Shen Qian's arrival was a complete surprise. Chen Rui and the others were momentarily at a loss.
They had mentioned the project several times, but Li Dong had rejected them through Shen Qian.
If Li Dong had rejected them directly, he might have offended Chen Rui and the others. However, it was different for Shen Qian. If she did not give them face, Zhang Lanyu and the others could not do anything about it.
The few of them were instantly depressed. They knew that they could not come to an agreement today.
Since that was the case, Zhang Lanyu and the others did not mention the project anymore. Instead, they chatted with Li Dong.
Anyway, this matter was not urgent. Even if Li Dong wanted to start work, he could not do it so quickly.
There was still time. They could talk about it slowly.
After all, it was a project worth hundreds of millions. It was impossible for Li Dong to agree just because they said a few words. Zhang Lanyu and the others were also prepared to fight for a long time.
Today, because Shen Qian was around, they could not talk about some things.
When Shen Qian was not around, they could talk to Li Dong. Chen Rui and the others could still come up with conditions that would satisfy Li Dong.
Li Dong ate and drank as he should. As long as they did not mention the project, it did not matter to him to chat.
As they spoke, Chen Rui suddenly said, "General Manager Li, do you know that Niu Meng has been arrested?"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows. Niu Meng had been arrested?
He really did not know about this. He had been in Dongping for the past few days and did not pay much attention to what happened in Pingchuan.
However, when he left, Niu Meng was still alive and kicking. Something had happened so quickly?
The first thing that came to Li Dong's mind was the person behind Hu Wanlin. This person had taken action quickly. He had thought that he would have to wait for a year and a half.
As he was thinking, Chen Rui smiled and said, "This matter has something to do with General Manager Li."
Li Dong pretended to be surprised and said, "Chief Chen, you must be joking. I haven't had many dealings with Young Master Niu. How is this related to me?"
Chen Rui waved his hand and said, "General Manager Li, don't misunderstand. It's Niu Meng's fault. He's too impulsive."
"Not long ago, General Manager Li's shop was smashed. This was done by Niu Meng."
Li Dong was surprised, "Niu Meng made it? I haven't offended Mister Niu, have I? "
Chen Rui frowned slightly. He didn't know if Li Dong really didn't know or if he was pretending not to know.
However, since it was brought up, Chen Rui didn't play dumb. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if General Manager Li believes it or not. Although this was done by Niu Meng, he really didn't have any bad intentions. Niu Meng is a little stubborn. He's like a firecracker.
"A few days ago, because of the land in Hua Manor, Niu Meng might have misunderstood General Manager Li and acted impulsively."
"The police said that General Manager Li reported the case and finally found out that it was Niu Meng. They arrested Niu Meng for being involved in the underworld. What I mean is, can General Manager Li show mercy and withdraw the case? When Niu Meng is released, I'll ask him to apologize to General Manager Li. "
After saying this, Chen Rui's eyes sparkled. He stared at Li Dong's face without blinking.
Li Dong didn't bat an eyelid. He smiled and said, "This is simple. Don't say anything about apologizing, General Manager Chen. I'll ask someone to withdraw the case. Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I will definitely give face to General Manager Chen. "
Chen Rui's eyes flashed with doubt, but he didn't think much about it. He smiled and said, "Then, thank you, General Manager Li. Let me toast you."
"General Manager Chen is too polite!"
Li Dong squinted his eyes and smiled. He got up and drank with Chen Rui.
Then, they chatted for a while. Li Dong brought Shen Qian, whose face was a little red from drinking, out of the private room.
After they left, Zhang Lanyu frowned and said, "Why did you mention this just now?"
Chen Rui smiled and said, "You ate my meal. You should at least bleed a little."
"Besides, if he doesn't withdraw the case, I'm afraid there will be some trouble with the Niu Family. Niu Meng is still quite obedient. It's not worthwhile to get involved for such a small matter."
Zhang Lanyu glanced at him and snorted without saying anything.
She was still a little dissatisfied in her heart. Just now, Li Dong agreed too quickly. It was not like a young man at all.
Niu Meng smashed his restaurant, but Li Dong didn't mind at all?
He withdrew the case just because Chen Rui said to withdraw the case. Li Dong was too cowardly. It didn't take a brain to know that Li Dong must bear a grudge in his heart.
For Niu Meng, not to mention offending Li Dong, he might even offend Shen Qian.
Chen Rui's brain must be flooded with water!
If it was according to Zhang Lanyu's idea, she should have a good relationship with Li Dong at this time. It was not worth it to fall out with Niu Meng!
Today, because of a few words from Chen Rui, the foundation laid before was all destroyed.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lanyu was even more unhappy. Chen Rui didn't mention this to them before.
…
Out of the restaurant, the night wind blew, and Shen Qian became a lot more sober.
Li Dong let go of her hand and chuckled. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Shen Qian knew what he meant and replied indifferently.
After today's meal, some things were made clear, and both of them were well aware of it.
Li Dong asked her to borrow power. Shen Qian was aware of this, but she didn't care, or it could be said that she didn't take it seriously at all.
It was not a big crime. With the behavior of Chen Rui and the others, Shen Qian was also displeased. If she rejected it, then she rejected it. What else could she say to her?
Of course, she still had to give them the benefits that should be given.
Shen Qian smiled and said, "Don't forget about the car."
"I won't forget. You can choose it later. The company will reimburse it."
Li Dong also smiled. It was just a car. No matter how many people wanted to give it away, they couldn't. Speaking of which, he was probably the one who took advantage of it.
Since Shen Qian said so, it meant that she didn't take it to heart. Li Dong also breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the reason why he brought Shen Qian today was that Li Dong also wanted to test her reaction.
He didn't believe that Shen Qian didn't have any idea about the matter of the land in Hua Manor last time.
Since Shen Qian didn't have any reaction last time and didn't come to ask for credit, Li Dong knew what Shen Qian meant. She didn't care about these things.
In other words, Chen Rui and the others weren't in Shen Qian's eyes. She didn't care whether they offended them or not.
Since that was the case, Li Dong didn't want to be pretentious. It was good to be able to benefit from it.
Shen Qian didn't mention the car anymore. Instead, she asked, "Do you really want to withdraw the case?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Of course I want to withdraw it."
Shen Qian wrinkled her nose and said suspiciously, "Really?"
In her opinion, Li Dong wasn't such a generous person.
"Of course. I still have to give face to Young Master Chen." Li Dong added, "But I don't have the final say on this matter. It's not certain if the police will withdraw the case."
Shen Qian immediately smiled. She knew that Li Dong wouldn't be so kind.
Would the police withdraw the case?
The deputy mayor's son was arrested. This was almost a death feud.
If he didn't kill Niu Meng and defeat the father and son of the Niu family, wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself?
Li Dong just casually expressed his stance, and the other party refused. Then, Li Dong took advantage of the situation and didn't care anymore. Would Chen Rui still force him to withdraw the case?
Li Dong said it because he was giving face to Chen Rui.
If Chen Rui still forced him to withdraw the case, it would be a life-and-death battle with Li Dong. Shen Qian didn't believe that the white-haired monster Chen Rui would do that.
The two laughed for a while and stopped talking about Chen Rui.
Li Dong glanced at Shen Qian and said, "Do you want me to send you back?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "What do you think? I accompanied you out for dinner in the middle of the night, and you want me to go home alone? "
"It's my fault. Miss Shen, please." Li Dong smiled and opened the car door for Shen Qian.
Shen Qian didn't hesitate and got into the car.
Then, she said to Zhou Haidong. "Provincial Party Committee Compound."
Li Dong looked at her, but Shen Qian didn't look at him and didn't say anything.
Shen Qian didn't say anything along the way.
Li Dong looked at her and scratched his head. He thought for a while and didn't say anything.
Shen Qian only said when they arrived at the Provincial Party Committee Compound. "Just park here."
After Zhou Haidong stopped the car, Shen Qian said to Li Dong. "I'll get you a pass next time. You can drive in directly."
Li Dong didn't understand what she meant.
A pass to the Provincial Party Committee Compound?
Shen Qian's words had a lot of implications, and Li Dong couldn't digest them all in a short time.
Shen Qian didn't explain. She smiled and got out of the car.
After Shen Qian walked away, Li Dong's eyes flickered, and he murmured, "Could it be …"
