"Mom, it's not what you think. This is a new friend of mine who's temporarily playing at her house.”
"Are you trying to coax a ghost? It's just a friend. Would a little girl want you to spend the night at her house? I really don't know what kind of brain you have. You can't even tell that the little girl likes you.”
"I…I…"
Facing his mother's questioning, Li Jian did not know how to explain. He felt that the more he spoke, the more confused he became. It was as if what he said was true.
Suddenly, Mu Ciyun asked him with a smile,""Brother, is that Auntie?”
Li Jian nodded with a bitter smile. Mu Ciyun took the call and walked to the side with a smile.
" Hello, Auntie…I'm Ciyun, Big Brother's sister…Yes, yes, yes…We're together…"
Damn it! Did this girl not want to live?
Being pestered by her mother would definitely annoy her to death!
Li Jian wanted to go over and stop them, but seeing that the old and young were chatting happily and the atmosphere was not bad, he held back.
A few minutes later, Mu Ciyun hung up and returned to him.
"Big Brother, I've talked to Auntie.”
"What deal?" Li Jian lit a cigarette in his mouth and asked indifferently.
Mu Ciyun giggled and sat down beside him.""Auntie said that she will come to see us in Xia Yang in two days.”
What?
His mother was here. How could this be?
Li Jian's mouth was wide open in shock, and the cigarette butt he had just lit instantly fell to the ground.
"Don't worry big brother, I won't let auntie know that we're cultivators. I'll keep it a secret for you.”
Looking at her cute expression, Li Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wasn't worried about this. He was worried that the empress dowager would come to see his daughter-in-law.
"Ciyun, let me tell you first. My mother is not easy to deal with.”Li Jian hurriedly explained.
"Hehe, I still have you to accompany me. Big brother, you won't reject me, right?”Mu Ciyun pouted pitifully.
Refuse?
You guys have already decided on everything. How can I refuse?
Helpless, Li Jian could not do anything to this silly girl and could only nod and agree.
He didn't go anywhere that night. He stayed at home and discussed with Mu Ciyun how to welcome the Empress Dowager. Fortunately, the villa was big enough for his parents to stay here. They didn't have to sleep in a hotel. They could enjoy themselves.
The next morning, Li Jian came to the company to work as usual. He was a little worried that Su Dan did not sleep well when she returned home yesterday, so he bought some breakfast and rushed to the CEO's office to see her.
When he came to the office with the fried dough sticks and soy milk, Su Dan was already working at her desk. Her pretty face seemed a little tired, and her eyes were swollen with black eye bags. Her hands were typing on the keyboard as if she was in trouble.
"You're here. Sit." When he saw Li Jian's figure, Su Dan just looked up and smiled before looking at the computer screen again.
"You don't have to work so hard. No matter how busy you are, you have to rest. Have some breakfast.”Li Jian walked behind her and handed over the breakfast he had bought.
But as he spoke, he saw Su Dan's computer screen and his face darkened. It was actually today's news report.
The news read,"Real estate tycoon Ou Shi and his son suddenly contracted a terminal illness. Ou Shi Real Estate has no leader and is in an economic crisis!"
It seemed that the old fox's company was in trouble!
Li Jian understood and could not help but sneer. He had long expected this outcome, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.
Su Dan had also learned of this news early in the morning, which was why he had come to the company early to look at the stock market. He did not expect the European real estate stock to fall by 50% overnight, almost reaching the limit. All the major media outlets were also reporting the negative news of the European company.
As a partner of Ou Style Real Estate for many years, Su Dan felt very sorry. Moreover, she had a good relationship with the Ou family. Under such circumstances, she wanted to come forward to save Ou Style Real Estate, but she was powerless.
"Sigh! He didn't expect such a big thing to happen to the Ou family. The business world was really a stormy night.”Su Dan smiled sadly and sighed while eating the breakfast that Li Jian had sent over.
"Isn't this a good thing? The father and son have done so many bad things. This is retribution.”Li Jian did not have a benevolent heart. He thought that not killing the father and son was already considered merciful.
"Maybe you're right. The father and son forcefully terminated our company and caused our company to lose billions. Fortunately, you saved it. Otherwise, our Xishan Group would have ended up like this.”Su Dan couldn't deny it, but he really couldn't laugh.
This girl was really too kind!
Li Jian secretly praised her a little, then put on a serious expression and said,"Then what do you think we should do now? I think it's time to attack European Real Estate. While their company is in chaos, we can buy it at a low price.”
"What?!" Su Dan's pretty face froze. She put down the breakfast in her hand and asked,""Isn't it too heartless to buy Ou Shi now? After all, we used to be business partners.”
"Little Dan, the business world is like a battlefield.”Li Jian comforted.
"But…but…"
"No buts. Ou Style almost destroyed our Xishan Group. If we let such a danger continue to exist, it will definitely be detrimental to our company. If we wait for Ou Style to recover from this, it won't be so easy to acquire it.”
Hearing Li Jian's words, Su Dan lowered her head silently. As a business elite, she understood the crux of this.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Li Jian continued,"Little Dan, you're also studying business management, so you should have heard of the law of the jungle, right?”
"I know. For example, if a lion wants to attack a herd of wildebeest or antelopes, it will definitely pick the smallest or sick one. This way, it will be easy to succeed. It's the same in the business world. It will pick the weakest part of the enemy to attack. This is the law of the jungle.”
"Since you understand, you know that the Ou Clan is at their weakest right now. Many tigers and lions are watching. If you don't make a move, others will.”
Su Dan did not answer, nor could he refute.
"We were lucky last time and had Ah Xi to help us through the difficulties, but can you guarantee that there will be a big corporation to help us every time?”
These words pierced the depths of Su Dan's heart. As the president of Xishan Group, this company was her life and the only hope her mother gave her. How could she watch the company fall into another major crisis?
He was right. She wasn't so lucky every time!
She didn't expect him to have such a deep business philosophy despite his usual sloppiness. She had really underestimated him!
After thinking it through, Su Dan couldn't help but look up to Li Jian. He quickly picked up the landline and instructed,"Annie, inform the executives of all departments, as well as the actuary, trader, and finance doctor to meet in the big conference room. I'll be there in ten minutes.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone swiftly and decisively. The corners of her mouth curled up into a confident and elegant arc.
"Then go ahead. I'll go to work first.”Seeing that she had a plan, Li Jian revealed a satisfied smile. He felt that all his hard work arrangements were not in vain.
"Wait!" Su Dan quickly shouted," Are you free tonight?”
"What? Do you want to reward me?" Li Jian teased.
Seeing his serious expression, Su Dan immediately rolled her eyes at him and said,"Yesterday, I said that I wanted to treat you to a meal, but you weren't free. It's the weekend tomorrow. I thought that if you have time tonight, you could have a meal with me.”
Tonight?
Li Jian muttered to himself. Only then did he remember that it was Friday. He had promised Old Li and the others to have a meal together. He couldn't possibly stand them up again. They were about to graduate and leave school soon. Tonight might be the last chance to meet.
"Can I bring a few friends?" He asked carefully.
As soon as she said this, Su Dan could not help but blush. She remembered the two jokers who called her " sister-in-law."
"Xiao Kuang and Shen Lang again?"
"No, my roommates from school are about to graduate and have a holiday. They're leaving, so I promised to treat them to a meal.”
Roommate?
This guy has quite a lot of friends!
Su Dan pondered for a moment and nodded.""Sure. See you at the Sea of Love Restaurant at 7:30 p. m.”
"Okay, see you there!"
Li Jian didn't stay any longer. He took out his phone and sent a message to Li Zhaoji and the others as he turned around and returned to the office.
After a day of work, Li Jian did the work of three people. He was exhausted. When he returned to the school dormitory after work, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. He wished he could fall asleep on the bed.
However, as soon as he walked into the dormitory, he was woken up by the sound of laughter.
Ciyun?
Why was she here?
Looking at the banquet in the dormitory, Li Jian's eyes widened in shock. He did not understand what was going on.
"Li Jian, are you off work? Come and drink the soup. Sister Ciyun's soup is very fragrant.”Shau Ki held a dog bowl in his hand and greeted him with an ugly expression.
"Big Brother, you must be very tired today. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll get you a bowl of soup.”Mu Ciyun also walked over.
"You…what are you doing?" Li Jian muttered.
Mu Ciyun stuck out her tongue playfully and said shyly,""I was the one who called Auntie and asked her to teach me how to make soup. I thought that Big Brother had been very tired at work recently, so I brought him to school to wait for you.”
"My mother?"
"Yeah, I already exchanged numbers with Auntie yesterday. Didn't she tell you?”
Li Jian's face was blank. He really wanted to know what the old and young had talked about yesterday.
"Li Jian, you've hidden yourself well enough. You're about to bring sister Ciyun to meet her parents, but you didn't inform us.”
"That's right, that's right. You heartless fellow, are you going to abandon us just like that?”
"Li Jian, I despise you!"
Following that, he heard the disdainful voices of his three bad friends. The single dog's expression was extremely envious and jealous.
I'm also forced to meet the parents!
Li Jian shook his head bitterly. Seeing Mu Ciyun here, he knew that he couldn't leave her behind at tonight's gathering. However, Su Dan would be here later. If these two women got together, would they be able to have a good meal?
What should he do?
