Li Dong was not in a hurry to answer Hu Wanlin's question.
After a while, Li Dong asked, "Why do I feel like you're more anxious than me?"
Hu Wanlin pretended to be angry. "Forget it. He's helping us out of goodwill. Why are you being so suspicious? I won't help you."
Li Dong glanced at her. "Take care. I won't see you out."
Hu Wanlin was exasperated. "General Manager Li, I was just joking. Why are you chasing me away?"
"Cut the crap. Tell me what you want."
"Sigh, General Manager Li's words are so hurtful …"
"I have a headache. I'm sick. If you don't tell me, I'll rest."
Hu Wanlin burst into laughter. After a while, she clutched her stomach and smiled helplessly. "Fine. I'll be straightforward. Give me more of the projects in Washington."
Li Dong smiled faintly. "That's all?"
Hu Wanlin combed her hair. "What do you think?"
"You want to help me deal with the Qi family for some projects? The Qi family is not the Feng family. Qi Guanghe is a respected figure in Pingchuan. He even has business cooperation with the second son of the Zhou family. Do you think I don't know anything? "
Hu Wanlin rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Li Dong said impatiently, "Alright. I'm going to rest. Take care, CEO Hu."
Hu Wanlin said angrily, "General Manager Li, you're too practical. It hurts our relationship."
Li Dong sneered. 'What relationship do we have?'
Although Hu Wanlin was a woman, Li Dong never underestimated her. This woman was more manly than a man.
What woman would want to be a loan shark?
Even Hu Wanlin herself would not believe that this kind of person only wanted to help Li Dong vent his anger.
As for the projects, it was even more impossible. There were not many projects left in Washington.
Even if Hu Wanlin took over, she would at most earn a few million. Would she cause trouble for the Qi family for such a small amount of money?
Li Dong didn't know much about Qi Guanghe, but he knew that Qi Guanghe had a close relationship with the Zhou Family. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a blind date between the two families.
Although Secretary Zhou was angry at Qi Chong for hurting Zhou Lele with his car, they might become one family after their anger subsided.
Just this alone was enough to make Hu Wanlin retreat.
However, Hu Wanlin did not do so. She even encouraged him to take revenge, and he even helped her. This was not in line with her character.
Seeing the disbelief on Li Dong's face, Hu Wanlin helplessly said, "General Manager Li, it's tiring talking to you. Can you be more cheerful and open-minded?"
"I should be the one giving these words to you. Can't you be more direct with your words? Be more sincere with your words."
The two of them looked at each other, then they both laughed.
At this moment, Hu Wanlin did not hide anything. She said directly, "Qi Guanghe has a photosynthetic garden company under his name. I want to buy it."
"His appetite is not small. His company is estimated to be worth at least 20 to 30 million, right? Are you sure you can afford it? "
"Even if I can't, I still have to. I want to change industries. I don't lack money for now, but I lack manpower. I'm not interested in the photosynthetic garden company's value. I'm interested in the company's resources and talents. Qi Guanghe has recruited many senior engineers, architects, and gardeners over the years. Just these elite talents are enough for me to recoup my losses. "
Li Dong touched his chin. This time, he felt that Hu Wanlin was telling the truth.
Hu Wanlin wanted to go into the greening industry. She should have made a lot of money over the years, and she had some connections. However, it was not easy to recruit talents.
Photosynthetic Garden Engineering Co., Ltd. was quite famous in Pingchuan.
There were talents, resources, and a mature team. This was what Hu Wanlin wanted.
However, Li Dong still shook his head and said, "Forget it. If you want to buy all these, do it yourself. I don't have any deep grudges with Qi Guanghe. It's not worth fighting him to the death. "
Hu Wanlin sneered and said, "General Manager Li can't be that naive, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think that Qi Chong would be able to blackmail your boss from a distance like that? Do you think Qi Chong can think of getting through the police? "
"Qi Guanghe doesn't have any deep grudges with you, but has General Manager Li ever heard of the saying that cutting off a person's livelihood is like killing his parents? I'm afraid Qi Guanghe can't wait for you to die. If he didn't know he couldn't control you, do you think he would have reconciled with you so easily? If this matter didn't involve his relationship with the Zhou family, do you think he didn't want to kill you with a borrowed knife? "
Li Dong's heart skipped a beat, but his face did not change. He said, "I know what I'm doing. There's no need for you to worry."
"Know what you're doing? I don't think so. "
Hu Wanlin narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Then General Manager Li must know that the owner of Qingfeng Department Store is Qi Guanghe's brother-in-law, right?"
"Oh, I think it's called Qingfeng Supermarket now. Nominally, it's his brother-in-law's business, but everyone knows that his brother-in-law is an idiot. In fact, it's Qi Guanghe's own business."
Hu Wanlin looked at Li Dong with a smile. She was not anxious at all.
Li Dong frowned. Qingfeng Supermarket belongs to Qi Guanghe?
He knew a little about Qingfeng Supermarket. It was a local enterprise in Pingchuan. It was converted from a former department store and had three to four stores in Pingchuan.
It also had some stores in other cities, but not many. Because it used to be a department store, the area was not small, and the scale was not bad.
Far away had risen recently, and those famous supermarkets could not handle it. Qingfeng Supermarket was no exception.
He heard that one or two stores in Pingchuan had been closed. Did Qi Guanghe want to cause trouble for him?
Li Dong moved his fingers and said after a while. "How do we do it?"
Hu Wanlin's eyes lit up and she said with a charming smile, "It's simple. Isn't Chief Li injured? Far away's CEO got a concussion. How can the media not pay attention to this? Publish it in the newspapers, reveal the identity of the perpetrator, and expose the collusion between the government and businessmen. Destroy the evidence, and upload the surveillance video online … "
"The surveillance video is gone." Li Dong interrupted.
Hu Wanlin laughed. "General Manager Li, the traffic police force is not run by one person. If he can destroy it, why can't I save it?"
Li Dong nodded and did not speak. With Hu Wanlin's background, how could there not be someone in the traffic police force?
Not to mention whether the surveillance video was destroyed or not, even if it was destroyed, that person could get it back.
Seeing that Li Dong did not ask any more questions, Hu Wanlin continued. "Because of the bad influence in society, the police re-opened the case …"
Hu Wanlin spoke for a long time, and in the end, Li Dong could not help but interrupt. "Even so, at most, Qi Chong will be detained for a few days. Didn't you still not achieve your goal?"
Hu Wanlin sneered. "Who says detention is enough? What if it turns into 'business competition failed, rich son plotted to kill'? "
Li Dong sucked in a breath of cold air. This woman was really evil.
If that was the case, Qi Chong did have the motive. Coupled with the ability of the person behind Hu Wanlin in the political and legal system, they might really be able to convict him.
They had the motive, the surveillance video, and other evidence.
If it turned into murder, Qi Chong would probably be skinned alive.
The Qi family only had one son. How could Qi Guanghe sit back and do nothing?
In the end, it would be nothing more than compromise, peace talks, and giving up part of the benefits. The Guanghe Garden Company should be one of the conditions.
Although things were definitely not that simple, with Hu Wanlin and the sly old fox behind her, they would definitely do their best. Maybe in the end, they would not even need to show up.
From the beginning to the end, only Li Dong would show up.
At that time, whether Qi Guanghe should hate Hu Wanlin or Li Dong, it was obvious.
Li Dong glanced at Hu Wanlin and said after a long time. "What's in it for me?"
"How about Qingfeng Supermarket?"
"No need. It's at most 20 to 30 million yuan. It's not worth the risk."
Hu Wanlin frowned and then smiled. "General Manager Li, I'm doing this for you. Think about it. Even if you don't do anything, will Qi Guanghe be grateful to you? How dangerous it is to keep a ticking time bomb. "
Li Dong retorted. "According to what you said, the Qi family will still be the Qi family in the end. Qi Guanghe and Qi Chong will only lose some money and you will take advantage of them. It doesn't seem to benefit me at all, right?"
"Then what should General Manager Li do?"
"If the crime is true, Qi Guanghe is the mastermind."
Hu Wanlin's eyes narrowed. This guy's heart was blacker than hers.
Murder was not a small crime. When the person was in prison, if Li Dong played some dirty tricks, he might even lose his life.
Hu Wanlin only wanted money. She didn't expect Li Dong to dig up the roots. How ruthless.
Hu Wanlin exhaled softly and smiled. "General Manager Li, killing someone is just a matter of business disputes. It's not good for you to make such a fuss."
"Forget it. I'll pretend you didn't say anything."
Li Dong waved his hand. "Okay, I'm a little tired. Please do as you wish, Boss Hu."
Hu Wanlin bit her lip. It's easy to make a businessman bleed, and he can bear it.
But if you want his life, and Qi Guanghe doesn't explode, it will be her and the old man behind her who will be the mastermind.
At that time, Qi Guanghe won't cause trouble for Li Dong. He will only look for her and the old man. It's not worth it.
Hu Wanlin thought for a while and chuckled. "General Manager Li, I'll leave first. This matter is not urgent. We'll discuss it later."
As soon as Hu Wanlin left, Li Dong shouted, "Old Zhou!"
Zhou Haidong walked in from the door.
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Think of a way to send a message to Qi Guanghe. Just say that Hu Wanlin has taken a fancy to his photosynthetic garden."
Zhou Haidong was surprised. "Inform Qi Guanghe?"
Li Dong curled his lips. "What's wrong? This news is true. It's not like I'm spouting nonsense … "
After thinking for a while, Li Dong said, "Forget it. Let's wait for Hu Wanlin to make a move."
Now that Hu Wanlin was only tempted and had not made a move, Qi Guanghe would at most be on guard. He might not dare to fall out with Hu Wanlin.
When Hu Wanlin made a move, he would expose it. After all, it was a portion of Qi Guanghe's assets. Li Dong believed that Qi Guanghe would not compromise so easily.
Zhou Haidong scratched his head. "But isn't Boss Hu on our side?"
Li Dong glared at him. "What do you mean by on our side? Do you think Hu Wanlin, a loan shark, is a good person? She only wants to get benefits and not get involved in any trouble. What a nice dream! She's using me as a shield. Why don't you see where she got her confidence from? "
"That sly old fox behind her retired mid-year. Do I have to suck up to him?"
Seeing Zhou Haidong's dumbfounded face, Li Dong waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this first. I still need to think about it. Prepare a gift. We'll go upstairs to visit Miss Zhou later. "
Zhou Haidong sighed. He felt that the world of the rich was too complicated. He could not be bothered to think about it anymore. He nodded. "Understood."
After Zhou Haidong left, Li Dong rubbed his head.
The world was too complicated. Sometimes, Li Dong just wanted to do business in peace, but trouble always came knocking on his door.
Hu Wanlin and Qi Guanghe were not good people. One wanted to take revenge on him for stealing his business, and the other wanted to use him to gain benefits. But was he, Li Dong, an idiot?
Hu Wanlin made it sound simple. He just needed to leak the news to the media and did not need to care about anything else.
If it was so simple, Hu Wanlin could just expose it herself.
In the end, she just wanted to use his name. When the matter developed to a certain extent, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
At that time, Hu Wanlin would most likely set him up. Li Dong did not want to continue being a scapegoat.
Sighing softly, Li Dong was full of helplessness. In this day and age, you do not eat people, but others always want to eat you. The world is difficult.
