carrots. He really felt guilty, he touched it lightly, and put his hand on the ice pack again: "Apply it first, cold compress for a day, then hot compress, I will help you divide the daily weight of the medicine, and set a reminder on the mobile phone, you remember to take it on time."

"Then what? Then you leave me alone?"

"I...what else do you want me to do?"

Zhao Jinxin pouted: "I'm hungry, can you cook?"

"Yes, what do you want to eat?"

"Look at what's in the fridge, make whatever you want."

Li Shuo took the pillow on the sofa and put it under Zhao Jinxin's head, "You rest for a while, if it hurts, you can bear it. Although the doctor prescribed painkillers, it is best not to take them."

Zhao Jinxin watched him quietly and nodded, showing a completely different kind of obedience.

Li Shuo thought for a while, reached out and rubbed his head as a sign of comfort, then got up to cook.

Zhao Jinxin watched his back disappear into the kitchen, and whistled softly.
