Chapter 1039 Unexpected Guest
Compared with the Li family villa last year, it is almost a world of difference.
For a family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years, especially when the orthodox status of the family is emphasized, this kind of festival is usually very grand, and there will be a big banquet, and the whole family is invited to participate.
For example, last year, more than a hundred tables of banquets were set up in the entire Li family villa, which can be said to be very, very lively.
It's just that this year, the Li family's villa is too deserted, and this desertedness is even more obvious because of the grand scale of the Li family's villa.
Du Cheng could clearly feel the deserted feeling, but this year, Li Qingyao will spend the New Year's Eve by herself, in contrast, Guo Yi is accompanied by her senior sister and master.
Li Qingyao didn't know what Du Cheng wanted to say to her, but she quickly drove into the villa, got out of the car with Du Cheng and walked towards the hall of the villa.
There is no one else living in this main building now, and Li Qingyao lives alone in the entire huge main building. Other than that, there are a few servants living on the first floor, and the remaining few dozens of people are all Arranged to live in the next villa.
Du Cheng and Li Qingyao sat down on the sofa in the hall, and Li Qingyao waved away the servant who wanted to make tea, and made tea for Du Cheng himself.
"Qingyao, do you want to spend a Spring Festival with your father?" Du Cheng looked at Li Qingyao who was making tea, and asked after a little thought.
"Du Cheng, you...?"
Li Qingyao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked Du Cheng with a look of surprise: "Du Cheng, are you willing to release my father and the others?"
Li Qingyao knew that Du Cheng would definitely not mention this matter for no reason, so since she asked, that is to say, as long as she wanted, Du Cheng would definitely let her father and brothers come out.
She knew in her heart that others might not have this ability, but as long as Du Chengken said it, he only needed one word to release her family from prison.
Du Cheng nodded lightly, but his decision was different from what Li Qingyao had imagined.
He will not release Li Qingyao's father and brothers directly, because they deserve what they deserve, and Du Cheng will not use his power like this.
At least in terms of conscience, Du Cheng would be very sorry.
"Qingyao, I can only let your father and brothers come to celebrate the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, they have to go back to prison, and their sentence will be extended accordingly. I hope you can understand .”
Du Cheng explained very simply, if it wasn't because Li Qingyao spent the Spring Festival alone, Du Cheng would definitely not have released his father and brother.
And if he did this, it could be regarded as Du Cheng's small compensation to Li Qingyao.
After all, her father and elder brother were sent in by him himself, and it was Du Cheng who caused the Li family to fall into this state.
Therefore, without violating his own personal principles, Du Cheng made a small change in between.
After hearing what Du Cheng said, Li Qingyao was slightly disappointed at first, but soon, she was relieved.
When she came into contact with Du Cheng before, she really wanted Du Cheng to release her father and brother.
But since the contact, she has been very clear that Du Cheng is very principled, so after being with Du Cheng, she never mentioned the matter of her father and brother.
Because she was unwilling to violate Du Cheng's principles, and she was even more unwilling to arouse Du Cheng's resentment.
But now that Du Cheng was able to raise this, it was obvious that he had slightly changed his principles. Therefore, after Li Qingyao was disappointed, he replaced it with sweetness.
Because she knew in her heart that Du Cheng still cared about her very much, otherwise, how could Du Cheng change his principles.
"Du Cheng, thank you..."
Li Qingyao sincerely thanked Du Cheng, don't be greedy, since her father and brother can come back for the Spring Festival, this is already great news for Li Qingyao, she naturally won't ask for anything extravagantly.
"Fool."
Du Cheng smiled and reprimanded lightly. He never needed others' thanks for what he did, not to mention that Li Qingyao was still his woman.
As for the temporary release of Li Qingyao's father and brother from prison, Du Cheng wasn't worried.
Since he dared to release them temporarily, he naturally had absolute confidence that he could control them. As long as they settled down a bit, everything would naturally go perfectly.
Moreover, Du Cheng asked them to come out for a small purpose, which was to let them stabilize the Li family's deteriorating prestige, which could be regarded as doing Li Qingyao a small favor invisibly.
-----------------------------------------------
Because he wanted to pick up Liu Haoye, Du Cheng didn't stay at Li's house much.
He used nearly an hour to go shopping with Li Qingyao, and while she bought some clothes, she also helped to buy some new year's goods, which was a little bit of a two-person world for the two of them. .
Afterwards, Du Cheng asked Li Qingyao to take him to the airport, and called Liu Haoye.
Liu Haoye had already prepared, so he didn't make Du Cheng wait for a long time. Du Cheng arrived at the airport not long ago, and he and Lan Ting came in the car driven by Liu Qiu.
Lan Ting's stomach is very obvious now. When she and Liu Haoye came to the capital last time, Du Cheng gave her a small checkup. The baby in her stomach is very healthy. Definitely a chubby little doll.
Without saying anything at the airport, Du Cheng left Chang'an with Liu Haoye and Lan Ting.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and he still needed to go to the capital next time. After spending more than an hour with Li Qingyao, his time was running out.
Liu Haoye was very happy along the way. For him, being able to find his daughter and grandson was the happiest thing he had done this year, and he was even happier than the rebirth of the Liu family after the catastrophe.
And similarly, this year's New Year's Eve and Spring Festival will also be the happiest Spring Festival he has had in so many years. In the past, he basically spent the Spring Festival and New Year's Eve alone.
For an old man of his age, this feeling of loneliness and loneliness is what he fears the most, and starting from this year, he no longer needs to live this lonely life.
Because Lan Ting has his seed in her stomach, and next year, this child will be born, and by then, Liu Haoye will not only have a follow-up, but also a son who can send him to the end.
Of course, Liu Haoye knew very well in his heart that all of this was his blessing. God gave him a capable grandson.
If it weren't for the appearance of this grandson, I am afraid that the current Liu family would become even more impoverished than the Li family, let alone the child's affairs.
Du Cheng didn't know Liu Haoye's thoughts, because the flight time from Chang'an to Xiamen was too fast, he didn't say anything to Liu Haoye at all, and the plane landed in Yiningju's private airport .
At this time, Liu Shuyun had also returned from the outside, and she happened to come to pick up Liu Haoye, while Du Cheng himself drove the plane directly to the capital to pick up the Ye family and his party.
--------------------------------------------
The plane flew across the sky, and Sun Moon 2 landed in the military base very quickly.
At this time, the time was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and Du Cheng's calculations were very accurate in terms of time.
Ye Chengtu just came back from the military compound at this time. The old man is resting today. If he goes to Ye's villa now, he can take everyone to Xiamen with him.
What Du Cheng parked in the armament base now was that super luxury bus. Of course, he would not drive this kind of car to the Ye family villa by himself, so Du Cheng drove a base directly from the armament base. interior of the vehicle.
Afterwards, Du Cheng drove directly towards the direction of Ye's villa.
When passing by Susu's residential area on the way, Du Cheng glanced inside.
This year, Su Jian's family will celebrate the New Year in Fuzhou. Over there, the government has already arranged a house for him, and now the focus has shifted there, so if there is no accident or transfer, the Su family will be very happy. Maybe he will live in Fujian for a long time.
So, now Su Jian's home in this community is empty, otherwise, Du Cheng wouldn't mind getting out of the car and going in for a visit.
After about a few minutes, Du Cheng drove to the gate of the Ye family villa.
Just far away, Du Cheng had a look of surprise on his face.
Because outside the Ye family's villa, he saw a car that he hadn't expected, the prime minister's private seat, a red flag custom-made car.
This car is usually used by the prime minister when he travels in private, and very few people know about it, and Du Cheng happens to be one of them.
The reason is very simple, because this car happened to undergo some defensive modifications in the scientific research base a few months ago, even if it was bombarded with a bazooka, it would not pose a threat to the people inside.
And if this car is parked here at this moment, it means that the prime minister is probably in the Ye family villa at this moment.
Of course, the accident was an accident, but Du Cheng didn't stop there. After parking the car directly outside the gate of the villa, he got out of the car and walked into the Ye family villa.
At this moment, the hall of the Ye family villa is undoubtedly very lively. Du Cheng can hear the conversation between the Prime Minister, Mr. Ye and Ye Chengtu just outside the door. With these three people present, basically the rest of the people are also I won't talk nonsense.
Immediately, Du Cheng saw the three prime ministers sitting in the middle of the sofa in the lobby drinking tea and chatting. Besides Zhong Xuehua, Ye Hu, and Zhong Yueyi who were already equipped and waiting for him, the old man and Lei Hongmei were also waiting for him. in.
Just looking at this scene, Du Cheng already vaguely guessed something.
And his arrival naturally attracted everyone's close attention.
The Prime Minister even waved to him very cordially, and after patting the seat beside him, motioned for Du Cheng to sit down beside him.
"Du Cheng, I heard you moved to a new house?"
Before Du Cheng could speak, the Prime Minister asked Du Cheng in advance.
"En." Du Cheng nodded lightly. This matter is not a secret, and it is very normal for the Prime Minister to know.
The Prime Minister smiled, and then asked pointedly: "I heard from Mr. Ye that you plan to invite everyone to your new home for a New Year's Eve dinner today. How about it? You don't mind having a few more people, right?"
As he spoke, the Prime Minister pointed to himself, the elder and Lei Hongmei.
Its meaning is naturally self-evident.
In fact, Du Cheng already guessed something when he came in. Today is New Year's Eve, and he heard from Cheng Yan that Yuezheng didn't intend to go back to the capital to have the New Year's Eve dinner with the Prime Minister. Originally, Du Cheng hadn't gone yet. What are you thinking about, and looking at it now, I am afraid that Yuezheng already knows that the Prime Minister is coming to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.
However, hearing what the Prime Minister said, Du Cheng was still slightly surprised.
"Prime Minister, I can't wait for it. How could I refuse? You are the god-grandfather of my and Sixin's future children..."
Du Cheng smiled and said that the Prime Minister wanted to accept him and Gu Sixin's children as grandchildren. Basically, the Ye family knew about it, but with this relationship, it was reasonable for the Prime Minister to go to his house for the New Year's Eve.
However, he vaguely understood in his heart that one of the reasons why the prime minister went to Yiningju was probably very similar to Liu Haoyehui.
Presumably, when the prime minister spends New Year's Eve every year, there is probably no one around him. In the past, there were only two elders and Yuezheng at most. At that time, Yuezheng was abroad and rarely came back.
As for his son, it was a pain in his heart.
For such an old man who has been busy with state affairs, it is obviously a very lonely thing for two old men to spend the New Year's Eve together and eat the New Year's Eve dinner after finishing the state affairs.
But this year, the situation is a bit special.
After deciding to accept the children of Du Cheng and Gu Sixin as grandchildren, the relationship between Du Cheng and the Prime Minister was obviously a little different. Otherwise, the Prime Minister would not have made such a choice.
After hearing what Du Cheng said, the Prime Minister laughed out loud.
Not only he laughed, but also Mr. Ye and the others beside him laughed. This smile was obviously a little more warm like family affection.
Now that the decision was made, Du Cheng didn't waste any time, and said directly: "Prime Minister, the time is almost up, do you need to prepare anything, if not, let's start now, after arriving at Yiningju, Let's have a few drinks..."
"I don't have anything to prepare, Mr. Ye, Cheng Tu, what about you, if you don't have anything, let's go..."
The Prime Minister said directly, and turned his attention to Mr. Ye and Ye Chengtu.
Everyone was obviously ready, there was no need to clean up or prepare anything, they got up one after another, and walked out of the villa.
Afterwards, a group of people drove several cars together towards the armament base.
------------------------------------------
Du Chenglai was alone before, but when he was waiting to fly back to Yiningju, there were nine of them.
Inside the plane, Mr. Ye, Ye Chengtu, and the Prime Minister were all on Du Cheng's private plane for the first time.
Looking at the luxurious layout inside the plane, everyone started to drive Du Cheng's player.
As for Ye Hu's words, he directly called Du Cheng the number one richest man.
"Du Cheng, when do you plan to march towards the first seat of the world's richest man?" The Prime Minister even asked Du Cheng half-jokingly.
If it is an ordinary person, it will definitely think that this is an absolute joke, and it is a fundamentally impossible thing.
Because in this world, there is no real richest man in the world, and the currently announced richest man in the world is only superficial. The real richest man in the world should be described as a family or consortium.
However, this is only relatively speaking, in the eyes of some people, this is not something that cannot be broken.
For example, the Prime Minister, as well as Mr. Ye and Ye Chengtu.
They are obviously full of confidence in Du Cheng, and they are even more sure that as long as Du Cheng is willing, becoming the world's richest man is only a matter of time.
Even if a more radical approach is used, Du Cheng may have the opportunity to sprint for the top seat right now. ,
And this method is to sell military technical materials.
In terms of the technical materials that Du Cheng has contributed to the country, it is an inestimable wealth in itself. If this material is sold to other countries under the premise of guarantee, it will definitely cause trouble. Bombed by all countries around the world.
And under that circumstance, relying on so many technical materials in Du Cheng's hands, it is absolutely enough for Du Cheng to quickly become the richest man in the world.
Of course, this is just a radical method. If you do that, I'm afraid Du Cheng is basically tantamount to treason.
"Prime Minister, don't make fun of me. Do you think there is any point in having too much money?"
Du Cheng said with a wry smile, he had no choice but to respond to the Prime Minister's ridicule.
"You can think so, but how many people in this world can understand your thinking..."
The Prime Minister sighed with emotion, but immediately, his tone changed and he said directly: "Du Cheng, if that's the case, the 300 billion you lent to the military should be given to the military, do you have any objections? "
"no..."
However, Du Cheng refused very simply. He had completely forgotten what he said before, and said with certainty: "Money is not easy to earn, let alone 300 billion. It is okay to reduce some interest. It is absolutely impossible to give away for free..."
"..."
After hearing what Du Cheng said, everyone was speechless.
