"Okay, then I'll buy a house first!"
Without any worries, Xiao Fei made up his mind to buy a house. As for borrowing money from Du Chen and others, it wouldn't be the first time he owed a favor, so he might as well lend it to them.
"Brother Li, go back and arrange a place for tomorrow's meal. Remember, we'll eat together tomorrow!"
Du Chen gave Li Dewen and Xiami another reminder.
"Well, I'll make a phone call later!"
Li Dewen nodded to indicate that he remembered it.
………………………………
"Old Li, have you arranged dinner across the street tonight?"
On the way home, Li Dewen's wife remembered this incident and asked Li Dewen who was driving.
"Well, everything is arranged. Let's just eat at the restaurant and have a good time together. It's too troublesome at home, and who knows how long it will last!"
"Old Li, is Du Chen going tonight?"
Li Dewen's wife thought of Du Chen who had just been in the office and asked curiously.
"No, he doesn't like to join in the fun. Besides, the people having dinner across the street tonight are all my old friends and childhood friends. Du Chen doesn't know many of them, so he doesn't want to go either."
Li Dewen answered casually.
"Old Li, tell me about Du Chen!"
"say what?"
Li Dewen was driving the car attentively, and asked his new wife in confusion without even turning his head.
"How did you two meet? And I think everyone is quite afraid of Du Chen?"
Li Dewen's wife often heard Li Dewen talk about Du Chen's height and shortness, but she had never met him in person. After meeting him today, she was very curious. Everyone present in the afternoon was older than Du Chen, but it seemed that everyone was afraid of Du Chen.
"I'm a little scared, but I'm mostly grateful to Du Chen, so I don't want to make him angry!"
Li Dewen thought about it for a while before he could make everyone's thoughts clear.
"gratitude?"
Li Dewen's wife was very surprised.
"Well, thank you!"
Li Dewen nodded heavily.
"You know, I was just a low-class street thug. I bullied kids every day to get some money for cigarettes and pocket money..."
Li Dewen slowly told his wife how he and Du Chen met...
………………………………
"Second brother, come over and talk!"
On the other side, Du Bin, Du Chen and Ding Miaomiao had just entered the eyewear store. Comrade Lao Du, who was sitting at the counter drinking tea, immediately called Du Chen over to chat. Lao Ding was also sitting next to Comrade Lao Du.
"Dad, what are we having for dinner?"
Before Du Chen even touched the bench, he asked Comrade Lao Du.
"I didn't cook, how would I know? Go ask your mom. Also, we just had lunch, how could you be hungry already?"
Comrade Lao Du looked at Du Chen, who was confused, and said unhappily.
"Hey, Dad, you know how you can't eat enough at a banquet. It's like you didn't eat anything at all. What's more, I was running around with Li Dewen and Xiami at noon today, so I was busy chatting with people and didn't eat much."
Du Chen argued with Comrade Lao Du with confidence.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this!"
"What then?"
"Tell me about this afternoon. Why did you think of bringing your Uncle Ding and Liu Yuying in?"
Comrade Lao Du went straight to the point.
"Uncle Ding knows a lot of people, so if you need anything, you can ask him for help. Uncle Liu has been in the coal industry for so many years, so he knows all about management and the tricks. He also has a lot of connections, both legal and illegal. This will make it easier for Xiaofei to work in this industry."
"That's all? No other reason?"
Comrade Lao Du took a sip of tea. He didn't believe that his second son would be so kind as to do everything for Xiao Fei.
"Also, I don't want Xiaofei to have full control, lest he kick me out later."
Everyone in this room is his own people, so Du Chen didn't say anything nonsense and directly told Comrade Lao Du his thoughts.
"I take it this is your main purpose?"
Old Ding curled his lips. He didn't believe Du Chen's claim that he did it for this or that, but he did believe that he did it to take control of the coal washing plant.
"Uncle Ding, these are my main goals. First, I want to prevent myself from being kicked out. Second, I want to make money. So, if you join us, we can better ensure the smooth operation of the coal washing plant. Everyone makes money, isn't that better?"
Du Chen laughed and retorted to Lao Ding that he was narrow-minded.
"Second brother, I think you should be able to control more shares at the beginning, right?"
Comrade Lao Du asked his own questions. At the beginning, it was obvious that Du Chen wanted to control more shares, but in the end Du Chen gave in. The shares of several of them combined were not as many as those of Li Dewen and Xiaofei.
“Yeah, that was the idea at first!”
Du Chen nodded and acknowledged Comrade Lao Du's question.
"Then why did you suddenly change your mind? We're still short of 10% of the other party's shares."
Lao Ding also asked his own questions.
"Dad, Uncle Ding, why did Xiaofei propose to build a coal washing plant? Isn't it because he wants to make more money? At first, I wanted to take a larger share, but if you calculate it this way, how much of a share can Xiaofei get? After making money for a long time, will Xiaofei have any ideas? I worked hard for a long time to build a coal washing plant, made money, and gave most of the money to others. Do you think Xiaofei will have any objections?"
Du Chen stated a very simple fact.
"We understand that, but you have a small stake now. Can you guarantee he won't kick you out in the future?"
