People eat more fragrantly, not to mention the double combination of delicious and beautiful women, this is the most hilarious time Li Dong has eaten in recent times, of course, he may not eat a lot, but his emotions are in place.

It's a bit like drinking, people who really drink well have nothing to do with how much they drink, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the wine, what matters is the mood.

Li Dong really didn't eat much, compared to the last hot pot in the holy city, today is not even appetizing enough, but it is happy and relaxed.

The door of the lounge was pushed open, and a saleswoman walked in from the outside, the other party was one of the three salesmen on duty at noon today, and after entering the house, he came to Liu Qi's side, whispering something in the other party's ear, Liu Qi's face changed, he glanced at the boss, and then wiped his hands with a tissue, and left the house with the saleswoman.

Although Li Dong was eating and chatting, the changes in Manager Liu did not escape his eyes, so he casually asked the female employee next to him, "What are you Manager Liu doing?" ”

"I don't know, but with Manager Liu here, there is nothing she can't solve. The female employee said with a smile.

"Could it be that someone is not satisfied with the product?" asked Li Dong again.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be? I've been here for a year, and I haven't seen any bad reviews for our products, all of them are positive. ”

The other female employees also heard Li Dong's words, and one of them thought for a while and said, "Today is the 15th, right?"

"Fifteenth, so soon it's fifteenth again?"

"No wonder. ”

"Looks like it's here again. ”

The people around were stunned, and the originally joyful atmosphere immediately became dull, everyone bowed their heads and ate quietly, and no one spoke anymore.

Li Dong looked at everyone in the room curiously, originally just asking casually, but now it aroused his curiosity, it seems that there is something here.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Li Dong after looking around.

The crowd looked at each other, but still none of them spoke.

"Do you need me to ask again?" Li Dong's voice raised a few points, and the expression on his face became serious, so many people, no one dared to say it, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

When everyone saw that the boss was angry, they didn't even dare to eat, so they put down the tableware in their hands and sat carefully.

"Actually, it's nothing. A foreman whispered, "I'm here to collect money." ”

"What kind of money do you collect?" Li Dong asked, electricity and water bills can now be paid online, is it so backward that someone needs to come to collect it? Isn't it a developed country?

"Ahem, that is, it's the management fee. The foreman secretly glanced at the boss, and began to look away, not daring to look at the boss.

"What management fee?" Li Dong frowned, the company rented the storefront, and paid rent every year, and it didn't set up a stall on the road outside, what management fee did it pay? Is it a garbage management fee?

"Yes...... Security management fee. ”

"Security management fee?" Li Dong's face was full of doubts, how could he never have heard of such a fee? At least he had never heard of it in China.

Could it be that he came abroad and was lonely and unheard?

It's not easy to do business abroad, and there are so many messy costs, will the stores in those countries where I went before also have such charges?

"Boss, it's actually protection money. Someone couldn't help but whisper.

Protection money?

Li Dong was stunned, looked at the woman who spoke just now and asked, "Who took it, the police department, the city management, or the neighborhood?"

"Gang!"

Li Dong didn't say a word, stood up directly, opened the door and walked out.

Coming to his shop to collect protection money, isn't this tantamount to changing direction and robbing him of the money in his pocket?

How can you pay this money?

Li Dong went down the stairs, and at a glance, he saw Liu Qi standing with two men in leather jackets, saluting the two of them while saying something, and one of the men with a flat head was holding a stack of banknotes in his hand, although he didn't know how much, but the thick stack must be a lot.

The flat-headed man was about to put the money in his pocket, and one hand grabbed his wrist tightly, stopping him from making the next move.

The two men immediately looked at Li Dong, their eyes full of dissatisfaction and doubt.

"Boss......" Liu Qi trembled in fright, as if he had done something wrong, and quickly lowered his head.

"Who paid for the protection money?" asked you?" Li Dong asked as he looked at Liu Qi.

"No, no, it's the company. Liu Qi said hurriedly.

"Who allowed you to use the company's money to pay the protection fee?" Li Dong was very angry, the company belonged to him alone, to put it bluntly, the company's money was his money.

He is not a stingy person, it doesn't matter how much money he takes to give benefits to employees, invite employees to dinner, but let him take money to pay protection money, there is no door.

"I ......" Liu Qi bit her lip tightly, her face turned pale.

"Does Chen Ping know about this?" asked Li Dong.

"Mr. Chen knows ......"

"What?"

Li Dongleng for a moment, Chen Ping knows?

If Chen Ping knew about this and Liu Qi still did it, it would mean that Chen Ping acquiesced or agreed to Liu Qi's behavior, and Liu Qi himself was innocent.

Could it be that this is the legendary 'do as the locals do'?

"Boy, let go!" the flat-headed man scolded at Li Dong, he shook it a few times, but he didn't shake it off, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, because in terms of body size, he was obviously stronger than this Oriental.

Li Dong turned his head and held the other party's wrist fiercely, the flat-headed man was still trying to compare his strength with Li Dong at first, but as Li Dong used more and more strength, the flat-headed man's face turned red, and then turned white.

"Click!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, and the flat-headed man finally couldn't help it and screamed in pain.

"Ahh

The finger holding the money opened, and a wad of money fell down, which was caught by Li Dong's other hand.

The man in the jacket next to him saw that the situation was wrong, and he swung his fist and hit Li Dong, Li Dong didn't even look at it, and directly kicked the person out of the door.

Li Dong took the money and looked at the two, "Go back and tell your boss to send back the money you took from here before evening, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

"You, you wait!" The flat-headed man covered his wrist and retreated, his wrist had been shattered by the bone held by Li Dong, but he didn't forget to shout cruel words in his mouth, "Don't want to continue to open your store here!"

"What's the matter, if the money is not sent back, your gang will be destroyed. Li Dong said coldly, he was definitely not joking, because he had already destroyed many gangs.

The flat-headed man was stunned for a moment, probably having never encountered such a horizontal one, turned around and hurriedly ran.
