During lunch, Shen Qian casually mentioned Shen Jianmin's invitation.
Shen Hang, who was at the side, hurriedly said, "Brother Dong, it's just a meal. Let's get to know each other. After all, you and my sister … "
Shen Hang paused for a moment before continuing, "Right? We have to get to know our family. It's not too late. Let's get together while you're still in Jingcheng."
Li Dong glanced at Shen Qian, not knowing what Shen Qian meant.
Shen Qian didn't say anything. Her silence was obviously a tacit agreement.
The Shen Family was her mother's family. Her uncles and aunts were all there.
Shen Qian might not be very close to the Shen family, but don't forget that her surname is Shen.
Although the Shen Family was not good to her, they were still very kind to her.
Before her grandfather left, he had given her 5% of the Shen Group's shares.
Whether it was for the sake of Du Anmin or because they really doted on Shen Qian, at least the previous generation of the Shen family did not let Shen Qian down.
As for the next generation, even if they weren't close, they weren't enemies.
There is an old saying that goes, the maternal uncle is the most important.
In ancient times, the status of an uncle was very high. Shen Jianmin was her biological uncle. Although this concept had gradually faded, she still had to give him face by having a meal together.
Seeing this, Li Dong nodded and said, "Alright, you guys decide when is suitable. I won't be staying in Beijing for too long."
"What do you think about tomorrow night?" Shen Hang said hurriedly.
"Alright, tomorrow night it is. I'll be there then."
Li Dong immediately agreed, and Shen Hang immediately smiled like a flower.
Li Dong glanced at him. This guy looked like he was really convinced this time.
In the past, she would stutter and reluctantly call him "Brother Li".
Now, "Brother Dong" this and "Brother Dong" this and "Brother Dong" this and "Brother Dong" this and "Brother Dong" this and "Brother Dong" that.
Without strength, would the Shen family take the initiative to invite Li Dong over for a meal?
If he didn't have the strength, would Shen Hang be so polite to him?
Without strength, Li Dong probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Shen Family's door.
The weak have no human rights. This principle has never changed since ancient times.
At this moment, Li Dong's comprehension deepened. Indeed, many problems were no longer problems when one was strong enough.
Back then, Wu Yajun had told him that when one's strength reached a certain level, there were some things that one didn't even need to consider.
Now that Li Dong was stronger than the Shen family, the Shen family had to lower their proud heads.
If one day …
Li Dong didn't think about it anymore, but he was determined to continue expanding.
This year was a rare opportunity. So far, whether or not they could establish the foundation of commercial aircraft carriers depended on this year.
If successful, Faraway Group would not be weaker than any other company in the future.
…
After dinner, Shen Hang left first.
His purpose today was to invite Li Dong to his house for dinner. Since Li Dong agreed, his mission was accomplished.
Moreover, he didn't dare to continue being a third wheel. Didn't he see that the two of them were looking at him strangely?
As soon as Shen Hang left, Li Dong and Shen Qian were much more relaxed.
Holding Shen Qian's hand, they strolled on the afternoon street. The sunlight warmed their bodies.
The temperature in Beijing wasn't high in the first month, but it wasn't as cold as imagined.
After walking for a while, Li Dong said, "Should I visit Uncle and Auntie at your house tomorrow?"
Shen Qian smiled and nodded gently. "Okay, I will pick you up tomorrow."
Li Dong didn't refuse and continued to shop with her.
As they walked, an acquaintance walked towards them.
In Beijing, Li Dong found that the probability of meeting acquaintances seemed to be very high.
Zhou Yue was shopping with a young man in his late twenties. When she saw Li Dong, she subconsciously glanced at Li Dong and Shen Qian holding hands.
Just as Li Dong was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly realized that there was no need for him to feel guilty in front of Zhou Yue.
He didn't let go of their hands, and Zhou Yue didn't continue to stare there. She nodded at Li Dong and Shen Qian and said, "Li Dong, Miss Shen, do you want to join us?"
Zhou Yue had never spoken much, so Li Dong didn't mind. He smiled and shook his head. "I won't disturb you. Let's have a meal together next time."
Shen Qian also said politely. She glanced at the two people opposite her with a strange look in her eyes.
Zhou Yue didn't respond. Since they weren't going together, there was no need to be polite.
Zhou Yue smiled politely at the two of them. She didn't introduce the man beside her and took the initiative to take the man's hand and leave.
The young man also smiled gently at the two of them before leaving with Zhou Yue.
After they left, Shen Qian asked curiously, "You know her?"
"You mean Zhou Yue?"
"Yes."
"I know her."
Li Dong didn't say that she was Qin Yuhan's roommate, and Shen Qian didn't know about Zhou Yue's existence before.
However, Shen Qian quickly guessed that Zhou Yue was studying at the Capital University. She heard people say that Zhou Yue was studying at the Capital University.
Not minding this, Shen Qian said with a slightly serious expression, "The Zhou family isn't like the Shen family or the Sun family. The Zhou family is a real distinguished family. Zhou Yue's grandfather is still in power, and her father has also gone to another place to take the position of the governor. One of Zhou Yue's uncles is also a deputy governor in the south. The Zhou family has more than ten ministers. Compared to the Zhou family, it's not an exaggeration to say that my father is a grassroots. "
Li Dong knew a little before, but he didn't know as much as Shen Qian. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "So strong? How does it compare to the Shi family and the Jia family? "
The Shi family was Shi Guanglin's family, and the Jia family was Jia Wenhao's family.
These two families were very strong.
Sometimes, it could be seen from the younger generation.
If they weren't strong, they wouldn't be able to groom a successor.
Whether it was Jia Wenhao or Shi Guanglin, they were the cream of the crop among the younger generation.
Especially Jia Wenhao. Although he didn't show much, if they were to really compare, even Shi Guanglin couldn't be compared to him.
Shen Qian thought for a while before saying, "If we don't include the third generation, the Zhou family is slightly stronger. If we just look at the current situation, the Zhou family is first, the Shi family is second, and the Jia family is third … "
As she said this, Shen Qian continued, "But don't just look at the current situation. Jia Wenhao isn't an ordinary person. Really, don't be fooled by his low profile in Jiangbei. His ability is one of the best among the younger generation.
"Shi Guanglin and the others have more resources than Jia Wenhao.
"Actually, you can tell just by looking at Jia Wenhao's wife. Han Yu's family is very weak. If it were Shi Guanglin and the others, the marriage partner's family wouldn't be so weak.
"The Jia family is actually valued by everyone because of Jia Wenhao.
"As for Jia Wenhao, you can't just see him as the successor of the Jia family. He has the approval of many factions, including my father.
"If not for that, when Jia Wenhao was in Jiangbei, my father wouldn't have let him handle Su An's matter alone. Consider it as doing him a favor.
"Looking at Jia Wenhao's generation, I think the Jia family is the strongest."
This was the first time Li Dong heard Shen Qian analyze this so clearly. It was also the first time he had a deep impression of Jia Wenhao.
In the past, he had always felt that although Jia Wenhao was strong, he mostly relied on the power of his family.
It was only now that Li Dong understood. Part of the reason Jia Wenhao relied on his family's support was because he was strong enough.
Many big shots, including Du Anmin, thought highly of Jia Wenhao.
Even the current leader might think so!
After all, Jia Wenhao was developing in Jiangbei. It was very important for him to be in charge of the development of a new city.
Not many people thought highly of him and supported him. He was just a deputy governor, so how could he have that much power?
After understanding this, Li Dong mumbled, "Looks like I have to interact more with Jia Wenhao in the future."
Shen Qian shook her head. "That's not necessary. Jia Wenhao is a smart person. "Flattery won't be of much use to him. "If he thinks you're useful, he will befriend you. Even if you don't treat him well, he won't make things difficult for you. "If he thinks you're useless, he will ignore you. No matter how much you try to please him, his attitude will be the same. "Furthermore, you're a businessman. Don't get too involved in some matters."
"I understand. Listening to you is better than studying for ten years!" Li Dong looked like he had learned something. His sincere attitude was a little comical.
"Pfft!"
Shen Qian burst into laughter and sourly said, "Don't be glib. I haven't finished speaking. Let's not talk about Jia Wenhao first. I'm mainly talking about the Zhou family. I know the man beside Zhou Yue just now. Do you know who he is? "
Li Dong had almost forgotten about this. He asked curiously, "Who?"
"XXX's grandson."
Shen Qian mentioned a name. Li Dong had heard of it. It was one of the nine big shots.
Hearing this, Li Dong sighed. "I really couldn't tell. He's a very low-profile person. If you didn't mention it, I really wouldn't have felt it. He's low-profile and introverted. I've underestimated these second and third generations."
That young man just now didn't seem arrogant. Although Li Dong felt that he had some status, he didn't expect it to be so high.
Shen Qian nodded. "This is actually the real elite circle. These people include Jia Wenhao, Shi Guanglin, Wu Qingping …
Zhou Yue is also one of them. As for me, I'm not even one of them.
Chen Rui, Chang Qiqi, Sun Manman, and Yu Le that you know previously aren't part of their circle. Their level is still too low.
The Sun family actually has the qualifications to enter. However, the later generations of the Sun family are all useless and not accepted by everyone.
I'm saying all this not to show off, nor am I looking down on myself.
I'm just reminding you that although Zhou Yue hasn't graduated yet, she's actually smarter and more powerful than you think.
Especially now that she seems to be getting married to this person. Don't have any ideas about her. It's best to keep a respectful distance. "
Li Dong smiled bitterly. "Am I that kind of person in your eyes? Not to mention now that I know she has a boyfriend. Even if she didn't, I wouldn't have any ideas about her. "
Shen Qian chuckled. "Don't be nervous. I'm not saying that you'll definitely have ideas about her. I'm just reminding you so that you don't unknowingly offend someone."
Li Dong nodded. That was true.
He might seem strong now, but there was still a gap between him and these people.
If he really offended them unintentionally, even if he didn't lose his life, he would have to shed a layer of skin to get rid of them. It was like the current Old Huang.
However, Li Dong still said confidently, "They're still borrowing the influence of their fathers. In another eight to ten years, I, Li Dong, will still be Li Dong. It's hard to say for them."
Shen Qian's eyes sparkled. This man was really charming at this moment.
Seeing this, Li Dong became even prouder. Women were really easy to fool. His brother's arrogant words immediately garnered looks of admiration.
Seeing his smug look, Shen Qian immediately rolled her eyes.
Just a moment ago, she was still admiring him. Now, she was showing her true colors.
…
Just as Li Dong and Shen Qian were discussing Zhou Yue and Yu Le.
Wu Qingping also said with interest, "Was that Li Dong just now?"
Zhou Yue nodded. Wu Qingping chuckled, "I almost didn't recognize him. I only guessed who he was when I saw Shen Qian and you called his name. Interesting."
Zhou Yue's smile was very light, but not annoying.
At this moment, Zhou Yue was full of smiles, "Why do you say that?"
Wu Qingping organized his words before saying, "I've heard many people discuss him. There are praise and criticism. But in the end, I found something interesting. "
"What is it?"
"Those who speak ill of Li Dong and hate him are usually the weak.
True experts, on the other hand, admire him more.
Big Brother Jia mentioned Li Dong to me once, and he thinks highly of him.
Although Shi Guanglin was laughed at for a while because of Shen Qian, he didn't get angry when someone mentioned Li Dong the last time they met. It didn't seem like he was pretending.
And that kid Wei Hengzhi also said that Li Dong is quite interesting.
Most importantly, I heard his name from my grandfather once, and it was mostly positive. "
Zhou Yue was a little surprised, "Really? Grandfather Wu mentioned Li Dong before? "
Wu Qingping nodded, "Yes, I've heard of him."
Zhou Yue was a little emotional, evidently not expecting such a scene. She said softly, "Don't forget, back in Jiangbei, that person also praised him …"
"It's not the same. Back then, it was Far Away, not him personally." Wu Qingping shook his head, but still said, "No matter what, Li Dong is quite an interesting person. At the next gathering, if there's a chance, call Shen Qian along. "
Zhou Yue did not say anything, but she did not have any objections.
Wu Qingping wanted Shen Qian to join their circle, on one hand, because he was interested in Li Dong, and on the other hand, Shen Qian now had the qualifications.
Although Du Anmin was from the grassroots faction, he was now in charge of Capital City, and his status in the country's politics was gradually rising.
In addition, Shen Qian herself was not that kind of incompetent person.
Shen Qian could bring Far Away Technology to the present from Far Away, and that was her ability.
Regardless of the reason, regardless of how much effort Li Dong had put in, Shen Qian's contributions could not be erased. Without some real ability, Li Dong would not need to worry about who would take over Far Away Technology after Shen Qian left.
But Zhou Yue could not help but think of Qin Yuhan, and sighed slightly in her heart.
Although Wu Qingping did not know what she was thinking, he still said with a smile, "We don't need to interfere with other people's affairs. From now on, our goal is to go shopping."
Zhou Yue smiled gently, nodded, and stuffed her small hand into Wu Qingping's big hand.
She could not interfere with other people's feelings, but she could fight for her own.
Being in a big family, sometimes it was not up to her.
But if the marriage partner was also someone she loved, then everything was not a problem.
Zhou Yue was very happy and very satisfied.
As for Li Dong, she could not be bothered to think too much.
Don't think that Li Dong was a person who could do whatever he wanted. In fact, until now, some of the people he had offended were small characters.
The truly powerful people, Li Dong's intuition was very sharp, and he had almost never offended them.
Even on Jia Wenhao's side, although Li Dong's relationship with Han Yu was bad, in fact, his relationship with Jia Wenhao could not be considered as hostile.
This guy was not as rash as others thought, or else he would not have been like a fish in water these few years.
