Film and television urban drama starts from Nothing But Thirty

“Uncle, you are too polite. This is not hard work for me.”
At this point, Li Guorong asked: “Guokai, Chen Fang has been in Hong Kong for a while… Come on, tell me what you do.”
It was obvious that Li Guorong was worried about Chen Fang and wanted to ask his younger brother if there was any problem. After all, he knew more.
“Brother, I know about Chen Fang… This kid is pretty good, and has achieved more than some of my other kids…”
Li Guokai told Chen Fang everything. After he finished, he looked at Chen Fang apologetically and said, “Chen Fang, your uncle has asked someone to investigate you. You won’t be angry, will you?”
Chen Fang then said with an expression of “sudden enlightenment”: “Of course not, so that’s how it is. I was wondering why the people from Bank of China wanted to investigate me………”
“Actually, I was worried about you too. Now that I see that you are okay, I feel relieved.”
“understand.”
After Li Guorong understood the situation, he stopped asking any more questions. He thought to himself that Hong Kong really is full of gold. How long has his nephew been here, and he has already earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars?
In my heart, I couldn’t help but look forward to Li Yi, to see if he would be like Chen Fang.
Although he doesn’t like money, he is happy to see his children have the ability to create.
Li Mingjie and Li Mingsi standing by were a little disdainful of their father’s words at first, thinking that Chen Fang was just an ordinary person from the mainland, so how could he be better than them?
But when they learned that Chen Fang had earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, they were immediately surprised.
Although tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars are nothing to the Li family, it is still very difficult for a person to start from scratch, and their Li family will not have such a large business immediately.
There was still some time before dinner, so Li Guorong suggested taking a tour of the villa. Of course, he didn’t do that to see the nice things, but mainly wanted to see the living environment of his younger brother. After all, it was also a kind of concern.
Only Chen Fang, Li Mingsi and Li Mingjie were left on the sofa. Li Mingjie stroked his chin, not knowing what he was thinking. Li Mingsi asked curiously, “Cousin, right…are you really that awesome?”
Chen Fang smiled and said, “Haha, I’m just lucky.”
Of course he wouldn’t admit that he had a cheat, and Li Mingsi looked like he didn’t believe it. But Chen Fang didn’t care, he could believe it or not.
When this woman learned that Li Yi was not her uncle’s biological son, she actually fell in love with Li Yi again. One can imagine how chaotic Li Mingsi’s private life is.
Fortunately, Chen Fang’s mother and Li Guokai are siblings, otherwise, something might happen.
Li Mingjie said, “Luck is also a part of strength. How about Chen Fang? Have you thought about buying a property in Hong Kong recently?”
He owns a real estate development company, but it is just starting out and to put it bluntly is just a shell company. Now he is ready to start selling houses.
Chen Fang pretended to say, “I haven’t thought about buying a house yet. Mingjie, do you have any ideas?”
“Well, let’s exchange cell phones so we can get in touch later.”
“Ok.”
Judging from Li Mingjie’s expression, he really wants to surpass Li Guokai, otherwise he wouldn’t come to solicit business at this time.
Li Mingjie is a restless man. He was originally the vice president of Rongkai Group, but he felt that Li Guokai was too steady and did not fit his business philosophy, so he set up his own business.
This is an adventurous person, but the result in the play is terrible. Not only did he lose all the startup capital given by Li Guokai, but he also ended up in debt.
Don’t you think about how shrewd a businessman your father Li Guokai is? How could he be inferior to you who hasn’t even grown all his hair?
Li Mingsi pouted her lips and thought to herself that her second brother was just like their father, always talking about business when he got home. She just felt that Li Guokai cared very little about her, otherwise how could he become the Queen of the Sea?
Chen Fang said that Li Mingsi was just bored. He simply suspended all her credit cards and forced her to go out to make a living so that she would realize how difficult life is.
Li Guokai took Li Guorong on a tour of the villa, during which he talked about Li Yi.
“Brother, I found out that Li Yi seems to be working in a cleaning company. How about I invite him over now so that we can have a reunion dinner together?”
“This… Let’s forget it. We’ll talk about it next time.”
Although Li Guorong wanted to agree, he thought of Li Yi’s sudden departure and did not ask his son to come over. He was also very disappointed that Li Yi went to work as a cleaner.
“Okay, big brother, this is the address where Li Yi works……”
“Well, I see.”
Li Guorong nodded and accepted his brother’s business card. He then continued to tour the villa, but his mood was not as good as before.
Li Guokai also noticed it. Fortunately, it was about time for dinner, so the two of them returned to the living room downstairs.
Zhang Shuyuan asked: “Brother, dinner is coming soon. I have ordered steak at the best restaurant in Hong Kong. Let’s get ready and go…”
Speaking of this woman, Zhang Shuyuan, she really respected Leslie Cheung and used what she thought was the best to entertain him.
“Hey, now that we’re home, we won’t go out to eat. Just eat something at home.”
“But…..”
Zhang Shuyuan wanted to say something, but Li Guokai said, “Brother, if you want to eat at home, then let’s eat at home. Brother likes to be in a lively atmosphere.”
Although he asked the housekeeper to go down and prepare, Li Guorong nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his younger brother respected his opinion very much.
Li Guokai looked at his nephew who was chatting with a few people and said, “Chen Fang, don’t be polite when you come to our house. Just tell me if you need anything.”
“Yes, Second Uncle, I know.”
……….
Half an hour later, the chef prepared the meal, but Li Guorong felt very strange when he saw the piles of dishes on the table… because there was a pile in front of each person.
Then Li Guokai and herself put their dishes together. Zhang Shuyuan saw his doubts and said, “Well, brother, I am a vegetarian and don’t eat meat… Although my dishes are placed here separately.”
Li Mingjie also explained: “Uncle, I have to go out for social events every day, and my health is not good, so I asked the nutritionist to prepare a nutritious meal for me…”
Li Mingsi wanted to say something but was interrupted by Li Guorong: “I know what you mean. Mingsi must like the romance of France, the gentlemen of Britain and the art of the Netherlands…”
Chen Fang was secretly complaining when he saw this family. He was afraid that Li Guorong was regretting it. He should have gone out to eat earlier. What’s the difference between eating separately and eating outside?
“Hey, there are so many dishes, are we just going to eat them alone? Haha, come on Guo Kai, Chen Fang, let’s eat together.”
“Okay, big brother.”
“Okay, uncle.”
Li Guokai was a little embarrassed. He also found the problem. If the family had to eat separately, it would be better to separate. Speaking of which, the two meals they had in Beijing were really humane.
Then he raised his glass and said, “Come on, Chen Fang, and you guys… Let’s all toast to Big Brother first.”
“Brother/Uncle, welcome.”
“thank you all.”
At this moment, Li Guorong was happy and no longer thought about those trivial things. Isn’t this the moment that family reunion is all about?
Chen Fang tasted the dishes and found that they were as delicious as those in a star hotel. He guessed that the Li family must have hired a special chef.
Chapter 625: Angry at the Queen of the Sea “Li Mingsi”.
Not to mention hiring a chef, even buying a hotel is a small matter.
The Li family in the play is a bit like the top ten families in Hong Kong, but its ability to resist risks is still a bit lacking, probably because it has no allies.
“Hong Kong has returned. We two brothers are finally reunited in Hong Kong.”
Li Guokai poured wine for Li Guorong while talking. After the wine was full, he was ready to pour wine for Chen Fang. Of course, Chen Fang refused: “Second uncle, let me do it. It’s not right for an elder like you to pour wine for me.”
“Okay, come on your own. Don’t be polite when you come to my place.”
“Ah.”
Li Guorong looked at the wine in his glass and said with some emotion: “It’s good to be reunited, plus Hong Kong’s return, it’s a double happiness.”
“When I was watching it on TV, especially the live broadcast, I was very excited… It’s been 100 years, it’s not easy.”
Li Guorong lived through the war-torn era, and he has deep feelings about the scene of the country being destroyed and the family being ruined, especially today when the motherland is gradually becoming stronger.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mingsi said: “Of course you are excited. Hong Kong is a treasure, and the mainland has long wanted to return.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Guorong’s face changed, and the same went for Li Guokai. Why did their daughter speak to her eldest brother like that? Why did her tone sound so contemptuous?
“Cousin, I have to say something to you. This is not a matter of whether it is precious or not. Hong Kong has been our country’s land since ancient times. It was the British devils who took Hong Kong away a hundred years ago… Although Hong Kong has just been returned to us, this is the time when Hong Kong people are truly in charge.”
Li Mingsi felt that Chen Fang’s words were wrong, and curled his lips and said, “Make your own decision? It was the same when the governor was here before. Hong Kong is still like this.”
“That’s because you live in the Li family and have superior conditions. Go and see ordinary people outside. When the British were here, did they have human rights? Of course, you may not believe this. Then ask your second uncle what it was like when he started his business.”
After Chen Fang finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Guokai. He didn’t expect his nephew to have such a vision. He glared at his daughter and said, “Mingsi, your cousin is right. When the British were here, we didn’t have any rights. Your father… at that time, who took us Chinese entrepreneurs seriously…”
When talking about the hardships of starting a business, Li Guokai became more and more excited, and his eyes even became red.
Li Guorong didn’t expect his brother to have such a hard life, and he sighed secretly.
“It’s so good to have “one country, two systems” now. We Hong Kong people can be the masters of our own house…”
After hearing this, Li Mingsi became excited again: “I think this is wrong. If it remains unchanged for 50 years, it must be because they want our generation of Hong Kong people to be gone. Then they can change it however they want. By then, who will remember how free and happy Hong Kong was back then?”
Chen Fang thought that Li Mingsi was an idiot. He actually believed in Western freedom. The neighboring countries also listened to the so-called freedom, and now look at what they have become.
From being a world power, it has in turn become a second-rate country. If it were not for its military advantage, few people would remember it.
Freedom is relative. Where does absolute freedom come from? What nonsense is this?
“Freedom? That’s just your wishful thinking. There has never been any absolute freedom. Hong Kong’s achievements today are inseparable from the support of the mainland…”
Li Mingsi seemed to have grasped something: “Cousin, what you said is not right. Hong Kong has just returned to China, how can it rely on the support of the mainland?”
“Hong Kong’s finance, trade and shipping, which one is not supported by the mainland… Haha, if the mainland didn’t exist, Hong Kong wouldn’t even have tap water now, right?”
The tap water in Hong Kong comes from the mainland, which was supported by great men at the beginning, because the people in Hong Kong are our relatives.
Li Mingsi obviously didn’t believe it: “How could Xiangjiang not even have tap water…”
Because she knew nothing about finance, trade and shipping, she could only refute based on the facts. Li Mingsi was busy flirting with men and being a sea queen every day, and then shopping and dressing herself up. She had no time to study.
Li Mingjie adjusted his glasses and said, “The tap water in Hong Kong does come from the mainland. Hong Kong is all seawater, there is no water source at all…”
I thought that this sister was just this little bit capable and didn’t know how to refute others. In her opinion, Hong Kong seemed to be omnipotent.
Li Mingsi was speechless and could only lower his head angrily.
………
Zhang Shuyuan slapped the table and said, “Mingsi, apologize to your uncle right away, as well as your father and your cousin.”
She has been with Li Guokai in starting a business, so she naturally knows the hardships involved. Why has her daughter become like this now?
Seeing that his parents were really angry, Li Mingsi could only stand up and say, “Uncle, I’m sorry… Dad, I’m sorry… Cousin, I’m sorry…”
When Chen Fang was watching the drama, he didn’t have a good impression of this woman. If this woman is not well educated, she will probably become one of those “troublemakers” in the future.
Oh, that’s not right… According to Li Mingsi’s conditions, he may not take part in the battle personally. He is probably providing funds behind the scenes… By that time, Li Guokai may have been dead, and the Li family would have been completely humiliated.
“Okay, Mingsi, your cousin is right. This is a question of national dignity. I hope you can learn from it in the future…”
Li Guorong did not say much, thinking that his niece just spoke too quickly and that he would let her younger brother educate her properly in the future.
“Well, big brother is right. Mingsi, you should change for the better in the future…”
“Got it, Dad.”
After saying that, Li Mingsi prepared to get up and leave. He had just lost so much face, what was the point of staying here?
“Brother, the kids are ignorant, let’s continue drinking one.”
“Ah.”
Li Guokai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his elder brother was not angry. The two of them clinked their glasses. It was a good thing that Li Mingsi was not at the dinner table, as it would be quieter this way.
“Brother, how long do you plan to stay in Hong Kong this time?”
Li Guokai asked this question even though he knew the answer.
“It might take a while.”
“Then live at home, so everything will be more convenient.”
“No, the company has already arranged accommodation…”
At this time, Chen Fang spoke up and said, “Uncle, I think you should listen to Uncle. I don’t think you are high, so I won’t live there… The environment here is not bad, and it will be better for you to live there…”
“Yes, Chen Fang is right. Brother, just stay at home. We are brothers and we can talk more.”
“Okay then, just live at home.”
Li Guorong agreed, and Zhang Shuyuan immediately ordered someone to clean up the room. She was quite sensible, but she didn’t know how to educate Li Mingsi.
Li Mingjie asked at this time: “By the way, Chen Fang, what are you going to do next? Are you going to continue in the stock market?”
Just from Chen Fang’s conversation and his recent performance, he knew that this cousin was definitely a restless person, especially now that he had tens of millions of funds in his hands.
