On the night of the 29th.
During dinner, Li Dong told her that he would be returning to Pingchuan the next day.
Qin Yuhan was silent for a moment. After a while, she smiled and said, "It's time to go back. You've been here for a week. I think it's about time for you to go back."
"I'll help you pack later. Have you booked the plane tickets?"
"Yes. The plane leaves at 10: 30 tomorrow."
"Then I'll drive you."
Li Dong nodded and did not refuse.
The three of them continued eating. After dinner, Qin Yuhan went into the room to help Li Dong pack his luggage.
Yang Yun said while clearing the table, "I see that the Wudaokou Shopping Plaza is about to open. Are you not going to leave until after the opening?"
Li Dong said softly, "It's too long. There's still at least half a month before the opening. The company is about to hold a New Year's Day celebration. I have to go back to attend. "
"Oh, business is more important."
Yang Yun echoed and then said, "By the way, when will the company's annual meeting be held this year?"
Li Dong shook his head and said, "It hasn't been decided yet, but it will probably be after the middle of next month."
As he spoke, Li Dong added, "There are more and more employees in the company now, unlike in the past. I remember during the annual meeting in 2004, it was just me, Brother Sun, Yun Na, and Xie Hong. At that time, we just sat down and chatted for a while. "
Yang Yun could not help but think of the days when she was Far away. She smiled and said, "Yes, we only had a few stores at that time. Now, it's more than a hundred times. I remember that in the first annual meeting, Xiao Qi won the annual bonus of 30,000, right? At that time, Xiao Qi was so happy and showed off to us all day long. Xie Hong and the others were so angry that they beat her up several times. Now that a few years have passed, Xiao Qi might not even be excited if we give her a year-end bonus of 3 million. "
Li Dong heard this and laughed. "It's hard to say. Even if she can't get 3 million this year, she should be able to get it next year."
This year, only a few stores had opened in Beijing-Tianjin and Qi Yunna could not get much money.
But next year, the stores in Beijing-Tianjin would open. As the regional president and vice chairman of the supermarket, Qi Yunna could get double dividends according to the standard of Far away.
One part was from Faraway Supermarket and the other part was from the group.
Li Dong was not joking about the dividend of three million yuan.
Yang Yun chuckled and said, "Money is nothing. The key is the sense of accomplishment. Last time, I met Xiao Qi at Wudaokou. Compared to before, he was a completely different person. Back then, she was just a country girl. Now that we meet again, I almost can't recognize her. Her temperament has changed too much. "
There was a hint of regret in Yang Yun's tone. It was not an act, but a genuine regret.
Who was Qi Yunna? In the past, she had merely been a vanguard under her command.
Back then, she was the financial manager of Distance Company and also the store manager of Dongping Store.
Su of Yunna of Su of Dong of. of of of Nan of.
After a few years, everything had changed.
Last time at Wudaokou, Qi Yunna had brought people to inspect the shops in the Wudaokou Shopping Plaza. Yang Yun was really envious of her imposing manner.
The person in charge of the community and the deputy mayor of Haidian District were all following Qi Yunna like subordinates, introducing the market environment to her.
At that time, Yang Yun was at the periphery of the crowd. She recognized Qi Yunna at a glance. However, Qi Yunna, who was surrounded by the crowd, did not notice her at all.
It wasn't envy or jealousy, but Yang Yun didn't feel good about it.
Originally, because Li Dong and her daughter were boyfriend and girlfriend, Yang Yun didn't care too much about it.
But in the past few days, something seemed to have happened between Li Dong and her daughter. At this time, Yang Yun couldn't help but think of what happened a few years ago.
If, if at that time, her daughter and Li Dong did not have a relationship, would she be like Qi Yunna now, enjoying the taste of a strong woman?
These thoughts flashed through, and Yang Yun soon extinguished them.
Everyone had their own opportunities. Some things were in the past, and thinking about it now would only add to her worries.
Li Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Qi Yunna has been working hard these few years."
"I feel it." Yang Yun did not deny Qi Yunna's efforts. She smiled and changed the topic, "Let's not talk about this. Go back tomorrow and bring the tonics and local specialties that I prepared. Old Qin and I don't have much time to visit your parents. Yuhan has to prepare for the exam recently, so I'm afraid she can't go back for the time being. "Bring some local specialties back and say hello to your parents for me and Yuhan."
Li Dong quickly nodded and said, "I'll bring the things. Thank you, Aunt Yang."
"Don't mention it. Do what you need to do. I'll go wash the dishes."
After Yang Yun entered the kitchen, Li Dong's face revealed a look of contemplation.
After sitting for a while, Li Dong got up and walked to the room.
In the room, Qin Yuhan was helping to pack the clothes. Seeing Li Dong enter the door, Qin Yuhan giggled and said, "What's wrong? You don't look well. Are you reluctant to leave me?"
"Yes."
Li Dong responded and walked forward to hug her from behind.
Qin Yuhan did not move. She let him hug her for a while before pushing him away in disgust and said, "Alright, stop messing around. I'm packing my things. Moreover, it's not far from winter vacation now. I'll be back soon. "
Li Dong smiled. Just when he was about to speak, his phone rang.
He glanced at the number and saw that it was Ren Hongbing.
After chatting for a while, Li Dong hung up the phone after a while. He thought about it and called Qi Yunna.
After a few simple words, Li Dong sighed and said, "There's really no free lunch in the world."
Qin Yuhan rarely asked about business matters, but Li Dong just called her. Qin Yuhan heard it and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Last time, a friend said that there was a piece of land in Zhongguancun that could be transferred to me. But today, he told me that the party committee didn't approve it. It's 40,000 square meters of industrial land. The original agreement was 30 million yuan. I was responsible for applying for the land use change. This price is not low, but he still did this to me. People can only rely on themselves. "
Li Dong sighed, but he was not too disappointed.
In fact, Ren Hongbing didn't approve it. He suspected that it had something to do with the previous banquet.
Li Dong brought Qin Yuhan to the banquet instead of Shen Qian. Perhaps in the eyes of an experienced person like Ren Hongbing, the relationship between Li Dong and the Du family had deteriorated.
In this case, Ren Hongbing naturally wouldn't take the risk to cooperate with Li Dong.
However, Li Dong really didn't take it to heart.
It was just 40,000 square meters of industrial land. 30 million yuan was actually not much different from the market price. If it was auctioned, it might be higher, but not by much. The difference was less than 5 million.
It was troublesome to change the land use, and he would have to make up for the difference. In short, if Ren Hongbing agreed, then Li Dong would probably spend about three or four million yuan less.
But did Li Dong care about this little money?
At that time, when Ren Hongbing said all this, he only agreed with the idea of making a friend.
Otherwise, Zhongguancun would not be Li Dong's goal.
But now, it also let Li Dong see people's hearts clearly. Sometimes, he still maintained his naive side.
If people were good to him, he would treat them as friends.
Ren Hongbing called him "brother" the last time, so Li Dong really wanted to make friends with him. But now it seemed that it was better not to make friends with this kind of business veteran.
When everyone had common interests, they could share a piece of the pie together.
As for sharing hardships, it could only be said that he was thinking too much.
Hearing Li Dong's lament, Qin Yuhan comforted him, "Don't be angry. What is yours is yours. If it isn't, it's useless to force it."
"That's true." Li Dong laughed and said, "My wife is right. But I'm not angry. It's not worth it."
"It's good that you're not angry. Oh yeah, why do you want to buy land in Beijing again?"
"Beijing is the capital. I'm planning to build a building to support the facade. Zhongguancun is actually nothing. I'm now eyeing the CBD. In a few years, when you shop in Beijing, you will be able to see our Far Away Plaza. "
Qin Yuhan listened and said, "Your business is getting bigger and bigger now."
Although she said that, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Yes, this guy's business is getting bigger and bigger. She originally thought that she could catch up with his footsteps, even if it was just a little bit closer.
But when she opened five small shops and was worried about the millions of loans, the man in front of her was already thinking about building a commercial plaza in Beijing.
Qin Yuhan did not know how much investment a commercial plaza in Beijing would cost, but she could roughly estimate it.
In the CBD, even if it was a little smaller, it would be less than 1 billion.
1 billion. The 5 million that she borrowed was not even a fraction of this number.
Qin Yuhan gently gritted her teeth. She was proud of this man, but she felt that she was not good enough.
For a moment, Qin Yuhan forgot to continue talking.
…
On December 30th, Li Dong boarded a flight to Pingchuan.
Coming out of the airport, Tan Yong said as he walked, "I found some information on Guohua Hu. He is the son of the chairman of Tianfeng Real Estate."
"Tianfeng Real Estate?"
"It's a medium-sized real estate company in Beijing. Guohua Hu is not the playboy that you think he is. Although the scale of his company, Hua An Film and Television, is not big, but in recent years, it has made many small stars popular. After making these stars popular, he did not do it to satisfy his personal interests, but mainly to break into some of the upper circles. The fact that he attended the banquet last time is proof of that. This person is actually quite tactful … "
Li Dong fell into deep thought. Sure enough, there were not many people in this world who were truly fools.
It was said that the rich second generation was a playboy and that they were domineering, but in fact, most of it was just a rumor.
Guohua Hu's performance last time, in Li Dong's opinion, was a typical playboy.
But now that he heard it, the other party was stronger than he thought.
A small entertainment company was not much, but in this day and age, snakes had their ways, and rats had their ways.
Many people in the upper-class circle had a sense of conquest and curiosity towards celebrities.
In other words, Guohua Hu was actually a pimp. His purpose was not to make money from the entertainment company, but to break into the upper circles of society.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong said again, "So, he does not have a powerful background?"
"From the information, I don't think so. But I can't rule out the people he befriended … "
"This is nothing to worry about." Li Dong smiled and said, "Since he does not have a powerful background, let's teach him a lesson. In this day and age, the young masters in Beijing are quite arrogant. My, Li Dong's, face is worthless, and anyone dares to step on it. "
After saying this, Li Dong no longer cared about Guohua Hu's matter.
Li Dong actually did not care about Guohua Hu's matter. After all, Qin Yuhan was not hurt, and she did not suffer any losses.
But the key was that Lu Yu had clearly mentioned his name, and the other party did not give him any face. This was a slap in the face.
In addition, because of Guohua, Qin Yuhan had suffered for a few days, so Li Dong did not want to let him go.
Now he was more mature than before. At least he knew to check the background before taking care of people.
If it was a descendant of a big shot, then Li Dong would first consider whether it was worth it to fall out with him.
But a medium-sized real estate company in Beijing did not have such a big face.
Even if Li Dong took care of the other party, the others could not say anything. After all, Guohua did not give him face first, and Li Dong was also a big shot in the business world.
It was fine if the older bigwigs just laughed it off.
But Li Dong was young. Everyone could understand that young people were hot-tempered. Even if it was spread, the others would just laugh it off and not say anything about it.
After talking about Guohua Hu, Tan Yong briefly talked about Xu Ying.
She was an artist from a small company. Li Dong did not say much. She was just a small celebrity.
He would ask Hu Xiaorui to dig her out and freeze her for a few years. That would be considered a punishment.
People had to be responsible for what they did. Even Li Dong was no exception.
Soon, Li Dong felt that his retribution had come.
…
Outside the airport.
Shen Qian leaned against the car and said with a smile, "What are you waiting for? Get in the car!"
Li Dong scratched his head and said, "Why are you here?"
"What's the matter? Are you not happy to pick me up?"
"No, no, I mean …"
Halfway through his sentence, Li Dong could not be bothered to continue.
News of his return was not a secret, but he did not ask Shen Qian to pick him up. He did not expect Shen Qian to drive over personally.
Without asking any more questions, Li Dong got into Shen Qian's car.
Tan Yong was just about to get in when Shen Qian said with a smile, "Old Tan, get in the company car. My car is too small. It's a little crowded with three people."
Tan Yong threw a sympathetic look at Li Dong and then obediently got into the car behind.
As for the car being too small, Tan Yong could not refute that excuse. He just took it as CEO Shen praising him for his strong physique.
Li Dong rolled his eyes. What's there to be sympathetic about!
She's just a woman. How can she eat me, Li Dong?
Although he thought about it, Li Dong was still a little nervous. Women nowadays were all cunning.
They all hid everything in their hearts. Even if they wanted to eat each other, they still had a sweet smile on their faces.
Even Qin Yuhan, that little white rabbit, was now showing signs of turning into a big bad wolf.
As for Shen Qian, the sweeter she smiled, the more trouble Li Dong felt he was in.
Without giving him time to think, Shen Qian slammed the car door and then said with a smile, "Are you going back to the Provincial Party Committee Compound or the company?"
"To the Dongfang Fishing Village!"
Li Dong said hurriedly and praised himself for being quick-witted.
I'm going to visit my parents. You're too embarrassed to teach me a lesson, right?
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qian nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, back to the Provincial Party Committee Compound. Fasten your seat belt."
Li Dong: "…"
