February 15th.
In the ward.
"Mom, are you used to living here?"
"…"
"I'll be back in two days. Don't worry about me. If you need anything, ask your cousin to buy it for you … "
"…"
"Well, I'm an adult. How can I not take care of myself? Just take care of yourself. I'll ask my assistant to take you out later. "
"…"
"Don't worry about it. They're taking my salary to go shopping with the boss's parents."
"…"
"Okay, then I'll hang up. Call me if you need anything."
After hanging up, Li Dong let out a sigh of relief.
Hu Wanlin crossed her arms and waited for Li Dong to hang up. She said with a faint smile, "General Manager Li, are you tired of pretending to be sick?"
Li Dong sat down on a chair by the balcony and said lazily, "What do you mean by pretending to be sick? I'm really sick. I have a concussion. I get a headache when I think about it. You can ask the doctor if you don't believe me. "
Hu Wanlin laughed and waved her hand. "Well, I'm not in the mood to ask about this. If you say you're sick, then so be it."
"You're the one who's sick!"
Hu Wanlin rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I won't talk about this with you. I say, Manager Li, aren't you being too unkind? I've worked so hard to help you, and you've given me a project worth eight million. President Chen has money delivered to his door even when he's sitting at home. A project worth twenty to thirty million. You're discriminating. How can you do business like this? "
Li Dong said weakly, "Boss Hu, you're the kind of person who takes advantage of others for granted. If you're Chen Rui's sister, I'll give you all my projects, okay? "
Hu Wanlin said bitterly, "I can't blame myself for not having a good father."
"It's fine as long as you have a godfather."
Li Dong joked casually. When he saw Hu Wanlin's expression change, he quickly said, "Boss Hu, don't misunderstand. I'm just saying."
Hu Wanlin took a deep breath and said with a chuckle, "It's alright. I don't have the ability of General Manager Li, nor do I have the family background of General Manager Chen. It's not easy to be a woman in this world. If I don't find a backer, I'm afraid I'll still be farming in the countryside. I don't want to be a faded old woman for the rest of my life. "
This made Li Dong speechless. Everyone had their own choices, and he couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong.
Li Dong was too lazy to distinguish between right and wrong. He changed the topic and asked, "Is there something you need from me, Mr. Hu?"
"It's nothing. I heard that you were injured, so I came to visit."
"Director Hu, you're quite well-informed." Li Dong laughed.
Hu Wanlin said exaggeratedly, "General Manager Li, look at what you are saying! Even the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau personally came to visit. The news has spread in both the political and business circles of Pingchuan. Far away, my boss was injured by a thug. How could I not know about such a big thing? "
Li Dong's face darkened. He said unhappily, "Director Hu, don't talk nonsense about hearsay."
Hu Wanlin smiled flirtatiously and said, "Nonsense, General Manager Li, your words are quite meaningful."
Li Dong rolled his eyes. This woman's brain has a problem.
Li Dong was too lazy to argue with her. He snorted and said, "Don't seduce me. I don't like other people's wives."
Hu Wanlin said with a hidden bitterness, "I'm not a wife yet."
Li Dong shivered. This woman really has a problem. We're not that close, right?
Hu Wanlin also stopped and did not continue. She smiled and said, "General Manager Li, do you need my help?"
"There's no need."
"General Manager Li, don't reject me so directly." Hu Wanlin smiled and said, "He has a father with a net worth of more than 100 million. You can't do anything to him for a while. Seeing him living free and unfettered all day, it's hard to hold back your anger."
Li Dong said lightly, "It seems that Director Hu has inquired quite clearly."
"Is there a need to inquire? That thug has been very arrogant recently. I heard that he told everyone he bumped into and injured the boss of Distance Media. In the end, nothing happened to him, and Distance Media's boss even lowered his head and apologized. Listen, I can't bear to hear that! "
Although he knew that Hu Wanlin was most likely talking nonsense, Li Dong's heart was still filled with anger.
Damn, this time he really did not want to find trouble, but this person saw that he was easy to bully and came looking for him.
Originally, Li Dong thought that the other party had some powerful background. After a long time, it turned out that the other party was just a rich second generation. This caused Li Dong to ponder for a long time.
Not to mention a rich second generation, even if his father came, it was nothing in front of Li Dong.
Li Dong exhaled and wanted to take a cigarette, but he could not find it after searching for a long time.
Hu Wanlin, who was next to him, handed over a lady's cigarette. Li Dong waved his hand and did not take it.
Hu Wanlin pretended to be disappointed and said, "General Manager Li, are you looking down on me?"
Li Dong was speechless. This woman really dared to use any means to make money.
Li Dong didn't reply. He took the cigarette, and Hu Wanlin helped him light it. Li Dong took a puff and said, "Although the other party is a bum, his father is still a famous person in Pingchuan. Wouldn't I be looking for trouble if I were to deal with him now?"
Hu Wanlin smiled and said, "General Manager Li, I did not ask you to do it. Who can blame you for something without evidence?"
"Tell me, how are you going to deal with him?"
"About this, it's a secret for now. Li Dong has not agreed to let me help."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Director Hu, tell me your conditions. I will consider it. That Qi fellow is nothing. When the limelight dies down, I will naturally have the means to deal with him. "
Hu Wanlin understood Li Dong's meaning, but she still smiled and said, "But isn't he still free now? As long as he is free, General Manager Li will lose face for another day. As time goes by, when the limelight dies down, who will still put General Manager Li in their eyes in the future? "
Li Dong did not say anything and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. No one knew what he was thinking.
Hu Wanlin waited for a moment and was about to speak when Zhou Haidong knocked on the door.
Seeing Cao Hongbing standing outside, Li Dong called out, "Hongbing, come in."
Cao Hongbing entered the ward and saw Hu Wanlin. He said, "General Manager Li," and did not say anything else.
Hu Wanlin did not move. Li Dong said angrily, "Director Hu, didn't you want to go to the bathroom just now?"
Hu Wanlin chuckled and stood up. "General Manager Li, then I will go to the bathroom first."
Li Dong waved his hand.
As soon as Hu Wanlin left, Cao Hongbing said, "Qi fellow said that both sides are responsible for this accident. He will not hold General Manager Li responsible."
Li Dong laughed and put out the cigarette butt. "That's it? Nothing else? "
Cao Hongbing hesitated for a moment.
Li Dong snorted and said, "Just say it. What can't be said?"
Cao Hongbing said in a low voice, "Qi fellow also said that he hopes General Manager Li to apologize to the lady. After all, she was seriously injured …"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, "He wants me to apologize?"
Cao Hongbing nodded and then said, "General Manager Li, I am afraid this matter is a bit troublesome. Qi fellow is not a big deal, but the identity of that woman is not simple."
Hearing Cao Hongbing's words, Li Dong straightened up.
He had not paid attention to that woman before. He only checked Qi Chong's identity. He did not expect that things would change.
Seeing that Li Dong was listening, Cao Hongbing continued, "Qi fellow has been shirking responsibility. I am afraid that part of the reason is that he does not want to take responsibility. That woman is Zhou Lele, the niece of Secretary Zhou of the city. When the accident happened, it was a blind date between the two families.
"I heard that after Zhou Lele's accident, Secretary Zhou was angry several times in private. He only has one son and no daughter, so he has always loved his niece. After the car accident, the blind date between the two families also fell through. The Qi family is afraid of taking responsibility, so they said that you caused the accident. "
Li Dong knocked on the table and said with a faint smile, "This is a bit interesting. They are afraid that Secretary Zhou will make trouble for them, but they are not afraid that I will make trouble for them?"
"It seems that someone does not take me seriously."
Li Dong twisted his neck and asked again, "Does Zhou Lele not know whether I caused the car accident or not?"
"This …"
Cao Hongbing scratched his head and said, "I haven't found out the specific situation, but Zhou Lele's father and Qi Chong's father are business partners. They have a good relationship before. Do you think this is the reason?"
"Maybe."
Li Dong said casually. No matter what the reason was, the Qi family was determined to blame him.
As for whether Secretary Zhou knew it or not, Li Dong felt that there was no need to go further. Anyway, Secretary Zhou did not say that he would make trouble for Li Dong. Obviously, Secretary Zhou had a general understanding of the matter.
Now that the Qi family did not admit it, it was just a cover for both sides.
After all, the two families still had a cooperation. If they really said that Qi Chong violated the rules and caused Zhou Lele's injury, it would not look good for the two families.
In the eyes of the Qi family, Li Dong was obviously a more suitable person to take the blame. After all, he was a businessman and not an official.
Previously, Li Dong thought that the Municipal Public Security Bureau should give him an explanation. Now it seemed that he was a little optimistic.
Although the Qi family was not as powerful as him, they had been rooted in Pingchuan for many years and had a good network. In addition, it involved Secretary Zhou's family. It seemed that it was good for the Municipal Public Security Bureau to remain neutral.
"Qi Chong, Zhou Lele, Secretary Zhou …"
Li Dong murmured softly. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "You go and rest first. I know what to do."
"Well, General Manager Li, then I will go first."
"By the way, which hospital is Zhou Lele in?"
"At our hospital. At that time, her fracture was a little serious and she could not move frequently, so she chose this hospital. Now she is upstairs in room 9. "
"Haha, her treatment is better than mine. Sure enough, it is good to be an official."
Li Dong laughed and sighed. Upstairs was the senior officials' area. It was not that Li Dong could not stay there, but he was too lazy to do that. It was not like he was seriously ill. He just chose a single room with a good environment downstairs.
As for Zhou Lele, she was just a little girl. Obviously, she could not be considered a senior official.
However, her uncle was the eldest brother of Pingchuan. It was too easy for her to stay in a senior official's room. If it were not for the consequences, the hospital would probably be happy to let her stay in room 1.
Li Dong was also not surprised. He sighed and sent Cao Hongbing away.
After Cao Hongbing left, Hu Wanlin came back.
Sitting next to Li Dong, Hu Wanlin smiled and said, "General Manager Li, what do you think?"
