Staring at them, Li Dong narrowed his eyes and asked Chen Rui, "Brother Chen, your friend?"
Chen Rui nodded awkwardly, "He's my friend."
At this time, Yu Le spoke, crossing his legs and chuckling, "Chen Rui's friend is my friend. Since we've gotten to know each other today, let's make friends. You happen to know Old Wei, so there's no need to say anything. You're from Jiangbei, right? When you come to the capital in the future, tell me Brother Le's name. "
Li Dong forced a smile and looked at Wei Hengzhi.
Wei Hengzhi smiled faintly and stood up, "General Manager Li, let's talk later. I don't think we can talk today."
"Old Wei, you're not giving me face by leaving when I'm here. Why don't you stay for a drink?"
Wei Hengzhi said indifferently, "Forget it, I drank quite a bit just now. You guys go ahead."
"Alright, take care. I won't be seeing you out."
Yu Le turned from guest to host, saying with a smile, then turned to Li Dong, "Li … Li Dong, right? Do you want to stay for a while?"
Li Dong's expression changed abruptly, coldly saying, "If I remember correctly, I'm the one who booked this private room, right?"
Yu Le frowned and looked at Chen Rui, "Chen Rui, this friend of yours doesn't seem to know what's good for him?"
Chen Rui smiled, giving Li Dong several looks, but Li Dong didn't look at him, nor did he look at Yu Le's group. Instead, he chased after Wei Hengzhi, "Chief Wei, I'm sorry, today's matter …"
Wei Hengzhi chuckled, "It's fine. I'm off tomorrow, so we can continue talking."
Saying so, Wei Hengzhi glanced at Yu Le's group, saying in an inaudible voice, "A few hooligans, ignore them."
Leaving these words behind, Wei Hengzhi didn't linger and left the private room.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the private room became awkward.
Li Dong glanced at the crowd, then looked at Chen Rui and said in a muffled voice, "President Chen, I'm entertaining a guest. Isn't this a little inappropriate?"
Chen Rui had an awkward expression on his face. He didn't rush to reply to him. Instead, he said to Yu Le and the others, "Excuse me, this friend of mine has just arrived in the capital. I'm going out to have a chat with him."
Yu Le said lazily, "You guys go ahead. Also, get the waiter to come in and clean up. Let's eat. I'm hungry."
"Alright …"
"What's so good about it?!"
Li Dong's face was ice-cold. He glared at them and said, "Do you want to try moving? Let's see who dares to make a move before my meal ends! "
He had wanted to say a few words to Chen Rui, but these bastards had gone too far!
He hadn't even left yet, but they wanted to remove him from his table. If this had happened in Jiangbei, Li Dong would have been furious when they first arrived.
It was already hard enough for him to hold it in, but this bastard was adding fuel to the fire.
When Yu Le and the others heard Li Dong's vulgarities, they were stunned for a moment. Then, their faces turned ugly.
The red-haired woman stared at Chen Rui and said, "Chen Rui, what's going on?"
Chen Rui's mouth twitched for a while. At this time, he remembered Li Dong's reputation. When this guy was angry, he wouldn't recognize anyone. Who cared about their identity?
He winked at Li Dong. Chen Rui quickly smiled and said, "Sister Man, I'm really sorry. My friend was just joking. I want to say a few words to him."
As he spoke, Chen Rui tried to pull Li Dong, but Li Dong shook off his hand.
Chen Rui whispered, "Swiss francs!"
Li Dong's movements froze for a moment, then he glared at him and said, "Okay, let's go out and have a chat!"
After that, Li Dong turned his head and stared at everyone. "I'll leave the dinner here. I'm not back yet. You can try to move. What's wrong with Beijing? Don't think too highly of yourself. Don't play with me, Li Dong!"
With a snort, Li Dong ignored them and went straight out of the private room.
At this time, Zhang Lanyu had also arrived. She looked at Li Dong at the door and said apologetically, "I'm sorry …"
"It's okay."
Li Dong was unhappy. He said to Tan Yong and the others, "Keep an eye on these guys. I'll be back soon. Before I come back, did you hear what I just said?"
"Yes!"
Tan Yong and the others quickly responded. Then, five or six bodyguards in black rushed into the private room.
When Yu Le and the others saw this, they looked at each other. It seemed that he was a tycoon. No wonder he was so arrogant.
They felt that Li Dong was arrogant, but they did not know that if it weren't for Chen Rui, Li Dong would have given these bastards a good beating!
…
Outside the private room.
Li Dong and Chen Rui walked for a while and found a quiet place. Li Dong stared at Chen Rui and said, "Young Master Chen, what's the matter? Are you here to cause trouble today?"
Chen Rui did not say a word. After searching for a while, he found a pack of cigarettes and took one out for Li Dong. Then, he lit one for himself.
Li Dong frowned slightly. He did not light the cigarette and just looked at him.
Chen Rui laughed self-deprecatingly. He took a puff and exhaled. "Li Dong, I'm really sorry for tonight. I thought it was Lan Yu's dinner party. I thought that she had been eating for a while and it was about time to end, so I wanted to borrow the private room. I didn't expect …"
"Didn't expect it to be me?"
"Yes."
Li Dong snorted. "No matter who it is, based on the attitude of your friends, I won't let them go even if I'm done eating! What the hell? If you hadn't spoken just now, I wouldn't have let them go! "
Chen Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mind me. They all have powerful backgrounds. I'll apologize to you for what happened tonight. Just give me some face and give way. I'll treat you to a meal as an apology later, okay?"
Li Dong stared at him for a while. After a long time, he frowned. "What's wrong with you now? If I remember correctly, Secretary-General Chen hasn't retired yet. He's still a deputy director. Why do you have to pretend to be someone's grandson? "
Chen Rui's face showed a touch of self-mockery, and he sneered, "Deputy Minister? Yes, he's not even as good as a deputy director! Do you know what my father is doing now? "
Li Dong shook his head. He really didn't pay attention to this.
"Deputy director inspector of the Archives Bureau!"
The corner of Li Dong's eyes twitched. The Archives Bureau was originally a low-paid government office. Chen Rui's father couldn't even get a deputy director position. How could he be an inspector?
In other words, it was not a leadership position at all.
Although his rank was still there, as Chen Rui said, he couldn't even compare to a deputy director with real power.
A fallen phoenix was worse than a chicken. In this case, it seemed reasonable for Chen Rui to pretend to be a grandson.
Li Dong sighed and asked, "Even so, you shouldn't be like this. Do you think you'll die without any power? The incident in Jiangbei is over. What's the use of you staying with these people? I can tell that these loafers aren't good people. "
Chen Rui glanced at him and said with a faint smile, "Yeah, none of them are good people. But poverty stunts ambition, we still have to live, don't we? I'm different from you. You're now a famous entrepreneur in the country with a net worth of billions. You don't have to worry about money at home. But I can't. I still have a big family to support. "
Li Dong frowned and glanced at him. "There's no point in making sarcastic remarks. We don't need to talk about this today. I'll give you face and let you have the private room. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. But after today's matter, there's no need for us to deal with each other anymore! "
The current Chen Rui had changed a lot. Li Dong was unhappy when he heard the sour tone in his voice.
It was Chen Rui who caused trouble for him today. He didn't blame him, but this guy blamed him.
Also, when Chen Rui mentioned Swiss Francs in the private room, Li Dong frowned. He thought that this guy wouldn't mention it. He didn't expect him to bring it up the moment they met.
Seeing that Li Dong wasn't polite, Chen Rui's eyes flashed with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Dong, then I'll get straight to the point! If you didn't come to Beijing, then there's nothing to say. I'll just let it go. But since you're here, and your life is ten thousand times better than mine, you have to give me an explanation! "
"What explanation do you want?"
"I'll give you the information. Give me back my money!"
"No!"
Li Dong's face darkened. "You're really daring. Besides, do you dare to take it if I give it to you?"
"Why not!" Chen Rui looked remorseful. "I shouldn't have sold the villa to you. You've done a lot of big things with those things. Don't think that I don't know. I have nothing now. My life is worse than a dog's! You're right. I've been a grandson and licked people's butts. Why? Isn't it to live like a human being? Now that Yu Le and the others are preparing to start a company, if I can invest in it, then I'll have a firm foothold in the circle. Li Dong, I'll keep my word. Give me the money. As for the rest, you keep it. I don't care! "
Chen Rui's face was a little sinister. Obviously, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
Li Dong frowned and looked at him. After a long time, he said, "Five million. That's all. Five million is enough for you to live like a human being! Previously, you took a lot of money for your business and villa in Jiangbei. It's tens of millions. Don't tell me that you can't even invest in it? Don't think that I'm stupid. I'm afraid that those guys just now can't take out ten million. Is this enough? "
"Five million! Do you think I'm a beggar? "
Chen Rui said angrily, "That's fifty million Swiss francs! That's more than three hundred million RMB! Those are all my things. I'm asking you to return them to me now. I'll give you everything else, but you're asking me for five million! Li Dong, you're worth more than ten billion. Do you still care about this bit of money? If you return the money to me, I won't tell anyone about Governor Huang … "
"Are you threatening me?"
"It's not a threat. It's a warning!"
Li Dong said coldly, "Chen Rui, don't play this game with me! I won't give you a single cent. What can you do to me? If you have the guts, go and report me. The money is already mine. It has nothing to do with you! Besides, do you dare to report me? You're still free and unrestrained now. If anything gets out, I want to see who'll be the unlucky one! "
Li Dong snorted and stared at him. He continued, "Also, I won't argue with you about this on account of our past relationship. Don't think that I'm so easy to talk to! You also know that I'm worth ten billion. We're all smart people. Don't use those useless things! "
Chen Rui's expression changed again. Li Dong didn't look at him and turned to leave.
As he walked, Li Dong said, "I advise you to stay away from those friends of yours. They're neither human nor ghost! I'll give you face this time. If … hmph! "
