Chapter 7
At this moment, there were no one in the teahouse, only Li Xuantong and Li Hong were left. As for the Li Qing brothers, after Li Mu left for a while, they all looked for reasons to apply oil to the soles of their feet.
The director obviously has no mood to continue drinking tea, and only fools will continue to stay. Of course, Li Hong, as an insider and the owner of the teahouse, is not listed here.
"What do you think?" Li Xuantong's eyes closed slightly and his body leaned softly on the chair.
"Self-filled."
Li Hong said: "The second brother obviously prepared in advance, which shows that he had already noticed it. Although he misunderstood his father's intentions, this move is also a clever trick from his position."
"Good trick? You are such a good brother. If you are like this, you can come up with words to defend him." Li Xuantong opened his eyes and said with resentment: "He is relieved, but he has let my efforts down!"
Li Mu was not wrong. Today's game was set up by his father. But Li Mu really didn't understand his father's real intention.
Li Xuantong has already made arrangements for resolving the rebellion in the New Third District. Regardless of marriage or not, he is confident that Beimen Baluo will submit. Besides, even if Li Mu wants to marry into the Beimen family, Li Xuantong will not agree.
A son who can cure A-level warriors and help them break through and is suspected of hiding S-level strength will only give water to someone else's son-in-law.
The reason why he deliberately brought the topic over today is not that Li Xuantong wanted to sell his son to save the country, but that he wanted to make Li Mu make a big splash in front of his brothers just like when he was in the study.
It is true that the Li brothers have a good relationship, but no one takes Li Mu, the second brother seriously. After all, Li Mu's past reputation is there, and even his own brother cannot be looked down upon. Being able to maintain a good relationship and take good care of Li Mu for the rest of his life is the ultimate that his younger brothers can do.
But this is not what Li Xuantong wants, he needs Li Mu to bear more.
The director is not an emperor, and there is no possibility of passing the throne. However, someone still needs to bear the burden of the family's future.
All of his sons are excellent and can theoretically inherit the family business. However, because of Li Hong's relationship, Li Xuantong always feels that everyone else is a little worse. Even Li Qing, who is the best at present, can only look at him compared to Li Hong's back then.
Li Hong became the captain after graduating from military academy. At the age of 24, he broke through the SS class and was directly transferred to the Federal Fleet Headquarters. Later, he became the youngest major general in the headquarters at that time. Li Xuantong had almost made up his mind at that time and became the next generation of the Li family.
The inheritance of the aristocratic family cannot be separated from bloodlines, but it will not be limited by bloodlines. It is true that Li Hong is not Li Xuantong's biological son, but he also has the blood of the Li family. If Li Hong can really inherit the family business, the Li family will definitely have a more glorious future.
Unfortunately, Li Hong was injured in a battle and had to retire due to injuries. Although he still made a world of business, he was destined to be out of position as the head of the family.
This incident was an irreparable pain in Li Xuantong's heart, and it was a loss that the Li family could not make up for. Now, Li Xuantong suddenly discovered that his second son, who had always been a playboy, had hidden his talent that was no less than Li Hong.
This discovery made the silent flame in Li Xuantong's heart burn again.
He didn't have the plan to let Li Mu take over now, but this did not prevent him from trying to train in this direction.
If this game can be successful today, Li Mu will show his face in front of his brothers and establish prestige. Then, Li Xuantong will plan a bigger occasion to let more people realize Li Mu's excellence. Then, naturally, let Li Mu take on the heavy responsibility and push him to a higher and larger stage step by step.
This is the father paving the way for his son, and this is the director providing his son with a shortcut to his ascension.
But the result was good, and the first step was to fall into the cesspool. Not only did it not take another step, it was more odor than before.
Li Xuantong was sulking, and Wang Quan came in from outside and placed the eavesdropping device on the table.
"He didn't find it?" Li Hong asked.
"It shouldn't be." Wang Quan replied: "I arranged a lot around the teahouse, all of which were placed three days ago. Moreover, this kind of eavesdropping device is very primitive and uses electricity. Although the power is very low and the monitoring distance is limited, it is difficult to detect."
"Uncle Quan has experience." Li Hong turned on the playback function and turned on the volume. Soon, the conversation between Li Mu and Shangguan Yuer was clearly transmitted from it.
"It seems that my second brother is not ignoring the family, but he knows that this matter will not affect his father." Li Hong continued to speak for Li Mu in a roundabout way.
"You don't need to say this." Li Xuantong snorted: "Although that kid is not doing it properly, he won't cause trouble for his family."
Although Li Mu's life is decadent, he always grasps subtle standards. That is, Li Mu never bullies others with power, nor does he cause any real trouble to his family. The only impact is that he has a bad reputation.
For example, although Li Mu does not like other second-generation officials, he does not take the initiative to provoke and find fault, and rarely appears in a certain place with those people at the same time. In this way, even if he wants to have a dispute, he will have no chance.
And every time I go out, I take the General Administration car. I don’t want to show off anything, but having this car is enough to intimidate those who want to cause trouble. And those who can’t intimidate this car basically know Li Mu’s identity.
Li Mu did this just to rely on his parents for a long time. Li Xuantong knew about these things before, and did not think deeply about them. But now after discovering that Li Mu "hidden his strength", these things that were originally ignored became the advantages of his son.
"Father, I still can't understand." Li Hong shook his head with a wry smile: "The second brother is obviously very outstanding, but why should he hide his weakness? Like today's case, there are many solutions. Why is it difficult to throw dirty water on himself?"
"What's hard to understand about this?" Li Xuantong said angrily: "He is just lazy, thinking that I can support him for the rest of my life."
As the saying goes, there is no better father than son. The chief of the director is the chief of the son, and he can easily see through the essence of his son. Since he has seen through the essence, he will naturally know what to do.
For such hopeless lazy people, no matter how many steps they lay, they would not go up. Therefore, the Director decided to do the opposite.
"Wang Quan, starting this month, Li Mu won't have to pay for his living expenses."
The director said coolly, and his elder brother Li Hong and the butler Wang had a comprehensive look.
"Master, what do you mean..." Wang Quan was not sure.
"Is it difficult to understand?" Li Xuantong emphasized: "Not only will he not issue any future, he will have to stop his bank card. Also, no one in the family is allowed to give him pocket money."
"Especially you!" Li Xuantong turned his gaze to Li Hong: "I know you feel sorry for your brother. I have been blocking things for him many times before. But this time, you can't be soft-hearted!"
"Father, I understand." Li Hong said: "In the past, I thought he was just like this and didn't want him to be too hard. But now I know that he has a beautiful heart, so I will naturally not be spoiled. If I feel soft-hearted at this time, I will not help him, but hurt him."
"It's best if you can think like this." Li Xuantong nodded with satisfaction.
If Li Mu knew about this conversation, he would definitely roar and kill me, don't help me. It's just a pity that he didn't know, and it would be useless to know.
Because as a second-generation ancestor, there is no chance to resist the family. This is exactly what Li Xuantong wants Li Mu to learn.
"Give me enlightenment, my soul is fading!"
