Although he was unhappy, Li Dong also knew that what they said was right.
Just as Liu Qi had said, he was now representing Faraway, so it was obviously inappropriate for him to be too independent.
When you don't have the power to break the system, then you have to adapt. If one day Li Dong became the richest man in the country, it would be no problem for him to go out to a banquet in slippers.
But now Li Dong obviously didn't have this qualification. A formal charity banquet naturally couldn't be too casual. Otherwise, others would look down on him.
After sending away Sun Tao, Liu Qi suddenly turned around and asked, "General Manager Li, are you going to do your hair and buy clothes by yourself?"
"Why? Do you have a problem with that?"
Liu Qi chuckled and then said, "General Manager Li, your taste is a bit special. I think you'd better find someone to accompany you."
Li Dong's old face darkened again. He said word by word, "Out!"
Liu Qi was not afraid. She smiled and said, "General Manager Li, what I said is true. Your taste in matching clothes is really not very good. I say …"
"Liu Qi, disappear immediately!"
Li Dong angrily interrupted her. Do you still want to work? Boss, you dare to dislike me?
Liu Qi chuckled and hurried out of the office.
After she left, Li Dong snorted softly and looked down at the mirror. After a while, he muttered, "He's quite handsome. What does Liu Qi know? You should look at a person's temperament."
Of course, although he said so, Li Dong also knew that he was just defending himself.
From the beginning to the end, he was not a handsome man. But after two years as a boss, his temperament was cultivated a little. When he went out, he would not be ignored.
…
At night, after work.
As soon as Li Dong left the office, Liu Qi asked, "General Manager Li, when are you going to buy clothes?"
Li Dong frowned and said, "Why do you care so much? Just do your job well."
Liu Qi felt wronged and said, "I'm your housekeeper. Your girlfriend isn't here, and you have poor taste. You're dressed so casually. How can I not care?"
"Say it again! Believe it or not, I will fire you!" Li Dong glared at her.
Liu Qi laughed and continued, "General Manager Li, let me know when you are buying clothes. I will ask Director Shen to accompany you. She has seen a lot of things, and she is also a returnee. She has good taste. I will ask Director Shen to help you take care of it later."
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "We'll talk about it later. Oh right, tonight you go and collect information on the mountain torrents. I want to see it tomorrow."
"Alright."
When it came to business, Liu Qi was not ambiguous. She responded and said, "General Manager Li, you should buy a car."
"Do you have nothing better to do? Far away from the building, has everything been settled? If you have nothing to do, go to Washington Manor and stop poking your nose into my business. "
"General Manager Li, this is business." Liu Qi reminded him, "You said that it will be embarrassing if you drive an A4 to the gala."
Li Dong snorted and said, "It's a charity gala, not a competition for the rich."
"I know that, but I heard that Guanghe Group will also be attending. What if we meet Qi Guanghe? He drives an A8. If you meet him, will you still have face? "
Li Dong did not mind if Liu Qi did not say anything. When she finished, Li Dong touched his chin.
He and Qi Guanghe had a lot of friction recently.
Although the two did not make any big moves, they fought fiercely in private.
Li Dong squeezed Qingfeng Supermarket's living space, and Qi Guanghe teamed up with a few small and medium-sized supermarkets to make things difficult for him.
If not for some scruples, the two would have already fought.
It was fine if Qi Guanghe did not attend the gala, but if he did, Li Dong did not care what others thought of him. He could not lose face in front of Qi Guanghe.
His car was smashed last time. If he drove an A4 this time, that old man would definitely laugh at him.
Thinking of this, Li Dong secretly made up his mind to get a good car before the gala.
But he still said stubbornly, "Qi Guanghe is nothing. I don't need to bother with him."
After that, Li Dong did not care about Liu Qi's snickering and snorted and left the company.
…
When he went home, he saw Zhou Haidong driving seriously. Li Dong coughed lightly and said, "Old Zhou, do you have the Maybach you mentioned last time?"
Zhou Haidong, who was driving, was overjoyed and quickly said, "We don't have the car, but we can reserve it. We can place an order, and it will arrive in a month or so."
"So slow?"
"If General Manager Li needs it urgently, we can speed it up. There are no cars in Pingchuan, but there are cars in Beijing and Shanghai. Just get someone from the car market to transfer the car over. We just need to add some money. "
Li Dong knocked his thigh. 6 million RMB was not cheap. Was it worth it to buy a car?
But Li Dong quickly reacted. Why not spend the money he earned? He could sell Baidu shares soon, and he does not lack money now. Why should he make it hard for himself?
In his previous life, he had not even touched a luxury car. Now that he had the opportunity, why not enjoy it?
Li Dong exhaled and said, "Then go and reserve it. Hurry up. I want to see the car before the 18th."
"No problem!"
Zhou Haidong agreed readily, and this was a good thing.
At the end of the day, Li Dong was the one who drove most of the time. Driving a luxury car was a different experience.
Although it was not his car, he was proud to drive such a car.
…
The next day.
Li Dong was sitting in his office, looking at the information Liu Qi had collected.
Because Monkey Head Mountain was too far away, and the news reports only mentioned about this incident, Liu Qi did not collect much information.
The general situation was similar to what Liu Qi had reported yesterday. But the number of casualties was higher than what Liu Qi had heard. Monkey Head Mountain's locals had reported that the number of missing and dead people was more than 100.
The government had only counted those corpses and did not include the missing people.
Monkey Head Mountain was filled with villagers, and most of the villages only had one or two families living deep in the mountains. The government did not report on these people's situation.
However, it was rumored that most of these independent villages didn't withdraw this time.
There was a flash flood, followed by a mudslide. The probability of those people dying was not 100%, but there was a 90% chance of them dying.
Helicopters and vehicles could not enter the mountains, and they could only rely on manpower to rescue them. By the time the roads to the mountains were cleared, those people would be long dead.
There were a few tragic photos in the report. Li Dong looked at them for a while and sighed.
Hundreds of casualties was considered a huge disaster in peacetime.
Because of this disaster, Li Dong could not help but think of the disaster that happened on the other side of time and space. That earthquake had shocked the world, and the number of people who died wasn't just a hundred, but tens of thousands.
If the injured and missing people were included, the number would reach hundreds of thousands, and the losses would be uncountable.
Originally, Li Dong had subconsciously forgotten about this matter. After all, he could not participate in this kind of thing, and he might be dissected if he was not careful.
But looking at the people of Monkey Head Mountain, looking at the tragic photos, Li Dong could not bear to see them die.
Li Dong considered himself a rather selfish person. He was not so selfless that he would allow himself to be captured and dissected for research in order to save others. However, seeing tens of thousands of people lose their lives and millions lose their homes, Li Dong could not help but feel a little shaken.
Li Dong took a deep breath and calmed himself down after a long while.
It was useless to think too much. Not to mention that he did not dare to reveal that he was a reincarnated person, even if he did, who would believe him?
Back then, during the earthquake, it was not that no one had predicted it, but before it happened, who would take it seriously?
Li Dong sighed softly. Forget it, he would donate more money when the time came.
If he really could not do it, he would form a few rescue teams and wait for the disaster to pass. It could be considered as doing his part.
As for anything more, Li Dong could not do it now.
He was just an ordinary person. Although he seemed to have some achievements now, he was just a local tycoon with a net worth of a few hundred million. In the face of a disaster, what could he do?
Li Dong did not mind helping others, but that was under the premise of his own safety and not suffering any losses.
The impact of the earthquake was too great. If he was not careful, he might even lose his life. Li Dong did not want to die young.
Letting out a long breath, Li Dong decided not to think about this matter for the time being.
In any case, there were still two years before the disaster would happen. Who knew what would happen in two years? Maybe things would change, and maybe the earthquake would stop.
Li Dong comforted himself. Just when he was about to continue reading, someone knocked on his office door.
"Come in!"
Shen Qian pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Li Dong reading some documents, she stretched her head to take a look and said, "Monkey Head Mountain?"
Li Dong was in a dilemma. When he saw Shen Qian, he could not help but vent his anger. "The government is very helpful. Not many people died, and not much property was lost. We have to thank the government."
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment. Then, she said with a wronged expression, "Why are you angry at me?"
"Who's angry?"
Shen Qian pouted and said a little angrily, "I can't be bothered with you. If you are unhappy, I will help you scold my dad at night. That should be fine, right?"
Li Dong choked. After a while, he snorted and said, "Don't use my name. Scold him yourself. I will support you in spirit."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes. Can you not be so shameless?
Although she didn't want to talk to Li Dong, Shen Qian still explained, "This kind of thing is not something the government wanted. The system is like this. The location of the Monkey Head Mountain is special. No one expected that a few light rains would cause a flash flood. Later, the government's rescue was very fast. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Li Dong sighed. He waved his hand and said, "You don't need to explain to me. I'm just venting my anger. Don't take it seriously."
He changed the topic and said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Shen Qian didn't want to talk too much about the Monkey Head Mountain. After all, this matter involved the upper echelons of the two provinces. It was useless to pursue who was right and who was wrong.
Hearing Li Dong's question, Shen Qian said, "Didn't Liu Qi say you want to buy clothes? I happen to be free today. If you are not busy, let's go take a look. "
"I'm not going. Don't mind my business. I'm not a child. I don't need you to accompany me to buy clothes. "
Shen Qian said angrily, "Who cares about your business. If it wasn't for Liu Qi begging me, I wouldn't even care about you."
Li Dong glanced at her and said, "Is this your attitude towards the boss?"
Shen Qian snorted and said, "Buying clothes is a private matter. You said it's not my business. Why should I be polite?"
"I changed my mind. I have time now. Let's go buy clothes!"
"I'm not going. I'm not your servant."
"If you don't go, I'll deduct your salary!"
"Why?!"
"Because I'm the boss."
"Shameless!"
"Scolding me? Fine, deduct more."
"Why?"
"Because I'm the boss."
"Li Dong!"
"Calling the boss by his name is impolite. Deduct another 100."
"I'll kill you!"
"…"
