Rebirth of the Unworthy

Chapter 22

When Li Rongxiu returned home from school, he felt waves of exhaustion welling up in his heart.It is probably because he has used his brain too much recently, which makes him look more lazy when he relaxes.He went back to his room to take a shower, stared for a while while waiting for his meal, and was finally woken up by the ringing of the phone.

Still reluctant to open his eyes, Li Rongxiu reached under the pillow and fumbled for a while, and finally put the phone on his ear.There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, if not for the sound of light breathing and a slight choking sound, Li Rongxiu would almost have thought that there was no one on the other end of the phone.

But Li Rongxiu still didn't speak first.He closed his eyes in a leisurely manner, buried his entire face in the quilt, enjoyed the warmth brought by the soft quilt and the silky smooth and comfortable touch, and then stretched extremely stretched.After rolling on the bed, he sat up.

Finally, Shen Manyao's aggrieved voice with slight tears came from the other end of the phone, she begged softly: "Rong Xiu, I'm so sad now, can you come over and be with me?"

Li Rongxiu raised his eyebrows. In his past and present lives, he has never been treated so softly and weakly by Shen Manyao.However, the heroic rescue of the beauty that has been fantasized for a long time has long since disappeared in the long-term mutual revenge and mutual harm.Li Rongxiu didn't even hesitate for a moment, and flatly replied "No".

Then he hung up the phone neatly, threw the phone on the bed, got up, and went downstairs.

The men and women of the Li family are sitting on the sofa in the living room watching tonight's news broadcast.Father Li and Brother Li were not there, because there was something wrong with the food supplier of the hotel in the capital, and these two had to rush over overnight to make sure that the hotel under the company would be able to operate normally in the morning.

In short, tonight, the two men of the Li family had to regretfully miss dinner.

Zhuang Meiru looked at her son's slightly pale and tired face who had just woken up, and she hugged her son and sat down next to her with distress, took Li Rongxiu's hand and said, "Tonight your grandfather specially ordered the kitchen to cook your favorite food. The crystal knuckle and roasted whole lamb I ate, said that you have studied hard these days, and I want to replenish your body. You should eat more later."

The Li family's way of keeping in good health is to eat lightly for dinner.On weekdays, Li Rongxiu is greedy, and people who love meat are naturally not used to the kind of health-preserving dishes with clear soup and little water, so they often order the small kitchen to add a meat dish for him. This habit makes Grandpa Li very uncomfortable.I have told Li Rongxiu several times, thinking that he can't take care of his body, and he will suffer when he gets old.But he didn't expect that today he would take the initiative to order the kitchen to give him extra meals...

Li Rongxiu looked at Grandpa Li with slightly surprised eyes, but saw Grandpa Li coughed twice pretending to be solemn, and said with a straight face: "I eat too much at night and I don't like to digest if I eat greasy food. Remember to go outside more often after meals." Walk around. You are not allowed to sit down for two hours, and you are not allowed to lie on the bed and play with your mobile phone or computer!"

With a smile on his face, Li Rongxiu walked up to Grandpa Li and sat down, put his arms around Grandpa Li's shoulders and rubbed his shoulders, rolled around and said cutely: "I know, I will walk for an extra hour tonight. Big brother won't come back at night, Grandpa, how about I play Tai Chi with you tomorrow morning?"

Grandma Li sat aside and said very sadly: "Are you only going to play Tai Chi with your grandpa?"

Li Rongxiu quickly interjected: "Why, I have to accompany grandma to water the flowers. And then pick off all the roses in the greenhouse when grandma is not paying attention-you know that the girls in our school like the flowers raised by grandma the most Well, let’s just say that the flowers are big and fragrant, and the color is good, and they are more energetic than those sold outside. It is the best to make handmade DIY perfume and soap.”

Grandma Li heard the words, pretending to be stunned and said: "I said why the flowers in my greenhouse always disappear after a while, so it was you who made trouble. Today I caught the real culprit. No, starting from tomorrow, you have to come to my greenhouse every day to work as a coolie and pay for my flowers."

Li Rongxiu stared into a pair of big black eyes, covered his lips with his hands, and innocently blinked at Grandma Li, and shouted: "Grandma, you can't be so cruel, I am your own grandson, those flowers and plants are not .”

Everyone in the Li family burst into laughter immediately.Grandpa Li squinted his eyes and felt half of his eldest grandson's body pressing on his shoulders, snorted coldly, and said: "It's useless to be used to pretending to be crazy. I will take what you say today seriously. If you If you can’t get up tomorrow morning, I will tell Lao Zhong to wake you up with an ice basin.”

"No, I will set the alarm clock tonight, and I will definitely wake up tomorrow morning." Li Rongxiu said, stood up, and strode towards the dining room, urging him as he walked: "When is the meal ready? Hungry! I think I can eat three big bowls!"

Everyone in the Li family who had been waiting for Li Rongxiu to go downstairs saw Li Rongxiu go all out just for a meal, and unconsciously smiled at each other.

But the next morning, Li Rongxiu still couldn't play Tai Chi with Grandpa Li.Because Grandpa Li was woken up by a phone call at four o'clock in the morning, it is said that a food supplier in the Wancheng Hotel also had a problem, so Grandpa Li had to go to the supplier's place of origin in person to discuss how to solve the problem Method.

So when Li Rongxiu woke up on time at 06:30 in the morning, only Grandma Li, Mother Li and Uncle Li were left at home.

"What's going on? Why do so many suppliers have problems in one day? Could it be that someone deliberately targeted our Li family?"

It's no wonder that Li Rongxiu thinks so, after all, what happened...is really weird.

"It's not that someone deliberately targeted the Li family, but to be honest, this matter is inseparable from the Chi family..." Li Bingru, who has always been well-informed, immediately reported to his friend Hull after Grandpa Li received a call this morning. Baron Nande found out the whole story.At this moment, he was talking to the curious Li Rongxiu.

It turned out that Chi's family insisted on currying favor with Yao's family that day, so they specially spent huge sums of money to build a shipyard in an attempt to enter the international shipping market with the support of Yao's family.But he didn't expect that after the exposure of Chi Junrui and Shen Manyao's matter, it would directly affect the marriage contract between Yao and Chi.

Now the Yao family has unilaterally tore up the contract between the two, and the Chi family shipyard has encountered a bottleneck in technical overcoming without the Yao family's assistance, which is difficult to solve.However, in order to revive the prestige of the Chi family and calm down the sharp drop in the stock market of the Chi family, the owner of the Chi family had no choice but to take a risk and announce to the media that the cargo ships built by his own shipyard have fully met the technical standards and can be put into use.

Speaking of which, in fact, the Patriarch of the Chi family was also cheated by the technicians of his own company.You must know that the Chi family has invested two or three years in research and development and technology in the shipyard.In the past two years, the financial and material resources invested are like the flowing water of the Milky Way, so the Patriarch of the Chi family certainly feels that after such a long time, even if his own technology is not as good as that of the Yao family, he would not dare to engage in those high-end luxury luxury cruise ships and private bookings. yachts, but it is not a problem to get some low-end cargo ships.

And the technical developers of Chi's company didn't dare to admit in front of the owner of Chi's family that what they researched was a piece of shit. Chi's two years of money had been wasted, so they could only say obsequiously. no problem.

And the Patriarch of the Chi family naturally became more confident after receiving professional affirmation.

At the same time, in order to build up the competitiveness of their own cargo ships in the international market, the owner of the Chi family made a lot of fuss about the selling price of the cargo ships, selling goods to poor countries in the third world of Africa under the banner of high quality and low price.

There is a saying in the empire that if you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard.When the selling price of the Chi family's cargo ships was only about two-thirds or even half of the market price, those small manufacturers were tempted to place orders with the Chi family even though they knew that there might be problems with the Chi family's products.And the outcome of the matter is of course predictable... Sure enough, something went wrong with the Chi family's cargo ship.

A few days after payment was made and delivery was made, Chi's cargo ship had an oil leak while it was in motion.Coincidentally, the sea area polluted by the cargo ship happened to be the seafood ranch owned by the deep-sea seafood suppliers of Li's Hotel.So... The Li family followed suit.

Li Rongxiu was dumbfounded listening to Uncle Li's explanation, and at the end, he could only shake his head secretly and said: "It's only been a few days, this Chi family is too troublesome."

But even though he said so in his mouth, Li Rongxiu was still gloating in his heart.In the previous life, because the Li family found out late, the Chi family got married to the eldest lady of the Yao family as they wished. With the technical support and strength of the Yao family, although the Chi family also suffered revenge from the Li family, they did not suffer from the current injury. bone.

Reminiscent of the phone call Shen Manyao made to him last night, Li Rongxiu suddenly regretted secretly - why did he hang up the phone so resolutely.No matter how disgusting and crooked he is, he should persevere.We should find out the truth from the mouth of the person involved...

This room Li Rongxiu was secretly gloating, and Zhuang Meiru asked worriedly: "This Chi family is really harmful... I don't know how much this incident will affect, will it destroy that piece of sea area?" The ecological balance. You know, the business of this hotel is becoming more and more difficult nowadays. It is easy to have a few reliable food suppliers, but now they have suffered another disaster. Why do you think our Li family is so unlucky , Things that are out of reach can also affect our family."

Grandma Li also let out a long sigh, shook her head and said, "Don't complain, let's be serious, our Li family is considered good, and those food suppliers are the most unlucky. You talk about them, whoever you provoke If things go wrong, the company involved in this matter will go bankrupt..."

When Li Rongxiu heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly had an idea.
