City Hall Courtyard.
Li Dong was too embarrassed to come empty-handed, but it was inappropriate to bring too many gifts. He took two bottles of wine and entered the door.
The door was opened by Shen Xuehua.
When she saw Li Dong, Shen Xuehua looked at the wine in his hand and could not help but frown. "Bring nothing, but bring wine to harm people. You men …"
If it was someone else who came to visit, Shen Xuehua would definitely not say that. She treated guests politely, and no one said anything bad about it.
However, when it came to Li Dong, Shen Xuehua was especially demanding, and she was not very happy to see him.
If she could find fault with Li Dong, she generally did not mind a few words of ridicule.
This guy, he abducted her daughter, and even his parents did not recognize him. It would be strange if Shen Xuehua was happy to see him.
In the past, her daughter was very obedient and did whatever she was told. Now, her words were not even half as effective as Li Dong.
For Shen Xuehua's ridicule, Li Dong could only smile foolishly.
What could he say?
Shen Xuehua was still polite now, and she had helped him a lot not long ago. He could not fall out with her, right?
Moreover, she was Shen Qian's mother, and Li Dong could not do anything about it.
As Shen Xuehua was speaking, Du Anmin's voice came from inside the house. "Let him in. He is old and nags all day long."
Shen Xuehua heard that and immediately turned hostile. "Who is old! What did I say? "
Du Anmin did not reply. He looked relaxed. He wore his glasses and read the newspaper while greeting Li Dong. "Have a seat. Did you arrive in the afternoon?"
"Yes, I just arrived in the afternoon. Uncle Du, Auntie Shen, Qianqian asked me to say hello to you …"
"Hehe, I have to ask you to pass a message to my daughter to say hello. Only she could think of that."
Du Anmin couldn't help but complain. Sure enough, a grown girl couldn't be kept at home. No wonder Shen Qian's mother was unhappy.
Du Anmin's identity was not suitable. Otherwise, when he saw Li Dong, he would have to show him his strength.
Li Dong laughed dryly. He knew this banquet wouldn't be a good one.
However, this old couple was already being polite by not scolding him. What else could Li Dong say? He maintained a smile on his face and did not dare to reply.
Seeing this, Du Anmin sighed slightly and said, "If you can maintain this attitude, then there won't be so many problems. I told you a long time ago that you have to be patient. It was not a good thing to be unable to take a loss. Do you think you're making a profit if you don't suffer losses? Think about the consequences before you act. "
Li Dong nodded and said, "Got it. I will do business honestly in the future."
"It's too much to believe 30% of what you say," Du Anmin said.
Li Dong smiled bitterly. The old man was still going against him today. What did he mean by 30% of what I say? Everything I say is true.
Of course, when Du Anmin said that, he did not treat himself as an outsider.
If he were an outsider, he would not say that.
Seeing that Shen Xuehua was still at the side, Du Anmin did not say anything more about Li Dong. He looked up and said, "Go to the kitchen and see if the food is ready. I'm hungry and waiting to eat."
Shen Xuehua pursed her lips and did not say anything. She turned around and went into the kitchen.
The Du family did have a housekeeper. However, Li Dong came over today. After the housekeeper finished cooking, Shen Xuehua sent her back.
Once Shen Xuehua left, Du Anmin said again, "As for Su An, return to normal as soon as possible. Jia Wenhao, you have offended him badly this time. Be careful in the future. Jia Wenhao is not as weak as you think. He was led by the nose by you this time because of Han Yu. Jia Wenhao used all his means a few years ago. In Jiangbei, even I could not suppress him. It was mainly because of Han Yu. This time, you have taken down Han Yu. On one hand, you have dealt him a heavy blow. On the other hand, you have freed him from his restraints. Be careful. "
Li Dong said with a lustful expression, "I understand. However, after this time, he should leave. When he climbs back up, it will take at least ten years. No one can say what will happen in ten years. "
"As long as you know what you are doing."
Du Anmin did not say much. A slight reminder was enough.
Li Dong was now a celebrity. He was the richest man in Hua Xia, the head of a private corporation. He controlled the Far away Foundation, which had made great contributions in Sichuan. He controlled the number one media platform, Weibo …
Li Dong, who was getting more and more powerful, was now considered a top figure in the country.
It was indeed hard to say what would happen in ten years.
Furthermore, politics was dangerous. It was also hard to say how high Jia Wenhao could go.
There was no need to use things that would happen in ten years to scare him.
Of course, he still needed to be vigilant.
After saying this, Du Anmin did not go further. He did not tell Li Dong about the plans he had with the Jia Family and others.
Of course, Li Dong did not want to hear about it. The more he knew, the more troublesome it would be.
When Shen Xuehua came back, Du Anmin changed the topic, "Far away Logistics Park is going to open?"
Li Dong quickly said, "Soon. It is set to open on October 2nd. Uncle Du, are you free to go?"
Du Anmin really wanted to go and take a look. Far away Logistics Park was promoted by him.
However, at the beginning, Wanhu Group, who took over the logistics park, almost had the biggest unfinished project in Hua Dong.
Fortunately, Li Dong took over in time and saved Du Anmin's face.
As for Far away Logistics Park, which would be the biggest logistics park in Hua Dong in the future, of course, Du Anmin wanted to go and take a look.
Unfortunately, he could not leave now.
Even if he could, he could not go there.
He had left Jiangbei for less than a year, and now he went to Jiangbei. What would Qin Hanyuan think?
In the officialdom, one could not do as he wished. Sometimes, a small matter could cause all kinds of speculation. He should avoid it if he could.
Du Anmin sighed softly and said, "Forget it. I won't go. I will take some photos and ask Qianqian to send them to me."
"Okay, I'll get you a complete video."
Du Anmin paused for a while and laughed. "It's an old idea. I can't keep up with you youngsters. I have seen the Weibo video campaign, and it's not bad. The internet is changing every day, and the internet industry is changing people's lives. I will be attending the internet conference tomorrow. I hope to see the sparks between the two of you. You are doing well in the internet industry. Tomorrow, remember to introduce me to a few leaders in the internet industry. Beijing also needs the support of high-tech industries like yours. "
Li Dong heard this and laughed. It's not easy for this old man to ask me for help.
But then again, this was normal.
Jinling is considered a first-tier city in China, and the Mayor of Jinling had invited Ma Huateng to visit Jinling three times. But his Brother Ma refused to go because he had something to do.
Even the Sunan Provincial Party Committee had sent people to visit Jinling, but the other party ignored them.
Although Beijing is the capital, the capital does not mean everything. If the other party does not want to invest in Beijing, there is nothing you can do.
But if you have a big shot in the industry to introduce you, at least there is hope for you to sit down and talk.
Li Dong is such a person now.
Old Du's casual words also represent a point. Li Dong's status is getting higher and higher, and he can influence people like him.
As the two of them were talking, the doorbell rang again.
Du Anmin looked at Shen Xuehua, and Shen Xuehua shook her head. "I don't know who it is. I didn't inform you in advance."
Old Du's place is not a place anyone can come to. When Li Dong entered the door, he was checked several times.
Now that he came without an appointment, he is obviously not an ordinary person.
Shen Xuehua stood up to open the door, but Li Dong is embarrassed to sit and quickly said. "Auntie Shen, let me open the door."
Shen Xuehua hesitated for a while and said. "Go ahead."
Asking Li Dong to open the door is not as simple as just opening the door.
He is a guest, and you are embarrassed to order him around. Moreover, Li Dong's social status is not low. Do you have the nerve to ask him to open the door for you?
However, when he thought about it again, his daughter had already been tricked away, and she looked like she would not marry anyone else. What was the point of being polite?
…
The door opened.
Before Li Dong had time to see who it is, he heard someone shout excitedly. "Aunt, I'm here …"
Li Dong's mouth twitched, but he did not reply.
The guy who shouted was also stunned when he saw the figure. After a while, he said embarrassedly, "You, why are you here?"
Li Dong glanced at him and said lightly, "I come as I please. Do you have a problem with that?"
"You!"
Shen Hang was half dead with anger, but considering that he is at his aunt's house and uncle is also home, he did not dare to lose his temper. He held his throat and muttered, "Who cares? Is my sister back?"
"No."
"Then let me in. Why are you blocking the way?"
Shen Hang was a little unhappy. Does this guy not see me standing outside the door?
Li Dong could not be bothered with him and turned to enter the house.
Shen Hang followed closely behind. Seeing Shen Xuehua, he quickly said, "Aunt, I'm here to see you."
Then he looked at Du Anmin and said solemnly, "Uncle."
Du Anmin nodded slightly and said slowly, "Why didn't you call?"
Shen Hang said dryly, "I … I called, but no one answered. Aunt's phone seems to be off."
Seeing him so scared, Shen Xuehua said helplessly, "You're here just in time. Let's have dinner together. Where's your dad?"
"He's not here, so I'm here."
Shen Hang was really a little afraid of Du Anmin. Seeing Shen Xuehua answer, he immediately changed his target.
But just as he changed the topic, Du Anmin said again, "Li Dong is here too. Don't you know him?"
"Yes, yes …"
Shen Hang replied dryly, but did not know how to continue the conversation.
Li Dong did not stand on ceremony and said with a smile, "I know Little Hang. Just call me Brother Dong. Let's have a few drinks later."
"Ahem!"
Even Du Anmin was embarrassed to answer. Shen Hang was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and he had the nerve to call him brother.
But Old Du did not say anything. If Li Dong really became his son-in-law, Shen Hang would have to call him brother-in-law.
Shen Hang looked at Shen Xuehua with a bitter face, but Shen Xuehua did not look at him and got up to go to the kitchen.
Shen Hang had no help now, so he could only say awkwardly, "Brother Dong."
"Yes." Li Dong nodded and said with a smile, "I heard from your sister that you're now training in the Shen family?"
"Sort of." Shen Hang's mouth twitched as he reluctantly answered.
'Damn, can you not look at me like a father looking at his son? It feels very awkward.'
But he had to answer. Du Anmin was sitting next to him, and he was also a little afraid of Li Dong. He could not afford to offend either of them, so he could only be a grandson.
If he had known that Li Dong was here, he would not have come here even if he was beaten to death.
"Do your job well. You have to look like a job. When you enter the enterprise, don't think of yourself as a son of the Shen family. You're also twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old …"
Du Anmin could not bear to listen anymore. He got up and said, "Let's eat. We'll talk later."
Li Dong clicked his tongue. He was not satisfied yet.
Just now, when Du Anmin and his wife were here, he was at the level of a grandson and looked pitiful in front of them.
Now that he had finally met someone who was at the level of a grandson, he could at least give him a chance to hold his head high.
Shen Hang did not give him a chance to continue showing off. As soon as Du Anmin spoke, Shen Hang ran to the kitchen. As he ran, he said, "I'll go and help."
When he entered the kitchen, Du Anmin shook his head and said, "He really needs more training. I thought you were not steady, but he is even more so."
Li Dong's face darkened. 'Is it really appropriate for you to say that?'
…
At the dinner party, with Shen Hang around, Li Dong was a lot more relaxed.
Shen Xuehua also gave up on ridiculing Li Dong and turned to ridicule Shen Hang.
There were many descendants in the Shen family, but because of the relationship with Shen Qian, Shen Xuehua also valued Shen Hang more. As for the others, Shen Xuehua was not close to them, and they did not dare to come to the Du family.
In Shen Xuehua's view, it was the best choice for Shen Hang to take over the Shen family, so naturally, she was a little more concerned.
Of course, Shen Xuehua naturally understood that Shen Hang was afraid of Du Anmin, so he would not come here if he had nothing to do.
There must be something for him to come this late at night.
Li Dong was at the dinner party, so she did not ask.
After the dinner, Du Anmin took Li Dong to the side to continue talking. Only then did Shen Xuehua find a chance to ask, "Little Hang, is there something wrong with your father?"
Shen Hang was a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, "There is something I want to talk to you about, but my father is too embarrassed to come, so he asked me to come. Actually, I … I'm also too embarrassed to come. It's a little complicated. "
Shen Xuehua frowned and said, "What is it? Still beating around the bush. But let me tell you in advance, I'll try my best to help. If I can't help, it's useless even if your father comes. Your father really knows how to order people around. He asked you to come to me. What unreliable thing did he do this time? "
"Ahem …" Shen Hang was a little embarrassed and said softly, "Actually, I'm not too sure. My father said that he invested two hundred million, but now he can't get it back. He said that you know about it, and he wants to get the money back. "
"Two hundred million? I know about it? "
Shen Xuehua frowned. What two hundred million? What do I know about it?
Also, looking for her with the money, who would she look for …
Just as she thought of this, Shen Xuehua's pupils shrank slightly, and then she frowned and said, "Your father said that I know about it? I can get the money back? "
"Yes, that's what he said."
"Shen Jianmin!"
Shen Xuehua snorted coldly. If she still did not understand at this time, she would be really stupid.
Obviously, the Shen family's money was among the five billion.
In the end, Shen Xuehua only found out about this now. The Shen family had not informed her before.
Now, seeing that the money couldn't be gotten back, she was anxious. She did not dare to come forward and asked Shen Hang to come to her for help. Shen Jianmin was really calculative.
Shen Xuehua suppressed the anger in her heart and refused without hesitation. "I can't do anything about this. Ask him to discuss it with Li Dong himself."
"Li Dong?"
Shen Hang was a little dazed. Clearly, he did not understand how he got involved with Li Dong.
At this time, Shen Xuehua frowned and said, "Before you came, did your father say that Li Dong is here?"
She now suspected that Shen Jianmin had probably guessed that Li Dong was here, and that was why he asked Shen Hang to come.
In the Shen family, other than Shen Xuehua and her mother, Shen Hang had the most contact with Li Dong. Perhaps Shen Jianmin felt that it was easier to talk to him this way.
If he asked Li Dong for money in front of Shen Xuehua and her husband, he might really get it back.
After all, two hundred million was not a small amount. The Shen family could not afford to lose it.
Thinking of this, Shen Xuehua revealed a cold smile. Her big brother was not capable, but he had a lot of plots and schemes.
Shen Hang said blankly, "My father did not say that he was …"
"If he didn't say, then forget it. You don't have to worry about this. Ask your father to come forward himself, but it's useless. The money is in Li Dong's hands. Tell your father to stop dreaming if you want to get it back. It's a good thing that he didn't cut you. Go back and tell your father not to look for me if something like this happens again. I won't help him. "
Shen Xuehua really didn't have any feelings for the Shen family now. These people even dared to scheme against her. Before she paid, they didn't even inform her and even deliberately hid it from her. What was the meaning of this?
Now that something had happened, they thought of her. Did they really think that she would help them?
If the Shen family had told her in advance, she might have persuaded them not to pay.
In the end, she did not say anything. It would be strange if Shen Xuehua cared about him.
Shen Hang was stunned for a moment. Seeing her aunt's unhappy face, he did not know what to say. He nodded dryly and said, "I understand."
…
In the study.
Du Anmin and Li Dong spoke a few words.
Finally, he stood up and said, "At this point, I have nothing to teach you. But there is one thing I have to remind you. Stay away from politics! It's okay to get close to the government, invest in cooperation, and seek policies. But remember, do not get too involved. If you get too involved, trouble will automatically find you. It doesn't matter if you are the richest man. "
Li Dong said, "Uncle Du, I understand."
"You don't understand!"
Du Anmin sighed softly and shook his head. "If you really understand, don't attend the wedding in a few days. It's fine as long as you show your sincerity. There are some things that you should not be involved in. Forget it, slowly figure it out yourself. "
With that, Du Anmin left the study.
Li Dong was slightly stunned. Was he talking about Zhou Yue and Wu Qingping's wedding?
He did not think too much about it. The Zhou family had helped him before, and he was on good terms with Zhou Yue. If someone invited him to a wedding, it would not be a problem for him to attend.
But from the looks of it, it was not that simple.
The Zhou and Wu family's marriage alliance would have very few guests. It was not that there would be no businessmen, but they would be the spokespersons of the two families.
But if he went …
Li Dong thought about it. It did seem a little troublesome. It might give outsiders a wrong impression.
He did not think too much about it, but did the Zhou and Wu families really not know?
Or could it be that this was the effect they wanted?
If outsiders really thought of him as a vassal of the two families, if others wanted to attack them in the future, would they think of him first? After all, it was the most convenient to attack the opponent from a business perspective.
Or, would they use him as a shield?
Li Dong frowned. He was too unwary and too trusting of the Zhou family's goodwill. These days, there were indeed not many simple people.
