On a flat plain.
Far away from the square.
Li Qing helped her fiancé pick a suit that was above average. When her fiancé reluctantly changed into it, Li Qing was a little annoyed. "I was busy yesterday, so I told you to buy clothes by yourself. Did you turn a deaf ear to me? He didn't care about buying casual clothes at all! Clothes make the man. You're dressed so casually. How am I supposed to bring you out to meet people? "
Yao Bo said helplessly, "Qingqing, is there a need to do this? Nowadays, he usually wore casual clothes when meeting people. This way, it was easier to get closer to him. I feel a little awkward wearing a suit. "
"You don't understand. He's very disciplined now. If you dress too casually, the first impression won't be good."
Scratching his head, Yao Bo sighed, "Qingqing, can you tell us who we're here to see now? Now that you mention it, I'm starting to worry. Is the person we are going to meet very old-fashioned, dignified, and old-fashioned? You mentioned before that you have an uncle here. Could it be that you want to see your uncle? "
Since they were already at the plain, Li Qing didn't hide anything. He nodded and said, "My uncle and aunt are all here, and my cousin is also here. My second uncle is still alright. He has a gentle personality and isn't too picky. My Second Aunt usually won't say anything. It's mainly my cousin, so don't say anything. "
Yao Bo was briefly stunned before he unhappily said, "You previously said that he's picky. Could it be your cousin?"
Li Qing glanced at him and said after a while, "You'll know when the time comes. I'm too lazy to tell you now. Even if I did, you wouldn't believe me."
"I …"
Yao Bo was about to speak when Li Qing's phone rang.
After glancing at the number, Li Qing answered with a smile, "Second Uncle … Yes, I've arrived."
"Far away from the square. We'll be there soon."
"Okay, then I'll go to your place first. Whenever Dongzi is free, I'm not in a hurry. Don't delay his business."
"Alright, I understand."
"…"
After hanging up the phone, Li Qing said, "Let's go to my Second Uncle's place first. My cousin is rather busy, so he'll arrive later. Also, be more serious later. Don't tell those cold jokes of yours. In short, talk less and listen more. Got it? "
Yao Bo said helplessly, "I know. This is even more solemn than meeting your mother-in-law. I'm a little jealous now. Qingqing, does your brother have an older sister complex?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Li Qing rolled her eyes at him. If it weren't for you, would I be so serious?
I also hope that you can go a little further and be a little more promising.
But it's hopeless to count on yourself and me.
She could only hope that Li Dong would show off his abilities for the sake of family ties. Only then could she hope to jump out of that small city and move to a higher level.
One word from Li Dong could save you 20 years of hard work.
This kind of opportunity was not something that could be encountered at any time.
…
At the same time,
Far away from the building.
Li Dong murmured softly, "Blood is thicker than water, what an extremely complicated proposition."
Over the years, he had seen too much darkness. He had seen too many brothers betraying each other, sisters killing each other, fathers and sons turning against each other …
In the past, Li Dong had been dissatisfied with his cousins, and then ignored them. But now, he realized that he was a little nostalgic.
It wasn't that he was cheap. When people reached a certain status, they would really have a lonely feeling of being at the top.
Cheng Gang brothers killing each other. Hsu Shengzhe brothers killing each other. Father and son turning against each other.
Sun Yuehua and the Sun family turning against each other. The Huang family turned against each other for money.
It was the same for the Shen family. The brothers did not get along, and the siblings did not get along. For the inheritance of the Shen family, the third generation tried to cheat each other.
After seeing so much of this, Li Dong suddenly felt a little disgusted with this situation.
In the past, his father told him that blood was thicker than water and they were all a family. He scoffed at it.
There were some things that he couldn't forget.
The past hurt made him extremely disgusted with these so-called family ties. Using family and bloodline to kidnap himself, Li Dong was even more disgusted with these things.
But now that he had reached this height, some things, after all, were things from his previous life.
His previous life and this life were two different worlds.
Gradually, Li Dong began to restrain some of his emotions and forget some things.
If Li Nanming wasn't so useless and annoying, perhaps Li Dong wouldn't have treated him like that.
At least, when Li Nanming used Li Dong's name to do business in Qingyang City, Li Dong turned a blind eye.
If Li Nanming could really walk on the right path, Li Dong might have forgotten some of the past and given him a chance.
Unfortunately, mud was mud after all.
Although Li Dong was lonely now, he wouldn't indulge Li Nanming just because of this.
Therefore, Li Dong completely kicked Li Nanming away last time. For people like Li Nanming, Li Dong wouldn't indulge them, not to mention his cousin.
Li Qing's situation was slightly different.
In the past few years, Li Qing had changed a lot. He also ran his small supermarket honestly and there were no bad rumors about him.
Therefore, in the past few years, Li Dong actually treated Li Qing quite well.
The reason why Li Qing's supermarket was able to survive in such a competitive situation was because of the help from afar.
Li Chengyuan sponsored some of Li Qing's houses, but Li Dong pretended not to see it.
All of this was because of the other party.
Sometimes, Li Dong was willing to give some people a chance, but the opportunity was in your own hands.
If you could seize the opportunity, then Li Dong would give it to you.
If you couldn't, then sorry, Li Dong wouldn't give it to you.
Just like what Li Dong's cousin, Cao Feng, said to his wife, the more you wanted something from Li Dong, the more he wouldn't give it to you.
The more you didn't want it, the more Li Dong would give you.
That was great wisdom!
Cao Feng might look silly on the surface, but Li Dong had so many relatives, but only Cao Feng lived the most comfortably.
Li Dong actually had a lot of classmates and friends, and now, the best classmate was Wang Jie.
Because Wang Jie was actually the same as Cao Feng.
Li Dong gave it to him, but he didn't want it. This made Li Dong feel that such a person was trustworthy.
Therefore, Wang Jie was now the deputy minister of the Ministry of Supervision, second only to Zhou Haidong.
A long time ago, when Li Dong asked him to take over as the minister of the Ministry of Supervision, Wang Jie just took the initiative to refuse.
Li Dong was also a human, and human beings had emotions and desires.
Even if he understood that whether it was Wang Jie or Cao Feng, they actually had their own thoughts, so what?
Who didn't have their own thoughts in this world? If he really cared so much, Li Dong would have already aged prematurely and wouldn't be able to live anymore.
Now, Li Qing was going to get married, and she brought her fiancé to let him take charge, while his father pulled the strings.
Li Dong actually understood what they meant and knew their purpose.
However, although he understood, Li Dong was still willing to give them a chance.
If it were five years ago, or even three years ago, or even a year ago, Li Dong might not have been willing to meddle in this matter.
But now, Li Dong was willing to take a look.
People were always growing. As they grew older and more experienced, their perception of some things would change.
Now, when Li Dong recalled some things that he couldn't let go of, he might sigh with emotion, "It's just so-so!"
For example, Feng Jingsong back then.
If it were now, maybe Li Dong wouldn't do it so ruthlessly.
Of course, Li Dong didn't regret it, but he often reminded himself.
…
At night.
Tianhu Hotel.
In the private room.
Yao Bo chatted with Li Chengyuan and his wife for a while. Apart from Li Chengyuan and his wife, Cao Yu and Cao Feng also accompanied them.
While Cao Fang and Cao Yu were talking, Yao Bo poked Li Qing and said in a low voice, "Your uncle is quite easy to talk to. Speaking of which, your uncle isn't that old, and your cousin shouldn't be that old either. After all, you're only this old. Is your cousin as scary as you say? "
Li Qing glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Just remember what I said. My uncle is my uncle, and he's different from my cousin."
"That's really …"
Yao Bo didn't know what to say. His mother-in-law was settled, his wife's uncle and aunt were settled, and even his brother-in-law who liked to look down on others was settled.
In the end, Yao Bo realized that all of this was useless.
They didn't have the final say!
The one who had the final say was his brother-in-law whom he had never met.
Let's talk about dinner. His uncle and aunt were here, and so were their hosts and guests.
However, his brother-in-law, who was about to become a demon king, had yet to arrive. No one said anything, and no one called to urge him.
This made Yao Bo feel that this brother-in-law whom he had yet to meet was not a good person.
Perhaps he was some sort of non-mainstream, self-centered person.
However, because of his young age, his family doted on him and did not dare to go against his wishes.
This kind of little emperor was becoming more and more common nowadays.
And Li Dong, whom Yao Bo had never met, was now automatically brought into this role by Yao Bo. Yao Bo had not even met him yet, but he already had a bad feeling about it.
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the private room door.
Then, under the hotel manager's lead, Li Dong stepped in and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, Cousin, Cousin …"
Li Dong greeted them one by one, then said, "Something came up, and there was a traffic jam on the way, so I'm a little late."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Li Qing stood up and said with a smile, "It's okay, I know you're busy. Sit down, don't tire yourself out."
After saying that, Li Qing pushed Yao Bo and glared at him fiercely.
Yao Bo stared at Li Dong, feeling that this person in front of him was a little familiar.
However, after all, he had not seen the person in person, plus Li Dong was wearing casual clothes and had a relationship with his wife, Yao Bo really did not think of Li Dong for a moment.
Although his wife's surname was also Li, and everyone called him Dongzi …
However, Yao Bo had not formed this concept in his heart. For a moment, he was only thinking about his troublesome brother-in-law, and did not have any other thoughts in a short period of time.
After Li Qing pushed him, Yao Bo stopped staring at Li Dong. He stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Yao Bo. You can call me Brother Bo, or just call me brother-in-law."
Li Qing's face was full of powerlessness and helplessness. 'Have you forgotten that I told you to talk less and listen more?'
Li Dong did not care and said with a smile, "You can call me Dongzi. Have a seat, don't stand on ceremony."
As he spoke, Li Dong turned to the manager and said, "Serve the dishes. Hurry up."
The hotel manager said respectfully, "It will be ready soon. Do you need anything else? The hotel recently received a batch of authentic red wine produced by a famous French winery. The age is not too old, but the taste is not bad. You can try it. If you don't like it, I can change it for something else. "
Li Dong said with a smile, "Then give me a bottle and try it."
The manager hurriedly nodded and did not dare to delay. He immediately left the room.
The moment he left, Yao Bo leaned over to Li Qing's ear and said, "We're treating. Your cousin didn't even ask us? He didn't even ask the price. If he were to be ripped off … "
Li Qing looked at him dumbfounded. After a while, he said, "You don't know him?"
"What?"
Li Qing felt helpless again. Are you a primitive man?
I thought you recognized him!
I thought you were so scared that you didn't dare to speak!
In the end, you silly goose, you still haven't recognized it. What are your eyes made of?
No matter what, Li Dong could not be considered a nameless person.
Although he felt helpless, Li Qing could only say fiercely, "Cut the crap. Just pay attention. Just based on that look in your eyes, I don't have high hopes for you!"
"What do you mean?" Yao Bo was dumbfounded.
He was still in a daze, but Li Dong was not. After exchanging a few words with his parents, Li Dong looked at Yao Bo and said with a smile, "Bro … Brother Yao, what do you do for a living?"
"Me? I work at a bank as an account manager. The treatment is not bad. With salary and benefits, it's close to 100,000 a year. Dongzi, don't worry. I won't mistreat your sister. I've already thought about it. When I get married, I'll buy a big house and a car. Because I'm an internal employee, I can get an interest-free loan. I can also use the provident fund, so I don't need your sister to pay for me. I'll be able to pay it off in a few years … "
When Yao Bo said this, he was actually a little proud.
In Qingyang City, in 2008, an annual salary and benefits of 100,000 was definitely not an ordinary person.
Even in Pingchuan, the provincial capital, there were not many people with an annual salary of 100,000.
Li Qing opened a supermarket and was still making money. He was also afraid that Li Dong would look down on him, so he had already memorized this set of words in his heart.
Li Dong nodded and said, "Not bad. The current treatment of the bank is quite good, but after a few years of reform, it'll be hard to say. Of course, as long as you're willing to work hard and enter management, it won't affect much. "
When Li Dong said this, Yao Bo could not help but be stunned.
This tone was not something a young man could say.
And to be honest, there was a hint of pretentiousness in it.
I talk to you about salary, about work, and you talk to me about banking reform, about motivation, about entering management …
This …
At this time, Yao Bo could not help but look at Li Dong a few more times.
When Li Dong said this, everyone had a look of agreement. Even Li Qing quickly nodded, indicating that Li Dong was right.
Although Yao Bo was a little confused before, it did not mean that he was really confused.
He did not think too much about it before, but after thinking about it carefully, from Li Qing's attitude and the attitude of the others, this young man in front of him was obviously not the type to be a little emperor.
Everyone was more convinced than spoiled and accommodated.
"Li Dong …"
Yao Bo murmured and looked at Li Dong's face again, then suddenly a thought came to his mind!
Li Dong?
Which Li Dong!
Qingyang's pride, Qingyang's legend, the goal of their generation, the idol Li Dong?
Did I see it wrong?
Or did I see it wrongly …
Yao Bo was stunned.
When the others saw Yao Bo staring at Li Dong in a daze, they actually knew what had happened.
Previously, they were still wondering why Yao Bo was so calm.
To be honest, just like now, you're sitting at the same table with Ma Yun. You're just an ordinary person, but you're not excited at all?
Maybe you think you won't be excited or excited.
But when it comes to that occasion, you'll find that your legs will go soft, really soft.
In fact, it was normal for him to speak incoherently.
Not to mention, when you know that you and Ma Yun will become relatives and that Old Ma will call you brother-in-law, will you not feel anything?
Yao Bo's performance just now was unexpected.
But now, it was normal.
The others were not surprised, and neither was Li Dong. He looked at Yao Bo and said with a smile, "Don't stare at me like that. I don't eat people, don't worry."
Yao Bo came back to his senses. He looked a little nervous and slightly stammered, "You …"
"Don't!"
Li Dong reached out and interrupted, "Just call me Dongzi.
Li Qing is my sister. If you marry Li Qing, you'll be my brother-in-law.
My aunt and Li Qing think you're good, and my parents also think you're okay. As for me, I don't have much of an opinion.
As long as the elders in the family and each other are suitable, I think everything else is secondary.
My opinion is that it's not necessary. We're all adults and we know how to choose and fight for our own happiness.
In Qingyang, you should be considered a person of the upper class.
You have a good job and a good income. You're also good-looking. You're young and promising.
But I'm a little curious. A person like you should have no lack of women around you. Why do you like my sister? "
Yao Bo was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He hurriedly said, "I … I met Qingqing when I was doing business in the bank.
I don't have any other women around me, really.
After I graduated from university, I entered the bank and was assigned to my hometown, Qingyang. I didn't like most people, and I always thought that I was young and didn't need to rush.
Until I saw Qingqing. After a few interactions, I felt that she was a woman who ran a supermarket by herself and did everything by herself. She was quite amazing.
Plus, she was good-looking. After a long time, I fell in love with her.
Really, I don't have any other thoughts. I just admire and like her … "
This time, Yao Bo was really incoherent. Li Qing listened from the side. She was a little happy but also a little helpless.
She wondered if Li Dong would be satisfied with such a Yao Bo.
Looking at it made him feel silly.
Li Dong smiled and nodded. "Don't be nervous. I'm just asking casually."
At this moment, the waiters filed in.
Li Dong said, "Let's eat first. We can talk while eating. Since Li Qing brought you here, I know what she's thinking. She's already approved of you. "In the future, we should become a family. Don't worry, I won't be a hindrance between you two. I, Li Dong, usually don't break up other people's marriages, unless some people are really unbearable. "
Yao Bo wiped the sweat off his head and muttered in his heart, 'You usually don't break up other people's marriages?
When did you say 'unbearable'?
What's your standard for 'unbearable'?
According to your standards, I think we're all very unbearable. '
At this moment, Yao Bo finally understood why Li Qing kept reminding him.
Damn it, who wouldn't feel pressured when meeting such a brother-in-law?
Especially the fierce person opposite him, who was now an existence that the banking industry would pale at the mention of.
Even his boss's boss's boss would feel pressured when he met Li Dong. Not to mention him, it would be strange if he wasn't nervous!
