My place is on fire

Chapter 294 Do you call this stingy?

It was just after six o'clock in the afternoon when Luo Rongning drove out of the scenic spot.

There is still an hour before the time when he and Shui Leilei agreed to meet.

It only takes about 10 minutes to drive from the scenic spot to Wanshan Hotel, which is still plenty of time.

Luo Yuning was not in a hurry to make an appointment with Shui Leilei, but instead drove the car to the entrance of a resort developed by the Bandung Group.

The name of the resort is Annaxi Town, and there are all two-story villas in the town.

Once upon a time, Luo Rongning also thought about buying a villa here to settle down, but was dissuaded by the high price of the villa.

The cheapest price of a villa in the resort is 200 million or more.

With this 200 million, I can buy two houses in a good location in the county with full payment. Even if the locals can afford it, they won't buy it. It's not worth it.

However, the customer base of Anna Creek Town Resort is not locals either.

Most of the residents in the town are rich people who have money and leisure in Shishi.

I live in the urban area on weekdays, and only come here for two days on weekends or holidays.

It is no exaggeration to say that the residents in the Annaxi Town Resort are at least multi-millionaire level, and they are all owners who are not short of money.

[Fountain of Life] This kind of high-end mountain spring is definitely not affordable for ordinary people.

Luo Rongning thought about it all afternoon, and finally set his sights on the small town of Annaxi.

The entire Wanshan County, which is the small town of Annaxi, is most likely to become a sales market for [Fountain of Life].

At 6:15 p.m., Cayenne stopped at the main entrance of Anna Creek town and was stopped by security.

A middle-aged man in a security uniform walked to the car window and said politely, "Hi sir, we don't allow external vehicles to enter here."

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Luo Rongning pulled the car aside, picked up the phone from the co-pilot, found Li Guohua's number and dialed it.

It was no secret that Li Guohua lived in the small town of Annaxi, and the purpose of Luo Rongning's trip was to deliver water to him.

As the well-deserved richest man in Wanshan County and the boss of the world's top 500 large group companies, his purchasing power is definitely beyond doubt.

Luo Rongning is confident in turning Li Guohua into a loyal user of [Fountain of Life].

Beep beep, beep beep——!

The phone rang several times before it was connected, and Li Guohua's deep and deep voice sounded from the opposite side.

"Boy Luo? You kid must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you have something to say, speak quickly, and if you have to fart, quickly."

Luo Rongning's microphone was so loud that the security guards standing outside the car window could hear it clearly.

After hearing Li Guohua's voice, the security guard recognized him in an instant, and looked at Luo Rongning in awe instantly.

The security guard's name is Li Shunxiang, who is from Lijiazhuang next to the small town of Annaxi, and is in the same village as Li Guohua.

Li Guohua has done a lot of good deeds for the village over the years, which has greatly improved the living conditions of the villagers in Lijiazhuang.

From the children of four or five years old to the elderly in their seventies and eighties in Lijiazhuang, there is no one who does not know Li Guohua and does not miss Li Guohua.

"Judging from Mr. Li's tone of voice, he must be very close to this young man in front of him."

From Li Huaguo's short sentence, Li Shunxiang could tell that his relationship with Luo Rongning was unusual.

As the boss of Wanlong Group and the richest man in Wanshan County, Li Guohua usually presents an extremely majestic image in front of outsiders.

The tone of his speech just now is very similar to those elders who dote on their younger generations, there is no trace of majesty.

"Old man Li, look at what you said, I can't go to your house if I have nothing to do."

Luo Yuning's words almost made Li Shunxiang's jaw drop. It was the first time he had seen him dare to talk to Li Guohua like that.

Usually, even if the big leaders of the county came here to visit and investigate, they would call out Mr. Li one by one, and they were extremely polite.

"Look, you've wronged a good person, right? I'm here today, and I don't ask you to do something, and I don't borrow money from you. I just drop by and give you some good things."

"Old man Li, it's meaningless for you to say that, am I such a stingy person?"

"Keep it secret, you'll know what it is when you see it, and you'll definitely be grateful to me after you try it."

"Good good..."

"Brother Security, you answer the phone."

After chatting with Li Guohua on the phone, Luo Rongning stretched out his hand from the window and handed the phone to Li Shunxiang who was waiting outside the car door.

"Hey! Good, good." Li Shunxiang quickly took the phone with both hands, put it carefully to his ear, and greeted respectfully, "Hi, hello."

"Okay, okay, I'll let this gentleman go!"

"Okay Mr. Li, I understand, I will enter this gentleman's license plate number into the system immediately!"

"understand!"

Li Shunxiang said something to the phone, and then respectfully returned the phone to Luo Rongning with both hands.

After Luo Rongning answered the phone, he briefly talked to Li Guohua before hanging up.

"Sir, please wait a moment, I will open the door for you right away!"

Seeing Luo Yuning hang up the phone, Li Shunxiang trotted into the security room and manually lifted the barrier.

"Thank you." Luo Rongning waved his hand to Li Shunxiang from the car window to thank him, then kicked the accelerator and entered the community.

The small town of Annaxi is a bit expensive, but the environment inside is worthy of the price.

Winter is approaching, and other places are full of withered and yellow leaves, but the community is still full of greenery.

The left side of the main road in the community is full of flowers, and the right side is a gully flowing stream.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions for residents to rest and enjoy can be seen everywhere in the community.

Red and white European-style two-story small villas are hidden among the green grass and green trees.

Driving in the community like a garden, the whole person's mood relaxes a lot.

"No wonder Lao Li likes to live here. The environment here is much better than those in the villas in the urban area."

Looking at the constantly receding scene outside the window, Luo Rongning also wanted to buy a property here.

The small town of Annaxi is only about 6 kilometers away from the Heilong Mountain Scenic Area. Living here is more convenient than living in the urban area.

In the past, the villas here were out of reach for Luo Rongning.

Now, with a day or two of his income, he can buy a big villa with all the money here.

After driving in the community for about 2 minutes, Cayenne stopped at the gate of Villa No. 88.

Parking the car in the exclusive parking space marked with lines outside the villa, Luo Rongning opened the trunk and took out a bucket of water from it.

"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong..."

After Luo Rongning rang the doorbell, the big black iron door of the villa opened, and an aunt who appeared to be in her 50s appeared at the door.

"Water delivery? I didn't ask you to deliver it."

The aunt saw Luo Rongning holding a bucket of water, and thought he was a water delivery man.

Luo Rongning was a little bit dumbfounded and said: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Luo Rongning, I'm here to find Lao Li."

"Ah! You are Mr. Luo! Please come in, please come in! Give me the water, and I will carry it for you!"

After hearing Luo Yuning's self-report, the aunt went up to snatch the bucket from him without saying a word, and invited him in.

After entering the gate, Luo Rongning had to sigh again, rich people would still enjoy it.

The villa where Li Guohua lives has no less than 1000 square meters in the yard alone.

Under the walls around the yard are some vines and various trees and shrubs that Luo Rongning can't name but look very beautiful.

In the southwest corner of the yard is a sunny greenhouse with an area of ​​about 200 square meters. There are a lot of flowers inside, which looks very interesting.

Aunt followed Luo Rongning's gaze to the Sunshine Greenhouse, and introduced with a smile:
"Over there is Mr. Li's back garden. Every weekend, Mr. Li will take care of the flowers and plants and some seasonal vegetables."

Luo Yuning nodded in response: "It seems that Mr. Li likes flowers and plants."

The aunt smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Li often said that planting flowers and grass can cultivate one's sentiments."

"There is a swimming pool over there. Mr. Li swims for 2 hours every Monday."

"There is a small golf course over there. On Tuesdays, Li always plays golf there."

"There is a small pond over the gazebo, where Lee always fishes on Wednesdays."

While walking, the aunt introduced the various landscapes in the yard to Luo Rongning one by one.

"The life of the rich is life!"

While listening to the aunt's introduction, Luo Rongning couldn't help sighing in his heart.

After passing through the large courtyard, the two came to the gate of the villa.

"Sister Li, this is Mr. Luo Yuning Luo, the visitor Mr. Li just mentioned."

After the aunt brought Luo Rongning to the gate of the villa, she handed him over to another aunt.

Another aunt made a gesture of invitation to Luo Yuning: "Mr. Luo, please come in quickly. Mr. Li has been waiting for a long time."

"Thank you." After Luo Yuning smiled and nodded his thanks, he followed his aunt into the villa.

Upon entering the door, Luo Rongning was a little dazed after seeing the decoration style of the villa.

Contrary to the European luxury style he imagined, the interior decoration of the villa looks very simple.

Yes, it is crude.

Just like an ordinary simple-decorated community house, there are no extra decorations on the roof, just putty and big white.

In the living room, there was no dark and luxurious crystal chandelier as Luo Yuning had imagined, it was just an ordinary ceiling lamp.

The furniture in the villa was so simple that it was too outrageous, it turned out to be the kind of maroon spring and autumn chairs that are very common in rural houses!

While Luo Rongning was looking at the furnishings in the villa, Li Guohua, who was wearing a light gray loose Tang suit, appeared from the stairs on the second floor.

"Boy Luo, where are the good things you brought me?"

As Li Guohua went downstairs, he stared at Luo Rongning and asked curiously.

After hearing Li Huaguo's voice, Luo Yuning looked up at the stairs, and said with a smile, "Old Li, this is how you treat guests? You don't welcome the guests first, the first sentence is to ask the guests to bring you something good stuff."

Li Guohua said with a look of disgust: "What kind of guest are you? If you want to come to my place as a guest, you just don't come here in the future."

"If you want to say that, then I really won't be rude to you."

As Luo Yuning spoke, he raised his legs and took a few steps forward, and sat down on the Chunqiu chair in the living room.

"Let me tell you, Lao Li, you are the richest man in our Wanshan County anyway. Who doesn't know that you are rich, and you still have such a set of furniture at home to pretend to be poor, so you don't hurt your butt when you sit?"

Li Huaguo scolded with a smile: "Your butt is precious! This set of furniture has been with me for decades, and I haven't felt panicked after sitting on it for decades."

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is. You mean, this set of furniture has been around for decades?" Luo Rongning touched the slippery, starched armrests of the sofa with an expression of disbelief.

Li Guohua suddenly looked reminiscent: "This sofa was built for me by your grandfather when I got married. To be precise, it has been used for 45 years."

"This sofa... was made by my grandpa?" Seeing things and thinking about people, Luo Rongning heard Li Guohua's words, and the image of his old man's kindness instantly appeared in his mind.

Li Guohua took a few steps to the sofa and sat down, reached out and touched the armrest of the sofa, nodded and said: "Yes, your grandfather was a very good carpenter before he opened the scenic spot, don't you know?"

"Eh... Is my grandfather so versatile?" Luo Rongning smiled, he had never heard the old man say such a thing.

Li Guohua said with a smile: "Your grandfather is really versatile. Besides being a good carpenter, he also traveled from village to village to paint posters and write slogans on the walls of the villages. He is also good at painting."

"Really..." Luo Yuning suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart, he was dexterous and could draw, and the two of them were quite alike in these two aspects.

"I got off topic from your chat, what about the things you brought me? It's the first time you come to my place. You didn't come empty-handed, did you?"

Li Guohua once again brought the topic back to the "good things" that Luo Rongning had brought to him on the phone.

"Look at what you said, am I such a stingy person? Where are the things I brought?"

While talking, Luo Rongning pointed to the bucket placed by the tea table by the aunt who opened the door for him before.

After Li Guohua followed Luo Rongning's fingers and saw the bucket on the ground, the expression on his face became extremely exciting.

"Boy Luo, come to someone's house as a guest and bring a bucket of water. Do you call this stingy? I have lived for decades, and this is the first time I have seen someone bring a bucket of water to someone else's house."

Li Guohua imitated Luo Yuning's hand gestures, pointed at the bucket, and was almost laughed angrily by him.

Luo Yuning smiled deeply and said, "Old Li, it's not a good habit to rush to conclusions."

"Oh? Could it be, what's so special about your water?" Li Guohua frowned slightly and looked at the bucket on the ground.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Li Guohua also felt that the "gift" Luo Rongning brought today was a bit strange.

As he said, no one in his right mind would bring a bucket of water to someone's house as a gift.

Luo Yuning smiled slightly, got up and took a purple sand teapot from a set of tea sets on the coffee table.

Take the teapot and walk to the bucket, unscrew the cap, and fill the teapot with water.

After pouring the water, Luo Yuning took the teapot and sat back opposite Li Guohua, reached out and took two purple sand teacups from the tea set, and poured a cup for himself and Li Guohua.

"How about a taste."

Luo Rongning stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Li Guohua.

Li Guohua picked up the teacup curiously, and first looked at it in front of his eyes. The water in the teacup was clear and translucent, no different from ordinary water.

He brought it to his lips and took a light sip.

Li Guohua's eyes lit up.
