Chapter 241 Being a lazy person
Before the New Year, Li Yuan took his parents to get some styling advice, and Jiang Yiling picked out another set of festive clothes for them.
A sense of ritual is still necessary.
By the way, this was done over two days.
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yiling was more active than anyone else.
She took photos of everyone wearing new clothes at home, and even asked Li Yuan to take a photo with her, which she sent to the group.
Then, that photo went viral.
After all, in a sense, Li Yuan has the same attributes as the God of Wealth.
In the past six months, he has helped more than 600,000 people make money, and the average amount for each person is 60,000 yuan.
Although there are a few large funds, the proportion is not very large compared to the number of people in the hundreds of thousands.
Of the more than 30 billion in profits, Li Yuan only took away 3 billion, Zhou Ranran took away 1 billion, and Thirteen Taibao took away 600 million.
Going from unknown to the richest man in the country in half a year is an experience that normal people would envy.
As a result, that photo became the avatar of countless young people. After photoshopping, the emoticon package of the God of Wealth was also released.
Li Yuan doesn't mind others using his image rights for entertainment purposes, as long as they don't use them for fraud.
He told Jiang Yiling: "Don't send out the photos of us together for the time being."
"Oh, got it."
"Thank you, wife, for understanding."
Because of Jiang Yiling's presence, the atmosphere at home became much stronger.
Both his parents and himself are willing to express more emotions because of her existence.
After all, he had more and more interactions with his parents in his previous life. Although there was a generation gap, it was mostly because he was unhappy and didn't have the energy or occasion to express it.
Between family members, what is needed most is communication and expression.
It's similar to love. The stronger the expression, the more happiness you can experience.
Eating snacks and chatting, they started at eight o'clock in the evening and had a midnight snack at twelve o'clock before Jiang Yiling was ready to rest.
Li Yuan asked his parents to go to bed as well. After all, he had to rush back to his hometown early in the morning.
The father insisted on keeping vigil, and finally Li Yuan took his place.
Traditional rules are indeed very rigid, but in fact they are also a kind of adherence to principles.
After midnight, he received a lot of messages.
Happy New Year from Shu Yanlin.
Photo sent by Cao Yuanyuan.
In the photo, she is wearing a red sleeveless cotton-padded jacket, which is very festive. Sitting on his bed, he made a New Year greeting gesture with his hands.
Yu Yue and Yao Yingsong must be the same.
Even Chen Jie sent a message.
Li Yuan chatted with Chen Jie for a while, and then gave her a plate of melon seeds from home.
After all, Chen Jie couldn't sleep either. It would be a waste of time not to eat some melon seeds.
He gave the melon seeds and left. At three o'clock in the morning, when the vigil was over, he ran back and took a nap.
When I woke up again, it was already half past eight. After washing and eating some food, I headed back to my hometown with my dad.
There was enough time, and my parents had already put other things in the car in advance.
After arriving at the garage, Li Wanhe gave the driver a red envelope, which was prepared by Jiang Yiling.
In the car, Li Wanhe said: "I'll go to your grandma's house later, and then you can sleep there. I'll finish my running around in the morning and come back for dinner."
"I'll just go home and sleep. There are probably a lot of people there."
"also."
Another moment passed.
Li Yuan said: "Dad, Yiling won't go back to his hometown for the whole year this year, and mom will stay here. The villa is built. You can take care of the decoration. Just follow Yiling's ideas. You can choose the materials." I also know that I should try to finish the decoration by June, otherwise I won’t be able to come back during the Chinese New Year.”
After the house is renovated, it will definitely take half a year. A lot of materials are used, and some adhesives are inevitably used.
That thing contains the most formaldehyde, and Jiang Yiling had just given birth, so the impact was relatively large.
The house is easy to build. It has only been about two months and we have already started laying the foundation and building the garage.
It can be completed in April, and the surrounding environment will be repaired at the same time. It will not be difficult to complete it in June.
"Well, it's almost time. I've seen the drawings, and I'll go find someone to order the materials after a while."
The nature of Li Wanhe's work has changed.
In the past, it was to earn money to support the family, but now it is to live comfortably as a family.
"Then I will arrange a car and driver for you then..."
"Just bring me a car. I'm tired of driving that three-wheeler every day. I want to drive in a car instead."
"Then don't drive drunk. If that thing is recorded in the file, your grandchildren will not be able to pass the political review in the future."
Li Wanhe: "..."
That makes sense.
If nothing happens to Li Yuan, then the family will not be short of money, and the goals of future generations will definitely change in a different direction.
The car took a detour and came to where Li Guofu and Luo Changrong lived now.
The location is a bit remote and it's still an old house.
There are a bunch of chickens and ducks raised in the yard, and there is a faint smell in the air.
When Li Yuan came over, he saw Cao Ping chatting with two old people.
Seeing Li Yuan get out of the car, Cao Ping walked over and shouted: "Mr. Li, happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year to you too. My grandma lives in such a remote place. How did you find this place?"
Cao Ping smiled and said, "Everything in the county can be found out by asking around."
"Then you represent an individual?"
"No, no, no, everyone entrusted me to come here as a representative. There are major entrepreneurs and relevant leaders. I would like to thank Mr. Li for bringing visibility and jobs to Qinghe County."
"Then come in and sit for a while."
Li Yuan wasn't particularly sleepy. He wasn't going back today anyway, and it would be the same if he went to bed in the afternoon.
Li Wanhe didn't stay here for long. He was very busy in the morning. He brought gifts to him years ago and he has to go back today.
I don’t even go to other people’s places to eat. I have to go through the formalities.
Li Yuan and Cao Ping chatted for almost half an hour. They didn't talk about work, they just talked about some local customs and gossip.
At half past ten, people came one after another, and Cao Ping found an excuse to leave.
Li Yuan accompanied them to socialize for a while, and was forced to take a group photo for a long time.
Anyway, the mobile phones around me have never been disconnected, and people are still taking videos here.
It'll be fine next year.
After the planning of the village is completed, there will be a gate extending more than a hundred meters from the residential area, and ordinary people will have no chance to enter.
After lunch, he returned to the house he was renting, and there was no one around him to disturb him.
Even in the afternoon, Li Wanhe was busy.
Anyway, it's either a wine table or a card table.
After sleeping until about six o'clock in the afternoon, he found that his father had not come back yet.
I made a call and heard a lot of noise over there.
"I'm at your grandma's place. Come over for dinner later... spend..."
Li Yuan: "..."
Only grandma can tolerate this son, and she is probably watching happily.
He was indeed a little hungry, but he didn't want to go there.
There are too many people, most likely elders, who don’t know what to do there.
After washing up, I was about to go out to buy some food, and then I saw Zhou Ranran at the door.
"Why are you here, Sister Ran?"
Zhou Ranran smiled and said: "When I called my dad, I heard that you were awake. Would you like to have a meal at my house?"
"Huh? No one is at home?"
"I asked you to eat, not to eat me. Besides, I don't know how to cook. If there is no one, what will we eat?"
"Forget it, I've been gossiped about too much today. Your parents won't know how to gossip about me later, so I'll buy some myself."
Zhou Ranran: "My dad is not here, but I am at the card table with your dad. My mom just got me some food and will leave soon..."
"Well, I guess there won't be anyone selling food outside on New Year's Day."
After Li Yuan followed Zhou Ranran to her house, he found that there was no one at her house.
Moreover, Zhou Ranran seemed to have planned ahead, preparing meals for three people.
Wang Qi just immersed herself in eating. After eating, she went downstairs and stared.
After all, by now, she knows what she should know.
She really didn't know that Li Yuan was so rich before, and she really believed the story they made up.
Now even Zhou Ranran's parents are beginning to be suspicious. One can only imagine what her personal assistant is thinking.
While eating, Zhou Ranran said: "He Jianchuan and Gao Ming went back the day before yesterday, but there was no place to live here. They stayed for a long time and then left."
"How to say?"
He Jianchuan is the very powerful attending physician in the village. He bought a house outside and took all the elderly people in the house. He rarely comes back.
Gao Ming is even more powerful. Li Yuan only knows that he is an executive in a large company with an annual salary of tens of millions, and he is the best person in the village.
He was just a technical secondary school student back then. Now in his forties, he has worked hard on his own every step of the way.
"I didn't say anything. The main thing was to thank me. I also said that the elderly in my family were not used to living in the city. They also said that they would pay for the decoration and building of the house themselves and let my dad take care of them here. "
Li Yuan sighed and thought of Liu Hao again.
Let’s not talk about the other ones for now. After all, they are really young and have not had much contact with them in the past few years.
Liu Hao had no desire to move up at all.
He felt that everything was already enough and he just wanted to get married and have children.
"They can come out if they want. If they have a place to live by the end of the year, they should be able to sit down and chat."
"Well, they do have that intention, but you just happen to be away and they don't have a house here."
The main reason why the two of them stayed was because they thought Zhou Ranran had done a good job.
The village has gradually decayed over the years. They still have feelings for the village, but their feelings cannot be used as food.
Without the atmosphere of more than ten years ago, they would only be looking for trouble when they come back.
Zhou Ranran didn't show how much she was worth, and the excuse was that she had a boyfriend.
This kind of thing itself is not very tempting. They can refuse millions of cash purely out of emotion.
Now that Li Yuan's identity has been exposed, they have to consider reality.
"Then let's see what they think and if they are willing to return to the village, I will make arrangements."
There are three types of people around Li Yuan now.
The first type is represented by Zhou Ranran, who has feelings and foundation.
The second type is those represented by Jiang Yiling who have background, strength and ability.
The last type is those who only care about their beauty.
These three are relationships that can be maintained for a long time and complement each other.
Overall, the second type of force is the strongest, and it is also the one Li Yuan is actively trying to win over.
The third type has the least sense of existence. It doesn’t exist now and it will most likely not exist in the future.
What he has to do is to balance and expand the power of the first type of people so that he can balance the second type of people in the future. Otherwise, when a dominant family appears around him, he will easily suffer backlash.
Personal energy is limited, and most things have to be arranged for others to do, so the information obtained is given by others.
For three to five years or even ten years, when he was at his most powerful, no one could make a splash. But ten years from now, twenty years from now? Or even thirty years from now?
He didn't mean to guard against anyone, but to leave a way out for himself so as not to be deceived in the future.
After all, the benefits are exciting.
The chance of Jiang Yiling having problems is small, but what about the people around Jiang Yiling?
But Li Yuan needed to use their abilities to do something, so he couldn't stop eating because of choking.
So even if he knew that Liu Hao couldn't help him, as long as Liu Hao's heart didn't change, he was willing to give him a chance.
He can't have just one voice around him.
There are two other types of relationships that are optional.
Classmates, friends.
Even though Li Yuan didn't think he needed any friends, in fact Wen Yuxian and Song Jiajia were both friends.
These two relationships cannot be compared with the previous three before they explode into huge value.
"Xiaosi Xiaowu and the others, actually..."
Zhou Ranran wanted to say something else, but after taking a look at Li Yuan, she ended up not finishing.
"If you want to help, then you can, but I agreed in advance that if you help, I won't help."
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Zhou Ranran knew her own strength very well, what could she do to help them?
It's nothing more than giving them some money.
But if you can do something like sending money once, can you do it twice or three times? Even a lifetime?
Only by taking action can Li Yuan give them a platform to develop their own abilities and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
She doesn't have this ability.
Anyway, Li Yuan didn't say anything to death, there is still a chance, just wait slowly.
"Sister Ran, we are still young and have plenty of time."
Zhou Ranran said: "But I found that after having children, I was less willing to use my brain. I could read books before, but now I prefer to watch videos and follow TV series."
"Then we'll wait until after the child is born. You may have to help your child with homework in the future. You can't forget what you learned before."
"But what if I still want another child?"
"???, are you crazy? One is enough."
Li Yuan is very vigilant now. Anyway, in recent years, he has only planned to have these two children to make up for some of his wishes in his previous life.
Zhou Ranran lowered his head and whispered: "Maybe this is an excuse for me to be lazy. Giving birth is much easier than studying, so I just want to be a lazy person."
This lazy person is not lazy in action.
After all, raising children is exhausting.
She wants to be a mentally lazy person.
"Why do you want to be a lazy person?"
"I'm satisfied, I don't need anything anymore."
"But if you become lazy, I can't guarantee that our children will end well in the future."
"???"
