The atmosphere on the stage froze.
Everyone who was about to step forward also stopped. The silence was frightening.
After a while, Li Kai coughed dryly and said, "General Manager Li, please don't misunderstand. It's a clock. Doesn't it represent time? Time is money. Who would say no to money when doing business? Don't you think so, General Manager Li?"
At this moment, Li Kai was in a difficult position.
He had sent the clock on purpose, but before coming, he had not known that Du Anmin was coming.
It was rumored that Li Dong and Du Anmin had a close relationship. It was not that Li Kai had not heard of it. He even knew that Du Anmin's daughter was working in Li Dong's company.
But so what? Just like his ZhongTian International, who knew how many people were secretly earning dividends from his company?
Even a few second-generation rich kids with similar status as Shen Qian were working in his company as consultants.
But a title was just a title. Li Kai knew what kind of people these people were.
Before, Li Kai had thought that Shen Qian was about the same, and Li Dong and Du Anmin's relationship was actually just that.
Li Dong had embarrassed him last time, and this time he had come to embarrass Li Dong. Even if Li Dong and Du Anmin had some unclear relationship, it was not a big deal.
But things had gone beyond Li Kai's expectations. He had not expected Du Anmin to come in person today!
Not only had he come, but Du Anmin, who had never written an inscription for a company, had actually written an inscription for Far away.
This time, Li Kai was in a difficult position. He knew that he had made a mistake this time.
He had already sent the clock here. How could he move it back?
Far away's people had not mentioned it, so Li Kai had thought that this would be the end of it. He would leave as soon as possible. After he left, if Li Dong found out, he would probably not say anything.
But plans could not keep up with changes. Before he left, Li Dong's people had actually exposed the matter.
Li Kai laughed, but he was the only one who could be heard laughing dryly.
After laughing for a while, Li Kai's expression changed, and he stopped laughing awkwardly.
Li Dong did not say anything. When Li Kai stopped talking, Li Dong said coldly, "Master Li, this gift is too big. I can't accept it. How about this, I get someone to send it to ZhongTian Tower? "
Li Kai coughed. "Since General Manager Li doesn't like it, then forget it. Just throw it."
After saying that, Li Kai lowered his head a little.
Hu Wanlin, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly. She stepped forward and said, "Director Li, it's a big day. How about …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Li Dong pressed his hand down and interrupted her.
Seeing this, Hu Wanlin's mouth twitched, but in the end, she did not argue.
She knew her place. If it was a small matter, it would not be a problem for Li Dong to give her some face.
But this was not a small matter!
In front of so many people, Li Kai had given a clock to Li Dong. If Li Dong did not get back at him, how could he continue to live in Pingchuan in the future?
With Du Anmin as his backing, if Li Dong could not even beat Li Kai, others would look down on him.
No one dared to say anything. They waited for the situation to develop.
Li Dong was not in a hurry to speak. He gently turned his watch. After a while, he said, "It's a gift from Master Li. It's not appropriate to throw it away. Master Li, are you sure you don't want to take it back? "
Li Kai's mouth twitched, but he did not say anything.
He knew what Li Dong meant. If he bowed his head and obediently took the clock back, Li Dong would not have a falling out with him.
But Li Kai could not back down. Take it back?
If he really agreed, the news would spread all over Pingchuan before tomorrow.
It was one thing to be slapped in the face by Li Dong last time, but this time, he had come knocking on Li Kai's door to be slapped in the face. He was too despicable. Who would take him seriously in the future?
In their line of work, once they lost their prestige, they would have a hard time in the future.
Many young and impetuous fellows were ready to replace them. Li Kai was afraid of death. He knew that people in his line of work usually did not have a good ending.
The reason he was safe and sound now was because he had a strong backing. Another reason was that his reputation was still there.
But without his notoriety, Li Kai was afraid that in a few days, he would be killed by those youngsters who wanted to make a name for themselves.
Those hot-headed fellows would do anything for the sake of fame and fortune.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Kai felt that offending Li Dong was less harmful. His desire to bow his head to Li Dong also weakened.
Seeing this, Li Dong nodded and said again, "Since Master Kai is not willing to take it back, I will handle it myself. How about this, Old Zhou, take the clock to Lan Shan Temple. Also, buy a piece of land in Lan Shan and choose one with good Fengshui. "
Zhou Haidong narrowed his eyes and said, "General Manager Li, why do you want to buy the land?"
"The Fengshui is good for a cemetery. Hang that clock there. When Master Kai passes away, I will pay for his funeral!"
At the end of his sentence, Li Dong's face was cold.
Li Kai's expression changed. Seeing this, the others did not say anything. After a while, Hsu Shengzhe said, "Old Li, forget it. It's a happy day. Why don't we drink a few cups together later to ward off the bad luck?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "Sure. Take care, Master Kai. Be careful on the road. We haven't bought the land yet."
Everyone understood what he meant. They held back their laughter and dared not say anything.
Li Kai's mouth twitched. He laughed dryly and said, "Then there is no need for General Manager Li to worry. I will leave first. Leave the land for General Manager Li."
After saying this, Li Kai left in a hurry.
If it was before, it would not be strange for Li Kai to turn hostile on the spot after Li Dong said this.
But today, Du Anmin had just left, and he was causing trouble Far away. Wasn't that not giving Du Anmin face?
Li Kai could survive in Pingchuan until now, so he had to have some discerning eyes. There was no need to argue now. Since he could not gain the upper hand with words, what was the point of staying?
Once he left, Li Dong returned to his usual self. He smiled at the crowd and said, "I have made a fool of myself in front of everyone. Don't take it to heart."
Everyone hurriedly said, "That's right, that's right. General Manager Li, don't be angry. Harmony makes money, harmony makes money."
"General Manager Li, today is a joyous occasion. There is no need to be calculative with him. Forget it."
"Yes, that's right."
"…"
Everyone offered a few words of consolation and expressed their own positions in passing.
"Haha, everyone is right. There is no need to be angry with this kind of person. General Manager Sun, take everyone to the hotel. I have something to do upstairs. "
Sun Tao nodded hurriedly and called for everyone to hurry to the hotel.
After the guests left with Sun Tao, Li Dong's face darkened completely.
There were still some people who had not left. Seeing this, Hu Xiaorui comforted him, "Li Dong, why don't we go back and beat this damn fatty up?"
Hu Ming gently tugged at her, frowned, and did not say anything.
Hu Wanlin said softly, "General Manager Li, I have told you that this guy will not recognize anyone when he goes crazy. You should be careful. There is no need to say those words of loyalty."
Li Dong glanced at her, chuckled, and did not say anything.
Then he said to Shen Qian, who was looking at him next to him, "Don't worry about me. Take Chief Hu and the others to the hotel. I will be there in a while."
"You …"
"Go. I will come down after I send Secretary Du's inscription up. It will be quick."
Shen Qian wanted to say something but stopped. She thought for a while and did not say anything. She led Hu Wanlin and the others out.
After everyone left, Li Dong looked around on the podium. After a long time, he said coldly, "Buy the land and hang the clock. I want to see when this Master Kai will die!"
Zhou Haidong was slightly worried and said, "General Manager Li, this …"
"Don't worry. There is no need for me to deal with this kind of person." Li Dong sneered. "Hasn't the Public Security Department been carrying out some anti-mafia operation recently? They even set up an anti-mafia operation team. Li Kai has such a big reputation here. If we take down this person, we will be rewarded! "
Zhou Haidong frowned slightly and said, "General Manager Li, Li Kai's background is almost clean. Now, he is doing clean business in Pingchuan …"
"A dog can't stop eating sh * t! If I really want to, do you think he can clean up his mess? "
Li Dong snorted and said lightly, "Don't worry. We will play with him slowly. I am just too lazy to deal with him. He really thinks he is something!"
If Li Kai did not do this today, Li Dong would not have bothered with him.
Just as he thought before, this was the way of society. When there was white, there would be black.
Li Kai represented another level of society. There was no end to this kind of person. If he took down one today, it would not be long before another Li Kai appeared.
Li Dong was not obligated to be a cleaning machine for society. If Li Kai did not provoke him, he did not want to fight with him.
However, Li Kai insisted on turning the tables and regaining his reputation. Then, he could not blame Li Dong for being rude.
Far away was a joyous day, and it was his own birthday. Giving a clock to Li Dong at this time was a taboo for Li Dong.
Since Li Kai did not believe it and wanted to try his luck with Li Dong, then Li Dong would grant him his wish.
For a person like Li Kai who was full of sh * t, no matter how clean his background was, it would not be that clean.
Not to mention that Li Kai had not completely drawn a line with the underworld. As long as he had something on Li Kai, it would not be difficult to use the power of the authorities to kill him.
Hearing Li Dong say this, Zhou Haidong nodded.
As long as Li Dong did not do it himself, it would be fine. As for the Public Security Department, he could just spend more money. With Du Anmin's face, others would have to give him some face.
However, Zhou Haidong thought about it and still reminded him, "What about the people behind Li Kai?"
"Don't worry, I know what to do. When I have something on Li Kai, it will not matter who is behind him."
Li Dong laughed, his eyes full of coldness.
If he really had something on him, who would dare to protect Li Kai?
If someone really dared to protect him, then that person had better pray that he was innocent and had nothing to do with the Chen father and son.
Don't forget that Li Dong had obtained a lot of information from the villa. Usually, Li Dong could not be bothered to touch these things.
But if someone did not know what to do, then Li Dong did not mind letting him go in to clean up his act.
Li Dong had even thought of who to give the information to. Du Anmin was not suitable, because Old Du might suppress this matter. But there was someone more suitable than Old Du, Hu Xiaorui!
Li Dong did not forget that this girl's uncle was the director of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
If he gave her a big gift for free, she should be very satisfied.
