Wanyuan Neighborhood.
The Li family.
In the living room, Cao Fang and Li Chengyuan were a little reserved and their conversation was not very smooth.
Shen Qian, on the other hand, was natural and unrestrained. She smiled and chatted with her parents. From time to time, she would take out a few clothes and jewelry and help them try them on and ask how they felt.
Most of the main topics were focused on Li Dong.
As for business, family, and officialdom, Shen Qian did not talk about these things.
Li Dong's parents were completely ordinary citizens.
Even the rise of Li Dong could not change all this.
Li Dong's rise was too fast. It had been less than five years.
As for Li Chengyuan and the others, it was only after 2007 that they truly felt like rich parents.
More than a year was not enough to change some things.
It was possible for children to expect that more than a year could change the habits and feelings of their parents for decades. But at their age, it was difficult to change with the changes of Li Dong.
What Shen Qian had to do was to adapt to them, not force them to adapt to her.
Sometimes, Shen Qian actually thought more than Li Dong. Li Dong did not feel much and felt that it did not matter whether he changed or not.
That was because he was used to it. Besides, it was his parents who were also used to him.
But Shen Qian, after all, did not communicate much with Li Chengyuan and the others. If she wanted them to accept her from the bottom of their hearts, she had to change.
After all, her age was always a problem.
Li Chengyuan did not say it, but Cao Fang was not very satisfied in her heart.
…
Shen Qian chatted with her parents, while Li Dong chatted with Cao Feng and his wife on the balcony.
Cao Feng and his wife came over, which was at Cao Fang's request.
On one hand, it was for the stock, and on the other hand, there was no one around, so the couple did not have much confidence.
Cao Yu also came and was now busy in the kitchen.
However, Lin Meng didn't go. She had to take care of the child.
When Li Dong and Cao Feng went to Beijing in August, Lin Meng was about to give birth.
At the end of September, Lin Meng gave birth to a chubby boy for this generation of the Cao Family. It was almost a hundred days old now.
During the one-month celebration, Li Dong was too busy preparing for Weibo's financing. He went over to deliver the gifts and returned to the company.
Li Dong had helped with the arrangements when it was said to be a hundred days.
But now that the hundred days were almost up, Li Dong felt a little helpless and explained, "Cousin, Cousin-in-law, I'm afraid I can't find the time to prepare for the hundred days. But I've told my mom to help me prepare. When the time comes, if I can find time, I'll rush back. If I really can't find the time, I'll definitely help you prepare for your first birthday party. "
Before Cao Feng said anything, Lin Meng quickly smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just a hundred days for the child. It's not as important as your business. We all know that this is a big deal and can't be delayed. Don't worry about us. You can do your own thing. If you need help, let Feng go with you. He has been busy with the family these days and didn't even go to the company. We can't let him waste his time. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "The child is still young. It's better to let cousin rest for a while. I'll be fine."
Lin Meng didn't say anything more. She turned to look at Shen Qian in the living room and said with a hearty smile, "Dongzi, you're really lucky. When Miss Shen walks together with you, it's simply a match made in heaven … "
She praised loudly, and Shen Qian in the living room quickly smiled and said, "Cousin-in-law can call me by my name. It's awkward to call me Miss Shen."
The word "Cousin-in-law" made Lin Meng smile and said quickly, "Then I'll call you Qianqian. We have to be more intimate in the future. We're family …"
In fact, Lin Meng was younger than Shen Qian.
But at this time, it was not a matter of age. Lin Meng was not stupid. She had been doing business for many years. She naturally knew how to communicate with people like Shen Qian better.
After saying goodbye to Li Dong, Lin Meng took the child and went to Shen Qian.
After she left, Cao Feng whispered, "She just likes to shout. She has no other thoughts …"
Li Dong said with a smile, "Well, don't explain it to me. It's a good thing that Cousin-in-law is enthusiastic. Don't think too much.
As for my mother, you can do as you see fit.
If she really wants to go, you can come with me, or you can take your cousin-in-law to Xiangjiang to have a look.
It's actually simple this time. Don't worry too much. I don't care about it.
Otherwise, I'll tell my parents later and travel to Xiangjiang together. I've been too busy these years and haven't had much time to take care of them.
It's all thanks to Elder Cousin and Elder Cousin taking care of me … "
Cao Feng hurriedly said, "Of course. They are my aunt and uncle. We can't be of much help. We are just chatting with my aunt. You should be the one taking care of us."
"Come on, don't be so polite."
Li Dong smiled and wanted to light a cigarette. He looked back and saw that there was still a child in the living room, so he suppressed his desire to smoke.
After chatting with Cao Feng for a while, Li Dong returned to the living room.
He pinched Tiny Tot, who was in Shen Qian's arms. Before Lin Meng said anything, Shen Qian slapped his hand away and said angrily, "You can't pinch a child. You'll drool in the future."
Li Dong said with a smile, "I know. I'll touch it. I've agreed with my cousin that I can touch him whenever I want after he gives birth to a child. By the way, children are fun and chubby. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Meng said with a smile, "Dongzi, you and Qianqian should have a child soon. Aunt and uncle are anxious. When you give birth, Liangliang will grow up and be able to protect your little brother and sister. "
As soon as she said this, Shen Qian's face turned red, while Li Chengyuan and his wife next to her looked forward to it.
They were old people, so they all wanted to have grandchildren early.
Although Li Dong was young, Shen Qian was not young anymore. They could be at ease if they had one early.
Shen Qian was embarrassed, but Li Dong did not care. He said with a smile, "That's right. I'll have one later, but I'm a little busy during this period. Maybe next year. Maybe the third generation of Old Li's family will have one by the end of next year."
Shen Qian blushed and did not speak, but Cao Fang quickly nodded and said, "Yes, we have to be quick. We can't even have one, we have to have a few more. But then again, we have to get married before we have grandchildren. Dongzi, when do you and Qianqian plan to do it? "
Li Dong looked at Shen Qian and thought for a moment before saying, "Try to do it in the first half of the year. I definitely can't do it this year. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave at the beginning of next year. When it's April or May, I'll probably have less things to do. You can go back and pick a date with Uncle Du and tell us when you've chosen. As for Qianqian, she has no objections. She can't wait to marry me. "
Shen Qian immediately rolled her eyes and glared at him.
Li Chengyuan and the others all laughed. Cao Fang was afraid that Shen Qian would be embarrassed, so she reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense. You're the one who is in a hurry to marry Qianqian."
Li Dong nodded with a smile and said, "I'm in a hurry to marry, and she's in a hurry to marry. Isn't that just right? The earlier we get married, the sooner we can have grandchildren. Everyone will be satisfied. "
With a few words, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Cao Fang even couldn't wait to get the calendar to see when the first half of the year would be.
Li Chengyuan did not care at first, but later, he couldn't help but lean over and look at it with her.
Seeing that they were not paying attention, Li Dong sat down next to Shen Qian and said with a smile, "How is it? You're not nervous anymore, are you?"
"I wasn't nervous in the first place. You're just talking nonsense. I don't even know how to respond."
Shen Qian said in annoyance. She thought about it and said, "You might not have time next year. Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry. If you really can't …"
Li Dong gently hugged her and said with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry. I really want to marry you as soon as possible. My parents on both sides are anxious. I'm also anxious. The sooner the better. What if you run away with someone else when you're anxious? I have to tie you up as soon as possible to prevent others from having ideas about you. "
Shen Qian couldn't help but laugh. She pinched him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. But no matter what, you have to wait for Gome and Far away Technology to complete the plan. Otherwise, you'll be too busy. "
Li Dong winked and said, "What do you mean by too busy? Are you going to let me die of exhaustion on the bed after we get married? "
Shen Qian quickly turned her head and glanced at Li Dong's parents. Then she pinched him hard and said in a low voice, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll really teach you a lesson!"
"I'll stop, I'll stop …"
Li Dong quickly raised his hand and begged for mercy. The two of them chatted and laughed in a low voice.
…
Not far away.
Although Cao Fang and her husband were looking at the calendar, they were actually paying attention to their son.
Cao Fang said in a low voice, "This girl is quite compatible with Dongzi. She doesn't put on airs, and she's good-looking. She's obviously a generous person. But … "
Cao Fang sighed slightly and then said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about this. Let's go back and settle the matter as soon as possible. It's time to get married. Give birth to a chubby boy. While we can still move, help take care of him for a few years. "
There was nothing to be picky about with the Li family regarding Shen Qian.
The only thing was the problem of age.
But now that things had come to this, talking about this would only make her feel unhappy. Cao Fang didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Although Shen Qian was much older than Li Dong, Li Dong was much more mature now. Shen Qian also paid attention to her health. On the surface, there seemed to be no age difference between the two.
As Cao Fang spoke, Li Chengyuan also said in a low voice, "Don't be so harsh. Do you think your son is really as handsome as he says? If this kid hadn't done well in the past few years, would he have been able to marry such a wife? When he was in high school, I was worried for him that he wouldn't be able to marry a wife in the future. Now, the girl is good in everything. Moreover, she comes from a family like Secretary Du. It's a blessing to be able to marry her. "
"You can't say that …"
Cao Fang quickly retorted. This was belittling her son. How could she do that?
No matter what, in the eyes of his parents, his son was the cream of the crop.
… …
In the evening, after dinner, Shen Qian continued to chat with Cao Fang.
Li Dong went to the side to make a phone call. He had a lot of things to do now, and it was nearing the New Year.
No one from the Li family went to disturb him, but their gazes never left Li Dong.
These few years, the changes in the Li family were all because of Li Dong.
The couple was very satisfied and proud of their son.
And Shen Qian was also proud of the man in front of her.
Especially since she was about to officially become a part of the family.
They chatted for a long time, and Li Dong came back after his phone call. Li Dong rubbed his shoulders and said, "The Hong Kong Stock Exchange will approve the application tomorrow. Once it is approved, we will start the application immediately. No matter how the application goes, the issue price will not change. It will be 1 HKD. The application period will take at least three days, and the closing period will be postponed. Even if the application starts on the 31st, the shares will be listed on Saturday, and the listing will be resumed on the 5th. This is slower than I had expected. "
Shen Qian was speechless. Li Dong's parents might not understand, but she knew.
The restructuring was confirmed on the 28th, and the application for resumption of trading started today. The new shares will be issued on the 5th.
It was less than eight days, and you call this slow?
If not for everyone knowing their motive, the rest of the shareholders would not be willing to get involved. Just the road show and pricing will take at least three to five months.
Also, the restructuring of the company's documents was done overtime and skipped a lot of procedures.
In addition, half a year was not a long time for an ordinary company to prepare for restructuring and resume listing.
This was a company that had already been listed. For a newly listed company, they had to prepare for listing, submit the documents, publish the prospectus, road show, pricing … …
It was not strange for the company to take at least a year.
But this time, the Gome was only eight days, but Li Dong thought it was too slow.
When he said that the listing would resume on New Year's Day, Shen Qian knew it was not reliable. The others also did not think it would resume on New Year's Day.
Being able to resume trading on the 5th was already the fastest it could be.
Even Shen Qian was surprised. How much money did the Hong Kong Stock Exchange charge Li Dong and Old Huang?
Or maybe even the Hong Kong Stock Exchange wanted to see a big fight as soon as possible, so they gave them special channels. Otherwise, the review would take at least a week.
Shen Qian did not refute him. She chuckled. "It's good to wait for a few more days. When the loan from China Merchants Bank comes, we will apply for shares. The probability of winning will be higher. If we can apply for more shares in the primary market, coupled with the preferential allotment, we might just win directly. "
"I hope so, but the chances are not high. Let's see how many lots we can win."
Li Dong sighed. Then he said to his parents, "Mom, Dad, if the application starts on the 31st, I will go to Hong Kong on that day. If you are not busy, come with me. Qianqian will take you to buy something. Hong Kong is much more lively than China … "
Although Li Dong's parents did not understand these things, they knew that their son was busy. Hearing this, Cao Fang hurriedly said, "Your dad and I will not go. You and Qianqian can go. Dongzi, I don't understand these things, but I know you have invested a lot of money this time. You are still young. Don't be impulsive. I heard that you almost fought with Gome at the meeting. Don't lose your temper. Qianqian should also advise him not to let him do anything stupid. "
Li Dong looked helpless. He said gloomily, "Mom, how long has it been since I last fought? It has been five years. At most, I have slapped people a few times. The media exaggerated it and said that I fight every day. Isn't this nonsense? Others may not know me, but you don't know me. I am very honest now. How can I fight with others? "
Cao Fang asked suspiciously, "You didn't fight? Last time, I saw on the news that you got into a fight with that guy with the surname Ma, and then you got into a fight with that guy too. I didn't even ask you … "
Li Dong was speechless and said helplessly, "What fight? If I really beat them, can I still stand here and chat with you? All right, I have to bear this stain. Let them say whatever they want. "
Shen Qian could not help but laugh. Speaking of it, sometimes the media did exaggerate.
In these years, Li Dong actually had few opportunities to fight.
Not to mention Liu Qing, the two most sensational times were when Li Dong slapped the person who scolded Qin Yuhan.
The other time was when Li Dong was beaten into a panda's eye during a team fight in the hotel.
It was also that time that made Li Dong completely famous.
A business tycoon actually fought in a team fight and got beaten into a panda's eye. At that time, it was a hot topic for many days.
It was also from then on that Li Dong's reputation for being belligerent and daring to fight spread.
In these years, Li Dong had actually really restrained himself. Almost nothing like this happened.
But the reputation he left back then had not dissipated even now.
From time to time, there would be photos of Li Dong with panda eyes on the Internet. It also made people remember that this young tycoon took an unusual path.
The family chatted for a while. Li Dong was warned by his parents for a while before they finally ended today's topic.
…
That night, Shen Qian did not leave. She stayed at the Li family's house.
The old couple next door listened to the wall all night and finally heard Li Dong's slight snoring.
After being busy for so many days, Li Dong was exhausted. Today, he was on the move again.
Today, he came back but still forced himself to chat with everyone until now. He was already exhausted. Some child-inappropriate situations that the old couple imagined naturally did not happen.
Because of this, the old couple could not help but feel regretful.
When they got up the next day, they could not help but look at Li Dong a few more times. Their son was so useless. When could they hold a grandson?
The old couple's resentful expressions made Li Dong confused. What was going on?
But Shen Qian heard something last night and could not help but snicker.
