When he returned to the courtyard again and saw Shen Qian, Li Dong suddenly felt like he was in a dream.
Today was May 19th!
June 6th, Li Dong's wedding day.
It had only been half a month since then. Half a month actually passed in the blink of an eye.
As for Shen Qian, she was now 20 weeks pregnant.
Shen Qian, who was more than four months pregnant, didn't have a big belly. If she wore loose clothes, outsiders wouldn't even be able to feel it.
Outsiders couldn't feel it, but it didn't mean that Li Dong couldn't feel it. When he saw Shen Qian again, although it had only been a few days since they last parted, Li Dong felt that Shen Qian's belly was bigger than before.
This wasn't the point. The point was that Shen Qian was pregnant now, and the wedding was about to be held.
From the beginning until now, Li Dong seemed to be busy and didn't interfere at all.
When Li Dong got married, Li Chengyuan and his wife couldn't help much. Du Anmin and his wife were far away in the capital, so it was actually Shen Qian who handled it herself.
Shen Qian was busy managing the investment company and the wedding. She also had to take care of the two children and even Li Dong. She also had to think about Qin Yuhan and the others.
Before, Li Dong seemed to have ignored these things. It wasn't until this moment that Li Dong realized that this woman might be under a lot more pressure than she showed.
Li Dong took off his coat and didn't wait for Shen Qian to take it. He smiled and said, "I'm finally done with the business. From today onwards, it's my holiday. I'll give myself a holiday until July. "
Shen Qian was a little surprised and wanted to say something.
After spending so many years with Li Dong, Shen Qian knew him very well.
Qin Yuhan said that Li Dong treated his career as a game, and Shen Qian also felt the same way. But if Li Dong really treated his career as a game, that would not be the case.
To be more precise, Li Dong was very serious. He was playing a game very seriously.
His goal, from the very beginning, was to surpass, to reach the top, to become the king of all gamers.
In fact, other than Li Dong, weren't the other companies just playing a game?
In order to ascend to the King's Throne, Li Dong treated Far away seriously and responsibly.
Over the past five years, did Li Dong give him a break?
Perhaps, but the duration was usually very short.
This time, Li Dong actually said that he would not care about the company's matters until July. That was almost two months.
Li Dong did not wait for Shen Qian to speak. He took out his phone and made a call. When the call was connected, he said, "Come up with the reward plan tonight. I'll go to the company tomorrow and arrange everything. I'll be taking two months off from my marriage. As long as the company does not close down, you don't have to look for me for anything!"
After saying that, Li Dong did not wait for Yuan Chengdao to reply and hung up the phone.
At this time, Shen Qian finally came back to her senses. Then, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you doing? You just took down Tencent, and now the company's matters are piling up.
Tencent's restructuring, retail alliance, southern retail layout, Gome's expansion, Weibo's listing, logistics deployment …
Based on what I know, there are countless major events happening in the Faraway Lands.
Why are you taking a break at this time?
I know what you mean, but I've already said that you don't have to worry about the wedding. If you're really tired, then take a break for a few days.
Taking a break for two months, aren't you putting Senior Yuan and the others in a difficult position? "
Li Dong held her hand and walked into the house as he sneered. "Difficult position?
I'm afraid they can't wait for me to leave now.
I've been giving orders in Far away for more than five years. For more than five years, my will is Far away's will. I only need executors, not collaborators.
Therefore, professional managers like Yuan Chengdao and the others can't wait for me to leave as soon as possible.
Such a big company with hundreds of thousands of employees only knows that there's me, Li Dong, Far away. Who knows that there are others?
Now that I'm taking a break for a period of time, they might be secretly happy.
Forget it, let's not talk about this. It's boring to talk about this every time I come back. "
As he spoke, Li Dong and Shen Qian sat down on the sofa together. Staring at Shen Qian's belly, Li Dong sighed again. "Recently, I've been a little too busy. Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, in fact, some businesses should be put aside at this time. Money can be earned at any time. There's no need to choose this time."
Seeing his attitude, Shen Qian couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not a pure noob. Sometimes, opportunities are fleeting in business.
Since I can seize the opportunity, I won't let it go.
This time, we quickly defeated Tencent because of the right timing.
If it were another time, the result would be hard to say.
Besides, if you didn't take Tencent, how could you sit firmly in the position of the world's richest man? I, the wife of the richest man, might be gone before I get married. It's good like this.
But if you insist on taking a break at this time, then I won't stop you. It would be a lie to say that I don't have any complaints.
But I've long understood that when you can't do both career and love at the same time, you should prioritize your career.
Men are all like this. At this time, if you care about love and give up your career, you will definitely regret it in the end. This regret will actually cause a gap in your marriage.
If you want to hold on to both, you might not be able to hold on to both.
On the contrary, if you prioritize your career now, you will always have a little guilt in your heart. Although the guilt will not make your marriage happy, just a little bit.
But just a little bit. In the future, you will naturally think of these things, and you will only treat me better. Don't you think so? "
Shen Qian's words made Li Dong dumbfounded.
After a long while, Li Dong couldn't help but laugh. "Now I finally realize that you are a person with real foresight, vision, and breadth of mind. You should actually take over your father's job. I guarantee that you won't be doing too badly. "
Shen Qian also laughed. "That's too tiring. It's good now.
Besides, why do women work so hard?
It's good enough for men to work hard. Look at you now. Is there any difference between you and me doing well?
If I worked hard on my own, how many years would it take for me to earn 100 million?
But while you worked hard outside, I casually sold stocks at home and earned a few hundred million in a few days.
So, women ultimately have to rely on men. At least they don't have to be so tired. "
"If feminists heard what you said, they will definitely scold you until you can't lift your head." Li Dong laughed and shook his head. "I'm afraid that outsiders will never imagine that you, Shen Qian, actually have such thoughts."
"Why should I care about what outsiders think? It's enough for me to live my own life as long as I feel that it's suitable and comfortable for me.
Perhaps it's because I'm old, but in the past, I was actually the same as them.
At that time, I wished that I could leave such a family and not rely on my parents because they only brought me pressure.
When I came Far Away, my goal was to escape from my father's influence. I didn't want to live under their wings for the rest of my life.
In the beginning, what I thought the most was that one day, when outsiders mentioned me, they would no longer say, 'This is Secretary Du's daughter.'
And now, I can't wait for others to say, 'This is Li Dong's wife, Du Anmin's daughter.' "
When Shen Qian said these words, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. There was only satisfaction and contentment.
In the past, she felt that these words were ridicule and a jab at her. But now, she only felt proud.
My husband is a world-famous entrepreneur, and my father is one of the top tycoons in the political world. This is a fact, and it's also their ability.
Now that someone said this, when Shen Qian heard it, it was only envy and jealousy, not mockery. Because those who said it didn't have the right to mock her at all.
What right did they have to mock her?
How many richest people in the world?
How many tycoons in the political world?
As their wife and daughter, this was an honor, and it shouldn't become a pressure.
Li Dong couldn't help but laugh when he heard her say it proudly.
…
On this day, Li Dong didn't ask about any business matters again.
In the afternoon, he chatted with Shen Qian at home for the whole afternoon. In the evening, Li Dong personally cooked something to eat.
He hadn't cooked for a long time. He couldn't remember whether he had cooked in his life.
The only impression he had was in his previous life. Perhaps it was the previous life in his dreams. He often made some small dishes by himself, drank with half a bottle of white wine, and drank alone.
But now, he was no longer alone.
At dinner in the evening, Shen Qian and the two children were all there. During dinner, Little Shitou also played constantly, adding a bit of joy.
…
Li Dong enjoyed the joy of family at home.
Faraway Group, on the other hand, was brightly lit.
Li Dong said that he would make an incentive plan tonight. It sounded simple, but in fact, it made Yuan Chengdao and the others worry so much that their hair turned white.
100 million Tencent shares. How should they be rewarded?
Who should be rewarded?
How much should they be rewarded?
What were the restrictions?
Would it be only dividends and not trading, or would they be rewarded directly and could be freely traded?
Or could it be a stock allotment, where employees could buy with a small amount of money instead of free distribution?
There were too many things to consider in all of this.
Yuan Chengdao, who stayed up late to work overtime, wanted to call several times to ask if Li Dong had any specific policies. However, when he thought of Li Dong saying not to look for him if the company didn't go bankrupt, his words instantly stopped Yuan Chengdao.
So far, it wasn't the first time that an incentive plan was made. If he even had to ask Li Dong about this, then he was too useless as a CEO.
Late at night.
In the office, Yuan Chengdao hadn't left yet.
It wasn't just him. Many executives didn't leave today and all stayed to work overtime.
Wu Shengnan ate her midnight snack and looked up at Yuan Chengdao with a smile. "Feeling the pressure?"
Far away, very few people knew that Yuan Chengdao and Wu Shengnan had known each other for a long time.
Before they entered Far away, the two knew each other, and the middleman was Shen Qian.
Wu Shengnan was Shen Qian's best friend. Although after entering the company, Shen Qian and Wu Shengnan weren't as close as before, Wu Shengnan was indeed one of Shen Qian's few good friends.
Yuan Chengdao was Shen Qian's senior who studied abroad. At that time, they also happened to be in Pingchuan. After a while, the two got to know each other through Shen Qian.
Counting it, the two had known each other for four or five years.
Usually, when there were others around, Yuan Chengdao and Wu Shengnan didn't show that they had a personal relationship.
At this time, the others were busy or had gotten off work. There was no one else in the office, and Yuan Chengdao was more relaxed than usual.
Hearing Wu Shengnan's words, Yuan Chengdao chuckled. "Of course there's pressure, but it's not a problem with the proposal. It doesn't matter if the proposal is good or bad. The key is not this … "
"The position of the chairman of the board?"
Wu Shengnan said with a smile, "Now, Wang Yue and Sun Tao are working together to consolidate resources in Shanghai. They even have the intention of moving the headquarters south to Shanghai. Liu Hong is consolidating Tencent in Shenzhen. Once Tencent resumes trading and Weibo gets listed, Far Away Technology will even surpass the retail group and become the number one company Far Away! The only two listed companies are Far Away Technology. Liu Hong's strength has increased, and so has his hopes. As for Chen Lang and Kong Xiangyu, they don't have much hope. But until the end, everything is hard to say. And you … "
Wu Shengnan paused and smiled. "The executive committee has been established. Other than life and death matters, General Manager Li has handed over almost all the group's affairs to you. Your hopes are not low! But to put it bluntly, the position of the chairman of the board might not be yours. "
Yuan Chengdao raised his eyebrows. "From your tone, you seem to have some wise ideas. If you don't mind, tell me. Also, why didn't you mention yourself? "
"Me?"
Wu Shengnan shook her head and sighed. "I don't have a chance. I thought that Dong Yu Real Estate would continue to expand. The expansion of the real estate group and its influence would surpass the retail group. But in the end, General Manager Li only treated Dong Yu Real Estate as a money-making industry and had no intention of expanding. Even Yuanfang City had been separated from it midway and controlled by itself. At that time … "
Wu Shengnan didn't continue, but Yuan Chengdao understood what she meant.
Last year, when Han Yu and a group of people schemed against Li Dong, Li Dong directed and acted out a big show. Far Away's board of directors also had a big change at that time.
Sun Tao and the others had a tacit understanding with Li Dong. They reported everything, no matter how big or small.
As for Wu Shengnan, she didn't report it. Maybe she really forgot, or maybe she really felt that Li Dong was being controlled inside.
After Li Dong returned, he immediately removed Wu Shengnan's control over Far Away City.
Until this year, it was confirmed that the main task of the real estate company would be Far Away City. The residential real estate would no longer expand, and the Far Away City project was taken back again.
But no matter what, the previous incident had obviously made Li Dong hold a grudge against Wu Shengnan. It was good that Wu Shengnan could keep her current position. She had no chance of becoming the chairman of the board of directors.
Although Yuan Chengdao had been against Li Dong in the past, Yuan Chengdao was much more shrewd than Wu Shengnan. He said it clearly in person, whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
Including the matter of Shen Xuehua and Shen Qian looking for him, he told Li Dong thoroughly.
In this way, even if Li Dong was dissatisfied, he vented it on the spot. He didn't have so much grudge in his heart. This was the difference in essence.
Therefore, Yuan Chengdao's position as the chairman was getting more and more stable. It wasn't something that Wu Shengnan could compare with.
Wu Shengnan didn't continue to talk about herself. She continued the previous topic and said, "I said that you don't have much hope. In fact, the key lies in your current position.
In the past few years, you have been maintaining the image of stability.
In everyone's eyes, Yuan Chengdao's ability to maintain stability is top-notch.
General Manager Li is fighting and breaking through the enemy lines. No one can deny that you are a qualified logistics director.
Far away has been expanding for so many years. According to General Manager Li's thoughts, including all of our thoughts, once General Manager Li steps down, the next person should naturally focus on stability.
And to maintain stability, you are the best candidate. This is something that many people can see for themselves. "
Yuan Chengdao nodded and said, "Isn't that so?"
Far away had been expanding since 2004 and had never stopped. Now the group was exhausted. If Li Dong really left, of course, it would be to recuperate.
Wu Shengnan sneered and said, "I'm afraid even you think so, so you are more stable than before.
Do you think that the more stable you are, the more stable the position of the chairman of the board will fall to you?
Director Li might be thinking the same thing now, but I guarantee that he won't be thinking that way very soon.
A person who has been fighting for more than five years without stopping, do you think he will really let it go?
At this time, the more he thinks, the more demanding he is in his selection.
He hopes that the successor can maintain the stability of the group, and he also hopes that the next successor will not let down his name, continue to expand, and continue to fight!
Do you understand the phrase 'to forget the battle is to be in danger'?
He did not wish for the next successor to rest on his laurels and not move. Deep in his bones, he wished to continue to charge forward. Perhaps he himself was tired, but he hoped that the next successor would still have this passion and courage.
What do you think General Manager Sun is going to do in the south?
General Manager Li hopes that while he can maintain stability, he also hopes to cultivate his belligerent nature. While stabilizing the overall situation, he can continue to maintain the ambition of expansion. This is what General Manager Li wants to see.
Therefore, General Manager Sun went to the south. In fact, from this point of view, General Manager Li is very nostalgic, so he gave General Manager Sun the biggest opportunity and guidance.
As for you, you are at most the number two candidate. "
Yuan Chengdao was silent. Wu Shengnan smiled and said, "So if you really want to continue, lead Far Away, and become the helm of Faraway Group, then from now on, you have to change. The ability to stabilize the overall situation, everyone has now seen. The ambition to expand, including the ability to face the enemy head-on, no one has seen it. If you want to be the helm of a group worth hundreds of billions or even trillions, you can't be partial. You have to show your ability in all aspects. "
Yuan Chengdao stood up and was not in a hurry to reply.
Walking to the balcony and looking out the window, Yuan Chengdao suddenly said, "You suddenly told me this tonight. It's a little different from before. Tell me, what are your conditions? "
Wu Shengnan laughed and said, "What conditions can I have? Now I am a director of the group, the chairman of Dongyu Real Estate. Even if you become the chairman of the board, you have no actual influence on me. As a friend, I am just reminding you. After all, in the eyes of some people, we are all relatives … "
As soon as she said this, Yuan Chengdao frowned and said, "This is a company, not an empire!
I admit that we are all Shen Qian's friends, but the position of the company has nothing to do with this!
I just want to be a pure professional manager. I only think about the company. Of course, there are also my personal pursuits, ideals, and interests, but it doesn't include Shen Qian's interests!
Forget it, you women won't understand even if I tell you.
General Manager Li will understand. Only men can understand a man's mind.
Your stagnation in the past two years has a lot to do with these boring thoughts. Go back and think about it. "
Wu Shengnan was slightly stunned. Then, she took a tissue and wiped her mouth. She got up and said with a smile, "Maybe. Sometimes, women in the workplace may think a little more. I have said what I need to say. I won't say anything else. It's getting late, I'll go back first. "
"Okay, I still have to wait for a while."
Wu Shengnan did not say anything else and walked out.
When she reached the door, Wu Shengnan suddenly turned her head and said with a smile, "Sometimes, women actually prefer those who show their ambition.
If you have ambition, show it!
If you hide it, even if you really succeed, you will give people the feeling that you are more feminine and less masculine.
Failure is not scary. Even if a man who shows his ambition and is domineering fails, people will still love him.
Look at General Manager Li. Even if he fails now, even if he loses everything, he will still not lack followers.
Women are actually emotional. Sometimes, they don't care about the ending. "
Yuan Chengdao frowned and did not say anything. Wu Shengnan said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand. I am not talking about me. You know who I am talking about."
"Get out!"
Yuan Chengdao shouted softly, his face full of displeasure.
Wu Shengnan laughed again. She did not care about his attitude. She waved her hand and walked away.
