734 He clearly had the ability, but he let it go.

After hearing what she said, Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Aunt can come anytime.

Unless Li Yifei and the others ask us to, Edwards and I will stay in this yard and generally won't go out."

"My mother... I don't know either.

She will definitely call me before she comes.

If she comes, I'll tell you, just go with me to pick her up."

Chen Pingan pointed to the direction of the door, "I will clean up a room for you across the street, and you can sleep here when you need to rest occasionally.

In addition, do you need to buy some drawing paper, paints, brushes, etc. for you?

If you need a studio, it can be arranged quickly."

Lanxiang agreed quickly this time, "Okay, although I can't live here permanently, it's okay to rest occasionally."

"Can you cook?" Chen Pingan asked seriously.

"Yes, but it's very ordinary. I don't cook much."

Tsk tsk tsk, this scene is no different from the scene of an ordinary blind date.

The two asked and answered each other, not only smoothly but also no one felt wrong.

"Okay, I'll arrange a suite for you. You can rest inside and use it as a studio outside."

Chen Ping'an nodded to indicate that this was settled, and then asked: "Don't you think the relationship between you and me is progressing too fast?

I even feel that it's a little unreal."

Lan Xiang smiled slightly with her lips pursed. Although there was a blush on her face that represented shyness, her tone was quite calm.

"Birth, aging, illness, death, marriage and funerals are all normal, and I don't mind these.

I just think that you and I are very compatible, and I am also very compatible with you.

So I don't think there is anyone more suitable than you."

Chen Ping'an felt that his face was a little hot. The boy of two lives, this topic was really a bit difficult to follow.

"Well, you read a book, I also want to review..." He turned back to the table with his back to Lan Xiang.

He didn't see that Lan Xiang's mouth corners were slightly raised, and a hint of pride and smile flashed in her eyes.

The room was quiet again, except for the occasional sound of keyboards and flipping books, there was no other movement.

Occasionally, Lan Xiang would look up at the back, and then lower her head to read.

Chen Pingan was really reviewing the situation, not pretending.

Although he could do two things at the same time when he was working, he didn't think it was necessary to distract himself to talk to Lanxiang now.

Besides, it seemed that they would only talk when they had something to do, and they would be busy with their own things when they had nothing to do. He thought it was good this way.

No time was wasted.

Edwards drove out and came back more than an hour later.

He carried three cups of milk tea, smiled and gave one to Lanxiang, and then gave one to Chen Pingan.

Lanxiang thanked him and took it, but Chen Pingan just glanced at him and didn't take it.

He didn't drink this.

Lanxiang said that her mother would come when she had time, which was actually telling him that her mother would arrive in Beijing soon.

The time would probably not exceed a week.

No mother who was worried about her daughter's inability to get married would be able to resist going to see the man after knowing that her daughter had found a boyfriend.

There shouldn't be one.

Although he didn't think he needed to make any preparations, he didn't think he didn't need to prepare at all.

I just feel that I might be at a disadvantage when facing her mother...

Lanxiang is willing to marry, so why not marry her?

Feelings can be cultivated slowly. At least she doesn't feel used when she is with me now.

I even like Lanxiang a little.

This is also a new experience for me.

Should I invite my father and mother back?

He looked at Lanxiang, "Should I invite my parents over?"

He asked directly.

Edwards blinked and looked at him, with an expression that said, "Tell me what happened and what you two said."

Lanxiang held the milk tea, with a straw in her mouth, looking at him with big eyes.

Opening her mouth, the straw slipped from her lips, "...anything is fine."

"Okay," Chen Pingan looked at the time, "I'll tell them to come back before your mother comes to Beijing to make preparations."

Edwards probably understood something. He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He just picked up his phone and started typing frantically.

He wanted to tell Anna the news, and then let Anna tell Liu Qing.

The light pink in the air made him miss his wife and children.

…

Paris 49th District.

Huo Xiuwen walked out of the back street, followed by four bodyguards.

Boyang Construction now has only two shareholders, Chen Xiaolong has withdrawn.

Huo Shijun took all of Chen Xiaolong's shares because he returned to China.

Now, he is the largest shareholder of Boyang Construction.

With the strong support of Chen Shaoliang, the 49th District launched the second major transformation after the war.

Chen Shaoliang took the bottom and underworld route. Although the underworld does not have high requirements for houses, in addition to the site, they are also very interested in real estate that belongs to them.

This brought a lot of business to Boyang Construction, because the Chinese do not pay attention to working hours and there are no unions.

Boyang Construction Company does not need to abide by the so-called labor law here, they only recognize money.

As long as the money is settled in time, the working hours are more than eight hours a day, and some managers are willing to work 12 hours.

The workers work in shifts.

No matter when you go to inspect, there are a large number of workers working on the construction site.

The efficiency is naturally amazingly fast.

There is no cooperative relationship between the Chen family and Boyang Construction. This is Chen Pingan's request.

As the chairman of the district council, it is normal for Chen Shaoliang to deal with Boyang Construction.

Chen Xiaolong encouraged the underground forces to deepen cooperation with Boyang Construction.

For example, the demolition work is basically handed over to Boyang Construction.

Huo Xiuwen is very happy to have such an opportunity because he has the opportunity to make friends with the underground forces.

Chen Xiaolong watched coldly and never showed up.

Because of Chen Pingan, Huo Shijun called him, but he never answered once and hung up directly.

This made Huo Shijun very sad, but there was no way to change the current relationship between the Huo family and the Chen family.

Let alone her, the younger generation of the Chen family naturally listens to Chen Pingan.

Even Huo Xiuzhu and Huo Zhiqiang, the two generations of family heads, can do nothing about it.

Comparatively speaking, without violating the fundamental interests, Li Yifei is easier to talk to than Qian Jingming.

This is also related to the different content of their work.

People are always affected by the environment.

So Li Yifei was urged by Huo Xiuzhu several times, and finally made an appointment with Chen Pingan.

But neither he nor Huo Xiuzhu thought that Chen Pingan did not come alone.

Lanxiang suddenly appeared at the door of the box with Chen Pingan's arm.

At that moment, the color on Huo Xiuzhu's face disappeared instantly.

His calculations were completely useless.

He didn't even have the chance to speak now.

His eyes were fixed on Lanxiang's hand holding Chen Pingan's arm.

The weather was not very cold, but the temperature was still relatively low at night.

Lanxiang wore a black windbreaker and leaned against Chen Pingan, which made her lips and teeth look even more red.

The waiter led the two of them to the door of the box, knocked on the door, opened it, let them stand at the door and left.

Chen Pingan's smile paused when he saw Huo Xiuzhu, and then he smiled and said to Li Yifei who was sitting in the main seat:

"I thought it was Brother Li who invited us to dinner, but I didn't expect it was someone else.

Mr. Huo, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing recently?"

He took Lanxiang into the box, closed the door, and then took off his coat and handed it to Lanxiang.

Lanxiang hung up his clothes first, and then took off her windbreaker and hung it up.

Li Yifei had already walked over and stretched out his hand, "I have been busy with work these days, and I should have invited you to dinner a long time ago, but now it seems that I was presumptuous.

Is it not affecting your time alone..."

Huo Xiuzhu himself has no ability, so he can't blame anyone for this.

Chen Pingan is obviously with Lanxiang now, although he has some doubts, he can only hide them in his heart.

At least, he can't speak up for Huo Xiuzhu's request.

"How could that be? We have to eat anyway."

After the two shook hands, Li Yifei nodded to Lan Xiang and said, "Professor Lan, nice to meet you!"

Li Yifei knew her identity, which was not unusual. Lan Xiang nodded and sat down directly.

"This is Huo Xiuzhu, the current head of the Huo family. I believe you have met.

He has been to Dunhuang..."

Lan Xiang nodded and smiled at Huo Xiuzhu, "Hello, Mr. Huo!"

Huo Xiuzhu forced a smile, "Professor Lan, we meet again. I didn't introduce myself last time, but now we know each other."

Li Yifei looked at Chen Pingan and said, "I'm inviting you to dinner tonight. There's no one else."

Perhaps he had told her in advance. Not long after Chen Pingan and Lan Xiang arrived, the waiter knocked on the door and started serving the dishes.

Only one bottle of wine was served. Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I drove the car, so I'd better not drink. It's also good to eat some dishes and chat."

Lan Xiang sat quietly. Although she felt a little awkward, she knew very well the purpose of her presence here.

Li Yifei nodded, "Okay, then we won't drink."

Seeing that Chen Ping'an and Lanxiang were respectful on the surface, but actually didn't want to pay attention to Huo Xiuzhu, Li Yifei could only liven up the atmosphere himself.

When they were eating, they were really eating, and they didn't mention anything related to the Huo family.

They just thanked Chen Ping'an for teaching those people real skills.

Now the atmosphere there is very good.

When Chen Ping'an didn't come, there was still invisible competition between the two groups. Although there is competition now, it is completely benign.

For Lanxiang, he simply asked if she was used to being in the Academy of Fine Arts. If there was anything he needed help with, he would definitely not refuse.

The meal ended in less than 40 minutes. They didn't talk about anything, but they were full.

When Chen Ping'an and Lanxiang got up to say goodbye, Huo Xiuzhu was obviously a little absent-minded, and looked at Chen Ping'an with some resentment.

Chen Ping'an didn't take the initiative to say a word to him during the whole process, and didn't even ask how the cooperation he proposed was going so far.

As for the people from other families, he didn't ask if they were still in Beijing.

He suspected that Chen Pingan had called them and told them not to cooperate with the Huo family.

But only Chen Pingan knew that the result would be like this after he expressed his position in person that day.

Only the Huo family withdrew from the ranks of investors of Inpirvate, and the others are still there!

When there is money to be made and the amount is unimaginable, who would still be afraid of the Huo family?

It's not like Huo Xiuzhu really has any handle in his hand!

As for Li Yifei, they have never contacted each other.

Chen Pingan saw the whole thing clearly on the spot that day, so even if Huo Xiuzhu didn't say it now, he knew that they must have broken up.

The Ma family would never cooperate with Huo Zhiqiang.

What the Ma family feared was that the superiors would clean up their people scattered in various departments, rather than suppress them through policies in business.

And all the business behaviors of the other three, or Dacheng Investment, were legal and compliant.

There was no need to be afraid or hide, because the three companies were only cooperating in one enterprise of Dacheng Investment.

And the relationship with Chen Pingan was closer through the bond of Mao Peiyao.

From Li Yifei's point of view, these were not a big deal.

Even if he made a mistake, it didn't matter, because none of these people dared to challenge him, and he was not too embarrassed to say sorry.

As long as Chen Pingan could make concessions, nothing else mattered.

"When will you go over and give them some pointers next time?" Li Yifei sent him and Lanxiang out of the box and asked at the door.

Chen Pingan thought for a moment and said, "I've thought about this just now. I didn't hide anything from them. I can say that I told them all the skills I'm used to in trading without reservation.

And I believe they recorded it every time, so as long as they speed up the frequency of operation, practice more, and practice with real money, they will get results.

And, I personally suggest that they use their own money to practice.

This way, they won't be lucky when making decisions."

"I'll go there next week to see their situation, and then there's no need to go there again.

Whenever you need it, just call me.

I won't leave Beijing for the time being."

Li Yifei looked at Lanxiang and smiled and said, "You're together, very good, I believe this is acceptable to everyone.

Chen Pingan, you can call me if you have anything.

I still say that no matter what you ask for, I will try my best to help you do it."

Chen Pingan smiled and left with Lanxiang.

Li Yifei returned to the box, closed the door, and sighed.

"Xiuzhu, you've seen this, there's no chance to speak!

I think you should just give up."

Huo Xiuzhu forced a laugh, "It's okay, our Huo family doesn't have this blessing."

...

"I think you should say thank you to me!"

After getting in the car, Lanxiang said faintly.

Chen Ping'an followed suit, "Thank you. If you hadn't come tonight, I guess Li Yifei would have proposed something for the Huo family that I would never agree to.

Although I can't guess, seeing Huo Xiuzhu's face so ugly, I feel very happy."

"Is there a conflict between you?" Lanxiang asked curiously.

After Chen Ping'an started the car, he said, "It's not a conflict. He wants to use me to set up a trap, and use Li Yifei to pressure me, which makes me very unhappy."

Lanxiang didn't ask about the process and content in detail, but just nodded.

"Most of the time, the aristocratic families take advantage of the situation and use external conditions to achieve their goals.

And in the process, they should try not to offend anyone.

You have read my information. When I dealt with the Tang family, I used the power of various parties, but I did not take a penny. I gave it all to them...

It is precisely because of this reason that Huo Xiuzhu may think I am easy to talk to."

He said slowly while driving.

Lan Xiang listened quietly and looked at his profile.

"I just stopped cooperating with the Huo family, and I didn't even take action against him," Chen Pingan turned his head and looked at her at this time and said, "For the sake of my aunt, I have been very good to Huo Xiuzhu."

Lan Xiang nodded, "I can understand that the greatest deterrent is to lure but not to fire.

It's not that you can't do it, but you clearly have the strength, but you let it go lightly."
