Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

I was shopping with Zheng Lan and the others when I suddenly received a phone call.

"Hello Wei Qing! Do you remember me?"

"you are?"

"I'm Li Xiaowen, Li Zhanwen's brother. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."

"Us? No merit, no reward! And we've already completed the handover of the previous algorithm, right?"

"That's right! But the algorithm you gave us earlier was very useful, so since you're in Hong Kong, I thought I'd treat you to a meal to bond with us and maybe collaborate again in the future."

"I have set up a company with Xiao Yuan now. You know Xiao Yuan, right? You two should be in the same circle."

"I know this. Xiao Yuan went to Australia, so I called you."

"Isn't there Rong Zixuan? It's more convenient for you men to drink together. But I don't drink!"

"I just called him. He's in the Australian city racing. I asked him if I could treat you to a meal, and he agreed. We're not drinking, just having a simple meal!"

"Is it really that exaggerated? I still have to ask him. I'm not a child. I don't need adult consent."

"So all your excuses have been dispelled one by one. Can you come to the appointment tonight?"

"There's one thing you might not know. My friends are coming to Hong Kong, and I want to accompany them."

"It's okay, let's go together."

"How can this be so embarrassing, I..." I was about to refuse but Li Xiaowen spoke first, "It's settled, I'll send you the address later."

I looked at the hung up phone, not knowing what to do.

"Qing'er, what's wrong with you? Who's calling?" Zheng Lan walked over and asked.

"Li Xiaowen invited me to dinner tonight, but I don't want to go"

"why?"

"He is Li Zhanwen's brother. If Li Zhanwen is here too, Rong Zixuan will be jealous again."

"What's the big deal? You're a senior executive now. It's normal for you to have frequent social events and dinners."

"Yes, Qing'er, you are not Rong Zixuan's appendage. You don't need his approval for everything. You also have your own work needs and your own life. You can't always think about Rong Zixuan. You are you first, and then your daughter, wife and mother!" Hu Ning said calmly beside him.

I thought for a moment, "Okay, but you have to come with me," and he agreed.

"Oh no! You are a strict husband!"

"No way!" I blushed shyly. I just loved Rong Zixuan too much and cared about him too much, so sometimes I put his feelings first. Sometimes I also realized that I seemed to neglect myself for him, but I just couldn't control it.

To avoid further complications, I called Rong Zixuan to tell him about the incident. He was surprisingly receptive, rather than arguing with me about Li Zhanwen. But on second thought, I finally understood. He'd always been fixated on me, inevitably exaggerating the situation. Now that he's got his own hobby—racing—his attention has shifted considerably away from me. It's good that he's no longer suspicious of my relationship with Li Zhanwen and the others.

That evening, Zheng Lan and the others were picked up by Li Zhanwen first, but I had to go to the office first to deal with something, so I arrived a little later. When I left the office, Li Xiaowen called to ask me, and I said I was on my way. When I arrived at the hotel entrance, Li Zhanwen was already waiting outside, and he took me in.

"Sorry, I'm late," I apologized as soon as I sat down.

"It's okay, it's okay!" someone I didn't know said to me.

"Since everyone is here, let me introduce them," Li Zhanwen said while standing.

"This is my eldest brother Li Hewen, my second brother Li Congwen, my third brother Li Xiaowen you know, my eldest sister Li Liwen, my second sister Li Zhiwen, my younger sister Li Jingwen"

"So you are ranked sixth, right?" I said with a smile.

"Yeah, is there any problem?" Li Zhanwen obviously didn't know what he meant.

"It's okay, you're just a nobody." Zheng Lan laughed after explaining.

"Is there any problem, Lao Liu?" Li Zhanwen was still very confused.

"Brother, what Lao Liu means is that he has a unique way of thinking and does things in a strange and unexpected way. It's almost like being crazy," Li Jingwen explained from the side.

"Oh~" Li Zhanwen smiled shyly after knowing what this meant.

"Uh, but is this a family gathering? Why did you invite us here?" Zheng Lan asked the key question.

"These are all senior executives of our company, so we should all get to know each other so that we can keep in touch in the future if anything happens," Li Xiaowen explained.

"Oh!" I nodded doubtfully.

"Wei Qing, how old are you this year? Do you have a boyfriend?" Li Liwen asked me with a smile.

"I'm 22, married, and my child is almost a year old!"

My answer obviously surprised Li Liwen. "I can't believe it! Young people nowadays get married and have children so early?"

“Find the right person and get married”

"Okay! I was thinking that our Azhan is still single!" Li Liwen looked at Li Zhanwen with a smile.

"Sister, they have a very good relationship! Don't talk nonsense!" Li Zhanwen was a little flustered, "Wei Qing, don't mind, my sister always likes to introduce me to..."

"fine!"

"What a pity! What a pity!" Zheng Lan sighed while picking up some food.

"What a pity?" This aroused Li Liwen's curiosity.

"When Li Zhanwen met Wei Qing, Wei Qing already had a boyfriend. If he had gotten married earlier, I would have been very optimistic about their future!"

"You also think they are a good match!" Li Liwen was very excited as if she had found a soulmate.

"Lan'er!" I signaled Zheng Lan not to "add fuel to the fire".

"Hehe, but fate is a very strange thing. We can only say that they are not destined to be together!" Zheng Lan said regretfully and smiled at me awkwardly.

"Li Zhanwen is so outstanding, there must be a lot of people who like him!" I tried to change the subject.

"Yes, there are some. My mother introduced some to him, but he never went once," Li Zhiwen answered my question.

"Could it be that Ah Zhan has someone he loves?" Li Zhanwen's face instantly turned red when Li Liwen said this.

"Are you shy? That can't be true!" Li Zhiwen said to his younger brother.

"Sister, please stop making fun of me!" Li Zhanwen said while avoiding Li Zhiwen's gaze.

"Wei Qing, your and Xiao Yuan's company is developing very well now! You have made him a young talent!" Li Hewen said.

"It's just so-so. I'm just lucky thanks to the development of the times."

"Brother, Xiao Yuan snatched the top spot from you, you won't be dissatisfied, right?" Li Xiaowen said to his elder brother with a smile.

"How do you talk to your elder brother?" Li Hewen said to Li Xiaowen seriously.

"Why are you still angry? Did I touch your sore spot? Hahahaha!" Li Xiaowen laughed wildly, but was stopped by Li Congwen with a slap on the back.

"Wei Qing, have you ever considered coming to our company?" Li Congwen said straight to the point, which surprised me a little.

"what?"

"Whatever Xiao Yuan can give, we will give you double! Three or four times is fine!" Li Hewen said confidently.

"Or whatever conditions you want, you can put forward them and we can discuss them," Li Congwen continued.

"Oh! You are trying to poach our employees by having this meal!" Zheng Lan reacted instantly.

"There's nothing wrong with people striving for higher goals!" Li Hewen explained.

"But Xiao Yuan gave Wei Qing a big villa and various shares, and he is also one of the founders of the company. What better conditions can you offer than this?" Zheng Lan asked curiously.

"Just tell me what you want!" Li Hewen said confidently.

"As far as I know, the decision-making power of Yaoning Group is not in your hands!" I said calmly after taking a sip of water.

"Yes, my father is still in charge now, but he very much agreed to us inviting you to our company. This meal was promised by my father, but he had other things to do and didn't have time to come, so our whole family came to show our sincerity!" Li Hewen said sincerely, "Wei Qing, you are very outstanding. You were able to turn Xiao Yuan, a playboy, into a young talent. This made headlines in Hong Kong Island. Everyone was digging for the reasons for Xiao Yuan's transformation. Later, the paparazzi broke the news that behind Xiao Yuan's success was a military advisor like you. But Xiao Yuan's company is not big enough. Our Yaoning is much larger than Xiao Yuanyuan! Wouldn't it be great to come to a bigger platform and show all your abilities?"

"I'm curious about one thing. Why do you all say Xiao Yuan is a playboy? But in my opinion, Xiao Yuan is a gentle and elegant person!"

"He does look like a gentle and elegant gentleman, but if you knew what he did, you wouldn't think so," Li Congwen explained.

"What did he do?" Zheng Lan asked with a look of surprise.

"He often went to nightclubs, had a hit-and-run incident, and even beat people up when drunk... He used to only ask his family for money. Every project he started failed and he suffered a lot of losses, causing the family business to lose tens of billions. Later, his father saw that he was a loser, so he gave him some money and kicked him out to let him fend for himself, so as to prevent their company from being ruined in his hands." Li Congwen narrated slowly, as if he was watching Xiao Yuan do all this.

"That's all in the past, isn't it?"

"Don't you feel like a burden following a dandy like Xiao Yuan? You have to clean up his messes, and there are countless messes!"

"Even though he's a dandy, that doesn't change the fact that he has a keen eye for talent! If I'm a swift horse, then he's my mentor! The combination of a swift horse and a mentor is the perfect match!"

"We can also be your mentor!"

"But we also have to sort out who comes first and who doesn't. Xiao Yuan chose to believe in me when I was unknown. He has shown me great kindness, and I cannot repay him with hatred!"

"I'm not asking you to repay kindness with enmity, I just need a bigger platform, otherwise it will be too burying for your talent!"

"Xiao Yuan's platform is also good. Xiao Yuan's father, Xiao Du, is also one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong Island. His father is also his backer, so I am very confident about our future."

"He has an older brother, and his brother is his father's chosen heir!"

"That's even better. He can't inherit the family business, so he needs to expand and strengthen it on his own. His focus will be on Yuanyuan. And since he can't inherit the family business, if he has his own business, his father and brother will definitely help him build his business. Then, the power behind Xiao Yuan will not be underestimated."

I debated with the Li brothers for a long time, and when they saw that I refused to give in, they gave up with regret.

Li Hewen sighed and said, "Xiao Yuan is really lucky to have met a military advisor like you." Then he turned and left.

"If you want to come to Yaoning again in the future, you are always welcome. This is my business card. I look forward to your call!" Li Congwen gave me his business card and left.

When Li Xiaowen left, he shook his head at me and patted my shoulder, expressing his regret.

"Then we'll leave first," Li Liwen and Li Zhiwen said goodbye to me hand in hand.

"I'm really sorry. I have also advised my brothers, but they still want to fight for you. After all, your transformation of Xiao Yuan shocked the entire financial circle of Hong Kong Island, and they also want talents like you to assist them." Li Zhanwen kept rubbing his hands, not daring to look me in the eyes, and said to me apologetically.

"It's okay! I'm happy that they appreciate me. But you know, some things are based on first come first served."

"Uh, I understand!" Li Zhanwen replied thoughtfully, "Then I'll take you back."

“No need, we can just take a taxi back.”

"Yes, yes. I've caused you trouble today, so let me do something to make it up to you."

"Okay, then you, Mr. Li Liu, will be our driver for once."

When Li Zhanwen sent us back to the door, he ran into Rong Zixuan. I was a little nervous, afraid that he would quarrel with Li Zhanwen again, but it was strange that he actually took the initiative to greet Li Zhanwen!

Back in the room, I couldn't wait to ask him, "What's wrong with you? Why did you take the initiative to greet Li Zhanwen?"

"He recommended me to the racing club, so of course I have to be nice to him. Besides, he's not like that bastard Shen Junhui who always puts his hands on you."

"Wow! I bribed you with just this little thing. You don't love me anymore! Then go ahead with your racing car!" I deliberately pushed Rong Zixuan away.

"Hey, hey, hey, my wife, I was wrong!" He caught me and hugged me, "Li Zhanwen is also a gentleman, and his family education must be very strict, he wouldn't dare to do something like stealing someone else's wife."

"How do you know he has strict upbringing?"

“Told on the internet”

"Tsk! You believe what they say on the Internet! But racing is very dangerous, you are not allowed to do that kind of speeding! I don't want Jiashu and Jiache to lose their father!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you become a widow!"

"You must remember what you said today!"

"Remember, remember!"

"What did Li Zhanwen ask you to do today?"

"His brother wants to poach people"

"what?"

"They wanted to recruit me to their company and offered me many attractive conditions."

"You agreed?"

"How can it be!"

“Even if the treatment is good, you are still working for someone else. At Yuanyuan, you are at least the founder or the boss.”

"My wife is still rational! She won't be tempted by sugar-coated bullets!"

"And you, stop being so obsessed with racing and focus on your career! You have a family to support, and your two sons' milk powder and diapers depend on you!"

"I know, honey! The milk powder and diapers I earn now will be enough for my two sons until they're old!"

"Stop talking nonsense! My last words to you: don't play around!"

"Yes!"
