Wang Pengfei was a businessman through and through.
Everything was based on profit. As for face, how much was that worth?
When Wang Ming and Chen Hongming went back and told them what had happened, Wang Pengfei didn't hesitate to tell his secretary to publish an apology in the newspaper!
Didn't Li Dong want face?
Didn't Shen Qian want face?
Fine, I'll give them face!
If one newspaper wasn't enough, I'll publish two. If two isn't enough, I'll publish three …
In one breath, Wang Pengfei published an apology in seven or eight newspapers. In the blink of an eye, Wang Pengfei's name became famous.
Publishing an apology in the newspaper wasn't a rare thing. What was rare was that they had finally found the culprit!
When the photos of Li Dong being beaten were published in the newspapers, everyone was curious about who had the ability to beat up the little tyrant, Li Dong.
Now, the guy who beat him up finally showed up.
As for the scolding and disdain that Wang Pengfei had expected, there was almost none!
Almost all the public opinion was in favor of Wang Pengfei. This guy was a man. Even Li Dong had been beaten up by him. He was really capable!
When Wang Pengfei heard his subordinate report to him in the hospital, he wasn't happy. Instead, he wanted to vomit blood.
He really couldn't be blamed for this. He really wanted to resolve the grudge, but who knew why this guy, Li Dong, was hated so much?
In fact, it wasn't Li Dong who was hated. Most people were just onlookers.
If Li Dong always beat up others, there was nothing to see. Now that Li Dong had been beaten up, that was interesting. That was news.
…
Wang Pengfei wanted to vomit blood, and so did Li Dong.
Hearing Chen Ke carefully reporting the rumors outside to him, Li Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Am I so unpopular?"
Next to him, Shen Qian looked like a daughter-in-law who had done something wrong. She said with an aggrieved expression, "I didn't know it would be like this. Li Dong, should I …"
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I've already said that there's no need to pursue this matter. Naturally, no one cared about it anymore. Now, everyone's interest has been piqued. Let's not cause any more trouble this time. Let's wait until the limelight has passed. "
Shen Qian nodded.
Li Dong saw that she was not in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "Don't think about it. Face is earned by yourself. We didn't suffer any losses this time. Instead, we gained quite a bit. Since Wang Pengfei and the others were willing to take over for 3.2 billion, Wang Pengfei would give it to them. He had earned 150 million just by talking. So what if I took a punch? If I knew that a punch was so valuable, I would have been beaten up every day. When I was in middle school and high school, I was beaten up at least a dozen times. I remember one time, I was beaten black and blue, and in the end, the other party only paid me ten eggs. "
"Puchi!"
Shen Qian and Chen Ke couldn't help laughing.
Shen Qian laughed and said, "Didn't you say that you've never suffered a loss before? How did it become more than a dozen times? "
Li Dong coughed dryly. It would damage his great image if there was a loophole in his bragging.
Seeing Shen Qian staring at him, Li Dong said embarrassedly, "There's no such thing as an invincible general. I fought at least 80 times in middle school and high school. Isn't it normal to suffer a few losses?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at him and didn't expose him again.
Then she turned to ask Chen Ke, "Have you booked the tickets?"
Chen Ke quickly said, "Yes. The tickets are for the afternoon of the 7th. Three first-class tickets and six economy tickets."
As soon as Chen Ke finished speaking, Li Dong said in surprise, "Nine tickets? Why are there so many people? "
Chen Ke glanced at Shen Qian. Shen Qian chuckled and said, "Old Zhou and the others already have four people. With the three of you, there will be seven people. I've arranged an interpreter for you, and Chen Ke has to go too. That makes nine people. "
"Chen Ke is going too?"
Li Dong said in surprise, "Chen Ke should stay in the company to help you. You'll be the only one in the company when I'm gone. You'll be too busy. With Chen Ke's help, you can relax a little."
"No need. I'll be more at ease if someone follows you and takes care of you when you go abroad. I can count on Qin Yuhan and Hu Xiaorui. It's good enough that they can take care of themselves. Chen Ke has been with you for a while and knows your habits. Not only me, but the whole company will also be relieved if she goes with you. Li Dong, remember, you're not alone now. Far away, there are more than 6,000 employees in the company. They all regard you as their helmsman. Your safety doesn't just represent yourself, but more than 6,000 families. Do you understand what I mean? "
Li Dong said with a wry smile, "I'm under a lot of pressure from what you said. I'm just going out for a walk and will be back in a few days. You've made such a big scene. Those who don't know might think that I'm going abroad to fight. There's no need for Old Zhou and the other three to go. One of them has to stay in the security department. "
"No, all four of them will go. Foreign countries are different from domestic ones. Be careful."
Li Dong nodded, then shook his head and said, "Well, I'd better go early and come back early. I don't want you to talk about me all the time."
Shen Qian said softly, "Then go early and come back early. It's the first time you've gone so far in more than a year. I'm really worried …"
Li Dong glanced at her and saw that her eyes were red. He was also a little shocked.
He waved his hand and sent away the surprised Chen Ke.
Li Dong hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and gently hugged her.
Shen Qian didn't say anything. She rested her head on Li Dong's shoulder and murmured, "Be careful when you go out. I'll wait for you in the company. No one can touch it while I'm there."
"I know."
"It's good that you know. If you don't come back, I'll sell the company and go on my own."
"I won't. I'll be back in three to five days at most. I'll be back in ten days at most."
"Okay."
After that, the two of them didn't say anything. They just leaned against each other and looked out of the window.
…
On the morning of the 6th, Li Dong and Wang Pengfei's group completed the handover.
They didn't sign any agreement. There was nothing to sign anyway. Although it was said that Li Dong was transferring the land, it was actually something that couldn't be done in public.
Wang Pengfei's group didn't buy the land. They just spent 150 million to buy the right to sign the contract with Li Dong.
Without Li Dong's approval, the Ministry of Land and Resources wouldn't dare to give the land to Wang Pengfei's group.
Similarly, without Li Dong's approval, Wang Pengfei wouldn't dare to take the land.
In Jiangbei, forcefully taking over Li Dong's land had to consider the consequences.
From the 30th to the transfer of the land on the 6th, Li Dong had earned 150 million in one week. There weren't many businesses left like this.
With the addition of the 150 million, Li Dong had a total of 600 million in cash on hand.
Li Dong naturally wouldn't bring this sum of money overseas. It wasn't easy to bring it out either.
In the afternoon, Li Dong went straight to Shen Qian's office.
Li Dong didn't say much and passed a document to Shen Qian. "Help me keep this for now. Return it to me when I'm back."
Shen Qian asked curiously. "What's inside?"
"Don't worry about that. Just keep it. Don't lose it. Also, remember to return it to me when I'm back. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson. "
Hearing Li Dong's words, Shen Qian couldn't help but laugh. "Stop pretending. Forget it. I'll keep it for you. Just put it in our safe. My dad's important documents are in there. Is that okay?"
"That's more like it."
Li Dong laughed, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Shen Qian suddenly hugged his waist from behind and said softly, "You're leaving tomorrow. Can you have dinner with me tonight?"
Li Dong turned around and hugged her. He gently patted her back and sighed. "I know I'm handsome, but do you have to be like this? I'm under a lot of pressure. Tell me, what do you like about me? You're the daughter of the provincial party committee leader. You have a rich mother and you're also rich. How handsome do I have to be for you to be like this? "
Shen Qian's originally sad mood suddenly disappeared.
Then she laughed happily and said, "Can you be more shameless? Look in the mirror. Which part of you is handsome? "
"Am I not handsome?"
"Handsome my ass!"
Shen Qian laughed and scolded, but then she reacted and frowned. "You? Who are you? Li Dong, who are you hooking up with this time? "
Li Dong opened his mouth, and after a long while, he said with a wry smile, "I say, Miss Chen, your change is too fast. What happened to the tender and sweet feelings just now? How did it suddenly turn into jealousy? "
"Screw you! I don't care about you. "
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and then said in distress, "I'm so annoyed now. Li Dong, do you think I'm very shameless? I'm actually hooking up with a married man like you. "
"Yes, a little."
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, Shen Qian pinched him fiercely and said angrily, "I asked you to comfort me, not to anger me!"
Li Dong grinned and gently hugged her. "Don't be angry. I'm just joking. Let nature take its course. I'm also annoyed now. Women, especially women who are too outstanding, men really don't have much resistance when they meet. You say you like me, and we're together all day long. Isn't this forcing me to make mistakes? "
"Sophistry!"
Shen Qian snorted, but the corner of her mouth was slightly raised.
She felt really happy these two days. In the past, Li Dong always avoided her and avoided her.
But since the hug that day, Li Dong didn't seem to avoid her anymore. Sometimes he would say a few sweet words. Although the words were clumsy, Shen Qian was still very happy.
Although there was a trace of guilt in the bottom of her heart, and she felt that she had let Qin Yuhan down, Shen Qian couldn't care so much.
Sometimes love was so blind. For more than a year, the person she spent the most time with was Li Dong.
The man who had the closest relationship with her was also Li Dong.
After spending so much time together, Li Dong was not the kind of guy who could be ignored by others. It was a very natural process for him to go from unconvinced, to worship, to love.
It might not be so obvious at the beginning, but now, Shen Qian felt that she was somewhat unable to extricate herself.
She couldn't extricate herself from falling in love with this man who was eight years younger than her. She fell in love with this guy who already had a girlfriend.
Even if it was like a moth flying into a flame, even if it was a love without a big ending, Shen Qian wanted to give it a try.
Women were always more emotional than rational.
