The word "get out" immediately made Zhuang Fan's face gloomy.
At this time, several bodyguards brought by Zhuang Fan also hurried up.
Similarly, on Li Dong's side, the security personnel in several cars all came down.
Li Dong looked at Zhuang Fan with a smile and did not speak.
"Play hard?
"Zhuang Fan should not be so stupid. Does he really think that I dare not touch him?"
At this time, Li Dong wanted to see what Zhuang Fan could do.
For Zhuang Fan, Li Dong did not hate him, let alone like him.
There was not much hatred between him and Zhuang Fan, mainly for the sake of face. But obviously, Zhuang Fan's face was not as valuable as his.
At this time, Zhuang Fan was in a dilemma.
What could he do?
Li Dong made it clear that he did not give him face, and Hu Xiaorui also ignored him. What could he do?
As Li Dong thought, Zhuang Fan was not so stupid to play hard.
Although he was angry in his heart, Zhuang Fan gradually calmed down. After a moment of silence, he said, "General Manager Li, if you don't mind, I also want to watch the grand occasion of the Li family's ancestor worship. What do you think?"
This was the first time he used honorifics in front of Li Dong.
Similarly, as soon as these words came out, Li Dong could not help but look at him in a higher light.
Since Hu Xiaorui did not go, and he could not force Li Dong, he simply went with them.
If Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui went alone, others would talk nonsense.
But Zhuang Fan also went with them. Even if there were rumors outside, Zhuang Fan had a fig leaf to cover it.
When the matter subsided, the two families would make a statement to the public, and then the matter between him and Hu Xiaorui would be over.
After that, no matter what Hu Xiaorui did, it would have nothing to do with him.
Before, Zhuang Fan really wanted to facilitate the marriage with Hu Xiaorui because of the Hu family's resources and the Sun family's reputation. For him, it was the same no matter who he married.
But today, after Hu Xiaorui made such a scene, Zhuang Fan suddenly lost the mood.
He finally saw that Hu Xiaorui did not have a sense of family honor like him. She only disliked him but had no feelings for him.
Even if they reluctantly got together, they might drag him down in the future.
At this moment, the only thing Zhuang Fan wanted was to let this matter pass as soon as possible.
If he wanted to let this matter pass, he would not.
If things really got out of hand today, not only would they become mortal enemies with Li Dong, but they would also become mortal enemies with the Sun family.
He was still clear about the Sun family's situation. Although the old man's words were still effective, it was hard to say how much Sun Yuehua listened to.
One side was his daughter, and the other side was an outsider. How would Sun Yuehua choose in the end, was there a need to guess?
The Zhuang Family was a businessman, and businessmen knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm.
Chen Rui felt that Zhuang Fan and Li Dong would definitely fight. That was because he thought that Zhuang Fan was a son of an official family.
The second and third generation of an official were actually more important than the second and third generation of a rich family.
As for Zhuang Fan, who was born in a businessman family, he also cared about his face. But under the premise of face, Zhuang Fan would also weigh the gains and losses.
If he could gain some benefits, Zhuang Fan did not mind fighting with Li Dong. But if there was no benefit, Zhuang Fan was not willing to do it.
Chen Rui still thought that the current Zhuang Family was the Zhuang Family from 30 years ago, but he was thinking too much.
If it was 30 years ago, Zhuang Fan's father's generation did indeed have the style of a son of an official.
But now, 30 years later, the Zhuang Family's purpose of nurturing Zhuang Fan was to take over the family's huge business.
As a businessman, and also the heir of a big family, how could he be provoked so easily?
If he couldn't scare Li Dong away, then he would just compromise himself.
This change in attitude was noticed by Li Dong, and he remembered it in his heart. Now, he was more vigilant against Zhuang Fan.
This guy reminded him of Hsu Shengzhe.
Hsu Shengzhe was actually this kind of person. If he could use the hard way, he would not use the soft way.
But if he couldn't use the hard way, Hsu Shengzhe would lower his head faster than anyone else.
This kind of person could be considered as a real businessman.
Maybe their change in attitude was still superficial, and it was easy for others to see through it.
But after a few years, these people would become the old foxes in the business world.
Li Dong was not in a hurry to agree. He smiled faintly and said, "Are you sure you want to go?"
"General Manager Li doesn't welcome me?" Zhuang Fan also smiled. Of course, his smile was a little stiff.
Now, he had a general understanding of Li Dong. He was amenable to coaxing but not coercion.
If you were tough, he was tougher than you, and he had no intention of backing down.
Zhuang Fan was really worried now. If Li Dong did not agree, what should he do?
In short, Hu Xiaorui could not accompany Li Dong alone.
He did not care about her in the future, but not today!
If he was really rejected by Li Dong, the Zhuang Family would lose face anyway. Even if they fell out, Zhuang Fan would not let Li Dong off so easily.
Now, it was up to Li Dong to weigh the pros and cons.
Just when Li Dong was about to speak, Zhuang Fan's phone suddenly rang.
Zhuang Fan was slightly startled, then he smiled and said, "General Manager Li, do you mind if I take the call?"
Li Dong said faintly, "Up to you."
Zhuang Fan did not speak again. He took the phone to the side.
At this time, Hu Xiaorui, who had been silent just now, pouted and whispered, "Let him go."
Li Dong glanced at her and chuckled. "What's wrong? Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
"It's not that …"
Hu Xiaorui puffed her cheeks and muttered, "Actually, I really want to beat him up. He's so hypocritical. But looking at him like this, he is ready to draw a line with me. This is for the best. If I really beat him up, what if he continues to pester me? It's not bad now. He will definitely not pester me again. "
Actually, both of them could see Zhuang Fan's attitude.
Today, he protected the Zhuang Family's face and protected Zhuang Fan's face. Later, even if Hu Xiaorui was willing, he would not dare to continue like this.
Hu Xiaorui was too carefree. How would Zhuang Fan know if there would be a next time?
They were not married yet. If they really got married, don't put on a hat for yourself.
When others put on a hat, it was to be low-key. With Hu Xiaorui's temper, Zhuang Fan was really afraid that she would publicize it with great fanfare.
At that moment, Zhuang Fan thought of Princess Gaoyang and almost scared himself. How would he dare to talk about marriage with Hu Xiaorui?
Li Dong heard that and nodded slightly. "Actually, this is for the best. It's a happy ending for me, for you, for the Sun Family, and for the Zhuang Family."
Letting Zhuang Fan take the initiative to give up was much more effective than Hu Xiaorui's resistance.
Although Sun Yuehua and her husband might not be happy about what Old Man Sun had promised, if they really resisted, it would be a family discord.
Now that Zhuang Fan gave up, the Sun Family's face was saved. Even if the old man was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.
This was smoother than what Li Dong expected. If it was another time, he might not be able to make Zhuang Fan give up.
After all, the wealth in the hands of Sun Yuehua and her husband was an astronomical figure. There weren't many people who could resist this kind of temptation.
After Li Dong finished speaking, Hu Xiaorui couldn't help but snort.
Although she had said it out of reason rather than willfulness, she was still a little unhappy that Li Dong had taken advantage of the situation to push the boat with the current.
Li Dong smiled and didn't comfort her.
When Zhuang Fan came back after the phone call, Li Dong took the initiative and said, "If Young Master Zhuang wants to go take a look, I have no objections."
Zhuang Fan didn't say anything and continued to wait for Li Dong to speak.
In this world, no one was a fool.
In fact, when Li Dong said he agreed, he knew that he had to pay a price.
Today, he hijacked Li Dong's car, so he had to make Li Dong look good.
Since he didn't want to fall out with them, then he had to be prepared to bleed. Of course, if Li Dong went too far, he wouldn't agree.
"But then again, it's not the first time that Young Master Zhuang came to find trouble with me. You and I know what happened with Szentai before. I don't care too much about it if it happened once or twice, but today, Young Master Zhuang wanted to make trouble during my ancestral worship. That's a bit too much. Don't you think so? "
Zhuang Fan said calmly, "General Manager Li, if you have something to say, just get to the point."
"Then I won't talk nonsense. East Star Entertainment wants to buy New Films Alliance. I heard that the Zhuang family is a major shareholder behind the scenes. This time, Young Master Zhuang has caused a lot of trouble for Hu Xiaorui. How about being a bonus?"
The corner of Zhuang Fan's mouth twitched. I caused trouble for Hu Xiaorui?
It was obviously this woman who caused trouble for me!
But at this time, Zhuang Fan didn't refute. He nodded and said, "Okay!"
Li Dong said the merger, not that he didn't want to pay. He really didn't think too much about it.
Although New Films Alliance was one of the top cinemas in Hua Xia and one of the top cinemas in the northern market, for Zhuang Fan, New Films Alliance was really not a profitable industry.
In the past few years, the movie market had been average, and the profits were not too big.
Of course, Zhuang Fan still added, "We do have some shares, but we are not the biggest shareholder. New Films Alliance is a state-funded cinema chain, which is mainly state-owned. Even if you want to buy it, the shares in our hands are not enough to control it. "
"You don't have to worry about this, Young Master Zhuang."
Zhuang Fan smiled when he heard this and didn't continue this topic.
The annual box office of New Films Alliance was less than 400 million. Even if the net profit margin was 10%, the annual profit was less than 40 million.
The shares controlled by the Zhuang family weren't considered a lot, and the annual profit was less than 10 million.
They had to earn some money, but it wasn't as if they didn't want to invest.
In fact, in Zhuang Fan's opinion, this thing was dispensable. If he really sold it, he could use the money to invest in anything. The annual profit of 10% was as low as it could be.
As for Li Dong wanting it, he would give it to him. This was actually a business deal, and there was no compromise.
Li Dong naturally understood this logic. It was more like a dream to expect to get huge benefits from the hands of the Zhuang family with such a small matter.
Li Dong didn't really care about the amount of money. The main thing was that everything went smoothly and he could help Far Away complete the plan.
If not for today's incident, if East Star wanted to buy New Films Alliance, Zhuang Fan would definitely cause trouble.
Taking the opportunity to solve a potential problem was considered a decent gain.
This matter should have ended there, but unexpectedly, Zhuang Fan took the initiative and said, "General Manager Li, since this is the first time we've worked together, why don't we work together again?"
"Hmm?"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly. This was a little interesting.
The matter with New Films Alliance couldn't be considered a cooperation. Although the Zhuang family didn't lose out, it was done under Li Dong's coercion.
He didn't expect Zhuang Fan to take advantage of the situation and start talking about cooperation.
Zhuang Fan smiled and said, "Time is tight today. When General Manager Li is done with his work, we can have a good talk. Also, in order to express our sincerity for cooperation, I will give General Manager Li a free message. "
Li Dong smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't ask what the message was.
Since it was free, it wasn't a big deal for Li Dong.
If he could really deal a blow to Li Dong, it would be a good thing if Zhuang Fan didn't trick him. Why would he tell him?
As expected, Zhuang Fan didn't hold back and said directly, "The call just now was from Chen Rui. He's in the car behind. This guy keeps egging me to go against General Manager Li. A poor family wants to control the situation, how ridiculous! Even if I really go against General Manager Li one day, it won't be because of him. A summer insect can't talk about ice, a frog at the bottom of a well! "
Zhuang Fan's face was full of disdain and showed it unscrupulously in front of Li Dong.
It was impossible for him to say that he didn't feel any pressure when facing Li Dong.
But facing Chen Rui, Zhuang Fan had the right to be disdainful.
Not to mention that his old man was half-retreating now, even if he didn't, Zhuang Fan wouldn't put him in his eyes.
Chen Rui's conspiracy was ridiculous in Zhuang Fan's eyes.
The reason why he chased after them this time was not because of Chen Rui's instigation, but because he really cared about the Zhuang Family's face.
As for Chen Rui thinking that he had complete control of the situation and played them in the palm of his hand, it could only be said that he was thinking too much.
This time, if he really had no choice in the end, Zhuang Fan might not necessarily shed all pretense of cordiality with Li Dong. What would Chen Rui know about this kind of thinking?
After listening, Li Dong also smiled faintly and said, "The mushroom in the morning doesn't know the new and the new, and the cicada doesn't know the spring and autumn. It's good for a grasshopper to jump around a few times to relieve boredom. If it's really annoyed, then just trample it to death. "
Although he said that he didn't care, Li Dong had made up his mind to trample Chen Rui to death after this.
He didn't forget how Liu Qing was defeated.
Shen Qian told him that small people also had their own dangers. Moreover, Chen Rui wasn't at the level of a grasshopper.
Previously, Chen Rui had always been in Capital City, and he didn't cause any trouble for Li Dong, so sometimes, Li Dong forgot about him.
But time and time again, this fellow jumped around in front of him. If he ignored him, this fellow would really think that he couldn't touch him.
It was troublesome to touch others, but Li Dong didn't have many ways to deal with Chen Rui.
Back then, he obtained some documents from Lanshan Villa, and some of them involved Chen Rui. In addition, Chen Rui had been operating in Jiangbei for many years, and he wasn't the kind of person who would be honest.
Now that Li Dong was at the peak of his power in Jiangbei, he could easily find something to deal with Chen Rui.
Regarding Li Dong's big tone, Zhuang Fan didn't feel that it was inappropriate. In fact, he also had the same thought.
Continuing from what he just said, Zhuang Fan continued, "Chen Rui just called me, wanting to watch a good show. He said that your cousin owes hundreds of thousands of gambling debts, and later on, during the ancestral worship, the debt collectors will come to the door. Roughly speaking, he wants me to block you. After all, at this time, only I have the qualifications to block you. "
These words were really blunt. Zhuang Fan was still a person with pride in his bones.
Now that he couldn't do anything to Li Dong, it didn't mean that he was afraid of Li Dong.
Later, if debt collectors really came to the door, he could block Li Dong, and at the same time let his bodyguards block Li Dong's people. This wasn't a big problem.
Even if Li Dong was angry, at most, he would return to the capital. Was Li Dong going to rush to his house like Old Man Sun did?
When the richest man went home to worship the ancestors, the whole village, even the whole city, and even the whole province would pay attention.
If it was exaggerated, there might even be higher-ups paying attention.
At this time, the richest man's cousin was actually forced to the door by debt collectors, and it was just a matter of hundreds of thousands. It was extremely embarrassing.
On the one hand, the Li family's upbringing would be questioned, and Li Dong's character would also be questioned.
That was your cousin. You're the richest man in the country, but you don't even take care of your family. How cold-blooded!
They didn't care about the reason. They only knew that the richest man's cousin couldn't even take out hundreds of thousands of yuan.
It was normal for ordinary people to not be able to, but it was not normal for the richest man's cousin to not be able to take out so little money.
Weren't you, Li Dong, the only son?
Although the cousin was a little worse than the biological brother, he was still a blood relative. Not only would Li Dong's harsh image be spread, but Li Dong's parents would also be exposed.
Li Chengyuan was Li Nanming's biological uncle. If your son didn't take care of him, you also wouldn't take care of him?
Li Nanming's father passed away, and you were the eldest in the Li family.
Your son had so much money that he couldn't spend it all, and you just watched your nephew get into trouble?
As for whether Li Dong and Li Nanming didn't get along, and whether Li Nanming was useless, no one would care at this time.
Everyone would only choose the topics they were interested in. Who would have the time to analyze the inside story?
Although this move wouldn't affect Li Dong, it was still disgusting.
After the incident, Li Dong's reputation wouldn't be good. Maybe this would be the start of him falling from grace.
His reputation would be tarnished, and Li Dong's legend and miracle would gradually be forgotten.
Just like Huang Guangyu. When he was the richest man in the country, he was very famous.
But gradually, his social image changed. Until now, even if Old Huang wasn't unbearably smelly, the whole society believed that his wealth was the original sin.
In fact, most of the merchants who started their business at that time were not like this.
The reason why Old Huang was brought out was because he was famous as the richest man in the country. The other reason was that someone deliberately magnified his past.
Otherwise, if he really wanted to keep a low profile, how many people knew about Old Huang's family history?
In the car.
Li Dong was digesting this news. After a while, he slowly nodded and said, "Understood. Young Master Zhuang, please get in the car. We will talk about the cooperation later."
Zhuang Fan smiled. Previously, Li Dong's attitude was unclear.
Now because of this news, Li Dong had preliminarily agreed to the cooperation.
As for selling Chen Rui, Zhuang Fan really didn't care.
So what if he sold him?
That guy actually wanted to use him as a chess piece. He thought too highly of him.
Now, not only did he solve the problem of Hu Xiaorui, but he also saved the Zhuang family's and his reputation. He could also further cooperate with Li Dong. This was the greatest benefit.
At the same time, he could also cause some trouble for Li Dong.
No matter how useless Chen Rui was, he was still the son of a government official.
If Li Dong really wanted to deal with Chen Rui, it was very likely that some people would be involved. At that time, he could really sit back and watch the show.
This should be considered killing three birds with one stone!
Zhuang Fan had a faint smile on his face. The one who had the last laugh would be the winner. Although it was a little embarrassing just now, there were only three people who heard it. Would Li Dong spread it?
No!
Would Hu Xiaorui spread it?
Also not!
In fact, in front of Li Dong, he would only take a small step back and it would not affect anything else.
Zhuang Fan calmly got into his car. Li Dong, on the other hand, looked at his back.
Hu Xiaorui, who was beside him, said vaguely, "Another treacherous official Xu."
When it came to judging people, Hu Xiaorui was a little special in this aspect. Even Li Dong was a little impressed by her.
