Pingchuan.
Li Dong only felt a little sorry for Old Master Jia's departure. It would be a lie to say that he was sad.
Everyone had such a day. Old Master Jia was not young anymore. He was not familiar with Li Dong, so he could not be sad even if he wanted to.
That night, Li Dong called Jia Wenhao and said a few words of comfort before hanging up.
Li Dong did not think too much about Old Master Jia's departure.
However, Li Dong had forgotten that the old man was actually very closely related to him. His departure was also inextricably linked to Li Dong.
…
Capital City.
Old Master Jia's funeral was handed over to the funeral committee.
The Jia family did not have time to grieve. Jia Wenhao's father, Jia Wenhao, and several direct descendants of the Jia family gathered in the small reception hall to discuss.
The atmosphere in the reception hall was a little heavy.
Jia Wenhao's father said in a low voice, "Old Master Jia is gone. The situation is not good for us now.
Wenhao must return to Capital City immediately to take up the heavy responsibility, in case he is detained and cannot return to Capital City.
In addition, we launched an attack together in the early stage.
Although we cleared some obstacles, we did not shake their foundation.
Now that Old Master Jia is gone, we are in some trouble.
Some people may change sides.
We must find a way to suppress this change. "
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with red eyes said, "Wenhao must come back. At this time, it is not difficult for him to come back. The key is that even if Wenhao comes back, he will not be able to suppress the situation. On our side, we need to show enough confidence to continue suppressing their thoughts of counterattacking. "
"Enough confidence?"
Everyone discussed in low voices.
Not far away, Jia Wenhao's eyes were also red. Seeing everyone discussing, Jia Wenhao suppressed his sadness and coughed softly, "Dad, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle … I understand what you said. In fact, what we need to do at this time is very simple. At this time, on our side, we need to push out an important person who can attract the enemy's firepower and withstand the pressure. I have a suitable candidate … "
He did not continue, but Jia Wenhao's father's eyes flickered and he said, "You mean Du Anmin?"
Jia Wenhao nodded and said, "Yes, Mayor Du.
Previously, Secretary Liu had been preparing to retire due to his illness. However, due to various reasons, it had been delayed until now.
At that time, there was no one on our side to help.
But now, he had no choice but to do something. Mayor Du had taken a step forward, and his right to speak and influence would be much greater.
At that time, even if the other parties were to make a move, they would have to be cautious.
Even if they want to make trouble, they will turn to Mayor Du first. "
"But …"
Jia Wenhao's father frowned and said, "But if we support him now, it will be troublesome on your side. I was still thinking that after you returned, you would be able to settle everything in one go. If that happened, our resources would be used up. Now that you're supporting Du Anmin, you … "
Jia Wenhao said in a deep voice, "Dad, it doesn't matter if I'm a little late. Otherwise, even if I go up there, it won't be of much use. I've just returned to the capital and I'm still inexperienced. It's not good for me to be in the limelight at this time. I still need to lay low for another two years. At this time, it will be more advantageous for us to support Mayor Du. "
Everyone looked at each other and discussed for a while. Finally, Jia Wenhao's father said in a deep voice, "That's it. Let's say hello to the Zhou family and several other families first. Du Anmin has enough experience, so it won't be too difficult. If Li Dong hadn't caused too much trouble and caused a bad influence, it would have been decided long ago. "
Everyone nodded. Speaking of Li Dong, someone couldn't help saying, "This boy, speaking of which, it was he who caused this trouble, and he did a lot of harm! Now all the benefits have been taken by them, and he's really a little unwilling. "
Jia Wenhao's father shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about him. He's a businessman and has little to do with us. If it weren't for …"
Speaking of this, Jia Wenhao's father didn't continue. In fact, he wanted to say that if it weren't for Han Yu, it wouldn't have been like this.
But in front of everyone, he had to save some face for his son.
Jia Wenhao didn't say anything. After everyone finished their discussion, he said, "I'll go to see Grandpa."
Everyone nodded. The Old Master had to be guarded, and it was not appropriate for Jia Wenhao to leave for too long.
…
Far away in Pingchuan, Li Dong naturally didn't know about this.
He also didn't think that Old Master Jia's departure would cause the Jia Family and others to have ideas about Du Anmin.
Of course, this was not a bad idea.
Although Du Anmin was under pressure, at this time, Du Anmin had just passed 60 years old.
At this time, if he could advance further, the road ahead would not be cut off.
Some things were really different from his previous life.
Li Dong didn't think that because of his influence, Du Anmin and the Jia Family would have a connection in this life.
Otherwise, without someone pushing, Du Anmin might not have been able to take over at this time.
Even if some people said that it was because of Li Dong's burden.
But in reality, some things might not be as the rumors said.
No matter how much trouble Li Dong caused, he was still not Du Anmin's son-in-law. His influence was also not to the extent that he could affect the overall political situation as a future son-in-law.
There were external factors that caused Du Anmin to be unable to take over.
In addition, he didn't have a long time to go to the capital, so it was normal to have obstacles.
But Li Dong didn't know about these things.
In addition, no one told him about this, and he was too lazy to guess about it, so naturally, he didn't think too much about it.
…
January 18th, 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.
On this day, Pingchuan celebrated the Small New Year.
Although Li Dong had a lot of things to do recently, since it was the Small New Year, he had to take time to go back to meet with his parents no matter how busy he was.
Early in the morning, Li Dong took Tian Xiaoyu and Little Shitou to Wanyuan District.
In the past few years, Li Dong was too busy and didn't have much time to spend with the two children.
However, Li Dong didn't spend much time on business. He often went out in 2008. Most of the time before that, he returned home at the standard time, so he was not unfamiliar with the two children.
In 2006, Tian Xiaoyu was already nine years old and was in the third grade.
Now, it was year 09 of the Gregorian calendar. In the blink of an eye, she was already 12 years old and started to enter the sixth grade.
In a few months, she would be a middle school student.
In the car.
Li Dong held Little Shitou in his arms and patted Tian Xiaoyu's head. He couldn't help but sigh, "In the blink of an eye, you're going to enter middle school. Time really flies."
Compared to the skinny and dry Tiny Tot, the current Tian Xiaoyu was completely different.
Her face was ruddy, her skin was tender, and her hair was jet-black. She had grown a lot taller.
When she heard Li Dong's words, Tian Xiaoyu smiled quietly.
Compared to Little Shitou, who was lively and active, Tian Xiaoyu was usually very quiet.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Dong smiled and said, "Uncle has been quite busy recently, so I don't have time to go out with you. Tomorrow, Uncle will go to the capital and take you to have some fun."
At this time, Tian Xiaoyu softly asked, "Uncle, are we going to see Auntie Shen?"
"Yes."
"I heard … I heard from my classmates that Uncle, you're going to get married?"
When she said this, Tian Xiaoyu's eyes were a little frightened.
It had been a few years, but she still hadn't forgotten what the doctors and nurses told her when she left the hospital.
If she left with Li Dong, it would be fine if Li Dong didn't get married. She and Little Shitou could still enjoy life.
However, once Li Dong got married and had his own children, she was afraid that things wouldn't be so good anymore.
In the past, the older Tian Xiaoyu got, the more she thought about things and the more she understood.
In the past, she didn't really understand these things, and she didn't know what Li Dong meant.
But now, she was almost a middle school student.
Girls matured early, and with Li Dong's place, they didn't lack anything, so it was normal for them to go online.
In addition, the children of the Provincial Party Committee matured earlier than the average primary school student.
Usually, her classmates often talked about Li Dong, the youngest richest man in Hua Xia, and the entrepreneur who made Jiangbei proud.
Many of Tian Xiaoyu's classmates were Li Dong's fans.
They all said that Li Dong's money could fill up the entire Provincial Party Committee and Pingchuan. Even the most powerful person in the province, Secretary Qin, had to be polite when he saw Li Dong.
And this kind of rich and powerful family was easier to associate with the rich and powerful families in TV dramas.
And these TV dramas all ended up in tragedy.
Tian Xiaoyu was very worried that this day would come. She was very worried that the new aunt would beat and scold her and Younger Sister Shitou.
In the Provincial Party Committee, some people actually knew her identity.
Although no one bullied her, and they didn't dare to bully her, they often mentioned in front of her that she wasn't Li Dong's biological daughter, and that sooner or later, she would be kicked out of the family by Li Dong.
This was considered good. Some people who liked the Association even secretly told her to be careful, so that she might be unknowingly killed.
Every time she thought of this, Tian Xiaoyu was terrified. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Li Dong to get married.
Li Dong didn't care about this. He said with a smile, "We're getting married soon, to your Auntie Shen. You're all familiar with Auntie Shen. She used to come to our house often. When we get married, Uncle will move to a bigger house. No, it's a manor. When that time comes, we can play in our own home. In the future, when your Auntie Shen gives birth to little brothers and sisters, you can bring them to school and play together … "
As he spoke, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Tian Xiaoyu's frightened eyes, as if she had heard something extremely frightening.
Li Dong was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. He gently rubbed her head and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing …"
"Are you afraid?"
Li Dong sighed and shook his head. "That's right. You're all grown up now. There are some things that you know no less than an adult.
I know what you're worried about.
Don't worry, those things won't happen.
Your Auntie Shen has a good temper. Besides, I'm watching.
If you've been wronged, just tell me. I've considered all this when I brought you home.
If it wasn't for the age difference, I could even call you father.
However, even if you call me uncle, I still treat you and Little Shitou like my own daughters.
Don't be afraid. This time, when you go to the capital, communicate more with your Auntie Shen. If she doesn't like you, I'll divorce her! "
Li Dong said fiercely and rubbed Tian Xiaoyu's head again.
Seeing that she was still a little frightened, Li Dong didn't know what to say.
Children, once they grew up, they would have more thoughts.
Little Shitou didn't have this kind of worry. When she came to Li Dong's place, she couldn't even speak and was still young.
Even now, she didn't really understand these things.
Gently rubbing Tian Xiaoyu's head, Li Dong thought for a while. It seemed like he could only let Shen Qian comfort her.
Women knew more about these things than men did.
Moreover, Tian Xiaoyu's worry was unnecessary.
Would Shen Qian be afraid that the two girls and Li Dong's biological children would fight over the family property?
What a joke!
Unless Li Dong was almost muddle-headed, Shen Qian wouldn't care about letting the two girls live a rich life.
Even if she gave them three to five hundred million yuan in the end, Shen Qian wouldn't care.
Moreover, it wasn't time yet. If Shen Qian was really worried, she wouldn't be worried about them. She would be worried about Qin Yuhan and Yuan Xue.
However, Li Dong was still young and didn't even have children, so Shen Qian wouldn't have that kind of worry.
…
Wanyuan Neighborhood.
When Li Dong arrived, there were a lot of people in his family.
Cao Feng's family of three were all there. Cao Yu was also there. In addition, Chen Jing had brought their daughter, Li Lan.
Seeing Li Dong come back, Chen Jing was more happy than Cao Fang. She hurriedly greeted him with a smile. "Dongzi is back. You must be tired. Sit down and have a rest. Lan, your brother is back. Come and greet him!"
Li Dong couldn't help laughing. In the past few years, he had been used to Chen Jing's hospitality.
After greeting, Li Dong looked at Li Lan and smiled. "Are you on vacation?"
"Yes, brother."
As usual, Li Lan was a little embarrassed to speak in front of Li Dong. She was also a little awestruck.
Li Dong simply asked about her studies and left Tian Xiaoyu and Li Lan with her. He accompanied his father and Cao Feng to the balcony and chatted.
After closing the balcony door, Li Dong handed a cigarette to his father and Cao Feng. He turned around and looked into the house. Li Dong smiled. "Dad, our house is a little small. Let's change it."
Li Chengyuan couldn't wait to smoke and said vaguely, "Why should we change? We're not changing. It's good like this. It's livelier with more people. Usually, it's just me and your mother at home. The house is too big, and I don't feel at ease. "
As he said this, Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I'll go out to look at houses at the beginning of the new year. When the time comes, move in with us."
Li Chengyuan was a little tempted, but he still shook his head. "Forget it. We won't go. As long as you two are comfortable, come back and stay when you have time. We're not used to the big house you live in. It just so happens that I've become familiar with the old men and women in the neighborhood in the past two years. We can play chess when we have nothing to do. Your mother can also go dance. If we live with you, we won't know what to do when you leave. "
Seeing this, Li Dong said, "It's easy to play chess. When the time comes, I'll find some old men and women to play chess and dance with you …"
"Bullsh * t!"
Li Chengyuan cursed angrily. Spending money to hire people to play chess with him was just too free!
Li Chengyuan couldn't be bothered with his son. He turned his head to look at the living room and grinned. "Next year, bring your wife and give birth to a chubby boy. Then, the house will really be lively. In this life, what I want to see the most isn't how much money you earn. When you didn't have money, your dad thought about this. Now that you don't lack money, I'm not interested in how much money you earn. I just want to have grandchildren. "
The father and son chatted for a while before chatting with Cao Feng for a while.
It wasn't until Cao Fang came over to urge them to eat that everyone stopped talking.
Looking at the crowded dining room, Li Dong couldn't help but smile. This kind of life was actually what he had always wanted.
In his previous life, he had looked forward to it year after year. In this life, he had neglected the essentials.
