Li Baoku's fortune started from loan sharking. It was initially led by Wang Hongjun. Later, Wang Hongjun went to Shanghai to develop and was replaced by Zhang Chengzhi. Because of debt collection, he chased a gambler on the road and ended up killing someone. As the boss, Zhang Chengzhi did not let his subordinates He took the blame and was sentenced to five years. In terms of seniority, it was Ermianpants’ turn to take charge. The first thing this guy did when he took over the company was to go ashore and clear his name. He stopped working as a loan shark and developed a real estate in a private factory with the loan. From then on, there was no stopping it.

In seven years, Baoku Real Estate took advantage of the rise of the national real estate industry to develop and grow, and Li Baoku became the richest man in the coal city with a net worth of billions. Now he is not yet forty years old, and his career is firmly entrenched in the coal city and radiates to the provincial capital. It can be said that he is very proud of his success.
The Baoku Real Estate Building located in the west of the city is one of the city's landmark buildings and a masterpiece of Baoku Real Estate's brand creation. It integrates functions such as a hotel, office building, and shopping mall. Different from those flashy and expensive ones that are full of debt, this is a private kingdom that completely belongs to Li Baoku.
Li Muye stood at the door and looked up. There was a huge advertising light box erected in the square in front of the building, and a promotional video about Baoku Real Estate was played repeatedly. Li Baoku, with his hair slicked back, stood on the mountain with his hands behind his hands, looking at the land under his feet. The shots of golf courses and large villa areas awakened some memories of Ono.
Many years ago, when Li Baoku was a young boy nicknamed Ermianpants, he once told Li Muye that his greatest wish in his life was to hear someone call his name and to kiss Meng Fanbing. Then Li Muye helped him realize this wish. From then on, all members of the gang had to call him Li Baoku. Li Muye was a bastard when he invited Meng Fanbing out to watch a movie, but arranged for Li Baoku to sit next to her. When she wasn't paying attention, he helped Li Baoku finish the job by forcefully pulling her head. wish.
Li Muye recalled the way Li Baoku shed tears of gratitude back then. In his own opinion, even if Li Baoku didn't care about his kindness, at least he shouldn't have any resentment towards Brother Xiaoye. But I don’t know that there is a kind of friendship that makes you think you are good, but in fact, others may not think so.
Nowadays, Li Baoku is not something anyone can see. When Li Muye walked into the building and asked the security guard about the location of Li Baoku's office, he immediately attracted the security guard's special attention. He looked at Brother Ono warily and then asked: "Who are you? What do you want to see us, Mr. Li? Do you have an appointment?"
Li Muye no longer looked so embarrassed. Lu Jianbo bought new clothes with him early in the morning, and went to the barber shop to tidy up his long hair. When the girl at the barber shop was cutting Brother Xiaoye's hair, she kept praising how good it was, so she was particularly reluctant to cut it. She just simply trimmed it and gave it a hairstyle that was more in line with her aesthetics. Done.
In the opinion of the security guard from Baoku Real Estate, this guy with long hair is a slut and doesn't look like a serious person, so he doesn't have a good attitude toward Brother Xiaoye.
"My name is Li Muye. Please tell me my name to the higher-ups. Li Baoku is my brother. You don't need to make an appointment to see him, right?"
The security guard was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly and said: "It turns out he is our former friend of Mr. Li." He picked up the walkie-talkie with ease and said: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, are you there? Please come down, there is someone here. He calls himself Li Muye and says he is Mr. Li's former brother. Please identify him." A response came from the intercom: "I'm Zhang Chengzhi. I know this person. Ask him to wait a moment and I'll be down right away."
Upon hearing this, the security guard immediately changed his face to a warm smile and let Li Muye into the rest area of the hall. He said, "Please wait a moment. Mr. Zhang from our security department will come down immediately. Mr. Li's time is precious, so it is difficult to see him." It must be arranged in advance by Mr. Zhang.”
The changes in Li Baoku are really big. It seems that it is not just a change in status. With such a big score, his temperament must also have changed a lot. Li Muye didn't care much about this. After sitting there and waiting for a while, he saw Zhang Chengzhi coming out of the elevator and trotting up to him. He took a careful look at it first, and then said with joy on his face: "Oh, I'll go, it's really you. Ah!" He stretched out his hands to shake hands with Li Muye.
Li Muye stood up and gave him a hug, saying, "Am I weird?"
"It's nothing strange. Just come back. Just come back." Zhang Chengzhi took Li Muye's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, let's talk to my office."
The two took the elevator upstairs. Zhang Chengzhi's office was on the 32nd floor. The building was 33 stories high. Zhang Chengzhi said that the entire 33rd floor was Li Baoku's exclusive area, which was a combination of office and leisure. The place of unity.
In the office, the two of them were sitting opposite each other on the sofa. Zhang Chengzhi first said: "Makino, it's been seven or eight years since we last met, right? Last time you came back from Russia, you gave your brothers a way to make money. After that, you I went to Shanghai to develop my career. I heard from Brother Jun that your career was so big for a while, but unfortunately later you got divorced and went bankrupt for some unknown reason?"
Li Muye couldn't remember this part at all, so he nodded in agreement and said, "We have all changed a lot over the years, Chengzhi, you have looked older these past few years."
Zhang Chengzhi sighed and said: "After five years of squatting on the fence, I didn't catch up with my father when he died of illness. When I went in, my wife was two months pregnant. When I came out, my son was already in kindergarten. I missed the most interesting five years like this." Now, I don’t have any ambitions anymore. I’m content with taking care of my family wholeheartedly.” Then he said: “Ordinarily you have experienced a bigger blow than me. Why do I think you haven’t aged at all?”
Li Muye said: "My mind is empty and I don't want to think about anything."
Zhang Chengzhi said: "I think you look really good, just like those kids in their twenties below. Standing together, we don't look like two brothers. If I remember correctly, we are only four points apart." About five years old.”
Li Muye said: "I forgot how old you are, but I remember that Li Baoku, the relegated king, is four years older than me."
Zhang Chengzhi said seriously: "Makino, there is something I need to tell you in advance. I just reported the news of your coming to Mr. Li. He is now upstairs talking about a film and television investment project. He will be down in a moment. , when we meet again, please don’t call him Li Baoku.”
"If we don't call him Li Baoku, why should we call him Ermianpants?" Li Muye asked with a narrow smile.
Zhang Chengzhi said seriously: "I'm not kidding you. You can't scream with these Er cotton pants, it might kill someone!" He then said: "Do you still remember Zhao Erqiu who used to play with us? Last year. , when we were eating at Xinfenglou, this guy drank too much and called out "Er Cotton Pants". On the spot, Mr. Li's Liaodong Immortal had his legs cut off with a gun. "Brother Xiaoye, things are different now. If you want to come, You're just making a living here, so remember not to talk to him like before."
"I don't mean that. I just came back to see my old friends and catch up on old times. I have no intention of staying here." Li Muye said, "But thank you for reminding me. I didn't expect that Li Baoku would change so much. He's so dark." Yes, you dare to shoot people in a hotel, but the police won’t care?”
"Who dares to take care of it? Besides, you can't take control of him." Zhang Chengzhi said: "His backstage is so tough now that even powerful forces as big as Mrs. Ji and Hongye Group can't touch him. Speaking of Come on, I can't help but want to say something to you. Hongye Group was founded by you, right? And your former best friend is now said to be the vice president of Longda Group and one of the major shareholders. What do you mean? If you got along well with others, how awesome would you be now? At least as good as Li Baoku."
"A good horse never turns back, so don't mention the past." Li Muye said: "Besides, I have lost my temper for a long time. I don't want to talk too much about the things between Wang Hongye and me. It's better to talk about other people, Wang Hongjun." Aren't you doing well in Shanghai? Why didn't you think of looking for him? "
"Brother Jun asked me to come over. I can't let go of the child." Zhang Chengzhi could no longer see any trace of the small landowner who dared to fight and fight, and said: "Besides, I heard that he did that A set is a bit like a pyramid scheme, you know... "
He was afraid of being dragged into the water by Wang Hongjun again.
Li Muye nodded understandingly and said, "Do you have Wang Hongjun's phone number?"
Zhang Chengzhi took out his mobile phone, found out Wang Hongjun's number and told it to Li Muye, and finally said: "Brother Jun is still nostalgic. If you don't have any burden now, you might as well go to him instead of staying here." After that, he sighed again. tone.
Although he said he was open-minded, in his heart he was obviously not satisfied with his current status and the changes in Li Baoku.
Li Muye thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Are you well-off now?"
Zhang Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to his desk, opened the drawer, took out a cigarette box, opened it, took out a stack of money, and said, "I still have some savings at home, so I can give it to your eldest nephew to go to the provincial capital." The expenses for the aristocratic elementary school are all in the hands of my wife. My brother, you only have this little private money, so you can take it all."
Li Muye took it in his hand unceremoniously and said, "I don't know when I can pay it back."
Zhang Chengzhi said: "I am not promising, but I still remember the word brother. Brother Xiaoye, you were so kind to me back then. I will never forget it for the rest of my life. If I give you this money, I don't expect you to repay it." .”
Fireworks in the world, the world is warm and cold.
At this moment, Brother Xiaoye's heart suddenly became warm.
Some things don't need to be remembered, and some things shouldn't be forgotten.
Li Muye suddenly realized that what he had lost was not just his memory, but also many important things worth cherishing.
The door of the office was suddenly pushed open. A thin man with a strong temperament and sunglasses opened the door and nodded to Zhang Chengzhi. Then he stepped aside and walked in. Li Baoku, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked in with great style. Holding a cigar in his hand, he stared at Li Muye as he entered the room and said, "Li Muye, you bastard, do I think I will never see you again in this life? Are you still alive, you little bastard?"
