20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2675: Losing Power is Worse than a Dog

In the afternoon, Zhao Changan went to the courtyard where Tang Shuang's grandparents lived, and Qi Li accompanied him throughout the trip.

"Xiao Shuang's grandparents used to live in the alley. They would only come here occasionally to stay for a few days, tidy up the garden, and then go back. But ever since the cell phone incident, they almost never go back to live in the alley. They say they don't have the face to do so and can't afford to lose face."

Qi Li drove Zhao Changan towards the West Mountain outside the city while explaining to him, "Actually, they are overthinking it. The second son's reputation has long been tarnished, but everyone knows that the old man always dotes on the second son and protects him, so they don't say it to his face."

Zhao Changan smiled after hearing this and did not take Qi Li's words to heart.

It was obvious that Qi Li was very dissatisfied with her second brother who was entangled with her husband.

The reason was very simple. Qi Daolong first got the project from Bian Changjiang, and then took the signed project to the bank to get a loan out of nothing. He then used the loaned money to buy equipment and materials, recruit people, and carry out the project.

This is tantamount to putting Bian Changjiang on the fire and on the edge of Qi Daolong's knife. Once the project goes wrong, Qi Daolong can just give up and run away with the money like his son Qi Peng, but her family will be really finished!

Qi Daolong made money to turn his life around, but he used Bian Changjiang as a scapegoat. If those unethical people were allowed to rent out this project, even if they could get a few hundred thousand in their pockets, it would be considered a humble act. But when it was given to Qi Daolong, let alone getting two dollars in his pocket, in Qi Li's opinion, he wouldn't even get a single hair. He was doing it purely for love.

Moreover, even if the project was successfully completed, it would not help Bian Changjiang's career at all, and he would even be accused of nepotism.

No matter how you look at it, Qi Li is almost fed up with Qi Daolong, this idiot. Now it's rumored that his company specifically recruits some pretty female college students as tools for lust. There are even boyfriends of female college students who come to the company and make a scene, which makes Qi Li extremely sick.

She is a well-known female doctor and a professor who teaches medical students. She is a germaphobe and is most disgusted, disgusted and wary of dirty things.

Having been a doctor for so many years, she has a deep understanding of the nature of men. They are all cats that like to steal fish. The only difference is the difference between those who have tasted it and those who have not. She is really afraid that the second child will lead her man astray.

My man is handsome and powerful. He is in his forties, which is the right time to pursue a career. He is tired of his wife at home and wants to have sex with a younger girl of 18 years old.

So no matter from which angle you look at the problem, Qi Li only has disgust towards Qi Daolong, and no good feelings towards him.

To put it bluntly, Qi Daolong was worthless at this time and was worse than a dog after losing his power.

Tang Shuang's grandparents, like Shan Lao, built a large vegetable garden in the large courtyard outside a two-story red brick building at the foot of the West Mountain.

Live a simple and natural rural life, working from sunrise to sunset and resting at sunset.

Various chrysanthemums are planted around the garden, in yellow, white, and pink, blooming in clusters beautifully in the autumn.

Using flowers to express his aspirations clearly shows that he wants to be like Tao Yuanming who, indifferent to worldly affairs, exiled to the Nanshan Mountains to pick chrysanthemums by the eastern hedge.

This nobleness alone was enough to make Zhao Changan admire her with awe. It was already the end of September, and tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and cabbages were growing in the garden.

The old stems and dragon-like vines grow wildly, just like the desires and ambitions that grow wildly and disorderly in the golden autumn season before the severe cold of winter comes.

Although there is no longer enough time and temperature to support the production of large and delicious late tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and cantaloupes.

However, because of frost and the temperature difference between day and night, these vegetables have a higher sugar content and are more delicious and refreshing.

Zhao Changan picked a small tomato and ate it. The sour, sweet, tender and sandy taste was simply amazing.

As to why they had not cleared and taken care of these plots of land, the two elders explained that it was because the season had reached the end of the harvest season, and even if they took better care of these plots of land, it would be impossible to produce big and good fruits.

The two elders have given up the management of these plots of land and are just waiting to harvest the last wave of delicious fruits before cleaning up the garden.

Seeing a young and strong laborer coming, the old couple Qi were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Before that, the old couple were still worrying about how to get these few dollars and pieces of land.

Ignoring Qi Li's repeated complaints, Old Qi directed Zhao Changan to clean up the garden, while Tang Shuang's grandmother and Qi Li, who was pouting, assisted Zhao Changan.

It took me an afternoon to clear these three plots of land in the garden. It was so refreshing to look at them.

"Dad, Mom, you are so real."

Qi Li looked at Zhao Changan who was covered in mud and didn't know how to blame them. "Do you know how much Changan is worth now? At least 20 billion! The richest man in China! The market value of the company he controls is almost 100 billion. Except for Sinopec, no other company in our domestic stock market has surpassed his. If it gets out that you ordered me to hoe the fields for an entire afternoon, people will praise you."

"Aunt, I am quite comfortable doing this job. My father and mother have told me many times that when we are old and retired, we will also open some land in the suburbs to grow vegetables. I am practicing in advance to accumulate experience for the future."

Zhao Changan smiled and said it was nothing.

“Food is the most important thing for the people. Even the richest people need to eat, but rich people should not be idle and ignorant. They should understand the suffering of the people and avoid making a big joke like the emperor asking the hungry people why they don’t eat meat!”

Old Qi scolded his daughter unhappily: "Why did I force you to study medicine in college and not let you study political science and economics? It's because you have been spoiled since childhood and think you are superior to others. Let people like you see the suffering of the people and have good intentions. Don't be so arrogant and divorced from the people. The older generation fought for the country and drove out Chiang Kai-shek so that the people would be the masters of the country, everyone would be equal, exploitation and oppression would be eliminated, everyone would have food to eat and not go hungry! It's not for you to think that you have a good father, so you can be superior and look down on the masses!"

Qi Li couldn't help but blush. If Zhao Changan hadn't come over, she really wouldn't have come here to suffer this punishment today.

  Every time she came back, her ears would be bombarded by her father's lecture. She was just a doctor and had a tiny say in the hospital. Why did others talk to her about these useless things?

If you have the guts, go tell the second brother. Don’t you see what he, his son, sister-in-law and the rest of the gang are doing?

Qi Peng is such a good child. When he was brought home as a child, he was so well-behaved, obedient and sensible. He would play with his younger siblings and would rush up to fight them when he saw them being bullied. But he was completely ruined in the hands of the second child.

After cleaning the yard for the entire afternoon, she was not only covered in mud, but also itchy all over.
