Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

The banquet begins.

Li Dong is the protagonist today, and the topic must revolve around him.

Fortunately, Mr. Li set the rules before the banquet.

So Li Dong just responded politely and didn't mention work at all.

Especially the second uncle, although he was unwilling, he could only sit back and do nothing.

After all, there are so many relatives at the table, and Li Dong certainly can't help them all.

Even if you want to ask Li Dong to do something, you have to talk about it in private.

If Li Dong's approach doesn't work, just go find your eldest brother.

Anyway, the eldest brother is soft-hearted. As long as he speaks, can Song Ci, the eldest daughter-in-law, still refuse?

As a result, the second uncle simply changed his approach and stopped pestering Li Dong. Instead, he went to Li's father to play the emotional card.

While drinking, we talked about the past.

When it came to the emotional part, my second uncle was the first to have tears in his eyes.

Father Li was a nostalgic person, and he also choked up and said, "I don't know how Xiaohua is doing. I haven't heard from him in all these years."

"My family's conditions are getting better and better. If I can find Xiaohua, I will be able to live up to my parents' spirits in heaven."

The second uncle took out a tissue, wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Brother, Xiaohua is ambitious."

"I think he felt that things weren't going well these years, so he didn't contact us. Don't worry."

"I believe that we in the Li family are blessed people. Sooner or later, we brothers and sisters will be able to get together again!"

Father Li also sighed, "Yes, this girl has been stubborn since she was a child."

"We are all brothers. If she really encounters a problem, can we just sit back and do nothing?"

"No matter what, I will help her even if I have to sell everything I have!"

"No matter how good it is out there, it's still a foreign country. If you really encounter any difficulties, there's no one to help you or even talk to."

With Li Yao and Auntie taking care of the two children, Song Ci rarely got away, "Li Dong, Dad is talking about Auntie, right?"

Li Dong nodded, "Yes, it's my aunt, Li Zhihua."

"I still have some impression of him when I was a child, but I haven't seen him for so many years. I don't know if I can recognize him if we meet again."

The Li family seldom mentioned Aunt Li Dong, and Song Ci only knew that such a person existed.

According to Li Dong, his aunt had an unhappy marriage and in order to avoid gossip, she simply went abroad to work and they have lost contact since then.

Thinking of this, Song Ci sighed, "It can be seen that Dad is a sentimental person."

Li Dong nodded. "Yeah, not only my dad, I miss my aunt a lot too."

"I still remember my aunt spoiling me when I was a child."

"I was naughty and mischievous at that time, and I often climbed up the roof and broke into other houses. Every time my father wanted to punish me, my aunt would protect me."

"Once I had a high fever and my parents were not at home. It was my aunt who found me and took me to the hospital in the heavy rain."

"The doctor said it was fortunate that he was brought to the hospital in time, otherwise his brain would have been damaged."

Song Ci asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

"Now that I have said that, I really have to thank my aunt very much."

"If it weren't for my aunt, Nian Nian and I wouldn't have such a good support now!"

Li Dong smiled bitterly, "Yes, it has indeed not been easy for Auntie these years."

"I'm alone in a foreign country, with no news from anyone and no idea how I'm doing."

Song Ci said, "Li Dong, tell me about your aunt later."

"I have some connections abroad, maybe I can help you find out. It won't be like looking for a needle in a haystack for you."

Li Dong's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"That's great!"

"My father has always been worried about my aunt's news."

"My dad always felt that he was the eldest brother in the family and that he failed to take good care of my younger sister. He felt sorry for my grandparents who are still alive."

"If we can find my aunt's whereabouts, my father will also have an explanation."

Dinner doesn't take long.

During the dinner, my uncle and aunt came over separately to toast.

Especially my aunt, she was so excited, "Xiaodong, thank you."

"If you hadn't stepped in last time, I'm afraid my aunt would have been thrown in jail."

Li Dong comforted her: "Aunt, you are too polite."

"You were kept in the dark about this matter. Even if you didn't come to me, you still had to handle the case. This is what the police are supposed to do."

"I've been too busy these past two days and haven't had time to ask about it. How's the situation over there?"

My aunt explained: "It's not a big problem. After all, I didn't know about it and it has nothing to do with the tax evasion of that company."

"So the leaders of the economic investigation department said that they don't need to pursue joint liability."

"But it's still illegal for me to lend a bank card privately."

"I estimate that I may have to pay a fine, and I will have to cooperate with the relevant departments to implement the follow-up situation."

Li Dong nodded, "Okay, we will cooperate and implement what needs to be implemented."

"It's our fault, so let's deal with it."

"But aunt, this is just a lesson. Don't ever do this again."

"If you are greedy for small gains, you will suffer big losses. Just think of it as paying for a lesson!"

Seeing Li Dong chatting happily with his aunt's family, the second uncle felt a little jealous and raised a glass to himself and said, "Xiao Dong!"

Li Dong also raised his cup, "Second Uncle!"

The second uncle was arrogant and said in a slightly drunken tone: "Today, the second uncle offers you a glass of wine."

"After so many years, our Li family finally has a promising one. You, Li Dong, are the most outstanding one among all the nephews and nieces of our Li family!"

"With this glass of wine, my second uncle has a sincere hope for you. I hope you can set a good example for your younger brothers and sisters."

"You are the eldest brother in the family, and you are also the eldest brother in our entire Li family."

"These brothers and sisters now take you as a role model."

"You can't write two Li characters with one stroke. Blood is thicker than water."

"In the future, if there is anything happening at home or outside, you must take good care of these brothers and sisters!"

Li Dong nodded, "Second Uncle, this is what I should do."

The second uncle changed the subject and said, "And there is Xiao Song. Your second aunt was just talking to me about that."

"Xiao Song is dignified and generous, and is a good housekeeper."

"With this glass of wine today, Second Uncle wishes you two a long and happy marriage, and I also wish you a flourishing career and a bright future!"

My aunt looked at my uncle and curled her lips slightly.

This Li Laoer, I never contact you during normal times, and I'm nowhere to be seen during the holidays.

She said she was busy with work, but in fact she was just relying on her good conditions and was afraid of being implicated by Li Dong's family.

After all, Li Laoer only has one daughter and there is not much money to spend at home.

But it’s different for Li Dong. He is the eldest brother and he has a younger brother and a younger sister.

Li Laoer didn't dare to have too much contact with him, probably because he was afraid that Li Dong would ask him for compensation.

Now that he saw that Li Dong had become successful, he began to interact with him attentively.

What is there to say?

When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives!

Soon, the banquet came to an end and everyone left.

Mother Li sent her relatives and friends downstairs, while Second Uncle went to find Father Li.
