"Hi, sorry, I'm late." When the elevator door opened, Li Zitao went straight to the dining room and said hello to the family members who were joking in the kitchen.
"Hi..." Mary poured him a cup of iced tea and asked with a smile, "what's the matter?"
"No, we'll talk about it in the evening. It's family time." Li Zitao gently kisses her forehead, grabs ice black tea and drinks it.
"Well! It's delicious. Who made it? " Li asked, holding up his cup.
"It depends on whether you want to say thank you or want a secret recipe." Little Mary is mixing wine, but she has the potential to be a bartender. It seems that she learned a lot at university.
"Is that all you learn from the $9000 a year tuition?" Mary said jokingly.
"I don't think it has anything to do with tuition fees. It's due to the $20000 party expenses per year." Li said with a smile.
"Whoa ~" Li Xiaobin exclaimed with a smile, but the number startled him.
"Don't be surprised, you'll soon have a headache with this bill." Said Little Mary, gloating, he has two sons!
"Richard, come here and let me see how tall you are?" Li Zitao waved to his nephew who was running over. He squatted down and held him in both hands.
"Oh, you are so heavy. You look so grown up." That's right. Now he's a 10-year-old.
Although they are not as tall as the twins, of course, few people are like them.
But his horizontal development trend seems to have a little bit to worry about. The boy has already weighed 160 Jin
"Uncle Charlie, and me." Good boy Frank went straight to him.
"No, don't do it, oh my God..." Li Zitao, whose legs were held by frank, fell to the ground and was crushed by two laughing boys.
"That's good. Neither Mason nor I want him to move." Said Eden, standing by his mother with a cup of coffee.
"Just like Bentley always gives you money to spend, right?" Mary had a smile in her eyes.
"Cough..." Eden was choked by his mother's words. He thought nobody knew about it.
"Don't blame me, man. Your mother is too good for me to deal with." Li Xiaobin shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.
In fact, it was his own carelessness that leaked his mouth, but he would not admit it.
"I'll see if the pie is ready." Brock was very happy. She was happy to see the children mingle with their uncle.
"I've put the wine on the table. Is there anything else I can do?" Eric is in charge of wine selection for today's dinner.
"Is there any secret recipe to contribute?" During this time, as a partner, Little Mary and Eric got closer to each other.
"If I could find my grandmother one day, I would remember to ask." The atmosphere of the dinner was very happy. Everyone prepared one or two special dishes.
Except Li Zitao, because he came back too late. However, Mary prepared a fresh green lemon oyster, even if it was his dish.
"It's delicious, Brock. Your pinecone shrimp is wonderful." Brock's prawns with garlic and pine tower were praised by all.
Cheese, pasta, caviar, gold desserts, staples and desserts are also popular. Of course, it's not real gold, but a dessert with coffee, coconut milk, spices and other ingredients, decorated with sturgeon caviar.
After dinner, Eden and Eric offered to wash the dishes, while the others were in the living room, drinking and chatting.
"Can you speak now?" Asked Mary, leaning against him.
"It's Ben." Li Zitao knew that his wife saw that he was absent-minded.
At the end of the previous conversation with Ben, he made a very embarrassing request for Li Zitao, which was unavoidable for anyone Retirement.
"Are you in trouble? Maybe you should have prepared. " Judging from his performance, Mary must have overlooked it.
"No, I'm ready." Li Zitao shook his head and pondered. Things were not as simple as his wife said.
He even considered his retirement. How could he not think about think tanks? It's just that this is not in line with his plan.
In fact, Li wants to leave the core candidates of future think tanks to Aiden for decision. Not now, of course, but after he graduated from university and began to really contact with family businesses.
At first, the people he elected would not directly become leaders, but would be trained as a member of a think tank. The two gradually grew up and helped each other. This will also enable them to make deep friendship.
All of these need time. Li Zi Tao thought his instinct would last another 10 years. Now he is only in his 50s. For a professional like him, he should be in the golden age.
"In fact, the divorce was a big blow to him, and the kids were big. Andie was 16, and Roddie was 14, the age at which he needed to be worried and accompanied.
He wants to spend more time and energy on his family What's more, he wants to live longer, to accompany them through the red carpet and hand their hands to the groom That's what he said. It seems that the job is very difficult for himThis is a brain burning job, which needs to be responsible, worried, and considered too much.
"No matter who is in his position, it will be." Mary was right in saying that, no matter who Ben is.
Think tank is not an easy job. If anyone thinks he can mix his qualifications and punch in from 9 to 5 every day, he must have found the wrong place.
There is no shortage of golden bachelors in think tanks, because for them, work occupies almost all of their lives.
Therefore, in the limited short vacation, most of them will choose to go on holiday. Or stay at home, go to the bar to have a drink, have some sex and have a good time for a few days. Or go for a walk to the seaside, find friends to play ball games, do some sports and so on.
Speaking of the words "golden Bachelor", Mary's eyes brightened and she could not help turning to her sister, Little Mary.
During this time, their sisters stayed in New York and met frequently, so they talked a lot, and Mary could clearly feel the change in her heart every day.
It was sooner or later that her marriage would come to an end, for the disappointment accumulated in Little Mary's heart was beyond redemption.
The life change from heaven to hell also left her at a loss.
She can endure poverty, or she can not care about clothes, food, house, car, and whether it will be ridiculed.
But all this must make her feel worthwhile and worthy of her efforts.
Once she thought Ethan brazen was worth it. Now, Little Mary is not sure.
