Becoming famous in this way was not what Xu Tongdao wanted.
If he could choose, he would rather not become famous in this way.
However, news media across the country wanted to report on this matter and his Ximen Group, and he was unable to intervene.
Not only was he unable to intervene, he was quickly surrounded by a group of media reporters.
A group of media reporters who came from nowhere, holding microphones and cameras, blocked the door of his company and wanted to interview him.
Tongdao Xu, who was not proud of this incident, could only choose to hide.
Avoiding these reporters, under the cover of Zheng Meng and Sun Aizi, he remained silent throughout the whole process, got into his car, and rushed home.
After that, he didn't go out or go to the company for more than half a month.
He did not want to be interviewed by any media.
Because he felt guilty.
As a reborn person, he knew that this earthquake would happen, but he was limited by his own ability and could only do so much, and could not save more people.
The guilt in his heart made him unable to face the media, let alone talk about his merits in front of reporters.
only……
Once again, things backfired.
Even after he declined interviews from all media outlets, those media outlets still reported on him.
One media after another reported his refusal to be interviewed.
Then……
Tongdao Xu, who has been hiding at home for more than half a month, sees people praising him on the Internet every day.
I praise entrepreneurs like him who do good deeds without publicizing them as models of entrepreneurs.
In other words, he clearly did not accept any interviews from any media. That day, many media reporters surrounded him and asked him to say a few words, but he did not say a word, which made his impression in the eyes of netizens even better.
Except for a better reputation.
Over the past half month, there are even more affordable benefits.
——The stock price of the only listed company under his name, Ximen Yipin Food Co., Ltd.... Comrade Xu listened to reports on the phone and it has been rising recently.
The market demand for Ximen Yipin brand instant noodles has continued to expand recently.
The production lines in the factory are running 24 hours a day, working around the clock to produce products, but demand still exceeds supply.
Just judging from its reputation on the Internet, Ximen Yipin Instant Noodles seems to have a tendency to become the leading instant noodle company in the country in recent times.
In just half a month, the share price of Ximen Yipin Instant Noodles more than tripled.
And it continues to rise.
In other words, in the past half month, Xu's net worth has at least more than doubled without doing anything.
This made his feelings even more complicated.
He felt guilty for earning such money.
Therefore, he called Ximen Yipin Food Co., Ltd. to continue increasing donations to the disaster areas. In addition to continuously donating truckloads of instant noodles, he also began donating funds.
…
One night.
Comrade Xu couldn't bear the repeated phone invitations from Luo Yong and Yan Shijin, so he took a car to Yan Shijin's Sun Moon Star Resort Villa in the dark.
In fact, in the past half month or so, Luo Yong and Yan Shijin had called him many times to invite him to drink.
But they were all declined by Xu Tongdao.
He was afraid of being surrounded by a group of reporters again.
Recently, he could only feel peaceful by hiding in the villa in Zhusi Garden.
But it was inappropriate for him to refuse Luo Yong and Yan Shijin's repeated invitations. In addition, there seemed to be no reporters surrounding him recently, so he tried to take advantage of the darkness to take a car to Yan Shijin's villa.
In a small wooden house.
Luo Yong, Yan Shijin, and Xu Tongdao finally got together again after more than three months.
When Comrade Xu arrived, delicious food and wine were already on the table.
As soon as he arrived, Yan Shijin and Luo Yong greeted him and quickly took his seat.
When he sat down, Yan Shijin still smiled and joked: "Mr. Xu, it's really not easy to treat you to a drink recently!"
Luo Yong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, agreed with a smile: "Yes! Not to mention Lao Yan, I have called you at least seven or eight times, right? Haha..."
Tongdao Xu looked helpless, "Brothers, you are not in my recent situation, so don't condemn me. In this case, I will punish myself first, okay?"
Before he finished speaking, Yan Shijin said: "No! How many times have you insulted us recently? How about punishing yourself with one drink? At least three! Right, Lao Luo?"
Luo Yong echoed again: "Yes! At least three drinks! Mr. Xu, if you are really sincere and want us to forgive you, then at least three drinks! It's up to you!"
Both of them were smiling and looking at Tongdao Xu expectantly.
What else could Tongdao Xu say?
Three people are drinking, and two people have formed a united front. Can he still resist?
I could only nod, pick up the wine glass, and finish the three glasses of wine one after another.
After three glasses of white wine, his stomach felt burning.
Yan Shijin and Luo Yong were satisfied.
The atmosphere at the table immediately became harmonious. Yan Shijin and Luo Yong both urged Comrade Xu to take a few bites of the food, as if they had not forced Comrade Xu to drink the three glasses of wine just now.
In a harmonious atmosphere, the three of them ate, drank, and chatted casually.
About half an hour later, Comrade Xu took the initiative and asked: "Brothers, you two have been asking me to come over for a drink recently. Is there something wrong? Can you tell me now? While I'm not drunk yet, tell me if you have anything.
!After a while, when I’m drunk, I won’t be able to remember what you said to me!”
Yan Shijin and Luo Yong's eyes met and they communicated silently with their eyes. Then Yan Shijin spoke: "Brother! I heard that the stock price of your instant noodle company has tripled or quadrupled recently? Is this true?"
Tongdao Xu didn't understand the purpose of asking this question for a while, but the rise in stock prices is a fact and can be seen by anyone who cares. There is no point in denying it here.
So, he nodded and said yes.
He continued to look at Yan Shijin.
Yan Shijin cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations! Brother, you have made a fortune now. The combined assets of Lao Luo and I should be less than half of yours, right Lao Luo?"
Luo Yong nodded: "That's for sure! His company's stock price has risen like that!"
Tongdao Xu frowned, what on earth did these two people want to say?
Could it be that you want to borrow money from me again?
I was doubtful in my heart, but I was already speaking modestly, "How can it be such an exaggeration? Brother, please don't embarrass me. I don't own the company, and my shares are limited. Besides, the stock price will rise, unless I have my hands on it."
Sell the shares, otherwise, you won’t be able to get the increased money, right?”
Yan Shijin and Luo Yong laughed.
Immediately, Luo Yong said: "We won't argue with you about this. Brother, Lao Yan and I have been wanting to invite you over for a drink recently. We really have something we want to discuss with you. Well... Look, the Ximen Real Estate that you solely own,
Now that the reputation is so good, Lao Yan and I have an idea, please listen to it!"
Xu Tongdao frowned and listened.
Luo Yong: "We want our Sanyuan Real Estate to merge with your Ximen Real Estate. After the merger, we will also think of ways to make our real estate company public. What do you think?"
