After talking about the charity banquet, Hu Xiaorui briefly talked about the operation of East Star.
To be honest, when this girl talked about things now, she seemed to be quite capable.
After she finished talking about the recent situation, Hu Xiaorui blinked and said, "Oh yeah, what's the situation with the girl you recommended last time?"
"Girl?"
Li Dong took a while to realize who Hu Xiaorui was talking about.
It was fine if it was someone else, but when it came from Hu Xiaorui, Li Dong felt it was a bit awkward.
This girl wasn't that old, and she behaved like a child, but now she was calling someone else a girl.
Funny, Li Dong joked, "Is it appropriate for you to call someone else a girl?"
Hu Xiaorui curled her lips and said, "How is it inappropriate? I'm older than her, and I'm the boss. Don't change the topic. You haven't answered my question yet. "
"I just like her. You can arrange some roles for her."
Seeing how casual Li Dong was, Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll arrange it later."
"En, up to you. As long as it doesn't affect East Star."
Li Dong looked at the time. It was almost 3 o 'clock in the afternoon.
As he was about to leave, Hu Xiaorui asked, "Are you busy in the afternoon?"
"I'm quite busy …"
Hu Xiaorui said happily, "You're not busy, right? I know you're not busy. Let's go out in the afternoon. I haven't been out in a long time. "
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched. Are you hallucinating?
When did I say I'm not busy?
Just as he was about to say something, Hu Xiaorui suddenly said pitifully, "We agreed to open a company together, but you don't care about it now. I'm alone in the company every day. I'm bored. Since you're not busy today, can't you spend the afternoon with me? "
"This …"
Li Dong felt a little apologetic. Hu Xiaorui had always been a playful person, and she had indeed spent a lot of energy on East Star in the past two years.
In the past, he often heard her talking about where she went to have fun, who she raced with, and who she won. Now, he hadn't heard her talk about these things for a long time.
Seeing her pitiful expression, Li Dong couldn't help but soften his heart even though he knew that it was most likely an act. He nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me that it can't be too late. I have a meeting tonight."
"Got it, got it. Stop nagging."
Hu Xiaorui mumbled. Then, she picked up her bag with a smile and pulled Li Dong out of the door.
Li Dong originally thought that she would have to tidy him up a little, but he didn't expect this girl to be so straightforward.
While he was still in a daze, she had already dragged him out of the door.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Li Dong quickly said, "What's the rush? I can walk by myself."
Hu Xiaorui grumbled, "It's so troublesome. You're a man. Why are you so long-winded?"
"I …"
"Don't 'I' me 'me. Let's go. It's rare that I have nothing to do in the afternoon."
Hu Xiaorui didn't care if he was willing or not. She pulled him away.
Zhao Liying and the others, who were pacing around the door, finally mustered up their courage and were ready to go up and say a few words to Li Dong when he came out.
However, when Li Dong came out, he was dragged out by Ms. Hu.
When they saw Hu Xiaorui, they immediately greeted her nervously, "Hello, Ms. Hu."
Hu Xiaorui held her head high and nodded proudly. She didn't reply and dragged Li Dong out.
…
It wasn't until they entered the elevator that Li Dong said, "Why do I feel like they're quite afraid of you?"
Hu Xiaorui said nonchalantly, "It's normal that they're afraid of me. Not long ago, I froze a few troublemakers.
They haven't even become kings or queens yet, but they've become famous with the company's resources. They don't even know who they are anymore.
Last time, there were a few guys who wanted to terminate their contracts with me, saying that our contracts are harsh. Why don't they think about who promoted them?
East Star was established not long ago, and we don't have many resources to begin with. For these people, we've invested a lot of money.
But they act like we're relying on them. They're all ingrates.
I've been too good to them in the past. Last time, I directly froze a few guys and didn't announce them before the contract expired. I don't believe I can't deal with them! "
When Li Dong heard this, he was speechless. This woman was really ruthless when she became ruthless.
What did it mean when a contract expired?
The shortest contract that East Star signed now was five years, and some were even ten years.
East Star had only been established for less than two years. Even if it was the shortest, there would still be at least three years of cold storage.
In this era, three years of cold storage would cause a small reputation to completely disappear. After the contract expired, these people would either have to start all over again or change careers.
Li Dong didn't say much, nor would he plead for those people.
Hu Xiaorui wanted to make an example out of them. As she wished, it was difficult to manage a large company. If she didn't pressure the people below her, they wouldn't know how to be respectful.
The two chatted as they walked, and it didn't take long for them to leave the Global Building.
…
Hu Xiaorui's hobbies were different from other girls'.
After eating a cold drink downstairs, Li Dong originally thought that she was going to go shopping, but he didn't expect to be dragged to a game hall by this girl and played games for the entire afternoon.
Speaking of which, it was shameful to say that the two of them played against each other. Li Dong lost the entire afternoon and didn't win even once.
Coming out of the game hall, Li Dong's face turned green. Didn't this girl know how to let him win just once?
She should at least let him win once. Was it really appropriate to abuse him for the entire afternoon?
Li Dong felt embarrassed, but Hu Xiaorui was very happy and also very proud. She smiled and said, "Li Dong, you are too weak. You should go back and practice more."
"Playing with things will discourage one's will!"
Li Dong snorted in a dignified manner, and Hu Xiaorui couldn't stop laughing.
After playing games, it was already late.
Li Dong confirmed that he would have a small meeting in the evening. Hu Xiaorui knew that he was busy with business, so she didn't continue to pester him.
After eating dinner together, Li Dong left early.
Until Li Dong's car left, Hu Xiaorui muttered, "I should have let him win in the afternoon."
But she was so happy in the afternoon that she forgot about it.
Sighing, Hu Xiaorui was a little disappointed. She heard that Qin Yuhan was coming back soon. It was so annoying!
Originally, there was Shen Bingshan. Now that Qin Yuhan was back, Li Dong probably wouldn't have time to play with her in the future.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was July.
In July, Li Dong became busier.
Not only was Li Dong busy, but everyone was busy.
The acquisition of Carrefour, the supplier meeting, the promotional meeting, the East Star Charity Night …
These series of activities were all carried out this month.
Among the four major subsidiaries, the real estate company was slightly more free, but not by much. There was still a lot of work to be done for the land they acquired in the early stage.
On July 3rd, East Star Entertainment held a press conference and was about to hold a charity dinner.
Originally, not many people cared. After all, there were too many charity dinners these days.
Especially this year, with the earthquake not long ago. Recently, many companies or local governments held such dinners, and it was only circulated in their respective small circles.
But when the press conference was held, everyone paid attention.
The guest list announced at this press conference was really shocking.
Li Dong, Feng Lun, Liu Chuanzhi, Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Li Yanhong, Guo Guangqian, Wu Yajun, Chen Kaixuan, Li Dong, Sheng, Wang Shi, Pan Shiyi, Zhang Jindong …
A series of names shocked everyone at the high standard of this dinner.
Almost all of these people were currently active in the business world.
Even if they were slightly worse off, their net worth would not be less than one billion.
To be able to invite all of these people to a charity dinner, the organizer's ability was too strong.
At this time, many people even forgot about the other list of participating celebrities.
There were quite a number of A-list celebrities in the list of celebrities to be announced this time. There were even a few Heavenly Kings and Queens who would be participating.
Usually, people would pay more attention to these celebrities. After all, relatively speaking, celebrity artists were more famous and had a wider audience.
But it was different this time. With so many giants in the business world participating, they suddenly overshadowed the celebrities.
Think about it, many of these celebrities were artists from entertainment companies like Huayi.
But even the bosses of Huayi, the Wang brothers, came to the dinner this time. Moreover, among the many giants in the business world, these two people were not very eye-catching. With a comparison, people knew who to pay attention to.
As soon as the news came out, East Star Entertainment, which was not very famous, suddenly became popular.
At this time, many people found out that the several popular TV series last year were actually produced by East Star.
Usually, people would not care about this when watching TV.
But this time was different. It was unbelievable that an entertainment company like East Star Entertainment had such a strong network.
But soon, someone dug out the background of East Star. It was a joint venture company established by Li Dong and others.
At this time, everyone was relieved.
It turned out to be the company of the richest man. No wonder there were so many big shots supporting it.
However, many people were secretly surprised. They did not expect Li Dong's face to be so wide now.
Li Dong's rise had not been long. Although he had become the richest man, relatively speaking, he was still a notch worse than others in terms of accumulation of connections.
But this time, so many giants in the business world came to the dinner, which suddenly showed the wide network of Li Dong.
And soon, some people dug out some inside stories, such as the Hua Xia Alumni Association and the Entrepreneur Club.
Originally, not many people knew about these small circles.
But this time, when they dug out the background of East Star, many people also noticed this information.
Many people knew for the first time that there was such a thing.
It turned out that people like Li Dong, Ma Yun, and Ma Huateng could actually be regarded as alumni. Thinking about the e-commerce war between these two before, and then thinking about the competition between PP and QQ, everyone felt that it was an eye-opener.
It turned out that these people were not without connections in private. These people's relationships were complicated.
In addition to sighing at the luxurious lineup, the most discussed topic on the internet was how much money could be raised this time?
With so many giants in the business world, their total assets were at least one trillion. Even if they plucked out a hair, it was still not to be underestimated.
The people of the country were more sensitive to the amount of money than one could imagine. If a charity dinner donated less money, not many people would remember.
But if there was more money, these people would definitely remember.
Why was the Peeza Charity Night not very famous now? There were many celebrities who attended every year, but there were not many who were really rich.
Before 2008, although the charity dinner was held several times, it was not a few million. With more than ten million, this amount of money really did not attract much attention.
The reason why East Star was able to become a hit was mainly because there were many rich people.
Many people guessed that the donation for this charity dinner would at least be in the hundreds of millions, or even more.
As the popularity of East Star Charity Night expanded, many celebrities who had not replied before took the initiative to ask to participate.
In the beginning, when East Star Entertainment invited these A-list celebrities, these people were still hesitant.
Not all of them were hesitant. Many celebrities signed with companies that were competitors with East Star.
Naturally, people would not agree to help their competitors build up their reputation.
But the situation was different now. With so many big bosses in the business world attending, even their own bosses were attending. At this time, if they went, they could also expand their network.
If they knew a few rich people, they would not have to worry about no investments in the future.
With this thought in mind, more and more people were willing to attend the charity dinner.
Many celebrities even showed their invitations on Weibo. At this time, to be invited to the charity dinner was also a reflection of one's status.
If one's reputation was too small and their status was too low, they would obviously not receive an invitation from East Star.
Being able to receive an invitation proved their status in the entertainment industry.
For a moment, East Star Charity Night became a hot topic.
