After dinner, it was already past nine o 'clock in the evening.
Because he still had to send Chang Yueyue back, Li Dong did not stay for long. He was ready to leave after dinner.
Just as he was about to go out, Chang Yueyue suddenly pulled him and said, "Sister … Brother Dong, why don't we return the car to them?"
Li Dong glanced at her, then glanced at Hu Xiuzhu and Tang Chunhu, who were smiling beside her. He said with a faint smile, "What's wrong? Have you developed feelings for each other over a meal?"
Chang Yueyue mumbled, "Sister Xiuzhu and Tang Chunhu are quite pitiful …"
"Pitiful?"
Li Dong almost spat out his food. Which part of her thought that they were pitiful?
Did they lack money for a second-hand car that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan?
Needless to say, Hu Xiuzhu and Tang Chunhu must have tricked this girl.
After all, Chang Yueyue was young and inexperienced. A few hundred thousand yuan was probably a huge sum of money in her eyes.
However, she did not know that for Hu Xiuzhu and Tang Chunhu, a few hundred thousand yuan might not even be enough for them to spend a month.
What they cared about was not the car, but their pride.
Back in the capital, they had boasted that they would teach Li Dong a lesson sooner or later, and that they had to help Sister Manman regain her pride …
In the end, the two of them had said a lot of empty words. In the blink of an eye, they had been slapped in the face.
They had only been in Jiangbei for a few days, but they had even lost their car to Li Dong. How could they face others in the future?
Since Hu Ming had spoken, the two of them did not dare to refute, nor did they dare to talk to Li Dong about it.
After thinking about it, the two of them felt that Chang Yueyue was easy to fool, so they had pretended to be pitiful during dinner.
However, Chang Yueyue really fell for it, which was why she had said that to Li Dong.
Li Dong glanced at them and said calmly after a while, "We'll talk about it later. Let's drive the car for a few days first. We'll return it to you when we're satisfied."
When Chang Yueyue heard this, she didn't insist. Instead, she looked at Hu Xiuzhu and Xiao Luo with a grin. Obviously, she was bragging.
In her opinion, she wouldn't lose anything by driving it for a few days. She might even be able to satisfy her craving and return it to Hu Xiuzhu and the others.
However, this little girl did not know that at this moment, Hu Xiuzhu and Lin Fan were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.
Are they after the car?
What was a car? Just as Hu Xiuzhu said, she didn't need too many luxury cars in her garage. Who would care about this?
Unfortunately, the two of them couldn't say anything at this time. Seeing Chang Yueyue smiling at them, the two of them forced a smile back.
Li Dong didn't care about them. He looked at Hu Xiaorui and asked, "When are you going to finish the promotional campaign?"
Hu Xiaorui shook her head and said, "After the Sunan publicity, there will be no more publicity. The premiere will be at the Jiangbei Grand Theater on the 18th."
"So fast?"
Hu Xiaorui said gloomily, "In the past, I thought that a movie with a few million yuan investment should be quite good. But after coming into contact with this industry, I realized that a few million yuan is just a small production. When I went to Sunan to do the publicity, I happened to meet another movie that was also doing the publicity. In the end, there were a lot of celebrities and media there, while we only had a few kittens here. Everyone looked down on us. Previously, when we held the opening ceremony, the people in the industry were laughing at us. Now, everyone is waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. In that case, I won't do the publicity. Let's just release it directly. "
Seeing her depressed face, Li Dong said with a smile, "Don't care what others think, as long as you are happy. But since it's decided to be released, let it be released. In the future, invest in some big movies and suppress others' limelight. When that time comes, no one will laugh at you. "
Hu Xiaorui's anger dissipated as quickly as it came.
After Li Dong comforted her, the lass smiled and said, "That's right. Zhang Meng also said that it's our first time, so we don't need to care about what others think. Li Dong, let's make a few big movies next time for everyone to see! "
"I can't. I've been too busy recently …"
Before Li Dong finished speaking, Hu Xiaorui said unhappily, "You just said that you will continue to invest, and now you're going back on your word?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "It's not that I'm going back on my word. I really can't find the time to do this."
He had thought of setting up a film and television entertainment company in the past. After all, the film and television entertainment industry still had a great future and money in the next ten years.
But recently, Li Dong was a little mentally and physically exhausted. There were too many industries, so he was too lazy to do this.
After Li Dong finished speaking, Hu Xiaorui pouted and said, "It's all an excuse! You just don't want to continue working with me. It's boring. Since you don't want to do it, I don't want to either! "
After the girl finished speaking, she picked up her small bag and was about to leave. It seemed that she was a little angry.
Li Dong was a little helpless. He glanced at Hu Ming and his wife, who shrugged with a helpless expression.
Sun Yuee saw this and said with a chuckle, "Li Dong, why don't you help us? You don't have to worry about the funds. Just treat it as playing with Xiaorui. It's just an investment. You don't have to do too much. Just treat it as Hu Ming and I owe you a favor. What do you think? "
When Li Dong heard this, he looked at Hu Xiaorui, who was dawdling and refusing to leave. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay. Actually, I'm not saying that I don't want to cooperate. Anyway, how should I put it …"
Li Dong wanted to explain a little, but after thinking about it, he didn't say much. Instead, he said to Hu Xiaorui, "Since you like doing this, then continue doing it. But I suggest that you set up a film and television entertainment company. Making movies is not just about making movies. In fact, investing money like us is the stupidest, and the rate of return is also the lowest. The profit of a movie or TV series is actually not the main point. What we really need to do is the surrounding derivative industries, and the other is the IP focus effect. Film and television entertainment actually has a lot of potential. Time is tight today, so I won't say much. Anyway, if you are willing to continue doing it, I will continue with you. Don't be angry. "
Actually, Hu Xiaorui didn't care what he said. After he finished speaking, she smiled and said, "Then let's continue doing it. Isn't it just setting up a company? I got it. I will set up a company later."
"Okay. If I am not busy on the day of the premiere, I will go. Let's talk about it after the movie is released."
"Okay, got it."
…
Li Dong was not in a hurry to cooperate with Tengxiang.
After telling Yuan Chengdao about the matter, Li Dong didn't care about it anymore.
Sometimes, it was more appropriate for Yuan Chengdao to deal with this kind of matter. He was the CEO of the group, and he had to consider the interests of the company more.
Unlike Li Dong, sometimes he had to think about favors.
The cooperation with Tengxiang may affect the layout of Faraway Group in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and Li Dong would not act on his own.
…
March 7th, 18th of the first month.
Qin Yuhan had to board the flight to Beijing.
Even though she delayed it again and again, she had to leave now.
Her tutor called one after another. If it weren't for her excellent academic performance and delayed reporting at the beginning of school, asking for leave might not have worked.
After working hard for a few years, seeing that she was about to enter her senior year, Qin Yuhan was not willing to give up just like that.
Cao Feng's wedding ended, and there was nothing else to do in Pingchuan. Qin Yuhan rested for a day and rushed back to Beijing.
Pingchuan Airport.
Li Dong watched Qin Yuhan leave, and he couldn't help but think of the scene of sending off Yuan Xue a few days ago.
They were both parting. One was thousands of miles away, and the other was thousands of miles away.
In the past few years, the number of times he sent them off seemed to have increased.
Whether it was Yuan Xue or Qin Yuhan, Li Dong spent more time apart than together with them.
For business, for his career, sometimes Li Dong felt that he had missed a lot of things.
The best moments of his life may have passed in his busy life, and he didn't know if he would regret it in the future.
Regardless of whether he would regret it in the future, Li Dong had no time to think about these things at the moment.
As soon as Yuan Xue and Qin Yuhan left, the festive atmosphere completely dissipated.
After going home and packing a few clothes, Li Dong said to Cao Fang, "Mom, the house at the Provincial Party Committee Compound has been renovated. I will live there for a few days. Also, ask uncle to stay for a while. It's not easy to come to Pingchuan, so don't rush back. "
Cao Fang already knew that Li Dong was going to move out.
Seeing that Li Dong had packed his things, Cao Fang said reluctantly, "Don't worry about your uncle and the others. Can you live alone? If you can't, I will go over there and cook for you … "
Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, how old am I? You still treat me like a child. There are nannies over there, and I don't have many opportunities to eat at home. It's not like you don't know. Besides, it's not that far away. Don't look like you're reluctant to part with me. If I'm free, I will come back. It's not like I won't come back. "
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Cao Fang reprimanded him, and then said with relief, "Then take care of yourself outside. If you want to go home for dinner, call me. Don't forget."
"Got it. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Li Dong said to his grandmother, who was standing by the balcony, "Grandma, I'm leaving. I will come back to see you in a few days."
Li Dong's grandmother waved her hand casually and didn't speak.
Li Dong didn't care. He picked up his backpack and went out of the house.
…
Provincial Party Committee Compound.
The house here had been cleaned up. Tian Xiaoyu and Little Shitou moved in two days ago.
However, compared to Lanshan Villa, it was less lively and more peaceful.
Wang Jie and the others didn't move in. Now there were only two children and a nanny here.
When Li Dong arrived, there was no one at home.
The two children probably went to school. He didn't know if the nanny went to school or to buy groceries, so Li Dong didn't care much.
Going upstairs and entering the master bedroom, Li Dong threw his clothes on the bed and lay on the bed to think about things.
This year was destined to be a busy year. From the beginning of the year, Faraway Group had entered the track of rapid development.
However, many things were easier said than done. There was also the Sichuan side. Now he must speed up the progress. Time was getting tight.
As Li Dong was thinking about miscellaneous things, there was a knock on the door downstairs.
He looked out of the bedroom window and saw Shen Qian waving downstairs. "Come down and open the door. Why did you lock the door? I can't get in."
"I'm coming. How did you know I was here?"
"Open the door first!"
Li Dong didn't ask anymore and hurried downstairs to help Shen Qian open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Shen Qian said, "You're finally here. How is it? Are you used to it?"
Li Dong said, "I just came in less than an hour. It's hard to say whether I'm used to it or not."
"You will get used to it sooner or later."
Shen Qian smiled and walked straight into the house. Li Dong also hurried to follow.
