"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang."
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 created by the Spanish guitarist Francisco Terrega. This ancient melody accompanied Nokia's It became popular all over the world and became the ringtone of countless people's mobile phones.
He took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. As expected, it was Shi Mu's call.
"Hey, Mom, what's wrong?"
"Son, are you at the station?"
"arrive."
"Oh, okay, you call the driver, Uncle Liu. He is waiting for you in the parking lot. Go home early. You asked me to tell you what you are good at. Instead of resting at home during the winter vacation, you run 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, Li Jie took 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, the matter was settled. Although Liu Mingde was just a driver and his position did not seem to be high, 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 emerge. The most obvious change is that financing has become more difficult. The sense of capital is always the most sensitive. A large amount of capital has gathered in the stock market and futures market. Recently, the U.S. stock index has 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 the 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 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. 'Asparagus'.
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. Packages are used to grab money quickly.
Without desire, one is 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. Liu Mingde was no match for a high-ranking player like Li Jie. He didn't notice Li Jie's "perfunctory" at all. 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 carefully up and down with a concerned look on her face.
"You've lost weight. You said you're only a freshman. Why are you so anxious and busy making money? If you really want to use money, tell me. There's no need to be so hard on yourself."
Li Jie smiled slightly, walked closer, hugged Shi Mu and whispered: "Mom, I'm already so old, 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, uncle supports you in doing this. Young people should try their best. When I was your age, I didn’t have the same awareness as you. 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 did before, and of course he didn't have any good impressions. All in all, if it weren't for the stone mother as a link between the two, 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 is the original owner’s favorite dish.
Bai Le'an's face changed slightly when he saw the dishes on the dinner table after coming downstairs. 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. Somewhat loss of appetite.
When Shi's mother found out, she thought the food was not to Bai Le'an's taste, and she felt a little apologetic in her heart. She would not have done this before, but after Li Jie went to college, he spent much less time at home than before, so Shi's mother weighed it up. After that, he decided to take a little care of his 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 the agreement between the two.
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.
Bai Le'an ate his meal angrily while silently despising Li Jie's behavior.
'snort! 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."
