Chapter 392 Guest
December 1st is Wednesday.
That means Wei Yunzhi is in class.
Li Yan didn’t know whether to say yes or no for a moment.
If Wei Yunzhi were here, it would be as if he were meeting his parents... But it can be broken by silently saying "just good friends" in your heart.
The main reason is that I am worried that some interactions between the two of them that have formed a tacit understanding will have different meanings in the eyes of the little beauty's parents.
I feel very embarrassed and nervous just thinking about it.
But if Wei Yunzhi is not here, Wei Yili calls Li Yan to his home... it is really a bit baffling.
Being at the company or in a restaurant is better than being at home, right?
No matter how you think about it, President Wei Da has no need to show off his financial resources through the house.
It shouldn't be an inspection of the future son-in-law...
Li Yan was suddenly startled, how the hell did he think of this?
When he thought of this, Li Yan was still a little angry.
Although Wei Yili's wealth is beyond his reach now. If he had the opportunity to meet Mr. Wei in his previous life, he would have been able to talk about it for several years. But now, Li Yan can only say, buddy, you still have to practice.
No matter who it is, it is not the responsibility of investigating me.
With this inexplicable emotion, Li Yan got out of the car and came to Tianhong Garden, which had some fate with him.
Only this time, he finally came to the "real" Rainbow Garden.
Behind the villas where Li Yan came for the first time, on the hillside.
After walking in, I realized that this "hillside" is actually a golf course.
It is different from the uniform houses you see when entering from the main entrance of "Tianhong Garden". Climbing up the gentle slope, the houses hidden behind the trees reveal themselves in various shapes and forms.
Each house is very well designed and has a friendly but not intimate distance from each other.
For a moment, Li Yan thought he was in Northern Europe.
It seems that if they are rich enough, these rich people really don’t like to squeeze into the elevator with others.
Wei Yili's house is a typical modernist style building, upright, simple and flat.
The white panels and black-framed floor-to-ceiling windows suddenly aroused some memories of Li Yan’s past life of studying architecture.
This is truly "dead memories attacking me".
When I was studying in college in my previous life, I designed countless small villas like this, dreaming of using them as my own house in the future.
In light of reality, I also considered running back to my hometown to find a piece of land in the countryside, investing some money to design and build it myself, and make it a dream house.
Now that I have seen such a house, I feel a little excited.
In the center of a developed provincial capital, there is a three-and-a-half-story modernist design villa with an area of about 700 square meters at a glance... very good, very suitable for Wei Yili's identity.
The driver arrived here and left without looking back.
Li Yan didn't even have time to ask him how to get through the iron gate of the yard.
A large black iron door that is as thick as if it contains an ancient secret treasure, especially the complicated patterns on it, is so... so stressful.
The problem is that next door to this iron gate is a wall made of iron fences - otherwise Li Yan wouldn't be able to see what the villa inside looks like.
The wall doesn't look high, and with Li Yan's physical fitness, it won't be difficult to climb over it.
Just as I thought of this, the iron doors slowly opened from both sides.
There was a familiar figure standing inside. Wei Yili’s driver, whom he met once when he was playing golf last time, was known as “Uncle Gao”.
Although he is called uncle, he is actually quite old. He looks almost fifty, and when he walks in, he realizes that he is also 1.8 meters tall. His body looks like he needs some exercise every day.
The face was kind, and he greeted Li Yan with a smile.
"Hello, Uncle Gao."
"Mr. Li, you are welcome. I am Mr. Wei's housekeeper. Please come with me."
There is a reason to say "Please come with me" from the yard to the door of the house. It is really a bit too big, and it is also Nine twists and turns - Wei Yili probably doesn't usually take this route.
Li Yan was wondering along the way, how to ensure safety in a villa like this?
Look at the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, the not-so-high balcony on the second floor, and the iron fence at the door that is not difficult to climb.
We all know that rich people live in Tianhong Garden, so we can’t rely solely on door security, right?
Just where Wei Yili lives, one day someone hid on the golf course and broke in through the window in the middle of the night...
You must know that many business wars are not as advanced as everyone thinks, and there are various strategizing methods. In this kind of competition for high-level talents, most of the time... the competition is just for life.
Many great companies really rely on one soul person to support them. As long as this person is here, it doesn’t matter whether the company system is inadequate, overstaffing, or internal struggles.
Get rid of this person, and the company will soon fall into civil strife.
Li Yan couldn't think of anything to admire the well-proportioned garden. Compared with the rocks, koi carps, and potted plants inside, they should be sky-high prices.
This kind of place... Li Yan sighed, it's really easy to get lost.
It’s all lies to say that you don’t yearn for it.
Uncle Gao opened the door, Li Yan changed into slippers, and glanced around uncontrollably.
In fact, there is not much to say, modernist style, spacious enough interior space, plus a dazzling array of high-end furniture and luxury ornaments - at least in this area, "the emperor's golden hoe" is not wrong of.
After all, it is a place where people live, so there is no way to have fun.
But this hoe is indeed made of gold.
Li Yan took a glance and saw a lot of expensive "toys", such as piled in the corner of the living room - he didn't even know whether to call it a living room, it actually looked more like a small square. -- several vinyl record players, and a lot of stereos next to them.
This is obviously just one of Wei Yili's many hobbies.
Through the entrance corridor, Li Yan saw an elevator.
On the third floor, get an elevator?
Oh my god, is this where Wei Yunzhi lives?
No wonder the little beauty has a special liking for the various fireworks in Rongxi Old Market.
She is missing!
"Mr. Wei is on the second floor."
Going up to the second floor and passing through a corridor, Li Yan suddenly heard the sound of cooking and smelled a complex aroma.
"This is the banquet room. Please come in. I'll be outside. If you need anything, you can come to me." Uncle Gao stopped and opened a wooden door for Li Yan.
So it turns out that the family is big enough to have a separate banquet hall, so Wei Yili simply hired a chef to cook at home...
No, as soon as Li Yan walked into the banquet living room, he saw someone wearing an apron. Wei Yili was stir-frying in front of the flaming stove.
After a while, Wei Yili turned around and put the slightly burnt beef cubes with green onion, vine pepper and snowflakes on the plate, and then said to Li Yan who was observing several delicacies on the table:
“Here you go. Don’t say anything to me and scare me.”
"Mr. Wei is concentrating on cooking and can't bear to be disturbed."
Wei Yili took off his apron and put the last dish on the table. He looked at the eight dishes on the table with pride, "I heard that you have a big appetite. Eight dishes , I won’t do it again if it’s not enough.”
…Do you listen to what your daughter said?
"That's enough," Li Yan waved her hand, "I didn't expect Mr. Wei to cook in person, I was flattered."
"No," Wei Yili took out a bottle of red wine and gave it to himself Pouring a glass, he said, "You are now the darling of Linjiang and even China. It will be a big mistake if I don't treat you well."
Then he suddenly froze, "I always forget that you are underage and cannot drink alcohol. Let me see, how about I make you a glass of fruity sparkling water?"
"Then there is Mr. Lauwe."
Wei Yili went to the refrigerator and said, "Li Yan, it's just the two of us here today, so there's no need to say some polite words. I've invited you to my house. Naturally, I hope to chat like friends."
“No problem.”
“I just have the jam I made yesterday. It’s still fresh. It’s peach flavored. I heard you like it?”
…Do you still listen to what your daughter said?
To Li Yan's surprise, Wei Yili was very skillful in mixing drinks. There were a few movements where he was almost like a bartender. He looked at the dishes on the table that were all delicious and delicious, and said that they were all produced by the chef of a star-rated hotel.
No wonder they can catch up with the Bai Yueguang that the directors have longed for when they were young - maybe it's the other way around, and again, the directors didn't lose unjustly.
But, what exactly does Wei Yili want Li Yanlai to do?
"Come on, come on," said President Wei Da, who was wearing homely blue long-sleeved bottoms and a brown sweater today. He looked quite un-bossy, "This beef nugget that was just cooked is my favorite. Try it while it's hot."
Li Yan nodded, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The surface was properly caramelized, releasing the charming flavor of the Maillard reaction. The moderately salty sauce evenly coated the surface of the beef cubes, absorbing the flavor of the green onions. Stimulated by the aroma and vine pepper, abundant juices burst out the moment you bite into the beef, and the aroma of fat instantly fills your mouth.
The taste is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Li Yan's eyes widened after one bite.
Is this more than just the product of a star-rated hotel chef? Li Yan rarely eats such fine chaff outside!
“In order to make this dish, I bought a strong stove and ate the better snowflake beef in different categories. It took many experiments to blend the aroma of green onions and vine peppers. Chinese way of doing it It is also very good to handle this kind of good meat that is usually only used for frying steaks.”
Li Yan is not a gourmet. Although he can praise it with his good Chinese skills, but now his mind is full of what Wei Yili wants to do, so he can only nod and say it is delicious.
Other dishes are basically ingenious, giving people an "innovative dish" experience.
For example, blueberry yogurt sauce with boiled baby squid. Li Yan thought this dish was dark, but unexpectedly it was delicious.
So Wei Yili told Li Yan a series of stories about how he selected ingredients, how to season, how to ask for advice, etc.
During the meal, I basically listened to Mr. Wei talk about his cooking experience.
"I have eaten at all the top restaurants in Linjiang, both Chinese and Western. Sometimes I feel that in fact, both sides have their own strengths, but the high-quality ingredients are the same. Why can't we try to learn from each other's strengths? I believe it is reasonable enough. , which can give the ingredients a more exciting taste.”
Li Yan nodded seriously after benefiting a lot.
But at the same time, he became even more confused. Is Wei Yili really looking for presence?
"Wan Tang has something to do today, otherwise I would like her to meet you."
Are you going to...say something serious?
Wei Yili suddenly sighed, "I haven't cooked for her for a long time. It's rare to cook today. Alas."
...What are you doing?
"Li Yan, what do you think of this house?"
"It's pretty good, just like in the novel." Li Yan smiled, "But... I always feel a little uncomfortable. Safe. "
"Safe. There are infrared rays on the fence. If it is damaged or someone climbs in, there will be an alarm. The floor-to-ceiling windows look fragile and cannot be opened with a gun. If someone tries to destroy it, the emergency iron curtain in the window will fall, and my house will become a steel fortress. The garden has its own security team, and I also have two privately hired bodyguard teams.”
"...Wow." Li Yan expressed his amazement.
“This security system alone costs three million.”
No, brother, do you really need to show off your wealth to me in this way?
“Look,” Wei Yili suddenly stood up and took Li Yan to the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, “I heard that you like to play badminton and basketball, and I have venues here.”
...Do you still listen to your daughter?
Only then did Li Yan realize that the building on the east side of the yard was not someone else's house or warehouse, but Wei Yili's own "gymnasium".
“Do you like it?” Wei Yili suddenly asked.
Li Yan was even a little dazed for a moment, what do you like?
“This kind of life.” Wei Yili added.
Oh, it turns out to be this.
"Of course I do." Li Yan was very candid. "This question is only worth discussing if it's asked, 'Is it your lifelong goal?' If you just say whether you like it or not, everyone likes it, even saints like it."
"I just have a few questions. Come, sit and chat." Wei Yili took Li Yan to the "tea room".
There are even burning incense and melodious music playing here.
The overall layout is much more advanced than the VIP room in the serious teahouse where Li Yan went to meditate before.
“This tea belongs to you, Lincheng.” Wei Yili took out a can of gilded red tea, and the aroma was fragrant as soon as he opened it.
"Although I'm from Lincheng, I'm not really good at tea tasting." Li Yan smiled awkwardly.
“Have you drunk the tea from the top of the pool that day?”
“No.”
“Send it to you.” Wei Yili took out two cans from the cabinet and found one. Packed in cloth bags.
“Thank you Mr. Wei.”
"Are you so polite? The food you just ate was pretty good, right?"
"It's very delicious."
"A few restaurants I often go to, Juxianju, Shanfang Private The chef, Huacai House, and the master chef of Linjiang Restaurant, He Guohua, the leading master of Linjiang cuisine, occasionally invite him to cook a few dishes to gather with friends."
"Ah. ..." What's wrong with Li Yan?
“Have you eaten it?” Wei Yili asked directly.
"I haven't eaten before." Li Yan replied simply.
“Here you go, these are their VIP cards. Bring this card to a meal. It won’t cost you much. We told you a day in advance that a separate private room will be arranged and the boss will accompany you. Master He only gives it to ten people. This card is a bit precious."
"I can't have this." Li Yan became more and more confused as to what Wei Yili wanted to do.
“I asked for it specially for you, and if you don’t appreciate it, then I will be embarrassed.”
So Li Yan could only accept it.
"Do you like watches?"
Li Yan was completely confused by the question. Even though his psychology score had exceeded 60%, he couldn't guess what Wei Yili wanted to do at this moment.
After giving Li Yan a series of gifts, Mr. Wei also showed a puzzled expression:
“Li Yan, I really don’t understand you very well.”
Brother, Mr. Li doesn’t understand you even more.
"You really don't have any mental mysophobia, and you can still accept these material enjoyments..."
"It's not just acceptance. Saying 'acceptable' is too pretentious. I still pursue material enjoyment."
< br>Nonsense, after I am reborn, why don’t I try everything I haven’t tried before?
Being a rich man in this life, and then living the same life as in the previous life, what else can you say about "being spiritually wealthy is truly wealthy", are you crazy?
“Then why didn’t you fight for these yourself?”
Li Yan could see from Wei Yili's eyes that he was really confused.
Indeed, Li Yan has never tried anything Wei Yili just said.
"Where are your parents, still in Lincheng?"
"Uh...yes. In fact, there is already a house in New Taipei, but they are not planning to come here yet."
"Aren't you going to force them to come over?"
"Not prepared."
Wei Yili showed a playful expression, "Look, this is what I want to ask, why? With your current status and wealth, you can fully enjoy the things I gave you. . The 30 million start-up capital I gave you has reached the stage where other investments are pouring in without spending much. When the system is developed, I don’t know how many people are rushing to give you money.”
Li Yan finally understood Wei Yili's intention for this meeting.
"Li Yan, you still have so much money that you have earned." Wei Yili narrowed his eyes, "You are still living an ordinary life, but you are obviously not a person without material needs, why? ”
Is this how the boss defines ordinary people?
After all, Li Yan didn't have to spend money to eat. He could eat abalone, lobster, etc., which was not the case for ordinary people.
But comparing Li Yan's current status and wealth, he does live an ordinary life.
“Because it’s not the time to show off your wealth yet.” Li Yan replied.
Wei Yili's eyes widened with an expression of surprise, "Not yet?"
"I am still in the investment period until I can recoup my capital and make money by selling my mobile phone. , is not the time to enjoy life.”
Mr. Wei suddenly applauded, his smile full of appreciation for Li Yan:
"Good boy, Yili Group has invested 100 million in future technology."
