At night.
In front of the Hu Family's villa.
In the Maybach, Shen Qian smiled and said, "Are you regretting bringing me along?"
Li Dong said solemnly, "No, I'm getting married soon. It's normal for me to bring my wife to a banquet. But of course, it's not normal for me to bring my mother-in-law. "
Shen Qian burst into laughter and pinched him. "It's fine if you tell me, but if my mom finds out, she'll be furious. Besides, she doesn't want to come with you even if you don't want to. She said that you're too much of a bandit, and she'll make a fool of herself if she goes with you. "
Shen Qian betrayed her mother without hesitation, while Li Dong said indignantly, "I'm a bandit? If I'm really a bandit, why would I hide from her? Your mom's menopause is getting more and more serious. She's almost 60, why hasn't she passed it yet … "
Shen Qian smiled and pinched him again. "It's fine for my mom to talk about it, but don't keep mentioning that she's 60. Besides, she's only 56. It's still too early for her to be 60."
"Is there a difference?"
Li Dong mumbled and looked at the time. "Let's get out. It's almost time."
Li Dong got out of the car first and helped Shen Qian get out.
Tonight, Shen Qian wore a gown, which made her look different from usual. She looked elegant and graceful.
As soon as they got out of the car, Shen Qian put her hand on Li Dong's arm and whispered, "You're here. I'm afraid you've been waiting for a long time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Xiaorui, who was not far away, also trotted over in a sapphire blue dress. She giggled from afar and said, "Li Dong, what took you so long? Why didn't you pick up my call? What kind of birthday present did you prepare for me this year? … "
Hu Xiaorui asked one question after another, and before Li Dong could say anything, Shen Qian chuckled, "Xiaorui, am I that inconspicuous?"
Hu Xiaorui glanced at her, then looked at her hand on Li Dong's arm and mumbled, "Is it my birthday or yours? You're dressed up, but you still look old. "
Shen Qian almost vomited blood. Can't you speak properly?
Li Dong also said, "Xiaorui, what are you talking about? You're so young, you look like you're 18. Apologize."
Shen Qian said, "Forget it. You's age. But I remember that someone is only a few years younger than me. Don't treat yourself as a kid."
Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui looked at her at the same time.
Shen Qian was speechless. She glared at Li Dong. Hu Xiaorui, what are you doing? You're not treating yourself as a kid. You're just pretending to be young!
The two of them seemed to be at odds with each other.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Alright, why are we standing at the door? Let's go in."
Hu Xiaorui said, "Where's my present?"
Li Dong remembered it and said, "It's in the car. I almost forgot. I'll get it for you."
Li Dong turned around to get the present.
Hu Xiaorui winked at Shen Qian and said in a low voice, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You can't anger me."
Shen Qian sneered and said, "Why would I anger you? You're so childish. I'm not going to play childish games with you. "
"You're the childish one. I'm a child. An auntie like you won't understand!"
"Hu Xiaorui, when did you learn to be so sharp-tongued? Also, stop tugging at the gown. It's embarrassing if it suddenly falls off later. "
"You're the one who's embarrassing. Don't clench your fists if you dare!"
"…"
The two of them bickered for a while. Shen Qian was full of helplessness.
She had just dealt with Qin Yuhan and Hu Xiaorui when Hu Xiaorui appeared. She was even more difficult to deal with than the other two.
The most difficult thing about Hu Xiaorui was that she was arrogant and unreasonable. Normal tactics were useless against her.
If it were someone else, Shen Qian and Li Dong attended the banquet at the same time and came hand in hand. If it were someone else, such as Qin Yuhan, they would probably turn around and leave at this time. How would they come forward to argue?
Hu Xiaorui, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. She was having fun fighting with her.
Shen Qian now understood her mother's words. She had to be on guard against those who were difficult to deal with.
Sun Yuehua and her mother had been fighting for so many years. Her mother did not gain any advantage, and her daughter was not weak either.
After all, Shen Qian was older. Moreover, it was Hu Xiaorui's birthday today. She was too lazy to continue fighting, so she took the initiative to stop.
Hu Xiaorui also stopped when she was ahead. Moreover, Li Dong was here. Naturally, there was nothing more to say.
Li Dong handed the gift box to Hu Xiaorui and said with a smile, "Happy birthday!"
Hu Xiaorui did not hesitate and immediately began to open the box. This made Li Dong feel helpless.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Hu Xiaorui exclaimed in surprise. She held the colorful clay doll in her hand and said with a smile, "I've wanted a set of colorful clay dolls for a long time. Unfortunately, I've been too busy and forgot about it. Li Dong, you're the best!"
Shen Qian felt helpless. At this time, if it was any gift, Hu Xiaorui would probably say the same thing. It was just that the name of the gift was changed.
Just as Hu Xiaorui exclaimed, someone beside her said in a bad mood, "It's not easy for some people to be this stingy. This painted pottery was bought from a roadside stall, right? Is it worth 100 yuan? Li Dong, it's not that I want to criticize you, but can you be more generous next time? Aren't you embarrassed to be so stingy with women? "
Before Li Dong could retaliate, Hu Xiaorui snorted, "I like this kind of treacherous official. Don't try to drive a wedge between us. Otherwise, I will tell Elder Sister Yue Qin that you have many women outside!"
Hsu Shengzhe's face turned green. Damn brat, you are purposely going against me!
If I come to your birthday next time, my surname is not Xu!
Hsu Shengzhe said ruthlessly in his heart, "Our Yue Qin has never suspected me. There is no use trying to drive a wedge between us."
Bai Yue Qin found it funny and infuriating at the same time. She pinched him hard.
Li Dong saw that Hu Xiaorui had helped him get back at her, so he could not be bothered to find trouble with Hsu Shengzhe. He looked around and asked, "Where is my daughter?"
Bai Yue Qin chuckled, "She was a little noisy when she came, so she could only stay at home."
Li Dong said regretfully, "I haven't seen her for a long time. I should have brought her over to let my daughter take a look. Her father isn't much, but her godfather is definitely great!"
Hsu Shengzhe felt helpless and sighed, "Li Dong, I admit that I have a cheap mouth. I shouldn't have come to your place. Let's stop talking nonsense and go in. We'll eat something and chat for a while. If there's nothing interesting to watch, I will leave. I have never had a good time celebrating that brat Hu Xiaorui's birthday. Say, I have given her this gift time and time again, but she just doesn't appreciate it. Sigh, women are just so shallow. "
His words instantly offended the women and they rolled their eyes at him.
Hsu Shengzhe wasn't bothered by it and teased Shen Qian, "Shen Qian, I saw Li Dong running around because of you in the afternoon. He had nowhere to go and hid at my place. What did you do to him?"
Shen Qian smiled faintly and said, "Xu Shengzhe, I haven't seen you for a few days. Everything about you has not changed, but your mouth has become annoying."
Hsu Shengzhe was briefly stunned before he helplessly said, "I learned it from some bastard. I have a feeling that his mouth will be beaten to death sooner or later, but I never expected that it would affect me. Indeed, he who keeps company with ink will be stained black. I will hide from him in the future. "
"Get lost!"
Li Dong cursed with a smile. At this moment, there were many guests that came over. When they saw the two of them, they all went up to greet them.
After being disturbed by the crowd, they were no longer interested in standing at the entrance and chatting.
The few of them followed Hu Xiaorui inside. When they reached the entrance, Hu Ming, who was receiving guests, saw them. He first greeted Hsu Shengzhe and Shen Qian.
Finally, he looked at Li Dong and smiled, "I won't greet you since you are one of us. Bring the guests in."
Li Dong stopped in his tracks, Hsu Shengzhe's mouth was agape, and Shen Qian also took a while to react. After a while, she frowned and looked at Hu Ming without saying a word.
This damn fatty, Shen Qian didn't pay much attention to her mother when she said that he was causing trouble.
She didn't expect him to cause trouble to this extent.
On the other hand, Hu Xiaorui smiled and winked at Hu Ming. As expected of my dad. His words were so cool!
Hu Ming had a smile on his face, but he was lamenting in his heart.
Fortunately, I gave birth to a daughter. Otherwise, I would have the same thought as your mother. I would have strangled you to death first!
When did he, Hu Ming, reach this point?
He was really throwing away his pride, especially when outsiders like Hsu Shengzhe were listening. If word got out, how could he face others?
But for his precious daughter, Hu Ming was shameless.
The few of them were stunned for a while. Li Dong laughed dryly and didn't say anything. He hurriedly pulled Shen Qian into the courtyard.
After they left, Hu Ming sighed and muttered, "This bastard. If it was another time, I really want to kill him!"
The moment he said that, someone beside him teased, "Old Hu, who offended you? You have a deep grudge."
Hu Ming looked up and saw that it was an old friend. He shook his head and said, "Don't mention it. Every family has their own problems. Your Lanxin is the best. She never gave you any trouble. If I had a daughter like her, I'd wake up smiling even in my dreams. "
Ji Lanxin, who came with Ji Yuanzhong, said with a smile, "Uncle Hu, don't say that. Xiaorui is much better than me. She's now the Queen of Entertainment. After acquiring New Cinema Alliance, more than half of the northern cinema chains are under her control. She's not someone I can compare to. "
Although Hu Ming grumbled about his daughter, he doted on her deep down. When he heard that, his face bloomed with smiles. However, he said modestly, "What Queen of Entertainment? She's just a bunch of nonsense. Look at what happened today. It's just a birthday banquet for friends, but a bunch of celebrities came. My eyes were dazzled. "
Ji Lanxin covered her mouth and chuckled. Ji Yuanzhong said with a smile, "Old Hu, why do I feel like you're showing off to me? Let's forget about it today. It's Xiaorui's birthday, so I won't hold it against you. If you show off to me again, I'll teach you a lesson. But speaking of which, there are more and more people showing off in Jiangbei's business world. It's hard to say anything about their style. They've all been led astray by that person. "
Upon hearing that, many people nearby laughed.
Everyone knew who Ji Yuanzhong was talking about. Other than Li Dong, there was no one else.
Li Dong wasn't really showing off. For example, when he bought a fleet of airplanes, he only showed off to a few acquaintances to show off.
However, Li Dong previously had a 100 billion dollar plan and a trillion-dollar corporation. He often changed society and made people cherish their primitive lives …
If these words were to spread, who wouldn't respect him as the pretentious bro?
When it came to Li Dong, there were endless topics to talk about. There was also an indescribable sense of pride.
Jiangbei Merchants were extremely famous during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
However, ever since the founding of the People's Republic, Jiangbei Merchants had declined.
Nowadays, many merchants had left Jiangbei. The two richest men in Sunan, Zhu Yicai and Zhang Jindong, were actually from Jiangbei.
But even if they rose to prominence in Sunan, they did not represent Jiangbei.
Giant's Lao Shi was also from Jiangbei and was quite famous. BYD's CEO was also from Jiangbei and was also quite famous.
However, these people did not rise to prominence in Jiangbei.
The one who was born and raised in Jiangbei and became famous throughout the country was Li Dong!
Furthermore, Li Dong's business did not conflict with the rest of the merchants. Almost everyone in Jiangbei's business world was proud of Li Dong.
Now, when Jiangbei merchants went out for business, they were treated better than before.
Li Dong had set up the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association. Although he did not care much about it recently, he had many lovers. The merchants from other provinces were afraid that Li Dong would come after them if they offended the Mutual Aid Association over some small matters.
It was hard to say about others, but Li Dong did not have a good reputation in the business world. It was well known that he would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
It could be said that Li Dong had single-handedly brought the entire Jiangbei Merchants to prominence.
In the past, the Jiangbei business world lacked cohesion. But now, the cohesion in Jiangbei was not bad. With Li Dong as the core and the Mutual Aid Association as the foundation, everyone had started to expand outside of Jiangbei.
And Li Dong had officially become the core and leader of the Jiangbei Merchants.
Even Xu Jianghua could not do this in the past. He did not have the reputation of being the Chairman of Jiangbei Merchants.
As for Li Dong, although he was not the Chairman of Jiangbei Merchants, he was the true leader of the Merchants. No one would deny this.
… …
The merchants outside were talking about Li Dong.
When Li Dong and the rest arrived at the villa, Li Dong was still the center of attention.
The celebrities and merchants … When Li Dong arrived, they immediately focused their attention on him.
Those with higher statuses went up to greet him. Those who felt that their statuses were not high enough also greeted him with a smile from afar.
This scene made Hsu Shengzhe envious and jealous. He scolded in a low voice, "If they knew how shameless you are, would they still treat you like this?"
With a smile on his face, Li Dong said indifferently, "You, jealousy has gotten to your head.
They are in awe of my wealth, my ability, my influence, my status … …
Even if I fart now, people will say that it smells good.
I'm just talking big. That's because I have great foresight. It's not bragging.
Can you and I be the same?
Don't be jealous. You better not follow me. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat anything tonight and will go back with a bellyful of anger. "
Hsu Shengzhe sighed. Alright, I'll leave. Otherwise, I'll really have to go back with a bellyful of anger.
But the moment he left, Hu Xiaorui heaved a sigh of relief. "He's finally gone. I don't even know how bright my light bulb is. Li Dong, it's finally just the two of us."
Hsu Shengzhe's footsteps faltered as he cursed. Yue Qin, who was beside him, heard it clearly. She hurriedly pinched him. If Li Dong heard it, he would beat her up.
Hsu Shengzhe was furious, while Shen Qian's thoughts were in a mess.
Just the two of us?
What about me?
This darn lass. Her skin is so thick. Shen Qian was on the verge of breaking down. She was the only person she had ever met who could compete with Li Dong in terms of shamelessness!
