"What are you mumbling about? Haven't you had enough beatings?"
Li Minxi showed him her fist.
"Xiao Xi, how did such a beautiful girl become so violent after having a child?"
Pi Xiaoqian said.
"That depends on who it is. It's only like this for you."
Li Minxi sniffed at him with her small nose.
"I really don't know how Yangzi got entangled with you.
Are you tormented every day?"
Pi Xiaoqian said, looking at Guo Xuyang.
"What are you doing? Trying to divert trouble to me?
You guys chat amongst yourselves, don't drag me into it."
Guo Xuyang quickly said.
He had just been scolded this morning and didn't want to be lectured by Li Minxi again.
Unfortunately, what he feared most had happened.
"Him? Who dares to torment him?
I'll be grateful if he doesn't torment me."
Li Minxi said sarcastically.
"He dares to torment you? Wouldn't that be eating the heart of a tiger and the gall of a leopard?"
"Ever since I had the child, he hasn't accompanied me properly.
Either he has missions or he's out playing. Anyway, being by my side is incredibly unbearable."
"Really?"
Pi Xiaoqian wanted to say more but was stopped by Guo Xuyang's glare.
Seeing his expression, if he said one more word, he would really be kicked out.
"Have I ever lied?
Do you think everyone is like you? Full of lies."
Li Minxi retorted.
"Um, Fatty, don't you have something to do?
Why don't you go take care of your business first, and come to the hotel to help at noon."
Guo Xuyang said.
"Ah? Right, I do have something to do, how could I forget?
Xiao Xi, eat slowly, I'm leaving first."
Pi Xiaoqian quickly said.
"What is it? You're leaving after a few words?"
"I really have something to do. Aren't we distributing dividends this time?
Let him go to the villa to take stock again."
Guo Xuyang quickly said.
"Distribute dividends, distribute dividends, what's there to take stock of?"
"There aren't many stones left in the vault. Let him go and take stock to see how long it can last.
We need to find time to go out again and buy some stones."
"Yes, yes, yes. Boss Wu's shop is basically out of stones, all of them are cut materials.
Most of these materials were carved into ornaments this year, and there were basically no small pieces made."
Pi Xiaoqian said.
"Can you go out and play again?"
Li Minxi said, looking at the two of them.
"Don't say that, am I that kind of person?"
Guo Xuyang said.
"Aren't you? I can't tell."
"I won't eat dog food.
I won't come over at noon, I'll go directly to the restaurant."
Pi Xiaoqian said and went out.
"Why are you chasing him away?"
Li Minxi glared at Guo Xuyang and said.
"I was afraid he would ruin your appetite."
"What a character." Li Minxi rolled her eyes at him.
Fortunately, Pi Xiaoqian didn't hear it, otherwise he would have cried out to the heavens and the earth again.
Heaven and earth, who have I offended?
"You eat slowly, I need to go to the restaurant first.
Xiao Hong and her parents will be there soon.
President Cheng probably won't be coming, they'll have to go directly to the restaurant."
Guo Xuyang said.
"Has the dividend plan come out yet?"
"Xia Li hasn't told me yet.
They'll probably talk about it during lunch today.
I'll have Xia Li convene a shareholders' meeting in the group then.
Just wait for the call.
The profit in the first half of this year was hundreds of billions, most of which were ornaments from Kyoto and Shanghai.
The specific dividend plan hasn't come out yet.
My idea is to retain some funds to purchase raw stones, and then distribute the rest according to the original investment ratio.
What do you think of that?"
"I have no opinion.
As you just said, most of them were sold by the stores in Kyoto and Shanghai, so shouldn't the personnel in these two places also be rewarded?"
"This can be done.
How about a reward of one million for each person, two million for the store manager, and five million for the person in charge?"
Guo Xuyang said.
"Now Boss Wu is basically a hands-off boss. Kyoto is managed by Mr. and Mrs. Wu Bing.
Shanghai's Xu Liping has also gone back to recuperate, and Xiao Yu is in charge.
These three people don't hold any shares, so five million for each of them isn't too much."
"Since you agree, then so be it.
I'll tell them about this proposal when we meet at the hotel later."
"This way, people will have more motivation to work."
"You're absolutely right. Then I'll be going out now."
"Yes. If you flirt with them in front of me again when you come back, I'll fire them."
Li Minxi's words almost made Guo Xuyang stumble.
There was a reason for being scolded in the morning.
Who said women have broad minds and can tolerate anything?
That's absolutely wrong.
Only petty people and women are difficult to deal with, the ancients were truly not deceiving me.
Guo Xuyang didn't dare to respond, pretended not to hear, and hurried away.
"Little guy, I don't believe I can't handle you."
Li Minxi watched Guo Xuyang's swift figure and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Fatty, where are you? Come and pick me up."
Guo Xuyang called Pi Xiaoqian.
"What? Got kicked out?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, I'm at the entrance."
"Walk forward a couple of steps and you'll see me."
Pi Xiaoqian said cheekily.
Guo Xuyang looked up and saw Pi Xiaoqian sitting in the car, waving his arm at him.
"How is it? I was prescient, wasn't I?"
Pi Xiaoqian said, seeing Guo Xuyang get into the car.
"What do you mean?"
"I've been waiting for you at this spot. Can't you tell?"
"How did you know I would come out?"
"I calculated it. Am I accurate?"
"Get lost. I was scolded this morning.
Don't drag me into it."
Guo Xuyang cursed.
"What happened? Tell me about it."
"Tell you what? Drive, to the restaurant."
"I haven't eaten enough, and you drove me out.
Shall we go eat fried dough sticks?
It's been a long time since we went to that place for fried dough sticks."
"Is that place still there? They're demolishing everywhere now."
"Let's see."
Pi Xiaoqian said, stepped on the accelerator, and headed straight for the place that sold soy milk and fried dough sticks.
"It's gone."
Guo Xuyang said, looking at the construction site in front of him.
"They're demolishing everywhere now, even some ancient buildings are being torn down and replaced with reinforced concrete.
What do you think is wrong with these people?"
Pi Xiaoqian said, looking at the scaffolding outside.
"This is the need for social development, no one can stop the footsteps of social progress."
"Yes, I understand.
But what I don't understand is, after these buildings are destroyed, where will cultural inheritance begin?
Will this be what's left for future generations?
Can these cube-like houses carry five thousand years of cultural heritage?"
"Some people are too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and this is also the general trend, there's nothing that can be done.
Who doesn't want to achieve something and advance while in office?
Fewer and fewer people are doing things that benefit the present and the future."
Guo Xuyang said thoughtfully.
"Is the state just letting this development continue?
This is not healthy development."
"I don't live in the highest halls of the palace, nor do I plan for such affairs.
This is not something we common people can decide.
Don't worry about it.
Let's go to the restaurant first, have the chef make a couple of small dishes and a bowl of noodles to fill our stomachs."
Guo Xuyang patted the car body and said.
