Chapter 1603: The Little Old Man
"Thank you for everything you did at the meeting." On the phone, Li Zitao said to Davis and Dick.
"This is what I should do." Davis' voice came.
Dick's voice came from another mic, "We made a deal, that's all."
Using multiple lines and multiple telephones for conference calls has become the norm in Li Zitao's life.
Wherever he goes, he will make arrangements in advance to ensure that there is not only one route where he stays.
"Dick, my promise to you is still valid. I hope you will not be too harsh when it needs to be fulfilled." Li Zitao said pretending to be distressed.
To gain the support of the two of them, it is natural to pay a considerable price.
Davis got what he wanted, Dick got nothing, but he got a promise.
He will have Lee's vote for him in his time of need.
Li Zitao did not want to see conflicts between them, and after careful consideration, he also believed that maintaining the status quo was the best decision.
If he really wanted to be a walk-away jerk, he should have done so sooner.
Although there were some twists and turns in this vacation, fortunately, the result was good.
"Father, shall we still go fishing today?" Yixi ran over excitedly, holding the fishing rod that Li Zitao made for him in his hand.
It is made of bamboo and wood. Li Zitao made it himself and gave it to Yixi as a gift from his father.
Izzy liked this gift made by himself very much, and cherished it more than any gift he had received before.
This was made by his father himself, which means a lot to him.
"Of course, we can go now." Li Zitao took his hand and walked out of the office. He didn't expect that Izzy would be obsessed with fishing.
For a child, this is no easy task.
Because they tend to be passionate about one thing for 5 minutes, which is already a rare situation, and then they will throw their previous hobbies into outer space.
But Yisi was different. His enthusiasm for fishing lasted for two weeks, and he never thought of leaving.
Every time the fishing time belongs to father and son, this kid will ask himself a cup of tea and a few snacks...
Taste your own tea and snacks comfortably, and by the way, patiently stare at the floats on the lake, and the fine waves caused by fallen leaves on the water.
Sometimes he even suspects that there is an old soul hidden in Issi's young body.
Li Zitao admired his patience, sitting for hours or even a whole day without feeling bored.
It's just that Celia is very dissatisfied with this. He hopes that the child can run and play happily, instead of sitting by the lake and enjoying fishing all day long like his grandfather.
"Don't you two want to go out and have some fun, ride horses, play ball, or go hiking and hunting?"
When she got home from work and saw the two sitting by the lake fishing again, Celia really thought they needed some constructive advice.
"That's right, I think we need a hike." Li Zitao immediately jumped up from his chair.
He had to admit that Izzy was completely ahead of him when it came to patience.
It's just his vanity and self-esteem as a father that prevents him from admitting defeat.
Celia's presence couldn't have come at a better time, and he could finally escape the boredom of sitting by the lake for some fun exercise.
A hike is imminent, and Li Zitao doesn't want him to turn into a little old man, "We should pack our bags now."
"Do you have to go?" Izzy expressed reluctance.
"Yes, proper exercise is good for health." Li Zitao took his hand and walked towards the castle. If he stayed any longer, he would be the first to collapse.
"Celia, dear, do you have time to go with us?" Strike while the iron is hot, Li Zitao planned to pack his luggage and set off immediately.
"Is there any goal?" Celia looked at him curiously, it was not his style to be so unplanned.
But it was good news for Celia to see them out and about.
"How about Shuiqinggang?" Li Zitao had already found a suitable hiking spot on the map,
It is located in a beautiful suburb in the west of Berlin.
"I don't know, because I've never been there, but it sounds good." Celia nodded after hesitation; "Okay, let's go together."
"This is really great, maybe we should bring some food." Li Zitao said.
Celia took off her coat and said, "I'll get ready."
With the help of the servants, they quickly prepared the things they needed for the hike.
Some food and water, wrapped in tinfoil and packed into a backpack.
Simple clothes, and a stall that can be used for a picnic, and a 98k rifle, they are ready for departure.
"Can I learn to use it?" Boys' hobbies were always the same, and Izzy was just as excited to see a gun as any other kid.
"Of course." Li Zitao was happy to teach him how to use a rifle.
Celia said in disbelief, "Charlie~" and quickly pulled him aside and said, "He's just a child, only eight years old."
"Haney, don't worry, he is mature enough." Li Zitao said pointedly.
Celia said speechlessly; "I want you to take him away from home, but not in such a dangerous way."
"Okay!" Li Zitao spread his hands speechlessly: "I'll make sure everything will be careful, aren't you still following me?"
Thinking that she was by her side, Celia felt a little relieved, and she was also glad that she gave up her afternoon work and decided to go out with them.
Otherwise, I don't know how far they will go.
The gun had been in Izzy's hands since entering the mountain, and it seemed a little big for an eight-year-old.
Issy, who carried it on his shoulder, had to grab the handle of the gun with his hands and tilt it to the ground to ensure that he would not trip over it.
Walking along the winding path to the depths of the forest, Issie waited eagerly for the appearance of prey, and this was a good time to hunt deer.
"It seems that there will be no prey here." After walking for more than an hour, they didn't see any beasts except for the occasional birds.
Instead, I met a family who also came to have a picnic. They said that it is not a good day for hunting, and the prey are all running to warm places or preparing to hibernate.
Obviously, they picked the wrong time.
"This is so boring." Izzy's patience was fading, and she kicked the weeds on the side of the road as a vent.
At this moment, Li Zitao stopped abruptly, raised his fingers to silence and said, "Don't talk, I heard something over there."
Following his line of sight, a beautiful buck slowly walked out of the bush, looking down for delicious food.
And it has no way of knowing that it is the real delicacy in the eyes of hunters at this time.
Li Zitao has already seen that tonight they will enjoy delicious roast venison accompanied by some cold beer.
