March 29th.
Eight o 'clock in the morning.
Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe had agreed to meet at the entrance of the Global Building.
At half past eight, Xu Shengzhe hurriedly climbed into Li Dong's car with a small backpack, as if he was fleeing from a famine.
Li Dong joked, "What's wrong? Mother-in-law is chasing after you? "
Hsu Shengzhe sighed. "Don't mention it. I don't know what happened to my old man, but he insisted that Boss accompany me. I'm so annoyed."
Li Dong was surprised. "I thought your brother doesn't care about these things?"
"Who knows? Looking at his reluctance, it's probably the old man who forced him."
Li Dong thought for a while and said, "Does your old man know what we are going to do?"
After all, Hsu Shengzhe had mobilized 50 million yuan. Although the money was his own, did their old man really not know about it?
Hsu Shengzhe said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if he knows or not. It's the same thing. My old man is old now. Even if he knows, he won't dare to take the risk. "
This was an adventure to begin with.
If the new city was not located in Anyuan, they would have suffered a great loss this time. The Xu family's old man was old and no longer had the drive he had when he was young.
Moreover, Longhua was not short of money now. They could still make money by buying land and building houses through legal channels. They were now taking the safe route. Winning by surprise was not suitable for a big company like Longhua.
Li Dong nodded and did not say anything.
However, seeing that he only had a backpack, Li Dong still laughed and said, "So you're even saving on gas?"
"Look at you stingy. I'll pay you the fare later! When I came out, Boss was squatting next to my car. I was too lazy to argue with him, so I took a taxi here. "
"Hearing you say that, it feels like the three of you are fighting. Don't you find it annoying?"
Hsu Shengzhe said disdainfully, "You're talking like you're an outsider. When you have a few more children, you'll know how annoying it is."
Li Dong scoffed, "I'll give birth to one when I get back. Let's see who he can snatch it from."
"Hehe!"
"What? From your tone, you don't believe me?"
Hsu Shengzhe waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It's too early for a single man like you to talk about children. I can't be bothered to talk about this with you. Let's go, otherwise lunch will be over by the time we get there. "
"Wait a little longer. Liu Qi has gone up to get something."
"Liu Qi is going too?"
Li Dong said disdainfully, "Nonsense, it's just the three of us. If we go, won't they think we're swindlers? Besides, is it proper for a big boss like me to go out without an assistant?"
Hsu Shengzhe mumbled, "If I knew this, I would have brought Yue Qin along."
"Screw you. I'm bringing Liu Qi for work. You two can flaunt your love on your own."
The two of them joked for a while, and Liu Qi carried the folder and got into the car.
Li Dong watched her get into the car, and then said to Zhou Haidong, "Old Zhou, let's go."
Zhou Haidong started the car, and Hsu Shengzhe stared at Liu Qi for a while. He winked at Li Dong and said, "Well, I didn't understand it just now, but now I understand. You have an ulterior motive."
Li Dong couldn't be bothered with him. He adjusted his sitting position and angle, leaned back on the seat, and said, "Don't disturb me. I didn't sleep well last night."
"Speaking of last night, I remember. You're really something! Hu Xiaorui is going crazy, and you're going crazy with her? You don't know this, but the news spread in the morning. I was still sleeping, and someone called me, saying that you and Hu Xiaorui went to the Yao Family and smashed their house. Are you addicted to smashing now? "
Li Dong said lazily, "Don't blame everything on me. Hu Xiaorui wanted to go, and I can't stop her."
"Hmph! Anyway, I don't think it's that simple. Hu Xiaorui is good at talking. If you didn't instigate her, I don't believe she would dare to do it. "
The corners of Li Dong's mouth curled up slightly. Xu Shengzhe was indeed very shrewd.
But the two of them didn't talk about this matter. Hsu Shengzhe can't be bothered because it's none of his business, and Li Dong is happy because he took advantage of Yao Na.
If he really took advantage of Yao Na, Yao Hong would fight him to the death.
The rest of the journey was silent. Li Dong and Yao Hong closed their eyes to rest.
…
Around noon, Li Dong's car arrived at Su 'an City.
Not long after the flood subsided, through the car window, you can see the obvious traces of the flood.
Su 'an's old city was originally very old and dilapidated. After the flood, the whole city looks more desolate.
The pedestrians on the road are listless, and no one cleans up the rubbish on the ground. Li Dong's first impression is that it's dirty and messy.
Hsu Shengzhe also woke up at this moment. He opened the car window and looked around, shaking his head, and said, "An old city with no development prospects. Jia Wenhao's decision is right. Even if a new city is built next to such a city, the old city will be the portrayal of the old city in ten years."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Are you so sure that Governor Jia will choose Anyuan to develop the new city?"
Hsu Shengzhe snorted and said, "As long as Jia Wenhao has some courage, he will definitely choose Anyuan. I know Jia Wenhao, this guy will definitely not be willing to be mediocre."
Li Dong did not refute, because Jia Wenhao is indeed not a person who is willing to be mediocre.
If he did not have some courage, he would not have reached this step at the age of forty.
The two did not discuss Jia Wenhao anymore, but talked about the itinerary for the next few days.
Hsu Shengzhe said, "Today we will rest for a day. Tomorrow, people from Su 'an's government should come. In the morning, we will go to see the post-disaster reconstruction work, and in the afternoon, we will go to see that young artist who has tens of millions of paintings. The day after tomorrow, we will leave for Anyuan, do some field research, and then pick a few pieces of land. That will be the end of it. "
Li Dong said, "What excuse will we use to go to Anyuan?"
Hsu Shengzhe did not think much of it and said, "Anything, whether it is a tour, sightseeing, or market research. Anyway, no one will ask in detail. If we don't do it ourselves, we will find someone to do it for us. No one will know that we are here to take the land. "
Although Li Dong felt that it was a little inappropriate, he did not say anything more.
After all, time is indeed tight, and Jia Wenhao will not deliberately slow down the development of the new city for them. This matter will not take long to be exposed.
While others are still unaware, they should hurry up and take as much land as they can first.
By the time others react, the news will have already spread. At that time, it does not matter if it is leaked or not.
While the two were talking, Zhou Haidong had already parked the car in front of a hotel.
When the greeter at the door saw Li Dong's car, his eyes immediately lit up, and his "Welcome" voice became much louder.
Zhou Haidong did not ask the hotel staff to help him park the car. He drove to the parking lot himself, and Liu Qi went in to handle the check-in procedures.
Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe stood in the lobby and chatted. After a while, Zhou Haidong parked the car and came back.
But Liu Qi's side of the conversation was a little unpleasant. After a while, Li Dong and the others heard Liu Qi arguing.
Li Dong walked over and saw Liu Qi's angry face. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Qi said angrily, "General Manager Li, before I came, I booked two suites and one standard room, but now they told me that there is only one suite and one standard room left. There is one room missing."
As soon as Liu Qi finished speaking, a young woman standing next to her smiled and said, "Sir, Madam, I am the lobby manager, Chen Huina. I'm really sorry about this. When Madam Liu called to book a room, the receptionist girl at the front desk made a mistake. At that time, there was only one suite left … "
Chen Huina explained for a while and finally said, "If you need it, I can arrange a standard room for you for free as compensation for our mistakes."
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this first."
Turning to look at Hsu Shengzhe, Li Dong said, "What do you say?"
Hsu Shengzhe said indifferently, "Just get another single room. I'm not picky."
Li Dong nodded and said to Liu Qi, "Let's arrange it this way. It's getting late. The sooner we finish, the earlier we can eat."
They could not stay in Su 'an for long. Li Dong could not be bothered with this matter. Changing to another hotel might take up more time.
Hearing Li Dong say this, although Liu Qi was unhappy, she still completed the procedures according to Li Dong's instructions.
After Liu Qi completed the procedures, the lobby manager said with a smile, "Dear guests, I'll take you to your rooms."
Liu Qi snorted and said, "No need. We can go ourselves!"
Saying that, she did not give her a good look. She took the room card and turned to leave.
After she walked for a while, Hsu Shengzhe chuckled and said, "Your assistant is quite tasty. Her figure is not bad. Have you tasted her?"
Li Dong glanced at him and said with disdain, "Don't use your behavior to judge me. Am I that kind of person?"
Hsu Shengzhe laughed and said as he walked, "Fine. You're a gentleman. I'm a wretched one. I'll wait for you to slap your own face later. I'll keep my eyes on you tonight! "
"Keep your eyes on me. Just don't be a coward tomorrow."
As the two chatted and laughed, they had already entered the elevator. Liu Qi was about to close the door when a few people suddenly rushed in.
Li Dong glanced at them. There were two men and two women. They were not too old. They should not be more than thirty years old.
The elevator was not big to begin with. It was a little crowded with eight people. Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe took a step back to make space in front.
The two men and two women waited for the elevator door to close before they began to chat.
One of the women with blonde perm complained to a man with a flattop next to her, "Wang Ming, didn't you say that you booked two suites? There's only one now. How can the four of us live in it? "
The flattop man glanced at her and said with a slight frown, "It's already been booked. I had someone squeeze out this room. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a room at all."
Another young woman with black hair also advised softly, "Forget it. It's only for a day or two. Just make do with it."
The blonde woman curled her lips and said unhappily, "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come here. I used to live in a presidential suite when I went out!"
The woman's three companions frowned and didn't say anything.
Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe also didn't say anything. However, Liu Qi's face was full of anger. Obviously, she had learned something from their conversation just now.
