When one was busy, time passed quickly.
When people were free, Li Dong felt that time passed too quickly.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived on the 12th.
Although he wanted to continue lying in the courtyard, basking in the sun and reading the newspaper, it was Hu Xiaorui's birthday today. Li Dong had promised to go, so he couldn't be absent.
After tidying up, Li Dong's car stopped in front of the Hu family's house at seven o 'clock sharp.
…
At the entrance of the villa.
Hu Ming was chatting with a guest.
Today was Hu Xiaorui's birthday, and Hu Ming didn't make it too sensational.
However, the Hu family doted on their daughter and invited many friends and relatives to celebrate their daughter's birthday. They also invited some celebrities.
There weren't many people, but their status wasn't low.
When Li Dong got out of the car, he saw the people chatting at the entrance of the courtyard.
Hsu Shengzhe, Bai Yue Qin, Zhou Lele, and Zhang Lanyu were all from the younger generation.
He didn't see any old people, and he didn't know if they went in or if they weren't invited.
When Li Dong's car stopped, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Hsu Shengzhe waited for him to get out of the car and smiled. "Li Dong, you're always the last to arrive. You really think you're the last one."
Li Dong rolled his eyes and couldn't be bothered with him. He looked at Hu Ming and smiled. "Uncle Hu, there's a traffic jam on the way. Where's Xiaorui?"
"Xiaorui is inside. She was just complaining that you weren't here yet."
Hu Ming smiled like the Maitreya Buddha. When he was about to chat with Li Dong, Hu Xiaorui's excited voice came from behind.
"Li Dong is here? Where is he? "
Along with the voice, Hu Xiaorui, who was dressed splendidly, ran out.
Hu Ming's face twitched. What a sharp nose! You already knew the moment the surnamed Li arrived. Your old man had been greeting guests outside for half a day, but you didn't come out to take a look.
However, at this time, Hu Xiaorui had no time to care about her father. When she saw Li Dong outside, she immediately smiled and said, "Li Dong, you're here."
After saying that, Hu Xiaorui subconsciously looked at his hands. They were empty!
Hu Xiaorui blinked and looked behind Li Dong.
After some thought, she walked around Li Dong and ran to the Maybach to take a look.
Tan Yong, who was in the car, quickly opened the door and said with a smile, "Miss Hu, happy birthday."
"Thank you, Brother Tan."
Hu Xiaorui replied with a grin, then poked her head into the car to take a look.
Tan Yong was a little confused. What was the young miss of the Hu family doing?
Not only was he confused, but the others were also confused. What was going on?
Only Li Dong could roughly guess the reason, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, Hu Xiaorui also saw the inside of the car clearly. It was empty. There was nothing!
No gift!
Li Dong really didn't prepare a gift for me!
Hu Xiaorui suddenly felt that her eyes were a little dry, and she couldn't help but sniffle.
Was he an idiot?
Was her hint not obvious enough, and he really didn't hear it?
Her originally high spirits suddenly wilted. Hu Xiaorui walked back with her mouth pouted and said listlessly, "Why is there nothing?"
The others were confused. Hu Ming couldn't help but cough and said, "Xiaorui, the guests are all here tonight. Stop fooling around."
"I'm not fooling around."
Hu Xiaorui pouted, looking a little wronged.
He said that he would give me a truck full of flowers, but there wasn't even a flower bud.
She looked at the road at the door again unwillingly. It was empty. Hu Xiaorui completely gave up. This guy was really an idiot. He didn't prepare any gift.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Li Dong didn't dare to continue watching. He quickly smiled and said, "Xiaorui, happy birthday."
"Oh."
Hu Xiaorui responded listlessly. She was a little sad.
Especially when she saw Li Dong smiling so widely that his teeth were showing. At this time, the little girl really wanted to go up and punch him. Why was he so stupid?
I said I didn't want a gift, and you really didn't want one!
And I also said that I wanted a truck full of flowers. Didn't you hear it?
At this moment, she seriously doubted Li Dong's IQ.
Li Dong, whose IQ was doubted, was also a little funny at this moment. He held back his laughter and said, "Xiaorui, the gift is ready. But it will take some time to ship it over. It will be here soon. "
Hu Xiaorui, who was originally depressed, suddenly became spirited.
Before the others could understand, Hu Xiaorui pulled Li Dong's arm and said in surprise, "Is it true? When will it arrive? Is it the gift I want? "
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Old Hu, who was next to him, finally understood why his daughter was unhappy.
However, seeing that his daughter was so selfless and only had eyes for this kid surnamed Li, Old Hu couldn't help but feel jealous.
With a dry cough, Old Hu scolded, "Xiaorui, what are you doing? The guests are here. You don't even greet them when you see them. Let go! "
Hu Xiaorui stuck out her tongue and let go of Li Dong's hand. She looked at the others and greeted them with a smile, "Sister Lanyu, Sister Lele, Sister Bai, Brother Xu …"
"Cough!"
Hsu Shengzhe was speechless. When you see Li Dong, it's like you see an angel. When you see me, you have this expression. Are you worthy of me?
Hsu Shengzhe was too lazy to argue with this girl. He glanced at Li Dong with a faint smile and looked at Hu Xiaorui. "Xiaorui, what gift did Li Dong prepare for you?"
"It's a secret!"
Hu Xiaorui snorted proudly, and the others couldn't help but laugh.
Hsu Shengzhe was a little embarrassed. This brat, I knew that nothing good would come out of meeting her.
At this time, Hu Ming didn't continue to stand outside the door. Li Dong was the last guest. Shen Qian had called a long time ago and said that she didn't have time to come.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hu Ming smiled and said, "Everyone, go in. Don't stand on ceremony. This time, everyone is from the same family. It's almost like a family banquet …"
As they spoke, Hu Ming led the group into the villa.
Although the Hu Family's villa wasn't as spacious and grand as the Xu Family's old mansion, it wasn't small.
At the entrance of the villa was a large lawn. At this time, there were a few people standing in groups of two or three.
There weren't many people. Including Li Dong and the others, there were about twenty people.
Seeing Li Dong and the others enter the door, many people turned to look at them.
Sun Yue-er, who was talking to the guests, saw Li Dong and the others walk over. She smiled and walked over. Just as she was about to greet them, someone beside her suddenly screamed, "Li Dong!"
"Auntie, why did you let him come!"
"Dad, last time, he was the one who slapped me and said that he would strip me …"
The scream wasn't soft. There weren't many people, so it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, Li Dong also looked in the direction of the scream. In fact, he didn't need to look to know who it was.
Sun Manman.
She was Sun Wenhua's daughter. Last time, he had slapped her several times in the capital.
He didn't expect that this time, Sun Wenhua and his daughter would also come. It seemed that the Sun Family valued the Hu Family a lot.
It was just a small birthday, so it wasn't strange for Sun Manman to come. However, Sun Wenhua was a busy man. For him to specially come at this time, it was clear that the Sun Family didn't neglect the Hu Family at all.
Sun Manman probably became a lot bolder when she saw that her father and aunt were by her side.
After screaming for a while, she immediately complained to Sun Wenhua. In the end, Sun Manman's face and neck were red. She said, "Dad, do you care about this? This bastard …"
Sun Wenhua frowned. In fact, he didn't expect that Li Dong would come.
He also didn't expect that his daughter would suddenly mention this matter at this time.
This matter was already in the past. Everyone pretended that it didn't happen.
He thought that his daughter had learned her lesson last time and wouldn't dare to provoke Li Dong again. He didn't expect that he had overestimated his daughter's endurance.
In the past, when the elders in the family weren't around, Sun Manman was a little scared when she saw Li Dong.
Today, her father, aunt, and uncle were here. In her opinion, would Li Dong dare to hit her at this time?
She would never forget the shame of being slapped by Li Dong for the rest of her life.
When the word "bastard" came out, many people frowned. Sun Wenhua's face also turned red. He shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
Sun Manman was stunned. Her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.
Sun Wenhua glared at her fiercely and looked at Li Dong. He saw that Li Dong's face was full of smiles, as if he was just watching a monkey show. He wasn't moved at all.
On the other hand, his sister and brother-in-law's faces were a little gloomy, especially Sun Yuee. If it wasn't for the occasion, she would probably have flipped out.
On the Sun family's side, although Sun Wenhua's status wasn't low, Sun Wenhua was almost 50 years old and was still in the main hall.
Seeing that Sun Wenhua couldn't support the Sun family's big scene, Sun Yuee and Hu Ming's business was getting bigger and bigger. The big shots they befriended even exceeded the Sun family's boundaries.
At this time, Sun Yuee's status in the Sun family was actually higher than Sun Wenhua's.
Sun Yuee was very clear about the reason why Li Dong and Sun Manman had a conflict.
His niece called his daughter a fool, so Li Dong slapped her.
When Sun Yuee knew about this, she only wanted to say that it was a good slap. If it wasn't for her status, she also wanted to teach this reckless girl a lesson.
Finally, this matter passed, and Sun Yuee didn't continue to pursue it.
She didn't expect Sun Manman to start looking for trouble again on her daughter's birthday.
She glared fiercely at Sun Wenhua, then smiled at Li Dong and said, "Li Dong, I'm sorry. She doesn't know what's important. Don't mind her."
Li Dong laughed and said, "It's fine. I just didn't expect Director Sun to come today. Hello, Director Sun."
In the past, Sun Wenhua could still put on airs in front of Li Dong, but things were different now.
Li Dong had become one of the top ten richest people in the country. Far away, his business was spread all over the country, and his network of connections was very deep.
Most importantly, Old Du had entered the capital.
The Sun family's old man had completely retired, but Old Du had entered the capital to take charge of the capital government.
Although he was under the jurisdiction of a department directly under the central government, he was several levels lower than Old Du. If Old Du really wanted to make things difficult for him, he couldn't avoid it.
Now that Li Dong had greeted him, even though his tone was not very respectful, Sun Wenhua didn't have the mood to be calculative. He looked at Li Dong with mixed feelings and forced a smile. "General Manager Li is here too. Manman has been spoiled since she was young. General Manager Li, please don't mind what happened just now."
Li Dong laughed and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Children are all like this. Besides, I was in the wrong in the past. I didn't know how to control my strength. I should be the one apologizing. "
Li Dong's words sounded like an apology, but Sun Wenhua felt worse than eating sh * t.
He really didn't want to mention this now, especially when Sun Yuee glared at him. Obviously, they were still unhappy about this matter.
The Sun family was now declining and in urgent need of financial support.
Although the country wasn't like overseas, where financial groups controlled politics.
But without money, how could you maintain the survival of your faction?
Without money, how could you control yourself and not reach out?
Without money, did the Sun family really expect a fixed salary to support themselves?
At that time, the Sun family didn't expect Hu Mingyuan and his wife to develop so quickly and even quickly get out of their control.
Hu Mingyuan was fine in Jiangbei, but Sun Yuee was like a fish in water in Beijing. Tengxiang Group was getting bigger and bigger. Especially after taking over the channel business Far away, it was in the limelight.
At this time, Old Man Sun retreated.
Sun Yuee was almost completely out of the Sun family's control. Otherwise, Sun Wenhua wouldn't have come to celebrate Hu Xiaorui's birthday in person.
Previously, he wanted to get close to them. After all, they were all family.
But now that his daughter had caused trouble, Sun Wenhua suddenly felt melancholy. It was good that they didn't become enemies.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have brought this girl here. At first, he wanted to let the cousins build a good relationship, but now it seemed that it was just his wishful thinking.
Not to mention Sun Wenhua's feelings at this moment, Sun Manman, who was stopped by Sun Wenhua before, also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
Her father didn't seem to be as powerful as she thought, and Li Dong wasn't afraid of her father at all.
As for her aunt, Sun Manman secretly glanced at Sun Yuee and saw that Sun Yuee's eyes were sharp. She didn't know if she was looking at her, but Sun Manman felt afraid.
Her father, who was extremely powerful in her heart, didn't work, and her aunt didn't say anything. Sun Manman suddenly became listless.
She was really afraid of Li Dong.
Not to mention that she was beaten by him last time, when Li Dong gambled in the club, he wasn't afraid of Han Yu and the others at all.
Even in the end, Han Yu and the others didn't dare to say anything even though they lost everything.
Those people were more powerful than her, but they couldn't do anything to Li Dong. How could she dare to continue to shout?
Sun Manman was listless, and this matter was over.
Li Dong and the others didn't take Sun Manman seriously. Not to mention Li Dong, even Hsu Shengzhe, Zhang Lanyu, and the others didn't think much of this woman.
Sun Wenhua was still considered a person, and he had a little deterrent power in Jiangbei.
But no one was a government official, and their business couldn't reach the capital. Who was afraid of him?
Zhang Lanyu's father was a government official, but a provincial official wasn't someone that Sun Wenhua could touch unless he had concrete evidence.
Old Man Sun had completely retired. At this time, it was hard to say if Sun Wenhua could keep his position, so everyone naturally didn't pay much attention to him.
This small episode was quickly forgotten by everyone. Tonight, the father and daughter weren't the main characters.
The people who came today were giving face to Hsu Ming and Sun Yuee, not the Sun Family.
The Sun Family didn't have the ability to intervene in Jiangbei. Most of the people present were business tycoons of Jiangbei. Not many of them were afraid of the Sun Family.
When Hsu Ming held Hu Xiaorui's hand and walked up to the stage, everyone's attention shifted to the father and daughter of the Hu Family.
They were the main characters tonight. Even Hu Xiaorui deserved more attention than Sun Manman.
