The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

5:30 in the evening.

The sky of Landao City is as beautiful as a painting.

The sunset reflected the red sky, and the sunset occupied everyone's sight.

The young couple strolled on the beach, and the sound of the waves blew their hearts.

The evening breeze brushed the hair.

I don't know who is saying those high-sounding and hypocritical words in the name of love.

I don't know who is praying to the sea with his hands together, missing his sweetheart.

Guanhai Pavilion is a high-end restaurant located on the seaside.

The per capita consumption here starts at 1,000 yuan. No matter where you are, you can see the sea view. It is a famous high-consumption dining place in Landao City.

Li Dongsheng stood at the door of the restaurant, waiting for Ning Changping, Yao Tiancheng and others with a little restraint.

He knew that he and the other party were not at the same level at all.

Even though HSBC Shopping had attracted some investment before, Li Dongsheng had never spent the money on himself.

He spent every penny on the right things.

So now, although HSBC Shopping is worth more than hundreds of millions, Li Dongsheng, the largest shareholder, still eats at places like pork ribs rice and braised chicken.

To be honest.

Today's dinner made him feel distressed.

Although Ning Changping didn't mean to let him pay the bill, could he really not show some hospitality?

He needed help from others, but he was short of money.

Li Dongsheng would rather use the money from tonight's meal to buy a necklace for his wife and pay for an extracurricular dance class for his child.

Looking at the young couples holding hands and walking on the beach in the distance.

Li Dongsheng was in a trance for a moment.

I still remember that when I was young, he and his wife were the same.

My wife is gentle and virtuous, and I am ambitious.

Time has never let anyone go.

Li Dongsheng really doesn't understand why he lives like this?

Between dreams and family, which is more important?

The meeting with Lin Ming in the afternoon came to Li Dongsheng's mind again.

The coffee shop was the place chosen by Lin Ming.

No need to accompany drinking, no need to smile.

At least Li Dongsheng didn't feel so bad about the money for a cup of coffee.

Even if Lin Ming didn't let him pay the bill in the end.

"Ah..."

Countless thoughts came to his mind, and Li Dongsheng sighed deeply.

He really wanted to know, were those top business tycoons in the same situation as himself before they succeeded?

He wanted to know more, after experiencing this situation, would his dream come true?

If someone could tell him this now, Li Dongsheng would be very grateful!

What he didn't know was that this person had actually appeared.

Half an hour passed.

Li Dongsheng didn't see the figures of Ning Changping, Yao Tiancheng and others.

Every minute and every second was a torment for him.

He waited for more than ten minutes.

Li Dongsheng received several calls, all from the partners of HSBC Shopping.

They were also anxious!

Every time the phone rang, Li Dongsheng's heartbeat would speed up.

But when he saw that the note was not the name he expected, he felt disappointed again.

Li Dongsheng wanted to call Ning Changping and others to ask about the situation countless times, but he finally suppressed this impulse.

Now he really doesn't want to offend anyone who can give him hope!

It took half an hour until about 6:30.

Two brand-new Toyota Alphards slowly drove to the door of the hotel.

Ning Changping and Yao Tiancheng got out of the car and saw Li Dongsheng standing there at a glance.

"Oh, Mr. Li, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Ning Changping came over immediately: "I should have come a long time ago, but something happened halfway. I will punish myself with a glass of wine later to apologize!"

"It's okay, I just came here not long ago. Mr. Ning is worrying too much." Li Dongsheng hurried over to shake hands.

Obviously, Ning Changping didn't mean to explain too much.

If he really felt sorry, he wouldn't have missed the agreed time without calling Li Dongsheng.

"Mr. Li."

Yao Tiancheng also came over.

"Mr. Yao."

Li Dongsheng smiled and nodded, and at the same time glanced behind the two people inadvertently.

They all brought secretaries and bodyguards.

Compared with himself, who was alone, their pomp was much more complete.

Several people walked into the restaurant chatting, and Li Dongsheng took them directly to the private room he had booked.

Ning Changping and Yao Tiancheng didn't say anything too polite.

Whoever booked the private room should pay the bill, which is an invisible rule.

They don't care about this little money, but they care about their face.

"I don't know what you two like to eat, I'll go firstI ordered a few appetizers. I'll ask the waiter to bring the menu for you to see later." Li Dongsheng said.

"Mr. Li, don't be so polite. I heard that the Jianghai set meal here is good. Let's eat that." Ning Changping said with a smile.

Li Dongsheng's heart tightened immediately!

The Jianghai set meal includes a variety of high-end ingredients such as pufferfish, wild turtle, king crab, Australian lobster, etc., and is charged according to the number of people, 5888 yuan per person.

Ning Changping and Yao Tiancheng both brought their secretaries, including themselves, that is 5 people.

A meal costs nearly 30,000 yuan!

Although the starting price of any dish in Guanhai Pavilion is not low.

But the Jianghai set meal that Ning Changping mentioned still made Li Dongsheng feel very painful.

After this meal, he will probably have to use a credit card if he has to spend money again.

He is a boss, no matter how big or small.

Who would have thought that Li Dongsheng, who has hundreds of people under him, would be so shabby.

Of course.

Li Dongsheng did not show it on the surface, and directly asked the waiter to prepare the Jianghai set meal.

The dishes have not been served yet, and no one has talked about business.

Li Dongsheng chatted with Ning Changping and Yao Tiancheng.

But the two secretaries they brought with them kept asking Li Dongsheng about HSBC shopping.

The completely different sense of level difference was vividly reflected in front of Li Dongsheng at this moment.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Jianghai set meal includes wine and drinks, so Li Dongsheng doesn't have to spend more money.

It's not that he is stingy, but a good cook can't cook without rice!

It should be said.

The money is well spent, and the service and taste you can enjoy are also very good.

Li Dongsheng has lived to such an old age, but he is still the first At one time, eating so many delicacies at one time.

On the other hand, Ning Changping and Yao Tiancheng seemed to be quite calm, as if they were eating a home-cooked meal.

Perhaps in their minds, ordering this Jianghai set meal has saved money for Li Dongsheng.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Dongsheng felt a little drunk and his face flushed.

He was not a very good drinker and did not like this kind of socializing.

But there was no other way.

If you want to attract investment, you must greet with a smile.

"Mr. Li."

Ning Changping finally got to the point: "Mr. Yao called me this afternoon and said that Lin Ming met with you this afternoon?"
