Chapter 252 Something Went Wrong!

The gate of the community.

Li Dongdao: "Go back, I'm leaving."

Yuan Xue, who was silent all the way, suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you want me to come back?"

Li Dong touched his nose, his face was a little embarrassed under the night, and he said after a long time: "This depends on your own thoughts..."

"Hypocritical!"

Li Dong suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked in surprise, "What?"

"I said you are hypocritical!" Yuan Xue's voice was much louder than before.

Li Dong looked embarrassed, who is hypocritical?

Yuan Xue gave him a white look, and said angrily: "I'll just ask you, do you want me to come back? Answer me directly!"

"Ahem, that..."

Li Dongqian said with a smile: "This really depends on you."

Seeing that Yuan Xue's face changed after finishing speaking, she continued: "But I think, the moon abroad is not as round as ours. If you are not familiar with the place, it is actually not bad to go back to China to develop."

A dazzling smile appeared on Yuan Xue's face in an instant.

Glancing at Li Dong, Yuan Xue smiled and said, "I'll think about it and tell you later."

Li Dong coughed a few times, and said with a guilty conscience: "I just made a suggestion, nothing else."

"coward!"

Yuan Xue snorted, turned around and walked towards the community.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "How many days are you staying in Dongping?"

"Two or three days, if something happens, I may leave tomorrow."

"Oh, is the seventh day off?"

"Number seven..."

Before he could reply, Yuan Xue had already left, this time for real.

Li Dong stared at her back for a while, until Yuan Xue disappeared completely, then murmured: "Number seven?"

After thinking about it for a while,

Li Dongcai muttered, "Isn't it the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month?"

...

It was not ten o'clock when Li Dong got home.

However, people in the county went to bed early, and their parents had already gone to bed. Li Dong washed up and was just about to go back to the house on tiptoe, when the door of his parents' room opened.

Cao Fang rubbed her eyes and said in a low voice: "Xiaolan sleeps in your room, you can spend the night on the sofa."

Li Dong had a bitter face, sadly.

I am a billionaire boss, so you let me sleep on the sofa?

It's a pity that Cao Fang didn't care if he was the big boss or not, she moved two quilts out of the room, yawned and said, "The air conditioner in the living room is on, it won't freeze you, don't sleep too late."

"understood."

Li Dong replied, and when Cao Fang closed the door, Li Dong spread the quilt on the sofa and turned on the TV for a while.

Around eleven o'clock, Li Dong turned off the TV and went to sleep.

At night, Li Dong felt that someone was covering him with a quilt while he was half asleep and half awake.

He didn't open his eyes, but Li Dong smelled a faint fishy smell, it should be his father.

I didn't care too much, and continued to sleep.

...

The next day, when Li Dong woke up, it was already bright.

Opening his eyes and looking out the window, Li Dong yawned, only then did he notice that there was an extra girl beside him.

Li Lan seemed a little timid. Seeing Li Dong looking at her, she quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to look again.

Li Dong smiled and said, "Wake up so early?"

Li Lan nodded, and said as lowly as a mosquito: "Yes."

"How many days off do you have?"

"Three days."

"What grade are you in?"

"Second year of junior high school."

"..."

Basically, Li Dong asked a question, and Li Lan only answered a question.

Li Dong didn't speak, and Li Lan didn't make a sound either. They lowered their heads and rubbed their fingers uneasily.

It wasn't until Cao Fang came out of the kitchen that Li Lan breathed a sigh of relief and called, "Second Aunt."

Cao Fang smiled and said, "Lan Lan, I'm ready to eat. I don't know what you would like to eat. I bought steamed stuffed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, and siu mai. You can also have porridge if you want..."

Li Lan hurriedly said, "Second Aunt, I can eat whatever I want."

Cao Fang smiled and nodded, "Then you can eat whatever you like. You are welcome at our house."

After finishing speaking, he shouted to Li Dong: "What time is it, put on clothes, wash your face and brush your teeth, and eat!"

Li Dong complained: "Mom, am I your own son? How do you feel that Xiaolan is here, and I'm here?"

"Be less talkative, whether you eat or not, forget it."

Li Dong muttered a few words, got dressed, washed up and started eating.

After eating, Cao Fang said, "I'll go to the store later, Xiaolan will be handed over to you, you take her out to play, your father is too busy to leave."

"Okay, let's go."

"Well, by the way, when are you leaving?"

"No rush, if Pingchuan is fine, I'm not in a hurry to go back for now."

There is no major issue in Pingchuan for the time being, the only thing that needs to be concerned is the price war with several other stores.

But now the price war is coming to an end, at most half a month, those guys should not be able to hold on anymore.

Carrefour and Tesco can hold on for a while, and Yi Chu Lotus has already posted a transfer sign.

Yichu Lotus Capital was originally not as good as the other two. In addition, it was also isolated and helpless in Jiangbei, and its main business area was not in the East China generation. It is not making money now, and it is understandable to retreat.

Although it has not closed for the time being, Yi Chu Lotus should withdraw from Jiangbei at the beginning of next year at the latest.

Of the six large supermarkets, three were chased and beaten by Li Dong.

Now that Yichu Lotus has withdrawn, Carrefour and Tesco can't last long, and Li Dong can still liberate three stores, even if he loses money, it will be less than before.

In addition, the distribution center and headquarters were also disposed of by Li Dong after a year.

As for the 34 stores and 16 stores that have not yet opened, it may be too late this year. There is not enough manpower, so we can only wait for the wave of migrant workers at the beginning of the year to recruit people, and open in the first month.

After all, Li Dong has nothing to do even if he returns to Pingchuan now.

Sun Tao and the others can handle other small matters by themselves.

But at the latest on the new year's day, he will definitely go back, and the annual meeting in the distance will be on that day.

Seeing what Li Dong said, Cao Fang stopped asking, now Li Dong doesn't need her to worry.

After Cao Fang left, Li Dong asked Li Lan, "Is there anything else you want to play?"

Li Lan shook her head.

Li Dong said with a smile: "Why are you being polite to me, I am your brother, so why not be embarrassed."

Li Lan blushed, but still shook her head without speaking.

Li Dong scratched his head a little, he is not good at coaxing children.

Although Li Lan was in his teens, he was still a kid in Li Dong's eyes. He couldn't figure out what he was thinking and what he liked.

It's fine if you don't understand, Li Dongdao: "Well, I won't ask anymore. Clean up, I'll take you out for a walk, and play whatever you see."

Seeing that Li Lan was about to shake his head again, Li Dong made a final decision: "That's it, don't shake your head."

The corners of Li Lan's mouth rose slightly, she nodded and said nothing.

...

After leaving the house, Zhou Haidong had already driven downstairs and waited.

Li Dong greeted Zhou Haidong and asked, "Wang Cheng, are they okay?"

Wang Chengcheng was one of those scouts. Because his parents didn't go to Pingchuan, Li Dong has been arranging several people to protect his parents.

Counting the days, these people have been in Dongping for almost three months, and I don't know how the situation is now.

Zhou Haidong replied after hearing the words: "It's not bad. In fact, they are very relaxed. They almost don't work and get paid for nothing. Mr. Li doesn't have to worry about them."

Li Dong smiled, and said to Li Lan who was curious beside him: "Get in the car, let's go to the Oriental Plaza, where there are many people, so it's more lively."

"Um."

Li Lan got into the car, huddled in the back seat and didn't dare to move, Li Dong frowned and didn't speak.

I don't know how Chen Jing was raised, and Li Lan is too timid.

In the generation of the Li family, although Li Dong looked down on Li Nanming and Li Qing, the brothers and sisters were not timid, and Li Dong was not a timid person, but Li Lan was very timid.

This has nothing to do with congenital factors, it is entirely the influence of the acquired environment.

Li Dong shook his head, and wanted to change Li Lan, but it didn't happen overnight, and it was impossible for Li Lan to follow him all the time, so he could only say his best.

...

Oriental Plaza.

Because it has entered the twelfth lunar month, many people have come out to buy new year's goods, and even some migrant workers have returned to the city.

Today's Oriental Plaza is very lively, full of people.

Li Dong and Li Lan got off the car beside the Oriental Plaza, seeing Li Lan timidly following behind them, Li Dong held her hand and said, "There are so many people, don't get lost, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Li Lan blushed, nodded and said nothing.

Next, Li Dong took Li Lan around.

After a while, Li Lan's hands were full of various snacks, as well as some odds and ends, masks, windmills, hats...

After shopping for about an hour, Li Dong was so crowded in the crowd that he was sweating a little.

Taking Li Lan back to the Oriental Plaza, Li Dong found a place to sit down and rest for a while. Seeing Li Lan staring at the skaters next to him in a daze, he asked, "You want to go too?"

Li Lan shook her head.

Li Dong smiled and said, "Shaking your head means you like it, I understand."

After all, he didn't ask her opinion anymore, and dragged her to the place next to him to rent skates.

As long as you can make money, no one can't think of it.

In the twelfth lunar month, there is no need for an ice rink, just skating on the square, plus there are so many people, there is naturally room for skate rental stalls.

Li Dong led Li Lan to rent two pairs of shoes, five yuan an hour, two pairs ten yuan an hour, the price is not cheap.

After paying another two hundred deposit, Li Dong put on his shoes and led Li Lan to the square.

The square is surrounded by a small area, which is specially provided for these ice skaters, and the surrounding area is covered with red silk.

Li Dong was fairly stable, but Li Lan was a little unsteady when he first came into contact with him, so he carefully supported Li Dong and dared not move.

Seeing this, Li Dong taught, "Don't be nervous, take it easy, keep your feet apart, and swing your hands..."

While teaching, let Li Lan help him start to move.

Li Lan was a little nervous at first, her limbs were stiff, but she soon relaxed.

Gradually, Li Lan was able to let go of Li Dong and slide up a certain distance by herself.

After a while, Li Lan became more and more proficient, with joy on her face, she slid to Li Dong's side and said excitedly, "Brother, I can slip by myself!"

"Yes, you have to be confident. Old Li's family are all smart people. There is nothing they can't learn."

Seeing that Li Lan finally let go, Li Dong couldn't help laughing.

This girl had been with him for more than an hour before, and she didn't say more than ten sentences, either nodding or shaking her head, and now she finally took the initiative to speak.

Li Lan was asked to play by himself, and Li Dong sat beside him and rested for a while.

After more than ten minutes, Li Dong was about to get up to play with Li Lan, when there was a burst of mobile phone music in his pocket.

He took out the phone and looked at it, Li Dong answered with a smile: "Mom, I won't be going back for lunch..."

"Dongzi, something happened to your father!"

Cao Fang's urgent voice came from the phone, and Li Dong's expression changed drastically.

"Don't worry, speak slowly, what's wrong with people?"

Although Li Dong was too nervous, he knew that this was not the time to be in a hurry. Cao Fang was already nervous, and if she was also in a hurry, things would get messed up.

"People are fine, but..."

Upon hearing that the person was fine, Li Dong immediately felt relieved.

As long as people are fine, everything else is easy to talk about.

After Cao Fang finished speaking, Li Dong frowned slightly and said, "Mom, I'll take care of this matter. Don't worry, it's fine."

"That's good, that's good."

Knowing her son's ability, Cao Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

After hanging up the phone, Li Dong shouted to Li Lan: "Xiao Lan, come here!"

Li Lan slid over skillfully, sweating on his head, and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Brother has something to do, I'll let Lao Zhou take you back first, and I'll play with you tomorrow."

Li Lan nodded, and went to change shoes with Li Dong.

At this time Zhou Haidong also came over and whispered to Li Dong: "President Li, Wang Cheng and the others called and said..."

"I see, as long as people are fine, just let Wang Cheng and the others keep an eye on them."

Zhou Haidong nodded quickly.

Li Dong said again: "You take Xiaolan home, I will go there by myself."

Li Lan who was beside him suddenly said, "Brother, I can just go back by myself, let Uncle Zhou accompany you."

Li Dong gave her a slightly surprised look, thought for a while and said, "Let's go together."

Li Lan didn't object, and Zhou Haidong naturally didn't object either. They tidied up and drove away slowly.
