...and Wen Hui also looked excited after hearing Liu Dong's promise, clenching his fists. Nothing could make him happier than having his dream come true for many years!
"Okay, Manager Wen, since your plan is so huge, it seems you won't be able to rest this year!" Liu Dong stood up and said.
"It doesn't matter. As long as Director Liu agrees to this project, it doesn't matter if the Chinese New Year doesn't happen this year!" Wen Hui said quickly.
Having been in the industry for many years, he knows what this project means to his future, so Wen Hui, an upright man in his prime in his thirties, can weigh the New Year and the future, which is more important to him.
After nodding, Liu Dong said: "Because we will start construction in the spring of next year, we have to conduct investment negotiations with the city government in less than two months. Time is very tight, so the seven-day annual leave is reduced to three days.
If your family is far away, the company will reimburse you for the round-trip air tickets, and your salary will be doubled during the annual leave!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the employees who were a little depressed at first because they could not celebrate the New Year became excited again. I have to say that having a generous boss is the happiness of employees!
Next, Liu Dong spent the entire afternoon discussing the specific details of the Yanghe tourism project development with Wen Hui and the staff of the company's design department. He didn't even go back the whole night! It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that all the details were discussed
It is clear that Liu Dong does not need to worry about the rest. He can just leave the negotiations with the ←,w∷ww. municipal government to Wen Hui!
…
Early the next morning, after Liu Dong finished practicing and had breakfast, the phone in his pocket rang!
"Hey Liu Dong, are you back?" the voice of old classmate Chang Fangtao came from the phone.
"I'm back. But didn't you say the class reunion is after the Spring Festival? Why are you calling me now?"
"It's not a class reunion, it's a gathering of brothers from our dormitory!" Chang Fangtao said.
"Okay then, when and where is the place?" There were ten brothers in the same dormitory. Except for Chang Fangtao, Xie Xiao and Gu Liang, Liu Dong had never met the other seven until now.
"The old place, that little restaurant we used to go to when we were in high school, do you still remember it?"
"You're not talking about the 'Qiaoyun Restaurant', are you? It's been four years, is this restaurant still open?" Liu Dongxiao asked.
When Liu Dong was in school, because the food in the school was really not very good, so every Sunday afternoon, ten people would pool their money together to have a meal at a restaurant outside the school. The 'Qiaoyun Restaurant' located opposite the school gate was
It was the restaurant that Liu Dong and the four of them went to the most, and the cooking skills of the proprietress there were very authentic. Liu Dong still remembers it fresh!
"It's still open. When my sister wasn't on vacation, I asked her to take a look!" Chang Fangtao said excitedly.
"That's a good sentiment. We also have a nostalgic theme, so let's decide on that! By the way. Will everyone in our dormitory go?"
"No, You Qiang didn't come back from Qingdao, Lao Sun was in Hong Kong, Liu Lei didn't come home from Beijing, everyone else has returned!" Chang Fangtao said.
"I know!" Liu Dong still felt a little regretful that he couldn't gather all the brothers together!
"By the way, our dinner time is at noon, don't be late!"
"Do not worry!"
…
The time from morning to noon passed the fastest. At about eleven o'clock, Liu Dong left Lin Ling behind and went to the city hall to participate in negotiations with Wen Hui as his spokesperson. After that, Liu Dong drove to Gaoliu by himself.
town!
"Liu Dong!"
"Wang Hua!" Liu Dong just stepped out of the car, and a young man of medium height, wearing a black down jacket, slender figure, and a slender figure came up to him with an excited expression!
The two of them calmed down a little after a bear hug.
"You're a pretty good kid. If I hadn't just said that this Land Rover was yours, I almost wouldn't have dared to recognize it!" Wang Hua punched Liu Dong in the chest and said with a smile.
"Haha, it's not bad! It's beyond my expectation that you got admitted to Xi'an Jiaotong University. If I were still in school at that time, I would have treated you like a treat!"
"It's not too late to ask for help!" Xie Xiao echoed from behind.
"Okay, you, a rich man, should stop exploiting us poor students who cannot support themselves!" Wang Hua said with a smile.
After smiling, Liu Dong said: "By the way, why are there only the three of you, and where are the others?"
"Wen Qiang's family lives a little far away. Zheng Feng drove to pick him up. Gu Liang will be there in a moment!" Chang Fangtao said with a smile.
"Let's go in first, it's too cold outside!"
After Chang Fangtao finished speaking, Liu Dong and others nodded, opened the thick curtains, and walked into the small restaurant with only a dozen tables and less than 100 square meters in size.
"This place is much bigger than before!" Liu Dong came in and looked around and said.
"It's been almost four years, of course there have to be some changes. Everyone, sit down!" Xie Xiao said.
Because there were still three people who didn't come, Liu Dong and the others didn't order anything, so they started chatting with each other after sitting down.
"Huazi, you will graduate from college next year. Have you thought about what you will do in the future?" Liu Dong asked.
“I’ve never thought of this before!”
"Okay, stop pretending!...Liu Dong, you don't know, this guy got a quota for his school's government-sponsored international students, and he will go to the United States to study at university in the next year!"
"Really?" Liu Dong and Xie Xiao asked almost simultaneously.
"Well, Columbia University Law Department!" Wang Hua said with an excited smile on his face. It is really difficult to study abroad in this era!
"Okay, buddy! A world-famous school, the Ivy League!" Liu Dong patted the old man on the shoulder, and was sincerely happy for him. When Feng Jianhui, Yang Ke and many other returning talents gathered under him, Liu Dong's knowledge of all the schools in the world
We also have some understanding of famous universities. Columbia University in the United States is among the top five in the world!
"I didn't expect that I would be able to choose! However, speaking of it, I am still not as good as you. You are your own boss now. I have to find a job after graduating from college, or work for others!"
"Okay, okay, you two, stop flattering each other and making me and Xie Xiao miserable. We are so jealous!"
"that is!"……
"Hey, they're here!" Just when Wang Hua was about to say something, a group of three people opened the door and walked in!
"Gu Liang, Zheng Feng, Wen Qiang!" The old man Xue was naturally excited to meet him!
After greeting each other, we sat down. However, one table seemed too small for seven of them, so the boss finally satisfied them by putting two tables together!
"Liu Dong, I haven't seen you for more than three years. You must drink enough for today's meal, otherwise the brothers will not agree!" Wen Qiang, the tallest among the seven, said with a smile.
"Yes, Lao Wen is right. You were dishonest in high school and pretended to be drunk every time you drank. You can't do that this time!"
Zheng Feng's words were also echoed by others.
"Okay, isn't it just drinking? At worst, I won't drive today, and I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman!" Liu Donghao said angrily.
"That's pretty much it! Boss, bring me the best wine here!" Wen Qiang said.
Although it is said to be the best wine, the best wine in this small shop is only Yunmenchun, a local product from Qingzhou! But when you meet a close friend, a thousand cups of wine are too few, and what everyone wants is just to get drunk!
After the boss brought the dishes and drank a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table became more lively. Two hours passed between changing glasses! And this dinner party has come to an end!
When they finally paid the bill, the seven of them wanted to reminisce about the high school atmosphere, so they insisted on the AA system. Of course, a meal would only cost two to three hundred yuan!
"Hey, let's go to the school and take a look. It's all here, and it's so close!" Liu Dong suggested.
"Okay, it's almost the Chinese New Year anyway, there's nothing to do when I go home, let's go!"
After Wang Hua finished speaking, Wen Qiang said: "All the students are on vacation, is there anyone in the school?"
"Of course there are people. You forgot that there is a teacher living in there!" Chang Fangtao said, holding Wen Qiang's shoulders.
"That's right. After drinking some wine, my mind started to get confused!" Wen Qiang shook his head mockingly.
"Let's go!" Liu Dong greeted, and everyone followed him. Fortunately, Liu Dong knew the old Wangtou, the gatekeeper, and the students were all on holiday, otherwise they would have been drunk and staggering.
You really don't have to let them in.
"Hey, look at the photos of Lao Wen, Hua Zi and Gu Zi on the bulletin board here!" Xie Xiao said.
"Hey, we have known it for a long time! East China Normal University in Lao Wen, Xi'an Jiaotong University in Huazi, and Qinghai in Guzi are all 211 and 985 key universities. Anyone who has been admitted to a key university will be posted on this bulletin board.
!”
After Zheng Feng finished speaking, Wen Qiang nodded and said with a hint of memory on his face: "I remember when we hadn't graduated yet, we would have been envious every time we looked at these people. Now we ourselves are about to graduate from college.
Looking back now, I feel really complicated!"
"It's a pity that Liu Dong had not left back then, he would have been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University like Mei Xue, and now he would be a turtle like Hua Zi!" Chang Fangtao shook his head.
Hearing this, Liu Dong looked away from the familiar yet unfamiliar beauty in the first photo and said: "It's no pity. Everyone has his own destiny. Maybe I won't be able to go to university in this life!"
Noticing that Liu Dong was not in high spirits, the few of them stopped wandering around the bulletin board. Instead, they walked around the quiet campus along the cement corridor. Every time they saw a familiar place, everyone was reminded of the three years they were studying there.
The many green memories left in the middle of the year make people deeply nostalgic!
After waiting for the playground, dining room, dormitory, and even lying outside the door, after taking a look at the former teacher, everyone went to meet the former head teacher Chen Liande. Unfortunately, the door was locked at home, and in the end, I could only leave with regret!
Since only Liu Dong, Chang Fangtao and Zheng Feng had cars, the three of them took on the task of sending the other four home!
…
After the day's trip, Liu Dong returned home and was inevitably complained by his mother!
The next day, Liu Dong drove to the city again. As for Wang Qiang, she wanted to have a good relationship with Liu's mother, so she didn't follow him.
After waiting outside Chang Fangtao's community and picking him up, Liu Dong said, "Didn't you buy your own car?"
Yesterday, he remembered Chang Fangtao saying that he exchanged the original painting of Zhao Yunhe for a Santana!
"My shabby car is as domineering as your Land Rover! Let's go quickly, otherwise the art exhibition will start later!" Chang Fangtao said quickly.
"Where is the address? Is it your uncle's calligraphy and painting city?" Liu Dong came here today because Chang Fangtao said that the first Qingzhou calligraphy and painting exhibition was opening today. There were many works by famous artists, which made Liu Dong look forward to it!
"Yes, that's right there!"
After Chang Fangtao finished speaking, Liu Dong, who was familiar with the route, stepped on the accelerator, and the Land Rover under his feet immediately sped out. By the time the two of them arrived, the opening ceremony had ended. After finally finding a parking space, the two of them followed the flow of people.
Went in.
Out of politeness, Liu Dong naturally had to say hello to Chang Fangtao's uncle Ma Zhengfang when he arrived here. Then he walked up the elevator to the second floor. The place was already crowded with people, and almost every work was surrounded by ten people.
A few people, including painters who participated in art exhibitions and broadened their horizons, but more of them were collectors and collection institutions! There were very few people who really wanted to watch the excitement, because this art exhibition requires tickets for the first three days, and only for the next week.
The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge during the exhibition hours!
After Liu Dong and Chang Fangtao came up, they also joined the crowd. However, the exhibition on the second floor was mainly oil paintings, and there were also a small number of prints, which did not match the research direction of Chang Fangtao, who specializes in traditional Chinese painting appraisal, so he was just watching the excitement.
, but Liu Dong watched it with gusto!
But when Liu Dong saw a large oil painting that was three meters long and two meters high, he was stunned!
"What's wrong?" Chang Fangtao asked strangely.
In his opinion, the huge oil painting showing the waterfall in front of him was really shocking, but he understood why Liu Dong was so excited!
"This is Mr. Wu's oil painting!"
"Mr. Wu?" Chang Fangtao soon realized that the Mr. Wu Liu Dong mentioned was Wu Guanzhong, the most influential oil painter in the domestic oil painting industry!
"I didn't expect to see Mr. Wu's paintings in this art exhibition. It's incredible! Mr. Chang, I want to buy this painting!" Liu Dong said firmly.
Liu Dong, who was determined to collect Mr. Wu's paintings, naturally couldn't let go of them when he encountered them.
"Buy it? Liu Dong, the reserve price of this painting is two million? Have you thought it through?" Chang Fangtao said with wide eyes.
"I know!"
After acquiring Jiahua and investing 100 million Huaxia coins, Liu Dong only had one-third of the 150 million he earned from the Black Tiger Gang, which was later withdrawn from Chenxiang Pavilion's profit of more than 10 million this year.
After taking part of it, plus Xie Zhong and Lin Fuxing's share of the stone gambling, Liu Dong theoretically still has 95 million in hand. However, in the middle, he spent more than 500 yuan to renovate the Chenxiangge Daocheng branch and the Crouching Mountain villa.
Ten thousand.
During Liu Dong's trip to the island city, as well as other daily minor expenses, he lost more than two million!
