After calming himself down, Li Dong asked, "Why can't we provoke Hu Xiaorui?"
Hsu Shengzhe did not answer. He raised his glass and said, "Let's have a drink. We can talk slowly."
Li Dong clinked his glass with Hsu Shengzhe's and finished it in one gulp.
Hsu Shengzhe gave him a thumbs up and praised, "You're straightforward. I hate those who refuse to drink. If you don't want to drink, don't drink. It's boring to refuse to drink."
Li Dong joked, "I'm thirsty, or else I won't drink beer."
Hsu Shengzhe laughed and returned to the previous topic. "It's not that we can't provoke Hu Xiaorui. The key is that most people can't handle her character. As time goes by, people don't like to hang out with her. Moreover, she has a powerful background. We can't afford to offend her. Who would want to interact with her? "
"Hu Ming?"
"Nope." Hsu Shengzhe shook his head. "If it's just Hu Ming, Hu Xiaorui would be dead by now."
"I'm sure you don't know about Hu Ming's family history. Hu Ming is a grassroots person. He was a technician in a textile factory before he was 30. He only made his fortune in the last twenty years. Do you know why? "
"I don't know."
"It's because he married a good wife."
Hsu Shengzhe did not know if it was out of contempt or envy. He paused and smiled. "Hu Ming's wife is not simple. His father-in-law was the mayor of Pingchuan 20 years ago. 20 years later, he's in Peking University. "
"Is he from the province?"
"Of course not. He's from a higher position."
Li Dong was surprised. "He's still there?"
"Yes, he's a deputy. But he's one of the best in the country. Otherwise, how do you think Hu Xiaorui can stand side by side with Shen Qian and Jia Wenhao?"
"I've never heard of him. Didn't Nanrui Group have financial difficulties recently? If he's still around … "
Hsu Shengzhe laughed. "He's divorced."
"You said you're divorced?"
"Sigh, the husband's discipline is weak, the tigress is in charge, and the status in the family is low. Even a man can't stand it. Hu Ming has endured for twenty years. He can be considered a good man. "As Hsu Shengzhe spoke, he teased Li Dong," You be careful too. Don't follow in his footsteps. "
Li Dong understood what he meant and snapped, "Go to hell, don't talk nonsense. Do you believe that I won't tell Shen Qian?"
Hsu Shengzhe immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha, you still don't want to admit it. Now you've confessed. However, Shen Qian is a good person, and I've never heard of her being domineering. If you really marry her, you'll have to work ten years less. "
Li Dong snorted, "If Shen Qian hears this, do you think she will not settle the score with you?"
Hsu Shengzhe waved his hand and said, "Fine, pretend I didn't say anything. Let's talk about Hu Xiaorui instead. You've offended her tonight, so be careful next time. "
Li Dong frowned and said, "No way, I've offended her just like that?"
"What do you think? Do you know why she called me … that? "
Li Dong could not help but laugh and said, "Treacherous Official Xu, right? Just now, Hu Xiaorui even put me on the same level as you."
"Ahem, that nickname is only given to Hu Xiaorui in the whole of Pingchuan. I suspect that this girl, Hu Xiaorui, is sick in the head. "
Li Dong was slightly displeased and said, "Old Xu, that's a little too much. Why should a man be so calculative with a little girl?"
"It's true, I'm not lying to you!" Hsu Shengzhe said with a serious face, "I really suspect that she's sick in the head! Hu Xiaorui's intelligence development is a little slow. Don't think that she's twenty years old, but she's actually like a seven or eight year old child. If she says she doesn't like you, that means she hates you. She changes her attitude very quickly. If you make her unhappy with one sentence, she'll turn around and hate you. But that's not the main point. The main point is that whether it's Hu Ming or Hu Xiaorui's mother, or Hu Xiaorui's uncle and grandfather, they all spoil her a little too much. For people like us, it's fine if we suffer a little in the circle. At most, we'll just get back at them. But Hu Xiaorui is different. If she suffers a loss, her whole family will go up against her. You don't even know that her grandfather is the kind of person who will go up to you and give you a big slap in the face. Don't you think it's weird? "
Li Dong was a little dumbfounded. Hu Xiaorui's grandfather?
That means that person in the capital, because of a dispute between the younger generation, went up to someone else's house and gave her a slap in the face. This was indeed a strange thing in the world.
If that person was serious, he was a big shot at the deputy national level.
Li Dong had never heard of such a big shot coming up to someone's house to beat up his granddaughter because she was bullied.
Hsu Shengzhe slightly lowered his voice and said, "I'm not lying to you. It happened two years ago. You may not know the person who was beaten up, but you should know his father. He's the family of Minister Zhang of the Publicity Department. After that incident, Minister Zhang sent him to the army. It's been two years, and he hasn't come back even once. "
"And on my side, I used to have a good relationship with Hu Xiaorui. But because Hu Xiaorui once said that we'd go hunting together, I forgot about it. She's very vengeful. Since then, she has been calling me that … Fortunately, the person in her family is quite reasonable and didn't find trouble with me. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble. "
Li Dong had learned a lot tonight.
The world is really big, and there are all kinds of strange things.
After drinking a glass of beer, Li Dong smiled bitterly and said, "You told me to be careful. Don't tell me that because I didn't smash the car, their grandfather came over to give me a big slap in the face?"
"I don't think so. That person from the Zhangs deserved it. He was too bold and wanted to use force on Hu Xiaorui. That's why she came over to beat him up. If your situation was a little less serious, Hu Xiaorui might not take it to heart. At most, she'll give you a nickname to help you become famous. "
Hsu Shengzhe said with a smile, "Let me think. According to Hu Xiaorui's character, what nickname should she give you?"
"Big Hoodwinker Li?"
"Big Liar Li?"
"Or Big Bad Li?"
Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Why do I have to use the word 'big'?"
"Because this is Hu Xiaorui's habit. Using the word 'big' means that you're extremely bad. She won't play with you in the future."
Li Dong couldn't help laughing.
The two of them did not discuss Hu Xiaorui anymore. Just as Hsu Shengzhe said, it was just a nickname at most. If that was really the case, Li Dong would accept it.
Hu Xiaorui might really be a little mentally retarded. Otherwise, her family would not spoil her so much. As long as such a little girl was not evil, Li Dong would sympathize with her and would not bear a grudge just because of a nickname.
After chatting with Hsu Shengzhe about some interesting things in the circle, it was already past midnight.
Li Dong looked at the time and said, "Let's go. It's getting late."
"Alright, let's get together again when we have time."
Hsu Shengzhe burped and said with a smile, "I haven't had such a good chat in a long time. It's not easy to find someone to drink with now."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, as long as you don't have any ideas about my supermarket."
"Hahaha, alright. Just because of what you said, look for me in the future if there's any trouble. I can't handle big problems, but I can handle small ones. That's good, right? "
"That's good!"
Li Dong laughed, and the two of them parted at the entrance of the bar.
Hsu Shengzhe did not bring a driver or bodyguard. He got into the car, slightly drunk.
Li Dong tried to persuade him, but Hsu Shengzhe waved his hand. He did not reply and drove away.
Li Dong got into his car and said to Zhou Haidong, "Old Zhou, you've worked hard today."
Zhou Haidong smiled and said, "It's okay. Sitting in a luxury car is a pleasure. I can't wait to live in it every day and not go home."
"Don't. If it's really like this, sister-in-law will eat me up." Li Dong joked and opened the window to let in some fresh air.
Zhou Haidong was not in a hurry to drive. He waited for Li Dong to calm down and suddenly said, "General Manager Li, Old Tan is coming out."
Li Dong's eyes lit up and asked, "When?"
"At the end of the month. I chatted with a friend at the police station last time, and he said it."
"At the end of the month? That means it hasn't been a year yet?" Li Dong said with a slight joy, "Pay attention to it. Remember to remind me when he comes out. I'll pick him up."
"Forget it. After all, he just came out. Why don't I ask him to come see you when he comes out?"
"No, I'll pick him up!"
Li Dong's tone was firm. This time, it was not to buy people's hearts. The current Zhou Haidong did not need to be bought by him.
The key was that Li Dong always felt a little indebted to Tan Yong.
Yes, he gave Tan Yong money and a house, but the lost freedom could not be expressed with money.
Tan Yong was forced by money at the beginning. Li Dong used money to tempt him. It was not right. An elite soldier, but in the end, he lowered his head for money. In the end, he was sent to prison. It could be said that it was a lifetime of shame.
Although it was not a long time, this kind of criminal record could not be washed away in a lifetime.
Now that Tan Yong was out, Li Dong was also happy. It was not a big deal to pick him up.
Zhou Haidong listened to Li Dong and did not persuade him anymore. After all, Tan Yong was also a good man. It would be good if Tan Yong could be loyal.
Compared to others, although Tan Yong and Li Dong had not been in contact for a long time, they should have more trust.
Tan Yong helped Li Dong with his dirty business. Li Dong gave him money and a house. He also contributed money and effort to reduce his sentence. In the end, he was released in less than a year.
In a year, although Tan Yong lost his freedom, he also got a lot of things. He did not hate Li Dong. After all, it was consensual at the beginning.
Now that Tan Yong was out, although he had money, it was difficult for people like him to find a job with a criminal record.
Li Dong was Tan Yong's only support. Zhou Haidong believed that Tan Yong would choose.
As Li Dong gradually emerged, Zhou Haidong was now a little powerless. He was also a human, and it was impossible for him to follow Li Dong 24 hours a day.
As for Zheng Long and Cao Hongbing, Cao Hongbing was now very interested in training new people. Zhou Haidong did not want to transfer him.
Zheng Long was even worse. This guy was a little utilitarian. Zhou Haidong was actually not very assured of him.
If he could let Tan Yong change shifts with him, it would be much easier for him. Li Dong's safety would also be guaranteed.
Tan Yong's skills were not for show. Otherwise, Li Dong would not have looked for him in the first place. Moreover, Tan Yong was also very detailed. Zhu Hongtao had been turned into a vegetable because he hit a stone, but how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Tan Yong used the smallest price to deal with Zhu Hongtao. This made Zhou Haidong very optimistic.
The reason why he specially reminded Li Dong was because Zhou Haidong had his own thoughts. Otherwise, there was no need to tell this kind of thing to Li Dong.
Li Dong did not know what Zhou Haidong was thinking, but he was also thinking about how to arrange for Tan Yong.
Back then, he had promised Tan Yong that when he came out, Far away would welcome him at any time.
Now it was up to Tan Yong to decide. If he was willing, Li Dong was still willing to give him a middle or high-level position.
