"Li Kang is really courageous. It's not enough to smuggle the goods once. It's directly regarded as the main business. It took only a few days to find a buyer. If he had been born two years earlier and changed with Li Lu, the Li family might be much stronger than it is now. " Cheng Yu said with a smile while changing Li Shu's clothes and flattening the folds on his back.

"Do you think he doesn't want to? He can hide things since he was a child. I don't know how big his appetite is."

"Li Kang is so courageous and thoughtful, why is Li Gong so stubborn to make Li Lu his successor?"

"This is the rule of the Li family, who dares not to abide by it."

Li Shu finished arranging his clothes and sat at the table, Cheng Yu followed and sat down.

"When my father passed away, my eldest brother Li Shang was only nine years old. Li Gong inherited the family business for Li Shang. He also knew in his heart that he couldn't compare to his father in terms of ability, and he couldn't compare to the three old ladies in terms of talent. He would be hard-pressed to become a gentleman. "

"However, he has done a lot for you. Maybe his ability is to be a good teacher. Look at how many of you brothers and sisters you have, you can be scared out of your wits just by saying a name." Cheng Yu smiled and poured two cups of tea .

"In order to exercise courage, take him to see the execution of the executioner?" Li Shu sneered, "It frightened Li Shang to the point of being sick for several days, so he was the only one who could figure it out."

"Maybe Mr. Gong thinks that it is very necessary not to panic when encountering anything, and to be so calm that it is frighteningly calm."

"This is the most similar thing between him and his father, except that his father treats people gently, unlike him, how can he scare people to death?"

"Maybe his warmth and tolerance are only reserved for elder brother's children?" Cheng Yu smiled.

"Tenderness?" Li Shu squinted his eyes, "Don't think of him as being so humane, it's just guilt. He should have died more than [-] years ago. The power of the Li family is not as good as before, and the heirs are scattered. He has contributed a lot."

"Don't say that, Li Gong's heart is also fleshy, there must be some guilt, for the Li family, and for you."

Li Shu couldn't laugh or cry and said: "What shame do you have for me? I left home voluntarily. Outsiders only know that the heir is dead. The Li family trained me for ten years, and suddenly left for no reason. I'm the one. Unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, he doesn't feel that I am ashamed of the Li family, thank God. But Li Kang..." Li Shu's expression suddenly became serious, "I don't know what Li Gong planned. Being favored, Li Lu bullies him every day and doesn't even talk back, he has [-]% forbearance in his temper, now that Li Kang is secretly doing such a big thing, Li Gong doesn't necessarily know."

Ghost Face knocked on the door and said, "Madam Li, Mr. Kang is here."

The girl filled the glass with wine.

Li Shu picked up the wine glass and said to Li Kang: "Kang, I originally wanted to invite you to come with the old people, but then I thought, the old people are old, and the supervisors work hard at night. You talk to them a lot, so I won't invite you." Does that mean they were invited? You won’t blame me for making my own decisions!”

"How can it be! Sister Nan is careful, there are many things at the dock, and it's too tiring to be busy. Old people should rest more when they are old." Li Kang responded with a smile.

"These days, you took over the entrustment of the old people on my behalf, and also accepted the unfeeling request to help me manage the white goods. Only then can Master Qin spare himself to supervise the opening of the tavern. You have been tired after busy work, this cup I respect you!" Li Shu drank the wine in the glass and lit the bottom of the glass.

"Sister Nan and me, why are you being polite? You trust me by handing over the white goods to me, and I respect you with this cup!" Li Kang answered freely.

Master Qin picked up the cup and said: "Mr. Kang really helped me a lot this time. Since Mrs. Li was planning to open a tavern, I have been running back and forth at the casino pier. I am not at ease when I call someone else. Thanks to you." With your help, the tavern will open in a few days."

"So fast! Congratulations, Sister Nan!"

"Kang," Li Shu suddenly stopped laughing, and said, "From now on, when there are people around, don't call me Sister Nan."

Li Kang's smile froze for a moment, and he said in a daze, "Congratulations, Mrs. Li."

Seeing the scene, Master Qin was a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed the topic: "This is mine, respect Mr. Kang, thank you Mr. Kang for your great help!"

"I'm just doing my best. I'm a little embarrassed to be so polite. Then this cup..."

Before the words were finished, someone knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Li Lu, with fierce eyes and strength on his shoulders, he glanced around, and then Guo Liucai appeared at the door staggeringly.

"I'm sorry Madam Li..." Guo Liu apologized.

Li Shu waved his hand to signal him to go down.

"Why did you come here?" Li Kang spoke first.

"Why did I come here?" Li Lu glanced at Li Kang contemptuously, squinted his eyes and said, "I still want to ask, why are you here?"

"I did a little favor for Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li invited me here. I don't think it's appropriate, but Mrs. Li has a good face and insists on me. Do you think Mrs. Li should not be given this face to come to the banquet? ?” The sexiness in Li Kang’s words went straight to Li Lu’s scalp.

Li Lu tilted his head and said with a sneer, "Yes, of course it should, thank you for the banquet, she thanks you for helping her intervene in Li's family affairs, and you thank her for helping you be the boss!"

Master Qin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Lu, you can't talk nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense?" Li Lu turned his head and looked at Li Shu, "Boss Li! You are a big shot in Shanghai now, rich, powerful and famous. Our Li family is no longer as good as it used to be, but that's not the case. Need help from you?"

Li Shu smiled and asked calmly: "Excuse me, where did Mr. Lu hear that I meddled in the affairs of the Li family?"

"There's no need to hear about it. The matter at the dock is the worst thing to hide."

"That's true. I don't have anything to hide. However, my tavern is preparing for renovation and opening. If I ask Li Kang to help me share some affairs for Mr. Qin, does that count as meddling in the Li family's internal affairs?"

Li Lu glanced at Li Kang, a pair of tiger eyes and a pair of leopard eyes matched each other.

Li Lu moved his eyes away, and began to walk around and said to himself: "I have been stupid since I was a child. My father and second uncle said that I would never learn to talk about business in my life, and at most I could only run around the dock. Sister Nan , was born to do business, the eldest brother gave way, he was the heir for ten years, and he was about to take over, but suddenly left home for no reason, changed his name and surname, and did not recognize the Li family! As for me, I took over such a hot hand Shanyu, I have studied in fear for 20 years. Sister Nan, if you come back to take back the position of heir in such a silent manner, isn't it a bit unkind?"

The words were contemptuous as if they were talking to ants that were about to be trampled to death.

Li Kang frowned, his eyes were tense, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Li Lu, Mrs. Li is not what you think..."

"When is it your turn to intervene when I'm talking with Sister Nan?!" Before Li Kang could finish speaking, Li Lu suddenly yelled something like a shot, which startled everyone present.

This blow seemed to shatter the stone that Li Kang was pressing on fire, and his blood was immediately congested.

"Ms. Li's shouts are very affectionate. Li Kang, you are the one who is most looking forward to her return and a share of the pie, right?" Li Lu saw that Li Kang suddenly became like this, and his words were full of provocation. .

Li Kang gritted his teeth so hard that his cheeks came out, and his veins twitched. He suppressed his anger and said, "Li Lu, don't go too far! Sister Nan left Li's house 20 years ago. I miss her, and want her to come back to take over the Li family, but she never agreed! And yourself, don’t you know how capable you are? The second uncle should have enjoyed his old age like the third old lady, but what about you? ? Have you counted how many times Wanchun Tower sent you back? Do you remember when a regular chamber of commerce will be held? Don’t you want to know if Sister Nan really wants to go back to Li’s house now? Well, let me tell you, She doesn't have it, I do! But it's not as dirty as you think, the second uncle has trained you for 20 years, he wants you to be successful, so that he can take over and manage the Li family well, not to make you a worthless person!"

Li Lu listened to his scolding all the time. Although he suppressed his anger, he was very interested, and said with a creepy smile: "It sounds like Mr. Kang has a lot of opinions on me! But, no matter how capable you are, , I am the big gentleman who is going to take over from the Li family, as long as I am still alive, even if the Li family collapses, you, Li Nan, don't even think about coming back!"

Li Kang looked at Li Lu smiling so proudly, the fire in his eyes wished he could burn Li Lu to death.

"If Madam Li insists on going her own way, I can't do anything to you. But I know that your tavern is located in the most chaotic part of the French Concession, and you spent a lot of money to accommodate those thugs. Some small things disturbed the foreigners above the patrol room, I am afraid that your tavern business will be hindered a little bit, right?"

After Li Lu finished speaking, he took a step back with a smile, saluted, and said, "I'm stupid, I can't speak, and if I say something unpleasant, I offend you!" Then he walked away with his head held high.

After a while, Li Shu let out a sigh of relief, the chopsticks in his hand were almost crushed, and he restrained himself as much as possible and said calmly: "Eat."

In the evening, Li Kang sat outside the mover's shed, smoking cigarettes that did not match the clothes he was wearing, without saying a word.

Ding Shan received the car and saw the news about Li Kang, came to the pier, walked outside the shed where he used to rest, saw his serious face, walked over and asked: "Mr. Kang, what are you thinking? I saw you I left a note, let me pick up the car and come to you."

Li Kang flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Well, how is your mother's illness?"

Ding Shan smiled and said, "Thanks to you, it's much better. My sister said that I can go out for a walk today!"

Li Kang smiled, and continued: "That's good. Now follow me to Fuyi Building, and call all the brothers."

Ding Shan didn't react for a while, and asked carefully: "Mr. Kang, what happened?"

"Let's talk after we go." Li Kang stubbed out his cigarette and left without looking back.

After a while, Ding Shan led several young people in different clothes into a compartment in Fuyi Building.

"Mr. Kang!" Several people greeted each other one by one.

Li Kang turned around, told them to sit down, and asked Ding Shan to pour the wine.

Ding Shan finished pouring wine for everyone, sat back on his seat, and asked, "It's so late, and Master Kang invited us here, did you encounter any trouble?"

Li Kang smiled, lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is a little trouble, but I want to ask you one thing first."

"Mr. Kang, please tell me!"

"You guys, would you like to work with me in the future?"

Several people were a little surprised, Ding Shan stood up and said: "Mr. Kang is kind to us, not to mention doing things for you, he is willing to work for you!"

A tanned man with thick eyebrows and wide face stood up and said in a loud voice: "That's right! Without your help, my daughter wouldn't be able to live today! You can do things for you because you think highly of us, why not?" Yes, tell me, don’t you?” Everyone nodded and clasped their fists in agreement.

This is Du Hu, the leader of the hooligans Li Kang met at the pier, not tall but as strong as a bear.

Liang Shu bowed his body and said, "Mr. Kang wants us to do something, and we are definitely willing to do it. It's just that we are all rough people. How can we help you?"

"Thank you for trusting me so much. I'll talk about your thanks later! I'm here to ask everyone for something," Li Kang paused, "Tomorrow is the opening day of Mrs. Li's tavern, and Li Lu will represent the Li family to attend the opening ceremony." Banquet. As you know, Mrs. Li's original surname was Li, and she left the Li family for some reasons. But Mrs. Li is very talented, and the Li family hopes that she can come back. The old people met with Mrs. Li last month. For face and reputation, Boss Li asked me to take over the affairs of the Li family’s pier. Later, Mrs. Li thought highly of me and asked me to help Master Qin manage the white goods of Li’s family. Li Lu mistakenly thought that Mrs. Li wanted to come back and compete with him for the heir She even threatened to kill her in front of Master Qin and me! I have no biological mother since I was a child, and my father died young. Only Mrs. Li has been taking care of me. Now that she is in trouble, I can't stand by and watch!"

Li Kang actually remembered Li Lu's words, but he was dealing with his elder brother Li Lu, and he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade them, so he deliberately made the matter serious.

Several people nodded.

Liang Shu asked, "Does Mr. Kang have any ideas?"

Li Kang sighed and said, "I only want to protect Mrs. Li, but we are in the light and Li Lu is in the dark. No matter how you think about it, there will be air leakage. This is my difficulty..."

Du Hu stood up abruptly, with a gust of wind, and said, "What's the problem? Li Lu is nothing. Grandma's bullying is too much! Don't be careful, just tie him up and teach him a lesson! We I don't have a few other skills, but I have great strength. I haven't fought with any local hooligans. Are you afraid that he will fail? Let Ding Houzi keep an eye on Li Lu. As long as he steps out of Li's house, this stick will be eaten. Already!"

Ding Shan said: "There is an old church in the northern suburbs. No one goes there all year round. We tied Li Lu up and went there and starved him for a day. If you come and pick him up in person, you won't delay the Li Family Chamber of Commerce, and you won't be suspicious. !"

After hearing this, Li Kang picked up the wine bowl, stood up and said, "I will keep in mind everyone's kindness. When Mrs. Li's banquet is successfully completed, I will definitely thank you all! I respect you for this bowl of wine!" After finishing speaking He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Everyone also got up quickly, and Du Hu said: "Don't say it's just a lesson to Li Lu, it's just going up the mountain of swords and down the pan of oil for you. In the blink of an eye, you are a grandson! We did it too!"
