Below the restaurant.
Cheng Gang got into the car in a hurry. "Where's Fourth Brother?" he asked coldly.
The driver's heart skipped a beat. "CEO Hui left earlier. I think he's injured. His head is covered in blood."
"Bastard!"
Cheng Gang was furious. "Why didn't you stop him?!"
The driver's voice trembled. "I … I asked. CEO Hui said it's none of my business …"
"Idiot!"
Cheng Gang scolded. He took out his phone and made a call.
The phone was hung up after one ring. When he called again, the phone was switched off.
Cheng Gang knew what to do. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go home!"
The driver did not dare to retort and started the car.
In the car, Cheng Gang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Then, he made another call.
The moment the call went through, Cheng Gang said: "If Lao Si goes to your place, give me a call."
Cheng Ying asked suspiciously, "Didn't Fourth Brother go to the Annual Gala with you?"
"Don't ask! Yingzi, this is a matter of life and death for the Cheng family! That bastard Fourth Brother is going to drag the Cheng family down with him! Remember, if you see him, get someone to restrain him immediately. Remember what I said. Don't ask anything else. If you see him, wait for me to deal with him. Understand? "
Cheng Ying had never seen her big brother so serious and anxious. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She immediately said, "I know."
"Alright, I'm hanging up."
Cheng Gang hung up and dialed a few more numbers.
After the call, Cheng Gang mumbled, "Don't force me. I don't want to …"
…
At the same time.
Cheng Hui's eyes were filled with madness. "He told boss … Cheng Gang, don't force me …"
No one knew better than him how perverted and vicious Cheng Gang, who had always been amiable to the outside world, was.
Even Cheng Ying and Third Brother did not know. Only he knew what kind of person Cheng Gang was.
Cheng Hui did not want to die, but he knew his boss would not believe him.
Even if he promised, begged, or was willing to be a coward, his boss would not trust him.
For the sake of his future, his boss would not give him another chance to speak.
Even if Li Dong had something on him, Cheng Gang would not be more afraid of him.
Because Li Dong was just an outsider, there was no real pain. At most, there was some exchange of benefits. Otherwise, Li Dong would have released the video long ago.
Now that it had not been announced, it meant that there was room for discussion.
Cheng Hui was his wife. Even if he said he didn't care, who would believe him?
As for releasing the video and having a life-and-death struggle with Cheng Gang, Cheng Hui had no intention of doing so.
He would rather die than endure such humiliation.
Unless he really had no other way out, Cheng Hui would never want to be laughed at by the whole world.
…
In the banquet hall.
Tan Yong whispered something into Li Dong's ear.
Li Dong smiled and nodded to indicate that he heard it. Seeing this, Tan Yong left.
After Tan Yong left, Ma Yun said with a smile, "Did you cause trouble again?"
Li Dong chuckled. "Old Ma, don't use your narrow-mindedness to guess at everyone. I, Li Dong, am a righteous person. Where did you get the idea of causing trouble? You, on the other hand, are still selling fakes. How shameless! "
Ma Yun was already used to this bastard's tricks. He smiled faintly. "I've always felt that this world still has a sense of shame.
I have never denied that there are fakes in Taobao. I've always been reforming it to prevent such things from happening.
That's because I have a sense of shame.
But some people have no sense of shame. They break my bottom line time and time again, refreshing my understanding of the world.
A long time ago, someone said, 'Ma Yun, you're really thick-skinned!'
But now, no one has ever mentioned this to me. Because someone's shamelessness has broken through the limit and made everyone gasp in shock. Naturally, it has nothing to do with me, Ma Yun. "
Li Dong sneered and looked at Ma Huateng beside him. "Little Ma, tell me, who is more shameless between the two of us?"
Ma Huateng sighed softly. "I used to call you Brother Ma, but now you've become arrogant and turned hostile. You call me Little Ma, Little Ma so smoothly. Before you changed the way you addressed me, I still felt that Ma Yun was more shameless. But now … "
Ma Huateng shook his head and sighed. "Forget it. I'm not your match in terms of shamelessness …"
Before he finished speaking, Li Dong and Ma Yun said in unison, "You're really the most shameless!"
Ma Huateng said innocently, "I'm just speaking the truth. Why are you guys venting your anger on me?"
Li Dong could not be bothered to argue. He said casually, "Oh right, how much did you earn crossing the frontlines this year? It's already the end of the year. It's time to split the money. "
Ma Huateng's face froze. His calm expression from before instantly became turbulent. He said in a low and angry voice, "Li Dong, don't go too far! If you don't say it, I won't mention it! If you say it now, you're deliberately finding fault! There are so many people here now. It's not just one or two who want to beat you up. No matter how ruthless you are, it's hard for two fists to fight against four hands! Ma Yun, Yanhong, are you guys just going to stand by and watch? "
Ma Yun rubbed his fists and said, "Count me in!"
Li Yanhong said dryly, "Why bother? We're all cultured people …"
Ma Huateng said angrily, "We can be cultured. You're talking to a hooligan about being cultured? Don't forget how much you guys benefited from just a few words from him the last time! I know about that one million shares of yours. This guy has taken advantage of people when they're down more than once or twice! "
Li Yanhong was a little tempted. She said hesitantly, "Do you guys really want to do something so disgraceful?"
Ma Yun laughed and said, "We're getting old. If we don't be impulsive, the world will soon forget us old people."
"That's right!" Ma Huateng clenched his teeth and said.
Li Yanhong was a little tempted. "Then if you guys insist, I … I'll risk my life to accompany you."
Li Dong's eyebrows twitched. Seeing them rubbing their fists and Ma Huateng rolling up his sleeves, Li Dong's face turned green. "Don't do anything rash! You guys are shameless, but I am! If someone sees this, how am I going to live?! Huateng, don't be silly. If you hit me, you'll have to take responsibility. It's not worth it … "
Ma Huateng gritted his teeth and said, "Then give up the ownership of SmileGate!"
Li Dong said angrily, "You're giving money to the Koreans. What's wrong with giving it to me?!"
"If I give money to others, at least they don't laugh at me or taunt me. I'm willing to give it to them! But you bastard, how many times have you mocked me? I've had enough of you! "
Ma Huateng was full of resentment. If he gave money to others, they would at least remember it and flatter him.
But for Li Dong, other than jokes, other than taunting him, he was almost driven crazy!
Ma Yun also said with a smile, "Huateng, why are you still talking to him!
In the past, when this group of people were together, who didn't treat each other politely?
But now that there's a rat's poop in the pot, look at what's happening now?
He says he's going to beat us up and taunt us. We're being scolded like grandchildren. How are we going to live like this?
If I don't get revenge today, I won't be able to rest easy.
Now that there are so many people around and his bodyguards are not around, if we don't make a move today, we won't have another chance! "
Ma Huateng rolled up his sleeves and said eagerly, "Ma Yun, who's going first?"
"I'll count to three, we'll go together!"
"Yan Hong, don't play dead. Listen to the command and act!"
"…"
Li Dong's face turned green. He took two steps back and said, "Guys, let's talk this out. We can't afford to lose face like this. You're tarnishing the reputation of the IT industry. You're all public figures. If this gets out, how are you going to keep your foothold in the country? Don't make a big mistake because of a moment of impulse … "
Ma Yun grinned and said, "It's okay. What happened here today will not get out. We're all here. Who won't give us face? Besides, it's embarrassing to beat up others, but beating up you, Li Dong, that's a great satisfaction! Huateng, let's not talk about this. You must believe that if we beat him up and the news gets out, we'll only be praised and not criticized. There are too many people who want to see him get beaten up! "
"One!"
With that, Ma Yun started shouting.
Li Dong's face stiffened. The corner of his mouth twitched and he said, "Don't force me, you three. I don't want to fight anymore. Beating up old and weak people like you is not my goal."
"How dare you taunt us? Two!" Ma Yun continued shouting.
When Li Dong saw them rolling up their sleeves, he broke into a run toward the center of the crowd.
After he ran away, Ma Yun cursed, "This bastard. I've wanted to beat him up for a long time! If he didn't run fast … "
Li Yanhong also rolled down her sleeves and picked up a glass of wine. She smiled and said, "Forget it. It's enough to say a few harsh words. If you really beat him up and he cripples you, we won't save you."
Ma Huateng also shook his head helplessly and sighed. "This bastard is really annoying. I'm old and I can't afford to lose face. Otherwise, I wouldn't have scared him. I'd just go up and beat him up. "
The three of them looked at each other and then laughed.
Beating someone up was naturally a joke.
Of course, Li Dong also knew that. However, he probably knew that he was annoying, so he gave everyone a way out.
If Li Dong did not run just now, the three of them would have been embarrassed.
After chasing Li Dong away, Ma Huateng could not be bothered to continue the topic. He changed the topic. "Li Dong has been pushing for the payment license to be issued as soon as possible. I'm afraid he's going to make a big move. Ma Yun, what do you think? "
Ma Yun shook his head and said, "I'm not sure for now. However, it's inevitable that he'll make a move.
We don't have to be afraid. The development of the industry is good for us. The legalization of third-party payment is also what we want to see.
These few days, everyone should get some exercise and settle things as soon as possible.
Li Dong may be shameless, but there are many things that have helped us improve.
"Let's not talk about our side. Whether it's the Internet or the mobile payment industry, we've benefited greatly.
As for Huateng, although Li Dong is competing with you, he has also explored some avenues for you.
"Now, PP and QQ have been revised many times and are getting richer. If it wasn't for Li Dong, Tencent would not be developing as fast as it is now.
It's the same for Baidu. Whether it's Weibo or PP, there are many benefits for you guys.
We can fight, but we can't forget our original intentions. "
Ma Huateng laughed. "You don't need to remind us. We know what to do.
It's not about competition. I'm fed up with his shamelessness. Far away, Aleen is doing research and development, and they are short of manpower.
Guess what Li Dong instructed?
Feng Yu asked Aleen to poach people from Tencent, saying that they were all old friends. Tencent had a lot of people, and it was easy to use them.
"Because of this, I was so angry that I almost went to Far away to settle the score with him!
"Furthermore, he always disgusts me, especially in the video game industry. He has acquired the parent companies of the games I represent. How can I not be angry?
Never mind, let's not talk about him. The more I talk about him, the angrier I get.
"Next time, stop me when I'm angry. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back and beat him up!"
The few of them laughed and shook their heads.
What can you do when you meet such a troublemaker?
Hate? You can't hate him. Although this bastard is good with words, he is still a good person.
As for love, that was out of the question. Sometimes, she really wanted to beat him up.
At this time, you can only feel helplessness.
…
On the other side.
Li Dong cursed, "They're all f * cking crazy. Am I that hateful? They want to beat me up? I'm old now. If it was a few years ago, I would have beaten them up! "
Liu Chuanzhi was chatting with Old Wang and the others. When he heard this, Liu Chuanzhi could not help but sigh. "Li Dong, don't offend people anymore. I'm really old, or else I would want to beat you up. Next time you see Liu Qin, can you not call her your niece or niece? My eldest grandson is about the same age as you. I don't care, but the problem is that my whole family won't do it. Also, in front of us old geezers, you keep saying that you're old. I feel like you're purposely mocking someone. "
Old Wang smiled bitterly. "General Manager Li, I agree with Old Liu."
The others nodded in agreement.
Li Dong said, "Am I really that annoying?"
"Not really."
Ma Weihua said something fair and then said, "You're not annoying, you're just asking for a beating. How about we beat you up in private the next time we meet? "
Ma Weihua and Li Dong were not close, but he was one of the founders of the Entrepreneur Club and had some dealings with Li Dong.
Moreover, Li Dong had been promoting mobile payments and third-party payments recently, which made him unhappy with the banking industry.
He also did not have a good discussion with the major banks about express payments.
Ma Weihua did not hate him, but he wanted to take him down a notch.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Dong immediately begged for mercy, "Then forget it. I'll go further away from the next gathering. Brothers, you can't bully a young man like this. "
After joking, Li Dong said with a smile, "Brother Ma, both of you agreed to help me promote it. You're also a member of the Ma family, so you should be with us. You have to help me with the banking industry. It's best if we can get our license before New Year's Day. Brother, once this is done, we'll cooperate with China Merchants Bank first if we have any plans in the future. What do you think? "
Ma Weihua looked at Liu Chuanzhi and the others. Liu Chuanzhi said with a smile, "It's not easy for him. We should help him if we can. For the sake of all this, you've played the fool and amused us old fellows. You've done your best. I'll help to say a few words. You guys think about it. "
Ma Weihua hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, but my strength is limited. I'll try my best."
Old Wang saw that they had spoken, and it was inappropriate for him to not say anything. He could only say, "I'll try my best too."
Li Dong and Old Cow also nodded.
This was the advantage of being in the same circle. Everyone was in the same circle, and they often saw each other.
Now that Old Liu and the others supported Li Dong, if they did not help, they could not count on others to help in the future.
Seeing that everyone had agreed to help, Li Dong hurriedly thanked them.
Then, Li Dong started to mingle around. When he met someone he was familiar with, he would go up to talk to them and mention other things.
Almost 99% of the people agreed to help. Even the few big bosses in the banking industry could only nod helplessly when they were pestered by Li Dong.
When the banquet was about to end, many people felt emotional.
Li Dong, this guy, how should they put it? He was a flexible person. Although he had many flaws, it was hard for people to hate him.
Looking at his happy face, it was obvious that he had gained a lot today.
Even the few officials saw that Li Dong was like a fish in water in the business circle, and they could not help but think about him.
Li Dong, who was all alone, was actually not that scary. Li Dong, who was arrogant and overbearing, was even easier to deal with.
The key was that this guy was thick-skinned enough. No matter who he was, he could make friends with him. The people present today were all leaders of various fields. The power of this group was not something that anyone could ignore.
