Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

No. 79 Deep Water Bay Road, this luxury house is like a paradise hidden in the bustling city. The towering walls isolate the noise from the outside world, leaving only the quiet atmosphere and occasional bird calls in the courtyard.

A family meeting was going on in the spacious living room of the mansion.

Brothers Li Zeju and Li Zekai and their wives sat around a classical mahogany table, on which was placed a set of exquisite tea sets, and the aroma of tea filled the room.

"I think Zixuan is a good kid."

Li Zeju spoke first. His voice was steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty. "Not only has he accomplished a great career at such a young age, but he is also quite mature and steady in his dealings with others. Although I have only met him twice, I think he is quite extraordinary."

Li Zekai nodded gently, expressing his agreement: "I have also been observing him. Zixuan is not only handsome, but also polite and considerate to Yan Ning."

Li Zeju's wife Wang Fuxin seemed a little hesitant: "He is indeed an excellent young man, but marriage is a big matter and needs to be considered carefully. We have to make sure that he is sincere to Yan Ning and has no other intentions."

"Of course I understand this." Li Zeju said, "But the influence of Heguang Technology in the mainland cannot be underestimated. If Zhao Zixuan can become our son-in-law, the Li family's position in the mainland will undoubtedly be more stable. This will be of great benefit to our future business development."

Li Zekai added: "Besides, I think Yan Ning also has a good impression of Zixuan. As parents, you should also consider your child's feelings."

Wang Fuxin pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Since you all say so, we can first learn more about Zixuan's personality and family style. If everything goes as we expect, this marriage is not a bad idea."

At this point, she turned to look at Li Zekai and asked, "Zekai, do you know what Zixuan's father does?"

Li Zekai hesitated for two seconds and said, "His father is Zhao Hui, also a businessman, but this Zhao Hui seems to be a son-in-law who married into the family. When Zixuan was two years old, Zhao Hui divorced Wu Xianglian and then married into a family with the surname Lin. The relationship is a bit complicated."

After hearing this, Wang Fuxin frowned slightly, revealing a little worry: "Will such a family background affect Yan Ning's future? We must make sure Yan Ning will not be harmed by this."

Li Zeju waved his hand, signaling Wang Fuxin to stay calm: "Ah Xin, I understand your concerns. But I think Zixuan's own qualities and abilities are the most important. He grew up in a complicated family and still excelled, which just shows that he has perseverance and wisdom beyond ordinary people. We can't generalize just because of his family background."

Li Zekai also agreed, "Brother is right. Moreover, as far as I know, Zixuan and his father are not close. He has relied more on his own efforts and talents to get to where he is today. When we evaluate a person, we should still look at his performance instead of being overly obsessed with his family background."

After listening to his two brothers, Wang Fuxin's worries were slightly alleviated.

She sighed and said, "Well, since you all say so, I will observe it for a while. However, we still have to be careful, after all, marriage is not a joke."

Li Zeju nodded: "Of course. I will send someone to learn more about Zixuan, and I will also find time to have a good talk with Yan Ning and listen to her ideas."

Li Zekai said: "I see Yan Ning seems to like Zixuan very much. They even founded a company together. It seems to be called Swallow AI. It is a company specializing in artificial intelligence research."

Li Zeju raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? How long has this company been established?"

Li Zekai spread his hands and said innocently, "You can't blame me for this. I just found out about this not long ago, and I heard Zixuan mention it by chance. I'll ask for you later, or why don't you just ask Yan Ning directly?"

After listening to this, Li Zeju pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Yan Ning has always had her own ideas. She chose to start a company with Zixuan, which shows that she really trusts Zixuan and values ​​this relationship."

Wang Fuxin added: "Yan Ning has had her own opinions since she was young. As parents, we care about her but we also have to respect her choices. However, I hope she can understand that marriage and career are both important matters in life and need to be carefully considered."

"You're right." Li Zeju agreed. "I'll find time to have a good chat with Yan Ning and listen to her true thoughts. Also, we need to learn more about Zixuan's situation to make sure he is someone worthy of trust."

Li Zekai added: "Regarding Swallow AI, I will learn more about it as soon as possible to see their business and development prospects. After all, if Yan Ning and Zixuan really get together, this company will also become their common business."

Li Zeju doesn't know much about the artificial intelligence industry, and his business is more invested in traditional industries, which is not unrelated to the teachings of Li Chaoren.

But he is interested in any new industry, especially high-tech industries such as artificial intelligence.

Thinking that his daughter was suddenly going to start such a high-tech business, Li Zeju couldn't help but ask, "Zekai, do you know whether it was Yan Ning or Zixuan who came up with the idea of ​​starting this company?"

Li Zekai replied: "It should be Zixuan's idea. I heard him say that the company's shares seem to be divided in half, but the leadership and decision-making power are in Yan Ning's hands."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Li Zeju showed a mixture of surprise and appreciation on his face. "This Zixuan is quite courageous. Giving the leadership and decision-making power to Yan Ning shows that he trusts Yan Ning very much, and also reflects his generosity and foresight. This approach will not only allow Yan Ning to better display her talents, but also promote the relationship between the two of them."

Wang Fuxin also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Zixuan's move is very smart and generous. His doing this will undoubtedly make Yan Ning trust and rely on him more, which will only benefit their relationship."

Li Zekai continued, "Yes, Zixuan is indeed a rare talent. He not only has a business mind, but also knows how to handle and maintain interpersonal relationships. More importantly, he is sincere to Yan Ning, I can be sure of that."

"Since you all speak so highly of Zixuan, I feel relieved." Li Zeju said, "However, we still need to learn more about the company Swallow AI. After all, although the artificial intelligence industry has broad prospects, the competition is also very fierce. Moreover, this is a brand new track, and we must ensure that Yan Ning can gain a foothold in this industry and succeed."

"Don't worry about that. I will send someone to conduct a detailed investigation into the company's operations, market prospects, competitors and other information." Li Zekai replied, "After the results of the investigation come out, we will discuss the next plan together."

In this way, the Li family reached a consensus again.

They decided to fully support Yan Ning and Zixuan's careers, and at the same time they also looked forward to the two of them being able to achieve success as soon as possible and bring more glory and splendor to the Li family.

……

In a high-end shooting club in Hong Kong, the lighting is soft and the atmosphere is elegant.

Zhao Zixuan and Li Yanning walked into the shooting area side by side. This was their second meeting here after more than half a year, and it was also their first date alone after their reunion.

Li Yanning was wearing a simple yet fashionable dress, with her long hair gently draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were flashing with anticipation and nervousness.

Zhao Zixuan was dressed casually and looked calm, but his eyes revealed how seriously he took the date.

The two chose Li Yanning's favorite air gun shooting event. This is not only an entertainment activity, but also a tacit understanding and competition between them.

Li Yanning carefully adjusted Zhao Zixuan's shooting posture, gently touching his arm with his fingers to guide him to hold the gun correctly.

At this moment, they were so close that they could almost feel each other's breath. Zhao Zixuan could clearly smell the faint fragrance and warm body temperature of Li Yanning, and ripples appeared in his heart.

The game officially began, and both of them concentrated on aiming at the bull's eye. Every pull of the trigger seemed like an affectionate conversation between them.

Under Li Yanning's careful guidance and constant encouragement, Zhao Zixuan gradually mastered the tricks of shooting and his performance improved significantly.

During the exciting competition, they smiled at each other from time to time, sharing the joy of shooting and the happiness of victory.

Li Yanning has superb shooting skills, which is closely related to her love for shooting since childhood.

For her, shooting is not only an entertainment activity, but also a unique way to relieve stress. Whether she is in a good mood or depressed, she will come to the shooting range and release her inner emotions with the sound of gunfire.

Anyway, when in doubt, just shoot!

This is one of Li Yanning’s ways to relieve stress.

In contrast, Zhao Zixuan was a novice shooter. Whenever he shot, his bullets always failed to hit the target accurately, and five or six out of ten bullets would miss the target. Even if he hit the target, it was just luck.

Looking at Zhao Zixuan's almost brand new traceless target, Li Yanning couldn't help but smile secretly, but was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so she always tried her best to hide her smile.

"You've used up all your bullets. I have one shot left." Zhao Zixuan stopped shooting, took off his headphones, turned to Li Yanning who had also taken off her headphones and said, "Do you think I can hit the bull's eye with this shot?"

Li Yanning looked at him with a mischievous gleam in his eyes: "Of course I believe in you, you will definitely hit the bull's eye."

Zhao Zixuan smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Let's make a bet. If I hit the bull's eye, you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" Li Yanning asked curiously.

Zhao Zixuan smiled mysteriously: "It's meaningless to say it now. Don't worry, I won't let you do anything too extreme. Do you dare to bet with me?"

Seeing Zhao Zixuan's confident look, Li Yanning hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, there's nothing to be afraid of. But if you don't hit the bull's eye, you have to promise me one thing."

"no problem."

There was a gleam of confidence in Zhao Zixuan's eyes.

He put his headphones back on, raised his air rifle, took a deep breath, and put himself into a state of ecstasy.

He aimed closely at the bull's eye and gently pulled the trigger.

With a "bang" sound, the bullet shot towards the bull's eye like a meteor.

Ten rings!

Li Yanning stared at the target nervously. When she saw the bullet accurately pass through the center of the bull's eye, she widened her eyes in surprise, then turned to Zhao Zixuan, her eyes full of admiration and joy.

Zhao Zixuan took off his headphones and smiled proudly at Li Yanning, "It looks like I won."

Li Yanning looked at him helplessly and pouted in pretending to be angry: "You win, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Zixuan pretended to be mysterious and approached her, whispering: "My request is very simple, you close your eyes and follow me."

Although Li Yanning was full of doubts, she still closed her eyes obediently and let Zhao Zixuan hold her hand and lead her through the shooting area to a quiet corner.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now." Zhao Zixuan said softly.

Li Yanning slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a beautiful little cake and two cups of steaming coffee.

It turned out that Zhao Zixuan had already prepared all of this and was just waiting for the result of the bet.

"Is this what you want?" Li Yanning asked in surprise.

"Yes, all I want is to enjoy this beautiful afternoon with you." Zhao Zixuan said with a smile: "Eat cake together, drink coffee together, and chat together."

Li Yanning couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "You really know how to enjoy yourself!"

Sudden.

Zhao Zixuan stared at her closely, "Has anyone ever told you that you look good when you smile?"

Li Yanning was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head shyly, with a faint blush on her face. She muttered softly, "No... No, you are trying to make me happy, right?"

"I never flatter people." Zhao Zixuan opened his mouth and at the same time, he reached out and took off the expensive gold-rimmed glasses on Li Yanning's nose.

Li Yanning's vision suddenly became blurry. She subconsciously wanted to touch her glasses, but was gently stopped by Zhao Zixuan.

"Don't move, let me see your eyes." Zhao Zixuan said softly, his voice gentle and low, as if it had a kind of magic that made Li Yanning calm down involuntarily.

Zhao Zixuan looked at Li Yanning's eyes carefully. The eyes without lenses were clear and bright, as if they contained a sea of ​​stars, sparkling with charming light.

He couldn't help but admire softly: "Your eyes are so beautiful, it seems like there are stories in them."

Li Yanning's face turned even redder. She didn't know how to answer, so she could only lower her head and whispered, "Thank you."

Zhao Zixuan looked at her shy appearance and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He gently reached out his hand, held Li Yanning's hand, and said softly: "Can I kiss your eyes?"

Li Yanning suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhao Zixuan in shock, the blush on her face becoming more obvious.

She didn't expect Zhao Zixuan to make such a request, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

Zhao Zixuan looked at her surprised expression, smiled slightly, and explained softly: "Your eyes are so beautiful that I can't help but want to get closer. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it."

As Li Yanning listened to his gentle words, the shyness in her heart gradually disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable emotion that was difficult to cut off and sort out.

She looked into Zhao Zixuan's deep eyes, as if moved by his sincerity.

She nodded gently and said in a trembling voice, "Okay."

There was a glimmer of joy that was hard to conceal in Zhao Zixuan's eyes. He slowly approached Li Yanning, and the elegant scent of Chanel No. 5 filled his nose.

His lips gently touched Li Yanning's eyes, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still.

This kiss was gentle and affectionate, like a feather gently brushing across Li Yanning's heartstrings.

She felt her heartbeat accelerating and her cheeks trembling slightly, as if her whole body was about to melt in Zhao Zixuan's tenderness and love.

Just when Li Yanning was immersed in this tenderness and thought that Zhao Zixuan would leave, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her rosy lips skillfully.

This action was completely beyond Li Yanning's expectations. A hint of astonishment flashed across her eyes, but was quickly overwhelmed by Zhao Zixuan's passionate kiss.

This kiss was affectionate and passionate.

Zhao Zixuan conquered her mouth, taking all her sweetness and fragrance. Li Yanning felt a strong electric current passing through her body, making it almost impossible for her to stand.

Her pupils trembled again and again, reflecting her inner surprise and throbbing. Her legs also moved closer involuntarily, as if she was looking for a fulcrum to support her shaky body.

Zhao Zixuan felt her reaction, but he did not stop. Instead, he explored her lips and teeth more deeply and entangled with her.

One of his hands was tightly around her waist, making it impossible for her to escape.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still and everything around became blurry.

Only the breathing and heartbeats of the two of them intertwined, forming a beautiful and gorgeous movement. (End of this chapter)
