Chapter 643 (1/2)
After sending Shen Xi home, it's more than eleven o'clock.
Because of Cao Fang's absence, Li Chengyuan has been busy a lot recently, and he is tired. When Li Dong gets home, Li Chengyuan has already fallen asleep.
Li Dong lowered his voice and was about to go back to his room to wash. Li Chengyuan suddenly came out of the room.
With a sleepy look at Li Dong, Li Cheng Yuan yawned and said, ”I'm so busy today. I'm not back until now.”
”Not bad, Dad. You should go and have a look today. The annual meeting of the company is very lively.”
”I don't care. The hotel is busy today. By the way, I didn't eat anything in the evening. I brought you something to eat and asked the chef to cook a pot of eight treasure porridge for you. Now I'll heat you up and drink some to fill your stomach. ”
”Forget it...”
”It's better to have some. Your mother called me several times today and asked me specially. She is not at home on Laba Festival, and we are busy. Your mother has already prepared for it
”Laba Festival?”
Li Dong suddenly froze for a moment, some muddled way: ”Dad, today is the eighth day of the lunar month?”
”Yes, you don't know?”
Li Chengyuan said strangely, ”I thought you knew it when you chose to hold the annual meeting today.”
”I...”
Li Dong looks speechless. He knows a fart!
He is busy all day now, and he always uses the Gregorian calendar in his mind. No one reminds him of it.
People in the company thought he knew, and no one specifically reminded him.
In addition, Laba Festival is different from other traditional festivals. There are not many people who care about this side of Jiangbei, so we don't attach too much importance to it.
Li Dong remembered at this time that it was no wonder that porridge was prepared for everyone at the banquet at the annual meeting. His feelings were due to today's festival.
In fact, Li Dong doesn't care too much about Laba Festival. The key point is that Laba Festival is not just Laba Festival!
He raised his hand and looked at the time. Seeing that it was almost 12 o'clock, Li Dong said in a hurry: ”Dad, don't be busy. I'm not hungry now. You sleep in your room. I'll eat it myself in the morning.”
”It's past Laba tomorrow. I'd better heat it up for you.”
”Then you are busy. I'll make a phone call.”
”Go ahead.”
Li Chengyuan didn't have much to do. He rubbed his eyes and went into the kitchen to get busy.
……
Entering the room, Li Dong quickly picked up his mobile phone and dialed yuan Xue's phone.
The telephone soon passed, and Li Dong immediately said, ”haven't you slept yet?”
”Well.”
Yuan Xue should a, and then the way: ”you did not sleep?”
”I just came back after my busy work. I've been very busy recently. Today, the annual meeting of the company was held. There were people from the province and the city, and a large group of colleagues wanted to be entertained. I was so tired that I almost vomited blood.”
Li Dong complained a few bitter words, and Yuan Xue on the other side of the phone comforted him: ”don't be too tired of yourself. You can't earn enough money. You'd better have more rest if you have time.”
”Well, that's what I think. I'll be able to take a break after the new year. By the way, when are you going to America? ”
”About March.”
”Isn't it over there yet? Two years ago, it's almost time to go back to China in June this year. ”
”It's not settled yet. Let's talk about it then.”
“……”
Two people chatted for a while, Li Dong has been staring at his watch, waiting for the time to cross 12 o'clock, Li Dong hurriedly said: ”Happy Birthday!”
There was a quiet moment on the opposite side of the phone. After a while, the sound of the big clock came from somewhere. Laba passed.
After the bell struck, Yuan Xuecai said quietly, ”I thought you forgot.”
Li Dong said with a smile: ”how can I? I've been preparing to call you before, but I'm really busy. Then I thought, I have to choose a special time to wish you a happy birthday. You see, I am the one who will accompany you to spend the last second of your birthday. Am I moved? ”
”Pooh
Yuan Xue, on the other side of the phone, suddenly burst into laughter, and after a while, he did not have a good airway: ”I'm really stupid! You must have forgotten that you just deliberately complained to me for reasons. But for the sake of your recollection, I won't tear you apart. ”
Li Dong gave a dry smile and coughed: ”it's not snowing this year, so I won't give any presents. Besides, when I have time after Chinese new year, I'll go to Dongping to see you. ”
”Well, you are busy now. Don't delay your time. Besides, my parents asked me to thank you for them. If it hadn't been for you, our family would not have been able to get through this difficult time this year. ”
”Don't mention it. Thank you many times.”
Li Dong chatted with her for a while. When Li Chengyuan's voice came from outside the door, Li Dong said: ”it's more than 12 o'clock. Go to bed early. Women tend to get old if they stay up late.”
”I'm not waiting for you yet!”
Yuan Xue murmured in a low voice, and Li Dong burst into laughter.
On the other side of the phone, Yuan Xue seemed to know that she had said something wrong. She said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Listening to the ”Dudu” sound in the phone, Li Dong shook his head and laughed for a while.This night, Li Dong slept soundly, but some people couldn't sleep all night.
……
January 27th.
There was no big event at home or abroad.
However, the major domestic media and the major web portals on the Internet have caused a stir.
”What's Li Donghao throwing a billion dollars for?”
”The youngest philanthropist!”
”The successor of charity!”
”The post-85's have become the mainstream of philanthropy!”
……
One news piece after another, Li Dong became a domestic celebrity in an instant.
Billion!
Although Li Dong announced that he would only donate 500 million yuan this year, everyone unconsciously ignored this figure and naturally chose to exaggerate.
At this moment, the focus of public attention is not how much money li Dong said to donate.
News came out of the moment, the network, the media have been discussed.
Some people say that Li Dong is stupid. Some people say that Li Dong is a psychopath. He has too much money to spend.
Of course, swearing is only a small number of people.
These people may be envious or envious, and their oaths will soon be drowned in praise.
A young man who started his own business from scratch after 1985, spent a lot of money to do charity in a few years. Whether it is to promote positive energy or for other purposes, high praise is inevitable.
What's more, it's not just spontaneous media propaganda, but even behind the scenes.
This promoter is not derogatory, but the government propaganda department acquiesced in the myth of Li Dong and pushed him out.
There are many reasons. On the one hand, Li Dong is young and has an important influence among the young generation. The myth of Li Dong is conducive to guiding them to establish correct values.
On the other hand, it is the nature of enterprises far away.
If they work in other industries far away, or if they conflict with the mainstream consciousness of society, such as the real estate industry, the official media may not be willing to add fuel to the flames.
But far away, they are mainly engaged in the retail industry. The mainstream of society does not crowd out or antagonize the retail industry, which makes it easy to understand the official attitude.
In addition to these, the other thing is that it is worth promoting.
There is a big gap between domestic philanthropy and foreign philanthropy. Many rich people in China are not very enthusiastic about charity.
Although people like Niu Gensheng are also enthusiastic about charity, they are relatively small.
Some big enterprises are OK. They are not against charity, either for the sake of face or for the sake of profit. However, domestic wealth is not only focused on these people.
There are a lot of rich people, out of all kinds of fear, or because of the old ancestor's famous saying, wealth is not revealed, so many people cling to their wealth and dare not show their wealth.
This has also led to domestic philanthropy, which has been done by a small number of people, while most people choose to watch.
Now with Li Dong, it is of great significance.
Hong Kong and Macao don't say anything about it. The people who do charity in the inland area have always been middle-aged and elderly people. In many people's minds, they do charity because they enjoy enough and can't spend enough money.
Li Dong, who is only in his early twenties this year, is not yet ready to enjoy himself at his age.
In this case, Li Dong spent so much money on charity, which also brought a shock to the public.
It turns out that charity is not only for the middle-aged and the elderly, but also for the young people!
Under the synthesis of various factors, Li dongche was in a bad mood.
