After traveling through time, I relied on rich people’s gossip to reach the top of my life.

Chapter 28

Li Yaoming put on a chatty attitude and asked questions with a cheerful smile.Luo Jingxuan, who was looked at eagerly by him, always answered lukewarmly.

Do not take the initiative to start a topic, do not refuse to answer questions, and do not take the responsibility to liven up the atmosphere.He was just a string puppet, nothing like the all-powerful Mr. Luo in the mall.

Li Xi watched with cold eyes and said nothing.Obviously, Li Yaoming's target of inviting the two to dinner was Luo Jingxuan, and he was just incidentally, or he was just Li Yaoming's tool for Luo Jingxuan.

If that's the case, then she should just be a quiet tool.If he wants to use her, he doesn't want to see if Li Yaoming is worthy.

"Jingxuan, you and Xiao Xi have been married for a while, and the two families haven't officially met yet. Do you think you should arrange for us to meet up and have a meal together?"

"Grandpa has seen Xixi." The subtext is that he has already seen those who should be seen, and there is no need to see others.

"This marriage is not just a matter of two people, but also a matter of two families. Now that we are married, the two families should move around more." As if he didn't hear the alienation in Luo Jingxuan's tone, Li Yaoming still smiled. The face is gentle.

Or flattery.

Luo Jingxuan didn't know whether Li Yaoming's statement was valid or not.Li Yaoming didn't know for what purpose the Luo family found Li Xi.But both parties knew how much Li Yaoming had benefited from agreeing to the marriage.

How could he have the nerve to say "get married" when he was clearly selling his daughter?
Thinking of this, Luo Jingxuan chuckled inexplicably, "Get married? Do you mean getting married with tens of millions of dollars in benefits and sending your daughter to someone else's bed?"

Li Xi didn't expect Luo Jingxuan to say it so bluntly, and couldn't help but turn to look at him.There's nothing wrong with it, it's still the ice cube face, it didn't turn into a mocking face.

Li Yaoming didn't expect to hear such words and felt embarrassed.But then he turned around and thought, it was not uncommon in wealthy circles to exchange a child's marriage for benefits, and he felt confident again.

"What are you talking about, a good son-in-law? The Luo family is sincere in marrying my daughter, but the gift is a little more than ordinary people. It doesn't hurt, hahaha..."

I have never seen such a shameless person, and now Li Xi didn't want to endure it anymore.

"Since it's a betrothal gift for me, why haven't you given it to me?"

Li Yaoming's smile suddenly froze on his face. This unfilial daughter would cause trouble, "You have been lavish since you were a child and can't control your money. Dad will take care of it for you."

"It's okay. I have a dedicated financial planner now. Give me the money and I'll find a financial planner to manage it myself."

"Why did you hire a financial planner?"

"My husband gives me a lot of pocket money every month, but if I can't spend it, I'll find a financial planner. Right, husband~" Li Xi said and put her arm on Luo Jingxuan again.

The moment Li Xi's hand came up, Luo Jingxuan's icy face was stiff for a moment, but he quickly adjusted and said "hmm" in a cooperative manner.

After receiving Luo Jingxuan's approval, Li Xi looked at Li Yaoming arrogantly, "So, can you give me my bride price?"

The word "my" was specially emphasized.

Listening to the unfilial daughter's constant persecution, Li Yaoming was so angry that he wanted to curse, but then he remembered that Luo Jingxuan was still here, so he tried hard to suppress his anger.

"Xiao Xi, it's not that dad doesn't want to give it to you. You also know that the situation of dad's company looks bright, but in fact it is full of holes. As soon as dad got the money, he used it to fill the holes in the company. Don't worry, dad. I will never be greedy for your money. When the company pays dividends at the end of the year, dad will transfer the money to you."

Li Xi didn't believe Li Yaoming's argument that he wanted to return the money to her, but Li Yaoming didn't lie about the fact that the company's operations were riddled with holes.In the original text, except for Li Xi, who plays a little more role in the Li family, the rest are just backdrops.Although Li Meng is Lu Wantang's follower, he doesn't have many roles.As you can imagine, the Li family is not doing well.

Moreover, according to Mianlaosi's investigation, the several projects the Li family has recently invested in are all bad.I don’t know if the company management are all Muggles, or if they were tricked.Loss is a certainty.

Before coming, Li Xi also had a guess that Li Yaoming probably wanted Luo Jingxuan to invest.I don’t know what Li Yaoming was thinking that he would invest in those crappy projects.After being in the market for so long, I can't tell the difference between good and bad. On the surface, those projects look promising, but if you look closely, you will find that there is no technical content at all.Let alone the future, I won’t be able to survive this year.

Just as Li Xi was thinking about it, Li Yaoming spoke up, "Actually, the reason why I came back to you this time is for the company. Jingxuan's money has solved the company's urgent needs. The company's development is about to get better and better. I and I A few senior executives of the company have identified several projects to invest in. We have all investigated them and they are all good projects with a bright future. That’s it.”

At this point, Li Yaoming showed a troubled expression and sighed.

If this were to be replaced by a loving father and a filial daughter, or in the original text, Li Xi, who worked hard to get a little bit of fatherly love, should have continued, "That's it, are there any difficulties?"

Or, the new son-in-law who loves his wife wholeheartedly and wants to be recognized by his father-in-law should also say, "That's it, is there anything I can do to help?"

However, sitting here now are Li Xi, who has traveled through time, and Luo Jingxuan, a cold-hearted workaholic, who have not noticed Li Yaoming's difficulties at all.Instead, the old god was drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

So Li Yaoming sighed for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him.Listening to the crackling sound of Li Xi chewing melon seeds, Li Yaoming could no longer continue singing, and continued with a sad expression, "It will take some time for these projects to pay off.

The company's current development momentum requires a quick and successful project.As for me, I am optimistic about a robot project recently. The hardware and software are almost complete, and I will finally put it on the market after some debugging.But the last step is also the most difficult. It requires not only money and power, but also connections.So the R&D company came looking for investment.I thought about such a good project, I can’t make money alone, the benefits should be shared with everyone.Doesn’t Rockwell also have a branch involving robots? Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to cooperate and achieve win-win results? "After Li Yaoming finished speaking, he carefully looked at Luo Jingxuan's face. Although his original intention was to borrow Luo Jingxuan's money and power, he was right about win-win cooperation. Luo Jingxuan borrowed the power, wasn't he? I made money.

Li Yaoming thought very well, but Luo Jingxuan had a cold face the whole time, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Son-in-law, what do you think of this project? Are you interested?"

"No." Before Luo Jingxuan could speak, Li Xi spoke up, "If you need this project to open up the company's market, then invest in it yourself. Don't come to us under the banner of doing your best. Luo's family comes back It's a big cause, but I can't use it to give you a ticket."

"What are you talking about? I've been involved in shopping malls for so many years. I still don't know what kind of projects can make money? It's just for children. Let's go and have fun." Li Yaoming felt that either he had Mercury retrograde today, or Li Xi's brain was rusty. , why do you always contradict yourself?

"Jingxuan, don't listen to Xiao Xi's nonsense. How can she understand this?"

Luo Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Xi, "That's not entirely nonsense. Luo Shi really doesn't need such a 'robot' project. If your company needs it, you can just invest it yourself, and there's no need to involve Luo Jingxuan."

"Haha..." Li Yaoming smiled awkwardly. Unexpectedly, Luo Jingxuan was quite protective of Li Xi. It seems that he will have to treat Li Xi better in the future, "Isn't it that the company has just invested in a few projects and the cash flow is a bit tight. Moreover, if the robot is put on the market, it needs a qualification certificate issued by the relevant department, so I have no way to do it.”

"Don't take the porcelain job without the diamond." Li Xi once again grabbed the advantage, and continued regardless of Li Yaoming's ugly face, "Do you think it is easy to support the launch of a robot? Quality, intelligence, function, novelty, which one is not Is it important? Not to mention how much it will cost, you also need connections to find relevant departments, which is not easy anywhere. Do you have the ability?"

Regarding Li Xi's straightforward dislike, Li Yaoming wanted to get angry as before, but when he saw Luo Jingxuan sitting next to him like a master, he had to hold back his temper, "It's just because my company can't afford it, so I want to find Jing Xuan." Xuan together."

"No, I'm not interested. Luo doesn't need it either." This time, Luo Jingxuan refused without waiting for Li Xi to speak.Not to mention that the project itself was full of doubts, but he just didn't like Li Yaoming.If Li Xi could help with a few words, he might be willing to give some advice. If Li Xi wasn't willing to help, why should he give up on that matter.

After arguing with Li Xi for so long, Luo Jingxuan had a cold face but said nothing. Li Yaoming thought he was considering the feasibility of investment, but he didn't expect him to refuse directly.

I was slapped in the face by my daughter and son-in-law one after another, and now I lost all my dignity.

Li Yaoming wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan no longer wanted to listen.

"Is the food ready yet? If it hasn't been cooked for us, we can just go back and eat. There's no need to be here hungry and enjoy the cool breeze. Otherwise, we..."

Before Li Xi finished speaking, Jian Ruolan came out of the kitchen, "Okay, okay, you can eat."

After saying that, he invited a few people to eat and asked the servants to call Li Meng and Li Jian.But it was obvious that neither of them wanted to eat at the same table as Li Xi. They just said they felt uncomfortable and had people take the food back to the room.

Li Xi didn't care at all, shrugged and sat down at the dining table to eat happily, not caring at all about Li Yaoming's dark face and Jian Ruolan's pretended concerned smile.

Luo Jingxuan didn't care anymore and just ate the food elegantly.Don't mention it, Li's cook is pretty good.If the Li family is in trouble one day, they can still dig into the Royal Garden.

Ever since, two extremes have formed at the dinner table.

Luo Jingxuan and Li Xi ate slowly but deliciously.

Li Yaoming and Jian Ruolan made eye contact after taking a few bites, but they didn't know how to taste the food.

By the time we finished our meal, it was completely dark.Li Xi and Li Xi said goodbye and left. Li Yaoming said "hmm" with a dark face and did not get up to see them off.Jian Ruolan wanted to maintain her virtuous and virtuous persona to send people off, but Li Xi was unwilling and pulled Luo Jingxuan away quickly, leaving no gap for Jian Ruolan.

Jian Ruolan followed a few steps, but gave up after failing to keep up.

When the two of them got to the car and sat down, Li Xi burst out laughing.Today's meal was so satisfying.When she thought of Li Yaoming's dark face, Li Xi felt that she could still eat three bowls of rice.

Hahaha……

Li Xi was laughing vigorously here, and Luo Jingxuan made a sudden noise next to him.

"Husband? Huh?"

The slightly upward tone didn't sound angry, but it was a bit scary.

Li Xi, who was laughing, immediately stopped his smile and changed his expression to a flattering one.

"Haha."
