Li Dong's father wasn't called Li Gang, so Hu Sicheng naturally wouldn't know him.
Of course, Hu Sicheng's goal wasn't to know who Li Dong's father was.
Li Dong briefly introduced his entrepreneurial history, and Hu Sicheng immediately had a whole new level of respect for this student who had just turned 20.
Starting from scratch, single-handedly, in just a year, he created tens of millions of wealth!
If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Hu Sicheng would've thought he was listening to a story.
In the 80s and 90s, there were many inspirational stories about people who started from scratch. But in the 21st century, there were only a handful of people who could match Li Dong's story in the whole of Pingchuan.
Li Dong didn't say this to blow his own trumpet, but to make Hu Sicheng pay more attention to him.
In this day and age, relationships didn't need to be talked about, nor did it need to be talked about.
Li Dong and Hu Sicheng naturally didn't have relationships, and even if there was Fang Qingfei and Wang Jia, they were worlds apart. Since there was no relationship to talk about, then it was time to show his value.
A millionaire who started from scratch, a 20 year old rich man, and the boss of a chain store with more than 10 stores. This identity was enough for Hu Sicheng to pay attention to.
Only then could the two of them have a conversation.
Otherwise, if a student were to talk to a deputy mayor, even if the deputy mayor wasn't valued, he wasn't someone Li Dong could look up to.
After the small talk, the main topic was naturally next.
Because it was the first time they met, there were some things that Li Dong just skimmed over and didn't talk about in depth.
Hu Sicheng was able to become a deputy dean and a deputy mayor for a few years, so naturally, he wasn't a fool.
Listening to a bosom friend, Li Dong only meant one thing — please protect him!
Although Li Dong didn't say it explicitly, Hu Sicheng heard it.
This was somewhat out of his expectations. To be honest, he was just a decoration in the district, a deputy mayor that couldn't be any more marginal, and couldn't even compare to some of the department directors with real power.
At this time, Li Dong wanted to rely on him, which was really incomprehensible to outsiders.
Hu Sicheng was pondering over Li Dong's deeper meaning, or rather, he was wondering if Li Dong had heard something.
After thinking for a while, Hu Sicheng said tentatively, "Xiao Li, you probably don't know this, but the time for my temporary assignment is up. I might return to school in the second half of the year."
Li Dong said with an indifferent expression, "It would be great if the teacher really came back. At that time, I would be able to bask in the limelight. I wouldn't even have to be afraid of failing."
Hu Sicheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "You brat, did I come back to school so that you won't fail any subjects?"
Both of them laughed heartily, but did not continue the topic.
No one was a fool. Some things were fine as long as they understood it in their hearts.
As for the deep relationship between a teacher and a student, that was nonsense. Not to mention that Hu Sicheng had never taught Li Dong before, even if he had taught Li Dong before, there was no such thing as a teacher-student relationship.
It was fine as long as they made their stance clear during their first conversation.
Li Dong didn't say anything more. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Hu Sicheng, he bid farewell to Sun Tao.
…
After leaving Hu Sicheng's house, Zhou Haidong and Zheng Long quickly followed.
Zhou Haidong looked around vigilantly and said in a low voice, "General Manager Li, there's nothing unusual outside."
Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Were these two addicted to acting?
Zhu Hongtao was a gangster, not an assassin. Li Dong asked them to come here to prevent them from being ganged up on, not to prevent an assassination. Was there a need to be so nervous?
Moreover, this was Jiangzhou University, a national key university. Zhu Hongtao would only cause trouble here if he had a death wish.
Li Dong didn't bother to argue with them. He turned around and said to Sun Tao, "Send some shopping vouchers to Mayor Hu later."
Sun Tao nodded. He knew that Li Dong was preparing to do something cold.
As for why he didn't send money, as long as Li Dong and Sun Tao weren't stupid, they definitely wouldn't do such a thing now.
They just met for the first time, and they wanted to send money to Hu Sicheng. Even if Hu Sicheng had the intention, he probably wouldn't have the guts to accept it.
However, Sun Tao still had some doubts. He asked in a low voice, "Mayor Hu is going to be promoted?"
Hu Sicheng was only a deputy mayor, and his ranking was low. Even if there was a change in the district, it wouldn't be Hu Sicheng's turn.
Li Dong shook his head and didn't explain. It was hard for him to explain.
Hu Sicheng's promotion was certain, and it seemed to be coming soon.
This was because his temporary position was about to expire. If he didn't get promoted, he would go back to school. Since he didn't go back to school, Hu Sicheng would probably have to make a move soon.
No matter what, there was no harm in making friends with Hu Sicheng now.
The two talked for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Dong sent Sun Tao home first.
As soon as Sun Tao left, Li Dong ran into an acquaintance.
"Li Dong, why are you here?"
Seeing Fang Qingfei, Li Dong was also surprised. Speak of the devil.
He had just used Fang Qingfei to make friends with Hu Sicheng, and then he ran into Fang Qingfei. Could it be that she had Heavenly Hearing?
Without replying to Fang Qingfei, Li Dong asked, "I should be the one asking you. Isn't your dormitory at the South Gate? Why are you here?"
Fang Qingfei rolled her eyes and said sourly, "Why do you care? I'm happy!"
Seeing that Li Dong was about to leave, Fang Qingfei blocked his way again, "Don't go first. I still have something to ask you."
"Speak!"
Fang Qingfei was used to bickering with Li Dong, so she didn't mind Li Dong's cold attitude.
But just when she was about to speak, she saw two cold-looking fellows behind Li Dong, so she curiously asked, "Your friends?"
"Bodyguards!" Li Dong gave a perfunctory reply.
In the end, Fang Qingfei really believed him and looked at Zhou Haidong and Zheng Long with curiosity.
After a long time, she mumbled, "Why do bodyguards look like this? There's no mystery at all."
The corners of Zhou Haidong and Zheng Long's mouths twitched. Were bodyguards not humans? Did they have to look so strange?
Li Dong naturally heard it, but he couldn't be bothered with Fang Qingfei. She was just a chuunibyou, so don't treat her as a teacher.
Seeing that Fang Qingfei wasn't speaking, Li Dong impatiently said, "Don't you have something to ask?"
"Why are you so fierce?"
Fang Qingfei snorted. Seeing that Li Dong was about to leave, she immediately said, "Don't go. I haven't asked anything yet."
Li Dong stopped and looked at her helplessly. "Can you hurry up? I still have something to do."
"What do you have to do? I haven't even looked for you for skipping classes all day." Fang Qingfei mumbled.
Seeing that Li Dong's face was turning black again, Fang Qingfei returned to the topic, "I just want to ask if you have a car."
Li Dong was baffled. What does it have to do with you that I have a car?
Or could it be that Fang Qingfei knows that I don't have a car, so she's here to look down on me?
Seeing that Li Dong wasn't speaking, Fang Qingfei anxiously asked, "Do you have a car or not?"
Li Dong's face darkened as he snapped, "No!"
Hearing that, Fang Qingfei was suddenly disappointed. She grumbled, "You are a big boss. Why don't you buy a car?"
Li Dong was speechless. He really couldn't be bothered with her. He turned around and left.
Fang Qingfei knew that Li Dong didn't have a car, so she didn't stop him.
She just shouted from behind, "Li Dong, you have a big face. If you can borrow a car, help me borrow a good car!"
"Rent it yourself!"
Li Dong didn't care what Fang Qingfei wanted to do. He perfunctorily left.
After Li Dong left, Fang Qingfei snorted, "If I can afford it, I won't have to listen to you, bastard!"
