After handing over the loan to Sun Tao and Shen Qian, Li Dong packed up and left the company.
When he reached the Global Building, a few tabloid reporters rushed up to him.
"General Manager Li, can you tell us how you feel now?"
"General Manager Li, what do you think of Baidu's future? Do you think Baidu's share price will rise? "
"Mr. Li, I heard you are still a student. Are you married?"
"Mr. Li, I heard your uncle is a senior official in Pingchuan. Is that true?"
"… …"
Li Dong's expression did not change. He was used to this kind of situation these past two days.
The real big newspapers would not be so bored as to pester him all day long. Now, all that was left were some tabloids.
It was fine if Li Dong did not say anything. If he really said anything, who knows what these tabloids would say the next day.
As long as he kept quiet, these tabloid reporters would disappear in a day or two. There were so many things going on in the country every day, and they would not pester Li Dong every day.
Luckily, Li Yanhong and the rest had not returned to China yet. If not, these people would not be looking for Li Dong.
… …
After squeezing out of the crowd of reporters, Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief.
Seems like he should not come to the company for the next two days. He will wait for them to leave. Li Dong would not be able to take it if this happened every time.
When he got into the car, Zhou Haidong and Cao Hongbing were already waiting for him.
Now that Li Dong's reputation was getting bigger and bigger, the outside world was saying that his net worth was more than 1 billion. Li Dong would not be at ease if he did not bring two more people with him.
These days, there were people who would take the risk. If someone wanted to kidnap him, who would he go to?
"General Manager Li, there are people following us. Do you want to shake them off?" Zhou Haidong asked as he looked at the rearview mirror.
Li Dong looked at the back of the car and said helplessly: "Think of a way to shake them off. After today, I will hide for two days."
Zhou Haidong responded and began to wander around Pingchuan.
After about half an hour, Zhou Haidong finally shook off the tabloid reporters.
Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Jiangzhou University."
…
Jiangzhou University.
Grassi Pavilion.
The Grassi Pavilion was an on-campus dessert shop. Because it was summer vacation, there weren't many people in the shop.
When Li Dong arrived, Fang Qingfei was already there.
Seeing Li Dong, Fang Qingfei looked at him carefully and said, "I don't see anything different. You're already so rich. Don't you think it's embarrassing to dress like this?"
Rolling his eyes, Li Dong sourly replied, "One of my clothes is equivalent to a year of your salary. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"What a show-off!" Fang Qingfei muttered.
Li Dong was speechless. "You despise me when I dress poorly, but you say I'm showing off when I dress well. You're so hard to please!"
However, he didn't have the energy to bicker with Fang Qingfei. He sat down and asked, "Why did you call me? I heard you on the phone that you're dying from a serious illness, but you're still in the mood to eat dessert. Are you kidding me? "
"Can you talk? Who's dying from a serious illness? "
Fang Qingfei was so angry that she wanted to yell at him. However, she remembered that she needed his help, so she immediately gave up and said, "Don't be so mean. I need your help with something."
"What is it?"
"To borrow money!"
Li Dong immediately frowned. Many people had borrowed money from him in the past two days.
They all knew that he was rich and wanted to take advantage of him. However, they didn't know why Li Dong would let them take advantage of him!
Originally, he thought that although Fang Qingfei's mouth was a bit mean, she was still a good person. However, when he heard that she wanted to borrow money, Li Dong's impression of her immediately dropped.
Although he felt uncomfortable, Li Dong still asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"
"Three hundred thousand." Fang Qingfei lowered her head and drank her iced water. She didn't dare to look at Li Dong.
Li Dong frowned. Three hundred thousand. Three hundred thousand in 2005 was enough to buy a 100 square meter house in Pingchuan.
Asking for three hundred thousand right off the bat, Fang Qingfei's appetite was really big.
Li Dong felt a bit suffocated in his chest. He unbuttoned a button and took a breath, "Why?"
"No reason. I need it urgently." Fang Qingfei's voice was getting lower and lower.
"No way!"
Li Dong replied in a muffled voice. He stood up and said, "My money doesn't come from nowhere. If you really need it urgently, I can consider it. But you want me to lend you three hundred thousand just because you have no reason? Do you think it's reasonable?"
Fang Qingfei's face turned red. She pulled Li Dong and said, "I really need it urgently. You are the only rich person I know. Li Dong, can you help me just this once?"
"Don't worry. I will definitely return the money. Give me some time. At most five years, I will return the money to you!"
Li Dong stared at her for a while. He sat down and asked again, "Why?"
"I'm treating a patient. He's seriously ill. The doctor said that if I don't do the surgery, I won't be able to live past this summer." Fang Qingfei's tone was a bit depressed. Her eyes were also slightly red.
Li Dong didn't really believe her words. There were many people who told him stories these few days.
He had heard all kinds of stories about serious illnesses, car accidents, bankruptcy, and so on. Fang Qingfei's story was very old-fashioned.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Li Dong said, "Okay, I can lend you the money. But you have to bring me to see the patient. Also, the loan can't be missing. It's best if you can have something as collateral. "
Fang Qingfei was happy when she heard this. Then, she said angrily, "You don't believe me? If I have something as collateral, why would I look for you? "
"You don't say it clearly. How do you want me to believe you? Three hundred thousand. Go and ask around. Who dares to lend you money like this? Considering that we are teacher and student, I will lend you the money without interest. I just want to see the patient and write an IOU. Is this too much? "
Fang Qingfei looked troubled. "But I really don't have anything as collateral."
"It's fine if you don't have anything as collateral. But you have to write the IOU. I also want to see the patient with my own eyes."
Fang Qingfei was still troubled. "I can write the IOU, but can I not see the patient?"
"Why?"
"It's a little inconvenient …"
Seeing that Li Dong was about to leave again, Fang Qingfei said helplessly, "Okay, then I will bring you to see the patient. Can you not be so heartless? Aren't rich people kind and charitable?"
Li Dong sneered. "Being kind and charitable is one thing, but it doesn't mean that I am giving money for free. Am I not a kind and charitable person? Don't you know that I donated a few million a few days ago? How many people have you seen who are kinder than me? "
Fang Qingfei pouted. She wanted to retort, but she remembered that Li Dong had not lent her the money. She could only hold back her desire to complain.
After paying the bill, Fang Qingfei said, "When can you lend me the money?"
"Anytime, but I need to see the patient now," Li Dong replied.
Although he did not have much money now, it was not difficult to take out three hundred thousand.
As for why he insisted on seeing the patient now, it was also because he was afraid that Fang Qingfei would fool him.
Actually, Li Dong felt that Fang Qingfei would not lie to him. After all, they had interacted many times. In his opinion, although Fang Qingfei had a bad temper and was very proud, she would not fall to the level of a liar.
