Chapter 938 Too Polite and Unaccustomed
Pingchuan Airport.
Shen Qian picked up Shen Xuehua by car.
Shen Xuehua didn't come to Pingchuan many times, or very rarely.
During Du Anmin's years in Pingchuan, she stayed in the capital most of the time.
In the past, Pingchuan was just an insignificant small city in Shen Xuehua's eyes, even if it was the provincial capital of Jiangbei.
But now, a flood dragon emerged from the shallow water.
Yuanfang Group has risen at a speed that no one can imagine, and it has risen in this city below the third tier in the middle.
In 4 years, Yuanfang Group has become the leading private enterprise in China.
Except for Lenovo, Suning, and Gome, which are a few private enterprises that are stronger than Yuanfang, Yuanfang has already entered the top ten private enterprises in the country.
Even if private enterprises are not listed separately, Yuanfang Group can also hit the list of China's top 50 enterprises this year.
Every time she thought of this, Shen Xuehua felt a little unbelievable, even a little scary.
How many enterprises are there in China?
Including state-owned enterprises, there are too many giants. It is unimaginable that Yuanfang can break into the top 50 within a few years.
Li Dong was penniless at the time. Everyone knew his family background. His parents were ordinary traders, so they couldn't help him much.
Under such circumstances, it is really incredible that Li Dong has risen through industry.
Looking at Pingchuan now, Shen Xuehua suddenly felt a little different from the past.
Although Pingchuan is still the same Pingchuan, but with Li Dong and Yuanfang Group, it just feels different.
While Shen Xuehua was looking out the window, Shen Qian asked while driving: "Mom, how is Dad recently?"
Shen Xuehua regained consciousness, looked at her daughter and smiled, "If Li Dong doesn't make trouble, your father will be in good health."
Shen Qian was a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "Mom, he didn't do anything, besides, he also helped Dad this time. If it wasn't for him..."
"okay.
"Shen Xuehua interrupted helplessly: "I didn't say anything, so it's over. "
Speaking of which, Shen Xuehua opened the car window, let the strong wind blow away her hair, took a deep breath before continuing: "Where are the others?"
"I'm busy in the company, but I agreed with him to have dinner together in the evening.
As you know, the company has been very busy recently.
Carrefour is busy, Yuanfang Technology is also financing, he hasn't rested for several days..."
Shen Qian explained for a while, and Shen Xuehua didn't bother to talk anymore.
I'm just asking casually, there's no need to say so much.
Without asking about his daughter Li Dong, Shen Xuehua changed the subject and said, "What about yourself? From Yuanfang Technology to Yuanfang Fund, are you still used to it?
If you're not used to it, let's invest with Mom, it's better than being the chairman of the Laoshizi Foundation.
I heard that you still have a project to aid patients with infectious diseases, but you don't even know it. When Mom heard the news, she got goosebumps all over her body, and she was afraid of you even thinking about it.
Sissy, listen to Mom, don't stay in the foundation.
I don't want you to leave Pingchuan, you can stay here, but it's better not to go to the Foundation, it's too dangerous. "
Shen Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained: "Mom, it's not as scary as you imagined.
And even though I am the chairman of the board, I actually only read the documents and approved the materials.
Just like Dad, do you think Dad will go to farm by himself?
Of course I would not go to see those patients, even if I did, it would be done with safety measures, even if we wanted to see patients with infectious diseases, the hospital would not agree. "
"But I think it's better to stay away from this..."
"Mom, I'm really fine."
"..."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and the provincial party committee arrived at the compound.
It was the first time for Shen Xuehua to visit the new yard that Shen Qian bought here.
She knew where Li Dong lived, and when she saw the two houses next to each other, Shen Xuehua couldn't help giving Shen Qian a blank look.
This daughter of mine is really in too deep a trap. In the past, Shen Xuehua still expected her daughter to change her mind.
Now she has no hope at all, and as Li Dong's status continues to rise, Shen Xuehua doesn't want to say anything.
However, Shen Xuehua still had some pimples in her heart. Although she didn't reject Li Dong now, she couldn't say she was welcoming or flattering.
She doesn't need to flatter Li Dong, she doesn't lack money or power, and she can't ask Li Dong for anything.
Into the yard.
Shen Qian pulled her luggage into the house, while Shen Xuehua watched from outside the courtyard.
The environment pattern of Shen Qian's side is very similar to that of Li Dong's, even the decoration style is similar.
This is not surprising, Shen Qian hired someone to renovate Li Dong's house at the beginning, so the style is naturally not much different.
Shen Xuehua had never been to Li Dong's place, she just knew that Li Dong lived there, before Du Anmin left, Shen Xuehua passed by several times.
After watching for a while, Shen Qian came out.
Seeing her mother staring at the courtyard wall, Shen Qian hurriedly said: "Mom, let's go inside and drink some water..."
"No need." Shen Xuehua shook her head, and asked Shen Qian, "I thought you would open a door on the courtyard wall, why didn't you open it?"
Shen Qian looked embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Mom, I didn't mess with you today, why are you always making fun of me?"
Shen Xuehua said with a serious face: "Mom made fun of you, I'm serious.
Didn't he say how sincere he is to you?
Since they are so sincere, does it mean that they are all a family?
A family, the houses are connected together, what's wrong with opening the door.
You didn't mention it, it's because we are women, women should be more reserved.
He didn't take the initiative to do it, which means that he doesn't treat you as a family at all, Sissy, even though you can't listen to what Mom says now, and don't want to listen, Mom still wants to say it.
Li Dong is not your best destination, all he has in his eyes is himself.
From my point of view, you seem to have a deep relationship now, maybe in a few years, he has achieved greater development in his career, when you are old and young, and he is young and prosperous, then he will still treat you like he is today?
Men, talking about feelings is not reliable.
Mom is from here, you girl is still too stupid.
In fact, when he gave you shares, you should accept them.
It's not about the money..."
Shen Xuehua was emotional for a while, then shook her head with some disinterestedness and said, "Forget it, Mom won't say it, it's meaningless to say it."
Shen Qian didn't refute this time, she just said: "I believe him."
"Women in love like to talk about trust, you!"
Shen Xuehua obviously dismissed the word "trust", but this time she didn't come here to quarrel with her daughter, so she didn't bother to talk about it.
The two were chatting, and there was a sound of an engine outside the courtyard.
Shen Qian glanced at Shen Xuehua, Shen Xuehua knew that Li Dong should be back, waved her hand and said: "You can go if you want, I will go into the room to rest for a while, and call me at night."
"Mom, let me accompany you."
"Okay, you stay with me, people lose their minds here, and it's useless to stay with me."
Shen Qian smiled wryly again. This time, my mother didn't want to trouble Li Dong when she came here. The key is that she always runs on her, and she has a lot of resentment.
When Shen Xuehua entered the room, Shen Qian thought about it and pushed the door open to the next door.
...
Li's courtyard.
As soon as Li Dong entered the yard, Shen Qian walked over.
Li Dong took off his coat and threw it aside, picked up the teapot and took a sip of water before panting, "Auntie is here?"
"Well, just arrived."
Shen Qian responded, then snatched the teapot from his hand and said angrily, "I don't know when the tea will be served, so I drink it as soon as I pick it up, and I won't be afraid of spoiling my stomach."
Li Dong smiled and said: "It's okay, it should be in the afternoon, and it's still hot.
By the way, I'll wash up and go see my aunt..."
"Let's forget it now, my mother just came into the house to rest, let's have dinner in the evening."
As soon as Li Dong heard it, he lowered his voice and said: "Is your mother holding back her big move, waiting to kill me in seconds at dinner?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes, pinched him and ignored him.
The two sat down on the stone bench while talking.
In May, the weather in Pingchuan became hotter.
Li Dong unbuttoned his shirt, exhaled, "I'm not joking, to be honest, why did Auntie come to Pingchuan this time? She came here just fine, I really don't know what to do..."
Shen Qian was a little unhappy and said: "What do you mean when you come here, I'm here, can my mother come to see me?"
"That's not what I meant, forget it, I said something wrong, I admit it, don't be angry, I still count on you to save the day at night."
Shen Qian chuckled, and the anger just now disappeared.
After chatting for a while, my mother was still at home, and Shen Qian didn't really let it go.
Telling Li Dong to dress more formally at night, Shen Qian didn't say any more, and went back to her yard.
...
7 p.m.
Gracie Restaurant.
This is a French restaurant, and Li Dong came here for the first time.
He arrived early today, and just after sitting down for a while, he saw Shen Qian and Shen Xuehua walking this way together.
Li Dong hurriedly got up to meet him, and said with a smile on his face: "Aunt Shen, you are here. I was just about to go down to pick you up..."
Shen Xuehua replied casually: "Don't be polite, I'm not used to you being so polite. Besides, we just came with you behind your car, it's the same whether you pick it up or not."
Li Dong had no choice but to glance at Shen Qian.
Shen Qian hurriedly took Shen Xuehua's hand and said with a smile: "Mom, aren't you hungry? Li Dong heard that you like French food, so he specially ordered this western restaurant.
When we eat later, you can have a panoramic view of the night view of Pingchuan, the environment here is good, and the taste is also good..."
Shen Qian showed her merits for Li Dong for a while, but Shen Xuehua gave her a blank look and didn't speak.
It's Li Dongding's fault, it would be great if this guy could be so careful.
She didn't need to guess to know that Shen Qian made the decision herself, and it's not that Shen Xuehua didn't know her daughter well.
Too lazy to expose them, Shen Xuehua did not come here this time to find fault.
Sitting down at the dining table by the floor-to-ceiling windows, Shen Xuehua looked out. The sight line here is indeed very good, and the 26th floor is high enough, and there are not many obstacles nearby.
However, the night view of Pingchuan was just average, and Shen Xuehua, who commuted to and from the bustling metropolis, didn't like it too much.
After ordering and waiting for the dishes, Shen Xuehua looked at Li Dong again.
It didn't take long before we met each other during the Chinese New Year, and Li Donghe had some changes before.
More confident, or more aura.
The temperament of a person changes with the change of status.
Li Dong was not from a wealthy family. In the past few years, even if Li Dong had money, he couldn't hide his reckless aura.
In the past few years, as Li Dong's career has expanded, his horizons have gradually broadened.
There are more than 100,000 employees under the banner, and they are used to giving orders. After a long time, they will naturally have a different temperament.
Staring at Li Dong for a while, seeing his embarrassed face, Shen Xuehua laughed, this guy can't even pretend.
It would be nonsense to say how much Li Dong was in awe of her.
This guy is still the rebellious Li Dong in his bones, when he talked with her a few times before, he didn't have any taboos or embarrassment.
But no matter whether it's pretending or not, at least she's saving face, and Shen Xuehua doesn't get into it.
She stared at Li Dong without saying a word, but Shen Qian didn't dare to let the atmosphere continue to be awkward, so she quickly interjected: "Li Dong, I heard that Du Lan is going to Huaxia tomorrow, have you talked with Carrefour?"
"Not yet, I'm going to Shanghai in a few days."
"Oh, that's just right, my aunt and uncle are both in Shanghai, so you can stop by and see them..."
Shen Xuehua at the side couldn't hold back this time, rolled a look at Shen Qian, and smiled at Li Dong: "You don't need to go to Aunt Qianqian's side, you are all busy now, don't delay your business."
Speaking of which, Shen Xuehua asked: "Li Dong, I'm afraid Carrefour is planning to withdraw from Huaxia this time. What do you think?"
Li Dong smiled and said: "I haven't considered it yet, I'll talk about it when I see Du Lan.
However, I will definitely win the Carrefour store in East China.
After all, Yuanfang put in a lot of effort this time, if someone picked the peaches, Yuanfang's early preparations would be in vain. "
"That's true, but I think it's better to be steady.
You are developing too fast in the distance, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. In fact, you shouldn't make such a head this time.
Didn't companies like China Resources and Bailian know that they could use the boycott to suppress Carrefour?
But did you see what they did?
When an enterprise reaches the scale of a distant place, sometimes it not only considers the benefits, but also other influences. "
Li Dong was flattered and said, "Thank you, Aunt Shen, for your guidance."
Shen Xuehua knew from his expression that this guy didn't take it seriously, so she didn't bother to continue talking.
After all, today's Li Dong is invincible in the business world, and she, Shen Xuehua, does not seem to be qualified to talk about her experience in front of Li Dong.
However, Shen Xuehua still felt that this guy was too daring, maybe young people are so daring to take risks.
After thinking about it for a while, the dishes came to the table.
Several people drank red wine, Shen Xuehua frowned slightly after taking a sip, Li Dong, who had been staring at her from the corner of his eye, quickly said: "Aunt Shen, if you are not satisfied, let's change the bottle."
Shen Xuehua shook her head and said: "It's not that you are dissatisfied, in short, you have reached this point, you still need to understand and learn some basic common sense.
Among other things, wine tasting, dress, etiquette, you should understand and learn all of these.
Don't dismiss yourself with the attitude that I'm born recklessly and the hero doesn't ask where he came from.
Etiquette, quality, self-cultivation, these have nothing to do with birth.
If you have the conditions and time to study, then you should study.
Deliberately show a disdainful attitude, this is not what successful people should do, I think you should understand this. "
Li Dong nodded quickly, but there was a murmur in his heart.
Shen Xuehua's preaching attitude today is very different from the past, why does it feel so awkward.
If Shen Xuehua treats him coldly, Li Dong can still accept it a little bit.
Now, Li Dong felt that he was getting goosebumps, and he couldn't help calling himself a jerk, and he had to be rude to him to be comfortable.
