When Li Jie was hesitating, the classic Nokia ringtone suddenly came from the mobile phone in his pocket. This ringtone came from 1902 and was composed by Spanish guitarist Francisco Tarrega. This ancient melody accompanied Nokia's
It became popular all over the world and became the ringtone of countless people's mobile phones.
I took out my cell phone and looked at the caller ID. As expected, it was Shi Mu.
"Hey, Mom, what's wrong?"
"Son, are you at the station?"
"arrive."
"Oh, okay, please call the driver, Uncle Liu. He is waiting for you in the parking lot. Go home early. What do you want me to say about you? You are not resting at home during the winter vacation, but running around outside.
"
"I know, thank you, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jie shook his head helplessly. He originally planned to go to Tongdeli, but now that he is well, he should go home. Following the guidance of the driver Liu Mingde, it took Li Jie a few minutes to find a parking space.
Liu Mingde's subtle change in attitude caught Li Jie's attention. Liu Mingde's attitude towards him before could be described as neither enthusiastic nor cold, but this time he became uncharacteristically enthusiastic and his tone was more respectful.
Liu Mingde followed Bai Hongwen for more than ten years and worked hard without complaint. After Bai Hongwen became rich, he also offered to send him to further study, but Liu Mingde refused. He said that the current job was very good and he didn't want to change anything.
In the end, this matter was dropped. Although Liu Mingde was just a driver and his position seemed to be low, all employees within the group knew that he was definitely one of the chairman's most trusted confidants. The subtle changes in Liu Mingde's attitude were astonishing.
The accident should be because of Bai Hongwen.
The outbreak of the global financial crisis has begun to take shape. The most obvious change is that financing has become more difficult. The sense of capital is always the most sensitive. The stock market and futures market have gathered a large amount of capital. Recently, the U.S. stock indexes have fallen one after another. Although the world's
Regional central banks have sounded the clarion call to rescue the market one after another, but it is still difficult to contain the outbreak of the crisis, and the capital winter is coming.
Recently, the five major investment banks on Wall Street have been making frequent moves in the capital market. Among them, Bear Stearns, which is most enthusiastic about the subprime mortgage business, is already standing on the edge of the cliff. Another Wall Street giant, Lehman Brothers, who is enthusiastic about commercial real estate, has also introduced a series of measures.
Launch a crazy self-rescue.
Although the crisis has not officially broken out yet, these signs obviously cannot be hidden from Bai Hongwen, who continues to pay attention to changes in the capital market.
Panic is prevalent, public opinion is overwhelming, and it is unstoppable. The more suppressed it is, the more violent the outbreak will be in the future. Bai Hongwen understands this very well.
Even though Bai Hongwen didn't express the change in his attitude towards Li Jie, he still didn't hide it from his close confidant Liu Mingde. The most direct change in Liu Mingde's attitude was in the title, from the indifferent 'young master' to the friendly one now.
'Tian Dong'.
Li Jie didn't really care about Bai Hongwen's attitude. The reason why he reminded Bai Hongwen before was mainly for Shi Mu. After all, the two of them were going to live together for the rest of their lives. Li Jie didn't want to see Shi Mu worrying about the Bai Group.
, if Li Jie devoted himself wholeheartedly to the business world, it would not be very difficult to create another 'Bai Group' from scratch.
However, in this way, there is no distinction between priorities. The most important thing when entering the mission world is to complete the mission. Money is enough. Besides, saving Su Mingyu really has nothing to do with money. Li Jie has already had it.
A package designed to grab money quickly.
If you have no desires, you will be strong.
Since he did not plan to rely on the power of the Bai Group, Li Jie naturally had the same attitude as before, and still maintained an attitude of neither closeness nor alienation towards the somewhat over-enthusiastic Liu Mingde.
Liu Mingde kept trying to be friendly on the way, and Li Jie gave him partial responses from time to time. How could Liu Mingde be the opponent of a high-level player like Li Jie? He didn't notice Li Jie's "perfunctory" at all, but after getting off the car, he was like
Looks satisfied.
Stepping into the house, Shi's mother heard the sound and looked at Li Jie up and down carefully with a concerned look on her face.
"You have lost weight. You said you are only a freshman. Why are you so anxious and busy making money? If you really want to use money, tell me. There is no need to be so hard on yourself."
Li Jie smiled slightly, walked closer, hugged Shi Mu and whispered: "Mom, I'm so old now, it's time to be independent. Besides, am I back?"
"Peilan, Tiandong is right, don't blame him. The chicks will leave the nest sooner or later, otherwise how can they spread their wings and fly high!
Tiandong, my uncle supports you in doing this. Young people should try their best. When I was your age, I didn’t have the awareness you did, otherwise the Bai Group would probably reach a higher level now."
Bai Hongwen didn't have any bad feelings towards Li Jie for what the original owner had done before, and of course he didn't have any good impressions either. All in all, if it weren't for the stone mother as a link between them, they would basically be strangers.
Shi's mother did not agree with Bai Hongwen's point of view. She turned around and rolled her eyes at her husband. However, she did not talk about the topic just now. Instead, she invited everyone to eat. Today's dinner table was a little different from before. Most of the things on the table were
It's the original owner's favorite dish.
When Bai Le'an came down from upstairs, his expression changed slightly when he saw the dishes on the dinner table. This small change made him deeply realize that his position was already in jeopardy. However, he was very sensible and didn't say anything. He just behaved while eating.
I have some loss of appetite.
When Shi Mu found out, she thought the food was not to Bai Le'an's taste, and she felt a little sorry. She would not have done this before, but after Li Jie went to college, he spent much less time at home than before. Shi Mu weighed it up.
After that, I decided to take a little care of my biological son's taste. After all, Bai Le'an was at home almost every day, while Li Jie only came home once in a while.
Bai Hongwen would occasionally chat with Li Jie at the dinner table. This change naturally attracted the attention of the other two people. As the head of the family, Bai Hongwen's every move would inevitably attract the attention of his wife and son.
However, the thoughts of Shi's mother and Bai Le'an are completely opposite. Shi's mother is more happy, which is a good sign. It shows that Bai Hongwen is trying to truly accept his son, instead of accepting his son entirely because of himself as before.
Bai Le'an felt even more resentful. His father's various abnormal behaviors proved that his cheap brother was about to make a comeback, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Li Jie's failure to abide by their previous agreement.
In his eyes, Li Jie's behavior was exactly the same as the strategy used by Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, when he attacked Chencang. He clearly built a plank road to attack Chencang secretly. On the surface, he promised to stay away from the Bai family, but secretly he used some means to get it.
Father's happiness.
While Bai Le'an was eating his meal angrily, he silently despised Li Jie's behavior.
'Hmph! A villain!'
Bai Hongwen's behavior after the meal further confirmed Bai Le'an's guess. After finishing the meal, Bai Hongwen said.
"Tiandong, come to my study."
ps: There should be two updates today. There is still one chapter left and I will update it tomorrow. Something delayed me today. I would like to apologize to all the book friends. I will try to update more if I have time in the future.
Finally, I beg all book lovers to support genuine subscriptions. The subscription ratio is really terrible. Big book owners would be better off turning on automatic subscriptions (thank you!)
Finally, thank you for your support! (This paragraph is not included in the charge, the starting point is based on a thousand words)
