"Big lazy worm, get up quickly! If you don't get up, I won't be polite!"
In the room, Li Wenxiu struggled to push Li Yi and wake him up.
"No! Don't pinch me. I'm awake, I'm awake!" Li Yi suddenly woke up and pushed his sister's hand away in pain.
"Hmph, it's so troublesome to wake you up. You just have to make me use violence!" Li Wenxiu's face was filled with disdain as she gloated.
Li Yi rubbed his red arm and looked out the window. The sky was dark, and it was time for day and night to change.
"Hurry up and go downstairs to eat. Mom made many signature dishes. There's your favorite, garlic mushroom shrimp, braised pork belly, white chicken…" Li Wenxiu instructed and hurriedly turned to go downstairs.
Li Wenxiu also liked these dishes. Every time there was good food to eat, the siblings would fight over them.
If it weren't for the fact that she had accepted Li Yi's money, Li Wenxiu wouldn't have called him! At least, not until she was full.
Seeing Li Wenxiu run downstairs in a hurry, Li Yi couldn't help but panic.
At noon in the service area, Li Yi didn't eat much. At this moment, he was especially hungry. Although Li Wenxiu was thin, she wasn't slow at all when snatching delicacies. If she didn't eat rice, she could easily eat a few dishes by herself.
Li Yi quickly got out of bed, put on his slippers, and ran downstairs.
A round wooden table was set up in the middle of the courtyard. Ye Huilan carried a pot of soup and placed it on the table while Li Yanshun was scooping rice for them. Li Wenxiu was already sitting at the table, reaching out with her chopsticks to pick up the red braised pork.
"Little Yi, you're awake! Quick, sit down and eat." Li Yanshun smiled and greeted, placing a bowl of sharp rice in front of the empty seat.
"I made ginseng black chicken soup today. Little Yi, eat more of it." Ye Huilan picked up a porcelain bowl and shook the soup as she reminded him.
Li Yi nodded happily and sat down in the empty seat.
"Wu Wu, black chicken soup, so fragrant! Mom! I want a bowl too." Li Wenxiu's small mouth pouted slightly as she ate the meat and didn't forget to mutter.
"There's plenty for you!" Ye Huilan smiled and helped her get a bowl.
Soon, the family sat around the dining table to eat. It was harmonious and the atmosphere was very warm.
"Little Yi, are you staying until school starts?" Ye Huilan looked at Li Yi and suddenly asked.
Upon hearing that, Li Yi, who was eating meat, paused and hurriedly replied, "Mom, I'm afraid I can't stay that long. After I'm done with the housewarming, I'll have to go up in a few days. I've opened a company in Yang City, so I can't leave the city for too long."
"Brother, you opened a company? Really?" Li Wenxiu was stunned for a moment. The chicken wing in her hand that she was eating excitedly immediately lost its fragrance. She looked at Li Yi and asked in disbelief.
Li Yanshun and Ye Huilan were also stunned. They looked at Li Yi at a loss, unable to digest this shocking news for a moment.
"Of course it's true. I happen to have a company ID photo in my cell phone, as well as a photo of the company's office. If you don't believe me, look." Li Yi smiled and took out his cell phone to pull up the photo before handing it out.
Li Wenxiu hurriedly put down the chicken wing and reached out to take it without wiping her hand.
Li Yi's face immediately darkened. He handed the cell phone to his father and said angrily to Li Wenxiu, "Your hand is covered in oil. Wipe it clean first."
Li Wenxiu hurriedly took two tissues to wipe her hands. At the same time, she stretched her neck and leaned beside Li Yanshun to look at the photo on the cell phone.
On the cell phone screen, there was a photo of a business license called Muzi Technology Network Company. In the company's legal person information column, Li Yi's name could be seen.
"Really! I really opened a company. Dad, give me the cell phone. I want to see the company's office photo." Li Wenxiu excitedly asked Li Yanshun for the cell phone.
Li Yanshun nodded happily and handed the cell phone to her.
Li Wenxiu got Li Yi's cell phone and felt nervous. She switched the gallery mode to look for more photos.
Soon, Li Wenxiu found a photo of dozens of people. The photo was set against the front desk of Muzi Technology.
In the photo, Li Yi was standing in the center. The others surrounded him. Some were giving him thumbs up, some were doing the peace sign, and some put their arms over each other's shoulders… All of them had sparse hair and greasy faces. There were 60 to 70 of them. They weren't young. They were in their thirties or forties. Almost all of them were middle-aged greasy men.
However, Li Yi was definitely the youngest among them.
The youngest brother among everyone stood at the core position. He was definitely the most important person.
"Dad, Mom, look, it's Big Brother standing in the center!" Li Wenxiu excitedly pointed at Li Yi in the center of the photo and introduced him to the dizzy Ye Huilan.
"Let me see, let me see." Ye Huilan put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and looked at the photo in surprise.
"These people are almost the same age as our mathematics teacher. Brother, are they all your employees?" Li Wenxiu showed the cell phone to Ye Huilan and looked at Li Yi excitedly, asking in surprise.
"That one? Let me see!" Li Yi asked with a smile.
Li Wenxiu nodded happily. She stretched out her arm and turned the cell phone screen to Li Yi.
Seeing the photo, Li Yi immediately knew its origin. This photo was taken recently. It was a photo of 72 people who came to participate in the meeting with him.
"More or less! Half of them are coming to work in a while. They're employees of my other company," Li Yi introduced with a smile.
"Another company? How many companies do you have?" Li Wenxiu was stunned and asked in confusion.
"There are two companies. One is Muzi Technology, and the other is still in preparation. The employees of Muzi Technology are very young and there are many people. There are three to four hundred people!" Li Yi looked at Li Wenxiu and introduced with a smile.
Ye Huilan was shocked by the number. She looked at Li Yi in shock and asked, "Little Yi, is what you said true? With so many people, how many salaries do you have to give every month?"
Upon hearing that, Li Yanshun was also shocked. He didn't mind much when his son said that he had opened a company. After all, a few months ago, Li Yi had just given them 500,000 yuan to renovate the house. It was quite normal to open a company.
However, Li Yi's company actually hired hundreds of people to work, ten times more than the number of people Li Yanshun's own boss hired. Wasn't this a big boss!
Upon suddenly hearing this news, Li Yanshun's mind went blank. He felt as if he had won a big prize. He was so surprised that he seemed to be dreaming, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Li Yi revealed a calm smile and comforted Ye Huilan with a smile. "The finance department hasn't sent me this month's salary data, but our company can definitely earn money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recruited so many people to help!"
Li Wenxiu had already believed Li Yi's words. She looked at Li Yi with shining eyes and asked in a sweet and gentle voice, "Brother ~! I'm so bored staying at home during the summer break. Can I go to your company to work?"
Listening to her speak in such a coquettish manner, Li Yi couldn't help but shiver.
This girl used this move whenever she had a request, but it was the most effective against him. Over the years, Li Yi had lost countless times.
"You're in your third year of high school next year. Why are you working during the summer break? You should stay at home and study hard!" Li Yi advised nicely.
"Brother ~! Let me go and broaden my horizons! As the saying goes, it's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. Just let me go! I promise to listen to you obediently." How could Li Wenxiu be persuaded so easily? She reached out and pulled Li Yi's arm, saying coquettishly.
"Don't pull! Alright, alright, I agree. Don't get any closer." Li Yi had a headache and decisively stopped Li Wenxiu, who was preparing to cause trouble.
"Thank you, Brother!"
Having succeeded in acting spoiled, Li Wenxiu smiled sweetly and thanked Li Yi happily.
Li Yi rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. He looked at his stunned parents and asked with a smile, "Dad, Mom! I heard from Little Sister that you guys are finding me another blind date?"
"Yes! In this day and age, there are more men than women. It's not easy to get a wife, so we feel that we have to plan this for you as soon as possible," Li Yanshun nodded and confirmed.
"Yeah! You're not young anymore. You should meet someone at this time. When you graduate, you can get married and have a child in a year or two," Ye Huilan calculated beautifully.
"Dad, Mom, I think there's no need to be anxious about this. The company has just started, and it'll be relatively busy. I need to be busy with my career for a year or two. In addition, I can find a partner in school. This way, we have more in common. There's no need to follow the model of matchmaking. Also, your son is already so outstanding, are you still afraid that I can't get a wife?" Li Yi looked at Li Yanshun and Ye Huilan and objected solemnly.
Upon hearing that, Li Yanshun and Ye Huilan looked at each other with disappointed expressions.
Li Yi suddenly became a big boss. He probably didn't fancy the girls in the village anymore. This sudden situation seemed to be about to destroy the plan they had prepared.
"Little Yi, in any case, you're already back! If you're not too busy, just meet the other party. Perhaps she will be your fated one!" Ye Huilan was unwilling to fail and advised nicely.
"Yeah! Your mother had to use her connections and said a lot of pleasing words to arrange this meeting. That's why she asked around to help you find a blind date partner. You just have to meet the other party. It's fine if it doesn't work out. This way, we won't offend them," Li Yanshun added.
"…" Li Yi was speechless. They had already said so much, how could he refuse their good intentions?
Seeing Li Yi at a loss for words, Li Wenxiu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
