Li Dong's legendary empire had yet to be successfully built, but a bloodbath had arisen once again.
"A billionaire involved in a murder case!"
"The true face of a great philanthropist in the country!"
"A butcher's knife in one hand and a philanthropist in the other. A two-faced person!"
"A legend in the business world facing murder charges!"
"…"
The public was in an uproar. The onlookers were enraged. Countless onlookers shouted, "Punish the executioner!"
In just one day, people were talking about Li Dong on the Internet, in the newspapers, and on the streets.
This tycoon born in the 80s, a great philanthropist in the country, and a legend among the grassroots …
This series of reputations made Li Dong unknowingly become a celebrity. He became the target of envy and jealousy by countless people.
When Li Dong was still a legend, no matter how jealous everyone was, they could only be jealous.
However, when a legend was stained, this stain would be infinitely magnified.
As for who Tan Yong was?
No one cared!
Even if the other party wasn't accusing Li Dong, everyone selectively ignored him.
Especially when the title of philanthropist was attached to Li Dong's head, many people felt that it was particularly glaring and ironic.
At this moment, everyone had forgotten their initial exclamations and praises.
People were forgetful. Just like Mengniu in the future. When the melamine incident broke out, even if he was just an innocent bystander, others wouldn't mind adding insult to injury.
When Old Niu donated his shares, he was praised as a god-like figure.
However, this incident caused Old Niu to lose all his honor. He had no choice but to humbly seek help from others. If not for the support of others at the critical moment, Old Niu might not have been able to survive this ordeal.
Li Dong was almost the same. With the title of philanthropist, people would praise him very, very highly when there was nothing going on.
When there was trouble, these people would treat him with harsh moral standards and demand that he be trampled to death.
Of course, Li Dong didn't care about all this.
…
Far away from the building.
Countless reporters were blocking the entrance.
When Li Dong's car drove in, even though the security guards blocked the crowd, they couldn't stop the clamor of questioning.
Li Dong didn't get out of the car.
The reporters were shouting outside, "Mr. Li! Please give the public an explanation? As a well-known domestic entrepreneur and philanthropist, what do you think of this matter? "
"Mr. Li, as a public figure, shouldn't you give the public an explanation?"
"Mr. Li, regarding Zhu Hongtao's accusation of murder against your driver, can you reveal some details?"
"Will you be present at the hearing?"
"I heard that your chauffeur is still driving for you. You didn't choose to fire him or avoid suspicion. Does that mean that you have victory in your hands?"
"Mr. Li …"
Far away's security guards finally showed their strength amidst the surging emotions of the crowd.
Dozens of security guards formed a human wall with plastic sticks in their hands, blocking the media and onlookers outside.
Only then did Li Dong's car start up again and slowly drive into the park.
Li Dong turned a deaf ear to the clamor outside and continued to close his eyes to rest.
Tan Yong did not have his composure. When the car stopped, Tan Yong said tiredly, "General Manager Li, I …"
"Don't worry. Don't bother with these people. They are just a bunch of people looking for a sense of existence. Continue driving. If you are really tired, rest for a few days. You don't have to say anything during the hearing. Far away has a legal department. Are you afraid that we won't be able to win this case? "
Li Dong comforted him and patted Tan Yong's shoulder before getting out of the car and walking towards the building.
Along the way, many employees stopped to greet Li Dong when they saw him. Some of them could not help but sneak a few glances at him.
In just two days, their legendary boss had fallen into the teeth of the storm.
This was especially true in Jiangbei, Pingchuan, and other places that were rising in the distance. Li Dong's murder had become a hot topic of conversation.
At this point in time, nine out of ten people would know about Li Dong if you went out and asked anyone.
In the eyes of Jiangbei people, Li Dong was their pride and role model.
But when the news of Li Dong's involvement in the murder spread, the people who hated him the most were probably the people of Jiangbei.
Now many people were waiting for Li Dong to come forward and explain, but Li Dong did not say a word, as if he had tacitly agreed.
At this moment, many of the young people who had some expectations for him were disappointed.
It was these people's masterpiece that Li Dong was put on the pedestal. But when Li Dong was about to be beaten by everyone, it was these people who clamored the loudest.
Li Dong understood all of this in his heart, but he refused to show himself.
When Li Dong walked to the door of the office, Shen Qian was talking to Chen Ke. Seeing him coming, Shen Qian looked worried and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble downstairs?"
"I'm fine."
Li Dong shook his head and said as he entered the office.
Shen Qian hurriedly followed him in and said, "Come forward and explain. If this continues, it will affect your reputation too much. Zhu Hongtao and the rest don't have any evidence. If they really did, they would have accused you long ago. Now, they are only accusing Old Tan. It's best that you avoid talking to Old Tan. My words might not be pleasant to the ears, but if it really comes to a critical juncture, I hope you can put aside these personal feelings and focus on the overall situation. "
Li Dong glared at her and frowned. "Are you asking me to abandon a pawn to protect a rook? I did it once back then, and I won't do it again! Furthermore, I won't compromise blindly. I've schemed and schemed again and again. Am I, Li Dong, that easy to bully? Don't interfere in this matter, and don't get involved. It'll be more troublesome if you get involved. Your identity is different. Don't worry, I'll handle it well. I'm also letting the public opinion go. I want to blow this matter up. When the entire country knows about it and everyone's focus is on me, I'll counterattack! "
When Shen Qian heard that, she hurriedly said, "Do you have any countermeasures?"
Li Dong sneered and said, "It was a case of assault a few years ago, and it was originally an accident. No matter how much they concocted it, there won't be anything more. The only thing they can point at me is that they spent money to fish Old Tan out. However, no matter what, they don't dare to lift this lid! It's not like I, Li Dong, am the only one who is spending money to fish people out. Do you know how many people are affected? Once this cover is lifted, Zhu Hongtao and the others won't even need me to do anything. Someone will kill them. Therefore, if I don't lift this lid, what can they do to me? Let them continue jumping for a few more days. The higher they jump, the more painful it will be. I want to see how they will end up! "
"But it will affect you quite a bit after all …"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I didn't come to the company today for this."
Li Dong interrupted her and changed the topic. "You really don't want the shares?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and said, "No!"
"It's fine if you don't want it. It just happens to save a lot of trouble. If it is exposed that you have shares Far away, it will be even more troublesome."
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, Shen Qian said with a black face, "Li Dong, you bastard. Do you only know how to bully me!?"
Li Dong was speechless. "You don't want it yourself. I can't force you. What's the use of saying those polite words? Besides, your mother is involved in this matter. I don't want to continue fighting with her now. If it really breaks down, it will be difficult for you to be caught in the middle. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether the shares are under your name or under mine. If you really want it one day, I, Li Dong, will not say anything. I won't say any soft words. I don't treat you as an outsider now. There's nothing to be polite about. "
Shen Qian was so angry that she wanted to slap him to death!
Although she knew that even if Li Dong wanted to give her the shares, she would not accept it in the end.
But the feeling was different whether she said it or not.
Why was this bastard's EQ so low?
Would it kill you to say a few words to save face?
Why did he have to say it so forcefully? She was already holding back her anger. Now, she was even angrier.
After glaring at him for a few times, Shen Qian did not care about the report and turned to leave.
Before she could go out, she heard Li Dong say, "Wait!"
Shen Qian thought that he had found his conscience and was going to say a few soft words. Unexpectedly, Li Dong did not raise his head and said, "When you go down, ask Liu Hong to come up to see me. Also, the first anniversary of the mall's launch is coming soon. This anniversary celebration must …"
"Go to hell!"
Shen Qian finally exploded and said angrily, "Li Dong, you bastard, you are destined to be single for the rest of your life!"
Li Dong opened his mouth and waited for her to slam the door angrily. Then, Li Dong laughed and said, "The effect is not bad."
Ever since a few days ago, Li Dong pondered for a while and changed his approach.
Blindly giving in to a woman might not be satisfactory. In addition, with Shen Qian's character, if he continued to give in, the two of them would probably be in a deadlock.
Since that was the case, Li Dong was prepared to change his method and deliberately anger her.
Of course, this was based on the foundation that the two of them had feelings for each other. In other words, Shen Qian was not Far Away. Otherwise, Li Dong would not dare to do this.
He would let her be angry for a few days and then go back to giving in. After a few times, he would see the effect.
Just when Li Dong was thinking about the good things, the phone rang.
Looking at the phone number, Li Dong answered and asked, "What's wrong? Are you short of money? "
"It's not about this. You …" Zhang Lanyu was a little depressed. "You don't care about it at all?"
"You are talking about the case? It's not suing me. Why should I care about it? Alright, you don't have to comfort me. It's not necessary. "
"No, I just …" Zhang Lanyu became more and more depressed. After a while, she said, "I thought you would be flustered and exasperated. I was going to explain a few words, but now it seems that there is no need."
"What is there to explain? It is certain that the public opinion cannot be suppressed. I don't mean to blame anyone for this. You don't have to trouble Minister Zhang. It is not good. Moreover, the more the matter is suppressed, the more troublesome it will be. Let them spread it, but thank you for your kindness. "
"You're welcome. Since you said so, then I will not intervene. You be careful. They may have other actions in the future."
"En, I guessed it, but thank you for the reminder."
"That's it then. I'm hanging up."
After Zhang Lanyu hung up the phone, Li Dong touched his chin and pondered for a moment.
Not long after, Liu Hong entered the door.
Li Dong was too lazy to think about it anymore. He talked about the farm with Liu Hong.
He briefly described the model of the farm in his memory and compared it with his own farm. Li Dong talked for almost half an hour.
After the two finished talking, Li Dong said, "Do you think the farm should be called Far Away Farm or PP Farm?"
Liu Hong smiled and said, "I don't think this is a big deal …"
Li Dong shook his head and said, "No, this is not a big deal. The farm is just the beginning. The future Weibo and others, I am preparing to create a brand series. When people think of the farm, they will think of Far Away. When they think of Weibo, they will think of Far Away. At present, there are many bans on piracy in the country, especially when we have an old competitor. I have high hopes for the farm. If the original can't beat the pirated version, I will suffer a big loss. So I have to let everyone have a clear understanding that the farm is Far Away. Do you understand what I mean? "
After listening to Li Dong, Liu Hong suddenly nodded and said, "I understand. If that is the case, I think Far Away Farm is better …"
"But isn't Far Away Farm a bit too vulgar?"
Li Dong scratched his head and said, "Far Away Farm, Far Away Weibo, Far Away PP, it sounds a bit unpleasant. I'm afraid it will affect the dissemination."
Liu Hong shook his head and said, "As long as we promote it well, this is not a problem. Also, Faraway Group has a certain reputation in the country, and it is easier for the public to accept it. In this way, it is easy to form a group effect, and the effect may be better. In fact, the main thing is the product. As long as the product is good and the promotion is in place, everything else is not a problem. In this case, it will also help our other industries. "
"Then Far Away Farm. You go back and urge the technical team to change what I said as soon as possible."
"It's almost May Day. I hope to be online around June 1st."
Liu Hong said with a serious face, "I will do my best."
"Okay, then that's it. Also, arrange for Wang Junyu to participate and give him some actual combat opportunities. "
Liu Hong's eyes showed a touch of envy and nodded.
Li Dong didn't say anything more and waved his hand to send him away.
After that, Li Dong summoned a few more executives and assigned them some tasks.
Seeing that Li Dong was as calm as a mountain, the executives who were worried before calmed down.
This was also one of the reasons why Li Dong came to the company at this time. Although he was ready to fight back, now was not the time. However, the group still needed to stabilize.
If the internal people were in a panic, when he fought back, the loss would be too great.
Now that Li Dong was in the eye of the storm, he still came to the company to handle affairs. Far Away Farm's expansion was not delayed, and the executives were naturally relieved.
As for the grass-roots employees, as long as the salary was not bad, the development of the group was not in their consideration.
Even if Li Dong failed, it would not affect them much.
At most, they would change jobs. After all, they had worked in a large group, and it was not a technical or management job. There were plenty of grass-roots jobs.
Li Dong understood the mentality of the grass-roots employees, but he didn't care too much.
It would be extremely difficult for everyone to unite as one.
Unless he learned from Boss Ren and gave everyone some shares, it would be a dream to expect everyone to treat the group as their own.
And Li Dong didn't need to do this. In this day and age, there were many large companies without shares. As long as the salaries of the grass-roots employees were not reduced, these people would not have any other thoughts.
