A well-known formal wear store in Wushui.
The gowns on display in the showroom are copyrighted by designers from various countries, and come in all kinds of designs, including Chinese embroidery, French lace and tulle, and Italian hand-beaded designs, making it a dazzling sight.
"Mr. Li."
The shop assistant, all smiles, pushed a clothes hanger out from behind the display shelf.
Two well-tailored suits were hanging above.
One is a fresh and elegant light blue, while the other is a deep and dignified dark blue.
"Your custom-made suit is finished. The craftsmanship and details have been handled according to your requirements. Please take a look."
When did you order this...? It was so fast!
Gu Xinglan was still a little stunned when she took the clothes.
"Give it a try first." Li Hetai patted him on the shoulder.
The cut is great, and the clothes fit perfectly; it's almost like they were tailor-made.
Gu Xinglan stood in front of the dressing mirror.
He adjusted his cuffs slightly with both hands, while Li Hetai helped him straighten his collar.
"How are you feeling? Is there anything that hurts?"
"Comfortable and fits well." Gu Xinglan picked up the tie and quickly tied it.
"This outfit also comes with a bow tie, would you like to try it on?"
A dark blue bow tie.
It looks like it's part of the same set as the one worn by Li Hetai.
Ke Li and Tai cast glances at him, their gazes carrying an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
"Let me try."
The person in the light blue suit stood slightly in front of the mirror. The figure was slender, and the delicate light blue fabric shimmered with a soft light, which made the skin look fair and jade-like, exuding an innate nobility.
Especially her face, which held a perfectly timed smile.
Li Hetai couldn't take his eyes off the waiter, so he waved to the side to signal him to move aside. The waiter, receiving the signal, quickly bowed and left.
The two lingered in the dress shop for more than half an hour. By the time they came out, it was already dark. After having dinner and taking a walk, Li Hetai received a phone call.
“My father told me to go over there.”
"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll take a taxi back myself."
"Remember to text me when you get back."
Gu Xinglan nodded.
“Wait a minute.” Li Hetai tugged at his sleeve.
"Could you... hug me?"
He received a look from Gu Xinglan.
Li Hetai said, "I've been very tired lately, especially today. If you can encourage me, I'll be fully recharged right now."
His voice was a little hoarse, and Li Hetai's expression was somewhat strained; even his smile seemed forced, as if he had hesitated for a long time before asking the question.
What a big deal.
Gu Xinglan grabbed the person, hugged them, and patted their back.
"Are you fully recovered?"
He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
Li Hetai's fingers seemed to be digging into his back through his clothes, and he felt as if his feet were about to leave the ground while being hugged.
"Let go, let go, I can't breathe."
As soon as the words were spoken, the hug broke as if a string had been snapped, and the embrace quickly came to an end.
"Thank you. I'll be back tonight. You don't need to wait for me; you can go to sleep first." Before driving off, Li Hetai looked longingly at the people outside the car window.
"Bye bye."
Gu Xinglan watched the black Cayenne drive onto the road.
Come to think of it, the original owner of this body never had a driver's license.
He needs to find a day to take a driving test so he can drive Li Hetai's car.
Once the inspection team arrives and there are no issues, the signing ceremony can proceed after everything is finalized.
The Li family had a sure thing about getting the local project, and the other major families in Wushui were already deflated, with no energy left to compete with them.
Nine in the morning.
Reporters were walking around the square, and when the vans drove by, the sound of camera shutters went off like crazy.
Both parties solemnly signed their names in front of the camera.
The banquet began promptly at 5 p.m.
Li Hetai was wearing a dark blue suit, and Gu Xinglan was standing next to him.
Gu Xinglan occasionally turned her gaze to survey her surroundings.
He was actually excited yesterday.
I didn't fall asleep until 2 a.m.
"Are you nervous?" Gu Xinglan asked the person next to her.
"Signing the agreement in the morning is the most nerve-wracking time." Li Hetai took the waiter's wine glass and handed it to Gu Xinglan. "I'm nervous now too."
nervous?
He couldn't detect any tension in Li Hetai's micro-expressions; in fact, he appeared relaxed.
However... if the nervousness that Li Hetai mentioned refers to frequently encountering beautiful women...
Because Li Hetai is the heir of the Li family, and he helped the Li Group secure local projects.
Before ten minutes had passed, a portly middle-aged man walked over with a graceful young woman.
"Young Master Li, I have long admired your name."
The portly man nudged his daughter and said with a smile, "You helped the Li family secure this project, which is something we in the industry can only dream of. You are truly a force to be reckoned with!"
"You flatter me. We were able to secure the project thanks to the support of all parties."
Li Hetai raised his hand and tilted his wine glass slightly upward.
Although they are not of the same generation, they are not much different in terms of presence.
The portly middle-aged man was a little embarrassed. Seeing his daughter standing there dumbfounded, not even bothering to greet him, he quickly said with an awkward smile, "This is my daughter. She has always admired your deeds. Today she finally meets you in person, so I thought I'd bring her here to introduce her to you."
Gu Xinglan, who was standing to the side, took a sip of wine from her glass, her gaze wandering aimlessly.
When they met the gaze that Li Hetai was casting.
Why are you looking at him? It's not like you're looking for him.
Gu Xinglan turned her head away.
"Sorry, I have other things to attend to here."
Li Hetai gave an official smile and left with Gu Xinglan in his arms.
"Hey, Young Master Li! Young Master Li!"
The people behind shouted all the way, but in the end they could only stop reluctantly.
As a result, when the two arrived at a new place, new people came looking for them.
"Young Master Li, this local project was so difficult to tackle, but you managed to secure it smoothly. You truly deserve to be the future leader of the Li family."
After flattering him, the middle-aged man pulled out a beautiful young woman.
"Hello, Brother Li!"
Her sweet voice, paired with two small dimples, would easily captivate anyone with weak willpower.
The middle-aged man chuckled, "We'll have to rely on you a lot in the future. Please help us small companies. My daughter has always hoped to communicate with someone as outstanding as you. Today, her wish has finally come true."
"Yes, Brother Li is so amazing..."
Two grape-like eyes slid over Li Hetai, watery and glistening.
Gu Xinglan stood behind, her face somewhat distorted.
When did his luck with women become so good?
Li Hetai, standing in front of him, glanced at him again, just like before.
He couldn't understand that look in her eyes. Was it like she was showing off? No, it definitely wasn't. In any case, she was observing his reaction.
Gu Xinglan turned her head away again and drank her wine.
As a result, the wine was all gone.
Here's a cup.
Li Hetai left the middle-aged man aside, lowered his eyes, and handed him a wine glass.
The clear, slightly yellow champagne exudes the fragrance of grapes.
Gu Xinglan subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man.
Whether Li Hetai did it intentionally or unintentionally, he should have responded to the middle-aged man first, but after taking the wine, Li Hetai showed no intention of replying.
He patted Li Hetai on the back lightly.
The man then said to the middle-aged man, "You flatter me. We were able to secure the project thanks to the support of all parties."
The same reply script used by robots.
The middle-aged man was humiliated, and his smile could barely be maintained.
"Sorry, I have to go." After saying that, Li Hetai put his arm around his shoulder and left.
The two went to the terrace and leaned against the railing.
A cool breeze swept by, dissipating some of the sweltering heat.
What's wrong with you just now? Are you in a bad mood?
In business, it's important to make as many friends as possible.
Li Hetai just showed that person absolutely no mercy.
“If every small company sends someone over with some trivial item, I have to deal with each one, which wastes everyone’s time.”
If something is valuable, use it; if it's not, get rid of it. This applies not only to Le Thai Ho, but also to Le Ho Thai now.
