Li mother had seen her share of tall buildings and was not intimidated.
As they ascended in the elevator, her granddaughter asked if she felt dizzy.
She did not.
Her granddaughter mentioned that the top floor was residential, and the company occupied floors 31 to 35.
She still did not feel dizzy.
Her granddaughter explained that from the 30th floor down, the offices were rented out to other businesses.
She asked her granddaughter who the wealthy owner was.
Her granddaughter replied that the entire building belonged to her younger daughter-in-law.
She quickly leaned against the elevator wall, "Lili, Grandma feels dizzy."
Li Weili smiled and steadied her grandmother, "Grandma, we're here. It's normal to feel a bit dizzy the moment the elevator stops."
Exiting the elevator, Li Weili led her grandmother to a sofa in the living room of her suite.
"This is my suite. All four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and the dining room and living room are combined."
"Look, over there on the dining table, we've just finished cooking. We haven't eaten yet. We'll cook some dumplings later..."
Li mother waved her hand, "Lili, Grandma really feels dizzy. Let me rest for a while. I never knew your mother had built such a significant business in Kyoto."
Li Weili realized her grandmother had been greatly shocked.
"Why haven't you ever come to Kyoto before? You digest this first, and I'll slowly show you more of what my mother has achieved. This is just the tip of the iceberg."
The tip of the iceberg?
Li mother shook her head, "Lili, get me a cold towel to wipe my head."
Just as Li Weili had finished helping her grandmother clear her head with a cold towel, two more dizzy individuals arrived.
Ouyang Renzhi helped his aunt and uncle to the sofa and said to Li Weili,
"Sister Lili, I just mentioned that this entire building belongs to Aunt Tian, and they became dizzy. You take care of them, I'll go downstairs to get the rabbits."
Ouyang Renzhi ran off excitedly. Li Weili had no choice but to get more cold towels for the other two.
The cold towel seemed to jolt Ouyang Meihua, who sat up straight and took the towel to wipe herself.
"Lili, tell your aunt, does this whole building really belong to your mother?"
Li Weili nodded, "Don't you know that Uncle Ouyang is the general manager of the company?"
"I know that, but..." Ouyang Meihua flipped the towel and continued wiping,
"There are general managers everywhere in our county town. I've seen many general managers in the city too."
"In this day and age, when anyone can be called a general manager, it's not that surprising that your Uncle Ouyang is one."
"Boss Zeng, such a big boss, bought millions of watermelons and vegetables from Kūshān Mountain in one go. I didn't think much of it because I knew Boss Zeng was a legendary wealthy businessman."
"But your mother, so quietly, has accomplished so much. I... I'm still counting stars in a mountain village. I... I..."
Li Weili was amused by her aunt's unparalleled perspective.
"Aunt, Uncle Ouyang owns thirty percent of this building. Why aren't you amazed by Uncle Ouyang's capabilities?"
"Oh, please," Ouyang Meihua waved her hand and threw the towel to her husband,
"Him? If your mother hadn't pulled him along, he'd still be scrambling in that county town, at best a general manager like those in the county town."
Li Liguo took the towel and wiped his face, "Lili, does your father know about all this?"
"He knows," Li Weili smiled. "There are no secrets between my parents."
"Sigh!" Li Liguo sighed, "I'm like a frog in a well. In Kūshān Mountain, with an annual dividend of two to three hundred thousand, I thought I had reached the pinnacle of life."
"It turns out I was only standing at the peak of a hill. Your parents are standing at the peak of the mountain range behind Kūshān Mountain."
"Uncle, Aunt," Li Weili quickly comforted the two whose confidence had been instantly shattered.
"You two might not know yet, but to some high-level individuals, the name Kūshān Mountain represents wealth."
"You two only see this building. On the way here, weren't there even taller and more magnificent buildings?"
"These are just the visually impactful exteriors. In reality, no one can guarantee that every shareholder receives a dividend of two to three hundred thousand annually. Some even have to make up for losses."
"If you told ordinary citizens about Kūshān Mountain, those who follow national affairs would think of the seedlings from Kūshān Mountain. Those who don't care would directly assume we are country bumpkins."
"However, among the high-level circles, people are eager to form connections with Kūshān Mountain, especially those related to your mother."
"Han Lushi and I became victims because some people wanted to form connections with my mother. Fortunately, we already had feelings for each other."
Since her niece had brought it up, Ouyang Meihua wanted to know the details.
Li mother interrupted, "Don't ask about this. We don't understand these things, and Tiantian hasn't told us, so let's not ask unnecessarily."
Then, she asked her granddaughter, "Lili, you said people related to your mother. Your uncle and aunt's family are the closest. Are Yan Yan, Xiao Yu, and An An potential marriage candidates?"
Ouyang Meihua immediately perked up her ears.
Li Weili nodded, "Ran Ran told me that his second brother created a chat group and added all the single men in our family."
"They will help screen them. If someone isn't suitable, they can't agree carelessly. There will be too many troubles later."
"That's true," Li mother nodded. "I didn't pay attention before. Isn't it enough if a bride from any family seems decent?"
"Now, seeing how much you mother has built, anyone entering the Li family must be carefully screened."
Just then, Han Lushi came in, asking where the items should be placed. Hearing this, he immediately became nervous, "Grandma, I..."
Li mother waved her hand at him, "You've already passed the test with Lili's parents. As long as you treat Lili well, there are no other problems."
Her grandson-in-law was from the army, his identity was secure, his background was strong, and his orphan status was particularly suitable.
Han Lushi breathed a sigh of relief, "Lili, Uncle Ouyang said those items have a strong smell. Should we use another room to store them?"
"And our suite has the heating on, so vegetables can't be stored here."
Li Weili nodded, "They should be stored separately. I'll go and see."
As she got up, Han Lushi followed closely behind her as they left the main door.
Grandma Li looked very pleased. He was a caring person.
Ouyang Meihua wanted to express her opinion but lacked the standing.
More importantly, her own son-in-law was even older.
Li Liguo stood up, "I'll help carry them."
Grandma Li had also rested enough, "I'll go see where my chickens and rabbits should be placed."
As a result, the vegetables and wild eggs were placed in one room, and the dried wild game and cured meats in another.
The stewed and preserved cooked meats were in a third room.
The chickens and rabbits were put into cages and placed on the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Ouyang Renzhi followed the chickens and rabbits, "Dad, can we raise a rabbit too?"
Ouyang Lei slapped the back of his head, "Only little girls like rabbits. You're a man."
Ouyang Renzhi rubbed the back of his head, "I'm a boy. Children like small animals."
"A boy, huh?" Ouyang Lei found his son's weakness, "Did you go to class today? Do you have homework?"
"Oh no, I forgot." Ouyang Renzhi said goodbye to Grandma Li, "Grandma Li, I'll come and help you feed the rabbits when I have time."
"Yes, yes, yes," Grandma Li waved at him, "Go write your homework. We've delayed your time."
"It's okay, I'm very happy," Ouyang Renzhi said politely, "It's lively now that you're here on this floor."
