Chapter 1,709 Pearl’s Small Business
The short and leisurely days were over before I could truly realize it.
After taking a special plane back to Los Angeles and sending Garbo home, Li Zitao returned to the Lee Castle without stopping.
The date of the 22nd club annual meeting is approaching, and Li Zitao also needs to rush back to make preparations.
"You still know how to come back?" In the castle, Mary looked at him with a half-smile.
This expression made Li Zitao a little scared, and he laughed angrily: "Didn't I come back in a hurry?"
"It's really not easy for a busy person like you!" Mary said sarcastically.
This time Li Zitao didn't dare to answer the conversation, thinking that his daughter would show up in time, so he quickly stepped forward to pick up Parr, and said softly, "My baby, do you miss daddy?"
"Of course." Pearl said with her eyes rolling; "Dad, did you come back with a gift?"
Li Zitao was stunned. He really forgot to bring a gift this time.
However, this small problem naturally did not bother him. After touching his body, Li Zitao took off the Pixiu handle hanging on his waist.
"How about making this a gift for Pearl? It is a Chinese mythical beast, which represents wealth and luck. Dad has always carried it with him, and now it is given to you."
Pearl was immediately attracted by the emerald-green patterned and exquisitely carved Pixiu, and happily took it and started playing with it.
When the nanny brought Jenny over, she even showed off in front of her, "Dad gave this to me. It's his favorite toy. Do you like it or not?"
Little Jenny stretched out her hand to want it, and Pearl proudly held it in his arms and said, "I can't give it to you. Dad gave it to me."
Wow--
Loud cries resounded in the room. Mary looked at him reproachfully, knelt down and picked up her daughter, rocking her and coaxing her carefully.
Li Zitao looked innocent. What does this have to do with me? It was obviously Pearl's fault for showing off.
When she looked at her daughter, the girl made a proud face, grabbed Pixiu and ran away laughing.
For several days, Li Zitao stayed in the castle without caring about the world, living a happy life with his wife and little cotton-padded jackets.
The servants were preparing for the annual meeting with smiles on their faces.
Tomorrow is the day of the annual meeting, and today the guests have arrived in Los Angeles.
Anne has been the busiest these two days, not only arranging seats, but also confirming how many guests on the list will arrive.
You also need to arrange cars, accommodation, welcome gifts for guests, and consider the etiquette and procedures of the reception.
Every night when I returned to the hotel, I didn't even have time to change my clothes, so I fell asleep on the bed.
Her personal life has been completely ruined, and now she is focused on her work and has a new goal.
‘Retired’ Ava is her new direction.
If one day she can become 'Ava No. 2,' what she has given up and sacrificed now will no longer be in vain.
Seeing that tomorrow is the annual meeting, Anne becomes even busier.
"All guests have been arranged. Have the routes for the remaining guests arriving tomorrow been arranged?"
In the assistant's office in the castle, Anne was confirming the schedule with the secretary's office.
"The list of appearances has been sorted out. The boss's speech will be at the beginning, followed by song and dance performances and singer solos... Will the clown be too exaggerated..."
All work is under negotiation.
Annie's brain was spinning rapidly, and she had no time to think about other issues.
This is the first time that, as the boss's personal assistant, she has been in charge of such an important banquet.
If she messed up, she could just pack up and leave without asking anyone.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Annie frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
The door opened, and Pearl's cute little face emerged from the crack in the door, smiling and saying, "Sister Anne, do you have time?"
"Pearl?" Seeing it was her, Anne said into the phone: "I'll go back later."
After hanging up the phone, Annie stood up and said enthusiastically, "Come in, do you need anything?"
"Hee hee." Pearl jumped into the office, closed the door and said mysteriously; "The banquet is tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, if you need anything, tell me." Annie said decisively.
"It's not an important thing." Pearl said awkwardly; "I want to sell lemonade at my father's party. What do you think?"
Pearl was in urgent need of some pocket money recently, and she had to make her pocket bulge again.
The club's annual meeting on the 22nd is the best opportunity for her.
However, Pearl was not sure whether she could do this or whether it would make her father and mother unhappy.
"Lemonade?" Annie thought for a moment and understood what she meant.
"Do you want to sell lemonade at the party?" Annie asked with a bit of fun and curiosity.
"Yeah." Pearl nodded and smiled; "You know, although I don't need to worry about anything in life, if you want to have free money, you can only earn it by yourself."
This is the rule set by Li Zitao and Mary.
Children do not need to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation, schooling, necessities, and gifts in life.
Whatever they need, they can easily get it as long as they get the approval of Li Zitao's Mary.
However, if they want to obtain free money, they must rely on their own efforts to obtain it.
Neither Li Zitao nor Mary would just give them a sum of money and say, "Spend it as you like," which would never happen in this family.
Whether it's Aiden, Mason, or now Pearl or Anna, they all have to earn pocket money through their own efforts.
Aiden and Mason wanted to get more pocket money, and they battled with wits every day until Mason left.
Pearl has no competition now, but she still needs to find a way to run her own small business. ’
"Of course, no problem." Anne thought for a while and said, "Can I prepare a table for you next to the buffet area?"
"Yeah." Pearl nodded excitedly. The cold table was the best place during the banquet.
It is located in the center of the banquet side against the wall, very eye-catching.
If she could sell the lemonade she prepared there, she would definitely earn a lot of pocket money.
"Thank you sister Annie. When I make money, I'll treat you to ice cream!" Annie said and ran away happily. She wanted to tell her friends the good news.
If he could make enough money to help his father keep the fishing boat, he wouldn't need to worry about life anymore.
"Pearl, where are you going?" Pearl quickly ran towards the door, and Mary asked when she saw her.
"I'm going to find Lyle. Mom, there's no need to prepare dinner for me. I'll be back before dark." As soon as he finished speaking, Pearl had already jumped into the car and urged the driver to leave.
Looking at the car that started, Mary shook her head helplessly and said to herself; this little girl is getting more and more wild, and it is not easy to make her stay at home.
