Life 1984

Beijin.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Yunhai came to the courtyard.

It was the nanny Xiaoyan who opened the door. When she saw that the person coming was Li Yunhai, she smiled in surprise and said, "Mr. Li is here!"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly and walked into the room.

The parrot in the yard shouted: "A guest is coming, a guest is coming."

The cry of the little girl came from inside the house.

Xiaoyan shouted: "Sister Zhu, Mr. Li is here!"

Zhu Lin was holding his daughter Zhu Fei and coaxing her. He was surprised when he heard the shouting. When he saw Li Yunhai, he was convinced that it was true.

"Why are you here?" Zhu Lin asked.

"Why can't I come?"

"Of course you can come, why didn't you inform me before you came?"

"A surprise for you." Li Yunhai smiled. He took the child and asked, "Why is Feifei crying?"

Zhu Lin said: "She loves to eat sweets. If I don't give them to her, she will cry and cry."

"Feifei is so young, what kind of candy can she eat?"

"She ate the lollipop so cutely. The baby is growing baby teeth, so she can't eat too much."

Li Yunhai doesn't seem to have much experience in raising children.

Zhu Fei didn't let him hug her, she cried and stretched out her hands to her mother.

Xiaoyan picked up the child very wisely and said she would take her to the yard to play with the parrot.

Li Yunhai sighed: "I'm sorry, Sister Zhu, I am so incompetent as a father."

Falling in love between two people is always very beautiful. They only care about inner desires and physical pleasure.

Once you have children, trivial things come and can wear away all your patience and dreams. Those beautiful love scenes in the past are nothing in front of children.

Zhu Lin has always lived an elegant and calm life, and there are no traces of time etching on his face.

She was still as charming and charming as ever, but after not seeing her for a few months, she had changed tremendously.

This change occurs from the inside out, which is the difference between a mother and a woman.

When the two met again, there was no intimacy and sweetness like before.

In Zhu Lin's world, there are only jobs and daughters, and Li Yunhai has not existed for a long time.

Love has a shelf life and passion will cool down.

Without this daughter, perhaps the relationship between Zhu Lin and Li Yunhai would have come to an end.

"Where do you live?" Zhu Lin asked when he saw that Li Yunhai came without any luggage.

"The Great Wall Hotel."

"Why don't you come and live here?"

"It's inconvenient to bring a secretary."

"Then do you want to leave later?"

"If you don't leave, I'll stay with you."

Both of them tried hard to pretend to be enthusiastic, but failed.

The sense of alienation caused by not seeing each other for too long cannot be eliminated so quickly.

Li Yunhai had truly experienced this feeling with Guo Wanhua, and now he saw it with Zhu Lin.

He regretted that he should not have let Zhu Lin return to Beijin.

If they stay in Xizhou, they can at least see each other every day, and they won't be so divided.

Li Yunhai held Zhu Lin's hand: "Shall we go for a walk?"

Zhu Lin said: "Where are we going? I haven't gone shopping for a long time since I took care of my children. Fortunately, I have a job, so I won't be out of touch with society."

The two of them didn't take their children with them and went outside to press on the road.

Young and energetic girls, wearing fashionable and beautiful dresses, passed by them laughing and laughing.

Zhu Lin looked at them in bloom and laughed softly: "Now I finally understand why a woman's children will turn into the eyes of a dead fish during her lifetime, because she gave all her brilliance to her children. Do you think I am old?" Already?"

Li Yunhai hugged her waist and said, "No, you are just without makeup. If you dress up, you will be more charming than the little girl on the street."

Zhu Lin said: "You are still so good at making people happy, but it's a pity that I have passed the age of making people happy."

The two of them walked around, and Li Yunhai asked her if she wanted to buy anything. Zhu Lin didn't lack anything, because during the breastfeeding period, he couldn't use gold and silver jewelry, fine clothes, or skin care products.

When she got home, Xiaoyan had already coaxed the baby to sleep.

Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin took a bath and rested.

Zhu Lin took a shower and came out after a long time. He was wearing pajamas and sat down shyly by the bed.

Li Yunhai hugged her from behind.

Zhu Lin subconsciously avoided it and said, "I'm sorry, Yunhai, I'm not prepared."

Li Yunhai was stunned: "Do you have a new love? If you really find another love, you must tell me."

Zhu Lin lay down on the bed and said, "No, how can I still have the mood and time to start a new relationship? Yunhai, lie down and let's chat."

Li Yunhai rested his chin on his hand and looked at her.

Zhu Lin said: "Yunhai, women are different from men. I reject love without emotion."

"Are there no feelings between us?"

"Yunhai, don't be angry when I tell you. We haven't seen each other for several months. Although we have called each other, we have not met in person. I know you are busy, but are you really just busy? It is inconvenient for me to have a child. I came to see you, but you haven’t come to see us for so long! Maybe you have forgotten me in your heart? "

"No, I haven't forgotten you." Li Yunhai kissed her face, "It's even more impossible for me to forget the child. I've been really busy recently. How about you go live in Xizhou?"

"Then have you ever been to Shanghai?"

"No."

"Ugh!"

Li Yunhai felt very painful inside, knowing that this matter was all his fault.

He is too busy with work. If he really wants to visit Beijin and Shanghai, he can still find time.

He had thought of many excuses, but he didn't want to say them out at the moment.

"It's all my fault. I will visit you often in the future."

"I asked you to come once a month, but I guess you can't do it. Forget it, it's boring."

"What do you mean by boring?"

"It just means it doesn't matter."

Zhu Lin turned sideways and ignored him.

Li Yunhai pressed against her back and moved his hands up and down.

Zhu Lin struggled slightly, but finally complied with his wish.

After everything was done, Li Yunhai smiled and said, "You say you're not ready, but your body is very honest."

Zhu Lin's face was as delicate as a flower, and his chest was rising and falling. He reached out and turned off the lamp and said, "Go to sleep!"

Li Yunhai was stung by her coldness and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I don't know either. I thought I was too old to be stupid for a man anymore. In the end, I was not only stupid, but I also made a mistake and gave you a child. Later I thought I could be like many people in the world. Just like your mistress, I will enjoy your care and support as much as I can. But I found that I overestimated myself!"

"Sister Zhu, do you want a stable family life?"

"No, I just want you to be by my side when I'm lonely and bored."

"Come back to Xizhou with me?"

"Gong Jie is also going to Xizhou? Do you think you are Monkey Sun, able to change and create countless clones to accompany us?"

Li Yunhai was silent.

Zhu Lin said: "Forget it, let's just live like this!"

Li Yunhai said: "Tomorrow at noon, I will have a banquet for two professors from the Institute of Computing Technology. I would like to invite them to work at Sihai Group."

"If it weren't for work, you might never come to Beijin to see me, right?"

"Sister Zhu, too many things have happened in the past few months."

Li Yunhai recounted what happened after the New Year.

Zhu Lin is not at the headquarters, so he doesn't know how big a crisis the company is facing, let alone how much effort and effort Li Yunhai has to put in to maintain the operation of such a large company.

Sihai Group has invested billions in the photolithography machine project. If the products cannot be sold and are not recognized by customers, then all investments will be in vain.

The company and Compaq were competing for purchase orders for 3 computers in the province. If Li Yunhai hadn't defeated them one by one and successfully won the order, how could they have made so much money this year? Where can we find the money to expand overseas?    This is a concern for the company.

There have been serious floods in the south recently. Zhu Lin didn't feel anything about it in the north, but he also saw it on TV.

Li Yunhai donated 20 billion and tens of millions in supplies. Li Yunhai was troubled by so many things.

Zhu Lin couldn't help but turn around and hugged the man next to him.

"I'm sorry, Yunhai, I was too willful. I only live in my own little universe, but I don't know that you not only belong to me and Xiaofei, you also belong to all the employees of the company and the people of the country."

Li Yunhai couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm not that great, but the company is going through a troubled period. I'll be fine when I finish this period of work."

Zhu Lin said: "We always say that we will be fine once we are done with this period of work, but how long is this period of time? After this period of busy work, the next period will come again? But I don't care, I have figured it out, I lived for myself in the first half of my life. , live for your daughter for the rest of your life! I won’t ask too much of you in the future, just come over and see me and the child when you have time."

She hugged Li Yunhai and kissed him crazily.

The two were lost in joy again.

The next morning, Li Yunhai was still sleeping, and his pager kept ringing.

When he saw that it was a local number in Beijin, he called back.

Su Hong asked him where he was and when he would go to the computing institute?

Li Yunhai said that I have already contacted the two professors from the Institute of Computing Technology and will host a banquet for them in Dong Laishun at noon. You and Zhuang Yong can just go there directly. I have already reserved seats.

Su Hong said: "Mr. Li, I am your secretary. I am traveling with you on business, but I act like a fool. You have arranged everything. What else can I do?"

"Just eat and drink with me."

"This makes my position very worthless."

"If you drink a few more drinks with the two professors at noon and get them to work in our company, then you will get a lot of credit!"

"Okay, Mr. Li."

Li Yunhai put down the phone, stretched, and when he came out, there was no one in the room.

He saw a note on the dining table: "Yunhai, we went shopping, breakfast is hot in the pot."

After Li Yunhai had breakfast, he went to the yard to play with the birds for a while.

There was a knock on the door.

He thought it was Zhu Lin and the others who were back, so he quickly ran over and opened the door.

There were a man and two women standing outside the door, both dressed beautifully. The man was about forty years old, wearing a golden necklace as thick as his thumb around his neck, and his crocodile leather shoes were polished. The two women were in their twenties. They were charming and charming. They looked somewhat similar. They should be twins. One of them was holding a mobile phone, and the other was carrying a briefcase.

Li Yunhai asked: "Who are you looking for?"

The man smiled and asked in Hong Kong: "Hello, comrade! Are you the owner of this house?"

Li Yunhai said: "I am. Is something wrong?"

The man pointed at the house and said, "Is this house for sale? I can give you a good price."

Li Yunhai said: "I won't sell it!"

The man said: "You set a price, I will give you 80, will you sell it?"

Li Yunhai didn't want to waste time and wanted the other party to quit before the difficulties, so he laughed loudly and said: "80? That's a lot of money! Do you know how much I spent on decorating here?"

"I can see that your house has been newly renovated. I want to buy it and live in it, so I took the liberty to come to your door. Can you give me a price?"

"Let me tell you this, the decoration of my house alone cost more than 10 million. Excluding the furniture, it cost almost 20 million!"

"Ah?" The man was speechless and peered inside, "Twenty million? That's too expensive!"

The woman next to me said: "Twenty million can buy a prince's mansion!"

Li Yunhai turned around and closed the door.

The man shook his head, pointed to a courtyard opposite and said, "There's nothing we can do. Let's go take a look at this smaller courtyard."

They knocked on the door.

Zhu Lin and the nanny came back pushing a stroller and carrying vegetables, and happened to bump into these three people.

"Hey, why are you knocking on the door? What's the matter?" Zhu Lin asked.

The man turned around and said, "We are looking for the owner of this house. Are you the owner?"

Zhu Lin said: "I am!"

The man said: "Great, hello. We want to buy this courtyard house. Can you give us a price?"

Zhu Lin said: "I won't sell it!"

The man said: "Why don't you sell it? I can afford the price! I'll give you 50!"

Zhu Lin said: "I won't sell it for even 500 million!"

The man said: "Comrade, sell me this old house, and you can use the money to buy an elevator building."

Zhu Lin said: "I won't sell it!"

Li Yunhai heard Zhu Lin's voice in the courtyard and opened the courtyard door.

Zhu Lin took the nanny into the house.

The man exclaimed: "Both these yards belong to them!"

Before they could step forward, the courtyard door over there was closed again.

Zhu Lin said: "Yunhai, you bought all the courtyards around here. What's the use?"

Li Yunhai said: "Don't worry about it for now. Then we will decorate all these houses and connect them together to form a prince's mansion."

"The house you live in doesn't have to be too big. It's already pretty good like it is now." Zhu Lin said, "Recently, many people have come to Beijing to buy courtyard houses. Houses in remote places only sell for 30, but the prices of our houses are quite high. It has gone up a bit. Last time someone came to ask about the price, they offered a high price of 150 million! But as soon as they came in to look at the decoration, they turned around and left. They are knowledgeable people and know that the decoration cost of our house is not low."

Li Yunhai took the baby and took her to play with the parrot.

Zhu Fei liked to watch the birds eating, and gradually became familiar with Li Yunhai, letting him hold her.

At noon, Li Yunhai and Zhu Lin came to Donglaishun on Wangfujing Street.

Su Hong and Zhuang Yong have arrived.

"Mr. Li, Professors Wu Kangda and Meng Qinghua haven't arrived yet. Should we pick them up?"

"I asked them yesterday and they said they don't need to pick up the phone and come here by themselves. They are working in the Computing Institute now. If they are found to have contact with us, it may have a bad impact."

"Oh, that too."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, I saw two middle-aged men coming on bicycles.

Li Yunhai did not see Wu Kangda and Meng Qinghua in person yesterday, but when he looked at them today, he subconsciously felt that these two people were his guests.

He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Are they Professor Wu and Professor Meng? I am Li Yunhai."

The visitors were none other than Wu Kangda and Meng Qinghua.

They locked their bicycles and shook hands with Li Yunhai.

"Mr. Li, I have long admired your name! I am Wu Kangda." said the tall, thin man wearing glasses.

"Mr. Li, I'm Meng Qinghua. Nice to meet you." said the smaller man.

"Professor Wu, Professor Meng, please come in."

A group of people came to the private room and took their seats.

Su Hong ordered the waiter to serve food and drinks.

Li Yunhai, Wu and Meng said: "Two professors, Professor Ni must have contacted you, right? I often hear Professor Ni talking about you two, saying that your skills and abilities are superior to his. I After hearing this, I was filled with admiration, and I have long wanted to come and pay homage to you two.”

Meng Qinghua said: "Mr. Li, we are here today, firstly because of Lao Ni's recommendation, and secondly because we want to have a taste of Mr. Li's style. As for changing jobs, we have not had such an idea yet. We are older and have more brain power and ability." , are not as good as young guys, and I can’t help much even if I go to your company.”

Li Yunhai was stunned, but he didn't expect that the other party would refuse as soon as he opened his mouth.

Wu Kangda said: "Lao Meng is right. We are in our forties, and we just want to stay in the computing institute peacefully until retirement. Ambition and ideals are already a thing of the past."

Li Yunhai said: "There is an old saying in our country, parents don't talk about growing old when they are alive. You two are in the prime of life, why do you talk about growing old?"

Meng Qinghua said: "Mr. Li, we have an old mentality! In a unit like this, if we don't provide for the elderly, what else can we do? Old Ni Miu praises us, how can we compare to him?"

Li Yunhai said: "Professor Meng, Professor Wu, since you are not reused in computing and are not happy, why are you not willing to switch jobs to our Sihai Group? You must have heard of Professor Ni's treatment in our company, right? We Not only does it provide a world-class scientific research environment, but it also offers generous salaries and bonuses! If you are worried about the length of service, then I can promise you now that after how many years you have worked at the Institute of Computing Technology, after you switch to our company, this length of service will be It still counts how many years.”

Wu and Meng looked at each other.

Meng Qinghua said: "Mr. Li, I can see that you are thirsty for talents, otherwise you would not come all the way to invite us. But we are really not qualified enough to help you."

When the food and wine were served, Su Hong whispered: "Mr. Li, why don't you eat first? Let's talk later."

Li Yunhai hummed and said, "Please toast the two professors a few more times."

Of course, the most unique hotpot is indispensable when dining in Donglaishun.

Everyone was simmering the mutton, drinking wine, and talking about things at the same time.

Unfortunately, no matter how eloquent Li Yunhai was, Wu and Meng just refused to change jobs. (End of chapter)
