Chapter 595 (1/2)
Liu Xiaoman has run away. Li Qing reluctantly shook his head and turned to the hall. He just opened the door. He was just in time for Li Zhi to run out in a panic and almost ran into him.
”What's your hurry?”
Li Zhi quickly stepped back two steps: ”I heard you're back. I'm thinking of going out to pick you up.”
Glancing at Li Shiyi, Li Qing bypassed him and went inward. He said with a smile, ”I don't know the way. I still need you to go out and pick it up.”
”Hehe, too.” Li nodded and said carelessly: ”it's cold enough...”
”Isn't it? On such a cold day, the girl Xiaoman is still running all over the garden. I have to talk to Lao Liu later. It seems that no one can control her in this family except her father.” Li Qing sat down in the chair, looked up at Li Zhi and deliberately said, ”your face is not very good. What's the matter?”
Li Zhi shook his head and sat down next to Li Qing: ”Oh, nothing. It may be that it's cold these two days and I've caught a cold. I grew up in Lingang. I haven't encountered such a cold day for many years.”
”You have to pay more attention to your health. Now the Li family depends on you.”
”I'm fine.” Li Zhi hesitated and said, ”cousin, now there are some criticisms among our people. What do you mean by bringing back such a dry sister?”
Li Qing stared at Li Zhi in surprise: ”tell me, who has criticized?”
When asked by Li Qing, Li Zhi was speechless and had to laugh twice: ”maybe I have a problem talking, that is, several young people don't understand. How can I bring back an outsider at this time? This girl has a wild temperament and has no model of a young lady. I'm afraid it will be difficult to teach in the future.”
”I like Xiaoman very much. There's no other meaning. Don't worry.” Li Qing said calmly. ”With such a little girl who can cause trouble, our family can be a lot more lively. You know, after this great change, the main vein of the Li family withered, and I often feel a lot colder.”
”Well, it's the same.” Li Shi seems relieved to see Li Qing say so.
Seeing that he had relaxed his vigilance, Li Qing smiled at the corners of his mouth: ”but I can tell you clearly that I treat this girl as my own sister. You can look after me at home on weekdays and can't let her be wronged. Especially the small ones in the family, if I find that they deceive Xiaoman, I can't spare them.”
Li Zhi nodded quickly: ”don't worry, I'm watching. Who can bully a child.”
”I'm relieved.” Li Qing smiled and nodded. After so many things, he also has some experience in how to use people. Paying equal attention to kindness and authority is the best policy. ”Qiuqiu is recovering from injury. I have to spend time with her recently. You have to worry more about things at home.”
”Naturally, we are a family.” Li Shiying said slightly, ”is Miss Lin okay?”
Li Qing blinked and noticed the change of Li Zhi's facial expression: ”rest for a while and you'll be fine. Wait until a few days later, I'm going to take Qiuqiu to the Li family for a while, which is also convenient to take care of.”
”Yes, yes.” Li Shisi didn't notice the deep meaning of Li Qingyan. After all, Lin Qiuqiu is still the Lin family on the surface. He never thought that Li Qing had moved the idea of letting Lin Qiuqiu take over the Li family's affairs instead of himself.
To be fair, Li Zhi's ability to handle affairs is also very good, and Li Qing has always been quite satisfied. But at the same time, he also knew that his cousin always had high eyes but low hands. Obviously, he was a housekeeper, but he always wanted to grab the position of home owner with himself. As long as he got the opportunity, Li Zhi would never give up. Li Qing was not good at these family trifles. He handed over all the affairs to Li Zhi. No matter how much he stared at them, something would happen sooner or later. If it didn't work well at that time, it would lead to a farce of brotherhood. In this case, we can only invite Lin Qiuqiu to stare at him.
Lin Qiuqiu's mind is intelligent. She is much better than Li Qing in this respect. She takes charge of the overall situation. Li Zhi can't find any opportunity to take advantage of it.
”By the way, there's one more thing for you to do.” Li Qing took out the address given by Xie Yuyan, approached Li Shizhao and whispered a few words of advice.
Li Zhi couldn't help wondering, ”what does this mean?”
”Just give this address to Ma Baoshan as I said, and repeat my words to him. With the wisdom of director Ma, you can naturally understand what's going on. I'm too tired, so I'll leave it to you. You should remember that things are very important. You can only do it yourself and don't leak information.”
Li Zhi nodded, ”I understand.”
”Then it's all right. I'll go and have a rest.” Li Qing stood up and walked out. Only Li Zhi was puzzled.
Ma Baoshan is Qi Kuan's loyal running dog. If the latter wants to investigate, Ma Baoshan's role is absolutely indispensable. After he got this clue, he was eager to take it as his own. He asked for credit and reward in front of Qi Kuan. Naturally, he could keep it a good secret. And Li Qing left this matter to Li Zhi, which is equivalent to adding double insurance to himself. Even if there is an omission, he is not worried.
Staggering back to his room, Li Qing took off her coat, lay back on the bed and took a deep breath.
”It's still comfortable at home.” Li Qing put down her troubles temporarily and took a nap in bed.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he got up from bed and began to deal with some affairs of the Li family these days. The secondary development of Gangbei Bay is not progressing smoothly, mainly because the accidents caused by fishermen fishing for gold bars a while ago have had a great impact on the development. However, the joint development action of the three families was originally to sell dog meat by hanging sheep's head, but Li Qing didn't take it to heart.
In addition to gangbeiwan, the industrial development momentum in other aspects is gratifying. Without the biggest enemy of the Chen family, it is not difficult for the Li family to regain a place in Lingang.
