Weasel paying New Year's greetings to chicken

Twenty minutes later.

Yang Weiwei ran out, dragging her suitcase, drenched in sweat.

She opened the trunk.

She stuffed the suitcase inside.

Then she sat back in the passenger seat.

"Brother Li, let's go!"

Li Wei started the car.

"Fasten your seatbelt."

Yang Weiwei obediently fastened it.

The car drove out of the school gate.

It headed towards the airport.

On the way.

Yang Weiwei kept looking out the window.

Li Wei noticed it.

"What's wrong, can't bear to leave?"

Yang Weiwei turned her head.

"Yeah."

She paused for a moment.

"Brother Li, I will be back very soon."

Li Wei reached out and held her hand.

"Focus on your business, don't think too much. Sometimes, the more anxious you are, the more counterproductive it becomes."

Yang Weiwei nodded vigorously.

"Yeah!"

The car continued to drive forward.

Forty minutes later.

They arrived at the airport.

Li Wei parked the car in the parking lot.

Both of them got out.

Li Wei helped her with her suitcase.

They walked towards the terminal.

Arriving at the check-in counter.

Yang Weiwei got her boarding pass.

She checked her luggage.

Then she turned around, reluctant to part.

"Brother Li, I have to go in now."

Li Wei nodded.

"Be careful on the way."

Yang Weiwei bit her lip.

"Brother Li, I... I can't bear to leave you."

Li Wei reached out and touched her head.

"I can't bear to see you go either."

Yang Weiwei's eyes turned red.

"Then... then I'm leaving."

She turned to go.

Li Wei pulled her back.

"Wait."

Yang Weiwei turned back.

"What is it?"

Li Wei lowered his head.

He kissed her on the forehead.

"Have a safe trip."

Yang Weiwei was completely stunned.

Her face turned so red it was as if it would drip blood.

"Yeah... yeah!"

She turned and ran into the security checkpoint.

After running a few steps, she turned back.

"Brother Li, wait for me to come back!"

Li Wei waved his hand.

Yang Weiwei ran away with a smile.

Li Wei stood in place.

Until her figure disappeared into the security checkpoint.

He turned and walked towards the parking lot.

His phone suddenly rang.

Caller ID: Zhao Jianguo.

Li Wei frowned.

Had this guy not had enough of scolding last time?

How dare he try to contact him again.

He answered.

"Hello?"

Zhao Jianguo's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Li Wei, do you have time?"

The tone was a bit off.

It wasn't that provocative feeling.

Instead, it was a bit polite.

Li Wei leaned against the car door.

"What's up?"

Zhao Jianguo paused for a moment.

"I want to invite you to a meal."

Li Wei laughed.

"A meal?"

Zhao Jianguo continued.

"It's just... it's about last time, I want to apologize to you in person."

Li Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Apologize?"

Zhao Jianguo took a deep breath.

"Yes, I was indeed too harsh that day."

He paused.

"So I invited you to a meal today as an act of atonement."

Li Wei was silent for a few seconds.

"When?"

Zhao Jianguo answered immediately.

"Twelve o'clock noon, at that Cantonese restaurant 'Yushanfang' in Nanshan District, is that okay?"

Li Wei thought for a moment.

"Fine."

Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then it's settled, see you at twelve."

Li Wei hung up the phone.

He sneered.

A leopard cannot change its spots.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhao Jianguo was selling in his gourd.

He opened the car door.

He sat in.

He started the engine.

The car drove out of the parking lot.

He checked the time.

It was now ten o'clock in the morning.

Five hours until his meeting with Qin Xue.

Two hours until his meal with Zhao Jianguo.

Li Wei stepped on the gas pedal.

The car drove towards the city center.

Li Wei drove the car to Nanshan District.

He found a car wash.

He had his beloved car washed.

Then he found a nearby cafe to sit down in.

He ordered an Americano.

He scrolled through his phone.

Time passed quickly.

At 11:50.

Li Wei paid the bill.

He drove to Yushanfang.

Ten minutes later.

The car stopped at the restaurant entrance.

Li Wei got out.

He pushed the door open to enter.

A Waiter came up to greet him.

"Hello, sir, do you have a reservation?"

Li Wei gave Zhao Jianguo's name.

The Waiter nodded.

"Mr. Zhao has already arrived and is in a private room on the second floor. Please, this way."

Li Wei followed her upstairs.

At the end of the corridor was a private room.

The Waiter pushed the door open.

"Sir, please."

Li Wei walked in.

Someone was already sitting in the private room.

Zhao Jianguo.

He was dressed quite formally today.

A dark gray suit.

A white shirt.

And even a tie.

Seeing Li Wei enter.

He immediately stood up.

"Li Wei, you're here."

He had a smile on his face.

Li Wei walked over.

He sat opposite him.

"If you have something to say, say it."

The smile on Zhao Jianguo's face stiffened for a moment.

But it quickly recovered.

"Let's eat first, we can talk while we eat."

He waved over the Waiter.

"You can serve the dishes now."

The Waiter nodded.

She turned to leave.

A few minutes later.

The dishes began to be served.

Roast goose, white-cut chicken, steamed fish, stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

Plate after plate was set down.

Filling the table.

Zhao Jianguo poured Li Wei a cup of tea.

"Li Wei, about last time, I was in the wrong."

Li Wei picked up his teacup.

"And?"

Zhao Jianguo coughed.

"I was indeed too harsh that day."

He paused.

"So I invited you to a meal today to apologize."

Li Wei took a sip of tea.

"Just this?"

Zhao Jianguo coughed again.

"There is one more thing."

Li Wei put down the teacup, revealing an expression of 'as I expected'.

"Speak."

Zhao Jianguo took a document out of his bag.

"It's like this, I'm currently doing business in partnership with a friend."

He pushed the file in front of Li Wei.

"It's a wealth management product with pretty good returns."

Li Wei glanced at the document without opening it.

"And then?"

Zhao Jianguo rubbed his hands.

"I reckon you should have some spare cash on hand right now."

He paused.

"Do you want to invest a little?"

Li Wei laughed.

"You called me just for this?"

Zhao Jianguo waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, no, the main thing is still to apologize."

He pushed the document forward again.

"This is just something I'm mentioning in passing."

Li Wei picked up his chopsticks.

He picked up a piece of roast goose.

"Not interested."

Zhao Jianguo was stunned for a moment.

"Li Wei, don't be in such a hurry to refuse."

He pointed at the document.

"The returns are really quite high, 20% annualized."

Li Wei continued eating.

"Not interested."

Zhao Jianguo got a bit anxious.

"Li Wei, listen to me finish."

He paused.

"This is a legitimate wealth management product, it has a license."

Li Wei put down his chopsticks.

"A license?"

Zhao Jianguo nodded.

"Yeah, our company has a financial license."

Li Wei laughed.

"Your company?"

Zhao Jianguo's face changed slightly.

"No, slip of the tongue, I meant it's just... it's my friend's company."

Li Wei picked up his teacup.

"What's the name?"

Zhao Jianguo paused.

"Shen City Xinsheng Investment Management Co., Ltd."

Li Wei took a sip of tea.

His Intermediate Business Acumen began to operate in his mind.

Xinsheng Investment.

20% annualized returns.

A guy like Zhao Jianguo pulling in recruits.

Combining these keywords, Li Wei understood immediately.

This fucking thing was a Ponzi scheme.
