Chairman's office.
When Li Dong entered, Hsu Shengzhe, who was reading the newspaper, was surprised. "Damn, you're done with the meeting?"
"Is there a problem?"
Li Dong glanced at him and turned to Bai Su. "Make me a cup of tea, the ones Shen Qian brought back last time."
"Okay …"
Just as Bai Su replied, Hsu Shengzhe scolded. "Are you trying to piss me off? What's so great about having a father-in-law who can distribute special tea leaves? It's just some tea leaves. Do you think I can't afford it? "
Li Dong sneered. "Even if you can afford it, you have nowhere to drink it."
This was not Li Dong bragging. Sometimes, money was not everything.
The tea leaves that Du Anmin received were all genuine peerless treasures.
Don't be fooled by the Da Hong Pao tea leaves on the market. Authentic Da Hong Pao tea leaves were all nonsense.
It was not pure nonsense. Some Da Hong Pao tea leaves were indeed transplanted from the mother tree's branches. But there were only a few authentic Da Hong Pao tea leaves on the cliff. Their annual output was less than one catty.
More than half of it was sent to the capital as tribute, and the rest was distributed to the provinces.
In the past, when Du Anmin was in Jiangbei, he could still get a small share.
But when he went to the capital, he could not get a share at first.
Later on, when he became a top tycoon, the supply was restored.
Old Du did not have many hobbies. Cigarettes were not an issue, but wine and tea were his hobbies.
In the end, a married daughter was like spilt water. He finally managed to get some stock in the study, but before he could enjoy it, Shen Qian had taken away all the pots and pans. Not even a single tea leaf was left for him.
Because of this, Old Du made a phone call and found an excuse to teach Li Dong a lesson. This showed how angry the old man was.
Of course, there were some authentic mother tree tea leaves on the market in recent years.
In 2004, Wuyi Mountain held a cultural festival and held an auction. An American Chinese spent more than 200,000 US dollars to buy 20 grams of mother tree tea leaves.
With such a price, one would either collect it or buy it for a taste. Otherwise, even a rich man like Li Dong would feel the pinch every time he drank a cup of tea.
Moreover, after 2006, the local government announced that they would stop harvesting the Mother Tree. Now, the authentic Mother Tree tea leaves were getting fewer and fewer.
When making tea, one couldn't just grab a handful and throw them in. One had to count them piece by piece.
In fact, it would be a waste to give these tea leaves to Li Dong.
If it was someone else who loved tea, they wouldn't let Bai Su handle this kind of tea leaves at all. For someone like Bai Su who didn't understand the art of tea, if she used ordinary tea leaves to make tea, she would be scolded to death by a group of people.
Li Dong mocked Hsu Shengzhe for not being able to drink it. What he said was also true. It couldn't be bought on the market. Sometimes, it would appear at auctions, but it would be quickly bought at a high price.
Hsu Shengzhe didn't have much of a pursuit for tea leaves. Naturally, he wouldn't spend too much time to go to various auctions.
Although he didn't have any pursuit, after being mocked by Li Dong, Hsu Shengzhe was still annoyed. "It's just a few tea leaves. Whoever wants to drink it can drink it. I have a large collection of limited edition cars in my garage. Do you think I'm showing off?"
Li Dong snorted disdainfully. "It's just a car. Is it worth showing off? Nowadays, it's not popular to play with cars in the industry. It's not popular to play with man-made ones. It has to be natural. Do you understand? "
"Scram!"
Hsu Shengzhe was furious. He took a deep breath and calmed his anger. Then, he continued the previous topic. "You have a meeting so soon?"
Li Dong did not announce many things. It only took him about 15 minutes to do so.
Hsu Shengzhe saw that he was in a hurry just now. He thought it was something important. He didn't expect Li Dong to come back so soon.
Li Dong sat down on the sofa and took the teacup handed over by Bai Su. He smiled and said, "Nowadays, can you do anything without efficiency? I have millions of people in a minute. A meeting in ten minutes is tens of millions. I have to speed up. "
"You are so free today that you deliberately provoke me, right?"
Hsu Shengzhe was completely speechless. He couldn't refute anything. He stared at Li Dong for a while and said after a while, "Don't talk about these useless things. Go to the club and play some ball. The weather is just right now. Spring and summer are alternating. Don't you go out and exercise at this time? Why are you still in the office? Can you still have some pursuits? "
"Yes, I have too many pursuits. Didn't you see that my position as the richest man in the world is stable? As for you, do you want me to help you pull some strings and let you appear on the list of the richest people? Now your name can't be found at the back, and people are too lazy to scroll down … "
"Li Dong!"
Hsu Shengzhe glared at him and said angrily, "Did I provoke you? Are you unable to find anyone to provoke now, so you can only use me to practice your eloquence? "
Li Dong smiled and said, "I have nothing to do anyway. Didn't you make it just in time? But then again, you guys have learned bad things now. I make a phone call and send a text message. You bastards either don't see it or hang up the phone directly. Is this how you treat the richest man in the world? It's your honor that I call you. Now, all of you are putting on airs … "
"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't hang up your phone. Don't vent your anger on me." Hsu Shengzhe scolded, then he got up and said, "Let's go out and look at the sky. Basking in the sun is better than staying here. Your office hasn't changed at all after a few years. It's annoying to look at. Let's go out and relax. I have something to tell you. "
Seeing that he insisted on dragging him out, Li Dong got up and took out his phone to make a call. Once the call was connected, he said, "Let's go to the Lanshan Society. It's boring at home. After exercising, we can go to the garden to have a look."
"…"
After Li Dong said a few words, he hung up. Hsu Shengzhe was speechless and said, "I really admire you now! You just went out for a while, and you still have to bring your wife. Is there a need to do this? Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything. No matter how great your achievements in this life are, it's the end. You're a henpecked man. "
Li Dong changed his coat and said with a smile, "You're not a fish. How can you know the joy of fish?"
"I don't need to know. I only know that fish are meant to be eaten. I don't care if it's happy or not."
"Vulgar!"
"You're even more vulgar. You're just an undergraduate student, and you're still talking about literature with me. At least I got a master's degree from a famous foreign university."
"Hehe …"
After changing his clothes, Li Dong said with disdain, "What's so great about a master's degree? Not to mention that school you've never heard of, even a master's degree from the Kellogg School of Business is at home to take care of my child. "
Hsu Shengzhe said playfully, "When did you have such a special hobby? Are you talking about Yuan Chengdao?"
"Get lost!"
"…"
The two of them talked and scolded each other and walked out of the office as if there was no one else around.
After they left, Bai Su shook her head and was speechless. The more she mingled in the upper class, the more she realized that her previous fantasies were really just fantasies.
She used to think that these people of the upper class must be well-dressed, gentle and generous.
But after following Li Dong for a period of time, Bai Su finally realized that everything was just her imagination.
Not to mention Li Dong, Hsu Shengzhe used to be in line with the image of an upper-class person in her mind. But after spending a long time with him, she realized that she was thinking too much.
Now, Hsu Shengzhe was very good at cursing and swearing.
As for the new rich people in the internet industry, Bai Su had also been in contact with almost all of them. The heads of the three companies, Alibaba, Alibaba, Alibaba, Alibaba, and Alibaba were provoked by Li Dong more than once or twice, and they even fought each other.
Even Li Yanhong, because of the stock issue, had a heated argument with Li Dong.
Although the general education and age of the tycoons in the industry were lower and older than the new rich people in the internet industry, Bai Su used to think that these people's personal qualities should be lower. Later, she realized that in comparison, these people might be older, but it was better.
Of course, after spending a long time with Li Dong, there were signs that they were turning into old gangsters.
In the end, Bai Su did not know if it was like this in Li Dong's circle, or the entire upper class was like this?
Or was it all because of Li Dong's influence? Was it really as others said, that Boss Li had corrupted the atmosphere in the circle?
Thinking of this, Bai Su could not help but think of the board meeting just now. The four directors' power had been weakened, and Liu Hongmei had suddenly risen to power.
Next, should I establish a subsidiary company, or continue to stay in the headquarters?
Although Li Dong said that as long as there was an empty position, and the difference in rank was not big, she could choose by herself, but Bai Su also understood that if she was too opportunistic, even if Li Dong did not mind, it would still leave a bit of a thorn in his heart.
Thinking of this, Bai Su thought of the previous two secretaries.
Liu Qi was now a non-executive director of the group. Her position was high, but her power was not necessarily that heavy, especially after she left the position of the secretary of the board of directors. In fact, Liu Qi was now almost half out of the group's system.
Chen Ke was still struggling in Gan Province. Originally, she wanted to follow Wang Yue's path and soar to become the next female general Far away. Now, her future was uncertain.
Where should I go from here?
Was it really the right choice to leave Li Dong's side?
…
Bai Su was worried about her future, and Hsu Shengzhe was worried about who to find to accompany him.
He had something to talk to Li Dong about, and it was naturally best to find a woman to accompany Shen Qian.
Logically speaking, it was best to find Bai Yue Qin for this matter.
But perhaps because of her family background, Bai Yue Qin could not talk to people like Shen Qian, and they did not have a common language. At this time, there was no need to put his wife in a difficult position.
Originally, the most suitable candidate was naturally Hu Xiaorui.
But Li Dong and Shen Qian's wedding was approaching, so it was better not to find Hu Xiaorui, lest that girl was provoked and did something later.
After thinking about it, Hsu Shengzhe finally made a phone call on the way.
…
When Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe arrived at Lanshan Club, Shen Qian had arrived earlier than them and was chatting with Ji Lanxin at the entrance.
Seeing that Ji Lanxin was also there, Li Dong couldn't help but glance at Hsu Shengzhe and said in a low voice, "Okay, I brought my wife. You also brought your second daughter-in-law?"
Hsu Shengzhe said impatiently, "Don't give me that, I'm just looking for a guest to accompany you. Besides, Ji Lanxin said that you wanted to use Jin Ding's jewelry for the wedding, but she couldn't find you no matter how hard she tried, and Shen Qian said that you can make the decision. Take advantage of this opportunity. If you don't decide, the Ji family will really be anxious. The wedding is only a few days away. If I didn't know that you didn't change to someone else, I'm afraid the Ji family would think that you broke your promise. "
If he hadn't mentioned it, Li Dong would have almost forgotten.
When Hsu Shengzhe mentioned it, Li Dong said in annoyance, "I almost forgot. Ji Lanxin called me once last time, but I was too busy and didn't pay attention. Shen Qian didn't say anything either. This is really … it's already been half a month. Can we make it in time now? "
Hsu Shengzhe shrugged and said, "How would I know? But it shouldn't be a big problem. The Ji family will prepare your things in half a month even if they have to risk their lives. Now Jin Ding is waiting for you to advertise for them for free. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "I think you're more concerned about it than me. Old Xu, tell me the truth. Do you have other thoughts?"
Hsu Shengzhe walked towards Shen Qian and said with a faint smile, "I don't play with feelings. It's meaningless. Whether I'm tempted or not, it's the same thing. When a successful man gets into trouble, 80% of it is because of a woman. Femme fatale is no joke. If something happens to you, 80% of it is related to a woman. So I advise you to take it easy. You can do anything, but you have to be emotional. Relationships are harder to play than business. With your personality, you can't play it. "
After he finished speaking, the two arrived at the door. Li Dong saw this and didn't say anything.
After greeting Shen Qian, Li Dong looked at Ji Lanxin and said with a smile, "I've been so busy recently that I almost forgot about something important. I'll really have to trouble you with the jewelry we talked about before. Since everyone is here today, let's settle this matter. It's almost time, and we can't delay anymore. I asked Old Xu to call you on the way. I didn't even have the nerve to call … "
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Hsu Shengzhe coughed heavily and couldn't help but curse in his heart. How dare you say that?
You asked me to call you?
But this was also good. He and Li Dong didn't go to the Jinding Club. He was a little embarrassed to ask Ji Lanxin to accompany him here. Now that Li Dong had given him a reason, he didn't need to owe him a favor.
When Ji Lanxin heard this, she quickly said with a smile, "It's no trouble, no trouble. We all know that you've been busy recently. The matter of the jewelry is not too complicated. President Shen and I have already discussed it in the early stage. We're just waiting for you to finalize the style. You can definitely wear it before the wedding. You can rest assured about this. "
In fact, Ji Lanxin didn't say that the styles that Shen Qian had chosen before had already been designed and made by Jinding.
Old Master Ji knew Li Dong's character. He wouldn't go back on his word. Maybe he was really busy and forgot.
Shen Qian didn't remind Li Dong, and they were embarrassed to mention it again. However, they had been preparing. When Li Dong chose it, they could immediately make the final improvement.
Otherwise, if they really started to prepare now, they might not be able to make it in half a month.
They chatted for a while and walked toward the inside of the club together.
They didn't go indoors. The Lanshan Club was not small, and there were many outdoor sports and leisure places.
The sun was shining brightly today. They didn't want to be confined indoors, so they chose a sunny place to sit down.
As soon as they sat down, Li Dong said, "Lanxin, you and Shen Qian watch for a while. I'll play a game with Old Xu. I'll come back to watch later."
Ji Lanxin nodded quickly. After Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe left, Ji Lanxin said with a smile, "Sometimes I really envy you, Qianqian. It's better to find a husband like Li Dong. It's not that his career is big. Although it's related, there are really too few people who can still take care of their family when they have reached this stage in their career. For example, in my father's generation, those who have reached this stage in their career are almost the kind of people who don't stay at home. It's lucky to see them once every ten days or half a month. But as far as I know, Li Dong keeps the habit of going out early and coming back late for at least 300 days a year. Just for this, I have to envy him. "
Shen Qian chuckled and said, "Do you think he doesn't want to go out? He is too despised by others and has no place to go, so he goes out early and comes home late. When he goes to Lin 'an, Ma Yun can't wait for him to leave immediately. When he goes to Shenzhen, Ma Huateng doesn't care about him at all. When he goes to the capital, those people in the capital can't wait for him to finish his business and leave in one day. Otherwise, he would have run all over the world and disappeared. "
"Pfft …"
Ji Lanxin couldn't help laughing. After a while, she said, "This seems to be good. If he is really smooth and smooth, it will be troublesome if he keeps going to dinner and drinks. For example, Hsu Shengzhe, outsiders say that he loves his wife, but in fact, he doesn't go home at least half a year a year. For women, money and wealth are sometimes not the most important. What's important is companionship. There are not many men who can do both material and spiritual well. "
Shen Qian glanced at her, smiled, and didn't say anything.
Women have many requirements for men, and men also have many requirements for women. Ji Lanxin said that Hsu Shengzhe couldn't do it, but could she do it herself?
If Ji Lanxin could really be like Bai Yue Qin, who stayed at home to support her husband and teach her children, Hsu Shengzhe might be tempted.
But Ji Lanxin had her own career and her own ambition. She couldn't do all this.
Since she couldn't do it, Hsu Shengzhe, a man who also had ambition, naturally wouldn't choose her again.
