Chapter 1342 Anger
Zhou Haidong's family.
Zhou Haidong is not young, he was 36 when he was with Li Dong, and he will be 40 after Chinese New Year this year.
He is middle-aged, plus he is in a high position, and there are too many things to do. In the past two years, Zhou Haidong has not had much time to exercise, and his body is slightly fatter.
He got married late, served in the army for eight years, and spent several years in the army before he could save enough money for his marriage.
Even so, it was very unsatisfactory. If it wasn't for the lack of money, he wouldn't have gone to Li Dong and been used as a ruthless character.
But in the past few years, the life of the Zhou family has begun to get better.
Especially when Zhou Haidong became the Minister of Supervision, his salary and bonus alone would be enough to buy a villa in a year.
Of course, Zhou Haidong didn't buy a villa, but a duplex, which wasn't too eye-catching.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were many Zhou family members.
Zhou Haidong's parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law all come here to celebrate the New Year.
On the first day of junior high school, no one went out, the whole family gathered together, some watched TV, some played cards, the atmosphere was good.
Zhou Haidong's wife is much younger than him and also came from the countryside.
Although Zhou Haidong has developed in the past few years, his wife still retains the simplicity of a rural person, without the publicity of a nouveau riche, very low-key and simple.
Zhou Haidong is working outside, but she is concentrating on raising the children at home.
The couple has only one daughter, who is not very old, and she is only 8 years old after the Chinese New Year.
There are many people in the family, and Zhou's wife did not participate in the card game, but served tea and water for everyone, and took care of a few children by the way.
Seeing her husband watching TV, Zhou's wife couldn't help asking, "Haidong, don't you want to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Li?"
Zhou Haidong smiled and said: "I won't go today, Mr. Li finally went home to rest, let's go tomorrow."
"Well, don't forget to bring the things I bought tomorrow, it's not appropriate to have empty hands."
"Forget it, Mr. Li doesn't lack these things, not to mention that every time I bring something back, I get back twice as much, which is not appropriate."
When the couple mentioned Li Dong, the others couldn't help but prick up their ears.
Regarding Zhou Haidong working for Li Dong,
The whole family is proud of it.
In particular, Zhou Haidong also worked as a bodyguard for Li Dong, which is a topic of interest to many people.
His brother-in-law was young and had just entered high school. When he saw his brother-in-law talking to his sister, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother-in-law, did you really work as a bodyguard for Li Dong? Isn't it dangerous to be a bodyguard? Have you ever encountered any dangerous things? Tell us about it..."
Zhou's wife couldn't help reprimanding: "What are you asking nonsense, and don't call your name, be polite."
Her younger brother curled his lips and said: "He's not here, besides, we all call him that, or call him Brother Pao..."
"This child!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Zhou Haidong also laughed and said: "Don't talk nonsense, just call it when others call it, don't call it this in the future, call Brother Dong anything else.
Mr. Li hates this nickname the most, whoever says he is in a hurry. "
"Why? I think it's pretty good..."
While everyone was talking, the doorbell rang.
Zhou's wife asked curiously, "Who is here today? Don't they not be your subordinates?"
"Go and open the door to have a look. Those who bring things are not allowed to come in. It happens every time. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year are not quiet."
Zhou Haidong shook his head slightly. Ever since he became the Minister of Supervision, more people came to visit him.
The minister of supervision in the distance is not only an executive, but also a member of the board of directors, one of the top few people.
These days, there are not many members on the board of directors of the distant place, and each person is extremely important.
In addition, it is the regulatory department, which makes people pay more attention.
There are quite a few people who come to give gifts, ask for relationships, and plead for mercy almost every month.
Zhou's wife heard the words and walked towards the door, and opened the door directly.
As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Zhou was stunned, with a look of surprise on her face.
...
outside the door.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you recognize me?"
"Li...Mr. Li, you...why are you here..."
Zhou's wife was so nervous that she hurriedly turned her head and shouted: "Haidong, Mr. Li is here, come quickly..."
When Zhou Haidong, who was sitting, heard this, he immediately jumped up and hurried towards the door.
The voices of the other people in the room stopped for an instant, and they all hurriedly got up and looked towards the door.
Outside the door, seeing that Zhou Haidong's wife had forgotten to let him in, Li Dong couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not an outsider, stop shouting, can you let me in first?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou's wife immediately blushed and said at a loss: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Li, come in quickly, I..."
"Just kidding, sister-in-law, don't be nervous."
Li Dong was talking, ready to change his shoes and enter the door, when Zhou Haidong also arrived, seeing this, he hurriedly said: "President Li, you don't need to change your shoes, why are you here, go in and sit down.
Xiaohui, make tea for President Li, I have good tea upstairs..."
"Okay, I'll get it right away..."
Zhou's wife responded and hurried upstairs.
Li Dong changed his shoes and entered the door with a gift.
Putting down the gift casually, Li Dong glanced at the people in the room, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, sorry for the sudden visit, I'm sorry.
Isn't it just a new year? Let's take a look at Lao Zhou.
Don't worry about me, everyone, you play your game, I will chat with Lao Zhou and leave later. "
"Mr. Li, you came to see me, isn't that a slap in the face.
If I had known earlier, I should have paid New Year's greetings to you today, I thought there must be a lot of people over there today, so I wanted to wait and go tomorrow..."
Zhou Haidong explained, Li Dong waved his hands and smiled, "It's all the same.
We have known each other for so many years, it doesn't matter who comes to whoever's house.
Having said that, I have never been here before you moved here. "
While talking, Li Dong waved to Zhou Haidong's daughter and said with a smile, "Guoguo, I don't know you, Uncle Li?"
Zhou Haidong's daughter was a little shy, but she still came over and whispered, "Hello, Uncle Li."
"It's been a while since I saw him, and he's grown a lot.
I forgot to bring you a gift when I came here, this is for you, next time uncle will bring you something fun. "
Li Dong took off a string of sandalwood beads from his hand and put them on the little girl's hand.
Zhou Haidong looked at it and hurriedly said: "No way, Mr. Li, this is given to you by Mr. Shen, how can it be given to your child, take it back quickly..."
"It's okay, Shen Qian likes to give these things away, I'm a big man, I wear this burden.
It just so happened that it was Guoguo, so Shen Qian turned around and said me. "
Li Dong laughed, greeted others a few more times, and finally said with a smile: "Old Zhou, I haven't been here before, let's go upstairs to have a look and chat a few words by the way."
"Alright then, I'll take you up there to have a look."
"Well, the big guys don't care about us. When I came here, I suddenly became quiet, and I was quite uncomfortable.
Lao Zhou and I have a lifelong friendship, my family, why are you being polite to me. "
Li Dong smiled all over his face and comforted him for a while, then walked upstairs with Lao Zhou.
When he left, everyone took a breath.
Zhou Haidong's younger sister couldn't help pulling her niece and whispering, "Guoguo, do you know him?"
The little girl nodded quickly, and said in a low voice: "I have been to our house before, and it is my father's boss, it's alright, and I brought a lot of delicious food.
He refused to call him brother, but insisted on calling me uncle. "
"I didn't expect that my brother was really valued. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Dong came to see my brother in person. It's amazing!"
Sister Zhou Haidong said with emotion, although I know that my eldest brother is a high-level leader in the Yuanfang Group, but how many people can let Li Donglai visit on the first day of the new year?
From this point of view, we can know how much Li Dong values his elder brother.
Everyone looked joyful, and no one continued to play cards. They all got together and chatted in a low voice, for fear that the voice would be too loud and disturb Li Dong above.
...
upstairs.
After receiving the teacup from Zhou's wife, Li Dong said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about it. I'll leave after chatting with Lao Zhou. I'm ashamed that you are so polite."
"No, I don't have any good things at home. If I knew you were coming, I should have bought some good tea."
"You're welcome, sister-in-law, I have a conversation with Lao Zhou..."
Zhou Haidong hurriedly said, "Xiaohui, go down and see your parents first, I'll chat with President Li for a while."
Zhou's wife nodded quickly, and then hurried downstairs.
Li Dong waited for her to leave, then smiled lightly and said, "Old Zhou, how many years have we known each other?"
Zhou Haidong hurriedly said: "It's been 4 years, in May 2005, I came from afar.
At that time, I, Lao Tan, Lao Zheng, and the Red Soldier came together.
It was Mr. Sun who came to us and said that he could help with some errands and earn some extra money.
We were all so poor back then that we couldn’t even make enough money for our family’s living expenses. When we heard that we had money, we didn’t care about anything.
I still remember that when we first came, you asked us to fix a few punks..."
Li Dong laughed and said: "It's been four years, and Yuanfang has been established for less than five years. Our company's qualifications are older than yours, and there are only a few of them, Mr. Sun.
In the blink of an eye, so long has passed.
4 years is not long, nor is it short.
Back then, of you guys, you were the most valued by me, you were courageous and resourceful, plus we were destined to each other, so you all carried the word Dong.
In addition to being able to drive, I kept it with me all the time, driving me and being my personal bodyguard.
You guy, tall and mighty, you feel honorable if you walk with me.
The key is that you can fight, I remember Lao Tan and the others, if you single-handedly fight against you, none of them are your opponents.
The past few years have been wasted, right? "
Zhou Haidong said with some embarrassment: "It's a bit deserted. There are too many things to do, so I haven't practiced much."
"You, you still need to exercise, your belly is almost formed.
I was still thinking about you coming back and continuing to drive me, that guy Old Tan is getting more and more boring now, really boring. "
Li Dong said a few words with emotion, but Zhou Haidong frowned slightly.
He didn't know if Li Dong was joking or serious.
He is now the Minister of Supervision, and he hasn't exercised for so long, is it appropriate to go back and drive again?
While he was meditating, Li Dong got up with his teacup and looked around. After a while, Li Dong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is quite good at tidying up. You can tell at a glance that she is good at living."
"Her..."
Zhou Haidong shook his head helplessly and said: "It's not that you know how to live, it's that you are stingy, asking her to buy something for the family, she is unwilling to live or die.
I asked her to go out to work, find a job, not ask for much salary, the key is to deal with more people.
Don't stay at home all day and don't understand anything.
But she just didn't want to, she insisted on staying at home to take care of the children, clean up, and just hire a nanny for these things.
After all these years, it’s still the same as just entering the city…”
Li Dongruo said thoughtfully: "That's true, my sister-in-law doesn't like to dress up too much, she's still the same as before."
"Who says no, you said, I'm following you now, and I don't need the money.
Let her go to the beauty salon to tidy up, buy some good clothes, tidy up, at least give me some face, but she just can't bear it..."
“This has to be done slowly, there is no rush.
But having said that, Lao Zhou, in your current position, you have come into contact with a lot of women. Tell me, have you ever had other thoughts? "
With a smile on his face, Li Dong took a deep look at Zhou Haidong.
Zhou Haidong sneered and said, "Why, I'm quite busy here, and most of them are men, and they're all so old..."
"You still want to hide it from me."
Li Dong laughed and said: "You are also a business elite now, and it is normal to socialize outside, but if you have a good wife at home, you can just have fun, don't worry about anything else.
Sister-in-law looks pretty good to me, she's just used to living a hard life, just follow along and urge her to be fine.
By the way, there are no children outside, right? "
"No, Mr. Li, don't get me wrong, I'm not that kind of person..."
"Really? Don't you lie to me about our relationship?"
"No..."
"Oh, I thought you had a younger child, and you didn't like sister-in-law anymore.
The woman outside, you don't know what's going on with her. How about you, the status is not low in the distance now, rich and powerful, some women, she only cares about money, but nothing else.
How can there be a woman in the family who is good, especially following you since the time of suffering.
Forget it, don't talk about these, just pay attention to yourself. "
Li Dong said a few words with emotion, but then again, he is not qualified to teach Zhou Haidong a lesson.
Sighing, the smile on Li Dong's face gradually faded, and he said lightly: "Old Zhou, today, I'm here for nothing else, just want to chat with you.
As for you, if you still take me, Li Dong, seriously, then tell me a few words of affection.
If you don't take it seriously, forget it. "
Zhou Haidong's complexion changed, he swallowed and said, "Mr. Li, what you said, without you, I wouldn't be where I am today, Zhou Haidong.
No matter what you say, I know everything. "
Li Dong laughed and said: "That's good, then I'll just ask a few questions, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't, there's no need to lie to me."
Zhou Haidong's face changed completely, and he nodded quickly.
"Okay, then let me ask you, Zhang Chuan, Wu Zhixiang, Chen Xiongfei, are you handling the cases of these people?"
Zhou Haidong's face suddenly changed, and after a while he blushed and said, "It's me."
"Are they all right?"
"I... Mr. Li, I..."
Li Dong said lightly: "I said, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it. I believe what you say."
Zhou Haidong didn't speak, but clenched his fists tightly.
After a long time, Zhou Haidong felt a little depressed, and said in a low voice, "Yes."
"Then why didn't it deal with it?"
"I……"
Zhou Haidong gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I have dismissed the case."
"That's right, you didn't lie to me."
Li Dong laughed lightly, and said, "How much did you charge?"
Zhou Haidong didn't speak.
Li Dong squinted at him and repeated: "How much did you charge!"
Zhou Haidong said bitterly: "6 people, 1.4 million."
"Hehe, good job."
Li Dong laughed and said: "1.4 million, my proud general, my distant director, the person I used to trust the most, the person who gave the entire group the power to supervise, chose to betray just for 1.4 million!
Lao Zhou, am I, Li Dong, sorry for you?
In 2008, did your bonus and salary add up to tens of millions?
Yes, really.
A mere 1.4 million will ruin the person I trust the most!
You have no money, tell me!
Are you Zhou Haidong missing the 1.4 million?
Am I, Li Dong, missing the 1.4 million?
You tell me, if you have difficulties, don't say 1.4 million, so what if you double it a hundred times! "
Li Dong said with sharp eyes, staring at him like a knife and roaring in a low voice: "Tell me, can Li Dong afford 1.4 million?
You tell me, are you worth 1.4 million?
In your eyes, Lao Tzu, he is not even as good as 1.4 million?
Zhou Haidong, you can, you really can!
I thought someone gave you hundreds of millions!
I really want to give you hundreds of millions. If you betray me, I will pay it for you!
But 1.4 million, you choose to betray, do you know what you want to do now? "
Zhou Haidong's eyes were red, and he said in a low voice, "I...I didn't betray you, Mr. Li, I just..."
"You didn't betray? Then what are you!
I don't believe people tell me about this, I want to ask you in person!
If I don't investigate, I'll come and ask you face to face. If you, Zhou Haidong, say there's nothing wrong with it, I'll believe you!
If you say that others have wronged you, I will believe you too!
But you bastard, let me down! "
Li Dong gritted his teeth, smashed down the tea cup in his hand, and growled: "I'll give you another chance, you said, you are really in trouble, your family urgently needs this 1.4 million life-saving money, I forgive you once!"
"I……"
"explain!"
Zhou Haidong's eyes were red, but he finally shook his head and said, "No, my family is fine.
I just couldn't hold my hand..."
"Snapped!"
Li Dong slapped him across the face, and Zhou Haidong's cheeks instantly became red and swollen.
"Tell me, what do you want the 1.4 million for!
I don't believe you don't know what that means?
I don't believe it either, 1.4 million really makes you fall!
Do you know how much someone spent on Lao Tan's side to make him betray?
2 billion!
200 million, as long as I tell others my every move is enough!
You came with Lao Tan, you have not been shorter than him and me, even longer!
I don't believe it, I bought you for 1.4 million!
You are so cheap, 1.4 million is enough?
You tell me, in the end because of why! "
Li Dong was extremely angry, at this moment he really wanted to hack this bastard to death!
1.4 million!
Zhou Haidong made it back in a month or two, but for such a small amount of money, he chose to betray, he really couldn't understand!
If he was sorry to Zhou Haidong, he could understand it, and if the other party offered a price of hundreds of millions, he could understand it too.
But it was precisely because of 1.4 million that he didn't understand, was even more angry, and was even more annoyed.
Zhou Haidong didn't say anything, his cheeks were swollen, and he didn't move.
The eye circles are getting redder.
After a long time, Zhou Haidong suddenly choked up, fell to his knees with a slap, and said with tears streaming down his face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm sorry.
I am not a human being, I am just a beast, ungrateful, repaying kindness with revenge, I am sorry for you..."
Li Dong's expression changed for a while, he rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and exhaled, "Get up!"
"..."
"I'll get you up!"
Li Dong roared angrily, and his roar echoed throughout the upstairs.
At the top of the stairs, there were slight footsteps. Obviously, the people below heard the movement and came up to check the situation.
Zhou Haidong still knelt still, Li Dong took a deep look at him, and walked downstairs.
When they reached the stairs, Mrs. Zhou looked at Li Dong with some anxiety, and Li Dong forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go first, and I'll see you next time."
"Mr. Li, Haidong..." Mrs. Zhou said anxiously.
"It's okay, Lao Zhou wants to calm down, sister-in-law don't go up first.
I'm leaving, I'm still waiting at home, so don't bother me. "
Leaving these words behind, Li Dong hurried out.
Seeing this, Zhou's wife had no choice but to turn around and send Li Dong out. As for what happened to her husband and why Li Dong yelled, she was also confused, but she didn't know how to ask.
When Li Dong was sent out the door, everyone downstairs looked at each other, a little puzzled.
Upstairs, it was eerily quiet, which made everyone not sure what to do.
When Li Dong left just now, he was clearly in a bad mood, and they didn't know why this happened, what did Zhou Haidong do to suddenly make Li Dong unhappy.
