The Heart of a Smith

When Li Sui first arrived in the U.S. two years ago, he learned that there was such a charity organization at a school event that provided matching services for people in need of organs all the year round. He doesn't want to let go of a demand data, even if it is a one in ten thousand chance.

Unfortunately, two years later, the miracle did not appear.

Li Sui left the airport with his luggage. The company's car was already waiting on the side of the road. He opened the door and found that it was Xiao Zhao, an acquaintance.

"I came here last week." Xiao Zhao didn't change his status because of his change of status, and he treated him as a friend, which made Li Sui feel relieved. "Boss Lu originally planned to come by himself, but over there If you are too busy and say to send someone over to take over, who am I?"

"I'm afraid it will trouble you all this time."

Xiao Zhao waved his hand: "It's a small matter."

Only two years later, there were new changes in this city. Li Sui didn't go directly to the hotel, but went to the construction site to take a look around. He and Lu Shang had been here before, so they were familiar with the road.The surrounding area of ​​the Golden Sands Coast has also gradually developed, and there is a tendency to form a business circle. The beach, where no one was seen before, is crowded with tourists. Everyone can see that this land is becoming more and more valuable.After it is completed and opened, I don't know what kind of lively scene it will be.

All of this is largely based on a series of long-term strategies of land merchants. The policy is the first, the interests are the temptation, and both soft and hard. Even the villagers in the nearby fishing village consciously built the village into a tourist cultural village. At a glance, you can see several seafood cities. .

The news that Li Sui came to supervise the work quickly spread throughout the project team. Many people here have seen him. At that time, he was just an ordinary young man who followed Lu Shang. Now two years later, he has suddenly become their partner. boss.Lu Shang did not publicize his identity to the outside world, but the fact that he lived in the same room, ate and slept together could not be concealed, and the rumors were rumored, and the people below knew to some extent.

At first, most people didn't think that he could accomplish anything. At most, he just went through the motions and gave an explanation to the boss and shareholders, so they didn't take it seriously, but soon everyone discovered that Li Sui was not just here to inspect, he was completely take over.

From finance to the construction team, he almost never let go of anyone in the interest chain, and strictly implemented the handover according to the contents on the list.Lu Shang gave him a good start. The rectification two years ago has still affected the project. Many people still dare not neglect their small actions. They have restrained a lot, and he has taken over much more smoothly.

Obviously, the foundation of this project, Lu Shang, has been laid firmly for him, and it is up to him how to play it later.

Li Sui was very devoted to his work, and he couldn't stop when he was busy. After nightfall, he came back to look at his phone and found a missed call from Lu Shang, so he hurried back.

It was connected after only one ring. Lu Shang should have fallen asleep, and there was a trace of laziness in his voice: "Are you still busy?"

"Just got off work." Li Sui turned off the computer, put his things in his bag and walked out, "Are you asleep?"

"Well, there's nothing to do." The person on the other end of the phone should have turned over, and the sound of cloth rubbing came through the receiver, which made Li Sui's heart itch. The hot air seemed to be able to scoop him into his arms as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Lu Shang," Li Sui walked out of the building, cars were passing by on the street, pedestrians were talking and laughing, he stopped in place, raised his head and chuckled, "I'm starting to miss you."

The person on the other end of the phone also smiled slightly, and a pleasant voice came: "What do you think, let's hear it."

"I want to... hold you in my arms and wrap them around your waist," Li Sui said in a low voice, leaning against the phone, "kiss your eyes, nose, mouth..."

"and then?"

"Then, put your hand into your clothes," Li Sui said with a smile, "From the shoulders to the chest, and then to the lower abdomen, touch it inch by inch..."

Lu Shang's low laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Yes."

"Hold again... caress... gently..."

The voice on the other end of the phone changed, and the laughter was obviously unsteady, even a little gasping.

"Press and hold the front end, and then release it," Li Sui said in a hoarse voice, and when he looked up, he saw a cafe and walked in without hesitation, "Is it comfortable?"

"Hmm..." Panting heavily, "You can go a little faster."

"Then put both hands together..." Li Sui pushed open the door of the cafe and walked straight to the bathroom, "Relax your body...don't stop..."

The panting sound was far away from the receiver, probably because the phone was thrown aside, Li Sui closed the bathroom door, looked at his lower body in poor condition, and his breathing was all messed up.

"Lu Shang, give me your hand," Li Sui bewitched, "Shall we go together?"

"...Here you are." said with difficulty.

Li Sui closed his eyes, pictured a familiar face in his mind, and began to move his hands.

The jazz music of the cafe was played softly from the stereo above the head. It was the middle of the month, and the moonlight outside the window was thick, without clouds, and the moonlight shone on the ground without any scruples, like a layer of frost.

Li Sui panted lightly, and the other end of the phone gradually quieted down after a low moan, and asked, "Lu Shang, are you asleep?"

There was only regular breathing on the other end, very light.

Li Sui kissed the microphone and said softly, "Good night."

He hung up the phone, glanced at the place where he was still exaggerating, and sighed softly.

After washing his hands, he passed by the bar, and a waiter glanced at him, probably as a pedestrian borrowing the toilet, so Li Sui simply walked over, bought a cup of Americano coffee, packed it up and went back to work overtime.

He was very sure that he couldn't wait for a month, so he had to hurry up and finish work early and go back.

Thanks to his experience in helping Lu Shang handle documents, Li Sui quickly got on the right track. He knew Lu Shang's work habits very well, and when he brought many things in front of him, he could tell what was going on with just a few glances, saving money virtually. a lot of time.

Only when he got to the post did he realize how important orthodox learning is to a manager. Many seemingly insignificant details contained key turning points. It was precisely because he had learned this knowledge in advance that he could avoid a lot of losses. .No wonder Lu Shang insisted on letting him go abroad to study. When people have a wide range of knowledge, their horizons will be broadened, and they will be more comprehensive and forward-looking when considering problems.On the other hand, having a superior academic qualifications is also more convincing when managing subordinates.

Two weeks later, Li Sui was already familiar with the environment here. Today he and a group of management went to inspect the construction site, during which time he chatted with a designer.

"The environment of Jinsha Coast is really good. In my opinion, it would be even better if Taoyuan Island can also be included under its banner. The selling point of going out to sea for treasure hunting alone can attract many tourists."

"Taoyuan Island?" Li Sui asked.

"It's the uninhabited island thirty miles away. The right to contract is open. Before, a rich businessman contracted it to be an experimental base. As a result, half of the development went bankrupt. Afterwards, it changed hands a few times, but failed for various reasons. , anyway, it hasn’t been captured yet.”

Li Sui fell into silence. He had heard Liu Xingming and Lu Shang talk about this island last year. A few people planned to board a boat to see it, but they failed to go. Now that someone mentioned it, he couldn't help being curious: "Can I go up to see it?"

"Yes, there is a boat tomorrow morning, I will accompany you."

The next morning, Li Sui went to the island together with several evaluations. The island is not big, but the environment is very good. An artificial river was dug in the middle, and many tropical trees were planted on both sides. The large-scale buildings seem to be experimental bases and villas.

They looked around each other for a while, and then the intermediary came over in a hurry: "Bosses, I'm late, I'm sorry, there happened to be a big boss who came to visit the island today, so I'm neglecting everyone."

"Your place is quite popular." Li Sui said.

The intermediary wiped the hot sweat from his forehead: "How can it be, there are many people who have seen it, and the one who can afford it..." He compared a "zero", "This number."

"Is it expensive?"

The intermediary chuckled and whispered the number in his ear, Li Sui's expression moved slightly: "This price is too outrageous."

"You don't know that this number is not only for the island, but also includes the nearby marine resources. The contract period is long, and it is actually a good deal. It's just that most people really can't afford this price, and those who can afford it are unwilling to take the risk."

Li Sui felt very sorry, this place is indeed beautiful, and the temperature is pleasant, without winter, it is very suitable for Lu Shang's physique that is afraid of the cold, and he also likes fishing, if he can buy it, he can build a small villa, open up a piece of wasteland, and plant some flowers and plants Vegetables, sleeping and fishing every day, taking a walk by the river and looking at the sea when you have nothing to do, not to mention how pleasant it is.

Just as he was thinking about it, the agent answered the phone, and he didn't know what was said there. He jumped up and said excitedly, "What, he wants to buy it?!"

The whole group looked at each other, the agent hung up the phone, and held Li Sui's hand tightly: "You, you are really my lucky star. This island has been idle for more than two years, and it is finally sold today."

Li Sui said, "Who wants to buy it?"

"It's the big boss who just boarded the ship today, come, I'll take you to meet him."

Driven by curiosity, Li Sui followed, but when the door opened, he saw the legendary "big boss", his eyes met, and he blurted out almost at the same time: "Why is it you again?"

Sima Jingrong was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst out laughing, put his arm around Li Sui's shoulder, and introduced: "My brother, a fateful friendship!"

"What are you doing here?" Li Sui frowned.

"Buy an island. My dad just gave me a sum of money. I thought about it and had nowhere to spend it, so I wanted to buy something. I just came here for diving. I saw an island for sale here, so I decided to buy it."

Li Sui couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You buy whatever you want, does your dad know?"

"He doesn't care about me, he only cares about my brother."

Li Sui noticed that he no longer called Sima Yan directly by his name, but called him "my younger brother".

"Why did you buy the island?" Li Sui asked.

Sima Jingrong rubbed his hands: "I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet, maybe it's a rental."

Li Sui: "..."

Seeing his indescribable expression, Sima Jingrong asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Yes," Li Sui said, "I suggest you rent it to me."

Sima Jingrong thought about it and patted him on the shoulder: "Good idea!"

"I contribute the money, you contribute, and the money we earn will be shared equally!" The more Sima Jingrong thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, "I don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to worry about the money. This kills two birds with one stone!"

Li Sui originally wanted to amuse him, but he didn't expect him to be serious, so he was speechless for a while.Sima Jingrong made up his own mind on the sidelines, determined that Li Sui was the subject of the matter, and greeted him: "That's it, that's it, Mr. Broker, come and sign the contract, and pay after signing."

When he came down from the island, Sima Jingrong's enthusiasm had not subsided, and he kept nagging all the way.Although this amount of money is a lot, it is really nothing to the Sima family, but after all, it was spent because of his few words of ranting. Li Sui felt somewhat sorry, and said seriously: "I will rent it first, and pay the rent annually. After two years, when the facilities on the island are completed, the price will be re-evaluated, and then you can sell it to me."

"Why are you meeting me?" Sima Jingrong was puzzled, "You are also a shareholder of Musheng, and last year's dividend alone was more than that."

He didn't mention that Li Sui had forgotten that he still had shares in Musheng, which was invested by Lu Shang in his name the year before last.Lu Shang didn't mention the dividend to him, but since it was Lu Shang's decision, he naturally wouldn't ask too much.

"Thanks in advance." Li Sui said to Sima Jingrong.

When friends got together, they went to eat hot pot together at noon. Sima Jingrong ordered hot-boiled mutton. As soon as the pot was served, Li Sui froze. He remembered that it was Lu Shang's favorite.

"I'm so tired of eating seafood for a few days." Sima Jingrong came over with a plate and put it on the table, "Why are you in a daze, you can be in a daze even after eating."

Li Sui came back to his senses, staring at the big chili peppers in the dish, puzzled: "It's all chili peppers, how do you eat them?"

"Is there anything you can't eat? It tastes spicy when it's spicy. I don't like spicy food." Sima Jingrong poured the mutton into it, and it was funny to think about it, "It's the first time we two confront each other because of the taste. "

Li Sui recalled the past, and felt a little emotional: "At that time, I thought that Lu Shang didn't like spicy food, but I found out later that he couldn't eat it."

"Hey." Speaking of Lu Shang, Sima Jingrong remembered, "How did you two become? Did you do as I told you?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Sui's mouth, and he nodded: "I gave him a fishing rod, he likes it very much, and he can't put it down."

"Oh, let me just say it," Sima Jingrong laughed, patted his chest and boasted, "How is it, buddy, is he doing things well?"

Li Sui just laughed, only he knew that Lu Shang didn't forgive him because of a fishing rod, but he never blamed him.

The two of them were halfway through their meal, when Li Sui answered the phone, it was from Uncle Yuan, when Li Sui saw the number, his heart sank immediately, and he had a bad premonition.

"Uncle Yuan," he hurriedly got up and walked to a quiet place, "What's wrong with Lu Shang?"

"It's not him," Uncle Yuan said, "It's Zuo Chao."

"Brother Zuo?"

"Yes, Zuo Chao took people to the trade area to collect the car this morning, met Liu Xingtian's people, and there was a conflict between the two sides, and the police were called there, Zuo Chao was too straight-tempered, so he resisted arrest directly, and was taken away by the armed police who came , now he is in the detention center." Uncle Yuan said, "Mr. Lu should be taking a nap, but he didn't answer the phone when I called. You all know each other well. I want to ask your opinion first."

"What did Lawyer Xu say?" Li Sui asked.

"I went to negotiate at the first time, but the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake, and the matter is very difficult. Liu Xingtian has been waiting for today's opportunity for a long time, and will not let him go so easily."

"Didn't the Lu family manage the trade zone before?"

Uncle Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Uh, yes... It used to be our territory, but Mr. Lu sold it to Liu Xingtian later."

Seeing the difference in his tone, Li Sui suddenly remembered what Lu Shang seemed to have said the day he went to find Li Yan in the outer suburbs two years ago, and his heart trembled: "Is it... related to me."

He didn't use a questioning tone, and Uncle Yuan didn't deny it, he just said: "Zuo Chao is used to being in the trade zone, and now he has suddenly become someone else's territory, he naturally can't swallow this breath, the most important thing now is that he has a lot of criminal records He has never done anything like this, but he has injured many people with black boxing in his early years, if he really wants to be sentenced, it may be very difficult for him to come out."

This matter is indeed tricky. Liu Xingtian will not attack Zuo Chao for no reason. This matter is obviously premeditated for a long time. Everyone knows that Zuo Chao is Lu Shang's right-hand man. He did this just to break Lu Shang's sharp claws .Liu Xingtian is quite powerful, and he is not someone who can be dealt with casually. He is also a shareholder of Dongyan. He and the Lu family have some overlapping backgrounds, resulting in many acquaintances sharing the same. To put it bluntly, this is a seesaw of power war.

Li Sui weighed it up and said, "I'll tell you about this, and I'll fly back right away, probably at nine o'clock in the evening."

"Should I tell Mr. Lu about this first?"

Li Sui thought about it, but he couldn't hide it, and with his ability and connections, he couldn't compete with Liu Xingtian at the moment, and Lu Shang had to come forward in the end.

"Tell him, but also tell him I'm working on it and take it easy."
