Zhao Xianliang was a little uncomfortable facing Li Mu, and Li Mu was the same when facing Zhao Xianliang, feeling somewhat reserved.
Xie Yun invited Li Mu to sit down at the dining table. Li Mu subconsciously sat down near the door without leaning in. Zhao Ziqiu sat next to Li Mu without even thinking.
When Zhao Xianliang saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Xie Yun had no choice but to sit down next to Zhao Xianliang, found a topic, and asked Li Mu with a smile: "Li Mu, have you been to this restaurant before?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Auntie Xie, this is my first time in this restaurant."
Xie Yun patted Zhao Xianliang's arm gently and said: "This hotel is definitely the best hotel in Hangzhou, no one else. Your Uncle Zhao knew you were coming, so he specially booked this hotel to welcome you. "
Zhao Xianliang wanted to ask her: "Why did I order it specifically? Didn't you order it?"
But Xie Yun knew that something was wrong with him, so she patted his arm gently with her hand and kept touching him with her leg underneath to remind him not to talk nonsense.
This has been a tacit understanding between the couple for many years. Zhao Xianliang immediately understood what was going on and did not say anything nonsense. He just moved the tableware in front of him and said to Li Mu with a smile: "The food here is quite good. I I’ve ordered a few cold dishes and we’ll eat them first. I’ll ask the waiter to bring out the hot dishes later. If there’s anything that doesn’t suit your taste, I’ll call the waiter over later and you can order again.”
Li Mu said hurriedly: "Thank you, uncle, you are so kind."
Zhao Xianliang hummed, and Xie Yun on the side smiled and said, "Would you two like to have a drink?"
Zhao Xianliang said: "Li Mu just got off the plane and was tired from traveling. I don't think I'll drink anymore."
Having said that, in fact, Zhao Xianliang doesn't want to drink at all. Although he wants to drink two drinks to relieve his worries, he can't drink with Li Mu. It is better to wait until he gets home after dinner, pour a glass of whiskey by himself, and add two pills. Drinking with ice is comfortable.
However, Xie Yun did not want to follow his wishes and said to Li Mu: "Li Mu, people here in Hangzhou love to drink rice wine. This hotel has a collection of Lao Kuaiji Mountain rice wine. I will ask them to get a jar later." , you can drink some with your Uncle Zhao, the rice wine is not high in content, and it is appetizing and nourishing."
How could Li Mu refuse? He immediately nodded and simply said "ok"
Although Zhao Xianliang was not very happy in his heart, he did not dare to refute her face after his wife had said it, so he could only nod his head in acquiescence.
So Xie Yun said to the waiter in the box: "First give us a jar to collect the old Kuaiji Mountain."
The waiter nodded and immediately went out to get the wine. Seeing this posture, Li Mu must have waited for the wine to arrive before eating, so he took out the gifts for Zhao Xianliang and Xie Yun from the backpack he carried with him.
When Xie Yun saw Li Mu actually taking out two gift boxes, she felt quite happy. She thought of bringing gifts to the two of them, which proved that Li Mu was very sensible and respected herself and her husband enough.
Li Mu took out the gift box and handed the box containing the Montblanc pen to Zhao Xianliang according to his memory. He said, "Uncle, I have prepared a small gift for you. It is not a sign of respect. I hope you like it."
Zhao Xianliang nodded, took the gift box, his expression softened somewhat, and said, "Thank you, thank you."
"It should be." Li Mu said, and handed another box containing Tiffany's top handmade diamond brooch to Xie Yun, and said: "Auntie, this is a small gift for you. I don't know what you like. Just bought some casually.”
Xie Yun was really happy. She took the gift box handed over by Li Mu with both hands and said with a smile on her face: "Thank you so much, Li Mu!"
As soon as Li Mu sat down, Zhao Ziqiu next to him saw that he no longer took out Li Mu's money, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and asked Li Mu: "Where is my gift? You have prepared gifts for my parents, so you haven't prepared them for me, right?" "
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "I prepared gifts for my uncle and aunt because as a junior, I cannot come empty-handed for the first time. We are not so particular, right?"
Zhao Ziqiu pursed his lips and said, "You two have to be particular too, I don't care, I want a gift too!"
Li Mu then said: "How about I wait until I return to Yanjing to buy it for you? If you are not happy, then I will take you out for a walk tomorrow and buy you whatever you like."
Zhao Ziqiu said angrily: "Huh? You really didn't buy me a gift?"
Li Mu nodded and said with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare anything for you this time..."
"I'm angry!" Zhao Ziqiu looked unhappy, and he didn't know whether he was really angry or just pretending.
At this moment, Li Mu saw that he had almost teased her, so he said, "I've bought a gift for you, but I can't give it to you yet."
Zhao Ziqiu's expression immediately changed from gloomy to clear, and he asked in surprise, "Really? Where is it?"
Li Mu said: "I can't give it to you now."
Zhao Ziqiu asked him: "When will you give it to me?"
Li Mu wanted to say that I would give it to you in the evening, but after thinking about it again, he still did not say this. Li Mu was not sure whether Zhao Ziqiu could live with him at night. If he said it so ambiguously in front of Zhao Ziqiu's parents, he might not be able to say it out loud. On the contrary, it will spoil the food.
So Li Mu changed his words and said, "I'll give it to you after dinner."
Zhao Ziqiu said: "You're not giving me toothpicks, why do you have to finish eating before giving them to me?"
Li Mu was helpless. At this time, Xie Yun said: "Zi Qiu, since Li Mu wants to give you a surprise, don't force him to ask. After dinner, please invite Li Mu to sit at home. After you get home, you can treat yourself well." Let’s see what gift Li Mu brought you.”
When Zhao Ziqiu heard this, he nodded immediately and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will wait a little longer."
Zhao Xianliang didn't want to invite Li Mu home, but after his wife said this, he couldn't say no and could only endure it silently in his heart.
The waiter brought rice wine and poured it for Li Mu and Zhao Xianliang. Xie Yun asked the waiter to pour half a cup for herself and Zhao Ziqiu. Then she picked up the wine glass and said to Li Mu: "Li Mu, you are a guest. You have come from afar. Let's all come together." Let’s have a drink and consider it as uncle, aunt, and Ziqiu welcome you and wash your hands.”
Li Mu hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for such warm hospitality."
The four of them clinked glasses, and Xie Yun started eating. Although Zhao Xianliang felt a little uncomfortable, he felt a little more comfortable with Xie Yun's active adjustment. Xie Yun took the initiative to chat with Li Mu, first asking Regarding the situation of Li Mu's parents, Li Mu talked about his parents' clothing business at home and their plans to build a brand clothing mall in the future. Xie Yun was quite surprised when she heard this.
"You are so accomplished now, but your parents are still doing business in your hometown? Why don't you go to Yanjing with you? Not only can you enjoy happiness, but you can also take care of your daily life."
Li Mu said: "My parents have finally found something that they are more interested in and can do well. I think it is better to let them do what they want to do. They are not very young and are not yet suitable to give up their pursuits." , hovering around me all day long."
Xie Yun nodded lightly: "That's true. Your parents should be about the same age as me and your Uncle Zhao. If you are completely idle now, you won't be able to stay for a long time."
Saying that, Xie Yun asked again: "Then what have you been busy with recently? Your Makino Technology seems to have not made any big new moves recently. Taobao has also been on the right track since the Brand Day. Are you personally operating Taobao?" logistics?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Taobao logistics is mainly handled by one of my senior brothers. Recently, I have been mainly preparing for some things that were discussed after Minister Zhen of the Economic and Trade Commission came to inspect."
Xie Yun asked with great interest: "Are you cooperating with the Economic and Trade Commission?"
Li Mu said: "Cooperation is not considered cooperation. I have raised some demands with Minister Zhen before, hoping that the government can give some real benefits to the Internet. It is best to develop a government subsidy promotion policy for computer sales, so that It can greatly promote the popularity of home computers in the country, and can also promote the development of the entire Internet in the country."
Xie Yun suddenly became interested and said, "What kind of promotion policy is it?"
Li Mu roughly talked about the policy plan for "computers entering the city". After Li Mu introduced the entire plan, both Xie Yun and Zhao Xianliang looked particularly surprised.
After a while, Xie Yun said: "Your Uncle Zhao and I have read the news about Minister Zhen's inspection on Taobao. However, the media did not report the closed-door symposium you had with Minister Zhen. Your Uncle Zhao and I are still discussing you." What kind of demands will you make to Minister Zhen? I originally thought that you would take this opportunity to provide more benefits to your own companies, but I didn’t expect that you would actually ask for favorable policies for the entire industry. It’s really amazing to have such an open mind.”
Although Zhao Xianliang didn't say anything, he agreed with what Xie Yun said in his heart. Li Mu's style was indeed incompatible with his age. Most businessmen did not have his style. They could obviously take advantage of this perfect opportunity. He wanted to get better and exclusive favorable policies to run faster. Unexpectedly, Li Mu asked for an undifferentiated favorable policy for the entire industry.
Li Mu said: "Actually, I am also a bit selfish. Makino Technology has invested in Shenzhou Computer, so I also hope that Shenzhou can get a chance to make rapid progress under this favorable policy."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Xianliang asked him subconsciously: "Have you invested in a computer manufacturing company? Are you going to develop into the physical manufacturing industry in the future?"
Since Zhao Xianliang first asked a private detective to investigate Li Mu's business situation, he has never paid attention to Li Mu's new business initiatives. It was only because of the rumors about Li Mu and Wei Lan that he focused his attention on As for Li Mu's private life, his private detective never found any problems in Li Mu's private life. However, this was also because the private detective he commissioned was frightened by Wang Yuanlang and did not dare to provoke Li Mu again.
During this period of time, apart from the news about Li Mu's business that Zhao Xianliang passively knew about in the news, he had not actively paid attention to it, nor had he asked a private detective to investigate it, so he did not know that Li Mu actually invested in computers. manufacturer.
Li Mu saw that Zhao Xianhao seemed to be very interested in this, so he explained in detail: "Uncle, this is how it is. My investment in Shenzhou is not to develop into the physical manufacturing industry. The main reason is to utilize Shenzhou and make it an engine for price reduction in the home computer industry. For my Internet business, the cheaper the computer, the larger the group of netizens will naturally be. If I can break through the price of home computers, that would be great."
