Recounting some events from when he first went there to do business, Li Jiaxian spoke with a sigh. He never imagined he would one day achieve success.
Thinking of the unequal treatment he had received back then, his tone of voice changed.
It wasn't a sigh, but more of a slight complaint.
"There's also this story? I didn't expect there to be such prejudice in Hong Kong," Lin Xiao said, feigning surprise.
Prejudice has always existed. Even in a seemingly simple domestic environment, there are various forms of regional discrimination.
"You haven't been there, so of course you wouldn't know." Li Jiaxian then looked at the tea tin and coffee beans in Lin Xiao's hand and quickly said, "Just some tea."
"Alright," Lin Xiao nodded.
Li Jiaxian had been silently observing Lin Xiao the whole time, trying to discern something extraordinary about him.
Lin Xiao…
The name felt slightly familiar to him, but he couldn't quite recall it. It was as if he had heard it somewhere, yet also as if he had never heard it before.
After the tea was prepared, Li Jiaxian unconsciously relaxed his body, leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed. He picked up the tea and took a sip, saying instinctively, "This tea is good, but it's still a little inferior to my Da Hong Pao."
"I don't know much about tea."
Lin Xiao nodded. He only knew how to drink tea, but he was unclear about what was good or bad.
"Oh… it's fine, drinking tea is just… having a sip when you're thirsty," Li Jiaxian quickly added with a sheepish smile.
"Of course, why else would we drink tea?" Lin Xiao said, then seemed to realize something.
It wasn't just about being thirsty for Old Zhou; he genuinely liked it, mainly liking spiritual tea.
Never mind, Old Zhou wasn't here anyway, so he wouldn't know what he had said.
"By the way, shall I go pick up Li Shuxiao?"
"No, no, let her play outside and have fun. She'll come back naturally in the evening." Li Jiaxian immediately shook his head. He had come to Shashi specifically not to see his daughter, but to meet Lin Xiao, establish a connection, and mend the rift between himself and his sister. Then, perhaps his company could cooperate with Luo Corporation, which would elevate his company to the next level.
Then, he wouldn't have to put up with the condescending looks from those people anymore.
Thinking of this, a smile spread across his face.
"Uncle, what's wrong? Thinking of something good?"
Seeing the smile on his face, Lin Xiao asked casually as he sat down. From what he could see, Luo Qinghan's uncle seemed relatively normal.
Of course, according to their usual way of thinking, his uncle's visit was probably to get closer to the Luo family.
No profit, no early rising.
Lin Xiao had interacted with many businessmen in the past. He hadn't understood much then, but now, looking at Luo Qinghan's uncle, he felt he was seeing a typical example.
"It's nothing, just thinking that it's been a long time since I returned to Shashi, and I feel a bit nostalgic," he said with a hearty laugh, making up an excuse.
"That's true. I heard that Uncle and Mom haven't been in contact for many years, and it seems you haven't returned once in the last ten years. It has indeed been a long time," Lin Xiao nodded, saying it subtly.
