Chapter 368 Cooperative Performance
Seeing Yuan Zhi's anxious explanation, a smile flashed in Li Qin's eyes, but he then put on a stern face again and said:
"I never take back what I give away. If you still consider me a friend, then you'd better take it back obediently."
Seeing that Li Qin seemed somewhat unhappy, Yuan Zhi's conflicted expression deepened.
After a while, seeing that Li Qin's expression did not relax at all, Yuan Zhi couldn't help but sigh, and then said to Li Qin with a grateful look.
"In that case, thank you, Brother Li."
Seeing that Yuan Zhi had finally accepted the gifts, Li Qin finally smiled with satisfaction.
He nodded with a smile on his face;
"That's right!"
After giving the items to Yuan Zhi, Li Qin kept Yuan Zhi at his home for a while, had him drink a glass of water, and then let him leave.
It wasn't that Li Qin didn't want to persuade the other party to stay, but today was a holiday, and Yuan Zhi had an elderly grandmother at home.
If we keep Yuan Zhi too long, it might worry her family.
You should know that Yuan Zhi has been living with his grandmother for several years now.
However, when Yuan Zhi left, Li Qin personally escorted him to the outside of the courtyard.
After all, there were quite a few eccentric people in this courtyard, and Li Qin was really worried that if he didn't see Yuan Zhi off, some problems might arise.
As it turned out, Li Qin was right.
When Li Qin saw Yuan Zhi off, many residents in the courtyard noticed that Yuan Zhi had an extra bulging bag on him.
A glint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of some people.
Only because Yuan Zhi had Li Qin by his side did these people not do anything else excessive.
After Yuan Zhi's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Li Qin turned around and walked back into the courtyard.
However, when Li Qin passed through the front yard, he did not expect to be stopped by Yan Bugui again.
Li Qin looked at Yan Bugui, who was blocking his way, with a puzzled expression and a strange look in his eyes.
Ever since he dealt with a few of the stewards, they've become much more restrained when they're around him.
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, in particular, hadn't been up to any trouble for a long time because they were preparing for the upcoming worker level assessment.
Seeing Yan Bugui blocking the road, Li Qin felt very strange.
"Could it be because I've been giving him the cold shoulder lately, making him think he's all that?"
Li Qin thought to himself with some uncertainty.
Of course, the exact situation can only be determined by asking.
Li Qin spoke directly:
"Uncle, what are you doing? Is there something you need?"
Seemingly sensing a hint of coldness in Li Qin's tone, Yan Bugui subconsciously took a step back.
However, when he realized that he wasn't targeting Li Qin or causing him any trouble, Yan Bugui calmed down.
Yan Bugui smiled at Li Qin and then said;
"Li Qin, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wanted to ask how you plan to spend it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qin instinctively felt that Yan Bugui was definitely plotting something again, but he did not sense any malice from the other party.
So it's highly likely that they want to gain some benefits from their own position.
Li Qin knew Yan Bugui's personality; it was his nature. Although Li Qin was somewhat displeased, he still answered.
"How should we live? Just live like that, the same as usual."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a glint flashed in Yan Bugui's eyes, and then he looked at Li Qin with disapproval.
"Li Qin, you're wrong about that. You have to understand that the Mid-Autumn Festival is of great significance to us. How can we treat it casually?"
As he spoke, Yan Bugui still looked indignant.
However, Li Qin could tell that the other party's expression, tone, and demeanor were all an act.
However, Li Qin also wanted to know what Yan Bugui was up to, so he cooperated with the other party's performance.
He immediately looked somewhat confused:
"Then, Third Uncle, what do you think should be done?"
Seeing that Li Qin seemed to have really taken the bait, a glint flashed in Yan Bugui's eyes again, and then he pretended to be indifferent and said;
"Of course you should celebrate properly, but it's too lonely for you to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone. However, your third uncle's house is more lively with many people."
If you don't mind, you can come to my house tomorrow so we can all celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together; that would create a festive atmosphere.
Hearing this, Li Qin basically knew what Yan Bugui was planning, but in order to amuse him, Li Qin still played along.
"I'm so sorry, let's just forget about it."
Yan Bugui, however, once again waved his hand as if he didn't care.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you really don't want to eat and drink for free, just bring whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Li Qin's eyes, and a disdainful smile appeared in his eyes.
However, he still continued to cooperate, saying:
"Uncle, you know I'm still young and don't understand many things. Uncle, what do you think would be appropriate for me to take?"
Seeing Li Qin step by step into his scheme, Yan Bugui's eyes flashed with a smug look.
At the same time, thinking about the benefits he could get from Li Qin, a big smile appeared on his face.
"You can just take anything you want." Yan Bugui initially pretended to be indifferent, but then spoke again:
"Didn't your factory give out Mid-Autumn Festival benefits? Since you're spending it with us anyway, you might as well bring it along and have your auntie make it for you."
"You could also bring something else, or maybe a bottle of wine."
Yan Bugui had now revealed his true intentions.
After realizing Yan Bugui's scheme, Li Qin had no intention of continuing the charade.
His smile vanished instantly, and he looked at Yan Bugui with a calm expression.
Seeing the change in Li Qin's expression, Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat.
Especially when Li Qin looked at him with such indifferent eyes, Yan Bugui felt as if Li Qin could see through all his thoughts.
The smug look in Yan Bugui's eyes gradually diminished, and the smile on his face froze.
"Li, Li Qin, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
It's unclear whether Li Qin put too much pressure on Yan Bugui, or whether Yan Bugui himself had poor mental fortitude and low stress tolerance.
Under Li Qin's gaze, Yan Bugui began to stammer.
Actually, Yan Bugui can't be entirely blamed for this.
In the past, when Li Qin wasn't angry, he had a relatively peaceful demeanor.
Even when I'm in a bad mood, at most I'll just speak in a more forceful tone.
But ever since Li Qin started learning spells like Soul Capture and Memory Spell, his eyes and demeanor have changed.
Although it's not usually noticeable.
But once Li Qin gets serious, his gaze becomes extremely aggressive.
Most people simply cannot withstand his gaze.
