My Beloved Fool - Chap 102
Chapter 102: One chance in infitum
Young Master Jian has been very upset recently.
Nevertheless, Li Wen Xun is always carrying a smiling face, but he is not easy to talk to. No matter how bad his att.i.tude towards his resolution is, he cannot avoid sitting at the same table with Li Yu.
It was a sunny afternoon. Businessmen all over Beijing shook their arms and rolled their sleeves to make a fortune on Valentine’s Day. Every time it comes to this festival, Jian Sui Ying, like most people, hates going out. The traffic jam is light and that’s for two hours.
It was such a bad day that Li Wen Xun asked him to go to the office together.
Li Wen Xun had chosen three for his reference before, and this time they planned to take a look one by one. Both of them were near Xizhimen. They could finish it in one day. They were optimistic that they would pay a deposit on the spot. The next day they could start to enter things and enter people into the project.
Jian Sui Ying has been busy with his work recently. He has forgotten that there is such a festival on February 14. It is too late for him to repent when he has difficulty in traveling.
He arrived at the first place half an hour late and saw the two surnames of Li wandering around the room. It seemed that Li Wen Xun was measuring the size of the office at a pace. Li Yu was discussing something with the intermediary.
As soon as he appeared at the door, the three men looked back at him.
Jian Sui Ying’s eyes collided with Li Yu’s. He frowned and turned to the elevator entrance.
“Sui Ying!” Li Wen Xun shouted and caught up, followed by Li Yu.
Jian Sui Ying clicked on the elevator key and scolded the fool who had called the elevator away within three or four seconds of entering the room.
Li Wen Xun pressed his shoulder and laughed and said, “Don’t go, go in, we have to see how this looks.”
Jian Sui Ying gave him a stare.
Li Yu came over and stopped ten paces away, looking at him quietly with bright black eyes.
That day, the drunken mood had been pulled away from him. He did not have too much expression on his face. He just stood quietly, keeping a distance that would not let Jian Sui Ying jump. He looked at him and dared not rush forward half a step, though he had unlimited desire.
Li Wen Xun patted him on the back. “Oh, Sui Ying, can’t you? Can you be more professional? Let’s come today. It’s for the office. After choosing you to go, he will go. Aren’t you so flirtatious?
Jian Sui Ying was so angry that he wanted to beat him. If he left like this, he would be pretentious.
Li Wen Xun dragged him back. “Walk around and look at the office.”
Jian Sui Ying walked past Li Yu with a black face and entered the room.
In the afternoon, they could see the three office buildings. The intermediaries were all one person. After reading the three places, they found a coffee shop to rest and negotiate with the intermediaries.
Jian Sui Ying was thirsty and took a sip of his tea. As a result, he was scalded and his face wrinkled slightly.
Li Yu kept peeping at him. He quickly picked up a gla.s.s of lemonade and handed it to him. He whispered, “Drink something cold.”
Instead of looking at him, Jian Sui Ying took another gla.s.s of lemonade and took a sip.
Li Yu’s hand stopped in mid-air, embarra.s.sed. He slowly put it down and poured tea for Jian Sui Ying.
Li Yu hardly talked during the bargaining. Jian Sui Ying dressed up as the boss with a black face. Li Wen Xun smiled and haggled beside him. The three men worked together very well. They sweated on the intermediary’s face and finally signed a one-year lease with a satisfactory price.
The contract was signed and it was dark.
Li Wen Xun suggested going to dinner.
Jian Sui Ying looked at a couple of little couples who appeared in the cafe sometime and said, “You can pull them down and make sure there is no place.”
“What are we going to pull down?” said Li Wen Xun. “Now that we are together, we will celebrate the holidays together.”
Jian Sui Ying hummed, “You’re a bachelor, and I’m not.” He took out his cell phone and texted Xiao Zhu.
Li Yu’s face turned pale and his fists clenched under the table.
Li Wen Xun pouted his lips. “Okay, you can find your little love, waiter, check out!”
Li Yu stood up and said, “I’ll go down to the bathroom.”
Today, the cafe is really busy. After asking for the bill, the waiter shuttles around them, but n.o.body takes care of them for a while.
After Li Yu came back, the bill was settled, and all three of them went out in unison.
By the time they arrived, there were many people. Their cars were parked very dispersedly. Li Wen Xun’s car was parked nearest. After greeting, he drove away.
When Jian Sui Ying was looking for a parking s.p.a.ce, Li Yu followed him all the time and had to stop next to him, so they went to the car one by one.
Although Jian Sui Ying pretended to walk ahead carelessly, he was always on guard against Li Yu behind him for fear of what he would do.
After walking to the car, Jian Sui Ying glanced at the lamplight and saw the flat tire like a leaky rubber ball. His blue veins jumped suddenly on his forehead.
He turned and stared at Li Yu. “What did you do?”
Li Yu looked at the tire and shook his head innocently.
Jian Sui Ying gritted his teeth with bitterness and no evidence. He kicked his tires hard and pulled out the phone.
Li Yu stepped forward. “I’ll take you back.”
Jian Sui Ying leaned over and ignored him. “Hey, my tire is leaking, you guys came alone, think of a way, I’m…”
Hang up the phone, Jian Sui Ying pulled the door and planned to wait in the car.
As soon as he turned his head off, Li Yu sat down as a co-pilot.
Jian Sui Ying said angrily, “You’re never finished are you?”
Li Yu said lightly, “You hate me to this extent? You can’t even get along with me.”
Jian Sui Ying, who was not bothered by the narrow car, screamed. “Yes, I’m tired of seeing you. I hope I’ll never see you again in my life.
Li Yu looked deep into his eyes and said softly, “Brother Jian, I used to think I was very mature, until I did a lot of wrong things, I realized I was too tender. But I will grow up, you give me a little time, I want to become a worthy of you, a person you can rely on. Xiao Zhu is not suitable for you. Those who come and go around you are not suitable for you. They will only make you more and more tired. You can only face difficulties alone. But I’m different. Listen, I’m going to be stronger than you. I’m going to be the one who can shield you from the rain. Even if everyone depends on you, you can also depend on me.”
Jian Sui Ying put his trembling fingertips in his pocket and sneered, “You really don’t have to pay taxes to boast. You’re quite comfortable with these sour things.” Don’t say I need to depend on others. What proof do you have that you can be better than me?”
Li Yu said, “How do you want me to prove it?”
Jian Sui Ying squinted at him. “You’ve got a lot of money from me, and you’ve got capital to do everything. This time you’re in the stock market, you’ve got so much money that you don’t blink your eyes before investing them. If you’re really so capable, talk about compensating me all day long. Go and earn money and compensate me for my loss ten times. I’ll admit that you can.”
Jian Sui Ying is really trying to embarra.s.s him, let alone how many people in the world can make so much money, even if they can, who can give up their money to others.
He didn’t expect Li Yu to get excited. “I’ll compensate you. Will you forgive me?”
Jian Sui Ying sneered and said, “If you want to give me money you earn, I can think about getting back with you.” He didn’t believe Li Yu could do it at all.
Li Yu also knows that Jian Sui Ying is deliberately entangling him. Ten times the compensation is absolutely astronomical. Maybe it will take him ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime, to make such a sum of money, but at least he has one hope. Compared with endless waiting, irrepressible thoughts and so many tossing and turning nights, he has at least one hope, even for the most distant goals its still is a hope.
Li Yu said in a mute voice, “Brother Jian, I will do it.”
Jian Sui Ying turned his head and said, “Now get out of here.”
Instead of rolling away, Li Yu closed the door. “Are you going to spend Valentine’s Day with Xiao Zhu today? I won’t let you go with him.” Li Yu’s remark is particularly firm.
Jian Sui Ying glared at him. “Why are you? Where do you get this?”
Li Yu smiled softly. “Not only will you not live with him, but you will stay with me today.
Jian Sui Ying said angrily, “You have been kicked in your head by the donkey.”
Li Yu raised his wrist and looked at his watch. “It’s almost time. Old Grandpa Jian is coming to your house.”
“What?” said Jian Sui Ying in surprise.
Li Yu crossed the handle and approached Jian Sui Ying, where he could smell the familiar shaving water.
He pulled out the key to Jian Sui Ying, “I brought the old man from Qinhuangdao.”
Jian Sui Ying took up his neck collar, squinted his eyes and said in a cold voice, “Say that again?”
Li Yu gently held his hand. “Your grandpa, he’s in the apartment we used to live in.”
