In January 2009, Li Dong had a lot of things to do.
It was close to the end of the year, and it was the beginning of the Gregorian New Year.
More importantly, Qin Hai was about to leave.
Once Qin Hai left, the logistics group would be without a leader. Who would take over? This was a big problem.
The logistics group was getting bigger and bigger. With the addition of Far away Logistics Park and Far away Airlines, it was a large group worth more than 30 billion yuan.
Logistics linked the entire online and offline business. It was the key point of Far away retail.
Li Dong had said many times that the biggest competitiveness of Far away retail was logistics.
Let's not talk about online and offline issues. Just the supermarket distribution center alone was one of the lifelines of a chain store.
Once there was a problem with logistics, the entire Far away retail system could collapse.
Qin Hai's resignation was a huge problem for Li Dong.
This was even more troublesome than the appointment of a vice president. After all, a vice president was only an assistant. There were still Yuan Chengdao and Li Dong above him.
As for the logistics group, the subsidiaries were more independent. Even if the supervision was tightened, the chairman of the subsidiary still had a lot of power within the subsidiary.
If the wrong person was entrusted, it could cause a bad impact.
…
While Li Dong was having a headache about the successor of the logistics group.
At the same time.
Beijing.
Sun Yuehua was also having a headache.
Sun Yuehua was happy that her daughter came to Beijing to see her.
Usually, her daughter stayed in Jiangbei and rarely came to Beijing. She was usually the one who went back to Jiangbei to see her daughter.
This time, her daughter suddenly came to see her near the end of the year. Sun Yuehua was naturally happy.
But in the evening, when she personally cooked for her daughter, and the mother and daughter were eating happily, her daughter's words made her completely unable to be happy.
In the restaurant.
Sun Yuehua's chopsticks stopped. She looked up at her smiling daughter. After a while, she said, "Xiaorui, say it again. I didn't hear you clearly."
Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "Mom, I said, how about we go to Li Dong's house to propose marriage?"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Sun Yuehua almost choked on the food in her mouth. Hu Xiaorui quickly handed her a glass of water.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Sun Yuehua blushed and said, "Say that again?"
"Mom …"
Hu Xiaorui said shyly, "I said, I'll go to Li Dong's house in two days …"
"Stop it!"
Sun Yuehua bellowed and hastily stopped her daughter's words.
After staring at her daughter for a while, Sun Yuehua said in exasperation, "Xiaorui, are you crazy or am I?"
"You damned girl, do you know what you're saying?"
"You want me to propose marriage? You … you … are you trying to anger me to death?! "
Sun Yuehua was furious. You want your mother to do such a shameful thing?
The bride went to the groom's house to propose marriage. What kind of logic was that?
Moreover, she knew that Li Dong was going to get married soon.
If she went and was rejected by the Li family, it would be a national embarrassment.
In the future, her daughter's reputation would be ruined.
Seeing that her mother was angry, Hu Xiaorui pouted and said after a while, "Mom, he's not married yet."
"Don't even think about it!"
Sun Yuehua refused and said fiercely, "Give up. I won't go. If your father dares to go, I'll break his legs! You damned girl, are you trying to anger me to death? What's so good about Li Dong that you're so stubborn? I thought you'd become sensible and filial when you came to see me. So you're here to anger me? "
Hu Xiaorui said coquettishly, "Mom, I missed you so I came to see you. I just wanted to tell you about it."
Sun Yuehua glared at her and said, "I think you just came to see me. Xiaorui, I'm telling you, don't even think about it. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? But don't you know Li Dong at all? He won't agree. If that happens, not only will your reputation be ruined, but Li Dong won't have it easy either. We, Li Dong, and the Du family will really become enemies. Silly girl, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't do it. "
Sun Yuehua shook her head repeatedly.
She could guess what was on Hu Xiaorui's mind since she was her daughter.
Her daughter was probably betting on her own position in Li Dong's heart. If the Hu family took the initiative to talk about it and Li Dong rejected them, then the news would spread and Hu Xiaorui's reputation would be ruined.
No one would want her even if she paid for it. This kind of gossip would spread quickly.
Of course, Li Dong understood this.
If he really cared about Hu Xiaorui, he might not refuse or delay it. Anyway, it was impossible for him to marry Shen Qian soon.
Otherwise, he would really not leave a trace of face for Hu Xiaorui.
But how could Sun Yuehua not know Li Dong's character?
How could her daughter not know?
She was now gambling on the slightest probability, and the probability of success was frighteningly small.
She was abandoning her reputation and face.
At this thought, Sun Yuehua's eyes suddenly turned red. She stared at her daughter and said, "Are you really stupid? Since you were young, we've never been short of anything. We've given you whatever you want. Now, you don't even care about us for a man you've only known for a few years? You're stabbing us in the heart with a knife. Silly girl, are you possessed? "
Hu Xiaorui pouted and said sullenly after a while, "I just feel sad when I think about him getting married."
"You …"
Sun Yuehua, who wanted to reprimand her daughter, saw that her daughter's eyes were red. She immediately sighed and did not reprimand her.
Walking up to her daughter, Sun Yuehua touched her daughter's head and said softly, "Silly girl, I don't know why you like him so much.
But I know that liking someone is not absolute.
There are many capable men in the world. I'll introduce you to a few later, and you can also interact with others.
As time goes by, you'll realize that Li Dong is actually nothing.
I understand that you feel sad now, but I believe that it won't take long for you to stop feeling sad.
Don't think about other things. Listen to me and sleep. You'll be fine after a good sleep. "
"Mom …"
Hu Xiaorui hugged Sun Yuehua's arm and said with red eyes, "Am I too childish? Is that why he doesn't like me?"
"Not at all. How is my daughter childish?
The outside world is saying that I, Sun Yuehua, have a good daughter, and others are saying that you're the Queen of Entertainment.
It's just that everyone likes different types. Perhaps you and Li Dong are not fated to be together, but this kind of thing can't be forced.
Even if I go this time, even if I really succeed, do you think you'll be happy in the future?
I know, you understand.
There are some principles that I don't need to say, you understand better than me. "
Sun Yuehua stroked her daughter's hair and comforted her.
Seeing that her daughter was a little dazed, she could not help but sigh.
In her heart, she cursed Li Dong and Hu Ming half to death. There was no need to say much when she cursed Li Dong, but she cursed Hu Ming because she was venting her anger on him.
After all, Hu Ming lived in Pingchuan, and he was the one who took care of his daughter.
In the end, in just a few years, Li Dong appeared out of nowhere.
It was not that Hu Xiaorui had not interacted with men in the past. Hu Xiaorui had interacted with the second generation of the rich and the officials in Pingchuan.
However, perhaps she had seen too many of them. After all, Pingchuan was not big, and there were not many who were truly successful.
In the end, she suddenly met Li Dong. Among a bunch of similar second generations, Li Dong suddenly appeared, so it was normal that he attracted her daughter's attention.
After a few interactions, she felt that Li Dong was to her liking. Her daughter, who had been stubborn since she was young, had completely fallen for him this time.
This was the reason why Sun Yuehua vented her anger on Hu Ming. If she had let her daughter follow her to the capital back then, she would not have been able to interact with Li Dong.
Not only would she not be able to come into contact with Li Dong, there were also many young talents in the capital. Even if Li Dong appeared in front of her daughter again, he would not necessarily attract much attention.
How could things have turned out like this? Her silly daughter was almost tortured to death.
Sun Yuehua lovingly caressed her daughter, but she was secretly angry. Sooner or later, she would teach Hu Ming and Li Dong a lesson!
…
Pingchuan.
Li Dong sneezed.
Tan Yong, who was driving, muttered in his heart. Sure enough, Li Dong said, "Someone is talking about me. Is he scolding me or thinking of me?"
Tan Yong laughed dryly and did not reply.
Every time he sneezed, it was the same sentence.
The weather was getting colder. You didn't wear much, so you should have caught a cold.
Li Dong was just saying it casually. After that, he returned to the main topic. "Has Cheng Hui been sent overseas?"
Tan Yong hurriedly said, "He's gone overseas. He's now in a small country in Africa. Maybe he's a transit point or to escape our sight. When he gets there, we don't have enough manpower to continue following him. "
"That's not necessarily true."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Cheng Gang is so soft-hearted? This is somewhat out of my expectations. I thought that this fellow would be ruthless in his attacks. Or maybe it's inconvenient in the country, so he went overseas? Africa is not a good place. If he goes there, he might not be able to acclimatize and die. It's not surprising at all. "
"That can't be …"
Tan Yong had thought of that, but he felt that they were brothers after all. There was no need to be so ruthless.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "Why not? It's not like I haven't seen this happen before. Don't we have one in front of us? He looks much more amiable than me, right? "
As Li Dong's personal bodyguard, Tan Yong knew some things.
As soon as Li Dong mentioned it, he knew who Li Dong was talking about. There was no one else but Hsu Shengzhe.
Hsu Shengzhe had a good reputation in the outside world.
Even if he was a second-generation heir, even if he was a real estate developer, the outside world still praised Hsu Shengzhe more than they belittled him.
Of course, this also had to do with Hsu Shengzhe's lack of reputation. Jiangbei had a tyrant, Li Dong.
With Hsu Shengzhe as an example, it was not surprising that Cheng Gang attacked Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui was not a kind person. He killed his wife and still wanted to kill Cheng Gang.
How could Cheng Gang be at ease with such a person around?
Tan Yong said in a low voice, "Should we get someone to keep an eye on him and see if we can save him …"
Li Dong sneered. "He's dead. Why should we save him? This guy is not a good person to begin with. The sooner he dies, the sooner he can reincarnate. As for controlling Cheng Gang, is there a need for that? Sometimes, it's fine to use some external means, but it's wrong to use that as a source of confidence and capital. Let's not talk about anything else. Destroy that video later. It's useless to keep it. "
Tan Yong nodded. "Got it. Don't worry."
Li Dong did not say anything else. He closed his eyes and continued to rest.
After a while, they arrived at Dongfang Fishing Village.
Li Dong was very busy. But no matter how busy he was, his mother called and asked him to report immediately. He had to come.
After getting out of the car, Li Dong entered with Tan Yong.
Cao Yu, who was at the front desk, saw Li Dong and immediately said, "Dongzi, you're here."
"Yes. Cousin, where's my mom?"
"Auntie is upstairs," Cao Yu replied.
Then, she smiled and said, "Be careful. I think she's in a bad mood. I'm afraid she'll cause trouble for you."
Li Dong laughed and said helplessly, "I didn't provoke her, did I? Forget it. I'll go up and take a look."
Li Dong did not chat with Cao Yu and went upstairs.
Upstairs, Cao Fang was busy. When she saw him, she immediately dragged him into an empty private room.
As soon as they entered the private room, Cao Fang said angrily, "You brat, I asked you to come home for dinner these days. Why didn't you come back? Didn't you say you'll go to the capital at the end of the year? It's already the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. Are you still going? I'll tell you that your dad and I won't go to the capital for the New Year. We're not married yet. It's not good for others. If we want to do something, we have to take advantage of these few days. Otherwise, we'll have to wait until next year. "
Li Dong probably guessed that it was about this. He immediately smiled and said, "Mom, I was about to tell you about this. I've agreed with Qianqian and Uncle Du that we'll go on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. We'll be back in two or three days. It's just in time to come back for the New Year. "
Cao Fang thought about it. Although it was the end of the year and it was not suitable for her to go far away, Secretary Du was also a busy man. He might not have time every day.
After thinking about it, Cao Fang nodded and said, "Then it'll be the 24th. It'll be just after the Lunar New Year. Don't forget that your dad has been waiting anxiously for this matter. He wears his suit every day and walks around. Recently, he hasn't even gone to the kitchen. He said that he's afraid of the smell of smoke. "
Li Dong could not stop laughing. He quickly said, "It's good that he doesn't go to the kitchen. Mom, don't worry. How can I forget about this? I'll take advantage of these few days to finish some of the things that I've accumulated. When the time comes, I can go to the capital in peace and spend the New Year in peace. I don't have to be busy during the New Year. "
"That's good."
After chatting with her son for a while and setting the date, Cao Fang was no longer in a hurry.
As for Li Dong, he took the opportunity to have his meal there.
However, halfway through the meal, he received a call from Shen Qian.
Li Dong thought that Shen Qian was also talking about this matter, so he joked, "It'll only be a few days. Don't be anxious."
However, Shen Qian was not in the mood to joke with him. She said solemnly, "Elder Jia passed away."
"Elder Jia …"
Li Dong was stunned for a moment. Then, he reacted and sighed softly. "It's a happy occasion for an old man to die of old age. Moreover, it's a burden to delay it any longer."
No matter how Li Dong felt about the Jia Family, these elders were worthy of respect.
The next generation was the next generation's matter, while the older generation was the older generation's matter.
Previously, Jia Wenhao had said that the old man might not survive this winter. Indeed, he really did not survive.
This winter was a little cold for the Jia Family.
After knowing about this, Li Dong did not tease Shen Qian anymore. After chatting for a while, Li Dong hung up.
He wanted to give Jia Wenhao a call, but Li Dong knew that Jia Wenhao was probably very busy at this time. It was better not to disturb him.
As for condolences, it was not Li Dong's turn. Li Dong would not mention this matter.
