Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 124 Night Banquet
"Welcome!" At the door of Li Zicheng's house, Ding Qing was still creating the atmosphere by clapping his hands, while Li Zicheng and his wife were standing behind.

"Brother!" Ding Qing wanted to hug Li You, but found that he was not tall enough. He looked at Li You suspiciously, "You have grown taller?"

"In theory, men in their early twenties still have the potential to grow taller." Li Zicheng interjected silently.

Li You put his arm around Ding Qing and said, "Let me introduce you, Old Ding."

"Han Zhijing, our Zicheng's wife!" Ding Qing smiled, "Zhijing, this is President Li we often mention."

Li You smiled and handed over the cosmetics that Mou Xianmin had picked out that afternoon, "This is a gift that my girlfriend picked out."

"Thank you, President Li," Han Zhijing accepted it flattered.

Ding Qing winked at Li Zicheng and said, "Look at Li You, how understanding he is!"

"Zicheng, have you, a rough guy, ever bought a gift for your wife?" Ding Qing said with a smile.

But as he watched, he realized something was wrong. Li You took a suit covered with a thin film from Yoon Hyun Woo behind him.

"This is for you," Li You handed it to Li Zicheng, "I think you are more suitable for more serious colors, so I chose dark blue for you."

Li Zicheng took it and nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Ding Qing pushed Li Zicheng and said, "Go in and try it, go in and try it!"

After pushing Li Zicheng in, Ding Qing turned around and rubbed his hands, "Where's mine?"

"What do you mean yours?" Li You spread his hands, "Is this yours, Lao Ding?"

"You..." Ding Qing rubbed his face, "Ah Xi, you little bastard."

Li Zicheng changed quickly. He stood under the yellow light, his tailor-made dark blue suit neatly outlining his tall figure.

The fine stitching on the suit is faintly visible under the refraction of light, just like the sparkling sea surface in the middle of the night.

"Ah Xi." Ding Qing wanted to reach out and pat Li Zicheng, but then retracted his hand. "Can you really look so handsome in a nice outfit?"

It’s not that Ding Qing and Li Zicheng don’t have the money to make custom-made clothes, but they are the kind of people who don’t care much about appearance.

Li Zicheng only needs to wear a black suit to maintain his cool appearance, while Ding Qing goes around the streets picking out clothes, wearing whatever is fancy on the stalls.

"."

Li Zicheng faced the mirror, forced a smile, and tried to see what his peaceful future would be like.

"You laughed." Ding Qing said suddenly.

Although the smile only lasted two seconds, Ding Qing still noticed it.

"No," Li Zicheng replied stiffly.

"You smiled."

"No."

"You really laughed," Ding Qing said confidently, "How many times have you laughed? Can you count them on one hand?"

"That means the color I picked is pretty good," Li You said with a smile, "You can tell he's very satisfied."

Ding Qing snorted, "Alright, go change it back and eat."

"Sir, you don't want your expensive suit to be stained with oil and rice residue, right?" Ding Qing reminded him.

Li Zicheng stood in front of the mirror for two seconds, then walked back to the bedroom in silence to change clothes.

The meal was like an ordinary family dinner and nothing else was discussed.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Li You went downstairs. Ding Qing came down alone to see Li You off. It was not that Li Zicheng and his wife did not come down, but that they were asked to go back by Ding Qing.

"You guy," Ding Qing looked at the hazy night and couldn't help laughing, "Zicheng actually cares about his appearance, otherwise he would wear a suit so clean every day."

"But in our line of work," Ding Qing restrained his smile and sighed, "there are not so many bright and beautiful moments."

"So I guess Zicheng really wants Jinmen to appear," he looked up at the stars in the sky, "As the eldest brother, I can't let my younger brother down."

He looked at the cigarette passed to his lips and raised his arm, "Your injury hasn't healed completely yet, so you're not allowed to smoke. I was just teasing you before."

Li You nodded and lit up the cigarette. "Come to think of it, I envy your relationship, Lao Ding."

He smiled and said, "We worked hard together, cleaned ourselves up together, and can climb higher together in the future."

"To be honest," Li You looked at Ding Qing, "even if our relationship is harmonious, in the end we can only be called friends. You and Zicheng are brothers."

Ding Qing smiled silently.

"But it's nice to be friends, Old Ding."

Li You pointed to the sky and said, "Because in the end, there is only one sun in the solar system."

"Ah!" Ding Qing couldn't help laughing, "Why do they look so much like anime characters?"

Li You threw the cigarette butt on the ground and waved to Yin Xuanyou who was standing on the other side.

Yoon Hyun-woo opened the trunk door and placed his white suit in the custom compartment of the trunk. Even after being left for a while, there were no wrinkles on it.

He handed the white suit to Li You, who handed it to Ding Qing, "Don't be a bumpkin anymore, Old Ding."

Ding Qing coughed twice and said, "This is such a waste."

He couldn't wait to take the suit. Unlike the suits he had bought in the famous brand suit shop before, this suit was pure white, as if it could swallow up all the colors around it.

"Also," Li You handed him a pair of white leather shoes, "I threw away the box, you can take it back and wear it well."

The luster of the white leather shoes seemed particularly dazzling in the night, at least in Ding Qing's eyes.

After rubbing his lips for a long time, Ding Qing finally spoke and said the same thing as Li Zicheng, "Thank you very much."

"Are you touched?" Li You said jokingly.

"I am touched," Ding Qing said solemnly, "The last time someone gave me a gift was Zicheng, and the last time someone gave me clothes was my mother."

Li You waved his hand at him, "Then don't be too touched, it's just a set of clothes. If you are so touched that you bring Beidaemun to me, I'm scared."

"You know what?" Li Youlin looked at Ding Qing before getting in the car, "I wanted to give it to you..."

He gestured, and Ding Qing instantly felt that the clothes in his hand were no longer fragrant. Li You smiled and said, "Next time, I don't have much left."

"Ah" Ding Qing watched Li You's car go away.

"This boy."

As the car drove away, Li You thought for a moment, "Has the money from the stock market been transferred to my personal account?" "Yes, President."

Li You waved his hand and said, "I will transfer it to Jiangnan Industry later and let Mr. Wu buy more land."

Yin Xuanyou shook his head and said, "President, Mr. Wu told me yesterday that I should have time to report to you."

"what's up?"

"Mr. Wu said that we have already acquired nearly half of the vacant land in Jiangnan District. Jiangnan Industrial still has existing shops and the land use rights under the shops."

“If Jiangnan Industrial further increases its land property rights, it will be hit by the government.”

Li You frowned, "What about the other two districts in Jiangnan?"

"Due to the 1998 Olympic Games, many competition venues and practice venues were built in Jamsil-dong, Songpa District. There are also residences for athletes at that time in various areas, which have now been converted into apartments for sale.

Therefore, there is only a small amount of idle land in Songpo District, and most of it is owned by Jiangnan Industrial.

In Seocho District, Mr. Wu exchanged the real estate stores originally owned by Jiangnan Industrial for locations with higher future value, but there are almost no new ones.

This is mainly because the National Library, Supreme Court, and Southern District Public Prosecutions Office are all located in Seocho-gu.”

Yoon Hyun-woo reported the situation as the car drove onto the bridge and Li You looked out.

The neon lights on the bridge have been built, and the ripples on the water will hit the bridge piers, making a dull and powerful sound.

At the end of the bridge is Jiangnan, where the windows of many tall buildings are lit up with starlight.

"So now we can no longer acquire more land in the entire Jiangnan area at this stage." Li You retracted his gaze.

"Is that right?"

"Yes," Yin Xuanyou drove steadily, "Mr. Wu said that even if he tried his best, he could only buy a little more without attracting the government's attention."

"I have frequently registered land transfers on your behalf and have been asked why."

Li You hesitated for a while and said, "Then stop for now and put the money aside first."

He suddenly thought that since there was no place to spend the money, it would be better to move the headquarters of Jiangnan Industrial first.

Li You looked towards Jiangnan at the bridgehead. There were so many tall buildings, but not a single one belonged to Li You.

Isn't it a pity.

"Apgujeong-dong in Gangnam-gu is now the best location besides Cheongdam-dong, right?"

"Yes, President."

It’s not that Li You doesn’t want the real estate in Cheongdam-dong, but most of the shops here are foreign luxury chains or stores opened by various large companies. For example, Shunyang also has a Shunyang Department Store here.

“What’s the best place in Apgujeong?”

Yin Xuanyou guessed what Li You wanted to do, "President, do you want to move the headquarters?"

"Yes," Li You nodded, "Funds should be put to work, and it's time to openly announce to those bastards in Seoul that Gangnam belongs to us."

“President,” Yoon Hyunwoo wiped off the non-existent sweat, “In fact, no one from Seoul dared to come.”

"It's different," Li You smiled.

Yin Xuanyou thought for a moment and said, "The best location is near the Xiancheng Building."

"What a coincidence?" Li You was indeed a little surprised.

"It's not a coincidence, President," Yin Xuanyou scratched his head, "Madam has already chosen a very good location, but she deliberately kept the best one."

Li You spun the lighter in his hand. "Well, contact the construction team tomorrow. You can spend more money, but the construction period must be faster."

He thought about the date and said, "It's already early December. We'll try to finish it before next summer."

“Next summer!” Yoon Hyunwoo calculated and was shocked. “Six months?”

It is true that money talks, but if we want to shorten the construction period to six months,
"Boss, how many floors do you want to build?"

"What is the tallest floor in Jiangnan now?"

"Shunyang Department Store," Yoon Hyunwoo knew about Lee Woo's past with Shunyang Department Store, so he said carefully, "27 floors, meters."

"Ninety meters?" Li You yawned, "Then we'll build a hundred meters."

He stared at Yoon Hyun-woo, "After this building is completed, no one will be able to build a building over a hundred meters in Gangnam."

Seeing that Yin Xuanyou was a little nervous, Li You waved his hand and smiled, "Just kidding, if they want to build it, they can build it. I can't stop them from doing the construction."

Li You slowly lit the lighter, closed the lid, and repeated the action, "Whenever they build it high, I will throw them down from the top floor."

"Let them take a good look at the tall buildings they built."

The car stopped in front of the villa. Yoon Hyun-woo opened the door for Li You and bowed until Li You entered.

"You are a really obedient secretary," Mou Xianmin said like a real little woman in the family, hanging clothes for Li You and helping him get slippers.

"Do whatever you're told to do."

"I discovered it," Li You smiled, "Yin Xuanyou is a very smart person. He knows how to get this job for a long time."

"That is to make people who use him feel that he is becoming more and more useful."

"That's enough," Mou Xianmin finished hanging his clothes and patted his chest muscles through his shirt, "I know you're good."

After washing up, the two hugged each other on the big bed in the bedroom. Li You squinted his eyes and said, "I'm going to build a building in Jiangnan."

Mou Xianmin smiled charmingly, "Should we use the piece of land that I didn't choose?"

Li You looked at her and smiled, "You have kept the best location."

“I plan to build a hundred meters.”

"I guessed it," Mou Xianmin leaned against him, "because Shunyang Department Store is ninety meters high."

She smiled and said, "I guessed that you would not allow people to build a building over a hundred meters high."

"So can you guess what I'm going to do next?"

"Guessed it. Guessed it."
