Chapter 18
Dong Li had been unemployed for a while, drinking tea at home, watering the flowers, and even participated in a sports meeting held by Rong Haw's school.
The sky outside is about to turn upside down. Li Cheng said that the fans scolded Dong Li and Gu Anfeng for working together in a dark box, and they were very happy to be kicked out. Gu Anfeng's fans scolded the other party for being narrow-minded and bullying. Hong's stock price fluctuated several times, and just saw a slight rebound.
Several headhunting companies called Dong Li, and people blocked him when he went out to throw garbage.
Gu Anfeng only contacted Dong Li on the first day when the incident came to light. He asked anxiously, "Dong Da, is it because of me that you fell out with the company?"
Dong Li held his mobile phone in one hand and cut flower branches with the other to put in a bottle. He said lazily, "It has nothing to do with you. Zhen Xingye and I have disliked each other for a long time."
Gu Anfeng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Dong Li couldn't help laughing: "No, don't take it to heart."
Gu Anfeng's tone was still tense, and he said, "Then you must tell me if you have any questions, Dong Da."
Dong Li said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, Rong Xiyuan is coming to eat today, I have to go shopping, goodbye, An An."
From then on, I could only see news about Gu Anfeng in the media.
It seems that Dong Li's defeat did not affect Gu Anfeng's stardom much. Gu Anfeng's recent variety show announcements have not decreased but increased. Many brands have released his promotion. According to some reports, Zhenghong is still talking about a high-end endorsement for him .
Rong Xiyuan bit his chopsticks and watched TV and said, "Zhen Xingye is not as stingy as he thought."
Dong Li slapped his hand to prevent Rong Haji from learning how to bite his chopsticks, and said, "You don't want to think about the price I paid."
Rong Xiyuan gave him a sideways look, dismissively: "Your price, hmph."
He squinted at Gu Anfeng who was playing idiot games on TV and said: "You let him increase his exposure so worthlessly? He will be useless in a few months."
Dong Li didn't care about it: "If it is abolished, it will be in Zhen Xingye's hands. It has nothing to do with me. Zhenghong always has a mouthful of food for him."
Rong Xiyuan was amazed: "It's easy to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change."
Rong Haw looked up from his rice bowl and blinked: "What do you mean?"
Dong Li reprimanded Rong Xiyuan: "Don't hum these romantic songs in front of Jiji."
On TV, Gu Anfeng was suddenly hit on the head by an inflatable hammer held by another guest. He tilted his head and rubbed it, showing a little confused, and there was a small scream.
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
Before the insults against Dong Li had passed, some people began to dig Dong Li's background.
Picking up Dong Li's body is not something fans can do.
He was not found out during those years abroad, mainly because of his teenage years, two blurry old photos, a dozen news reports, a few anonymous neighbors and classmates who eluded him, sketched a bloody life experience for Dong Li , a miserable life, and an unscrupulous character.
Rong Xiyuan politely expressed his astonishment: "You are not a performer on stage, and it costs so much money to discredit you, why is there someone who wants to wash you off?"
Dong Li said: "Don't look down on people, my reputation as a senior management talent is also very important."
Rong Xiyuan snorted: "Then you should also dig out your black history, what's the use of punishing your father. The son of a slave owner in the United States can be the president, and they still want capitalists to sit together? Too white lotus. Hey, I I still have a few of your black materials in my hand, the ones that got nosebleeds when they were playing police and catching thieves in the fourth grade of elementary school, how much do you think they can be sold for?"
Dong Li calmly sprinkled a handful of ground coriander into the freshly made beef noodles and told him to roll.
Director Rong Da, who regarded Coriander as his mortal enemy, left in despair.
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again. Dong Li thought that Rong Xiyuan had changed his mind and was going back to eat coriander. He saw in the surveillance camera that it was Gu Anfeng standing at the door.
As soon as Gu Anfeng came in, he held his hands nervously: "Dong Da, are you okay?"
Dong Li was taken aback for a moment, and then wanted to withdraw his hand—he had just finished cutting the vegetables and hadn't had time to wash his hands, but Gu Anfeng held it too tightly and refused to let it go.
He comforted Gu Anfeng first, and said, "I'm fine, just sit down and talk slowly."
In the end, Gu Anfeng ate the bowl of noodles that originally belonged to Rong Xiyuan. The steam was boiling. Opposite him was Dong Li in a white shirt, with his apron still on.
He always dresses rigorously in the company, but at this moment, a kind of tenderness and tenderness, as well as the decisive non-anger prestige, are contained by him calmly, making Gu Anfeng who came running out of breath feel like a bird Similarly, the spring scene is warm and there are branches to rely on.
He slowly told Gu Anfeng the story of his childhood: "When I was just born, many things in the country were changing. My dad found a way to dump foreign exchange in Guangzhou and launder the exchange rate difference. There was too much money to be made, and no one went there. Supervision, when I was sensible, I didn’t know how rich my family was. Maybe it’s to the extent that I can’t even earn it now. I had my own computer when I was in elementary school, and then I started to learn to write programs.
"Later, my dad was famous all over the country from opening a factory to running a group. In that era of explosion, it was impossible for a pioneer like him not to expand, so he began to borrow money, build buildings, and expand his business. In [-], the Asian financial turmoil did not seem to have affected mainland China much, but it did not.
"The economy calmed down, the goods could not be sold, the employees' wages could not be paid, and the debts increased. Later, the bank was no longer willing to lend him money.
"After bankruptcy, my dad didn't want to start from scratch. He was a college student who went to sea, and he couldn't bear to start a small business. People all over the country knew him. He started to try his luck at the poker table with a little money. At first, it was dozens of dollars. One yuan, when my mother and I found out later, the family owed millions of yuan. The million yuan in the 90s, my dad was usually a personable person, greedy like crazy, at that time I thought my Life is over. Now those marketing accounts say that under such a gap, I have developed a cruel and unscrupulous character, which cannot be said to be groundless."
He stopped, took a sip of his tea, and hid something from his eyes.
"My mother sold the house, and Rong Xiyuan's sister sold a family-owned piano. His sister was my first piano teacher, and the friendship between master and apprentice is also a friendship between gentlemen, but even the whole family risked their lives during the ten-year catastrophe. I protected a piano, and the siblings sold it for me without blinking an eye. I borrowed the rest of the money from my father's former friends, and I am still heavily in debt, but the money owed to the dealer is terrible.
"I studied architecture in college because I couldn't afford a computer anymore. A teacher in the architecture department was favored by my father and promised to apply for tuition waiver for me. I didn't start studying until I applied for a full scholarship to Cornell as a graduate student. computer.
"When I was in my second year of research, I wrote a piece of software, and IBM offered a price of 100 million US dollars. At that time, I thought every day, if I sold it, I would be able to pay off the money owed by my dad, and leave the extra money for Haw and West Garden."
He began to show a bright smile, "At this time, someone came to me and said, if you want to sell it, sell it to me."
