Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

In the Li family's study.

Li Chaoren sat in front of the desk, with his two sons, Li Zekai and Li Zeju, sitting on both sides. The atmosphere in the study was formal yet with a touch of family warmth.

This time, their focus is on Zhao Zixuan and Heguang Technology, a company he founded, which has emerged as a rising star in the short video field in mainland China.

Li Chaoren said slowly: "The main reason I called you here today is to discuss Zhao Zixuan's Heguang Technology Company in depth. This company has a very rapid development momentum and has already occupied a place in the mainland short video market. It even has the potential to compete with giants such as BAT."

Li Zekai's eyes showed his admiration for Zhao Zixuan, and he continued, "Dad, Zixuan is indeed a rare talent. I have had many contacts with him. He not only has a far-reaching vision, but also has the execution ability to turn vision into reality. Heguang Technology's performance in content innovation and user stickiness is eye-catching. Our company has in-depth business dealings with them. I firmly believe that this company will play an important role in the market in the future."

Li Zeju also expressed his own views: "Zhao Zixuan's innovative talent and business insight are truly amazing. He is able to lead the team to continue to innovate, which is very valuable. Heguang Technology can stand out so quickly, which is inseparable from his extraordinary vision."

Li Chaoren pondered for a moment, then asked: "Since Heguang Technology has such great development potential, should we consider strengthening our cooperation with them and further supporting their development?"

Li Zekai immediately expressed his support: "This is definitely a wise move. I have communicated with Zhao Zixuan many times, and he has a clear blueprint for the company's future development plan. Investing in them is undoubtedly planning for the future."

Li Zeju also agreed: "Judging from the current trend, Heguang Technology is expected to become a leader in the short video industry. We are deepening our cooperation with them at this moment, which is a win-win choice for both parties."

After hearing this, Li Chaoren smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, then we will reach a strategic cooperation plan with Heguang Technology as soon as possible and discuss specific cooperation matters. Zekai, you will take the lead in this matter."

Li Zekai agreed immediately, and Li Zeju also expressed his full support.

At this time, Li Chaoren raised a new topic: "Also, I want to hear what you think about Zixuan and Yanning's matter?"

Li Zekai first expressed his own views: "Dad, I actually know something about the relationship between Zixuan and Yanning. They met at the Jockey Club and gradually developed feelings for each other. As far as I know, they have admired and liked each other for a long time. They are a perfect match made in heaven. And Zixuan is so outstanding. I think Zixuan and Yanning are a good match."

As Li Yanning's father, Li Zeju naturally pays special attention to his daughter's love life.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yan Ning does have a very high opinion of Zixuan. I have also heard her mention that her cooperation and communication with Zixuan has benefited her a lot. However, as for the development of their relationship, I think it will take time to observe and verify."

After hearing this, Li Chaoren showed a thoughtful expression. He tapped the desk lightly with his fingers, as if he was weighing every detail.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "I am very relieved to hear you say this about Zixuan and Yanning. Yanning is my most beloved granddaughter, and her happiness is of vital importance to me."

He turned to Li Zeju, his eyes flashing with the tenderness and worry of a father: "Zeju, as Yan Ning's father, you are naturally the one who cares most about her future. We all hope that Yan Ning can find someone who is truly worthy of trust. From you, I learned that Zixuan is not only talented, but also has rare qualities and sense of responsibility. However, matters of the heart, after all, they need to explore and decide for themselves."

Li Zeju nodded and responded seriously: "Of course I hope Yan Ning can find someone who truly loves and understands her. If Zixuan is really that person, I will fully support them. However, I hope they can face their feelings for each other more maturely and rationally, and not make decisions based on momentary impulse."

Li Chaoren nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval: "Your concerns are reasonable. Then, we will keep paying attention, but not interfere too much, and give them enough private space and time. If their feelings are sincere and deep, then time will prove everything."

The lights in the study illuminated the warm smiles on the faces of the three people. They were also experienced people, so they knew that support and understanding were the most lasting confessions on the growth path of young people. As for the future of Li Yanning and Zhao Zixuan, let time decide.

……

After Zhao Zixuan and Li Yanning left the Li family hand in hand, night had quietly fallen and the lights were turned on, adding a bit of prosperity and romance to the night of Hong Kong.

They walked side by side on the quiet street, both of them feeling particularly relaxed.

Zhao Zixuan gently held Li Yanning's hand, his deep eyes revealing endless tenderness: "Yanning, your grandfather really cares about you. I can feel his deep love for you."

Li Yanning smiled gently, with a happy light in her eyes: "Yes, my grandfather has loved me the most since I was a child. He has always been the person I respect the most. He is not only the leader of the family, but also the guide on my road to growth. His attitude today also makes me more certain that I am right to choose you."

As she spoke, she suddenly stopped, turned around and looked straight at Zhao Zixuan.

She asked deeply, "Zixuan, I still feel it's so unreal. Are we really together?"

Zhao Zixuan looked at her cute and somewhat confused expression, and his heart moved. He reached out and gently scratched her nose, smiling lovingly: "Little fool, this is certainly not a dream. If you feel it is not real, then pinch yourself hard and see if it hurts."

Li Yanning smiled playfully when she heard that, but she didn't pinch herself. Instead, she pinched Zhao Zixuan's arm unexpectedly.

"Ah! You are murdering your husband!"

Zhao Zixuan pretended to cry out in pain, then looked at her helplessly, pretending to be angry and muttering, "It seems that you want to take advantage of me, no, I will pinch you back, look at my dragon claw hand!"

"No, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't pinch me!"

Li Yanning was amused by him and laughed continuously. She begged for mercy repeatedly, and soon she collapsed weakly in Zhao Zixuan's arms.

Zhao Zixuan couldn't help himself and lowered his head to kiss those petal-like lips.

Li Yanning was startled by Zhao Zixuan's sudden kiss, but soon she was immersed in the tenderness of this man.

Her heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She closed her eyes gently and let Zhao Zixuan's lips gently flow over hers.

Zhao Zixuan was also intoxicated in this kiss. He felt Li Yanning's lips were soft and warm, as if an electric current was transmitted through their lips, making his heart beat faster and intoxicated.

Both of them's breathing became rapid, as if they were the only two people left in the world, and they completely ignored the eyes and gazes of passers-by.

Their kiss became more and more passionate, as if they wanted to merge each other into their bodies.

I don’t know how long it was before the two reluctantly parted.

Li Yanning's little face became even redder. She glared at Zhao Zixuan, lowered her head shyly, and said in a trembling voice: "You always try to take advantage of me."

Zhao Zixuan looked at her shy appearance and his heart was moved.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a wicked smile, and he gently held her hand, saying jokingly: "What do you mean I took advantage of you? I see you were enjoying it just now, weren't you?"

Li Yanning choked shyly, but surprisingly did not refute.

She was indeed deeply attracted by the kiss, and an unprecedented feeling surged in her heart. She didn't know before that a kiss could be so wonderful, so comfortable, and so memorable.

She thought to herself, if only she had known kissing would be so comfortable...

But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she quickly shook her head, as if to get rid of this ridiculous idea.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhao Zixuan noticed that she looked strange and asked curiously.

Li Yanning was shocked. She didn't dare to admit that she had just had such wild thoughts. So she hesitantly explained, "No, I didn't think about anything. Let's go. I'll take you back to the hotel."

Zhao Zixuan looked at her panic and was more certain that she must have been thinking about something. But he did not expose her, but just smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble my little wife to take me back to the hotel."

Li Yanning rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Who is your little wife? Don't talk nonsense. I didn't agree to be your little wife."

Zhao Zixuan smiled and said, "We have met each other's parents. Now everyone knows that you are mine. It's too late for you to regret it."

Li Yanning snorted again and pretended to be angry. "Who said I can't regret it? You are still in my probation period. If your performance is not good enough, I have the right... the right..."

She was suddenly stuck and didn't know what to say next.

Zhao Zixuan looked at her hesitation, smiled knowingly, and took over the conversation and teased, "What do you have the right to do? Go on, do you want to say that you have the right to kick me out?"

Li Yanning's cheeks flushed slightly, and she muttered, "Anyway, you are still in the probation period, so you have to perform well."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely perform well and try to get a regular job as soon as possible." Zhao Zixuan responded with a smile, but in his heart he had a better understanding of the tenderness of this little woman.

"That's pretty good." Li Yanning smiled proudly.

The two smiled at each other and continued to walk forward. The street in the night looked particularly warm under the light. They enjoyed this rare time alone and their hearts became closer.

When they arrived at the hotel lobby, the lights were bright and people were coming and going.

Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in Li Yanning's sight. It was her high school classmate at Hong Kong Hankey International School and also her long-time pursuer - Chen Hao.

Chen Hao had admired Li Yanning since childhood. They were classmates who could talk about anything, but Li Yanning only treated him as a good friend.

Chen Hao had expressed his feelings to Li Yanning many times, but was politely rejected every time.

However, the emotions in his heart did not diminish, but became even stronger.

At this moment, Chen Hao saw Li Yanning and Zhao Zixuan walking together hand in hand, and he couldn't help feeling jealous.

He wanted to know who had captured the goddess of his heart without him noticing.

Chen Hao walked forward and greeted her calmly, "Li Yanning, long time no see."

His eyes involuntarily fell on Zhao Zixuan, looking him up and down.

Li Yanning introduced awkwardly: "Chen Hao, this is my boyfriend Zhao Zixuan."

Then she turned to Zhao Zixuan, "This is my classmate at Hankey, his name is Chen Hao."

Zhao Zixuan smiled and extended his hand, "Hello, Chen Hao, nice to meet you."

Chen Hao shook hands reluctantly, feeling even more jealous and confused, because Zhao Zixuan looked a little handsome, tall, and had a very superior aura, as if he was a successful person.

He tried to read something from Zhao Zixuan's eyes, but he only saw calmness and confidence.

"Are you guys...going to get a room?"

Chen Hao blurted out, and the jealousy that was hard to conceal in his words made the atmosphere suddenly become awkward.

Li Yanning frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Chen Hao, please be careful with your words. I just sent Zixuan back to the hotel, it's not what you think."

Zhao Zixuan looked at Chen Hao with a playful look.

He knew that the person who could become Li Yanning's classmate and keep in touch with him must be special.

However, Chen Hao's thoughtless words made Zhao Zixuan feel that even if he had some background, he was definitely not the second generation of a big shot. A true child of aristocratic family would definitely maintain his demeanor on the surface even if he was jealous in his heart.

Chen Hao felt ashamed for his impulsive words.

He tried to calm his surging emotions and tried to save face: "I am really sorry, I may have misunderstood something. I hope you can forgive me for this slip of the tongue."

Seeing that his apology was quite sincere, Li Yanning's displeasure gradually dissipated.

"Forget it, let's go."

She spoke softly, took Zhao Zixuan's hand and prepared to leave.

But just as they were about to turn around, Chen Hao called out to them again.

"Wait a moment!"

Chen Hao walked quickly to them and looked directly at Li Yanning. "Li Yanning, are you free these days? Squad Leader Huang is planning to organize a class reunion in these few days. If you have time, why not come and join us?"

Li Yanning frowned slightly and was about to refuse, but Chen Hao quickly added: "It's okay if you bring your boyfriend along."

His gaze turned to Zhao Zixuan, with a hint of challenge and inquiry.

Li Yanning glanced at Zhao Zixuan with a questioning look in her eyes.

Zhao Zixuan smiled slightly and gently shook her hand to show his support for her decision.

"If you want to go, then we can go together."

His voice was gentle but firm, as if he would stay by her side no matter what decision Li Yanning made.

Li Yanning shook her head slightly and said to Chen Hao, "Chen Hao, thank you for your invitation, but I'm really not interested in this kind of party. If I have time, I would rather enjoy my own world with Zixuan."

After hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Chen Hao's eyes, but he still respected Li Yanning's decision.

He said helplessly: "Well, since you don't want to go, I won't force you."

Li Yanning nodded slightly, took Zhao Zixuan's hand gracefully, and left without looking back. (End of this chapter)
