After the few of them left the office, Li Dong stretched his body.
He had been thinking about this matter for most of the night and finally decided to acquire Era as soon as possible.
There were too many variables in a year's time, and Li Dong could not wait any longer.
Although there was still a large gap in funds, Li Dong still decided to take a gamble. Once he could acquire Time, Distance would have a much wider path. Money was easy to talk about. He would earn it back sooner or later.
He was waiting for the money from Longhua to arrive in his account. Once the money was in his account, he could take advantage of the bull market in 2006 to invest in some stocks that he still had an impression of. It would not be difficult to make a fortune.
Li Dong stretched his body, and Liu Qi pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing that Li Dong was not in a hurry, Liu Qi said, "General Manager Li, there is something I forgot to tell you. Chairman Xu sent someone to deliver a new car two days ago. It is parked in the underground garage. You have not seen it. Do you want to take a look when you are free? "
If Liu Qi did not mention this, Li Dong would have almost forgotten about it.
There were too many things to do these few days. There was Feng Jingsong, Liu Haoming, and he had to attend the school anniversary. Li Dong almost did not stay in the company.
Now that Liu Qi mentioned it, Li Dong remembered that Hsu Shengzhe had mentioned it to him.
Since he was free now, Li Dong nodded and said, "Then let's go and have a look."
…
Underground garage.
Tan Yong opened the hood of the car, and Li Dong looked at the new car that reflected the light. After a while, he said, "This is a Bentley?"
Li Dong didn't know much about luxury cars, but he could recognize the logo of a typical luxury car.
Looking at the big "B", Li Dong knew that he was not mistaken.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong asked Tan Yong, "How much is this car?"
Tan Yong was confused, and after a while, he shook his head innocently.
He was different from Zhou Haidong. Zhou Haidong mainly drove for Li Dong, so he often read some news and magazines related to cars and had a better understanding of cars.
However, Tan Yong was different. He positioned himself as Li Dong's personal bodyguard. Driving was only his secondary job. As long as he could drive, it was fine. He really did not know much about the price of a car.
Tan Yong didn't know, but that didn't mean no one knew.
At this time, Liu Qi also walked in from outside. Seeing Li Dong staring at the car, she explained, "General Manager Li, this is the latest Bentley Continental GT. President Xu didn't say the exact price, but judging from last year's Shanghai auto show, this car should be worth at least five million."
Li Dong shook his head and chuckled, "This guy!"
He was naturally referring to Hsu Shengzhe. Hsu Shengzhe said that he had ordered a car. It was not expensive, about two to three million.
But now, it was a Bentley, and it was worth more than five million. That guy must have sent it over with a different car.
Hsu Shengzhe did not let himself suffer a loss, and from this, it could be seen that Hsu Shengzhe was a cautious and meticulous person.
The difference of two to three million was nothing to Li Dong, but Hsu Shengzhe did not take advantage of it. He was indeed the son of a wealthy family.
Li Dong stared at the car for a while. The new silver-gray car looked very stylish. Compared to his Maybach, this Bentley looked more delicate.
Maybach was usually used for work, but this car was quite suitable for personal use.
Li Dong thought for a while and said to Tan Yong, "Leave it here first. When the renovations at Jinhu Garden are done, send it to the garage there."
He also had personal matters, and it was impossible for him to let someone drive with him every time. His Maybach was too conspicuous, and many people in Pingchuan knew that it was his.
Now that this Bentley had come at the right time, other than Hsu Shengzhe, not many people had seen it before. He would drive it out next time. It would not be beneath his status, and he could feel more at ease.
After looking at the car, Li Dong did not stay in the underground garage for long.
He wanted to try it out, but there were too many people, and it was not appropriate to drive it out. He would think about it when he was free.
…
After leaving the garage, Li Dong was about to return to the company when his cell phone rang.
Picking up the phone and glancing at it, Li Dong picked up the call and said, "Why did you call me today? It's still midnight over there, right? "
"What do you mean by midnight? The sky is bright, and it's time for lunch."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Bullsh * t …"
As he said that, Li Dong seemed to come to a realization and quickly said, "You are back in China?"
"What do you think? How stupid! I'm at Pingchuan Airport. Are you in Pingchuan now? "Yuan Xue asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.
Li Dong looked at the time. It was past eleven o 'clock, and he immediately said, "Then wait for me at the airport. I will pick you up."
"There's no need. It's a waste of time for you to come and go. Where are you now? I will look for you."
"I will drive very quickly …"
"Drive? When did you learn to drive? "Yuan Xue said with some surprise.
Li Dong was instantly stumped. Only then did he realize that Yuan Xue did not know his current situation.
This matter could not be explained in a few words. Li Dong scratched his head and said a little awkwardly, "Anyway, I know how to drive. It's better if I go and pick you up."
Yuan Xue did not think much of it. She smiled and said, "Okay, then I will wait for you here."
After hanging up the phone, Li Dong exhaled. He scratched his head and did not know what to do.
Looking at the two luxury cars in the garage, Li Dong thought about it and did not drive these two cars to pick her up. Instead, he drove the Audi A4 that he usually drove out.
Tan Yong was about to get in the car when Li Dong waved his hand and said, "I will drive myself. You don't have to go."
Tan Yong hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, let me go with you. It's too dangerous."
This danger was not limited to external dangers, but also the danger of Li Dong himself.
Last time, Li Dong collided with someone while driving and ended up in the hospital. Although Tan Yong did not come out when this happened, Cao Hongbing and the others had specifically reminded Tan Yong.
Zhou Haidong had repeatedly reminded him not to let General Manager Li drive himself unless it was absolutely necessary.
After not driving for a long time, Li Dong was now very rusty. Everyone was afraid that he would get into an accident.
They could still prevent external dangers, but if he got into an accident while driving, they would not be able to prevent it even if they wanted to.
However, Li Dong was going to pick up Yuan Xue. How could he bring Tan Yong along? He waved his hand and said, "I can do it myself. Don't worry about it. Go and do what you need to do."
Tan Yong was helpless and could only watch as Li Dong's car slowly drove away.
After thinking about it, Tan Yong was still not at ease. He got into a van and waved to the driver. The van quickly chased after Li Dong's car.
…
Pingchuan Airport.
Yuan Xue was bored to death as she looked around. She had not been back for more than half a year and felt that the country had changed a lot.
Even looking at the billboards, Yuan Xue felt much more comfortable.
Because the words here were all Chinese, there was no sense of strangeness or unfamiliarity.
Yuan Xue sighed softly and murmured, "It's still better to be back in China."
Even though she was surrounded by strangers, Yuan Xue's black hair and yellow skin still made her feel good. Abroad, other than a few international students, Yuan Xue almost never saw any Asian people.
Because Li Dong had not arrived, Yuan Xue was not in a hurry to leave.
After looking around, Yuan Xue suddenly saw a familiar billboard — Faraway Supermarket.
Yuan Xue frowned slightly. After thinking about it, she remembered that there was also a Faraway Supermarket in Dongping, but she did not know if it was the same one.
She did not think too much about it and looked away after taking a glance.
Just then, two young girls passed by. One of them, who had a tender face, suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, Distance Supermarket's advertisement is actually here. Senior, you're really amazing!"
The other girl said disapprovingly, "That's nothing. I heard that Faraway Supermarket was going to advertise on the plane at first. I don't know what happened but they did not come to an agreement. Otherwise, we would be able to see Faraway's sign on the plane."
"Senior is really amazing. I went to the school anniversary yesterday. Senior Li Dong said it so well. Wanwan, how great would it be if Senior Li Dong didn't have a girlfriend … "
"Stop dreaming! Even if Li Dong didn't have a girlfriend, he wouldn't be interested in you. "
"Hmph! That's not necessarily true! "
"…"
The two of them talked as they walked and did not pay attention to Yuan Xue who was beside them.
If Li Dong was here, he would definitely be able to tell that these two girls were students of Jiangzhou University. Moreover, they were year one students.
However, Yuan Xue did not know that. She did not pay attention to them at first. However, when she heard Li Dong's name, Yuan Xue slightly paid attention.
Paying attention was one thing. Yuan Xue did not have any special thoughts. She only felt that Li Dong's name was too common. Later, she would have to make fun of Li Dong. This guy's name was so common that it could be heard on the streets.
As she was thinking about it, Li Dong had already rushed over.
Li Dong looked at Yuan Xue and felt a little awkward. He had not seen Yuan Xue for a while. Li Dong did not know what to do when he suddenly saw Yuan Xue.
In the end, it was Yuan Xue who said, "What are you standing there for? Don't you know how to help me carry my luggage?"
Li Dong quickly took the luggage from her hand and let out a breath. Only then did he relax and said, "You're on vacation?"
"Yes, it's a long vacation. I don't go back to school until the end of August."
Li Dong scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "Summer vacation in America is quite long."
Yuan Xue did not reply. As she walked, she said, "You said you drove here? When did you learn to drive? "
"When I just started university."
"Then where did you get the car? Who did you borrow it from? You're a newbie. Don't damage someone else's car. Also, next time, don't do this kind of thing. What's wrong with taking the bus? If you can't do it, you can just hit them. It's not embarrassing at all. There are no outsiders around. Why do you owe them a favor? "
Li Dong did not know whether to laugh or cry. You've already said everything. What else can I say?
Li Dong did not continue talking about the car. He changed the topic and said, "How long are you staying in Pingchuan? When are you going back to Dongping?"
"There's no rush. There are still a few classmates in Pingchuan who want to meet up. Oh right, come with me when we get back. I feel like you're not familiar with your high school classmates. I mentioned you in the group once, and no one said anything. Also, have you been on QQ recently? I haven't seen you online. "
Li Dong did not know how to answer. Could he say that it was not that he was not familiar with others, but that they were automatically alienated from him?
This matter was hard to explain. The difference in status made those high school classmates avoid Li Dong.
Those who did not know about Li Dong's current situation were fine. Those who knew about his situation were generally not willing to mention Li Dong.
Everyone had their own pride. The gap between them and Li Dong was too big. They were too embarrassed to speak up.
Of course, it was not that the high school group did not mention Li Dong. It was just that when Li Dong was mentioned, Yuan Xue was usually not online. She also did not have the habit of looking through the chat history. Therefore, among the high school students, probably only Yuan Xue and a few of the less informed classmates did not know about Li Dong's current situation.
The two chatted as they walked. Li Dong felt that the current Yuan Xue had changed a lot.
The most obvious change was that she was much more talkative than before. He did not know if it was because she was stifled overseas, or because she became talkative when she saw Li Dong.
