The next day.
In the morning, Li Dong and Sun Tao went to visit the injured employees.
There were a total of four injured employees. Although they were all minor injuries, Far Away was now recuperating in the hospital to show that they valued their employees.
Hearing that the big boss and the general manager came to visit them personally, the employees were flattered.
They were just ordinary employees at the bottom level. Not to mention the boss and the general manager, they didn't even get to see the top management.
They didn't expect that the two most important people Far Away would come to visit them because of a minor injury.
Li Dong visited the employees. First, he asked about their conditions. Then, he expressed his gratitude to the employees Far Away for their contributions.
Although it was all polite words, it made the employees' eyes turn red.
Finally, Li Dong announced that the injured employees would each be rewarded with three thousand yuan, a month of paid leave, and priority for promotion under the same conditions …
As soon as he said those words, the four employees were so grateful to Li Dong that they shed tears of gratitude.
Such a minor injury in exchange for more than five thousand yuan, and priority for promotion. It was such a good deal!
Li Dong chatted with them for a while before leaving the hospital with his people.
Once they were out of the hospital, Li Dong said to Liu Qi behind him, "Publicize this matter later. Let everyone know that Far Away doesn't mistreat employees!"
Liu Qi nodded and suggested, "Why don't we start an internal newspaper? In the future, all matters of the enterprise can be published in the newspaper to increase the employees' sense of belonging."
Li Dong glanced at her and smiled. "You know how to use your brain. Not bad. Let's do that."
The internal newspaper didn't cost much. Not only could it increase the employees' sense of belonging, but it could also promote the enterprise's culture. It was worth investing in.
Hearing Li Dong praise her, Liu Qi couldn't stop smiling.
Li Dong ignored her and said to Sun Tao, "Brother Sun, go to the two convenience stores that are still open. I'll go to the city bureau later."
Sun Tao nodded and brought a few people to the convenience store.
Li Dong took Liu Qi to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to see how the case was progressing.
…
City Public Security Bureau.
Because Far away had donated a car some time ago, the Municipal Public Security Bureau paid a lot of attention to the case of Far away's store being smashed.
Hearing that the boss Far away had come to visit, Deputy Director Chen Song, who was in charge of criminal investigation, personally received Li Dong.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Dong asked about the progress of the case.
Chen Song had already anticipated what Li Dong would ask. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "Far away's shop was smashed yesterday. The bureau took it very seriously and launched an investigation overnight …"
Li Dong just listened to Chen Song's foreshadowing and bragging about his achievements. He kept smiling and didn't say anything.
When Chen Song said that one of the culprits had been caught, Li Dong quickly said, "We've caught him. Did he say who ordered him to do it?"
Chen Song shook his head and said, "This person is just a local gangster. He doesn't know the specific situation. He just followed orders and took money to do things."
Then he said, "But he also said that this time he only smashed things and didn't hurt people. So we speculated that it shouldn't be for personal grudges. Maybe it was to prevent the Far away's shop from being opened. This situation is more likely to be a competition in the same industry … "
Li Dong didn't interrupt him, but it was a little awkward to listen to him.
The more he listened, the more uncomfortable Li Dong felt.
As for what exactly was wrong, Li Dong couldn't tell.
When Chen Song finished, Li Dong didn't say anything more. He thanked Chen Song and left the police station.
After getting in the car, Li Dong didn't say a word.
Liu Qi glanced at him cautiously and hesitantly said, "General Manager Li, I think what Director Chen said seems to be deliberately misleading us."
"Deliberately misleading?"
"Yes, he is a veteran criminal investigator for many years. It doesn't fit his identity to guess that it was a competition in the same industry without any evidence."
"And he seems to be talking a little too much. You didn't even ask General Manager Li, and he just told you everything. A veteran criminal investigator shouldn't have so much to say, right?"
Li Dong looked at Liu Qi with some surprise and said strangely, "Why did you use your brain today?"
Liu Qi's mouth twitched. Was this a compliment or a sarcasm?
What do you mean I used to use my brain today?
Did I not use my brain before?
Liu Qi curled her lips and snorted. She turned her head and didn't speak anymore.
Li Dong didn't care, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In fact, he also thought about what Liu Qi said. What Chen Song said today was indeed a little misleading.
But he was a deputy director of the municipal bureau. Why would he lie to him?
The smashing of several convenience stores was not a big case. Even if Chen Song said that he didn't find anything, Li Dong couldn't do anything about it.
Chen Song wouldn't lose anything even if the case was dragged on and couldn't be solved.
What was the purpose of Chen Song deliberately saying this today?
Li Dong thought for a long time and finally called Wu Jianguo.
As soon as the phone was connected, Li Dong asked, "Chief Wu, you've heard about the smashing of several stores Far away. Do you have any clues?"
Originally, this was just Li Dong's opening words. In fact, he wanted to ask who Chen Song was.
But Wu Jianguo's answer was somewhat unexpected.
"General Manager Li, I've advised you not to fight with Hu. You don't have to get involved in that matter …"
Wu Jianguo was a little talkative today, probably because he and Li Dong worked together last time.
Although this case did not happen in Wu Jianguo's jurisdiction, according to Wu Jianguo's understanding, this matter was very similar to Hu Wanlin's modus operandi.
Anyway, in Wu Jianguo's opinion, this matter was most likely done by Hu Wanlin.
Hanging up the phone, Li Dong's brows furrowed.
Hu Wanlin. In fact, Li Dong had thought that Hu Wanlin was taking revenge on him, but he quickly rejected this idea.
Because there was no need, unless there was something wrong with Hu Wanlin's brain.
The one who owed money was not him, Li Dong. He was at most a middleman. Even if the negotiation failed, Hu Wanlin had no reason to take revenge on him.
Everyone in the world came for benefits. Apart from offending Li Dong, Hu Wanlin's revenge on him had no benefits at all.
Would Li Dong give her money if she smashed a few of Li Dong's stores?
If that was the case, then Hu Wanlin shouldn't be lending money at usury. She should just rob money.
Moreover, when Wang Jia was in Pingchuan a few days ago, Hu Wanlin didn't do anything.
Now that Wang Jia had just left, Hu Wanlin asked someone to smash her own store. Wasn't this a waste of effort?
Of course, it was also possible that Hu Wanlin's brain was really messed up. She just wanted to take revenge on Li Dong. If that was the case, Li Dong had nothing to say.
But apart from Hu Wanlin, who else could be against him?
In comparison, between the other supermarkets and Hu Wanlin, Li Dong was more inclined to let the other supermarkets do it because it was profitable for them.
Then what was Chen Song's previous words for?
The person behind Hu Wanlin was Chen Song's immediate boss. If Hu Wanlin was the one who did it, then it was reasonable for Chen Song to absolve her.
But was it really Hu Wanlin?
Li Dong had a headache. It was just smashing a few convenience stores, but it almost turned into a palace fight.
In fact, smashing a few convenience stores didn't cost him anything. Li Dong didn't care about this kind of monetary loss.
Other than making him feel disgusted, it had almost no effect on him.
Originally, Li Dong thought that if he really couldn't find out who it was, as long as those people didn't appear again, there was no need for him to pursue them.
But now that they were causing trouble, Li Dong's heart was in a mess.
Weren't you playing mind games with me? I must drag you out!
