The banquet ended abruptly.
When Liu Long and his son sent the guests off, they were smiling, but their smiles were awkward.
Li Dong didn't mind and helped to greet the guests. After sending them off, Li Dong boarded his car and left.
When Li Dong's car drove out of the neighborhood, a bright light shone in front of them.
The bright light made Li Dong dizzy. Rubbing his eyes, Li Dong said helplessly, "Why are you all acting like kids? Is this fun?"
Shen Qian turned her head slightly to avoid the light. She was annoyed and amused at the same time. "Interesting? They're already giving you face by not smashing your car. What do you want me to say to you? Don't speak without thinking! "
Li Dong's move tonight had forced Hu Ming and the others into a corner. They had no choice but to form the Mutual Aid Association.
Li Dong said embarrassedly, "I was just joking. Who knew everyone would take it seriously?"
"Don't explain to me. Explain to them."
When Shen Qian said that, someone knocked on Li Dong's car window.
Hsu Shengzhe opened the window and said, "Follow us. Let's have a chat!"
"I still have something to do tonight …"
"If you don't go, we will smash your house's windows tonight!"
Hsu Shengzhe's face was sullen. Li Dong's nonsense was fine, but everyone thought he had agreed to it.
After all, Hsu Shengzhe had been busy with this matter. To others, Li Dong had just joined, and there was no need for him to do so much.
Since Li Dong was not the mastermind, it can only be Hsu Shengzhe.
Li Dong laughed dryly. "Look at what you are saying. I am just listening to your opinion."
"Get lost!"
When Li Dong said that, Hsu Shengzhe said angrily, "If you dare say that I am the mastermind, I will fight you to the death!"
"Cough, cough, cough. Let's go. It's getting late. What's there to talk to a bunch of old men?"
"You!"
Seeing his perfunctory attitude, Xu Shengzhe was both angry and furious. He glared at him for a while before saying in a muffled voice, "I'm an idiot. I'll believe one more word you say in the future, but I won't believe Xu!"
"Don't be so harsh. Are you going to change your surname to mine?"
"Li Dong!"
"Don't be angry, I'm just telling you the truth. If I told you what I could do to earn three to five hundred million a month, would you work for me? When the time comes, you'll definitely be willing to do it. If that's the case, won't it be inappropriate for you to change your surname? "
"I … I don't want to talk to you!"
Hsu Shengzhe cursed and returned to his car, panting. The cars in front of him left quickly.
Li Dong curled his lips and said, "Look, this guy's mentality is so bad. If he really becomes the Alliance Sect Leader, then what is the point of the Alliance? It won't be reliable. "
"Li Dong!"
Shen Qian could not stand him anymore. She said helplessly, "Can't you be a little more shameless? I give up. How can you be so magnanimous?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "I can't help it. I learned it from them. When these guys are shameless, they are much more powerful than me. I am just learning from them. "
"But what you did tonight was a thankless effort!"
"You don't understand!"
Li Dong said proudly, "Sometimes, it is a blessing to be on the losing end. Tonight, it seems that I have offended these old guys, but in fact, it is just an association. So what if I join? Will I lose a piece of meat? "
"But once the association is formed, do you think I, the initiator, will still be a foot soldier? Since it is an alliance, there must be a nominal leader. "
"If Hsu Shengzhe wants to get rich quietly, then I will grant him his wish. Didn't he push me out? Then I'll stand up and occupy the position of the nominal decision-maker first. "
"With a name, everything else will be easy."
"What Hsu Shengzhe can give, do you think I can't? These old men are not easy to fool. Everyone knows what Hsu Shengzhe is thinking. Also, this guy is very cunning. Everyone is guarding against him. "
"If they really want to choose a leader, will they choose the sinister Hsu Shengzhe? Or would they choose me, a carefree fool who doesn't seem to be a threat to them? "
"Pfft!"
As soon as Li Dong finished, Shen Qian burst into laughter. After a while, she covered her mouth and coughed. "You also know that you are stupid? I thought you didn't know."
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "That's how I described myself. I'm stupid? If I am stupid, these guys are all idiots! "
"Alright, I can't win against you. But things are not as simple as you think. Let's get through this first. "
"Don't worry. Since I dare to say this, I have a solution."
…
The convoy drove all the way to Mount Lan before stopping.
Lan Shan Club.
Immediately after entering a private room, Hõ Ming's group waited for Li Dong to enter before Hõ Ming said with a playful smile, "Manager Li, what you did tonight wasn't right."
Li Dong feigned ignorance. "Not right? What do you mean, Director Hu? "
Seeing this, Hu Ming was a little annoyed and said, "Director Li, it's meaningless to pretend to be ignorant at this time."
Li Dong laughed and found a place to sit. Seeing everyone looking at him, he raised his brows. "Everyone, I admit that I was a little presumptuous. But to be honest, I like to be straightforward and do whatever I want. What can you achieve by dragging your feet? "
"Now that the economy is recovering, all the state-owned and private enterprises are developing rapidly to seize the market. But what about us? We are all hiding in Jiangbei to entertain ourselves! "
"When Hsu Shengzhe came to talk to me about this, my first thought was that all of you are finally enlightened."
"But look at the result. Everyone is planning and hesitating. Some are still waiting to see the situation before making a decision. "
"All of you think you have enough time and are not in a hurry. But I can't. Our target isn't Jiangbei. I don't have time to waste with you. If I can succeed, I'll succeed. If not, I'll focus on expanding as soon as possible. It's better than talking nonsense with you. "
"That's why I decided to take matters into my own hands today and make things clear. Don't mind it. If you don't want to do it, I won't force you. Just treat it as us setting up an association for fun. Anyway, I won't ask you to pay any membership fees. If all of you are interested, let's sit down and have a good talk. "
"Time is money. What's the point of wasting so much time?"
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, everyone fell silent. There was no longer the initial hostility.
Although this guy's words are harsh, his words are still reasonable.
Procrastinating is indeed a waste of time. It's better to have an open discussion. This way, they can save a lot of energy.
Seeing that Li Dong took control of the situation with just a few words, Hsu Shengzhe frowned and said, "Then you should at least discuss this with us. You said this in front of Chang Yuanshan and the others. Have you considered our feelings?"
Li Dong expected this guy to jump out. After he finished speaking, Li Dong asked in surprise, "Didn't you agree?"
Hsu Shengzhe said angrily, "When did I agree?"
Li Dong said helplessly, "I said I won't go. Didn't you ask me to go? You also agreed to exchange Longhua Square with me. Otherwise, why would I do this? I don't have any grudges with the Liu family and Governor Chang. Is it worth it to disgust them? "
"Stop pretending! Do you think you can acquire Pengfei Real Estate in a day? I think you've been in contact with Wang Pengfei for a long time. I think you're acting tonight! "
"Bullshit! This is a complete accident. If you didn't mention it tonight, I wouldn't even know about it. When I went to talk to Wang Pengfei, he was forced into a dead end by Liu Kechang and Qiqi. I just casually said something and this guy acted like he found a life-saving straw. How would I know he would be so easy to talk to. "
"Who are you kidding? Ask us if we believe you."
Li Dong laughed, "Xiaorui, do you believe me?"
Hu Xiaorui nodded quickly and said with a smile, "I believe you."
Li Dong looked at Ji Lanxin and said, "Director Ji, do you think I'll lie?"
Ji Lanxin held back her laughter and said reluctantly, "I don't think so."
"Wan Lin, do you think I'll lie?"
Hu Wanlin coughed and looked at Hsu Shengzhe. She smiled and did not say anything.
Li Dong spread his hands and said innocently, "Look, everyone believes me. You're the only one who's nitpicking. Also, is this the main topic tonight? Aren't you just jealous that I acquired Pengfei Real Estate? Who asked you to be unwilling to go? "
"Also, you're too narrow-minded. I've already set my sights beyond Jiangbei, and you're still fussing over the gains and losses of this place. What's the point of that?"
Li Dong sighed, "Old Xu, you really can't be like this. You're too suspicious. Since everyone wants to work together, then we have to be open and honest. Otherwise, if we keep scheming against each other, we won't even have a stable internal structure. How can we talk about joint development? You're always like this. I'm starting to doubt our cooperation. Why don't we just set up an association to have some fun. "
Hsu Shengzhe's face turned purple. This guy's shamelessness had reached perfection.
Just as he was about to retort, Hu Ming interrupted, "Everyone, calm down. General Manager Li, stop talking."
Li Dong shrugged and said, "Then I won't say anything. You guys go ahead."
"Shameless!"
Hsu Shengzhe cursed in a low voice. After a while, he calmed down and said, "Director Hu, Director Ji, Director Chen … What do you mean?"
Hu Ming and the others looked at each other and communicated with their eyes for a moment. Then, Hu Ming concluded, "Manager Li's suggestion isn't impossible. Why don't we sit down and have a formal meeting? As for whether we can succeed in the end, that will depend on how we talk. Even if it doesn't work, it's fine. We can go our separate ways. It won't affect anyone. "
Hsu Shengzhe looked sullen. What did he mean by what General Manager Li said?
Did these bastards forget that he was the one who organized the association?
But when he saw Hu Xiaorui, Ji Lanxin, and the others, Hsu Shengzhe suddenly regretted it. He had underestimated the influence of these second generations on their parents.
Compared to cooperation and friendship, Ji Lanxin, Hu Xiaorui, and the others were obviously closer to Li Dong.
Previously, he thought that children should not be able to influence the decision of their parents. But now, it seemed that he was wrong.
Hu Ming was obviously building a stage for Li Dong. He should not have chosen to ask questions at this time!
Although Xu Shengzhe was regretting it, he did not show it. He pretended as if nothing had happened and said, "Alright then. It's getting late, and everyone hasn't prepared yet. Why don't we wait for a few days and get ready, then we'll have a formal gathering and settle the matters of the association?"
"Okay. Let's arrange it that way."
"Okay. Just let me know when the time comes."
"This matter will be organized by General Manager Li and Director Xu. We will listen to you."
"…"
Everyone agreed, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
Li Dong saw this and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He raised his eyebrows at Hsu Shengzhe.
Hsu Shengzhe ignored him and stood up. "Then let's go. It's getting late. Rest early."
"Chairman Xu too, then we'll take our leave first."
"Take care."
They exchanged greetings and Li Dong did not join in. He nodded to everyone and left with Shen Qian.
After he left, Hsu Shengzhe gritted his teeth. Li Dong, this bastard is here to ruin my plan again!
If I had known this would happen, I would not have invited him to join!
But this was just a thought. Without Li Dong joining, the influence of the association would not be as great. It would be almost useless.
