Chapter 117: Minister of Industry Li Changqing
Seeing the urging look in Li's mother's eyes, Li Tiantian impatiently picked up the phone and dialed.
"Dad! Are you busy at noon today? Mom asked you to come back for dinner!"
Li Changqing, the experienced man on the other end of the phone, immediately understood what was going on. He knew that he didn't beat his wife, but he beat his daughter, so it must be about his daughter.
"Okay! I got it. Tell your mom and I'll be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Li Tiantian said to her mother, "Dad said he will be back soon."
After Li's mother nodded, she added some water to Zhao Yun's cup.
"Zhao Yun, the New Year is pretty good at home!"
"Everything is fine! Auntie! No need to add more water." Zhao Yun half stood up and held the cup with both hands.
"Well! Do you have any brothers or sisters at home?"
"I am the only child in my family."
"Well! Are you going to college this year?"
"Yes! I'm a freshman at Yandu University. Teacher Li is my English teacher."
"Haha! You look quite young. How old were you when you went to college?"
"I'm eighteen. I was specially recruited into Yandu University."
"Eighteen?" Li's mother turned and looked at Li Tiantian.
"Mom! Look at you, someone comes to visit our house, why are you asking all kinds of questions?" Li Tiantian said dissatisfiedly.
"Zhao Yun! Just watch TV carefully. I'm really impressed." Li Tiantian said to Zhao Yun.
"You kid, I'm going to the kitchen to cook. Zhao Yun, you and Tiantian can chat!"
"Okay, Auntie!" Zhao Yun stood up and said to Li's mother.
After saying that, Li's mother nodded and stood up to go to the kitchen. After Li's mother left, Zhao Yun felt that the atmosphere was not so depressing anymore.
"When did you come back? Why didn't you call me?"
"I came back yesterday, cleaned up the house, and then went to the company. I came to your place to wish you a happy new year as soon as I woke up today."
"You said you were here to have a meal, why are you taking things?"
"Would it be nice if I didn't bring anything when I came out to pay New Year's greetings?"
"There are a lot of problems! After dinner, help me pack my things and load them into the car so we can go back to school."
"Okay! I'll listen to you."
The two were chatting when an Audi pulled up to the door and a friendly middle-aged man carrying a briefcase walked into the house.
Li Tiantian said, "My dad is back." Then she stood up to take Li Changqing's briefcase. Zhao Yun also stood up quickly and said to Li Changqing, "Uncle, Happy New Year!"
Li Changqing smiled kindly and stretched out his hand to press down. "Happy New Year to you too, please sit down! Don't be so polite."
After Li Changqing sat down, Li Tiantian pulled Zhao Yun's sleeve. "Hurry up and sit down."
"Dad, Zhao Yun came to pay me New Year's greetings, and brought you a box of good tea, why don't you try it!"
"Haha! Really? Zhao Yun is thoughtful."
Li Tiantian opened the tea leaves Zhao Yun brought and brewed them for Li Changqing. According to etiquette, the things brought by the guests should not be used before the guests leave, but Li Tiantian really did it.
Li Changqing watched Li Tiantian's series of actions without any reaction on the surface. He continued to chat with Zhao Yun, but he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
At this time, Li's mother also came out from the kitchen wearing a scarf, "You are back, the food will be ready soon. Come and see what we are going to give Zhao Yun to drink at noon?"
"Well! I'll go take a look! You two can chat first!"
Zhao Yun was about to stand up and say that he didn't need to drink anything, but Li Tiantian reached out to stop him.
Li Changqing and his mother walked to the next room.
"What's going on? Call me back?"
"After Tiantian broke up with her boyfriend, a man suddenly came to her house. Shouldn't I ask you to come back and take a look?"
"Them?" Li Changqing looked at Li's mother with a look of disbelief.
"I don't know if it is true or not. What if it is true? You have to check it out. What if opportunists take advantage of our family?"
"No way, Zhao Yun doesn't look very old!" Li Changqing said a little unconvinced.
"It's not the best, I'm just afraid he has other intentions. Tiantian is careless about everything she does and doesn't take it to heart. She even helps others count the money after being sold."
"I think you're overthinking it. I just talked to him and I know what's going on. Zhao Yun seems to be her student. Tiantian helped him with his English lessons, so he came here to thank her. And Tiantian just opened the tea leaves Zhao Yun brought. It's clear she doesn't have any bad intentions."
"You've met more people than I have, so your judgment of people should be fine."
"Don't think too much about it. Zhao Yun is so young that it's impossible."
"Are there still few teacher-student romances nowadays?"
"That's all right! It's okay! I've just been thinking about random things all day long."
Li Changqing took out a bottle of unlabeled wine from the house.
"How about Zhao Yun having a glass of white wine with uncle at noon?"
"Dad! You are such a fool. Zhao Yun is still in school. Why is he drinking? Besides, he is driving. We will return to school after dinner."
"Go back to school? You don't live at home anymore? Isn't there still two days before school starts?" Li's mother asked Li Tiantian.
"There's nothing interesting to do at home. I have to prepare for my classes when I get back to school and clean up the house! It's all dusty after not being used for so long."
As she spoke, Li's nanny began to put the dishes on the table one by one.
"Brother, sister's meal is ready." Mrs. Wang said to the people chatting in the living room.
"Okay! Zhao Yun, let's go eat and try the food at uncle's house!"
Li Tiantian pulled Zhao Yun and forced him to sit on the chair while Li Changqing and Li's mother looked at each other.
After dinner, Li's mother helped Li Tiantian fold clothes. Zhao Yun went upstairs to help Li Tiantian move things, while Li Changqing went back to work. Before leaving, he also told Li's mother to give Zhao Yun a gift in return.
After loading all the things into the car, the two drove to Yandu University.
Two cars, one white and one orange, stopped at the door of Li Tiantian's apartment.
"I'll treat you to something nice tonight. You must have had a bad lunch at my house. How about hot pot?"
"can!"
"After you help me carry my things up, go buy some food while I clean up the room."
"You invited me?"
"Of course I'm the one who invited you. Didn't I pay for the place?"
"You're really great!" Zhao Yun carried the box and followed Li Tiantian upstairs.
"That's enough! It's not suitable for you to watch now. I need to pack my clothes. You can go out and do some shopping."
Zhao Yun rolled his eyes at her, then went out to the supermarket and bought all the meats he liked. As for Li Tiantian, she could just eat whatever he ate. It was fine if she wanted to find fault without spending any money.
After putting the things in the trunk, Zhao Yun returned to his apartment, watched TV and waited for Li Tiantian's call.
In the evening, Zhao Yun had another hotpot meal at Li Tiantian's apartment.
"Let's eat together in the future. It's boring to eat in the cafeteria alone." Li Tiantian said as she put the mutton in her mouth.
"How can we eat together? My meals are all prepared!"
"You eat more exquisitely than a girl like me every day!" Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, because other girls have also said this.
Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian didn't care about their body shape and training. After all, only when they are full can they have the strength to lose weight! Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian were fighting for food. It must be said that the food in Li Tiantian's apartment is more delicious than that in her villa. No wonder Li Tiantian doesn't like to live at home. The aura of that house is too strong. Even if Li Changqing is very kind and amiable, Zhao Yun still feels depressed. After all, Li Changqing's title as the Minister of Industry is already intimidating.
