guest of honor

Ritian's brother who works in the United States has returned to China. I heard that he made a lot of friends in college, so he insisted on inviting everyone to dinner.Haoyu is naturally on the list, but Qin Mu is not familiar with his gang of cronies, so he thought it had nothing to do with him, but unexpectedly Haoyu insisted on inviting him to go with him: "I invited Ji Xiuhan to dinner that day, but you slipped away by yourself. Yes! You have to take this opportunity to make it up—"

Qin Mu saw through his guilty conscience at a glance, and narrowed his eyes: "Did Ritian ask you to invite me?"

Haoyu looked away awkwardly: "Why do you care so much?"

Indeed, compared with Haoyu, Qin Mu, as the heir of a listed company, is a more worthy object of affection.But in Qin Mu's view, Ri Tian and his brother are not necessarily qualified to sit at the same dinner table with him.

"You just go! It's just a meal, and I won't let you treat me!" Haoyu begged, "I was beaten by Ji Xiuhan last time, and I lost my lord at Ritian, so you don't want to let me go back on my promise and get fat again?" ?”

Qin Mu said in his heart, I can't bear it.But suddenly remembering that Ye Li will also have a dinner next Saturday, he reluctantly agrees - after all, the only person in No. 3 Nanlin Road that he misses is Ye Li himself.

To be precise, Ye Li didn't have dinner on Saturday night, but was going to meet a "teacher", Qian Songxue.Qian Songxue used to be his psychiatrist many years ago. Although Ye Li is safe and sound now, the two still keep in touch.

Every few months, Ye Li would go to Qian Songxue and his wife's house to have a meal and chat, the two of them were both teachers and friends.

Now, sitting at the dinner table, Ye Li is clinging to the chopsticks, not knowing what to do for a while.

Seeing his troubled look, Qian Songxue smiled in relief: "Why are you picking your tongue again?" But he still went to the kitchen to pick up a bone dish and asked Ye Li to throw the mushrooms he picked out into it.

Qian Songxue's husband jokingly said, "Didn't you have this problem when you came last time? Who got used to it?"

He does not mean that.Ye Li thought that he was used to it by his nephew, Qin Mu would pick out all the things he didn't like to eat before eating, but he couldn't say this, and smiled: "Who else? I Get used to yourself."

Hearing this, Qian Songxue couldn't help sighing: "You always walk alone. If there is a caring person around you who can take care of you, I don't have to worry about it."

The warmth of ironing posts slowly rose in Ye Li's chest. Compared with Ye Jingsheng, Qian Songxue and his wife were more like his relatives.He was only six years old when he saw her for the first time, and Qian Songxue was still an intern who had just graduated from university, sitting behind the instructor with a small book in his hand, recording cases with dignity.

Ye Li was Qian Songxue's first patient, and also the longest and most troublesome patient. Twenty years have passed, Qian Songxue is already a mother of two children, while Ye Li is still alone.

Ye Li put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Actually, I can live a better life alone than most people. After all these years, I have never really fallen down. Even my fear of the dark is much less than before. You There's really no need to worry about me."

After all the words, he smiled lightly.He is clearly her patient, but in turn comforts the doctor to relax.

Qian Songxue pointed at the tip of his nose with chopsticks helplessly: "You, I'm really not reassuring. Feifei and Fanfan are more obedient than you..."

Ye Li lowered his head and continued to concentrate on picking mushrooms: "Feifei should take the college entrance examination this year. Have you decided which school to apply for?"

"The child is getting older, and his ideas are very positive. He insists on going out of town. Neither my father nor I can persuade him..."

Every time Ye Li meets this family, he always has something to say.Qian Songxue's husband is a middle school teacher. In his spare time, he likes to toss and fiddle with stocks. After Qian Songxue and Ye Li finished chatting, he would ask him for candlestick charts.The two children in the family came home after evening self-study, and when they saw Ye Li, they dragged him and refused to let him go, insisting on listening to his analysis of propositional composition.

If it was in the past, Ye Li would just make do with the sofa at Teacher Qian's house for the whole night.But today, he looked at his watch and reckoned that Qin Mu would soon be done socializing.

Thinking of this, he could not help but send a WeChat message to Qin Mu: "Where is it, and when will you go home?"

As soon as the screen was turned off, the other party replied in seconds: "Yunyan Building, Xinxi Road, ready to pay the bill."

Ye Li pursed his lips and smiled, "I'll pick you up in a quarter of an hour" and put the phone back in his pocket.

"Teacher Qian, I'm going back first." Ye Li stood up and said goodbye.

The phone vibrated violently again, and the WeChat notification sound kept ringing, like a reminder.Qian Xuesong looked at his helpless expression and joked, "Why don't you take it out and see who it is?"

He didn't need to look to guess that that brat Qin Mu was having a convulsion.Most of the messages sent with this frequency are emoticons. I really don't understand how boring children can be nowadays.

Especially Qin Mu, he was like a waste of words when he typed, and he was like a mad dog when he posted pictures.

While putting on a windbreaker, Ye Li explained: "It's the child of a relative in my family. He just asked me to pick him up after a dinner party. He's at Yunyan Tower."

"Brother Ye Li!" Qian Songxue's youngest daughter, Fanfan, threw herself on his lap, tugging at his trousers to prevent him from leaving, "Why don't you stay overnight tonight?"

Ye Li rubbed the little girl's face, and kissed her forehead forcefully: "Brother has something to do tonight, next time I will bring you chocolate to apologize, okay?"

Fanfan nodded excitedly: "Okay! Strawberry flavored..."

"You bring her food, and see how fat she has become." Qian Songxue pulled her daughter over and rubbed her head, "Go and do your work, come back when you have time."

"it is good."

The little girl Fanfan chased to the door, and waved vigorously at Ye Li's back: "Brother, goodbye! Brother, come again! Brother, you have to—"

"Okay, I'll just have fun with you." Qian Songxue closed the door, and lightly slapped Fanfan on the buttocks, "Go back to the room and do your homework, you're crazy."

It only took 5 minutes for Ye Li to drive from Qian Songxue's house to Xinxi Road. Qin Mu had just come out of Yunyan Tower, followed by seven or eight young people who were staggering.But he didn't even look back, he walked straight to Ye Li.

"Those are all your classmates?" Ye Li recognized the person walking in the middle as Luo Haoyu with just a glance.He started the car, Qin Mu who was sitting next to him did not smell of alcohol, but the others were obviously drunk, staggering and in a state of embarrassment.

Qin Mu felt that this scene was a bit embarrassing: "It's not the tallest one. He's Ritian's brother, and he just came back from America."

"Ritian?" Ye Li laughed, "How did you come up with the name?"

Qin Mu blushed: "His name is Wen Hao, Ri Tianhao. Even his brother followed us and yelled..."

"Then what's his brother's name?" Ye Li asked casually, saying in his heart that the air is so bright every day, you treat him like a Teddy.

"His brother has become an American citizen, and his Chinese name is no longer used. Before the meal, he handed over his business card, called AllenWEN."

The SUV had just moved less than ten meters, and was held firmly in place by the brake.The car happened to be parked under the dim street lights, and the owner of the car who was almost rear-ended started to honk the horn frantically, and the silent summer night boiled instantly.

Inside the car, it was as silent as time freezes.Ye Li clenched the steering wheel tightly. He thought he had an auditory hallucination, and asked in astonishment, "Say it again, what's his name?"

A business card was thrown on the desk.Ye Li picked up a pen, pointed at the name in the center with the sharp tip: "AllenWEN, is he the legal representative of Anerya Private Equity?"

Meng Jiang moved the position of the business card with his fingertips: "The name is exactly the same, but I can't be sure. Where did you find this person?"

Ye Li leaned back in the boss chair, smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Qin Zi gave it to me."

Meng Jiang was puzzled, but he didn't ask further: "Have you checked it?"

"American Chinese, unmarried, a well-known CTO in the Silicon Valley business incubator circle, with total assets of about 300 million US dollars. His ancestral home is in X province, his parents are working class, and his younger brother Wen Hao is now a freshman in the Faculty of Arts of E University." Ye Li After reciting the character introduction in one breath, he smiled at Meng Jiang, "Nine out of ten it is him."

"Why?" Meng Jiang's doubts deepened.This resume sounds like an ordinary phoenix man's advancement path, and it has nothing to do with Han Youning or He Jiaqing.

Ye Li rested his chin on his palm, and Gently tapped his cheekbones with his five fingers: "He has been studying in the United States since high school. I know that he only had one sponsor before graduation, He Minghan."

"Han Youning and his wife were recommended by He Minghan. The investment vehicle is an offshore company. The legal person of the company is He Minghan, who has invested millions of senior code farmers. AllenWEN secretly owes He Minghan how much money he probably can't count with two hands." Ye Li stood up with his hands on the solid wood table, a sharp and sly light flashed through his eyes behind the gold-rimmed lenses, "You really hit the mark. He Minghan has transferred a lot of assets overseas over the years. "
