At this time, Li Dong was not in the mood to care about the speculations of the outside world.
As soon as he stepped into the Du family, Li Dong wondered if he had entered the wrong house.
He suspected that he might have walked into the zoo.
Of course, the tourists were not him. He was a rare animal in a cage, being admired by the tourists.
Du Anmin and his wife did not say anything, and Shen Jianmin and the others who knew Li Dong did not say anything either.
The other four siblings of the Du family, plus the second generation and even the third generation, more than a dozen people, had never met Li Dong before.
Therefore, the moment Li Dong entered the door, everyone's eyes focused on Li Dong.
Inquiring, curious, surprised, strange, envious, admiring, relieved …
Everyone's eyes were different, and each pair of eyes showed different emotions.
In just a few seconds, time seemed to stand still.
Until Shen Qian came forward with a smile and shouted, "Uncle, Auntie, you're here. It's cold outside. Come in and sit down. I'll pour you a cup of hot tea to warm you up."
After that, Shen Qian helped Li Dong's parents, whose legs were already a little weak, into the living room.
Du Anmin and Shen Xuehua did not sit down. When they came in, Du Anmin suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Chengyuan, Sister Cao, don't be shy. Sit down and talk."
Although it was the first time for Old Du to meet Li Chengyuan and his wife.
But who was Old Du?
In this life, he had dealt with all kinds of people. A simple greeting like "brother" and "sister" made Li Chengyuan and his wife feel a lot more relaxed.
As for things like "in-laws", Old Du couldn't call them that since it was the first time they met.
After Du Anmin greeted them, Shen Xuehua also smiled and went forward to greet them.
Compared with Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang, the couple were people who had seen the world. At a glance, they could see that the two were nervous, and even nervous to speak.
After the two exchanged greetings, Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang gradually relaxed.
When they relaxed, Li Chengyuan remembered that he had just forgotten to greet them. He quickly stood up and reached out to Du Anmin, saying dryly, "Secretary Du, hello …"
Du Anmin was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and reached out to shake his hand, saying, "At home, don't be so formal. Speaking of which, they were about to become in-laws. There was no problem in calling him in-laws. Even if he was too embarrassed to do so, it was fine to call him Brother Du. In terms of age, I am older than you … "
Old Du said a few more polite words and once again invited Li Dong's parents to sit down and chat.
At this time, Shen Qian came over with tea and served them tea. Shen Qian took the initiative to sit next to Li Chengyuan and his wife and said with a smile, "Uncle, Auntie, let me introduce you. Because it's almost New Year, my uncles are all coming over, so there are a lot of people at home … "
In fact, Shen Qian had mentioned before that there were a lot of people at home, but she still introduced them one by one.
When Shen Qian was introducing them, she was a little suspicious. Why didn't Li Dong say anything?
Logically speaking, Li Dong should be showing his sincerity at this time.
Especially since his parents were here, and they were so nervous, he should be comforting them.
With this in mind, Shen Qian turned her head and glanced at Li Dong from the corner of her eyes as she introduced them.
It would have been better if she didn't look at him, but when she did, Shen Qian nearly choked.
Can't that guy be more reliable!?
…
Shen Qian felt that Li Dong was unreliable.
Li Dong felt that he had been wronged.
He also wanted to help and ease the atmosphere.
But not long after he entered the door, he was surrounded by a few naughty children. They were all very enthusiastic, calling him brother-in-law sweetly.
After that, the naughty children got notebooks and cell phones from somewhere.
They asked Li Dong for his autograph and asked Li Dong to take pictures with them so that they could show off to their friends and classmates.
Since they had already called him brother-in-law, Li Dong was too embarrassed to refuse.
When Shen Qian looked at him, Li Dong was busy signing autographs and taking pictures, so he naturally didn't have time to pay attention to them.
Fortunately, the Du family knew their limits.
When Shen Qian's second and third uncles saw everyone surrounding Li Dong, they scolded them and finally chased the children upstairs.
At this time, Li Dong was able to get away. He walked over and said with a smile, "Uncle Du, Auntie Shen, Uncles and Auntie … I'm sorry."
Du Anmin smiled and said, "It's fine. Sit down and let's have a chat. I'm tired from the long journey. I've been running around these days. Take advantage of the Spring Festival to take a break. "
Li Dong hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Du, I'm young. It's fine. As for you, you should rest more. The government's work is endless … "
The two of them chatted for a while. Du Anmin didn't forget about Li Dong's parents. He chatted about Li Dong and Shen Qian and didn't neglect anyone.
Li Chengyuan and his wife gradually relaxed. After all, they had been running the restaurant for several years. They knew what to say.
After chatting for a while, Li Chengyuan took the initiative to mention, "Brother … Brother Du, our Dongzi and Qianqian have known each other for a long time.
In the past, everyone was young, so we weren't in a hurry.
But now, Dongzi's career has reached this stage. It's said that one has to get married before starting a career.
A career can't be used to make a living. We thought that the two children are quite suitable. If it's time to settle down, then let's settle down.
"Of course, we still have to ask for your and Big Sis Shen's opinions.
If you have any requests, feel free to raise them. If Qianqian has any requests, feel free to raise them.
Today, in front of everyone, Dongzi is also here. If you have any dissatisfaction, feel free to say it. We will get Dongzi to change … "
Li Chengyuan had probably prepared these words for a long time. He didn't even pant when he said it in one breath.
Du Anmin couldn't help but smile when he heard that. "As long as the children are satisfied, we, as parents, naturally have no objections. I also know Li Dong. I've been in contact with him for several years. Because I know him, I'm not afraid to say that he's indeed outstanding. At least among his peers, there aren't many who are more outstanding than Li Dong. I'm very satisfied. As long as Qianqian and Li Dong don't have any objections, we will support them. "
Shen Xuehua gently nudged Du Anmin. The old man was too talkative today. He was almost praising the kid opposite him.
Those who didn't know better would think that Li Dong was his son and Shen Qian was his daughter-in-law.
Du Anmin smiled and didn't mind. At his stage, there was no harm in being straightforward.
Moreover, Li Dong's excellence was publicly acknowledged. This wasn't something that anyone could overrule.
Old Du and Li Chengyuan were the heads of the family to the outside world. They didn't have any objections. In fact, this matter was just going through the motions.
The key was still Li Dong and Shen Qian themselves.
The material problems that ordinary people cared about were not problems for them. There was no need to discuss this.
Li Dong didn't lack money, and Shen Xuehua was a rich woman in the past. She didn't have to worry about food and drink, so she didn't have any requirements in this area.
However, just as Li Dong was about to speak, Shen Xuehua thought for a moment and suddenly said, "About Li Dong and Qianqian, Anmin just said that they should listen to themselves.
I don't have any objections to this.
However, I still want to make a suggestion. Anmin and I only have one daughter, Qianqian. Anmin and I are both old, and it's not convenient for Anmin to move around.
In my opinion, Li Dong and Qianqian can settle down in Beijing after they get married.
Of course, Far away's headquarters is in Jiangbei. However, it doesn't matter where Li Dong works now.
Far away also has a branch in Beijing. The center of gravity can be slightly shifted to the north … "
As she spoke, Shen Qianqian smiled and said, "Mom, didn't we agree before? Li Dong and I will buy a house here, and we will come back to visit you and Dad when we have nothing to do. Far away's headquarters is in Pingchuan, and our center of gravity has always been in Huadong. Now, we are preparing to enter the southern market. If you want us to settle down in Beijing, some things will be too troublesome. Li Dong said he will buy a private jet after the new year. It will be more convenient for us to come back in the future. Also, Uncle and Auntie are used to the climate in Jiangbei. They won't be used to the sudden move to Beijing. "
Shen Xuehua rolled her eyes. How did I give birth to such an ingrate!
What do you mean they won't be used to it?
I asked you and Li Dong to come here, but I didn't ask Li Dong's parents to settle down here.
After all, she only had one daughter. Shen Xuehua was definitely lying when she said she didn't want them to settle down in Beijing.
Actually, Shen Xuehua also knew that the possibility wasn't high.
Even if her daughter agreed, Li Dong might not be willing.
She just took the opportunity to mention it, and maybe Li Dong's parents would agree. At that time, if both parents agreed, would Li Dong dare to resist?
In the end, before Li Dong could refute, his daughter refuted him.
Shen Xuehua cursed in her heart. This ingrate! It's better if he goes far away. Out of sight, out of mind!
After Shen Qian finished speaking, Li Dong also smiled and said, "Auntie, I want to come to Beijing, but Far away doesn't have a strong foundation in Beijing. Many things in the company are not perfect yet.
I can't completely ignore the situation in Jiangbei.
But don't worry, as long as the company's business is stable, we will shift our focus to the north. Even if you don't want us to come to Beijing, we will still come.
Moreover, it's a global village now. Pingchuan and Beijing are only a thousand kilometers away.
Even if we don't take a plane, we can drive in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.
In the future, when the high-speed rail opens, it will be even faster. We will often come to Beijing to stay for a while … "
Li Dong comforted her a little. If it were in the past, he would probably have nothing else to say except that he didn't want to do it.
But that was in the past. Now that she was about to become a mother-in-law, he at least gave her a way out.
After Li Dong finished speaking, Du Anmin also smiled and said, "You don't have to force this. Not only do you have to be responsible for your family, but you also have to be responsible for hundreds of thousands of employees. It's fine if it's a little farther away. Besides, Jiangbei is a place that I've always missed. When I'm free, I can visit you often. "
With a few words, Shen Xuehua's thoughts were completely dispelled.
Following that, Li Chengyuan mentioned the wedding date to Du Anmin and the others.
According to Li Chengyuan and the others, the sooner the better. However, Li Dong's cousin was getting married in March. Since they were already engaged, it wasn't appropriate to get married before Li Qing.
After discussing for a while, although Old Du was not a superstitious person, it was still necessary to choose an auspicious date for his daughter's wedding.
Even Shen Xuehua came over and began to discuss. She was thinking about whether she should find a master to do the fortune-telling later.
Of course, it would not be convenient to find a master from the Du family. It would be better to let the Li family look for one.
…
Just as the two families were discussing the wedding date.
At the same time.
The Internet suddenly exploded!
An article suddenly appeared on a well-known forum. The title of the article was somewhat eye-catching — "The Richest Man's" Path to the Grassroots "?" The title with quotation marks and question marks made the original inspirational article instantly become an article of doubt.
The article did not mention Li Dong's name, nor did it mention Du Anmin.
But the youngest richest man, rising in five years, these keywords, everyone knew that it was referring to Li Dong.
The entire article was questioning whether Li Dong really had no background.
Did Li Dong really rely on his own ability to build a hundred billion yuan corporation in five years?
Was Li Dong also a spokesperson for someone else?
Looking at Li Dong's rise, everything seemed to be helped by God. Could Li Dong, an ordinary child from an ordinary family, really rise so quickly?
With no background, no funds, and no source of information, how could Li Dong be one step ahead of them?
At the end of the article, it simply pointed out that all of this might be related to a woman.
Even with a hint of mockery, the editor wrote: "Behind every successful man, there is a woman who silently contributes. Perhaps our youngest richest man also has one or more such women behind his back."
At first, this article did not attract much attention.
But soon, some posts appeared on the Internet.
For example, Li Dong was getting married, and the woman's background was very mysterious …
Li Dong brought his family to the capital, and it was suspected that they would meet the woman's family …
At first, the various articles were very subtle. Some only mentioned it briefly, and some did not even mention Li Dong's name.
But gradually, some passers-by began to reply to these posts.
Some people said that they saw Li Dong's family in front of the Beijing Municipal Government Family Compound, carrying a lot of gifts.
Some people also said that they coincidentally met Li Dong and a woman who was very close to each other, and it was possible that the woman was Li Dong's marriage partner.
The woman was also dug out. Far away Technology's former chairman, Faraway Group's director, Shen Qian!
As for who Shen Qian was, no one revealed it for the time being.
However, some of Shen Qian's resumes were dug out. She had studied in the capital, in Sichuan, in the borderlands, and finally abroad.
In 2005, she joined Faraway Supermarket in Jiangbei.
After that, she led the team to establish Far Away Mall, and later took charge of the Distance Charitable Fund.
From the time Shen Qian joined Far Away, which was in 2005, Far Away gradually changed.
Initially, Faraway Supermarket was limited to a corner of the city. Later on, it developed rapidly without any hindrance. In just a few years, it had grown to the scale it was today.
These seemingly vague wording, in fact, led to the direction of public opinion.
Li Dong's marriage had always been a hot topic, especially for the woman. Everyone was very curious about who had won Li Dong's heart.
Now that they saw these revelations, the internet was suddenly in an uproar.
Gradually, everyone's mind was strung together.
Li Dong was not a simple grassroots. It was true that he did not have a family background, but his wife did!
Shen Qian, an official from the Association with the surname Shen. For the time being, everyone had not thought of Du Anmin.
But it was only a matter of time.
And these articles gradually revealed a meaning. Li Dong was not the so-called grassroots hero. He was just a man who lived off a woman!
