The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Li Shengli and his son discussed things in the study for quite a while before ending their conversation.

After discussing it, Li Shengli dialed Zhu Xinghe's father's number.

"Xiao Zhu, how's your old boss's health lately? Is it convenient for you to visit him?"

"Uncle Li, my dad is still the same as always. Since winter started, he's basically never gotten out of bed. He would be so happy to chat with you for a bit."

"Sure, I'll go visit my old boss when the weather's nice. My granddaughter, Li Tian, ​​recorded a new song at Xinghe Audio-Visual Company, but it was accidentally erased by their staff. That's so unprofessional."

After a few seconds of pause, the other party immediately understood the purpose of Li Shengli's call.

"Uncle Li, Xinghe is young and his management skills are not yet up to par. I will definitely teach him well."

Lee Seungri hummed in agreement.

"My granddaughter is only 14 years old and busy studying at Peking University. She has no intention of becoming famous or a star. She only wanted to contribute to the Asian Games opening ceremony because she was going to submit this song. It's such a pity that the creator's hard work was wasted."

There was a pause of a few seconds on the other end of the phone.

Then came a series of forced smiles.

"Uncle Li, I'll call that brat Xinghe later. How can he be so indifferent to national affairs? He needs a serious reprimand and be told to find a way to make up for it as soon as possible."

Lee Seungri leaned back in his chair, microphone in hand.

"Xiao Zhu, Li Tian is a child that my wife and I raised ourselves. My wife cherishes her like the apple of her eye, and Yuan Chao can't even touch her."

"Ji Yun passed away early, and the old couple in the Ji family treated her like their precious darling, spoiling her rotten."

"We're getting old, and all we want is to watch our children grow up carefree."

"By the way, Xinghe is in his mid-twenties now. Do you have a boyfriend yet? Don't forget to invite me to your wedding banquet. Old people like to join in the fun."

Two coughs came through the phone.

It seemed like they were trying to ease the awkwardness.

They probably know the inside story!

Lee Seungri's lips were still upturned, but his eyes turned completely cold.

A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"Uncle Li, Xinghe is a carefree kid. His mother is arranging blind dates for him. Once he settles down and gets married, he'll be able to settle down."

Li Shengli echoed this sentiment.

"That's right, you should start a family and then build a career, and then start a family and build a career. You should do what you're supposed to do at what age. Fortunately, my grandchildren are still young, so they won't have these worries for at least ten years."

This time, the voice on the other end of the phone came through very quickly.

"Uncle Li is a good educator; I can't compare to him in that respect. My three children are really good for nothing."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Once we've helped them get on their feet, we've fulfilled our responsibility. How far they can go is up to them."

"Yes, yes, I heard that Yuan Chao has changed jobs again."

"Yeah, the boss values ​​me and has given me more responsibilities, so I'm busy all day long."

They chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up.

Li Shengli looked at his son.

"I don't think Zhu Xinghe made this on a whim; I reckon the whole family had already discussed it."

Li Yuanchao clenched his fists in anger.

His daughter is still a minor, and these bastards dare to make a move on her!

"Dad, how effective will this phone call be?"

Lee Seungri patted his leg.

"It's just a statement of our stance. He might not even listen to the old leader, let alone me."

"Some people, they're sheltered by their families their whole lives, it's all too easy for them, they've become so arrogant. If it weren't for his protection, what right would Zhu Xinghe have to make a move on our Tian Tian?"

"Zhu Xinghe is utterly incompetent and immoral; he's nothing! He's not even worthy to carry Tian Tian's shoes."

Li Yuanchao wished he could go and beat Zhu Xinghe up right now.

But this isn't something that can be resolved with a simple lesson.

"So what do we do next?"

Li Shengli pointed to the file bag next to Li Yuanchao.

"Find a way to hand this over. It will not only rid the country of a bunch of parasites, but also stir up hatred for the Zhu family. They're living too comfortably."

"I will still visit my old boss, but it will only be to catch up; I won't talk to him about anything."

"There's no need to disturb an elderly person who's bedridden and unable to move."

Li Yuanchao didn't say much; the camaraderie among his father's generation was much deeper than theirs.

Even if Grandpa Zhu is the real mastermind, we can't just make things up without evidence.

My father didn't want to believe it.

Besides, what can an old man on his deathbed do when faced with a house full of good-for-nothings?

Li Yuanchao flipped through the documents in the file bag again.

Nobody's stupid; the source of the information is easy to find.

Even the Zhu family's great tree can't withstand lightning strikes, insect infestations, or flooding...

Li Shengli pointed to the gold and silver jewelry and the remaining stacks of money on the table.

"They're all in the safe."

"You'd better keep your mouth shut, don't tell Xiao Chang. Things are done in secret, and even an unintentional mistake is still a mistake."

Li Yuanchao nodded and began to collect the money the children had brought back for the family.

The fewer people who know about this, the safer it is.

The father and son each had a key to the safe in the house.

Li Tian was currently nestled on the sofa chatting with Ye Zhao and Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan already knew about the sample tape being washed. Having experienced and witnessed many things since childhood, she naturally didn't believe it was an accident.

"Tian Tian, ​​I've spoken to my brother. Although the preliminary audition requires a sample tape, you've participated in many important performances, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to skip the preliminary round."

Li Tian was about to give up, but hearing Chang Yuan say this gave her a glimmer of hope.

Who wouldn't want to get some exposure?

But it's absolutely impossible for her to try to please Zhu Xinghe.

"Thank you, Auntie. Don't make things difficult for my uncle over such a small matter."

Chang Yuan smiled.

"Just because he passed the preliminary selection doesn't mean he can be the final winner."

Ye Zhao patted Chang Yuan's arm.

"Thank you for your trouble."

The matter was considered closed, and Li Tian called Chen Yufei.

Tell her to pass on the message to Zhao Xiaolan.

Zhao Xiaolan will probably be able to be discharged from the hospital as soon as she hears the news.

Around the same time, the brother and sister returned to school.

As soon as Li Tian entered the dormitory, she saw that everyone had changed into new clothes.

Especially Liu Xiang.

I finally got to wear my thick new cotton-padded coat.

"Sorry, something came up at home today, and I missed the time."

Considering the candied fruit Li Tian handed over, what reason did Ningxia and the others have to be angry?

Besides, Li Tian had said beforehand that he might not be able to come.

Shen Wan gave Li Tian a handful of popcorn.

"We also went to see the movie 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' which was quite good."

Li Tian smiled and started eating.

Listen to their stories about what they saw and heard while they were out.

Looking at things from other people's perspectives can be quite fun sometimes, and there are aspects of enjoyment that she herself hasn't even discovered.

Life went on uneventfully, but the small restaurant was bustling with activity, a stark contrast to the winter's bleakness.

When it's cold, go there for a hot pot meal, work up a light sweat, and feel completely refreshed.

December 13th is Xiao Lin's birthday, which happens to be a Sunday.

She had arranged to meet with Li Tian and his sister well in advance.
