The weather in June changed suddenly.
A moment ago, the sun was shining brightly, and the next moment, it was covered with dark clouds.
Half an hour later.
Global Building.
By the time Li Dong arrived, the sky was already drizzling.
After getting out of the car, Tan Yong hurriedly took an umbrella and came over. Li Dong looked up at the sky and said, "The rainy season is here."
Tan Yong echoed, "The weather has been too stuffy these days. It's good to have some rain."
"I hope the rain isn't too heavy. I'm afraid there will be floods on both sides of the Jianghuai River this year."
Tan Yong didn't know how to respond and didn't say anything for a while.
Li Dong sighed and didn't continue.
Floods were natural disasters. Moreover, Du Anmin and Qin Hanyuan had talked about flood control before, so there was no need for Li Dong to worry about it.
He was afraid that the two of them would be careless and not make any mistakes when Du Anmin left.
As the two of them were talking, a middle-aged security guard walked over with a slightly suspicious look.
When he saw Li Dong's appearance clearly, the middle-aged security guard was surprised and said, "General Manager Li, you're really here!"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Old Zhang, what are you still doing here?"
Old Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "General Manager Li, look at what you're saying. I'm just a nobody. What else can I do besides being a security guard?"
Li Dong chuckled and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He took one out and threw the rest to Old Zhang and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Let's have a smoke and talk."
Old Zhang hurriedly took the cigarette and took out one to sniff it. He said with a look of infatuation, "General Manager Li's cigarettes are really fragrant. To be honest, after you moved away, I was the one who was most reluctant to part with you. In the past, I could still get some of your good cigarettes. After you left, my appetite became picky and I can't even pick up the smell when I smoke. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "This is a good thing. It just happened to help you quit smoking."
Old Zhang also laughed. After laughing, he said, "CEO Li, did you come back today for something?"
"Yes, I have something to take care of."
Old Zhang didn't ask what it was. After being a security guard for so many years, he still had a sense of propriety.
After chatting with Li Dong for a while and seeing that Li Dong had finished smoking, Old Zhang hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, if you have something to do, please go ahead. You can park your car here. I will help you keep an eye on it. I won't let anyone touch it. Later, I will bring a rain cloth to help your car block the rain."
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "There's no need to trouble yourself. I'll be down in a bit. I can wash the car for free."
Hearing Li Dong say this, Old Zhang smiled and responded.
After Li Dong left, Old Zhang lamented, "A big shot is indeed a big shot. He doesn't put on any airs at all."
At this time, a young security guard came over and asked suspiciously, "Old Zhang, who was that just now?"
"You don't know him?"
The young security guard scratched his head and said, "How would I know? It's not like you don't know. I've only been here for a few days."
Old Zhang pointed to the Maybach in front of him and said, "You don't know this car either?"
The young security guard was even more puzzled and asked curiously, "What kind of car is this? It looks quite grand. Is that guy rich?"
Old Zhang was completely speechless. He said unhappily, "You're just a security guard for your entire life. You're not even a competent security guard!"
In Jiangbei, it was really unreasonable to say that you didn't know Li Dong, especially for young people.
Li Dong might not be that famous in the country, but in Jiangbei, he was a legend.
His picture could often be seen in the newspapers, on television, and on the Internet.
It was fine if you didn't know the famous Li Dong, but as a security guard, you should at least know the logo of a luxury car, right?
In the end, you didn't know anything. Don't provoke someone you shouldn't provoke one day without knowing anything.
The young security guard was a little unhappy when he heard this. He said, "Old Zhang, what are you saying? I'm just unlucky. If I were lucky …"
"It's useless even if you're lucky!"
Old Zhang scoffed. Capable people didn't just rely on luck.
Without true ability, having luck was useless.
Opportunities were for those who were prepared. If you didn't even prepare, are you really waiting for a pie to fall from the sky?
Meeting Li Dong was actually an opportunity. Old Zhang believed that if he really had some ability, he could show it in front of Li Dong and then jump ship to Far away. He would definitely have a bright future.
However, he was old and didn't have any other abilities. Naturally, he gave up on this extravagant hope.
However, this guy in front of him was still young. In the end, he missed such a good opportunity. In the end, he was still complaining about his bad luck. Who else could he blame?
…
Li Dong didn't know about the conversation between the two security guards. If he knew, Li Dong would definitely agree with Old Zhang's opinion.
Opportunities were for those who were prepared.
Being a security guard didn't mean that he had to be a security guard for the rest of his life.
It was hard to say for others like Li Dong, but in the retail industry, there was a legend of a security guard turning the tables.
The previous boss of Xinyijia was a security guard. He was also from Jiangbei. In the end, he went from a security guard to a boss. This was ability.
Sometimes, opportunities passed by inadvertently. Those who were capable would be able to grab it. Those who weren't capable wouldn't even know they missed it.
For example, at this moment, someone seized this opportunity.
…
Yang Xin was a newly signed artist of East Star Entertainment. She wasn't famous in the past. She mainly played small roles.
This time, she was signed by East Star. Although she knew that East Star was just an inconspicuous small entertainment company.
However, before signing the contract, Yang Xin knew that East Star had shares in Jiangbei's legendary figure, Li Dong.
Who was Li Dong?
He was a famous tycoon. Even if the entertainment company he invested in was not famous now, it didn't mean that it would not be famous in the future.
Therefore, when East Star was recruiting people, many people were unwilling to come. However, she didn't hesitate to sign a long-term contract with East Star.
Even if the company didn't have any scripts or creations, even if she was so free that she could only serve people tea, Yang Xin didn't regret it at all.
In the blink of an eye, the days of serving tea and water had passed for more than a month.
Some people in the company began to regret it, but Yang Xin firmly believed that there would definitely be opportunities as long as she persisted.
Sure enough, the opportunity came one day!
When she saw Li Dong for the first time, Yang Xin recognized him!
As a shareholder of the company, although Yang Xin hadn't seen Li Dong in person, Li Dong's photos could be found on the Internet and in the newspaper. She had seen them more than once.
When others were still chatting lazily, Yang Xin hurriedly got up and greeted, "General Manager Li, you are here. President Hu is in the office. I will inform her. "
Li Dong was a little baffled. "Do you know me?"
Yang Xin hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, you are the boss of the company. I especially admire you and have seen your photos many times."
Li Dong laughed. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly looked at her with some doubts. The more he looked at Li Dong, the more familiar he felt. After a while, Li Dong asked, "What is your name?"
"My name is Yang Xin, an artist that the company has just signed."
When Yang Xin heard Li Dong ask for her name, she suddenly became happy and hurriedly reported her name.
Then she was afraid that Li Dong would forget her, so Yang Xin said, "General Manager Li shouldn't know me. I used to play some minor roles most of the time. But I used to play … the third female lead in a TV series … "
Yang Xin said the name of a TV series. Li Dong had a vague impression of it, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
It didn't matter if he couldn't remember it clearly. When Yang Xin reported her name, Li Dong finally knew why he felt familiar.
This Yang Xin, he knew her.
In the future, she would be considered a moderate celebrity and had acted in a lot of TV shows.
Although she was a supporting role most of the time, her acting skills were good. In his previous life, when Li Dong watched TV, he saw the TV series she acted in.
However, because she wasn't a big shot, Li Dong forgot what her real name was.
It wasn't until Yang Xin mentioned it that Li Dong had some impression.
He glanced at the others and saw that no one was paying attention to him. Li Dong couldn't help but laugh. This woman's eyesight is first-class.
Without continuing to say more, Li Dong nodded and said, "Then you take me to President Hu's office to see."
"Okay, General Manager Li, please come with me."
Yang Xin hurriedly responded and led Li Dong to Hu Xiaorui's office.
…
When Hu Xiaorui saw Li Dong, she wasn't as excited as imagined. Instead, she said unhappily, "You still know to come. I thought you forgot that you are also the boss of the company!"
Li Dong touched his nose and said helplessly, "You also know that I'm very busy …"
"You only know how to find excuses!"
Hu Xiaorui murmured. After a while, she smiled and said, "Forget it. I forgive you."
After greeting Li Dong to sit down, Hu Xiaorui looked at Yang Xin and said, "You, what's your name?"
Yang Xin didn't mind that Hu Xiaorui forgot her name. After all, although there weren't many famous artists in East Star, there were still many newcomers.
Hu Xiaorui was a muddle-headed person. It was normal for her to forget herself.
When she heard Hu Xiaorui's question, Yang Xin immediately said, "President Hu, my name is Yang Xin."
"Yang Xin, right? Okay, I will remember it."
Hu Xiaorui nodded and said, "You go out and ask the secretary to make two cups of coffee for me."
"Okay, then I will go out first."
Yang Xin didn't rush to perform at this time. The boss remembered her. As for making coffee, she couldn't steal the boss's secretary's job.
When she left, Li Dong smiled and said, "You have a good eye. You can praise her later."
Hu Xiaorui said casually, "You are also the boss. You have the final say. It just so happens that the company has accepted a few scripts recently. I will arrange one for her later. "
Li Dong nodded and didn't say much.
He just mentioned it a little. There was no need to participate too much in this.
After talking about Yang Xin's matter, Li Dong asked, "How are things here recently?"
Hu Xiaorui was a little unhappy and said, "It's not good. There are too few artists. When many people hear our company's name, they don't even want to talk about it. They directly refuse. Moreover, I don't know much about these, and I can't get any good scripts. The company has been open for so many days, and only Yang Si introduced a few small scripts to us. It's quite boring. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "It's normal. After all, it's just the beginning. Didn't you say that you would sign a few big stars? You didn't even negotiate with one? "
"I did negotiate with a few, but the key is that the price is too high. It's fine if the price is high. It's not like I don't want to pay. But they still want to buy shares, and the shares are not low. If I really agree, and three to five stars come, I will become a worker. I won't do it! "
Hu Xiaorui looked dissatisfied, but Li Dong was not surprised.
