A year later, the financial crisis came as expected. Although Li Xi did not have the ability to foresee, he made some preparations in advance when analyzing the market.
He focuses on the clothing industry, followed by the food industry. In order to achieve the goal of making Yuan Chu's food and clothing worry-free, he had very strict requirements on clothing grade and food quality. The clothes he originally wore were all unique styles specially designed by a master, and the food was also based on her taste.
Yuanchu knew the future direction well and knew what was popular. He invisibly guided Li Xi in the direction and gained a good reputation, allowing him to gain a firm foothold in the financial crisis.
"Chu Chu, I'll cover all your clothes from 10 to 100 years old." Li Xi was not obsessed with money, but he was very persistent in his love for Yuan Chu. As long as it makes her happy, he is willing to do it. Others usually only give gifts on certain special days, but once he gives them, they last a lifetime and are guaranteed to last a lifetime.
According to the development trajectory predicted by Yuan Chu, Li Xi should first engage in real estate, then enter the financial industry and impact the electronics industry. Now it's completely different. He started to start an industry conscientiously.
In addition, he also invested in Grandpa Li’s Kangdes Research Medical Center to support the research of medical projects.
The poisonous gas leak accident a few years ago shocked the world, and almost no one who was poisoned survived. However, this medical team not only saved Li Xi's life, but also developed several powerful antidotes. As long as they pass the review and apply for patents, they can be used. can be put on the market. This matter has not been made public, but some upper-level people are very concerned about it and have given great support and convenience.
Li Xi seems to be unruly, but in fact he is calm and steady, with a long-term vision and does not care about short-term gains and losses. While other people of the same age are still squandering their youth, he has already begun to make waves.
Everyone in the Li family only focused on fighting for power and profit. Under the impact of the financial crisis, their total assets shrank by 30%, and they had to lay off employees on a large scale, which severely reduced their credit. They didn't know that although Grandpa Li didn't take care of things very much, the connections and prestige he had accumulated over the years were all handed over to Li Xi, and the outside world only recognized Li Xi's identity and status.
Li Tian was in trouble, but Li Xi went against the trend, accumulated a lot of experience, and showed amazing business talents at a young age. But on the contrary, he inevitably neglected his physical health.
On this day, Yuan Chu was reading in the classroom when he suddenly felt something and frowned slightly. Then he called his aunt at home and asked her to make a cup of Radix Pseudostellariae and Lily Lean Meat Soup and send it to school.
After school, she took the soup sent by her aunt and went straight to Qingdao University.
In the public classroom, Li Xi was sitting by the window, holding a tablet to check the plan sent by his subordinates. His soft hair hung in front of his forehead, swaying gently in the wind. The focused profile is like a statue, timeless and sharp, making it difficult for people to get close to him. Some people are naturally outstanding and can attract the attention of countless people without extraneous expressions and movements.
Li Xi's face was stern, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem.
At this moment, a thermos flask suddenly appeared in front of him, interrupting his thoughts.
He raised his head displeasedly, but smiled the moment he saw the visitor. His deep eyes were as bright as the sunshine after the rain, dazzling.
Everyone around him who was paying attention to him was blinded by his smile.
"Chuchu, why are you here?" Li Zhan put down the tablet in his hand, pulled Yuanchu to his side and sat down.
Yuan Chu stared at him for a while and said calmly: "Did you catch a cold?"
"Huh?" Li Xi was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
If he hadn't been sure that he had a cold, he might have been laughed at by his poor acting. This guy didn't even notice he had a cold, and he thought he was "pretending to be sick." This is also a sequelae of medication, a slow response to the disease.
First close the open window and pour the hot soup out of the thermos.
"Drink it, it will benefit your lungs and promote body fluids."
Li Xi smiled: "Chuchu came here specially to deliver soup to me today?"
"Yeah." Yuan Chu skillfully took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened the notepad, and typed something.
Li Xi drank the soup and leaned over to take a look. What is recorded above is what to pay attention to in the next few days, what to eat in the morning, noon and evening, what not to do, when to go to bed, etc., and reminders are also set.
After finishing it, Yuanchu handed him another mask and warned: "Starting from tomorrow, you must wear a mask when going out."
Li Xi's body has low immunity and a certain degree of resistance to drugs. Once he gets sick, it will be difficult to recover and he must take good care of himself.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Seeing Yuan Chu's seriousness, Li Xi stopped pretending to be pitiful. He hadn't realized that he was really sick.
Yuanchu didn’t explain it, he just predicted: “You will definitely not sleep well tonight.”
"As long as you stay with me, I will definitely sleep well." Li Han immediately climbed up the pole.
"Really? Okay." Yuanchu gave him a look of understanding.
Li Xi drank the soup happily, then packed up and went home with Yuanchu.
At night, a violent coughing sound came from Li Xi's room.
"Cough cough cough..."
Someone who categorically said that he must have slept well leaned against the bedside weakly, coughing until the sky was dark.
Yuan Chu fed him medicine, and then made him a bowl of silver shell and snow pear soup.
Li Xi lay on his side on the pillow, looking at Yuanchu with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Chuchu, I feel so uncomfortable."
In the past, in the hospital, he never showed any weakness even if he was in excruciating pain. Now, he is extremely pitiful for a small cold. He is really squeamish.
"It'll be fine in a while." Yuan Chu helped him calm down, his voice as gentle as coaxing a child.
"What should I do if it doesn't get better?" Li Zhi held Nuan Baobao in his hands, his eyes were wet, where could he still be mature and steady during the day
"It'll be fine." Yuan Chu patiently reassured.
"Will you stay with me?"
"meeting."
Li Xi thought for a while and then changed his words: "It's better not to do it. It will infect you with the disease."
"I'm wearing a mask." Yuan Chu poked his face, "It's foolproof."
"That's good." Li Han's eyebrows immediately relaxed, as if he was relieved. In his career, he was vigorous and resolute. In life, he is still a baby. A height of over 180 centimeters, compared to Yuan Yu, who is 1.3 meters tall, he is just a decoration.
After struggling for most of the night, it was not until two o'clock in the morning that the coughing gradually stopped. Li Xi blinked his sore eyes and murmured: "I still have a few emails to reply to today..."
"It will be the same tomorrow." Yuanchu patted the quilt gently, "Go to sleep."
Li Xi slowly closed his eyes, and within a moment he heard the sound of steady breathing.
At this moment, there was a deliberately low knock on the door.
Yuanchu opened the door and saw Grandpa Li standing at the door with a cane. He poked his head inside and asked in a low voice, "Is he okay?"
"It's okay, I'm already asleep."
"That's good," Grandpa Li breathed a sigh of relief, "You should go to bed quickly. I'll let the servants take care of him."
"I promised to accompany him. Grandpa, go to bed, don't worry."
"Okay, I'm going to bed first. Don't be too hard. Just call the servant if you need anything."
"Okay, thank you grandpa."
After closing the door, Yuanchu went back to bed. As soon as he lifted the quilt, he saw that Li Xi had opened his eyes at some point, and his dark eyes sparkled under the light of the desk lamp.
"Did I disturb you?" Yuan Chu got into the warm quilt, only his small head exposed.
"I thought you left." There was suddenly an empty space around him, and Li Xi felt it very clearly.
"I said I would accompany you."
"Yeah." Li Xi tilted his head and leaned weakly on Yuan Chu's thin shoulder.
The soft light shines on the two of them, forming a small world that belongs to them alone.
Wherever your heart is, that's where you'll find peace. For Li Xi, Yuan is a place of belonging that allows him to let go of all his defenses, regardless of age.
The next day, Yuanchu sent Li Xi to school and told him to check his notepad and not forget to take medicine.
"Yeah." Li Zhan wore a mask and nodded seriously.
"Don't eat in the cafeteria at noon, I will bring you food."
"Yeah." Li Xi frowned slightly.
"Don't sit by the window, don't let the wind blow outside."
"Uh-huh."
"Call me if anything happens."
"Uh-huh."
"Okay, let's go to school."
"Yeah."
The driver and bodyguard sitting in the front row looked at the two faces that were also wearing masks and listened to their ordinary conversation, and felt a sense of dislocation and confusion.
Mr. Li, where is your image? Do you want more? Who is the child? ?
Li Zhan kissed Yuanchu on the face, then opened the door and got out of the car.
The moment he stepped out of the car door, he turned back into that stern young man, with a tall and straight posture, sharp eyes, and steady steps. It was the mask with a rabbit on his face that ruined the style of the painting.
During Li Xi's illness, he did not dare to let down his guard at first.
In the next two days, his aunt may come to see him. In order to invest in a project, she needs large sums of money. But that's not the point. The point is that she played wildly in nightclubs for several days and carried germs on her body. If Li Xi is unprepared, he will inevitably get infected, the cold will become worse, and a minor illness will turn into a serious illness, leading to various complications.
Yuan Chu didn't want Li Zhan to suffer from illness again, so she wanted to take precautions in advance.
The next day, Li Wenhong contacted Li Xi one day earlier than originally expected and asked him to go to a restaurant for dinner tomorrow night.
She did not go to the old man immediately, but gave priority to Li Han, her younger nephew who should be easier to coax.
"Do we have to go?" Yuan Chu asked.
"If I don't go this time, she will definitely come to me again." Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "It's better to solve it as soon as possible, so that she won't disturb grandpa."
This matter was the same as asking him to accept new drugs a few years ago. It was a node in his life, and Yuan Yu could not directly interfere with his decision.
"Can you take me with you?"
"Of course." Li Xi wished he could carry her with him anytime and anywhere.
However, Yuan didn't want Li Xi and Li Wenhong to meet, so she had a way to solve it once and for all.
That afternoon, Yuan Chu used the excuse of going to the mall to buy things and asked the driver to drop her near Li Wenhong's hotel, creating an opportunity for her to discover him.
As expected, Li Wenhong, who "accidentally" caught a glimpse of the original, stopped her.
"You are the little girl Li Xi brought back from the hospital, right?" Li Wenhong smelled of alcohol and looked her up and down with a haughty expression.
"Yes." Yuan Chu didn't wear a mask and allowed the germs on her body to infect herself.
"You're pretty good at coaxing both my father and Li Xi into submission." Li Wenhong covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a hint of disgust, "With the Li family's financial resources, we can still afford to support one person, but you Remember who you are and don’t dream of things that don’t belong to you.”
Original: "Oh."
After calculating the degree of bacterial infection and confirming that she would be sick at night, she stopped talking to her and turned to leave.
"I haven't finished what I said." Li Wenhong stopped her and said in a bad tone, "You are so arrogant at a young age, and you will not be able to go to heaven in the future? I must remind Li Xi carefully to avoid being deceived by an outsider."
Normally, Li Wenhong would not be so arrogant, but she just participated in a drinking party and drank a lot of wine. Under the stimulation of alcohol, she spoke uncontrollably.
"It's getting late, I have to go home for dinner."
"Go back to 'home'?" Li Wenhong sneered, "Is that your home? You are just an orphan living under someone else's roof. Do you really think you are the young lady of the Li family?"
Yuanchu glanced at her lightly, then looked at the bodyguard behind him.
The bodyguard reacted quickly, took a step forward, and protected Yuanchu as he walked towards the parking lot.
"Stop!"
When Yuan first heard the footsteps behind him, he flicked his fingers slightly, and then he heard an "ouch" sound coming from behind him. Li Wenhong's feet stumbled and he fell to the ground.
Yuan Chu didn't even look back and walked away slowly.
