Li Dong was still hiding in the villa, not daring to meet anyone. However, he had no idea that his great image had long been spread around.
After breakfast, Li Dong put on his sunglasses and was about to go out for a walk when his phone rang.
As soon as the call was connected, Hu Xiaorui's impatient voice came from the other end, "Where are you, Li Dong?"
Li Dong quickly asked when he heard her anxious tone, "What's wrong?"
"Where are you now?"
Li Dong thought it was something serious, so he immediately said, "I'm in Bilan Mountain Villa, Chen Rui's villa. What happened …"
The call was hung up before he could finish asking.
Li Dong frowned. What happened to Hu Xiaorui?
Just when he was deep in thought, the phone rang again.
Li Dong glanced at it and picked up the call, "Yuhan, what's up?"
"Where are you?"
Li Dong felt that the words sounded familiar. He thought about it carefully and realized that Hu Xiaorui had asked the same question just now.
Before he could think, Li Dong said, "I'm in Bilan Mountain Villa …"
"Beep, beep, beep …"
The call was hung up again.
Li Dong was speechless. He was about to call back to ask what happened, but his phone rang for the third time.
Li Dong stared at the number and frowned. He picked up the call and said, "Don't ask me where I am. I'm asking you, is there anything? If there's nothing, hang up. If there's something, just say it. "
There was a pause on the other side of the phone. Then, Hu Wanlin said with a smile, "General Manager Li, what's wrong? You're quite angry. Do you want me to help you vent your anger? "
"What do you mean?"
Hu Wanlin said with a smile, "Yo, General Manager Li, you're still hiding it from me. The newspaper has been reprinted several times. You've saved a newspaper company after being beaten up this time. They'll have to send you a banner later. But I also took credit for it. Director Li, I cut out your handsome photo and saved it. "
Li Dong's heart skipped a beat as he slowly asked, "What picture?"
"No way, you really don't know? Your charming panda eyes … "
"Pa!"
Li Dong hung up the phone and said angrily, "F * ck! Who did it? "
"Old Zhou! Old Zhou! Are you there? "
When Zhou Haidong heard the noise, he rushed in from outside. Seeing that Li Dong was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "General Manager Li, what's wrong?"
"Go out and buy a copy of all the newspapers, especially the one with my photo. I want to see who dares to defame me!"
As soon as Hu Wanlin said this, Li Dong knew that he had lost a lot of face this time.
Yesterday's photo must have been taken by someone, and it must have been published in the newspaper. Thinking of this, Li Dong wanted to die.
Shameful, too shameful!
When he thought of Hu Wanlin and the other people with ulterior motives saving the photo of him with panda eyes, Li Dong wanted to cry but had no tears. Could he still have fun?
…
Zhou Haidong quickly returned after buying the newspapers.
However, Li Dong looked through all the newspapers and could not find the one with his photo.
Zhou Haidong saw him looking around and whispered, "General Manager Li, the newspaper stand said that the newspaper with your photo was sold out early in the morning. They are now waiting for a new print run."
"F * ck!"
Li Dong cursed. He took a breath and said, "Forget it. I've already lost face. It's even more shameful to buy it back. It's better not to look at it."
Zhou Haidong said, "General Manager Li, should we ask the legal department to send a lawyer's letter to the newspaper?"
"Isn't it shameful enough? Let's leave it at that. "
Li Dong was helpless. It was best not to ask about this. The more you make a fuss, the happier they will be.
These tabloids loved it when the victims came looking for trouble. The more they make a fuss, the happier they will be. At most, they will apologize. At worst, they will just close down the newspaper.
But if the newspaper closes down, the tabloids can start anew and use their previous fame to become even more popular.
Li Dong did not want to make a fuss over such a small matter. It was not worth it.
Li Dong did not continue to pester that newspaper. He looked at the other newspaper reports about Far away and Dong Yu.
Luckily, most of the reports were positive.
Even the real estate industry, which was scolded the most, was not criticized by anyone. Instead, everyone was looking forward to it. They wanted to see if Dong Yu's strong entry into the real estate industry would bring about any changes to the increasing property prices.
Li Dong looked at it and shook his head.
These people had overestimated themselves. The rising property prices were not something that Li Dong and a new company could resist. Li Dong did not have the ability to change these things.
Now that he was short of money, it was good enough that he did not purposely inflate property prices. These people were bound to be disappointed if they relied on him.
If he was poor, he would take care of himself. If he was rich, he would help the world.
Li Dong was still a poor man. Rumors said that his net worth was over 10 billion, but he knew the exact situation.
Not to mention 10 billion, his net worth was not even half of that.
If he invested less than 5 billion into the real estate industry, it would not even make a ripple. Everyone was thinking too much.
Just as Li Dong was deep in thought, he heard Hu Xiaorui shouting outside the door.
"Li Dong! Open the door. I'm here to see you. "
"Li Dong, are you there? Come out. You were just beaten up. Let's get back at you. What's there to be embarrassed about? "
"Li Dong, open the door! I'm here to avenge you. Don't hide. I can see you. "
"…"
In the room, Li Dong's face was full of black lines. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said to Zhou Haidong, "Bring her in!"
Zhou Haidong held back his laughter and hurried out of the living room. After a while, Hu Xiaorui rushed in.
When she saw Li Dong, Hu Xiaorui did nothing but took out a newspaper from behind her. She looked at the newspaper and then looked at Li Dong. After a while, Hu Xiaorui said, "Li Dong, have you changed your clothes?"
Li Dong snorted and ignored her. He got up and took the newspaper from her.
Looking at the photo in the newspaper, Li Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me know who took this. I'll kill him!"
"Yes! Kill him! "
Hu Xiaorui added and then said with a sneaky smile, "Li Dong, I heard that you were beaten by a few foreigners yesterday? Why don't we work together to beat them up? "
"Hu Xiaorui, are you a woman or not? Why do you talk like a bandit? What do you mean by beat them up? "
Hu Xiaorui pouted and said unhappily, "Who's a bandit? I'm going to avenge you. You're my buddy. You were beaten up. Of course, I have to help you take revenge. "
"Thank you, old man! But there's no need for that. I've already taken revenge. Don't look at my black eyes. I accidentally hit them. They're the ones who are miserable. At least half of their bones were broken by me. The newspaper just took it out of context. Do you think that I, Li Dong, can't beat others? "
"Tsk!"
Hu Xiaorui snorted and didn't continue to talk about this matter.
After walking around the villa, Hu Xiaorui said enviously, "This is great. Li Dong, are you living here alone?"
"Yes."
"Sigh, I should've bought it if I knew this would happen. My dad has been so annoying lately. He's always controlling me. I'm thinking of running away from home. Li Dong, why don't I move in with you? "
"Pfft!"
Li Dong was drinking his tea. When Hu Xiaorui was done speaking, Li Dong spat it out.
After coughing for a while, Li Dong said angrily, "Hu Xiaorui, can you be more shameless? Who are you to me? You're just a young lady. How dare you move in with a man like me? Do you think I don't have the guts to? I'm afraid that your whole family will come and slap me. "
Hu Xiaorui mumbled. Just when she was about to speak, someone outside the door suddenly said, "Who dares to slap you?"
Li Dong stood up as soon as he heard that, "Why are you here, Yuhan?"
Qin Yuhan followed Zhou Haidong into the house. Without saying anything, she walked to Li Dong and touched his slightly swollen eyes. After a while, she said with teary eyes, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "It's not a big deal. Why would I let you guys worry about it?"
Subsequently, Li Dong said, "Alright, stop crying. You're not like you at all, Qin Yuhan. This is just a small injury. Don't I always have bruises when I was in school? You were the one who made fun of me in junior high. Why are you so emotional now? "
Qin Yuhan said angrily, "Who's making fun of you? Moreover, you were my enemy back then, but you're my boyfriend now. Of course, I have to care about you. "
As the two of them were talking, Hu Xiaorui, who was ignored by the two of them, interrupted, "Hey, Li Dong, aren't you going to introduce me?"
Li Dong glanced at her and said to Qin Yuhan, "This is Hu Xiaorui. She's a rich second-generation heir. She has nothing to do all day, so she specializes in doing bad things. Ignore her. Otherwise, she'll lead you astray. "
After saying that, Li Dong seemed to have thought of something. He added, "Oh yeah, this fella likes to give people nicknames. Don't follow her lead."
"Hey! Li Dong, aren't you crossing the line?! "
Hu Xiaorui glared at him in dissatisfaction. She then said to Qin Yuhan with a smile, "Don't listen to Li Dong's nonsense. I, Hu Xiaorui, am the nicest person and the most loyal. Everyone in Pingchuan knows me, Hu Xiaorui. Sister, are you Li Dong's girlfriend? "
Li Dong interrupted her, "Who are you calling sister? Who's older and who's younger? Don't call me old."
Hu Xiaorui said in dissatisfaction, "Why do you care? I'm happy to call her sister."
Li Dong was speechless. On the other hand, Qin Yuhan's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "Hello, sister Xiaorui. My name is Qin Yuhan …"
Li Dong saw that the two of them were chatting with each other, so he didn't say anything.
Coincidentally, Zhou Haidong signaled Li Dong to leave the living room and went to the courtyard.
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, Zhou Haidong said in a low voice, "General Manager Li, we found out the identity of those people yesterday."
"Tell me."
"Among the four people yesterday, other than the young man, the other three people are from Shu Du city …"
"The bald guy is called Wang Pengfei, the one with glasses is called Chen Hongming, and the woman is called Xia Ran. These people are all very influential businessmen in Shu Du city …"
After Zhou Haidong finished talking, Li Dong frowned and said, "From Shu Du city? To discuss business? "
"Yes, and we can also build a relationship with them."
"Wang Pengfei and Chen Hongming are both in the real estate business, and Xia Ran is in the jewelry business, so our business has a certain overlap. I heard that this time they came to Jiangbei to expand their business. So they came here to find a way to do business. "
"What a coincidence …"
Li Dong murmured. Seeing Zhou Haidong was looking at him, he waved his hand and said, "That's it for now. Maybe we will have to deal with them later. I need more information."
"Okay." Zhou Haidong replied.
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to Shu Du city to investigate. There are a lot of scammers these days. Who knows what kind of people they are."
Zhou Haidong was a little confused, "General Manager Li, this …"
"Just do it, don't ask anything else."
Zhou Haidong nodded his head and didn't ask any more questions.
Li Dong did not continue to speak. Instead, he frowned and pondered. This was too much of a coincidence. Could it be that even the heavens wanted to remind him that he had to do something good for the country and the people?
However, he had beaten up those guys yesterday, and now they were eagerly coming over to discuss cooperation. This was too degrading, and it would also make people suspicious.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Dong thought to himself, 'Didn't these guys come to Jiangbei to find a way to do business? If they are really businessmen, yesterday's fight is nothing.'
In Jiangbei, Li Dong didn't dare to say that Dongyu was a big shot, but when it came to finding a way to cooperate with a jewelry business, he could really get involved.
Maybe those people would come to him later, so he didn't need to go to them.
