While everyone was laughing.
Li Dong's phone rang.
Li Dong frowned as he looked at his phone. He answered the call with a smile. "Governor Jia, what can I do for you?"
…
Jiangbei.
Su 'an New City.
Jia Wenhao found it hard to speak. After a while, he said, "General Manager Li, it's like this …"
Jia Wenhao said a few words. What he meant was that since we have such a good relationship, my sister is also your sister.
It was not a big deal to treat his sister to a meal in Beijing.
Of course, Jia Wenhao would not force Li Dong. If Li Dong was really busy, then so be it.
But if he had time, it would not take up Li Dong's time to have a meal with his sister.
In short, my sister is your sister. You should at least show some appreciation …
…
Beijing.
Li Dong wanted to laugh. Our relationship is good?
So good that your sister's family is my sister's family?
Also, it is hard to say who is older between your sister and me.
Li Dong did not expect Jia Wenhao to call him personally. To be honest, he felt a little embarrassed.
He was a deputy minister. Because of this, he had to pull strings and plead for his sister. His status was lowered.
Jia Wenhao was probably embarrassed too. After a while, he said, "General Manager Li, I only have one girl in my family. My father and father have always doted on her. I owe you a favor. When we return to Jiangbei, I will treat you to a meal. "
"You are too kind, Governor Jia."
Li Dong chuckled. Jia Wenhao had personally called for this meal, so he was too embarrassed to refuse.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong said, "It is just a meal. Governor Jia, I am being stingy. I will treat you today. When we return, I will also treat you to a meal to discuss the new city."
Jia Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled. "No problem. I will thank General Manager Li on behalf of Jia Yi."
Jia Wenhao thought for a while and hesitated. But in the end, he said in a roundabout way, "My sister is simple and direct. Sometimes, when he spoke, he would say whatever he wanted to say. If she said or did anything wrong, please forgive General Manager Li and don't take it seriously. There's only one girl in the family. Old Master and my father hope that she can be happy … "
Li Dong's face darkened, and he said indifferently, "Jia Sheng, how about we forget about this meal?"
How could he not understand Jia Wenhao's hidden meaning?
To put it simply, this little sister of mine is very silly and naive. Don't ever try to seduce her.
It would be useless even if he seduced her. The Jia Family hoped that Jia Yi could stay for a few more years, or they could simply look for a son-in-law. In any case, their daughter would not marry out of the family. Could you, Li Dong, do such a thing?
However, Li Dong was also suppressing his anger. I only agreed to eat this meal because I gave you face!
Do you really think that my, Li Dong's, face is worthless?
So many people wanted to eat with him!
People from the Entrepreneur Club were queuing up. They were all tycoons from various industries!
Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had just said that when he was free, he would invite Li Dong to visit the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for a chat and a meal.
There were still many people waiting to treat him to a meal. Even Hu Xiaorui had to decline the meal last night because Li Dong's schedule was tight.
In the end, because you, Jia Wenhao, interceded, I gave you face and agreed to have a meal with a girl who knew nothing.
In the end, you still beat around the bush. Do you really think that I want to curry favor with the Jia Family?
When Li Dong said this, Jia Wenhao also felt his dissatisfaction.
Jia Wenhao felt a little helpless. He did not want to say this, but the key was that he was afraid.
Li Dong might not look impressive, but he was still afraid.
But the more successful a man was, the more attractive he was.
His little sister had called him, begged and made a fuss. In the end, she even threatened to complain to his father and Old Master.
Jia Wenhao had no choice but to make this call.
But he still hoped that Li Dong had nothing to do with the Jia Family. The two sides had just had a conflict. In the blink of an eye, the daughter of the Jia Family and Li Dong got together. How could Jia Wenhao show his face in public if the news got out?
But in this way, he would indeed appear to be narrow-minded.
He had not crossed the river yet, but he was already burning the bridge after crossing it. It would be strange if Li Dong was happy.
Jia Wenhao exhaled and said dryly, "General Manager Li, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that …"
"You misunderstood me, Minister Jia."
Li Dong said indifferently, then continued, "Since I've agreed, I naturally won't go back on my word. A meal isn't much. But don't worry, Minister Jia. I am not interested in spoiled children. "
After saying this, Li Dong hung up the phone.
Jia Wenhao was stunned for a moment. After a while, he said angrily and amusedly, "This guy!"
Shaking his head, Jia Wenhao did not mind Li Dong's attitude.
…
Outside the main entrance of the International Convention Center.
Li Dong waited in place for a while, and then Jia Yi ran over with a few girls.
Seeing that Li Dong was waiting, Jia Yi blushed. But because her friend was here, she was embarrassed to say anything else. She pretended to be familiar with him and said, "Li Dong, where are we going to eat? We are not familiar with this area … "
Without waiting for her to finish, Li Dong smiled faintly and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon. Let's find a place closer. Did you drive here or … "
"We drove here," Jia Yi said hurriedly.
"Okay, my car is in front. You follow behind. Just get off when we arrive."
"Okay, let's go get the car …"
Jia Yi did not dare to say more. She hurriedly took the others to get the car.
Li Dong shook his head slightly. He was still a child. He could roughly see that his role was to raise his reputation.
Li Dong was not interested in these boring fights for reputation.
As for the other girls, he wasn't interested in getting to know them.
If he was still the Li Dong from before, at this time, he could make use of these people's names. He might even fantasize about clinging to their family backgrounds.
But now, Li Dong was not interested.
Even if their fathers were here, Li Dong would be polite, but he would not curry favor with them too much. There was no need for that.
The more it was now, the more he had to be cautious and stay away.
Du Anmin previously said to be close to the government and stay away from politics. These words were very suitable for the current Li Dong.
He could go to the government to ask for policies and help, but he had to focus on official matters. As for personal relationships, there was not much need for that.
Just as Li Dong was thinking about this, Du Anmin's car stopped in front of him.
Seeing Li Dong standing there, Du Anmin rolled down the window and said, "Waiting for someone?"
Li Dong said helplessly, "Jia Yi. Jia Wenhao called and asked me to have a meal with him."
Du Anmin pondered for a moment. He did not pay much attention to Jia Yi. After a while, he said, "Jia Wenhao is still too emotional. Sometimes, he does not consider things thoroughly. Since he asked you to help, then you should go. You can take the opportunity to push the responsibility to him. "
Li Dong's pupils shrank. Then, he nodded and said, "I understand."
Du Anmin smiled and did not say anything else. He closed the window and let the driver drive away.
Li Dong understood what he meant just now.
It was best for others to know that he was having a meal with Jia Yi.
As for the responsibility, what was it?
Of course, it was Li Dong's responsibility for scheming against Han Yu, Old Lu, and the others.
Now that Han Yu had left, everyone probably thought that this was Li Dong's scheme. Han Yu was forced to leave. Some people still sympathized with Han Yu and the Jia Family.
But once the news of Li Dong having a meal with the daughter of the Jia Family got out, what would the outsiders think?
Perhaps most people's first thought was not that Jia Yi acted on her own or that Jia Wenhao doted on this girl.
They probably thought that Li Dong and the Jia Family had been working together for a long time!
Didn't that mean that all of this was a conspiracy?
From the beginning to the end, the Jia Family was in the know!
Or to be more serious, the Jia Family was the instigator of this plan!
They threw out Han Yu and schemed against everyone. Then, they sacrificed Han Yu and themselves at the same time.
At this time, no matter what plan the Jia Family launched, they would not think that it was forced. They would only think that everything was Jia Wenhao's or the Jia Family's scheme.
And those who originally hated Li Dong and felt that he was the mastermind would only point their spear at the Jia Family.
As for Li Dong, he naturally got rid of the responsibility of being the leader.
After that, the Jia Family would not have much effect even if they tried to defend themselves. Moreover, the Jia Family would not defend themselves. No one would believe them if they said it out, and they would lose face instead.
Previously, Li Dong did not think of this, but Du Anmin thought of it instantly.
Thinking of this, Li Dong could not help but shake his head. He was really not cut out for politics. Doing business was much simpler than officialdom.
As for Jia Wenhao, this guy must have lost his mind recently. He actually took the initiative to facilitate this matter.
…
For lunch, Li Dong randomly picked a restaurant.
He did not enter a private room, but ate in the hall.
Jia Yi and the rest did not care. They did not think much. Since Li Dong said to eat in the hall, they would eat in the hall.
Moreover, everyone's mind was not on the meal. During the meal, the few girls chattered and asked a lot of questions.
And Li Dong, with a smile on his face, gently explained to them one by one.
During the meal, Li Dong even took the initiative to talk about Jia Wenhao. He said that he was very close to Jia Wenhao, and that Jia Yi was Jia Wenhao's younger sister, which was not much different from Li Dong's younger sister. He asked everyone to take care of her.
When the meal ended, Li Dong made an excuse that he had something to do in the afternoon and left early.
After he left, the few girls chattered excitedly and said, "Jia Yi, it turns out that you really have a good relationship with Li Dong. We thought you were lying to us."
Jia Yi's little face turned red. She felt that Li Dong had given her too much face.
As for the resentment of being rejected previously, it also disappeared at this moment. Hearing that, she smiled and said, "Of course, what else do you think? I have known Li Dong for a long time, and my brother has a good relationship with him. If he wasn't so busy, I would have asked him to treat us every day … "
"Sigh, it's a bit of a pity. If I had known that he was so easy to talk to, I would have asked more people to come. But it's okay, Jia Yi, you have a good relationship with him. Next time, let's treat him to dinner and karaoke. "
"Yes, Jia Yi, next time you must be prepared in advance. Let's treat those guys. Let them see that Li Dong is an acquaintance of ours. "
"…"
The few girls said excitedly. Jia Yi felt guilty, but she still said with a smile, "No problem, I'll call him next time there's a chance. By the way, Fang Yu, don't be afraid, call me big sister! "
Fang Yu's expression was ugly. She pouted and mumbled after a while, "Big sister …"
"Louder, didn't you eat? You just ate, okay? "
"Big sister!"
Fang Yu roared, his face full of depression.
The others laughed and played, not caring about the attention of the other guests in the hall.
…
Outside the restaurant.
Li Dong glanced at the girls playing inside through the glass window and said in a self-deprecating tone, "It's good to be young. You don't know anything, and you're happy. Unlike us, who are full of evil tricks and even want to scheme against a few young girls. "
Tan Yong, who was driving, opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
He wanted to say, "You're not that old."
But the more time he spent with Li Dong, the more he understood that he shouldn't be judged by age.
At his age, others were still worrying about work, but Li Dong was already a billionaire and the richest man in the country. At this time, who would simply treat him as a 23-year-old young man?
…
That afternoon, Li Dong and the others went to Baidu to have a look.
Jia Yi and Li Dong had dinner together, and the news that Jia Wenhao and Li Dong were close friends gradually spread.
The girls were not people who could keep their mouths shut, and in their opinion, there was no need to keep their mouths shut.
In the eyes of the crowd, Li Dong treating others to a meal was a very honorable thing.
Many people in the circle had been warned by their parents not to provoke Li Dong, but Li Dong, who was seen as a scourge, had taken the initiative to treat them to a meal. If word got out, they would be proud in the circle!
If one person said so, everyone would doubt it.
But many people said so, and even many people in the restaurant saw this scene, so it was not fake.
Li Dong, Jia Wenhao, Han Yu …
Some people didn't care, but some people kept repeating these three names.
…
The Zhuang family.
Zhuang Fan muttered, "Is it really Jia Wenhao's scheme? But why do I feel that it doesn't seem like it. "
Old Master Zhuang, who was sitting at the side, gently knocked on the table. After a while, he said, "Whether it is or not, the Jia family has to take the blame. They took 500 million from us, and we will get it back sooner or later. Of course, now is not the time. "
Zhuang Fan sighed, nodded and said, "I know, but I still feel that this is Li Dong's plan."
"It doesn't matter how we see it. What matters is how others see it. Even if it's not Jia Wenhao, 90% of the people think it's him. That means it's true. You should understand this. "
"Got it." Zhuang Fan nodded and did not say anything else.
…
At the same time.
Jiangbei.
Jia Wenhao was holding the phone. On the other side of the phone, his old father said angrily, "I am more and more disappointed in you! I asked you to take care of Yi Er, not to use your brain! How can I trust you with the future of the Jia family when you are like this? Are you trying to anger me to death? Jia Wenhao, think about it carefully. If you go on like this, everyone will be disappointed in you, including your grandfather! "
Jia Wenhao took a deep breath and nodded slowly. "I'm sorry, Dad. I miscalculated."
"You did not miscalculate. You were just distracted by that woman, Han Yu. Is love really more important than anything else? Think about it carefully! "
"Beep, beep, beep …"
The busy tone on the phone made Jia Wenhao a little absent-minded. His eyes were filled with confusion.
