Chapter 142: Increase your reputation first
"So she and your brother Fei are also classmates?" Cheng Ma asked.
"Auntie, I'm not a classmate, I'm from the same school, so I'm an alumnus."
"So how old is she?"
"Two years younger than Brother Fei."
"Okay, okay! We're about the same age." Cheng's mother was so happy that she was probably thinking about how many children Cheng Fei would have.
"By the way, what's going on at home?" Cheng's mother asked.
"At home! I don't know this very well. It should be an ordinary family." Li Le thought for a while and said.
Cheng's mother patted Li Le on the head and said, "Oh! You kid, that's not what I'm asking about. What I'm asking about is who is in his family? And what are her family's plans?"
"Uh!" Li Le was speechless.
But think about it! Neither Cheng's mother nor Cheng's father seemed to care about the woman's family situation.
Because the Cheng family does not need marriage, Cheng's father works in a construction company, and he will work if he is given money, and he will not work if he is not paid.
There is no need to worry about any capital chain issues at all, because the Cheng family has enough funds, and when doing construction, they don't need to spend too much money.
Of course, this is only for the Cheng family. Others may feel that there is a lot of financial pressure.
"Auntie, didn't I tell you? I only know one thing. You should ask her yourself about this."
"I don't know her, and I've never met her. How can I ask?"
"Auntie, you don't know me, but I do! As long as you are willing, I can ask her out and let you meet her."
"Hey! This is a good idea!" Cheng Ma thought for a while and said.
But he quickly said: "No, no, it hasn't been decided yet! I'll just see her, that's not good."
"Auntie, what do you think the success rate is based on Brother Fei's ability?" Li Le asked.
"Ah! This..." Cheng Ma didn't know what to say.
"Okay! It doesn't matter if we meet once, it will work. If not, it won't work."
"That's right. I'll make a call later and make an appointment. But auntie, where will the appointment be?"
"Xiao Le, what do you think of a date at home?" Cheng's mother asked.
Li Le thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's not good. It's a bit too much to make an appointment at home for the first time we meet."
"Then make an appointment outside and find a cafe or dessert shop. Don't you young people like this?"
"Okay, let's go to the coffee shop! How about the Starbucks near Phinea's work?"
"Starbucks?" Cheng Ma frowned.
I guess I feel that Starbucks is too popular and not taken seriously enough.
"Auntie, it's our first time meeting you. You don't need to go to any special place. Starbucks is just fine."
Hearing what Li Le said, Cheng's mother thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's up to you, it's Starbucks."
"Um!"
After confirming it, Li Le called Chen Ying and agreed to go to a Starbucks near Cheng Fei's company tomorrow morning.
Of course, the phone call didn't say it was near Cheng Fei's company, it just mentioned a place, and Li Le didn't say it was Cheng's mother who wanted to see her.
He was afraid that she would not dare to come, so Li Le just made an excuse.
After hanging up the phone, Li Le gave Cheng Ma an OK gesture.
As Li Le and Cheng Ma chatted, time passed by minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work in the afternoon.
Dad Cheng was the first to come back. He is the boss! You can leave whenever you want, and you'll definitely leave before rush hour.
"Hey! Did Xiaole have time to come over today?" Seeing Li Le, Cheng's father handed the bag to the nanny and asked. "Uncle, I'm here to see you." Li Le quickly stood up and said.
"Looking for me?" Dad Cheng looked at Li Le and didn't understand why Li Le was looking for him.
"Yes, I'm looking for you." Li Le nodded and said firmly.
"What do you want from me?" Dad Cheng sat down after speaking.
"Uncle, this Sunday, I want you to attend an auction at Christie's."
"You want me to go to the auction?" Dad Cheng was a little confused. He didn't bid for anything, so why would he go to the auction?
"Hmm! I want you to help me take a picture." Li Le stated his purpose.
"Take a painting? What painting? Is it important?" Dad Cheng frowned and asked.
Because he has no research on these things and does not like these things. In the words of Dad Cheng, it is better to buy a few good watches than to buy this thing.
"Uncle, the painting is not important, it is not an ancient painting, it is a painting by a modern painter, but I hope you can help take a picture."
"It's a painting painted by a modern painter!" Dad Cheng breathed a sigh of relief obviously.
"right."
"No problem, I don't have anything to do on Sunday anyway, so I'll go take pictures for you."
"Thank you, uncle. If it weren't for something important on Sunday, I would have taken the photo myself." Li Le said.
In fact, that's not the case at all. Even if he had nothing to do on Sunday, he would not go filming.
Even if Dad Cheng doesn't have time, he will find someone else to do it, and this person also has certain financial strength and reputation.
Li Le is too young. Although he is rich, he is not suitable. There is still time for him in the future, so he must not show up.
"By the way, Xiaole, how much do you expect to spend on this painting?" Dad Cheng asked.
"Uncle, it's like this. If it's less than 10 million, you can call it whatever you want. If it's more than 10 million, don't worry about it."
"Ah! No, Xiao Le, you are paying 10 million for a painting by a modern painter. Are you sure you got it right?" Dad Cheng looked at Li Le and asked.
Of course Li Le knew that 10 million was a bit high, but it was just a bit high, and Mr. Wu's paintings were definitely worth the money.
It's a pity that he is not famous, otherwise the price may be more than this, and this is just the first step of Li Le's plan.
Since Mr. Wu is not famous, Li Le will raise his reputation, and raise it even higher.
"Uncle, I'm sure, just take pictures and I'll transfer the money to you first."
"No, let's wait until the photo is taken! I don't know how much it will cost yet, or whether it can be taken. If you give me the money, I may have to transfer it to you when the time comes. It's too troublesome to go back and forth."
Dad Cheng also knew that Li Le was rich. Of course, he knew it from Cheng Fei's mouth. Dad Cheng didn't know how much money he had.
Not only Cheng’s father didn’t know, but Cheng Fei didn’t know either! In Cheng Fei's words, they are richer than his family anyway.
"Okay." Li Le nodded.
Seeing that Li Le had finished talking to Cheng's father, Cheng's mother said at this time: "Old Cheng, I want to tell you something."
"What's up?"
"Your son has a girlfriend." Cheng's mother said with a smile.
Father Cheng curled his lips, looked at Mother Cheng and said, "Do you think I believe it?"
Hearing what Cheng's father said, Li Le was speechless. Cheng Fei was so disappointing! Dad Cheng didn't believe him so much.
"What I said is true, or it was introduced by Xiao Le. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Le if it is true?"
"Xiao Le, tell me!"
