Liu Zhenguo said, "Bian Mei, your hotel is doing pretty well now. Among the classmates, not many can compare to you."
Bian Mei smiled and said, "What are you talking about? It would be great if it was really my hotel. I'm also in partnership with someone and just passing the time."
Liu Zhenguo laughed and said, "It's better than us who are paid a fixed salary."
"If you continue to be humble, you'll be hypocritical." Bian Mei smiled and said, "Let's go. Almost all the classmates are here. Everyone can go in and take a seat first."
There were more than 50 people in a class, but there were only about 30 people present. However, many of them had families with them, so it was normal for one or two people to take care of three people. Therefore, there were still seven tables in the banquet hall.
Although more than ten years had left some traces on all the classmates' faces, the general outline had not changed. Li He could roughly recognize who was who, but it was very difficult for him to call out their names.
After a few minutes of observation, he realized that the focus of this class gathering was Wu Qingfeng, Liu Zhenguo, Bian Mei, and the others. Everyone went up to toast one after another.
The rest were just supporting characters.
Wu Qingfeng was like the host of the banquet, constantly inviting everyone to eat. From time to time, he would pour wine for one person and put food for another. He even said, "Just eat, it's on me."
Everyone was not restrained at all. One after another, they toasted each other and chatted leisurely.
However, when they sat, they were also particular. They thought that they were doing well, so they gathered at one table in high spirits.
Those who were not doing well sat at other tables in a desolate manner. Li He was classified as one of the bad tables, so many people gathered around him and sat at the corner of the door. On his right sat a man, and on his left sat a fashionably dressed, voluptuous woman. He really could not remember what her name was at the moment.
"You don't recognize me?"
The woman saw Li He in a daze and could not help but purse her lips and smile.
"Sorry." Li He shook his head.
"Ye …"
"Ye Lili!" Li He's memory finally opened a little.
Ye Lili enthusiastically grabbed Li He's hand and asked him what kind of car he drove. When she found out that he drove a scooter, her smile immediately froze on her face. She slowly withdrew her hand and quietly turned around to greet the other students. She didn't say another word to Li He until it was over.
When she was chatting with other people, Li He could vaguely hear her muttering about how she had made a mistake and actually wore a fake Rolex. Some people even said, "So what if you're a university student? Studying is useless."
Li He didn't mind and continued to eat his food.
"Hey, Second Brother Li, if you have any difficulties, you can tell your brother about it. We are classmates, after all." Wu Qingfeng held the wine glass and put it on Li He's shoulder, acting like a big brother.
"Thank you. Here's to you." Li He raised his glass to him.
"Wu Qingfeng, you're doing the best. It's only right for you to help everyone." Ye Lili jeered and raised her glass. "Let's have a drink too."
Soon, the few people gathered there started to talk about Bian Mei secretly.
A woman with a red leather bag said, "So Bian Mei isn't the owner of this hotel?"
"You guys don't know as much as I do. Bian Mei is the second shareholder. I know the big boss too. Speaking of which …" Wu Qingfeng turned to Li He. "He's from the same family as you. His surname is also Li."
"Yes." Li He nodded. He was his biological brother, so how could he not be from the same family?
Wu Qingfeng smiled and said, "He's also from the same family, but there's such a big difference."
The people around him also laughed.
"Hey, hey, let's take a photo together." Bian Mei started shouting at them.
Li He was tactful. He ignored Bian Mei's pull and stood aside when the group photo was taken.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, it was getting late. It was time for the gathering to end.
But who was going to pay the bill? No one seemed to have any intention of being generous.
"A bunch of bastards with a good temper." Bian Mei seemed to look down on these people.
"Put it on me." Li He smiled and said, "You're the one who organized the gathering, and you're also the one who scolded them."
Bian Mei smiled and said, "Who would have thought they'd become like this? I'll put it on you then. Let everyone see how cool you are, Boss Li. Haha … "
Li Long, Liu Four, and a few others came in from the outside, causing the people in the banquet hall to whisper.
"See that? The richest man in the county."
People who claimed to be well-informed pointed at Li Long and spread common knowledge to everyone.
"That's Liu Four. He owns the largest waste collection station in the county."
"Brother." Li Long shouted at Li He from afar.
What?
Many people thought that they had misheard.
However, they saw the richest man in the county smiling at Li He, and Li He still had a straight face.
Ye Lili secretly asked Bian Mei, "What's going on?"
Wu Qingfeng inadvertently listened in as well.
"They're brothers."
The news that Bian Mei revealed was undoubtedly shocking and very shocking.
She was happy to see everyone's expression. She smiled and said, "Today, Li He is treating us. It's getting late. If you have something to do at home, you can go back first."
"Why are you panicking?" Li He was a little angry when he saw how immature Li Long was.
Li Long said, "Secretary Wu heard that you're here and wants to meet you."
Li He asked, "From the county?"
"No, Secretary Jiang is in the county now. Secretary Wu is from the city. After Brother He was transferred, he took over the team," Li Long explained.
Li He asked, "Where did He Jun go?"
He had not heard from He Jun for a long time.
Li Long scratched his head. "I think he's some kind of director. I didn't ask for details."
"Sigh, what a fool." Li He looked at Bian Mei.
"The director of the Provincial Economic Commission, and the Party Secretary," Bian Mei added.
"Indeed, ten years of hardship, and one day of success." Unknowingly, Li He witnessed the miracle of He Jun's career.
"Brother, can I help you change your shoes?" Li Long looked at Li He and could not stand it anymore.
"It's fine. We're all old friends." Li He did not mind. Back then, when the county came to the capital to run errands, it was because of his connections. He had met Secretary Wu more than once or twice.
Before he could go to the door to welcome them, Secretary Wu and the others had already entered. He extended his hands and strode over from afar. "Director Li, long time no see."
"Nice to meet you." Li He felt a little uncomfortable with his hands being held by the other party. She was being overly enthusiastic.
Those who came out of the banquet hall were stunned when they saw Secretary Wu and the others. Especially those who had been in the government for a long time, it was impossible for them to mistake the City's Secretary for someone else.
What was this Secretary's attitude when he saw Second Brother Li?
Many people were puzzled.
Secretary Wu said with a smile, "Secretary Lu told me the day before yesterday that Li He is from Wan Bei, so we can't treat you coldly and treat you well."
"Please send my regards to Secretary Lu." Li He was not surprised that the Provincial Government knew him. After all, how did he get his Labor Day Award?
They didn't go to the conference room. Li He brought them to a table and sat down to chat.
Secretary Wu smiled. "I have not thanked you for supporting the County's education when I was in office. The County's education has achieved great results."
Li He had once donated ten million to the county, but unfortunately, He Jun had been transferred away as soon as the donation was made, and Li He was the one who had taken advantage of the situation.
Li He once again expressed his willingness to continue donating to Secretary Wu. However, he expanded the donation range to the whole city. Secretary Wu was extremely excited.
"I hope the money will be used wisely." Li He made his request. This time, he had donated 30 million RMB. It was not a lot, but it was not a small amount. "Our Education Foundation will send someone over. Secretary Wu, please help us."
"What's wrong? You can criticize me later!" But Secretary Wu raised another question. "Director He had said that Mr. Li's money does not fall from the sky. It's up to you whether you donate or not. We still hope that you can invest in your hometown to develop the local economy and create more jobs. "
"I will try my best."
Li He thought for a while. He could not think of anything in the County or the City that was worth his investment!
His younger brother was already doing the hard work of developing the real estate industry.
Li He rejected the welcoming banquet organized by the City Government. It was too troublesome, and he was afraid of this kind of event. After sending Secretary Wu and the rest off, he saw Li Long's depressed face.
"What?"
"That's 30 million RMB!"
Li Long's heart ached. He had worked so hard for so many years and had not accumulated so much money. But his brother had donated so much just because of a few words!
Liu Four, who was standing beside him, also had the same expression.
"You want me to give it to you? It's only 30 million RMB. "Li He smiled." Do you want it? "
Only now did he dare to give his brother money. He even dared to give so much money at once.
"I don't want it. I am not short of money." Li Long's heart ached that Li He had donated so much money at once.
Li He asked. "Then I am short of money? Don't be sad. I will give you the money. There is nothing wrong with doing good deeds. "
"Got it."
Although Li Long said so, he still could not understand Li He's actions.
Wu Qingfeng and the rest had been pacing back and forth in the hotel. When they heard that Li He had donated 30 million RMB at once, they were all dumbfounded.
Ye Lili said hatefully, "This Erhe Li is really an idiot!"
It was as if the money belonged to her. She was also heartbroken.
"What is this Erhe Li doing now? Why is he so rich? "Many people started to ask Bian Mei.
Bian Mei only said that she did not know.
Some people wanted to talk to Li He, but unfortunately, Li He was also indifferent. He only talked to them with a smile. He was not willing to talk to them.
Under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, Li He drove away in his hand-held car that was still emitting black smoke.
