Four years had passed, and the people had changed.
Li Dong was no longer the Li Dong who told others that no one would celebrate his birthday. Yuan Xue was no longer the Yuan Xue who would send greeting cards to comfort others.
The innocence and naivety of the past were gone with the passage of time.
Both of them were lost in their memories.
After a while, Yuan Xue sighed softly, "Forget it, the plane tickets have been booked. Faraway Group will be established tomorrow. I wish you a bright future."
Li Dong's mouth moved, but he didn't know how to keep her.
After a while, Yuan Xue got up and smiled, "I'll leave first. You can go and do what you need to do."
"I …"
Li Dong wanted to say something, but Yuan Xue gently interrupted, "You don't have to say anything. I understand, but I'm really tired, tired …"
Yes, she was tired, but her heart was tired.
She could bear the stigma of being a mistress to let go and love once, but she couldn't bear the torment of waiting.
He could be tender and sweet when he missed her, but he could also ignore her when he was busy. He might not even call for a few months.
She seemed to be just a spice in his life, and he would only think of her when life was dull.
Yuan Xue was tired, mentally and spiritually.
Maybe this game should be over. Maybe she shouldn't have pestered him from the beginning. Letting go might be the best result.
…
Yuan Xue left.
When Li Dong was about to reach the first peak of his life, she left. Dressed in white, she floated away.
There was no blame, no sorrow. She just said that she was tired, tired.
Li Dong stood in the same place and was silent for a long time.
He didn't explain or ask her to stay. At that moment, he felt that whatever he said was redundant.
Yuan Xue was not anyone's accessory, nor was she anyone's spice.
She was her, Yuan Xue, the cold and arrogant class monitor like a snow lotus.
…
August 18th.
Far away from the building.
Outside the building, there was a huge crowd and colorful flags fluttered in the wind.
The red carpet stretched from the entrance of the building to the small square a few hundred meters away. Far away employees from various places stood on both sides of the red carpet.
Everyone's faces were brimming with joy and pride that could not be erased.
The unveiling ceremony of Faraway Group was today!
Inside the building, the chairman's office.
Li Dong was dressed in a well-ironed suit with a bright red firework on his chest.
Liu Qi and Chen Ke were busy wiping the creases on his suit. Shen Qian looked at him carefully. After a while, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's it. You're in good spirits!"
A smile appeared on Li Dong's face as he asked Liu Qi, "Is the schedule for the Municipal Committee ready?"
Liu Qi was about to speak when Li Dong's office phone rang.
Liu Qi hurriedly answered the call. After exchanging a few words, Liu Qi hung up and said in shock: "General Manager Li, it's a call from the Provincial Party Committee General Office."
"General Office of the Provincial Party Committee?"
"Well, they said that Secretary Du is on his way …"
Li Dong turned his head and glanced at Shen Qian. Shen Qian shook her head and said, "Don't look at me. I really don't know. Besides, I can't make the decision for this kind of thing. Since he is here, he must have his reasons."
Since Du Anmin wanted to come to Far Away, it was certainly not for personal reasons.
His every move was watched by countless people. Since he decided to come to Far Away, Du Anmin must have his own considerations.
Thinking of this, Li Dong quickly said, "Did he mention where he is?"
"On the way. He will arrive in about ten minutes."
"Quick, inform all the senior executives to accompany me to welcome him!"
Liu Qi and Chen Ke hurriedly made phone calls and went out to inform others. The huge Far Away Building immediately took action.
Li Dong did not dare to delay. As he walked out, he said to Shen Qian, "Secretary Du came suddenly. I don't know whether he is here for an inspection or simply to attend the unveiling ceremony. You can inquire about the situation later."
Shen Qian smiled and said, "What's the hurry? Isn't it normal for him to come? In fact, I would be surprised if he didn't come. Faraway Group was established. As the second largest private enterprise in Jiangbei, it is normal for the Provincial Party Committee Secretary to attend the unveiling ceremony. You don't have to think too much. "
Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "I hope so, but don't neglect him. Public is public, private is private. Don't mix them up."
If it was in private, Li Dong would not be so nervous and polite when he met Du Anmin.
But now it was an official inspection. There was a high chance that the Jiangbei news would appear in the evening. At this time, Li Dong could only treat him as the No. 1 official of Jiangbei, not as Shen Qian's father.
On the first floor of the building, Li Dong gathered several senior executives of Far Away.
Sun Tao, Wu Shengnan, Qin Hai, Wang Yue …
These people were all in high spirits. They were dressed in brand-new suits or professional attire, and they all wore fireworks on their chests.
Seeing Li Dong, Sun Tao hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, is Secretary Du coming?"
"Yes, let's talk while walking. We didn't receive any notice before. Just now, the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee called. He will arrive soon."
Li Dong simply said and turned to Chen Ke. "Hurry up and get the nameplate done. Also, change the position. Don't make a mistake. Do you understand?"
Chen Ke quickly nodded and hurriedly left with the two people.
Li Dong walked while arranging tasks. Out of the building, under the attention of everyone, Li Dong walked along the red carpet all the way to the end.
They stood in the same place for less than three minutes, and the sound of police sirens came from afar.
Then everyone saw a motorcade coming over. There were police cars in front and in the front. In the middle was a Kosida minibus, followed by a few cars.
The minibus circled around in the same place. When the motorcade stopped, Du Anmin walked down from the Kosida minibus.
Then, several staff members and official media came down.
As soon as he saw Du Anmin, Li Dong quickly reached out and smiled. "Secretary Du, sorry for the trouble."
Du Anmin smiled and said, "It's not trouble. The establishment of Faraway Group will bring glory to me. It will give Jiangbei's private enterprises a shot in the arm. I must come! Far away is very good. Very good! "
Du Anmin said "very good" twice in a row. Li Dong and the senior executives behind him were all happy.
This was not a compliment in private, but in front of the official media.
The video of Du Anmin and Li Dong shaking hands and meeting was very likely to appear on the news at night. This meant that Du Anmin said this in front of 60 million people in Jiangbei. This was almost an official statement.
How could Li Dong and the others not be happy? Du Anmin's two simple sentences almost represented the Jiangbei government's affirmation of Faraway Group.
Everyone exchanged a few words, and Du Anmin said, "General Manager Li, can you take me to the Far away building to have a look? I heard that you have recently established a data center library. If it's convenient, I would like to go and have a look. "
When Li Dong heard this, he said, "It's convenient. Secretary Du, follow me."
Because it was not time to unveil the plaque, Li Dong led everyone into the Far Away building.
Starting from the top floor, Du Anmin inspected several subsidiaries of Faraway Group.
Except for the real estate company, which Du Anmin did not say anything, the other companies, Du Anmin praised a few words.
Whether it was the supermarket system or the logistics system, these were labor-intensive industries.
Faraway Supermarket, Times Supermarket, plus the logistics side, these three departments, Far Away had nearly 10,000 employees.
No matter where, a company with more than 10,000 employees was worthy of the government's attention.
Du Anmin nodded again and again. After looking at the two companies, he smiled at Li Dong and said, "Very good, General Manager Li, I hope you will continue to work hard to make Far Away bigger and stronger, and become a benchmark enterprise in Jiangbei. It has not been easy for private enterprises to develop over the years. The province has been giving private enterprises various support policies, but there are very few that can really get on the right track and stand up. Far Away is not easy to achieve this step, and it is not unrelated to the efforts of managers like you. I hope you can broaden your horizons … "
Du Anmin said a lot, and Li Dong and the others were also deeply touched.
Next, everyone went downstairs and went to the data center library to have a look.
Because it had just been relocated, there was actually nothing in the data center library, but Du Anmin still looked at it with great interest.
He also suggested that Li Dong should walk on two legs and take each step steadily …
Li Dong could only nod at this moment. There was no need for him to interrupt. After a while, Liu Qi walked in front of Li Dong and whispered, "General Manager Li, the guests are beginning to enter."
Faraway Group was established. In addition to the internal celebration, Li Dong also invited some friends.
However, now that Du Anmin was here, Li Dong could not leave. He whispered to Liu Qi, "Let CEO Sun go over to receive them. I will go over later."
As he said that, Du Anmin suddenly smiled and said, "General Manager Li, if you are busy, you go ahead. I will take a look and let Manager Shen accompany me."
Li Dong looked at Shen Qian, and Shen Qian nodded at him.
Du Anmin came early today to see some real things. There was no need for Li Dong to accompany him.
Listening to Du Anmin, Li Dong could not refuse. He apologized to Du Anmin and left early.
However, Sun Tao and the others were still there, waiting for Du Anmin to ask questions.
…
After leaving Du Anmin, Li Dong was slightly relieved.
Although he usually talked about Old Du, in fact, when he saw Du Anmin in a working state, Li Dong still felt a lot of pressure.
The head of a province, the governor of a border. This kind of official was not a nobody. People who underestimated them would die a horrible death.
Although Shen Qian was sandwiched between Li Dong and Du Anmin, Li Dong did not want to offend Du Anmin.
Today, Du Anmin was in a good mood. Far away was praised several times. Li Dong also felt a lot better.
Walking from the data center to the entrance of the Far away building, Li Dong saw Hsu Shengzhe and others.
Hsu Shengzhe, Hu Ming, Hu Xiaorui, Hu Wanlin, Zhang Lanyu, Ji Lanxin …
In addition to these acquaintances, there were also some partners Far away.
Several big suppliers that Li Dong was familiar with also came together. These people did not come empty-handed. They more or less brought some gifts.
The most eye-catching one was naturally a Golden Pixiu that was carried by four people.
Seeing this, Li Dong looked at Hsu Shengzhe. Sure enough, Hsu Shengzhe laughed and said, "It's the establishment of the group. Let's celebrate. This is a small token of appreciation from me and Director Hu. We invited Master Shiyin of Lanshan Temple to bless it. It's the most suitable way to ward off evil and earn money. "
Because today was a happy day, Li Dong did not say much. He waved his hand and invited the Golden Pixiu in. Then, he led everyone to the guest hall.
Halfway there, Li Dong deliberately slowed down.
Hsu Shengzhe also took the initiative to stay until the end. Seeing that Li Dong was about to talk to him, he quickly laughed and said, "This was not my idea. It was Old Hu who suggested it. He said that we earned a lot from this cooperation, so he took out some dividends for you to celebrate. "
Li Dong felt a headache and said, "What a mess. Where do you think I should put such a huge Golden Pixiu? If I put it at the door, I will have people watching it every day. "
As he spoke, Li Dong said, "How much did you spend?"
"Hehe, not much. Don't think that it's so big. It's actually gilded. A total of 18 catties of gold was used. Including the crafting cost, it was only two to three million."
"You guys are really good."
Hsu Shengzhe comforted, "It's fine. If it doesn't work, we can put it in your office. It's good to ward off evil and attract wealth."
"We'll talk about it later."
Li Dong rubbed his head. Just the thought of putting such a huge Pixiu in his office made him shudder. In the future, when others came to his office and saw such a thing, they would laugh at him to death.
