Chapter 350 [Just just want to spend a lifetime together!]

Time is like an hourglass on your fingertips, slipping away from your fingers when you are not paying attention and never returns.

While people are still savoring the heat of summer and the bleakness of late autumn, winter quietly comes, and the biting cold winter rain falls like beans on the streets and alleys of Los Angeles, adding a hint of coldness to this winter.

Los Angeles has a typical Mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summers and mild and rainy winters.

In fact, this winter rain began on Christmas and has not ended for three days.

For every citizen in Los Angeles, winter rain is their most troublesome weather: raining in winter will not only give people a feeling of wetness and coldness, but also cloudy weather will also make people feel a little depressed.

However...as this winter rain is approaching Christmas, the most important festival in the United States, although the winter rain is cold, it has not extinguished the enthusiasm in the hearts of Los Angeles citizens.

As the second largest city in the United States, during the just-passed Christmas, Los Angeles was filled with a bustling scene. Whether the rich or poor people were having holidays during the holidays, they took this opportunity to breathe and enjoy the joy of the holidays.

In Chinatown, those Chinese who have lived for a long time have completely adapted to their lives in foreign countries and have also accepted Western culture. Christmas has a similar status in their hearts as the Spring Festival.

Christmas, this festival that Westerners attach the most importance to makes Chinatown lively. Although it is a cold winter rain, foreign tourists can be seen everywhere on the streets. Many of them are specifically from the country to feel the Christmas atmosphere, and their enthusiasm has not decreased because of this heavy rain.

This is Li Yi's first Christmas in the United States, to be precise, the first time he spent Christmas in the United States in his life.

In his previous life, he also celebrated Christmas in the United States for two years. Both times were on missions and used the relaxing atmosphere of Christmas to assassinate both officials, both of which were successful.

This time, he spent this festival that Westerners valued the most as honorary chairman of the American Mafia Committee.

In a sense, Li Yi is no stranger to Christmas, but he doesn't like this festival very much.

Li Yi was wearing the Zhongshan outfit made by Xia Yuting for him, walking on the streets of Chinatown, looking at the excited tourists around him with a relaxed look on his face.

The rain did not wet his clothes. The cherry blossoms in a red cloak followed him, holding an umbrella for him. While walking, they gently turned the umbrella handle. The raindrops fell on the umbrella and splashed away, which could not touch the two of them at all.

The strange combination of Li Yi and Sakura attracted many passers-by.

Women are always more attractive than men, especially beautiful women.

Sakura with a proud figure is definitely a beautiful woman. The pair of 36-d white rabbits on her chest make some Western women feel inferior.

Such a beauty is naturally easy to attract men's attention, but the indifference that keeps people from thousands of miles away makes all men's eyes stay on her for no more than three seconds.

In comparison, some domestic female tourists will stay for a while when they look at Li Yi, not because of Li Yi's appearance, but because of Li Yi's unique Zhongshan suit.

Long robes and Zhongshan suits are all clothing with Chinese characteristics, but in this era, few people have worn Zhongshan suits. This is true in China, let alone abroad. In this case, Li Yi's Zhongshan suit will naturally attract many people's curious attention.

Facing these gazes, Li Yi and Sakura didn't care, and they had already adapted to this scene.

Through the bustling streets, Li Yi brought the cherry blossoms to the entrance of the martial arts hall in Chinatown.

This martial arts hall is the territory of the Chinese Gang and was once the base of Mengshu. Li Yi was arranged to join the Chinese Gang in this martial arts hall when he first joined the Chinese Gang. He fought wits and courage between Mengshu and Tang Hai, and finally stepped on the corpses of the two.

This martial arts hall was once a fire when the Chinese Gang and the Yamaguchi Group had a fight. Li Yi sent someone to set fire to the fire. The fire did not burn the martial arts hall, but it left unimpeccable traces. The walls inside the martial arts hall were many dark places, and even some fitness equipment were burned. The walls that burned the fire had not been repainted. This is what Li Yi meant. He seemed to be commemorating something in this way.

Before becoming the leader of the Chinese American gang, this martial arts hall was the office in Los Angeles. When Li Yi went to New York to seize power and participate in the decisive battle of the American Mafia Committee, Niu Linsheng, as the temporary head, also set up his office in this martial arts hall.

Now Niu Linsheng has gone to New York and is helping Zhang Dekun to manage the entire Chinese gang, while the person in charge of the Chinese gang in Los Angeles has become Xiao Qi.

I have to say that Li Yi has a good vision. Niu Linsheng took over as the leader of the Chinese Gang, without any timidity. He made rapid progress. He has only become a general in half a year. He can basically handle the affairs of the gang easily with the assistance of Zhang Dekun.

Of course... Zhang Dekun made a lot of contributions in this!

Zhang Dekun, known for his insidiousness and cunning, is the most cunning fox in the Chinese Gang. It is enough to see this that he can fight with Hong Qingyun for so many years without falling into a disadvantage. His loyalty to Li Yi and extraordinary wisdom are important reasons why Niu Linsheng can quickly adapt to his new identity.

Compared to Niu Linsheng, Xiaoqi did not have an excellent helper. When he first took over the Los Angeles Chinese Gang, he was somewhat unable to control the situation.

In this regard, Li Yi did not come forward to help Xiaoqi, but allowed Xiaoqi to perform his own actions.

After a brief period of at a loss, Xiaoqi fully utilized what he learned from Fang Jingming, gradually overcome the difficulties and completely controlled the situation at that time. Until now, the processor gang has been at ease, and there is basically no need to ask Li Yi for instructions, and he can handle it himself.

When Li Yi arrived at the martial arts hall with cherry blossoms, Xiaoqi had been waiting inside for a long time.

Xiaoqi was wearing a gray suit, and the expression on his face did not look fierce. He did not give people a feeling of being angry and arrogant like ordinary big shots, but was very gentle and could not be wary.

He perfectly inherited the mantle of shrewdness, and can even be said to be a copy of Fang Jingming!

"Brother Yi." Even though Li Yi has now become the real master of the entire Chinese gang, Xiao Qi is still used to calling Li Yi "Brother Yi" when he sees Li Yi. He is not to bring his relationship closer to Li Yi, but to thank Li Yi in this way.

Without Li Yi, he would not have been able to get out of the fiercely competitive gang and become a member of the core circle, nor could he survive the shadow of Fang Jingming's death, nor could he become the ruler of the Los Angeles Chinese Gang and even the Los Angeles underworld!!

Li Yi took a fancy to him, cultivated him, and gave him everything he has now!

His loyalty to Li Yi is different from Zhang Dekun - Zhang Dekun just won't betray Li Yi and will do things as Li Yi told him, but... Zhang Dekun will never fight for Li Yi!

Xiaoqi is different.

Everything he had given was given by Li Yi. He would never blink even if he fought hard for Li Yi!

In addition to respecting Li Yi, he was also grateful...

Thank you from the bottom of your heart!!

Looking at the increasingly mature and restrained Xiaoqi, Li Yi smiled and signaled Xiaoqi to sit down and chat.

"Xiao Qi, I will go to New York tomorrow and then fly directly from New York to return home." Facing Xiao Qi's respectful gaze, Li Yi said in a deep voice: "I have seen your performance in the past six months. You have not disappointed my expectations. You have completely inherited Uncle Fang's mantle and are enough to become a qualified manager."

Facing Li Yi's praise, Xiaoqi was not excited at all. On the contrary, he was a little disappointed: "Brother Yi, let Xiaoqi accompany you to take revenge in China!"

"Xiao Qi, the territory of the Tiger Gang in China. The Tiger Gang is deeply rooted in China and has a huge network of relationships. It is somewhat risky to go back to take revenge with me. Los Angeles is the most stable place in the entire Chinese Gang. In Los Angeles, Ximan of the Gambino family will work tirelessly to help you, and the police's Sidon is also my person. It can be said that in the future, you will be able to take both black and white in Los Angeles. In such a situation, do you still plan to go back with me?" Li Yi looked at Xiao Qi with interest.

Xiaoqi nodded: "Brother Yi, Xiaoqi can't say anything beautiful. Xiaoqi just wants to say that if Brother Yi thinks that Xiaoqi can play a role in returning to China with Brother Yi, then Xiaoqi will go back with Brother Yi!"

Looking at Xiaoqi's firm expression, Li Yi smiled, and he showed a gratified smile: "Okay, silly boy, be the eldest brother here comfortably. You can't help with domestic affairs."

This time, Xiaoqi chose to remain silent.

"By the way, before Christmas, you gathered the big guys in Los Angeles to hold a meeting. Is there any special situation?" Li Yi remembered that before Christmas, Xiao Qi gathered the big guys in the underworld to hold a meeting. The theme of the meeting was: Spread the spoils!

Half a year ago, in order to help the Gambino family, Li Yi mobilized members of the entire Los Angeles gangster in one sentence, and at the same time made a promise to them. After the matter was completed, he not only gave them one million US dollars to each gangster, but also gave them 30% of the profits smuggled on the West Coast of the United States!

The U.S. West Coast smuggling business makes the Chinese Gang more than 200 million US dollars a year!

Thirty percent is more than 60 million US dollars!

This is definitely a huge fortune for the gangsters at the bottom!!

"Brother Yi, they were all very excited at the meeting. When I announced that I would give them 60 million US dollars, they were all shocked! Some guys were even drooling and looked greedy!!" Recalling the spoils sharing meeting before Christmas, Xiao Qi was also slightly excited. It was the first time he held a meeting as the head of the gangster in Los Angeles.

"They didn't show any dissatisfaction with the share of the spoils, right?" Xiaoqi's performance fell in Li Yi's eyes, but Li Yi felt that it was very normal. After all, power can cause a person's mood to undergo a huge change, and even he himself is no exception.

Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "No, they are all distributed according to the proportions that were agreed in advance. However, I took this opportunity to attack those disobedient gangs."

"Oh?" Xiaoqi's words aroused Li Yi's interest: "How did you do it?"

"I told those guys that those gangs had privately contacted the smuggling group, which affected the interests of all of us." Xiao Qi said in a deep voice: "After that, the gangsters who were excited about the huge amount of money were excited, and they took the initiative to eliminate those gangs without waiting for me to speak."

"Good job." Li Yi nodded and praised Xiaoqi's approach, but suddenly changed his subject and said, "But you can use this method once or twice, so don't use it if you have too many. As a qualified manager, you have to make them restrict and compete with each other, and not let them become a common thread, do you understand?"

Xiaoqi nodded.

Seeing Xiaoqi nodding, Li Yi did not doubt that Xiaoqi understood what he meant, so he smiled with relief, and then gave Xiaoqi a few things to pay attention to.

At five o'clock, Li Yi ended his conversation with Xiaoqi and drove him to the entrance of a kindergarten called "baby".

This is one of the few kindergartens in Chinatown, where Xia Yuting works.

The winter rain was still drizzling, and the kindergarten entrance was filled with parents who had been waiting for a long time. The crowds and cars were crowded together, almost blocking most of the streets.

This is also one of the characteristics of the kindergarten entrance. Every time it takes to pick up and drop off children, there are always many people at the kindergarten entrance.

When Li Yi arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, the kindergarten did not come out of school. Looking at the crowded crowd outside the window, Li Yi thought for a while and said, "I will take Yuting to dinner later, you go back first."

Obviously, Li Yi also knew that if Sakura followed, he would definitely wait for him and Xia Yuting in the car. Li Yi didn't want Sakura like this.

Sakura did not show any dissatisfaction with Li Yi's instructions, and she just nodded silently. She knew very well that Li Yi had decided to keep Xia Yuting here, that is to say, before eliminating the Tiger Gang, Xia Yuting would stay alone in Los Angeles, and Li Yi and Xia Yuting naturally had a lot to say for dinner. That scene was not suitable for her to stay by her.

What's more... Even if Li Yi and others have dinner, Sakura will not participate.

This is one of the habits of cherry blossoms.

Sakura did not take the umbrella in the car, but got off the car directly, and the rain quickly wet her hair.

Wearing a red cloak, she did not wipe the rain on her face, but straightened her back and disappeared into the crowd.

Looking at the arrogant back of Sakura, Li Yi sighed softly.

Now, the relationship between him and the women has basically been determined, but he has not yet found a suitable method to balance and handle the relationship between the women.

For example, the gap between cherry blossoms and Androv...

For example, during his days in Los Angeles, Androv did not follow him to live in Tang Hai's villa and get along with Xia Yuting in a friendly manner, but stayed in the Gambino family manor.

Although Li Yi also knew that Androv had no prejudice against Xia Yuting, it seemed impossible to let Androv or several other women live in the same house with Xia Yuting in a short period of time.

This flashed through his mind, and Li Yi felt a little headache. He shook his head and stopped thinking about these things, but turned his eyes to the kindergarten gate.

Five minutes later, the iron gate of the kindergarten was opened, and the children lined up in an orderly manner under the leadership of the kindergarten education.

In the hazy rain, Xia Yuting was wearing a white coat and a black long skirt. While she was walking with an umbrella, she smiled and told the children in the team something.

In the rain, her smile was so bright.

As Li Yi thought at the beginning, Xia Yuting, who likes children, is indeed very suitable for the job of preschool education. She completely adapted to the job one month after entering the kindergarten. In half a year, she has become an excellent preschool education teacher and the "preschool education mother" in the hearts of the children.

"Guoguo, you are changing your teeth these days, remember not to eat candy." When the last child in the team was about to leave, Xia Yuting squatted down and helped the little girl tidy up the collar of her clothes, and said with a smile.

"I understand, Teacher Xia, Guoguo doesn't eat candy today." The little girl said obediently.
