I have a role in the heavens
Chapter 2426: Taken advantage of, everyone in the small courtyard
"You kid also said that every time you come to me, nothing good comes of it. You encouraged me to invest in this inn, and so far I haven't recovered the cost!"
As Li Qingyan walked in the village, he looked around and saw a completely different culture. This was the local village culture, with the weight of time and the atmosphere of history.
"Don't worry. Although Youfeng Inn has not recovered the cost yet, the income is pretty good. There are almost no vacancies. It will take another year at most to recover the cost. Don't you suffer a loss?"
Xie Zhiyao had a bit of confidence on his face. Unlike Li Qingyan when he resigned, Li Qingyan wanted to see the world. He wanted to stick to his hometown and help the villagers get rich. There was often a shortage of funds, so he found Li Qingyan, the one who was taken advantage of, often tricked and encouraged Li Qingyan to invest.
Although Li Qingyan has never been here, 7 can still influence many places in this village, and he has shares in many industries in the village.
"When you invite me this time, you're not just asking me to come on a trip, are you?"
Li Qingyan rolled his eyes and glanced at Xie Zhiyao with some disgust. They were good friends, and no one knew each other well. This kid must not have held it in well, and he must have another purpose.
"Hey, you still understand me!"
"The embroidery workshop in our village can no longer operate. I want to buy it, but we still need some investment!"
Xie Zhiyao stopped, shamelessly approached Li Qingyan, smiled extremely flatteringly, and cautiously probed.
"You are a very rich man, can you invest a little?"
"I know you have bad intentions. Every time you come to me, you are always thinking about the money in my pocket!"
"Xie Zhiyao, I asked you, can you, instead of always catching a sheep, can you change to someone else?"
Li Qingyan showed a look of helplessness on his face as he made friends carelessly, and kept complaining that Xie Zhiyao was dishonest and always cheated him.
"No, you are the richest man I have ever seen. This amount of money is nothing to you!"
"If you don't help me, I'll have to go to the bank for a loan!"
Xie Zhiyao had a pitiful expression on his delicate face, looking at Li Qingyan like a coquettish person.
Li Qingyan's whole body trembled, goosebumps appeared on his skin, he quickly took a few steps back, and said in an extremely disgusting manner.
"ah!"
"It's so unbearable that you, a grown man, act like a spoiled brat!"
"Xie Zhiyao, if you show such a disgusting expression again, I will leave immediately and never care about you again!"
Xie Zhiyao stopped when he saw that he was good, and immediately changed back to the look of a cold male god, with a serious look on his face, and continued.
"This embroidery workshop has been in my village for many years. The embroidery teacher in the workshop is an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage and has superb skills. If I acquire the embroidery workshop, I am confident that I will run it well and I will never let you lose money!"
Xie Zhiyao has an extremely confident face. He has a sense of mission to protect the craftsmanship of his hometown. He believes that as long as the craftsmanship is good, the embroidery workshop can be revitalized.
"Are you the inheritor of non-heritage? That does have investment value!"
"Okay, I'll invest this time, and you guys have to manage it well for me. If my investment is in vain, you will reap the rewards!"
Li Qingyan shook his head and sighed. Although the investment in the embroidery workshop would not be a loss, it would not make much money.
If Li Qingyan invested this money in the stock market, he could have doubled it several times. He still chose to invest because of his friend Xie Zhiyao.
Xie Zhiyao is a grateful person who loves his hometown very much. He hopes to make his hometown a better place, so that young people who go out to work can return to their hometown, so that empty-nest elderly people and left-behind children will no longer be alone.
"Boy, you are really being taken advantage of. It's a thankless job. It's not easy for your village to develop!"
Li Qingyan shook his head and looked at the ecstatic Xie Zhiyao. He kept attacking the other party's enthusiasm, but in his heart he admired Xie Zhiyao's character very much.
"I'm just doing my little bit. Our village is different from the big cities. Young people have gone out to work, leaving only the elderly and children. If the village can develop, young people can make money and support themselves at home. Family, the elderly have their children to take care of them, and the children have their parents to care for them, so I resigned and returned to my hometown, hoping to develop the village so that everyone can make money without leaving home!"
Xie Zhiyao's face has an inexplicable brilliance, his expression is bright, his eyes are firm, and he has a firm belief in his heart. His behavior may be a bit silly in the eyes of others, but it is worthy of admiration. This is why Li Qingyan is willing to be friends with him.
"Okay, Great Sage, there is no need to say any more. I have promised you to invest. If you don't leave quickly, the sun will set!"
Li Qingyan had a bit of impatience on his face, but his deep eyes were full of appreciation. He pushed Xie Zhiyao's shoulder and said with a smile.
In the distance, the sun sets in the west, and the orange-red sunshine dyes half of the sky red. It is bright and gorgeous, magnificent and shocking, as if it indicates that the prosperous days will eventually come.
The signboard of the Windy Courtyard is hung high, swaying and dancing like wind chimes with the breeze, as if to welcome new guests.
Li Qingyan followed Xie Zhiyao into the small courtyard. He was surrounded by flowers and plants, and the fragrance overflowed, refreshing his heart and mind. He felt that his whole body relaxed, and his whole person felt particularly comfortable from the inside.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, with shawl hair and a bit of decadence, sat cross-legged on a futon, with his five hearts facing up, meditating. When he heard footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes and looked. When Li Qingyan and Xie Zhiyao arrived, they frowned slightly and asked softly.
"Mr. Xie, why are you here?"
"Is this a new guest? He's a handsome guy!"
The middle-aged man stood up from the futon, with a warm smile on his face, and approached Li Qingyan. His eyes were curious, and he looked Li Qingyan up and down, seeming to be very interested in him.
Xie Zhiyao seemed to be very familiar with this middle-aged man. He said hello first and then introduced him to Li Qingyan.
"Lao Li, this is the tenant of Youfeng Courtyard. We all call him Mr. Ma!"
"Master Ma, this is my friend Li Qingyan. He is staying in Yunmiao Village for a while and is here for tourism!"
Li Qingyan glanced at Xie Zhiyao with a half-smile. What was he doing here? Don't you know this kid? He was completely deceived into investing by this kid. He turned tourism into attracting investment. This guy didn't want to go. Being an official is simply a sign of humiliation.
"Hello, Mr. Ma, I am Li Qingyan!"
Li Qingyan nodded to Mr. Ma and said hello very kindly. When they met by chance, they did not get close or alienated, and kept a certain distance.
After saying hello, Li Qingyan and Xie Zhiyao went upstairs with their suitcases and came to the room that Xie Zhiyao specially reserved for Li Qingyan.
This is a room facing the street. When the window is opened, you can see the streets of Yunmiao Village. It is well-lit and transparent from north to south. It is the largest room in the entire Youfeng Inn, with an area of 40 to 50 square meters. It is more than enough for one person to live in.
"Look at how the room looks like. If you need anything, just let me know!"
Xie Zhiyao put down his suitcase and moved his arms. Li Qingyan's suitcase was not light, so it was difficult for him to lift it up alone. Li Qingyan was angry that he had tricked him into investing, and he did not reach out to help. His arms were a little weak.
“Looks good, fairly clean and bright!”
Li Qingyan didn't have many requirements for the accommodation conditions, as long as it was clean. He showed a relatively satisfied look, which made Xie Zhiyao secretly breathe a sigh of relief. What happened this time was that he did something unfair and deceived Li Qingyan. After coming over, the fundamental purpose was to get Li Qingyan to invest in Yunmiao Village and help develop the village.
Li Qingyan packed his luggage and put away all the things he usually used, and then went downstairs with Xie Zhiyao, preparing to have dinner together.
In the yard, Mr. Ma sat cross-legged on the futon again, closed his eyes and began to meditate. However, he did not seem to be in the state. He seemed to hear the footsteps of Li Qingyan and his two men. His ears trembled slightly, and his face showed a bit of restlessness. , obviously he has no real introduction to meditation, he is easily disturbed by the external environment, and his heart is not peaceful.
"Master Ma, you are too confused and are not suitable for meditation at all!"
"If you want to meditate, you must first calm your mind and tie your mind. You should calm yourself down first before you can truly enter the state of concentration."
Mr. Ma suddenly opened his eyes. He was wearing a loose Taoist robe and did not have any aura of purity. There was a look of surprise on his face. He stared at Li Qingyan and asked curiously.
"Do you also know how to meditate?"
"I just know a little bit about it, but I don't really understand it!"
Li Qingyan waved his hand. He just gave some casual instructions. He didn't want to show off his holiness in front of others, so he said it very humbly.
Xie Zhiyao also looked at Li Qingyan with surprise. He never knew that Li Qingyan actually knew how to meditate, so he was a little surprised.
Li Qingyan just exchanged a few words with Mr. Ma casually, and then walked out of the windy courtyard with Xie Zhiyao and headed towards Xie Zhiyao's house. Obviously, tonight's reception banquet was to be eaten at home.
Only true friends can eat at each other's homes. This is a family friendly thing. Ordinary friends will eat outside when they invite them to dinner, and they don't want the other party to enter their home.
Li Qingyan followed Chen Zhiyao into a small courtyard. There was a wooden table in the small courtyard. An old man with gray hair looked at the two of them kindly. This was Xie Zhiyao's grandmother. Grandma Xie, a Miao woman with a very strong personality when she was young, dared to love and hate, and she had stolen Xie Zhiyao's grandfather back then.
Next to him was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a somewhat rebellious look on his face. This was Xie Zhiyuan's half-brother. It was a headache, so he was sent to Yunmiao Village, hoping that his brother Xie Zhiyao could help discipline him.
"Grandma, this is my friend Li Qingyan!"
"Ayuan, you haven't called anyone yet!"
Xie Zhiyao introduced Li Qingyan to his family. Grandma Xie was very enthusiastic, with a smile on her face, and was kind and kind. However, Xie Zhiyao stood still, looking a little impatient. Xie Zhiyao slapped her, Xie Zhiyuan shouted reluctantly.
"Brother Kiyohiko!"
Li Qingyan quickly greeted Grandma Xie very respectfully.
"Hello, grandma, I'm Li Qingyan!"
Grandma Xie was very happy about Li Qingyan's arrival. Li Qingyan was the only friend Xie Zhiyao brought home for dinner in the past few years. She specially prepared a sumptuous dinner, which included some local specialties, such as spicy and sour fish. Various fungi, as well as some local wild vegetables, are green, healthy and delicious, making Li Qingyan extremely happy to eat.
Of course, with good food, good wine is indispensable. Xie Ah Nai brews some plum wine every year. The taste is fruity and mellow. Although the alcohol content is not high, it can still make people drunk.
Li Qingyan and Chen Zhiyao exchanged cups and chatted about their experiences in the past few years. Li Qingyan talked about the customs and customs of various places, while Xie Zhiyao talked about how to build his hometown and help the villagers get rich. , one has seen the world, and the other has guarded his own world, but they also had a great time chatting.
It was already half way through the night, and the two people who had not seen each other for a long time ended. The bright silver moon hung in the dark night sky, and the stars were clearly visible. It was bright and dreamy. This was a scene that could not be seen in big cities. It could only be seen in the clouds. Only villages like Miao Village that still maintain their original style can see such a gorgeous starry sky.
Li Qingyan walked leisurely on the deserted street under the stars and moon, feeling a little tipsy, and returned to the windy courtyard. The entire courtyard was silent, and only one house still had the lights on. , emitting a hazy light.
The owner of the room seemed to have heard Li Qingyan going upstairs. The door opened slightly, and a pair of bright eyes peeked out. He seemed to be full of vigilance, thinking that a thief had entered the small courtyard, and was hesitating. Do you want to call the police yourself?
Li Qingyan naturally sensed the peeping eyes, and with a sunny smile on his face, he said to the owner behind the crack in the door.
"Hello, my name is Li Qingyan. I am the new tenant of Youfeng Courtyard. Please take good care of me in the future!"
When the owner of the room heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not open the door and come out to greet Li Qingyan. Instead, he observed extremely carefully and spoke in an extremely low voice.
"Hello, I am Damai, and I am also a tenant of Youfeng Xiaoyuan!"
After saying that, Damai closed the door directly, leaving Li Qingyan who was a little embarrassed. Although he knew that Damai was so introverted, he was simply afraid of society.
Li Qingyan shook his head with a wry smile. This was the first time a woman had been so cold to him, which made him feel a little bit amused.
Li Qingyan took a step forward, opened his room, lay down on his bed and rested.
The next day, there was a noise outside, which made Li Qingyan wake up. Feeling the warm sunshine, he stood up and opened the window, looking at the villagers who had started a busy day on the street outside. The breath of life hit his face, making people feel a sense of An extremely solid feeling.
Li Qingyan washed up and then went downstairs. In the small courtyard, several people were sitting outside chatting. When they saw Li Qingyan, they immediately turned their attention to him.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Qingyan. I just checked into Youfeng Xiaoyuan yesterday and got together with friends. It was already very late when I came back, so I didn't get to know you all!"
"Hu Youyu, you can call me Lao Hu! I'm a bar singer. If you have a chance in the future, you can come to the bar and I'll buy you a drink!"
A man with an artistic youthful air said with a smile. He was quite handsome and had a very lively personality. It was obvious that he was a very expressive person. He was the first to introduce himself.
"Lin Na, you can call me Nana! I work in a cafe and am a barista!"
Li Na has a somewhat cold personality. She looks very distant and seems to be wary of strangers. There is a bit of vigilance in her bright eyes, like a deer who is afraid of being hurt.
Li Qingyan nodded to the two of them and responded with a smile. He glanced at Mr. Ma who was sitting on the futon. He had already seen this before and there was no need to get to know him again. His eyes moved and looked at a girl next to Nana. .
This girl was wearing a loose white sportswear. She had a delicate appearance. Her long black hair was tied up behind her back. She was a bit bookish, quiet and shy. She looked at Li Qingyan secretly with her eyes and did not speak. .
Li Qingyan walked to sit next to Hu Youyu, with a bright smile that made people feel extremely comfortable, and said softly.
"You must be Damai, you should have seen me last night, and finally saw your true face!"
Nana and others looked at Li Qingyan in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
"When I came back last night, Damai seemed to be still asleep, and we got to know each other through the crack in the door!"
Nana looked at Damai and nodded. She knew that Damai was shy and easily shy, so she helped her explain.
"Da Mai is an online writer. He usually likes to write at night. He is introverted and has some social anxiety, so that's why he is like this!"
Li Qingyan nodded and smiled at Damai kindly. It seemed that this smile made Damai less nervous, and he spoke in a low voice.
"You came back too late last night. I haven't seen you before. I was worried that you were a bad person, so I didn't dare to open the door!"
"Da Mai, have you ever seen such a handsome and handsome bad guy?"
Hu Youyu had an exaggerated expression, pointed at Li Qingyan's face, and said jokingly.
"If I had Lao Li's handsome face, I would be famous all over the world without any singing skills!"
"Those young talents in the entertainment industry are not as good as old Li Junlang. It's really enviable!"
There was envy on Hu Youyu's face, and it was obvious that what he said was true. He deeply understood the importance of appearance to people. Although he was a bit handsome, he couldn't rely on his face alone to make a living.
"Lao Li, what do you do? I know many agents. If you are interested in developing in the entertainment industry, I can be your introducer. With your looks, as long as you go there, you will definitely become a fan. Countless, those female fans will clamor to give you a baby, even fame and fortune can’t stop you!”
Li Qingyan laughed out loud when he heard this, but there was no trace of excitement on his face as he said softly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lao Hu. I am traveling around now. I am a freelancer. I can still make ends meet, but I have no interest in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry!"
Hu Youyu had a look of regret on his face. It would be a waste for such a good-looking person like Li Qingyan not to become a star.
Nana and Damai also looked at Li Qingyan's face secretly. Li Qingyan was indeed extremely handsome, and none of the stars in the entertainment industry were as good as Li Qingyan. For the first time, I deeply agree with Hu Youyu’s words. This person who doesn’t look like a celebrity is wasted!
While everyone was talking, Xie Zhiyao opened the door to the small courtyard and walked in. He put some breakfast in his hand, put it on the table, and said with a smile.
"Everyone hasn't had breakfast yet. I cooked some rice noodles at home. Let's try it together!"
Seeing this, Nana and Damai stood up and walked towards the kitchen, took out some bowls and chopsticks, and helped everyone scoop up the rice noodles.
