My Hi-tech Library - Chapter 35
Chapter 35 Parents’ Plan
The next morning.
Li Yi covered his head and woke up in a daze.
After a night of hangover, Li Yi’s head felt a little uncomfortable. His head was dizzy and his thoughts were a little slow. He opened his eyes and looked around. What entered his eyes was a brand new solid wooden bed, a mahogany wardrobe, bookshelves, and desk. This was his new room.
From today onwards, their family will start a new life in this house.
Li Yi got out of bed and left the room in his slippers. He went to the living room to find water.
“Brother, you finally woke up yourself! I wanted to wake you up for breakfast!” Li Wenxiu, who was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, said in surprise when she saw Li Yi come out.
For the past two days, Li Yi had either been sleeping or eating. Li Wenxiu would have to wake him up every time. He slept like a dead pig and she had to spend a lot of energy waking him up every time.
Seeing that breakfast was porridge, Li Yi also sat at the dining table and scooped a bowl for himself. He drank it noisily. “Where’s Dad? He’s not up yet?”
“Dad woke up early. He went to the old house with Mom to pack,” Li Wenxiu replied.
“Brother, you were in the limelight yesterday. The entire family is proud of you and has high hopes for you. You have to work hard. Dad already bragged about you. Don’t give up halfway! Otherwise, Dad and Mom will be laughed at by others in the future.” Li Wenxiu thought of something and looked at Li Yi as she instructed seriously.
Upon hearing that, Li Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes. This girl was looking down on him!
“Stop worrying about me and worry about yourself! You’re in your third year of high school next year. If your results don’t go up, you’ll suffer!” Li Yi retorted.
“I’m only saying this to remind you! You don’t know how to appreciate kindness!” Li Wenxiu snorted angrily and lowered her head to continue eating the porridge.
Li Yi remained silent. He drank three bowls of porridge in one go to quench his hunger. Then, he returned to his room and “entered” the “library”.
Li Wenxiu glanced at Li Yi strangely, then cleared the dishes and washed them diligently.
Before long, Ye Huilan and Li Yanshun pushed the door open and approached with a large pile of things.
“Xiu’er, where’s your brother! Isn’t he up yet?” Ye Huilan saw Li Wenxiu washing the dishes and asked with concern.
“He’s up. He went back to his room after eating porridge! He probably went to sleep again,” Li Wenxiu turned around and guessed.
“What’s wrong with Little Yi? He’s been back for so many days. He’s cooped up in his room every day. He’s either typing on the computer or sleeping! He doesn’t act like a young man at all.” Ye Huilan frowned and nagged.
“Little Yi drank so much yesterday, he probably hasn’t recovered yet! Let him continue sleeping!” Li Yanshun hurriedly comforted.
Ye Huilan nodded and looked at Li Yanshun. She asked in confusion, “Didn’t Little Yi open a company in Yang City? He hasn’t called or communicated with his subordinates in the past few days. He’s also done with the matters here. If there’s nothing else, let him go back early to manage the company!”
“Yes! I’ll talk to him about it in the afternoon.” Li Yanshun frowned and nodded solemnly. Li Yi’s company had three to four hundred people. It’s such a big company but the boss had been home for several days without participating in the management. This would definitely cause problems.
“Also, don’t forget about Wanting. You have to hurry up about this.” Ye Huilan nodded in satisfaction and instructed solemnly.
Upon hearing that, Li Yanshun couldn’t help but smile and nod happily. “Alright, I won’t forget.”
Zhong Wanting was the daughter of his good comrade, Zhong Qiming. She was a year younger than Li Yi and studied in a vocational school. It was time for her to start an internship and find a job.
The outstanding Li Yi made Zhong Qiming want to become his father-in-law.
Therefore, under the influence of alcohol, Zhong Qiming suggested to Li Yanshun and Ye Huilan to let her daughter intern at Li Yi’s company and let them get along to see if they could matchmake the two.
This suggestion was exactly what Ye Huilan wanted.
In the past few days since Li Yi returned, he had never left the house or stepped out of the door. Even after going on the blind date, nothing happened. According to the feedback of the girl’s parents, Li Yi had never taken the initiative to do anything. He didn’t even reply to girls’ messages. Ye Huilan was just worried that she wouldn’t be able to find a future daughter-in-law. She happily agreed to Zhong Qiming’s suggestion.
Ye Huilan had seen Zhong Wanting’s daughter before. She was beautiful and had a good personality. It would be perfect if she could be her daughter-in-law.
Yi Lanshun had been friends with Zhong Qiming for dozens of years. If he could get closer, Li Yanshun would be very happy. Ye Huilan rushed to the kitchen to make lunch. Li Yanshun sat on the sofa in the living room. As he made tea, he thought about how to deal with Li Yi.
Li Wenxiu sat on the sofa and played with her cell phone. She smiled and gossiped with her best friends.
Time passed slowly. Ye Huilan carried a plate of fragrant stir-fried beef out of the kitchen and shouted at Li Wenxiu, “Xiu’er, quickly call your brother out to eat!”
“It’s so early for lunch. It’s only 11: 30!” Li Wenxiu looked at the time on her cell phone and was a little surprised. Her mother had already prepared lunch.
“I told you to go, so go quickly. Stop talking nonsense!” Ye Huilan, who was eager for a grandson, shouted angrily.
She didn’t expect her mother to flare up at her. Li Wenxiu was shocked. She ran upstairs with her long legs and rushed into Li Yi’s room angrily.
With a bang, the door was pushed open by Li Wenxiu. On the bed, her brother, Li Yi, was sleeping soundly.
“Dummy, get up!” Li Wenxiu vented her anger on Li Yi and slapped him hard on the thigh.
“Hu! It hurts!” Li Wenxiu wailed. Her hand hurt. The force hurt Li Yi just as much as it hurt her. She was also injured from hitting someone with her hand.
Li Yi woke up in a daze. He rubbed his thigh and scolded, “Are you crazy! How can you wake someone up like that?”
With that said, Li Yi got out of bed and wanted to deal with Li Wenxiu.
Li Wenxiu realized that something was wrong and turned to escape.
“Dad, save me, save me, Brother wants to hit me!” Li Wenxiu ran downstairs in a panic and hid behind her father, crying for help.
Before long, Li Yi caught up and wanted to take revenge on Li Wenxiu, but he was stopped by his father.
“What! How old are you already? Why are you still bullying your sister!” Li Yanshun questioned with a dark expression. He couldn’t let anyone hit his precious daughter, not even his own son.
Li Yi was discouraged. He glared at the grimacing Li Wenxiu. Since he was young, he suffered a lot from his father’s love for his sister. Today’s incident was just a drop in the ocean.
“Stop fooling around, the two of you. Come and eat!” Ye Huilan smiled and called from the dining table.
“Coming,” Li Yi replied and walked towards the dining table.
Soon, the family sat at the dining table and enjoyed a rich lunch happily.
“Little Yi, there’s nothing left for you to do at home now. If your company is busy, go back first!” Ye Huilan looked at Li Yi and said impatiently.
“Huh? Didn’t you arrange a blind date?” Li Yi looked at his mother, Ye Huilan, in surprise. He couldn’t understand why she had become so reasonable.
“Have you been chatting with them?” Ye Huilan glanced at Li Yi with a meaningful gaze and asked.
“Uh!” Li Yi was speechless.
“So forget it, I won’t force you!” Ye Huilan replied with a smile.
“Thank you, Mom!” Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief and thanked her gratefully.
Ye Huilan smiled and didn’t reply. She looked at Li Yanshun. Next, it was his turn.
Li Yanshun understood and continued with a smile, “Little Yi, your company employs office workers, right?”
Li Yi glanced at him in surprise and hurriedly nodded. “Yes, Dad. Is there anyone you want me to hire?”
“That’s right. Your Uncle Zhong’s daughter, Zhong Wanting. The two of you had a good time when you were young. She’s about to graduate from university! Can you arrange a position for her!” Li Yanshun asked with a smile.
Li Yi was slightly stunned. He couldn’t remember Zhong Wanting. However, his father wasn’t asking him to put her in an important position. It was still alright.
“Alright! I’ll arrange it for her.” Li Yi smiled and agreed happily.
“Brother, I want to go too!” Li Wenxiu hurriedly reminded.
Li Yi had yet to take revenge for just now and Li Wenxiu had already started making requests. Li Yi glared at Li Wenxiu and said fiercely, “If you want to go, you can only be a cleaner.”
“Mom! Help me out!” Li Wenxiu asked Ye Huilan for help.
“It’s quite suitable to be a cleaner. It’s just nice for you to practice your housework skills.” Ye Huilan chuckled and nodded in agreement.
“Dad!” Li Wenxiu looked at Li Yanshun pitifully.
Li Yanshun smiled bitterly. “My good daughter, you’re begging the wrong person. That’s your brother’s company.
“If you want to go, apologize to your brother!” Li Yanshun said helplessly.
Li Wenxiu pouted and nodded obediently.
