Chapter 1138: Chapter 1112: After Being Possessed 22
Li Hai went from Hai City to the Capital to avoid Anning.
He grew up in Hai City, and of course lived in the Capital at times, but compared to the Capital, he still preferred staying in Hai City.
This time, going to the Capital, Li Hai naturally had work to do. After arriving, he first discussed several collaboration projects, then began indulging in play.
Li Hai also had friends there in the Capital, and a group of second-generation kids played quite wildly.
Li Hai joined a few car races, then went with friends to some clubs.
As a result, he got entangled with a girl.
Honestly, the girl was truly beautiful, seemingly gentle and soft on the surface, yet inherently alluring.
Initially, Li Hai thought the girl looked really attractive, a relationship could be developed, so they started flirting, but it turned out she was quite intense, playing hard and clinging tightly to Li Hai.
Like this, Li Hai felt quite uneasy inside.
He found that when he was with this girl, he kept thinking about Yan Anning.
It seemed that one of Yan Anningās personalities was somewhat like this girl.
How to say it, able to hold herself well amidst people but very relaxed in private.
Honestly, after the matter with Anning, Li Hai really couldnāt appreciate such girls.
Upon discovering this girlās certain characteristics, he hurriedly broke up with her, but the girl refused, scaring Li Hai into quickly returning to Hai City from the Capital.
Upon returning to Hai City and inquiring around, he learned that Anning had fallen out with the Yan Family and was now back together with her ex-boyfriend. He indeed breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Li Hai could fully relax, he received a call from Anning.
Li Hai was truly puzzled; he changed his phone number and even switched up his WeChat, yet Anning still managed to find his number.
The call came in, Li Hai had no choice but to pick up.
With a heavy heart, he answered, "An...Anning."
Once the call connected, he heard Anningās laughter: "Young Master Li, long time no see, hope youāre well."
"Not well, not well. I say Miss Yan, can you stop messing with me like this, Iām really terrified. I admit, I had thoughts about you before, but now I have no thoughts left. Damn it, I swear Iāll never play around again. All I want is to find a virtuous woman to honestly settle down and have kids, okay?"
Li Hai felt goosebumps all over upon hearing Anningās laughter and couldnāt help but start swearing.
Anning laughed even more heartily, "Alright, a prodigal son returning is worth more than gold. Young Master Li, I called not to rekindle old flames but for something serious."
Li Hai finally felt at ease, "Okay, just tell me what it is."
"I want to collaborate with you on a project, itās also because my funds are insufficient. Besides, I want to leverage the Li familyās connections, otherwise, I wouldnāt offer such a good deal to you."
Talking about cooperation, Anning became much more serious, "Iāll send you a location, come over and take a look, we need to discuss how to collaborate properly. Iām telling you, if this works out, youāll surely make history."
"Making history is not my aim; just donāt mess with me."
Li Hai chuckled, "Alright, send me the location, and Iāll come find you right away."
Regarding cooperation, Li Hai was fairly assured with Anning.
Being in the same circle, and having grown up together with Anning, they both were well aware of each otherās temperament.
Anning was always a top student; she looked quiet and shy but was very decisive.
Moreover, Li Hai had heard about Anningās private stock trading and knew her capabilities well.
But Li Hai only thought about earning some pocket money with Anningās collaboration, he never considered making big money.
Anning quickly sent him the location, and when Li Hai saw it, he was taken aback.
He thought Anning was in Hai City but unexpectedly, she was in a small village.
Since Li Hai didnāt have much to do and feared Anning might do something to him if he didnāt go, he hurriedly called his assistant and secretary to drive to Fengtai Village.
Early in the morning, Anning called Li Hai, then followed Si Linna to visit some elders in the village, and went to the village headās house to discuss developing Fengtai Village.
Fengtai Village was truly not prosperous; in these years, farming hadnāt been profitable, most young people in the village went out to work elsewhere, leaving mostly old folks and children. The village head also worried about it; hearing Si Linna talk about investing in rural tourism and wanting to develop agriculture, the village head felt it was a good idea.
If they genuinely made it happen, youngsters wouldnāt need to leave home to work far away, and children wouldnāt grow up without seeing their parents often.
If the village grew prosperous, young men could find partners, and families wouldnāt fret over marriage issues anymore.
After chatting with the village head for a while, it was near lunchtime. The village head wished to have Si Linna and Anning for lunch at home. Anning checked the time, thinking Li Hai should soon arrive, explained to Si Linna, and Si Linna quickly declined the village headās kind offer.
The two left the village headās house and received Li Haiās call.
Li Hai had already arrived at the village entrance, so Anning drove Si Linnaās pickup truck to meet him.
Anning drove to the village entrance and saw Li Hai getting out of an SUV, looking around at the scenery of Fengtai Village.
"Miss Yan, why did you ask me to come here? Is this shabby place your so-called investment environment?"
Anning laughed, "Donāt rush, come with me, weāll discuss properly."
As she got into the car, she added, "Not bad, a trip to the Capital, corrupted flowers catching up with you."
Talking about this, Li Hai cursed his bad luck, "That girl was truly fierce, someone like me is still scared to death, otherwise, Iād still be playing in the Capital, not running back here under your command."
Anning smirked, "My apologies, Iāll have my sister make you some delicious food as a compensation later."
"Why not cook yourself?"
Li Hai stepped into the car, bantering with Anning.
Anning pointed at herself, "I say Brother Li, weāve dated, you know my virtues, can you really count on me to cook? Arenāt you scared to be poisoned?"
Li Hai said nothing.
Before picking Li Hai up, Anning called Xiao Yuan to come over. By the time Anning brought Li Hai to the Shi Family, Xiao Yuan had arrived on his motorcycle.
This time, both ex and current partners were present, Si Linna glanced at Xiao Yuan and Li Hai, covered her face, and asked Anning quietly, "Arenāt you afraid of causing a chaotic scene?"
Anning shook her head, "No, Young Master Li is broad-minded, A Yuan isnāt someone petty, they wonāt fight."
Sure enough, they didnāt cause any trouble.
Li Hai sized up Xiao Yuan, smiled and approached, "Heard a lot about you."
Xiao Yuan shook hands with Li Hai, "Iāve heard a lot about Young Master Li too, honored to meet today."
Xiao Yuan, being cunning, secretly applied pressure while shaking hands, nearly breaking Li Haiās bones.
Li Hai might seem laid-back but wouldnāt lose face by crying out in pain in such moments, so he endured.
Anning chuckled and said, "Alright, everyone, letās get inside quickly."
