Chapter 549: Feelings

He subconsciously took out his cell phone and scanned the screen. He saw that it was not a call from his leader or colleague, but from his elder brother Li Yan. Out of respect for the meeting discipline, he quickly reached out and hung up the phone.

After Li Shiwen hung up the phone, he quickly put away his phone and while listening to his leader's speech, he quickly recorded the spirit of the meeting conveyed by the leader in his notebook.

Li Yan looked at the hung up phone, sighed helplessly, put the phone back into his pocket, walked towards the parking lot, got into the car, and told the driver to go back to the company.

Previously, Li Yan took back the shares from Li Xuanbao and became the largest shareholder of the Li Group.

The power struggle between him and other shareholders has come to a temporary end, and now he has absolute control over the Li Group.

Real estate sales have been sluggish recently, which has made Li Yan a little upset.

Fortunately, real estate is not the core business of the Li Group. Even if this project really makes a loss in the future, for the entire group, it is just a loss of income and money, which will not cause any serious damage.

Li Yan handled the company's affairs in an orderly manner. As for Li Xuanbao's proposal of cooperation with Starlight Entertainment, he didn't take it to heart at all at the moment.

As it was almost time to get off work, Li Yan's cell phone on his desk began to buzz, and the caller ID showed it was Li Shiwen.

He looked at the screen, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, swiped the screen to answer the call, and half-jokingly said: "Hey, Secretary Li, are you finally done with your work?"

Li Shiwen also laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "Brother, when you called me, I was in a meeting in the conference room, so it was really inconvenient for me to answer."

Li Yan listened, his tone full of understanding: "I understand. By the way, are you free tonight? Let's go out for a drink?"

Li Shiwen looked up at the wall clock and saw that the hands were pointing steadily to five o'clock in the afternoon.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll probably be done with my work around seven o'clock, brother, do you mind waiting a little longer?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "I'm an idle person. I can wait. I'll go according to your schedule. After get off work, you can go directly to the old place and I'll wait for you there."

Li Shiwen said, "Okay! I'll go over after I'm done."

The old place Li Yan mentioned was a bar he funded and opened. He often met with He Zhizhou and Li Shiwen here, and it was a place for them to relax.

After finishing his work, Li Shiwen hurried to the bar. As soon as he entered the door, the sharp-eyed waiter saw him and greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Li is waiting for you in the private room."

Li Shiwen nodded slightly, walked straight towards the box without stopping.

Li Yan was learning how to mix cocktails. The table was filled with all kinds of drinks, and the transparent glass bottles reflected colorful halos.

Hearing the door open, he looked up and saw that it was Li Shiwen. He greeted him with a smile: "Come and try the 'Dry Martini' I made and see if it suits your taste." After that, he handed the prepared wine glass to Li Shiwen.

Li Shiwen sat down next to Li Yan, took the wine glass, took a sip, savored it carefully, and nodded approvingly: "It tastes good."

Li Yan looked at Li Shiwen's clothes. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt on the upper body, black jeans on the lower body, and a pair of clean white sneakers on his feet. He looked refreshing and neat.

This attire is completely different from the serious and reserved look he has at work. If it weren't for the calmness and wisdom in his eyes, at first glance, he would look like a college student who has not yet stepped out of the campus.

Li Yan couldn't help laughing and joked, "Look at the way you are dressed. Who can tell now that you are the first secretary of the municipal party committee?"

Li Shiwen showed a trace of helplessness on his face and said, "Brother, please don't make fun of me. What's the first secretary of the municipal party committee? It sounds weird."

Li Yan's smile deepened, and he continued, "I'm not kidding you, this is the truth. In Xishi, who doesn't know your name, Secretary Li?"

Li Shiwen just smiled and didn't respond. Working in a government department, one must be extra careful about one's words and deeds. Behind this "big name" is a heavy responsibility and constraint, and there is really nothing worth making a fuss about.

Li Yan looked at Li Shiwen's reaction and sighed secretly. He knew that most people working in government departments were old-fashioned and cautious, but he didn't expect that Li Shiwen would be so restrained in front of his brother.

However, Li Yan could also understand it, after all, it was the nature of the job.

Li Yan restrained his smile and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. You are not young anymore, it's time to think about your lifelong affairs.

When will you bring a girlfriend home? That will also make your uncle feel at ease."

Li Shiwen looked straight at Li Yan and asked, "Brother, did my dad say something to you?"

Li Yan raised his lips and said with a smile: "What can uncle say to me? But think about it, you are the only one in our generation who is still single. Uncle is worried, and my parents are also angry.

If it weren't for your work, my mother would have arranged a blind date for you a long time ago." As he spoke, he reached out and patted Li Shiwen's shoulder, his eyes full of brotherly concern.

Li Shiwen couldn't help laughing and said half-jokingly, "Don't bother me, Auntie. The girls she introduces are probably gentle ladies. I'm so busy every day, how can I have the time to accompany them? It would be inappropriate if I neglected the girls."

After hearing this, Li Yan pointed at Li Shiwen and said, "You, you're just making excuses. Are you not getting married because you're busy with work?"

After saying that, Li Yan turned around and mixed himself a colorful cocktail with skillful technique.

After mixing it, he picked up the wine glass, gently touched the glass in front of Li Shiwen, then raised his head and drank it all.

Li Shiwen saw Li Yan drinking so vigorously and asked, "Brother, you specially asked me to come here today, is there something wrong?"

He put down the wine glass in his hand and stared at Li Yan, wanting to see something from his face.

Li Yan put down his empty wine glass, a faint smile on his face, and said, "Nothing special. I just want to ask you, have you been in contact with Jiawei a lot during this period?"

Li Shiwen nodded and said truthfully, "Well, I have come into contact with a lot of people. Every Saturday and Sunday, if I don't work overtime, Sister Jiawei will call me back to Li Garden for dinner.

I occasionally go back to Liyuan to live, so I see Sister Jiawei quite often. Brother, you suddenly ask this, is there something wrong? "

Li Yan asked, "Do you know when her due date is?"

Li Shiwen thought for a moment and said, "I heard from Sister Jiawei that there are still more than two months left."

Li Yan leaned back on the sofa, stretched out his whole body, sank into the soft back of the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, his expression full of emotion.

Then he said leisurely: "Time flies so fast, it feels like the blink of an eye. It has been several years since Jiawei returned to the Li family. Do you still remember what she looked like when she first returned to the Li family?"
