Looking at the stars

Royal Village. The pool surface was sparkling in the afternoon. The man in the pool waved his powerful arms, splashing water wherever he went. This was his fourth lap. After swimming to the edge of the pool, he floated on the water and shook his head . He raised his hand to wipe the water droplets off his face. He stood up with his tall body, stepped on the steps one by one, and slowly walked up to the shore. The sunlight shone on his slightly bronze skin, and the water droplets on his body reflected a halo, making his figure even more perfect at the moment. Mom, when did you come? The man picked up the white bath towel on the handrail and started to wipe his hair, while greeting the woman wearing sunglasses by the pool. Just arrived. Ye Xiaoling, elegantly dressed, sat on a lounge chair by the pool and looked at her son through her sunglasses. The man walked lazily to another lounge chair and lay down. He squinted his eyes and looked at the pool. He opened his thin lips slightly: I don’t come to you for no reason. What’s the matter? Tell me. I just came from Haoyuan. Ye Xiaoling took off her sunglasses, turned her head to look at her son and said: Your grandfather said that you have a lot of things to do, and you need a capable person to help you. Recently, he has found an assistant with good abilities and wants to arrange him to be your special assistant. The man had closed his eyes and was resting. His facial features were deep and three-dimensional. At first glance, he looked like a still painting. But the words that came out of the man's mouth the next second were incompatible with this harmonious picture. Not accepted. The man had a blank expression on his face and replied with two words without any emotion in his voice. Ye Xiaoling fiddled with the sunglasses in her hand for a few times, and said to her son slowly: I have already promised your grandfather on your behalf. Then you can take this assistant yourself. The man replied without even looking up. Seeing that her son was so determined to refuse, Ye Xiaoling's face showed a trace of impatience. Xiangnan, please don't embarrass me in front of your grandfather. The man heard the impatience in his mother's tone and opened his eyes. Mom, you knew that grandpa wanted to put someone next to me, why did you agree to it? Aren't you obviously making things difficult for yourself? Ye Xiaoling stroked her meticulously groomed hair, let out a long sigh and said: I am the daughter-in-law of the Li family after all, and it is not good to offend your grandfather in front of my family again and again. Besides, isn't your assistant going to resign because of family matters? It just so happens that this person can take over! The man frowned, a hint of impatience on his handsome face. He sneered: "Isn't it a matter of minutes for me, Li Xiangnan, to hire an assistant? Even if Gary resigns, I will never hire Grandpa's people." Ye Xiaoling looked at her son helplessly and said softly: "She's a girl. I heard she's very pretty. It would be nice to have her around to edify your eyes. Just take her in, okay?" No, I never use a female assistant. Li Xiangnan closed his eyes again and enjoyed the afternoon sun. Ye Xiaoling sighed, glanced at the time, put on her sunglasses again, and stood up from the recliner. I don't care. I have already promised this in front of your grandfather. You have to accept him. Just think of it as a way to give your mother a way out. Ye Xiaoling looked down at her son and decided to put this difficult problem aside first. As for how long this assistant can work, I haven't given your grandfather a guarantee, so you can decide for yourself! Anyway, someone you, Li Xiangnan, don't want to use, won't stay by your side for a few days anyway. Li Xiangnan's lips curled up into an evil smile. He opened his eyes slightly and glanced at his mother. Seeing that she had already stood up, he asked: "What? Are you planning to leave now? Don't you want to stay for dinner?" Ye Xiaoling: I don’t have time. I have to go back and pack my luggage. I have to fly to Paris later. Li Xiangnan raised his eyebrows. With my dad? No, with my girlfriends. Ye Xiaoling took out her cell phone from her exquisite bag, walked out while talking on the phone, and turned around and waved to her son, which meant saying goodbye. The villa at Yu Zhuang was very big, and it took Ye Xiaoling a long time to reach the door. The exclusive driver had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Ye Xiaoling coming out, he respectfully opened the car door for her. At this moment, there was the sound of an engine, and a sports car suddenly braked and stopped steadily at the entrance of Yuzhuang. The cool car door was opened, and a stylishly dressed man got out. The man was Zhou Ruize, Li Xiangnan’s childhood friend. He closed the car door and greeted Ye Xiaoling with a smile: Aunt Ye, I haven’t seen you for a while. How come you have become more beautiful? Ye Xiaoling was already immune to Zhou Ruize's compliments. She glanced at the sports car and said, "What? Are you here to play racing with Xiangnan again?" Zhou Ruize chuckled and immediately passed the blame on to others: It was Xiangnan who came to find me, don't worry Aunt Ye, we are just killing time in the back mountain driveway. Ye Xiaoling let out a long sigh, glanced at him, reminded him to be careful, turned around, got in the car and left. Only when the rear of Ye Xiaoling's car disappeared from sight did Zhou Ruize start walking towards the Yu Zhuang Villa. When Zhou Ruize arrived at the swimming pool, Li Xiangnan was sitting on a recliner with a white bath towel covering his waist and his chest exposed, talking on the phone. Tonight, I want to know the background information of that woman. Li Xiangnan spoke into the phone expressionlessly. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Zhou Ruize. Are you here? Zhou Ruize sat down by himself and asked curiously: From the tone of your voice...is there any woman who suddenly caught your eye, Li Xiangnan? Li Xiangnan threw the phone aside and replied without interest: My grandfather arranged a female special assistant for me. Female special assistant... Zhou Ruize raised his eyebrows and asked: "Did you accept it? This is not your style." Do you think it's possible? Li Xiangnan raised his lips and smiled. Thanks to my mother, I still have to use this female special assistant for a few days. Then the days ahead for this female special assistant... I'm afraid they won't be easy. Zhou Ruize had expected the ending and was no longer interested in this. He kicked Li Xiangnan's recliner and said, "Let's go! Let's go racing in the back hills! I've got my precious car here, let's go racing!" Li Xiangnan lifted the bath towel and stood up to change clothes. There is a mountain behind Yuzhuang, and Li Xiangnan specially built a racing track on the mountain. Sometimes he would bring his friends there to play racing. Behind the mountain of Yuzhuang, on the racing track. At the starting point, Li Xiangnan and Zhou Ruize were sitting in their respective sports cars, with bursts of engine noise coming one after another. The whistle blew and the two sports cars started to move. White smoke came out of the wheels. They whizzed past like a gust of wind, drifting around the bends, and the wheels made a chirping sound as they rubbed against each other... Speed and passion, it’s all about the heartbeat. Before we knew it, the sun had gradually set. Under its last bit of stubborn afterglow, the shadow of the person leaning on the hood of the car and the car were stretched very long. You won again, how boring. Zhou Ruize looked at the scenery below the mountain and said in a dull tone. Li Xiangnan gave a wicked smile and said nothing. A person was walking towards the front of my sight. Upon closer inspection, it was Li Xiangnan's assistant Gary. Mr. Li, here is the information about the woman you want. Gary handed the document to Li Xiangnan. The sun finally sank completely, and rows of street lights suddenly lit up, creating a unique scene in the back mountain. Li Xiangnan took the information handed over by Gary and glanced at it with his eyes lowered.
