Li Dong couldn't understand how the mastermind behind the scenes became Niu Meng.
Logically, Niu Meng didn't have to provoke him. After all, Niu Meng sent someone to follow him, and he only dealt with Wang Fei. Niu Meng didn't suffer any losses.
Could it be that Niu Meng wanted to avenge Wang Fei? Since when did the second generation start to be loyal?
Also, the person who did it was related to Hu Wanlin. Could it be that the two of them teamed up?
But Li Dong didn't think so. After all, if the two of them teamed up just to smash a few of his shops, it would be too small of a fight.
Li Dong took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. "What are these people trying to do?"
Zhou Haidong didn't say anything. He didn't know what Niu Meng meant.
Li Dong didn't lose much by smashing a few shops, and Niu Meng didn't gain anything from it. Who knew why Niu Meng did it?
Of course, there were always some weirdos among the second generation of officials. Maybe it wasn't for benefits, but to help Wang Fei vent his anger.
Li Dong couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it. He said, "Let's go to the company."
…
When they arrived at the company, Li Dong called Sun Tao into his office.
He didn't hide anything and told him the results of Wang Cheng's investigation.
Finally, Li Dong asked, "What do you think Niu Meng is trying to do? Is he going to fight me to the death?"
Sun Tao thought for a moment and didn't say anything. After a while, he said thoughtfully, "Are you sure it was Niu Meng who did it?"
"Probably. That's what the people I sent said. They won't say anything they're not sure about."
Sun Tao suddenly smiled and said, "That's interesting."
"What do you mean?"
"Niu Meng asked people to smash our shops, but he didn't dare to make it public. This doesn't fit the style of second generations. What's more interesting is that he actually wanted to use Hu Wanlin. If you didn't say that someone recognized Wang Fei's people, I'm afraid we would all think it was Hu Wanlin who did it. "
"A second generation of officials smashed several shops and framed Hu Wanlin …"
"It might not necessarily be a trap. Maybe he and Hu Wanlin are working together." Li Dong interrupted.
Sun Tao thought for a moment and shook his head with a smile. "General Manager Li, I don't think it's an alliance."
"Why?" Li Dong was curious as to why he was so sure.
Sun Tao continued, "General Manager Li, doing business cannot be separated from politics. You should pay more attention to Pingchuan's political situation."
"The person behind Hu Wanlin and Niu Meng's father are political enemies. It's impossible for them to work together."
"Moreover, the person behind Hu Wanlin is about to retire. The Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee is a member of the Standing Committee, and his ranking is not low. Niu Meng's father has been planning to enter the Standing Committee …"
After Sun Tao finished speaking, Li Dong asked in astonishment, "You're saying that Niu Meng wants to use us to cause trouble with Hu Wanlin, and then move away the person behind Hu Wanlin to pave the way for his father?"
After Li Dong finished speaking, he could not believe that Niu Meng, that brute, would have such thoughts.
However, he felt that what Sun Tao said seemed to make sense. Otherwise, Niu Meng would not have come to find trouble with him.
The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable Li Dong felt.
If what Sun Tao said was true, Niu Meng should not be underestimated.
If Wang Cheng had not followed Niu Meng before, he would not have recognized Wang Fei's men. Even if these people were caught smashing shops next time, he would definitely think that it was Hu Wanlin who did it.
Once he found out that it was Hu Wanlin who did it, he would definitely fall out with Hu Wanlin for the sake of his reputation and benefits.
If he fell out with Hu Wanlin, Hu Wanlin would definitely not be able to win against Li Dong.
Even if he did not compete with the person behind Hu Wanlin, it would not be a problem for Li Dong to take care of Hu Wanlin.
However, if he hit an outsider, would the person behind Hu Wanlin not make a move?
It would be fine if he did not make a move. But if he did, Niu Meng's father would most likely have something on him.
In the end, Niu Meng might really get what he wanted. His father would have something on Hu Wanlin, and it would not be impossible for the person behind Hu Wanlin to retire early. Before he retires, he could recommend Niu Meng's father to take over his position and use his connections. Niu Meng's father might really be able to enter the Permanent Residence.
But could Niu Meng really think of this?
Or was it Niu Meng's father's idea?
Li Dong did not hesitate for long. He quickly reacted and gritted his teeth. "No matter what he is thinking, he dared to use me as a tool and even smashed my shop. This matter is not over!"
"General Manager Li, actually, we don't have to do anything."
Sun Tao was afraid that Li Dong would make trouble again. He quickly said, "If it was really done by Niu Meng's side, we just need to leak the news to Hu Wanlin and let the person behind her know. They will definitely fight."
"That's hard to say. That person is about to retire. Do you think he will do anything at this time?"
"Of course he will! General Manager Li, you don't understand. The sooner someone retires, the more ruthless they will be. At this time, they have the greatest psychological difference. What they are most afraid of is that the person is gone. Now that the person hasn't left, someone already wants to touch him. What do you think he will think? Whether it is to establish his authority or for the future, he must take care of his opponent. Moreover, they are about to retire, so they have less scruples. "
Seeing that Li Dong did not say anything, Sun Tao continued, "When Niu Meng's father is really defeated, won't it be easy to deal with Niu Meng?"
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe Niu Meng's father is more powerful."
"No matter who is more powerful, the biggest possibility is that both sides will suffer. Anyway, they are not close to us. Even if we can't fight, we won't lose anything. We can just try. "
Li Dong thought about it and agreed. Who cares if they fight.
If they don't fight, he won't lose anything. If they fight, he might even get some benefits.
Be it Hu Wanlin or Niu Meng, without the halo behind them, it will be too easy for Li Dong to deal with them.
"Then should I inform Hu Wanlin?" Li Dong said hesitantly.
Sun Tao shook his head and said, "You can't tell her directly. Pretend that you don't know first. Just say that Hu Wanlin smashed the shop, then think of a way to let Hu Wanlin know that it was Niu Meng who did it. Only then will it be effective."
Li Dong looked at Sun Tao as if he did not know him. This guy is much more powerful than before.
Seeing that Li Dong was looking at him, Sun Tao coughed and said, "General Manager Li, I was just saying casually. You can do whatever you want. I'll leave first."
Li Dong looked at Sun Tao's back and pondered. Until Sun Tao was about to leave, Li Dong suddenly said, "Brother Sun, do you still remember our agreement?"
Sun Tao stopped in his tracks and turned around. "What agreement?"
"About the shares. I will transfer them to you when I have time," Li Dong said lightly.
Sun Tao's expression suddenly changed. He was a little excited, but also a little in disbelief.
Apart from that, Sun Tao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
He did not know where this feeling came from, but Sun Tao quickly refused. "General Manager Li, we agreed on three years. It's not appropriate to say this now."
Li Dong looked at him and said with a smile, "What's not appropriate? Back then, we agreed on three years because I am not familiar with Brother Sun. Now that Brother Sun is the General Manager, it's not appropriate to just pay dividends. You can only be the boss of Far Away if you get the shares, and it can also boost the morale."
Sun Tao's mind raced as he quickly said, "CEO Li, that's not good. What Distance Marketing wants now is stability. It's best not to mention this."
Li Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's wait for Baidu's shares to be cashed out. We will talk about it then."
Sun Tao was shocked. Baidu's shares!
He suddenly understood what Li Dong meant. He was not sure if Li Dong was thinking about this, but Sun Tao knew that he must express his stance today.
After Li Dong finished, Sun Tao said, "General Manager Li, we were talking about the supermarket. Baidu's shares are your own investment. Don't mention this again."
Seeing Li Dong wanted to say more, Sun Tao quickly said, "General Manager Li, I have something else to do. Let's talk about this later."
After that, Sun Tao rushed out of the office.
After Sun Tao left, Li Dong went into deep thoughts.
