Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Let everyone come to Beijing to hold a meeting and talk about the social responsibility of entrepreneurs and corporate culture, an old topic of inheritance.

We need to not only talk to them, but also put pressure on them.

Don't think that just because you have local support and favoritism, you can do whatever you want.

Things all piled up at once, and Yang Jianguo's time became increasingly busy.

Aside from the welcoming dinner on the first day, Runye hardly ever saw her future father-in-law at home afterwards.

At this moment, she finally understood what Zhiyi meant when she said that she wouldn't see him even once a week.

Runye had a pretty good understanding of the true situation at home.

If she had just arrived, she would have been incredibly nervous knowing all this.

Through these days of interaction, Yingzi has shown her meticulous care, treating her like a biological daughter.

Runye was able to completely unload all the burdens in her heart, and the two families also finished discussing the marriage arrangements over the phone.

After the New Year, the matter was settled in Beijing. Runye's parents, as well as her second uncle and aunt's family, all came from her hometown.

After things were settled here, Yang Jianguo and Yingzi accompanied him to Gansu and Ningxia.

Then the bride's family will organize another event, so that neither side is neglected.

However, Yingzi has had some ideas these past two days.

You said that after the two of you get married, you want to settle down in Gansu and Ningxia, so someone has to take care of the house and stuff.

It's not proper to leave everything to the bride's family.

At the very least, the wedding room needs to be decorated properly.

Otherwise, if people find out later, Zhiyuan will be talked about behind his back.

Chapter 549 The Wedding Room: Distinguishing Between Primary and Secondary Functions

"Zhiyuan, tell Mom, what are the apartments like at your workplace?"

"Mom, it's just an ordinary three-story building, and I live on the second floor."

"The room is so big, we'll eat in the cafeteria..."

Upon hearing this condition, Yingzi immediately shook her head: "No, no, it's fine if you live alone, but not if you get married."

"In that case, I'll have your uncle ask someone to get you a house, at least one that's spacious enough to live in."

“Now that you two are married, it’s not convenient for you to live at your workplace… Don’t worry about it, Mom will arrange it for you.”

Seeing her rushing off to make a phone call, Zhiyuan could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

Runye, who was standing next to him, quickly tugged at him and whispered, "Zhiyuan, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Everyone else lives in their work unit's apartment, so you should rent a place outside.

It seems like they're not on good terms with everyone and don't want to talk to anyone.

If things go wrong, it could lead to people being isolated.

Runye is fine; after the wedding, she will definitely move in with Zhiyuan.

My concern is that Zhiyuan is becoming isolated at work.

Not only is it upsetting for him, but it also damages his reputation and public image.

Zhiyuan glanced at her and said with a wry smile, "Just let my mom arrange it. I can't go against her."

What's wrong with a mother caring for her son?

He used to be alone, a grown man who couldn't bear to suffer outside.

Things are different now. He's getting married, has a wife, and will soon have a child.

That's a huge difference from when I was single.

Yingzi herself had been through it all; she knew exactly what it meant to be comfortable.

Regardless of public opinion, as long as you do your job well.

If you get married and live outside, who can say anything?

My husband has always been considerate and thoughtful in everything he does.

She was never stingy with her family or herself.

No matter how difficult life was, she never suffered any of the injustices she had endured. Now that life is better, how can she let her daughter suffer the same way?

"Aimin, I have something to tell you..."

Yingzi asked him if he knew anyone in Chang'an who could help the young couple find a house for their marriage.

It doesn't need to be particularly nice, just have a toilet, preferably two.

A room that can be used for showering is enough.

Li Aimin immediately smiled and said, "Sister, you've finally found the right person. I have a house ready in Chang'an, let them go back and choose one themselves."

"By the way, there are two apartments not far from their workplace... but they're not very nicely furnished. I'll have someone clean them up."

The company has an office in Chang'an. I gave them a heads-up and asked them to find someone to clean it up.

After that, I'll buy some new furniture and appliances.

It was cleaned up in less than a day.

What? There are fewer people during the Chinese New Year, so you have to queue?

Can I pay more? Absolutely!

Li Aimin hung up the phone and took out his mobile phone.

Seeing him still using that broken 'brick' at home, Li Lan asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay. Zhiyuan is getting married, and my sister asked me to help him arrange a place to stay."

Li Lan put down what she was holding, sat down next to him, and asked, "Is it appropriate for you to live outside?"

She also considered whether it would have a negative impact on Zhiyuan.

“What’s inappropriate about it?” Li Aimin glanced at him and said, “You know my nephew’s abilities. Do you think those people can manage without him?”

"Besides, my brother-in-law is just a principled person, not a stubborn old man."

"My son wants to use his name to cause trouble, no way. But if someone thinks he's easy to bully, hehe~"

Li Aimin chuckled and said, "That's going to be quite a show."

"Hello, can you hear me? It's me... Li Aimin..."

"Yeah, I need to tell you something... Hey... damn it, this signal is terrible..."

Li Aimin tossed the mobile phone onto the bed and picked up the landline again.

He shouldn't have expected this piece of junk to work; it's just trash that dares to charge him tens of thousands of yuan.

It's just for show.

However, it's quite prestigious to carry it around when going out, but what if you encounter danger?

In a critical moment, a headshot is a sure thing, it works every time!

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"Yes, the courtyard I bought next to the Gan Ning Research Institute last time, you clean it up."

"Is the water and electricity on? ...Check it carefully, and clean up the whole house."

"We decorated it according to the standards of a young couple's daily life, and installed all the home appliances available on the market."

"Money? I'm not afraid to spend money. It's for my nephew's wedding, so I've already prepared it for him."

"Let me tell you, this nephew is closer to me than my own son. Don't embarrass me, you hear me?"

"Anyone who makes me lose face or feel uncomfortable will be told to pack their things and get out immediately."

The subordinates are used to being lazy, and apart from him, the boss, it's hard to imagine anyone else taking them seriously.

If Li Aimin didn't give them a special warning, they might make a fool of themselves again.

He can't afford to lose this person.

How many years and when did his sister and brother-in-law ask him for help?

This was the first time she had approached him about her own child.

If it weren't for the Chinese New Year and Zhiyuan's upcoming wedding banquet, he would definitely have gone over to oversee things personally.

Only after explaining things clearly to Li Aimin did he hang up the phone.

"You're closer than a biological son, you really know how to say that," Li Lan muttered from the side, somewhat displeased.

No matter what, hearing this would definitely make you uncomfortable.

There aren't any outsiders here, so who are you putting on this for?

There are only the two of them at home. If you say that, then it must be out of genuine concern.

Oh, so in your heart, your nephew is more important than your son.

How can a mother balance this?!

Li Aimin glanced at her and said, "This nephew is even closer to me than my own son."

Seeing that she was about to explode, Li Aimin continued, "Don't forget, one day your son will also have to rely on Ren Zhiyuan."

“We’re not afraid of anything else, but if an official really sets his sights on you, who else in this family can you rely on besides him?”

The fire in Li Lan's heart was extinguished by half in an instant.

But some still protested, saying, "What about my brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law, is my brother-in-law going to work his whole life and never retire?"

Li Aimin sighed inexplicably and said, "I've already told you about the business."

"You know in your heart how many people have gone bankrupt and what happened."

“I have plenty of money. It will definitely be handed over to our son in the future. He might not be able to handle it, so it won’t be up to him.”

Li Aimin sighed inwardly; his life seemed glamorous on the surface.

In reality, it was like walking on thin ice.

If it weren't for his brother-in-law's reputation and the connections he'd built over the years...

They were long ago devoured alive by the local leaders below, bitten to death.

I said that not only to make my subordinates take it seriously.

There was also some genuine intention and a desire to plan for the child's future; the Li family and the Yang family were bound together.

Although we are as close as family, we still need to distinguish between what is important and what is not.

He said all this to his wife so that she would understand that she shouldn't think she's all that just because she has a little money.

Your assets can sometimes be destroyed by a single sentence from someone.

It's gone, just like that.

Chapter 550 Celebrating the New Year, the Old Woman's Red Veil

Thinking about these things, Li Aimin recalled the investment analysis that his advisors had done before.

Real estate...

His brother-in-law also told him that if he had extra money, he could invest in real estate.

Therefore, he has bought houses all over the place in recent years.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that I didn't really buy anything in Beijing.

Besides the house I live in, I also bought a two-entrance, two-exit courtyard house on a whim last time.

My brother-in-law and advisor both told me to buy a house, so what's there to hesitate about?
