Chapter 183 Dinner
♂,
Last time Li Dong had a small car accident and was hit by a female driver. 【ㄨ】
At that time, the BMW belonged to this woman, but the two of them didn't speak a few words, and Li Dong didn't know her name.
Li Dong was a little surprised to meet the other party here this time, but not too surprised.
The way this woman handled the accident that time showed that she was not simple, and now it just proved it.
Seeing Li Dong enter the door and staring at her, Zhang Lanyu knew that Li Dong recognized her, stood up and said with a smile: "President Li, we meet again."
Li Dong nodded and said nothing.
Zhang Lanyu didn't take it seriously, she stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Let's get to know each other again, my name is Zhang Lanyu."
Li Dong stretched out his hand to shake her, and said with a light smile, "Miss Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
After the two greeted each other, the white-haired man who had been eating since Li Dong entered the door smiled and said, "President Li, rare guest, sit down."
Li Dong didn't say anything, and found an empty seat beside Zhang Lanyu and sat down.
Then the white-haired man said again: "Mr. Li, let's eat first, and we'll talk after eating."
After finishing speaking, the white-haired man started to eat again.
Zhang Lanyu frowned slightly, then stretched it out again, turned her head and smiled at Li Dong: "This white-haired man is called Chen Rui, and he usually behaves like this, Mr. Li, don't mind."
Li Dong smiled and didn't answer.
Zhang Lanyu didn't care, and introduced the eye-eyed man to Li Dong and said, "This is Wang Siwen."
Wang Siwen nodded towards Li Dong, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he said with a half-smile, "We have heard Mr. Li's name for a long time, but when we saw him today, he really is extraordinary."
Li Dong still just smiled, but refused to answer.
Wang Siwen frowned, and quickly calmed down again. He laughed and started to eat hot pot.
Seeing that Zhang Lanyu wanted to introduce Zhang Qing again, Li Dong said, "You don't need to introduce Mr. Zhang, I know him well."
Zhang Qing snorted softly, and said calmly: "I thought Mr. Li wouldn't come tonight.
"
"Why don't you come? Mr. Zhang finally invited a second guest, I still want to give this little face." Li Dong laughed.
Zhang Qing immediately gritted his teeth and prepared to attack, but seeing that the white-haired man and Wang Siwen hadn't moved, Zhang Qing suppressed his anger and snorted and stopped arguing with Li Dong.
Then the private room fell into silence, only the sound of Chen Rui eating.
Without moving his chopsticks, Li Dong poured himself a cup of tea and began to taste it slowly.
Everyone had their own thoughts, Li Dong looked at everyone one by one, and others also looked at him from the corner of their eyes. This process lasted for a long time.
After about half an hour, Chen Rui put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and smiled at Li Dong: "Mr. Li, I'm neglecting you. I'm not used to this. I don't like to be polite. Let's have a meal." If you like me, it's meaningless to talk about it, right?"
Li Dong said lightly: "I feel the same way. Twisted melons are not sweet. You eat yours and I eat mine. It's up to you whether you are full or not. There's no need to grab food from other people's bowls."
Chen Rui heard the words and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is a little bit interesting. It makes sense. But it's not absolute. Sometimes you grow stronger than others, so you have to eat a little more. I haven't eaten enough from my bowl. , you can’t eat more than half a bowl left, so there’s no need to waste it.”
"Being strong doesn't necessarily mean fighting fiercely. It's not uncommon for a small man to kill a big man these days." Li Dong replied indifferently.
Chen Rui's color changed slightly, and his smile was a bit forced.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Zhang Lanyu interrupted with a smile: "Don't discuss whether to eat or not, we are the only people who can still eat."
Only then did Chen Rui smile, nodded and said: "Lan Yu is right, we have no shortage of food or drink now, there is no need to overturn the table for the sake of food, don't make it impossible for us to eat in the end."
Li Dong didn't speak any more this time, staring at the teacup in his hand, he became dazed.
Chen Rui and Zhang Lanyu frowned slightly, and finally Zhang Lanyu shook his head lightly.
Seeing this, Chen Rui narrowed his eyes, glanced at Li Dong, then looked at Zhang Qing, and then said: "President Li, I also know something about the matter between you and Zhang Qing, why don't you ask Qingzi to invite you here this time?" I just want to be a peacemaker, let's settle the matter before, I wonder if Mr. Li will give me this face?"
Zhang Qing wanted to speak immediately when he heard the words, but Zhang Lanyu and Chen Rui glared at him at the same time.
Zhang Qing was simmering with fire in his heart, resisted the attack, lowered his head and remained silent.
From the corner of his eyes, Li Dong caught a glimpse of the small movements of several people, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Of course Mr. Chen will give you some face, but I'm afraid Mr. Zhang will not like it."
"Qingzi, have a drink with Mr. Li, you are both big men, and you don't feel inferior if you care about a little thing." Seeing that Zhang Qing didn't move, Zhang Lanyu joked with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Dong took a closer look at Zhang Lanyu, this woman was only in her mid-twenties, Zhang Qing was thirty years old anyway, but to him she looked like a worthless child.
Besides, he also saw Zhang Lanyu and Chen Rui's small actions before, could it be that Zhang Lanyu is the protagonist today?
Before, he always thought that Chen Rui was the one with the highest status in the private room, but now it seems that he may have guessed wrong.
While Li Dong was thinking about it, Zhang Qing blushed and raised his glass: "Mr. Li, let's have a drink and forget about the past."
Li Dong felt a little uncomfortable, so he raised his glass to perfunctory.
Today's meal was a little bit interesting, Li Dong could still tell what they were trying to do to him before, but now Li Dong couldn't figure out what Chen Rui and Zhang Lanyu wanted to do.
As for being a peacemaker for himself and Zhang Qing, Li Dong felt that there was no need to make a big fuss about it.
After Zhang Qing and Li Dong clinked glasses, Zhang Lanyu continued: "Mr. Li, I heard that Yuanfang is planning to build a large-scale construction project in Pingchuan recently, with an investment of over 100 million yuan. Is this true?"
Li Dong didn't know the purpose of her words, and said cautiously: "There is such a plan, but the matter has not yet been settled."
Zhang Lanyu didn't care, she smiled and said, "Mr. Li, if you invest 100 million yuan, how long will it take you to recover the cost?"
"About three years."
Li Dong gave a relatively conservative answer. In fact, based on the current profitability of the supermarket, it may take less than two years to recover the cost.
And this is still in Pingchuan, where the pressure of competition is relatively high. If it is placed in other cities and counties, Li Dong is sure that he will be able to recover his capital in a year or so.
But even so, the few people in the private room were still taken aback.
Obviously, the answer Li Dong gave was beyond their expectations. In three years, that is to say, Li Dong invested 100 million yuan, and his annual profit exceeded 30 million yuan.
This profit is not a huge profit, but it is not low either.
In Pingchuan, except for real estate and those state-owned monopoly enterprises, other industries may not be able to achieve this level.
Zhang Lanyu frowned slightly, feeling that today's matter might not be easy to handle.
