In the evening, Li Dong returned home.
His parents had not returned yet, and the house seemed a little deserted.
Li Dong turned on the TV, leaned on the sofa, and continued to be lost in thought.
After some time, the door opened. Li Dong hurriedly turned his head. Li Chengyuan and his wife had returned.
Seeing Li Dong watching TV, Li Chengyuan asked curiously, "Why do you have time to watch TV today?"
Li Dong went forward and said with a smile, "I've been a little tired recently, so I'm relaxing at night."
Cao Fang heard his words and said with concern, "If you're too tired, give yourself a vacation. The company is so big, and you're not the only one in charge. Just leave it to someone else."
"Mom, this is my own business. How can I rest assured if I leave it to someone else?"
Li Dong said, "Don't talk about me. Aren't you the same? The restaurant is now on the right track. You two should relax. Do you think I'm short of money? Your restaurant's annual profit may not even be as much as I earn in a day. Your son is capable. Do you think I'll starve you? Don't be too tired. Look, it's already so late. It's more tiring than working. "
Li Dong nagged for a while and said to Cao Fang, "Mom, I'm a little hungry. Can you get me something to eat? I'll talk to Dad for a while."
Cao Fang did not think much about it. When she heard that Li Dong was hungry, she hurriedly put down her handbag and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known, I would have brought you something to eat from the restaurant. We don't have much food at home, and I don't know if there's anything to eat. I'll make something simple for you. "
"Okay, as long as it's food, I'm not picky."
"You!"
Cao Fang laughed and hurried into the kitchen.
After she left, Li Dong said to Li Chengyuan, "Dad, let's chat for a while. I haven't talked to you for a while."
Li Chengyuan sighed and said, "You're busy. Your mother and I are also busy. We haven't talked in a while."
The two of them walked to the sofa and Li Dong handed Li Chengyuan a cigarette. Li Chengyuan hurriedly waved his hand and looked at the kitchen before saying, "Your mother doesn't allow smoking at home. Also, I've started quitting smoking. You're still young, you should smoke less. It's not good for your health. "
Li Dong was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "It's good to quit smoking. I've been quitting recently. It's just that sometimes it's too annoying and I need to smoke it to refresh myself. "
"Don't be too annoyed. I know that Faraway Group is doing well. Dongzi, Dad is proud of you, but no matter how much money you have, it is not as important as your health. If your health collapses, everything will be in vain. How much money could a person really spend in this lifetime? To be honest, it's incredible that you've come this far. But I'm proud to have you as my son, not Faraway Group. If you're tired, rest. Don't put your mind on business … "
Li Chengyuan rarely said sentimental words, but today's words made Li Dong feel emotional.
After a while, Li Dong nodded gently and said, "Dad, I understand."
After a few words, Li Dong hesitated slightly and said, "Dad, Faraway Group is preparing to be restructured and set up a joint-stock company."
"En."
Li Chengyuan responded. Although he didn't know much about this, after all, he had opened the restaurant for a long time, so he had a basic understanding.
When Li Dong finished speaking, Li Chengyuan said, "Faraway has a new shareholder?"
Li Dong nodded. He thought about it and lit the cigarette in his hand. He took a puff and said, "I gave you and Mom each 5% of the shares. On the one hand, it's because a joint-stock company needs shareholders. On the other hand, if there is an accident in the future, it won't be …"
Li Chengyuan's face changed. He glanced at the kitchen and lowered his voice. "What's wrong? Did something happen to the company? "
Li Dong saw his worried face and waved his hand. "It's not about that. I'm just taking precautions. You also know that my business is so big now, and there are always some people who are jealous. Of course, you don't have to worry. In recent years, some small tycoons in the country have gotten into trouble, but how many of them have gotten into trouble like me? I'm just taking precautions. It's said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. You are my parents and the people I can trust the most. If I give you some shares, will you still oppose me in the future? "
"Don't tell Mom about this. I'm just letting you know. In the future, I will let Liu Qi be your shareholder representative. You should keep in touch. In addition, you know Old Zhou. He has been with me since the beginning for several years. However, I still need Old Zhou for the time being. I will arrange for Hong Bing to be your driver. After all, you are old, and it's not safe to drive by yourself. Hong Bing has some skills. With him around, I won't have to worry too much about you guys. Please don't reject him … "
Li Dong rambled on and on, but Li Chengyuan remained silent. After a while, he took out a cigarette and started smoking.
After a while, seeing that the fire in the kitchen was about to go out, Li Chengyuan said, "Dad can't help you much. You are successful now. You do things better than Dad. I don't understand other things, and I don't want to understand. Remember, before you do anything, you have to think about me and your mother. We only have you as our son. What's the use of having more money? I won't say anything else. I'll accept the shares, but I won't use these shares for the rest of my life. As long … as long as you are here, do you think Dad and your mother will be afraid of not having enough money to spend? "
Li Dong laughed. Seeing that Li Chengyuan was a little depressed, he was about to say a few words when a roar suddenly came from the side. "I already said that you are not allowed to smoke at home! Do you think my words are just passing in one ear? Li Chengyuan, do you think that you have too much pocket money? Do you believe that I will confiscate it all? "
Li Chengyuan suddenly said with a bitter face, "Dongzi handed it to me …"
"You smoked just because Dongzi handed it to you? Dongzi was busy with business. There was nothing he could do about it. What about you? And Dongzi, you are not allowed to smoke at home in the future. You haven't married yet. How can you find a wife when your teeth are black from smoking!? "
Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was he afraid that he couldn't find a wife now?
Not to mention that his teeth were black, even if he was disabled, there would still be people who wanted to marry him.
However, when his mother flew into a rage, Li Dong didn't refute. He hurriedly put out the cigarette butt and said, "Mom, Dad smoked first. I'll go eat first. You guys talk slowly."
"Li Chengyuan!"
The corner of Li Chengyuan's mouth twitched. He looked at his son with a black face and then said helplessly, "Alright, I was wrong. I won't smoke at home next time."
"There will be a next time!"
"…"
In the kitchen, listening to his parents' quarrel, Li Dong couldn't help but laugh.
Then he felt that this was the taste of home. He had neglected his parents too much in the past.
…
The next day, not long after Li Dong arrived at the company, Chen Ke entered the door and said, "General Manager Li, I just received an invitation."
"Where is it from?"
"The opening ceremony of the branch of Tanglong Group. They invite you to attend."
"Tanglong …"
Li Dong reached out to take the invitation and looked at it. He asked, "Who sent it?"
"A vice president of their company, Secretary General Liu, received them. They are still waiting for your reply."
"Okay, got it."
Li Dong glanced at the date and place of the invitation and said to Chen Ke, "Reply to them that I will go if there is nothing else."
"Okay."
Chen Ke nodded and left the office.
Li Dong picked up the invitation and looked at it again. It was January 14th, which was about ten days from now. It seemed that Tanglong had made a big deal this time.
Li Dong didn't bother to think about what Liu Long wanted to do. Anyway, he had made up his mind. No matter what Liu Long wanted to do, he couldn't change his mind.
As soon as he put down the invitation, Li Dong's phone rang.
After looking at the number, Li Dong answered the phone, "About the invitation?"
"You received it too?"
"Of course. Why did you call me if you didn't?"
"Ferocious dragons! Do you still remember the two young men we met last time? I asked around. The man is Liu Ke, the son of Tanglong's president, and the woman is Chang Qiqi … "
"Chang Qiqi?" Li Dong murmured with a strange look on his face.
Xu Shengzhe understood immediately and nearly spat out his saliva. It was only after a while that he said speechlessly, "Chang as in Chang, Qiqi is the one beside the word 'Wang'. What are you thinking!?"
"Ahem, you're an old hand. I'll repeat it. You're thinking too much."
Hsu Shengzhe didn't want to argue with him. He said, "Chang Qiqi is Chang Yuanshan's daughter. Tanglong's main business is energy. But I think it's just a cover. I think they're here to take the land. They're not friendly. Are you going to the banquet?"
"Of course. It's not a big deal. Tanglong Group moved its head office to Jiangbei. That's all. Not to mention it's just a subsidiary company. Chang Yuanshan isn't stable. Why should we be afraid of him? But it's good to go and have a look. At the same time, we can visit the 'friend' we met last time. He was defeated by us last time. "
"Hahaha …"
Hsu Shengzhe laughed. After a while, he said, "Okay. Since you're going, I'll go and have a look too. I'm looking forward to his expression when he sees us. It'll be fun. "
"Up to you. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
After hanging up, Li Dong looked at the calendar again. When Qin Yuhan came back last time, he said he would go to the capital to see her after he acquired the land.
Today was the 4th, and the winter vacation was not far away. It seemed that he had to go to the capital tomorrow.
After coming back, he still had to attend the banquet and prepare for the company's annual meeting. At the end of the year, it would be the New Year. They were all busy. It was good to take advantage of these few days to go and have a look.
When he was about to ask Chen Ke to help him book the plane ticket, Chen Ke entered the door and said, "General Manager Li, someone is looking for you."
"Who?"
"Mr. Meng Qiping."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Qiping rushed in with a sad face. Then he cried out, "General Manager Li, Bai Su didn't let me in!"
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched. He waved at Chen Ke. After she left, he said with a dark face, "Who let you in? Also, now Bai Su is the administrative assistant. It's normal for her to stop you. It's useless for you to snitch on her. "
Meng Qiping said pitifully, "How about I be your administrative assistant?"
Li Dong glanced at him and said with a smile, "Okay, as long as you can lose weight like Bai Su, I'll let you be my assistant."
"Ahem … Well, let's not talk about this."
Meng Qiping laughed dryly and changed the topic. "Brother Dong, are you busy these days?"
"What? Why are you here instead of selling your house? "
As soon as Meng Qiping heard Li Dong mention this, he immediately poured out his grievances and said, "Brother Dong, can you give me another job? I really can't stand it anymore. Not only am I being despised, but you're also not selling your house now. Those women in the sales office tease me all day long! Now that Nannan is angry, you're setting me up, aren't you? "
"Tease you? Did I hear it wrong? "Li Dong didn't believe it.
Meng Qiping vowed, "It's true. I'm not lying. Besides, I'm the only man in the sales office except for a few security guards. They can't find me even if they want to tease me."
Li Dong laughed and said, "They won't tease you. Don't make yourself proud. Also, you chose to sell your house. Now you want me to change your job. Tell me first, how's your performance? If it's good, I'll help you change your job. If it's not good … "
"Brother Dong …"
Meng Qiping interrupted him with a bitter face, "Can you not mention my performance? I'm a man. I can't sell my house. There are so many beautiful women in the sales office. "
"Then tell me, how many houses have you sold so far?"
"Three …"
Li Dong suddenly said with a black face, "Three? This is not a second-hand house, but the opening of a residential area. You told me you sold three houses? This time, you sold a total of thousands of houses in ten days. If I remember correctly, others sold dozens or hundreds of houses. How can you ask me to change my job with this result? "
Meng Qiping said with a sad face, "I'm not born to do this."
"Then what are you born to do?"
"I think it's good for me to be your secretary."
"Get lost!"
Li Dong scolded with a smile and then said helplessly, "I'm too lazy to beat you up. But since you didn't skip work and are honest …"
Speaking of this, Li Dong suddenly said, "Is it working hours today?"
Meng Qiping hurriedly said, "I asked for leave."
"Damn you!"
Li Dong said angrily, "I was going to change your job, but now it seems forget it. You go back to selling houses! The company will continue to open at the end of the year. This time, I'll set a goal for you. Thirty houses. If you sell them, you can change your job and come to me. If you can't sell them, you can go back to being a restaurant owner or stay in the sales office! "
"Brother Dong, I really can't …" Meng Qiping said with a sad face.
"You have to do it even if you can't! Don't cry in front of me. I don't believe that I can't subdue you with your temperament! "
Li Dong scolded him for a while in exasperation at his failure to live up to his expectations. Finally, he said helplessly, "Get lost! I'll keep my word this time. If you sell thirty houses, you can go to any department you want. I won't stop you from going to Cheng Nan's. If you can't sell them, you better get lost. I get annoyed when I see you now. "
Meng Qiping was a little tempted and asked tentatively, "Can you reduce the price?"
"No!"
Li Dong roared. Meng Qiping hurriedly ran out of the office.
Seeing him like this, Li Dong was helpless.
To be honest, he really wanted to arrange a good job for this damn fatty. After all, this guy was one of his few friends.
However, this guy did not have any outstanding achievements. Apart from being a student of Jiangzhou University, he was not of much use in the company.
Although Li Dong was a dictator, he could not ignore people. If he really gave him a high position, people would gossip.
Moreover, Meng Qiping was too young and not suitable. He did not know if he could be trained for a few years.
