Last time, Li Dong had a small car accident and was hit by a female driver.
At that time, the BMW belonged to this woman, but they didn't talk much, so Li Dong didn't know her name.
This time, Li Dong was a little surprised to meet her here, but not too surprised.
The way this woman dealt with the accident showed that she was not simple, and now it was just confirmed.
Seeing Li Dong staring at her as soon as he entered the door, Zhang Lanyu knew that Li Dong recognized her. She got up and smiled, "General Manager Li, we meet again."
Li Dong nodded and didn't speak.
Zhang Lanyu didn't care. She stretched out her hand and smiled, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Zhang Lanyu."
Li Dong shook hands with her and smiled, "Miss Zhang, nice to meet you."
After the two of them greeted each other, the white-haired man who had been eating since Li Dong entered the door smiled and said, "General Manager Li, a rare guest. Have a seat."
Li Dong didn't say anything. He found an empty seat next to Zhang Lanyu and sat down.
Then the white-haired man said, "General Manager Li, let's eat first. We'll talk after we eat."
After that, the white-haired man began to eat again.
Zhang Lanyu frowned slightly and then relaxed. She turned to Li Dong and smiled, "This white-haired man is Chen Rui. He usually acts like this. General Manager Li, don't mind him."
Li Dong smiled and didn't answer.
Zhang Lanyu didn't care. She introduced the man with the glasses to Li Dong, "This is Wang Siwen."
Wang Siwen nodded at Li Dong. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said with a faint smile, "We have long heard of your great name, Director Li. Now that we have met today, you are indeed extraordinary."
Li Dong was still smiling, but he refused to answer.
Wang Siwen frowned but soon calmed down. He laughed and began to eat the hot pot.
Seeing that Zhang Lanyu was about to introduce Zhang Qing, Li Dong said, "Young Master Zhang, you don't need to introduce me. I am familiar with him."
Zhang Qing snorted and said, "I thought General Manager Li wouldn't come tonight."
"Why not? Young Master Zhang, it's not easy to invite a guest. I have to give you face. "Li Dong smiled.
Zhang Qing gritted his teeth and was about to explode. However, seeing that the white-haired man and Wang Siwen did not move, Zhang Qing suppressed his anger and stopped bickering with Li Dong.
Then, the private room fell into silence. Only the sound of Chen Rui eating could be heard.
Li Dong didn't move his chopsticks. He poured himself a cup of tea and slowly tasted it.
Everyone had their own thoughts. Li Dong looked at everyone one by one, and the others also looked at him from the corner of their eyes. This process lasted for a long time.
After about half an hour, Chen Rui put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. He smiled at Li Dong and said, "General Manager Li, sorry for the delay. I don't like to be polite. Everyone is willing to have a meal, so it's meaningless to hold back. Don't you think so? "
Li Dong said calmly, "I think so too. A melon that is forcibly picked won't be sweet. You eat yours, and I'll eat mine. Whether or not we can eat our fill is our own business. There's no need to snatch food from other people's bowls."
Chen Rui smiled and said, "General Manager Li is a bit interesting. That's true. But it's not absolute. Sometimes you are stronger than others, so you have to eat a little more. I'm still not full after finishing the food in my bowl, and you can't finish half of it. There's no need to waste it. "
"Being strong doesn't necessarily mean that you're fierce. It's not uncommon for small people to kill big people these days." Li Dong replied indifferently.
Chen Rui's expression changed slightly, and his smile was a bit forced.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Zhang Lanyu smiled and interrupted, "Don't talk about eating. Do we lack food?"
Chen Rui smiled and nodded. "Lan Yu is right. We don't lack food or drink now. There's no need to flip the table for a meal. Don't make it so that we won't be able to eat in the end."
Li Dong didn't say anything this time. He stared at the teacup in his hand and began to daydream.
Chen Rui and Zhang Lanyu all frowned slightly. In the end, Zhang Lanyu shook her head gently.
Chen Rui narrowed his eyes and glanced at Li Dong, then looked at Zhang Qing, and said, "General Manager Li, I know a little about the matter between you and Zhang Qing. This time, I asked Qingzi to invite you here for no other purpose. I just want to be a peacemaker. Let's settle the previous matter. I don't know if General Manager Li will give me face?"
Zhang Qing immediately wanted to say something, but he saw Zhang Lanyu and Chen Rui glare at him at the same time.
Zhang Qing was holding back his anger, but he didn't explode. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Dong glanced at the small movements of the few people, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised. He smiled and said, "Of course, we have to give face to Young Master Chen. I'm just afraid that Young Master Zhang won't be happy."
"Qingzi, have a drink with General Manager Li. We are all men. Don't fuss over such a small matter." Zhang Lanyu saw that Zhang Qing didn't move, so she laughed and joked.
Upon hearing that, Li Dong took a closer look at Zhang Lanyu. This woman looked to be in her mid-twenties. Zhang Qing was at least thirty years old, but in Li Dong's words, he sounded like a good-for-nothing child.
Moreover, he had seen the small movements of Zhang Lanyu and Chen Rui before. Could it be that Zhang Lanyu was the main character today?
Previously, he had always thought that Chen Rui was the person with the highest status in the private room. Now, it seemed that he might have guessed wrong.
Just as Li Dong was thinking, Zhang Qing raised his glass with a red face and said, "General Manager Li, let's have a drink and let bygones be bygones."
Li Dong felt a little uncomfortable, so he reluctantly raised his glass and said perfunctorily.
Today's meal was a little interesting. Previously, Li Dong could see that they were trying to put him in his place, but now, Chen Rui and Zhang Lanyu wanted to do Li Dong couldn't guess what Li Dong wanted to do.
As for being the peacemaker for himself and Zhang Qing, Li Dong felt that there was no need to make a big fuss about it.
After Zhang Qing and Li Dong clinked glasses, Zhang Lanyu continued, "General Manager Li, I heard that Far away is going to build a big project in Pingchuan, and they are investing over 100 million. Is this true?"
Li Dong didn't know the purpose of her words, so he said cautiously, "There is such a plan, but it has not been decided yet."
Zhang Lanyu didn't mind and smiled. "General Manager Li, if I may ask, if you invest 100 million, how long will it take to recoup the cost?"
"About three years."
Li Dong gave a more conservative answer. In fact, with the supermarket's current profits, it would probably take less than two years to recoup the cost.
Moreover, this was in Pingchuan, where the competition was more intense. If it was in other cities and counties, Li Dong was confident that he would be able to recoup the cost within a year.
Even so, the people in the private room were still shocked.
Obviously, Li Dong's answer was beyond their expectations. In three years, that meant that Li Dong would invest 100 million, and the annual profit would be more than 30 million.
This was not a huge profit, but it wasn't low either.
In Pingchuan, other than real estate and state-owned monopolies, other industries might not be able to compete with them.
Zhang Lanyu frowned slightly. She felt that this matter would not be easy to handle.
