Li Dong's family did not stay in Qingyang for long. After visiting Li Chenghui in the morning, Li Dong's family of three returned to Dongping in the afternoon.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Li Dong had wanted to spend the festival with his parents before leaving.
However, as soon as he arrived in Dongping, Li Dong received several calls.
After answering the calls, Li Dong was stunned for a while. Then, he told his parents that he was going back to Pingchuan.
Cao Fang and Li Chengyuan knew that he was busy, so they did not keep him for long. After giving him some advice, they let Li Dong go back to Pingchuan first.
…
Li Dong rushed back to Pingchuan without stopping.
When he entered Pingchuan, it was almost nine o 'clock. When he stepped into the Global Building, the clock pointed to ten o' clock.
Far away headquarters would have turned off their lights at this time in the past.
Far away's meeting room was still lit up at this time today.
When Li Dong entered, Sun Tao, Liu Qi, and the others were discussing something.
Seeing Li Dong, Liu Qi immediately stood up and said, "General Manager Li …"
Li Dong waved his hand and did not exchange pleasantries. He sat down and said, "Tell me what's the situation now."
"Three of the five convenience stores were smashed, and the glass doors of the other two were also smashed. The employees are fine, and they can continue to operate tomorrow. However, the shelves of the other three stores were smashed, and a few employees were slightly injured. I'm afraid they will have to close for a while, "Sun Tao said in a low voice.
"Is he okay?" Li Dong asked immediately.
"It's nothing serious. He will be fine after a few days of rest."
Li Dong was relieved. It was good that he was fine.
Then, he said angrily, "Five stores were smashed in broad daylight. Are the police useless?!"
The five convenience stores were all in the downtown area, and they were in a bustling area. Li Dong was furious that the stores were smashed and the employees were beaten up in broad daylight.
More importantly, he had donated ten cars to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Those guys had promised to set up an extra patrol line at the store Far away.
But now that the shop was smashed, the police didn't do anything. Li Dong was naturally unhappy.
Sun Tao helplessly replied, "Those people moved quickly, and it didn't take more than five minutes. Their main purpose wasn't to injure anyone. After destroying the shop, they split up and ran."
"Do you know who did it?" Li Dong also knew that it was not the time to pursue the police's responsibility, but to ask the mastermind.
"It's most likely those supermarkets. Although our convenience store isn't big, we did steal a lot of their business these few days."
"Are they that bold?"
Li Dong frowned, feeling a little suspicious.
Although it looked like the shop was smashed, the supermarkets had the strongest motive and the most profitable.
However, Li Dong still felt that something was wrong. If it was really done by those supermarkets, then they were too bold.
Business competition could be said to be unscrupulous, but that didn't mean they could be reckless.
Price wars, connections, and official investigations were all common methods. Normal businessmen wouldn't do something like smashing up their shops at the slightest provocation.
Those supermarkets were all famous hypermarkets. Could they really do something like this?
Also, the five convenience stores were smashed at the same time. Logically speaking, these five stores weren't together. They were scattered around three big supermarkets. Could it be that these three supermarkets had joined hands?
Of course, there was also the possibility that one of them was the mastermind. Smashing the other stores was just a smokescreen.
Or it could be said that it wasn't done by these few supermarkets, but by someone else.
Li Dong recalled if he had offended anyone recently. He didn't seem to have offended anyone, and there was no reason for them to use such methods to take revenge on him.
Li Dong asked again, "Did the police have any clues?"
Sun Tao shook his head. "We had sent the CCTV footage to the police, but they didn't catch the culprit. The police won't be able to find anything for now."
Li Dong frowned and thought for a while. "Ask those three convenience stores to resume their operations as soon as possible. If it was done by those supermarkets, they will surely cause trouble again. Send a few security guards from Longhua to keep an eye on them. I will call the City Public Security Bureau and ask them to patrol that area. "
Everyone nodded. The only thing they could do now was to take precautions.
They didn't know who did it, and they didn't even have a target to take revenge on.
After talking about the shops, Li Dong said to Sun Tao. "I will be visiting those injured employees tomorrow. Director Sun, come with me."
Sun Tao nodded. Although those employees were not seriously injured, it was still necessary to calm them down.
If not, they will be worried, and it will be hard for them to carry on with their work.
Because it was getting late, Li Dong didn't continue the discussion with them. He told them about the shops' repairs and dismissed them.
Everyone left, but Li Dong didn't leave.
After sitting in the office for a while, Zhou Haidong and Zheng Long came in together.
Li Dong asked them to sit down and said to Zhou Haidong, "Ask Wang Cheng and the rest to keep an eye on those two convenience stores that are still open. I suspect they won't give up and might cause trouble again."
Out of the five convenience stores, only three were destroyed. The other two were not destroyed because there were too many people in the stores. Li Dong wasn't sure if those people would come again.
Although they had sent security guards Far Away, those security guards were just ordinary people, and they couldn't do anything about it.
Wang Cheng and the rest were different. They were all elites, and it was easy for them to keep an eye on a few hooligans.
Zhou Haidong nodded and asked, "If those people come, should we ask Wang Cheng and the rest to make a move?"
"No, just keep an eye on them. It doesn't matter if they run away. Find their lair and inform the police."
There was no need for Wang Cheng and the rest to do anything. Wang Cheng and the rest were now Li Dong's spies. Although Li Dong didn't know if he would need them, there was no need to expose them for such a small matter.
Zhou Haidong understood and didn't say anything else.
Then, Li Dong asked Zheng Long, "You said Wang Jia left?"
Zheng Long looked ashamed and said helplessly, "I couldn't stop her. Miss Wang said she was busy with work in Beijing and insisted on leaving. I said I would call you, but she didn't let me. I sent her to the station and called you after she left. "
Li Dong frowned. Seeing that Zheng Long was a little nervous, he waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. She's a living person. You can't stop her."
Li Dong knew why Wang Jia wanted to leave.
On the one hand, she was afraid that Hu Wanlin would continue to cause trouble for her. On the other hand, she wanted to go to Beijing to earn money to repay her debt.
Wang Jia's mother had already undergone surgery. The surgery was very successful, but the post-treatment and medical expenses were not small.
Wang Jia couldn't earn that much money in Pingchuan, so she had no choice but to go to Beijing.
Actually, according to Li Dong's plan, he was originally going to help Wang Jia arrange a job Far away. However, Li Dong saw that she was in the hospital accompanying her mother, so he didn't have time to mention it.
He didn't expect Wang Jia to leave while he was away.
This time, Li Dong understood Wang Jia's intention. She probably didn't want to owe him too much, so she stopped Zheng Long from calling him.
This was Wang Jia's own choice. Although Li Dong wanted to help, he still respected Wang Jia's own wishes.
Everyone had their own aspirations. Li Dong couldn't force Wang Jia to accept his help.
