Chapter 230: Living Smartly
? night.
Li Dong arrived at the small restaurant he had made an appointment with Wang Jie, and Wang Jie had already arrived ahead of schedule.
Compared with the daytime, Wang Jie cleaned up much more neatly, and put back on the glasses that he didn't wear during the day, making him more bookish.
Seeing Li Dong, Wang Jie smiled and said, "Sit down, what do you want to eat?"
"casual."
"I just hate you guys who talk casually, but the results are not casual."
Wang Jie made a joke, then turned to the busy lady boss and said, "Sister-in-law Ding, here's Kung Pao Chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised crucian carp..."
After talking about five or six dishes in a row, Li Dong quickly said: "That's enough, just the two of you, ordering too much is a waste."
Wang Jie said with a smile: "It's fine to order nothing else. I'll sell this duck with beer. You can taste it."
Li Dong also smiled and said, "When did you sell ducks?"
As soon as he heard Li Dong's tone, Wang Jie knew what he meant, and said angrily: "Get out, dirty thoughts!"
The two laughed, and the proprietress next to her also laughed when she saw this.
After joking a few words, Wang Jie said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you have changed a lot."
"Don't talk about me first, you have changed even more in terms of talking about it, so let's talk about it."
Wang Jie shrugged and said, "What are you talking about, you saw it too."
"I was expelled from the school, and now I go home to sell chickens and ducks. I count as a colleague of your father. From now on, I will call your father Lao Li, and you have to call me Uncle Wang."
Li Dong stared at him feigning anger and said, "You bastard, now you have the guts to take advantage of me!"
"Hey, what you said is easy to be misunderstood. I like women, but I don't like men. You have to be more careful next time when you speak." Wang Jie replied with a smile.
Seeing him making jokes and changing the subject, Li Dong knew that he didn't want to talk, so he didn't ask any further.
When the food came, the two opened a bottle of white wine and drank a glass with each other.
After a few glasses of wine, Wang Jie didn't change his face. Seeing this, Li Dong asked: "The drinking capacity is getting better and better, how did you practice?"
"Drink more and you'll get out of it.
"
Wang Jie laughed and said flatly: "During the time we broke up, I had a bottle of white water every day for a month, and I almost had stomach bleeding. Since then, I haven't drunk much. Otherwise, I usually don’t drink.”
Although the words are plain, Li Dong can imagine what kind of life Wang Jie lived during that time.
For a person who doesn't drink much, he drinks a bottle of white wine every day, and Wang Jie is lucky if he doesn't drink to death.
But now it seems that Wang Jie should have passed that stage, and Li Dong asked again: "Does the expulsion matter have anything to do with Chen Yue?"
Wang Jie nodded first, then shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with her. This matter is a hurdle in my heart. I found an opportunity to break that guy's leg. Chen Yue pleaded for me, otherwise Not only expulsion, but I'm afraid I have to enter the classroom."
Now Li Dong understood what had happened. He remembered that Wang Jie told him last time that Chen Yue seemed to be dating a rich second generation.
Unexpectedly, this guy Wang Jie had a dark heart and broke his leg directly.
But if this matter is placed on Li Dong, that guy may be even worse, not to mention the second master.
Li Dong said with a smile: "It's fine if you get fired, but to be honest, it's meaningless to stay in the capital. It's even more uncomfortable to see others love each other."
"You bastard is still so bad-mouthed. Speaking of which, my style of conduct was spoiled by you. Thinking back to how innocent I was at the beginning, I mainly tolerated things. If you hadn't been fighting and killing all day long, I wouldn't have learned that." Bad."
Li Dong rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, you kid is already rotten, and it's my fault."
Wang Jie smiled and did not refute, raised his glass and touched Li Dong, and then said: "But don't say it, I feel really relieved after doing this."
Li Dong said with a smile: "This is the anger of an honest person. You have been holding back all these years, and venting it is good for your physical and mental health."
"Heretician talk!" Wang Jie scolded with a smile, "But I like it!"
"Hahaha……"
They both laughed and toasted again.
After chatting for a while, Li Dong asked again: "I heard that you have a small website dedicated to selling poultry?"
Wang Jie took a few bites of peanuts, nodded and said, "That's the case. But the effect is so-so. There are not many people surfing the Internet in Dongping, and they are mainly young people. Middle-aged and old people still buy things in the vegetable market." People are the main thing, and I am thinking about whether to change the method recently."
"Did you develop the website yourself?"
"I couldn't do it alone. A few classmates helped me a little bit and made it in partnership. But it's not difficult to build a website. The most important thing is to promote it. If there is no promotion, no one will post it."
Wang Jie said helplessly and said: "Actually, I originally planned to open an online store on Taobao, specializing in selling Dongping local specialties. But my parents disagreed, saying that it was too empty. In the end, I did it in desperation. I set up a website to order poultry, and chatted with ***** Li Dong nodded without saying anything, but his heart kept churning.
Wang Jie has a really good vision. In 2005, he thought of opening an online store to sell souvenirs.
If he really did it, he wouldn't be able to guarantee great wealth, but after ten years, it shouldn't be difficult to be worth several million.
It's a pity that this guy is powerless, the key is that he has no capital, which is a pity.
Li Dong had some ideas in his mind. He had been planning to build an exclusive shopping platform for supermarkets before.
If I can pull Wang Jie over...
After thinking about it, Li Dong temporarily gave up this thought, not to mention whether Wang Jie would do it or not, Li Dong also felt a little awkward.
The relationship between him and Wang Jie is not bad, there is no need to have a superior-subordinate relationship.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Jie is not the kind of indispensable elite. Although Wang Jie, who has not finished his sophomore year, has some real skills in creating a website himself, there is no shortage of such people in the market now.
If you really want to look for it, you can find a lot of it casually.
Suppressing this thought, Li Dong drank a few more drinks with Wang Jie, and finally said: "If you really want to open an online store, I can lend you money if you need money."
Wang Jie's hand holding the vegetables stopped suddenly.
After glancing at Li Dong, Wang Jie said quietly after a while: "You are very loyal!"
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "I've always been so loyal."
"I'm not talking about that."
Wang Jie waved his hand and said, "I mean you don't forget your riches and honors. I'm a little flattered that a billionaire can think highly of me, eat with me at a roadside stall, and even take the initiative to borrow money."
Li Dong was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "You know?"
"Hey, I'm not stupid. Don't forget what I'm studying. I care about everything related to the Internet. When Baidu went public, you became a big hit. A college student, chairman of Yuanfang, from Qingyang, Jiangbei, and then I Then I took a look at the photos of you and Xu Yong, do you think I don’t know?”
Wang Jie curled his lips, and said again: "But I don't want to talk about it. I have a serious hatred for the rich now. If you tell me yourself, I'm afraid I can't help but beat you up."
Said Wang Jie himself laughed.
He actually didn't say some things, if Li Dong didn't come to the appointment today, or if Li Dong pretended to be noble, then he didn't have Li Dong as a friend.
But when Li Dong came, he had the same attitude as before, and even offered to help him, which made Wang Jie feel that Li Dong was still the same Li Dong as before.
He is now a poultry vendor, and Li Dong, a big boss, can drink with him and talk nonsense. Although he doesn't want to admit it, Li Dong really thinks highly of him.
Otherwise, Li Dong wouldn't be able to ask him, so why waste time chatting nonsense with a down-and-out guy.
Li Dong glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Your boy is really wimpy, now you are smarter."
"Nonsense, wasn't I smart before?"
Wang Jie laughed, and said again: "To be honest, I was stunned when I first heard the news. But now that I think about it, it's just like that. If you have money, it's because of your own ability, and it's not because you want to take advantage of me." Envy, jealousy and hatred are useless for those who only get rich, and the key people have to rely on themselves."
"So don't talk about borrowing money. Today you think I can drink with me. I will invite you when I get rich later."
Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said, "Really don't want to borrow it?"
"If you really don't want to borrow money, don't look down on me. Maybe one day, I will be richer than you, and I will lend you money at that time!" Wang Jie said with a smile, patting his chest.
Li Dong stretched out his thumb and said: "If you have ambition, then let's drink today and don't talk about anything else!"
"Yes, that's why you treat me as a brother! If I borrow your money, I feel like I'll be inferior to you, and I'm not happy."
"In this life, people live for pleasure!"
Li Dong really laughed now, and he didn't feel that Wang Jie wanted to save face and suffer. He just felt that this guy was living in style.
After that, Li Dong didn't talk about borrowing money, let alone recruiting him, and just drank and ate.
