Chapter 1025 If Apologies Are Useful, What Is the Point of Truth?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Li had a rare chance to have a few days of peace and leisure. He spent half a day at the Li family's house with Yao Luoying and the rest of the Li family.

These days, there is an endless stream of relatives coming to the Li family.

It should be said that since the Li family got rich, every New Year and other festivals, the relatives of the Li family would come to the Li family every year, for fear that the Li family would forget them.

In particular, the Zhixing Foundation provides the Li family and Wang Xiulan's Wang family with basic living expenses, as well as school fees, medical expenses, etc., which makes the relatives of the Li and Wang families desperately try to build relationships with the Li family.

The Zhixing Foundation has also begun reviewing the welfare benefits paid out each year to the relatives of the Li and Wang families, and those who do not meet the requirements will be kicked out.

Li Dongling doesn't want to raise some ungrateful people. Those who are dissatisfied with the low benefits provided by the Zhixing Foundation can just leave and make a living on their own.

The most that the Zhixing Foundation can do is to ensure that the relatives of the Li and Wang families within the fifth degree of mourning will not starve to death and will not have to worry about the cost of schooling or illness.

As for wanting to live a luxurious life, living in a villa, driving a sports car, and having nannies and maids serve you, and wanting the Zhixing Foundation to pay for all these, then you are just wishful thinking!
Li Dongling doesn't need to meet some relatives. It is enough for Li Dongshan and Wang Xiulan to entertain them.

But people like the two cousins ​​and two uncles helped the Li family a lot in the past when the Li family was not yet well-off, purely because of blood and family ties.

Now that the Li family has risen, it is impossible for them to ignore the relatives from his uncle and aunt's side. Li Dongling has to meet them in person.

Li Hongwei, who accompanied her parents to the Li family's house and was talking to Li Zhenlin and his wife in the living room, saw Li Dongling coming downstairs and immediately called out, "Cousin!"

Li Dongling first greeted Li Hongwei's parents, and then nodded to Li Hongwei.

After sitting down, Li Dongling asked Li Hongwei, "How do you feel about working at Dongling Hi-Tech?"

Li Hongwei is a relative of the current Li family and one of the few who has entered the headquarters office of Dongling Hi-Tech. Other relatives also have entered Dongling Hi-Tech-related companies.

But most of those people were assigned to work as security guards, warehouse managers, cleaners, etc. in Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park or Feiyan Technology, Oriental Express, Oriental Times Shopping Mall, etc., and it is impossible for them to enter the management level of Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters in the future.

Li Hongwei graduated from Pingyang University. She joined Dongling Hi-Tech because of her relationship with the Li family. She definitely has the abilities, but now Li Hongwei is basically just an ordinary office clerk.

"I have learned a lot. Working in the company is completely different from working in school!" Li Hongwei said to Li Dongling.

Seeing Li Hongwei's hesitant expression, Li Dongling's expression changed for a moment, and he asked with a smile, "Why, is there someone bullying you in Dongling Hi-Tech?"

"No no!"

Mr. Li said this in a joking tone, but Li Hongwei did not dare to be careless at all. She knew that this kind of thing was not said casually. She worked at the headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech, but she was aware of Li Dongling's influence in Dongling Hi-Tech.

If Mr. Li really got angry because of her words, who knows how many people would be implicated in the end.

"It's me, I want to be transferred to another place to gain some experience!
Our department said that there is an opportunity to be transferred to another place for training, and the supervisor asked me what I think! "Li Hongwei said to Li Dongling.

Now the scale of Dongling Hi-Tech is still expanding, constantly expanding its market size, and establishing branches and offices in various places.

These newly built branches and offices also need manpower, and there are two ways to fill these vacancies.

One way is to have personnel dispatched by the headquarters, who can basically enter the management level after they arrive there; the other way is to recruit from outside.

Now Li Hongwei also wants to go out of town to gain experience. As long as she can get the hang of it, she can basically enter the management level!
After entering Dongling Hi-Tech, Li Hongwei also realized that the relationships among the Li family members were not of much help to her now.

If she wants to become a senior executive of Dongling Hi-Tech, she must make contributions and achieve convincing results. At least when she reaches the level of middle-level supervisor or manager or above, the Li family label on Li Hongwei will be helpful to her!
Li Dongling glanced at Li Hongwei, then looked at Li Hongwei's parents who were looking at him from time to time, and said to Li Hongwei, "What does my cousin mean?"

"My dad supports me!" said Li Hongwei.

Hearing this, Li Dongling nodded, "Since you have made the decision, I support you. If you encounter any problems while you are away, you can call me directly if you need help!"

Hearing that Li Dongling agreed, Li Hongwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After Li Dongshan left, no member of the Li family has served as a senior executive of Dongling Hi-Tech. This led to rumors from the outside world that Li Dongling was preventing his in-laws from becoming powerful within Dongling Hi-Tech and did not want any members of the Li family to join Dongling Hi-Tech.

Li Hongwei was a little nervous when she mentioned the overseas assignment to Li Dongling today, but now she feels that those rumors were all groundless.

Li Dongling doesn't mind whether the executives of Dongling Hi-Tech are professional managers or members of the Li family. The key is ability.

If a fool could take a senior executive position in Dongling Hi-Tech simply because he was a member of the Li family, then the entire Dongling Hi-Tech would be in chaos in no time!
As they were talking, Li Dongling heard a noise and crying outside the courtyard. Then Gong Qing, who was in charge of the security of the Li family's old house, walked in and whispered something in Li Dongling's ear.

Li Hongwei was standing nearby and vaguely heard the words Zhang Guifen and Li Weikan, which made her face turn pale.

Li Hongwei recalled the words Zhang Guifen scolded her at the wedding of Li Dongshan and Miao Jiahui, and her body could not help but tremble slightly. Li Hongwei could still remember clearly the scene of Zhang Guifen making a scene at Li Dongshan's wedding.

That day, Zhang Guifen was dissatisfied with the low amount of money given to her family by the Zhixing Foundation, and she threw a tantrum at Li Dongshan's wedding. The family was directly kicked off the list of benefits of the Zhixing Foundation by the great philanthropist Li. In the end, Zhang Guifen and her husband were detained by the Pingyang Police Station for ten days and half a month. This was only because Li Zhenlin and Wang Xiulan were soft-hearted, otherwise they would definitely have to eat steamed bread for several months!
Also because of Zhang Guifen's family incident, the philanthropist Li established a rule that the members of the Li and Wang families who received benefits from the Zhixing Foundation would be reviewed once a year. If any ungrateful person was found, he would be kicked out directly.

Some people want to pick up the bowl to eat, and put the bowl down to curse their mothers. Mr. Li, the kind-hearted man, will not allow such a thing to happen in the Li family!
But now they heard that Zhang Guifen and her family had come to their door again. Li Dongling frowned and Li Hongwei looked a little worried. They didn't know why this family had come to their door again like a dog-skin plaster.

"Let this family leave. There is no relationship between our two families anymore. If they don't leave, please ask them to leave and hand them over to the police station!"

Li Dongling said to Gong Qing expressionlessly that he had no intention of having anything to do with Zhang Guifen's family who had given Li Dongshan's family an eye-opener at Li Dongshan's wedding.

The Pingyang Police Station also set up a branch in the town where the Li family’s old house is located. It is less than a hundred meters away from the Li family and can arrive at the scene within one minute.

In addition to the police station, there are also other urban management, fire and other types of stations. There is even a new armed police station training base near the town, which can send personnel over in as fast as three minutes.

Dongling Hi-Tech donates various police equipment and supplies to the Hanxi Police Station every year. Dongling Hi-Tech also has a number of subsidiaries that donate banners every year.

The public security around the Li family’s old house is quite good. No one picks up things on the road and no one locks their doors at night. There are not even petty thieves in this area!

When Gong Qing heard this, he immediately understood what Li Dongling meant, "I understand!"

Outside the Li family residence, Zhang Guifen, holding several boxes of gifts in her hands, angrily cursed at the security personnel blocking her way.

"I'm visiting relatives, why can't you let us in?"

"You are just a few guard dogs, how dare you stop us? Once I get in, I will make you all get out!"

"We are all relatives of the Li family. Why can they let us in but we can't?"

"Some people have become rich, so they look down on us poor relatives, right?"

Zhang Guifen's son Li Weikan looked at the people around him, especially the police officers standing not far away, who kept talking on the walkie-talkie, obviously waiting for something.

These police officers were unsure of the Li family's attitude, so they didn't want to act rashly.

Li Weikang pulled Zhang Guifen and said, "Mom, stop scolding me. Didn't the security department send someone to investigate?"

Compared with Zhang Guifen who attended Li Dongshan’s wedding before, she was obviously much darker, and her skin became rough due to wind and sun exposure. She looked more than ten years older.

Before, Zhang Guifen looked down on the welfare benefits provided to them by the Li family through the Zhixing Foundation, thinking that the money was too little.

But when those welfare benefits were cancelled, Zhang Guifen and her family returned to their original lives.

Without the easy jobs that the Zhixing Foundation had arranged for them, and without the basic living expenses paid out every month, they had to earn money to buy their own food, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and pay for their own medical treatment when they were sick. The family's living standards began to decline sharply.

Now Zhang Guifen can only make a living from the crops, but the TV shopping team of Focus Media does not purchase anything grown in Zhang Guifen’s fields.

"Why don't you give us living expenses? Why did you fire us? And why don't you have a place in the new housing subsidy issued by the Zhixing Foundation? We are also relatives of the Li family!"

Zhang Guifen shouted at Li Weikan with a ferocious look, which scared Li Weikan.

The door was opened, Gong Qing walked out and shouted to Zhang Guifen, "Please leave. The Li family doesn't have relatives like you!"

"What did you say?"

Zhang Guifen felt like she was struck by lightning. She originally thought that if she brought gifts and apologized today, the past would be forgotten and her family would be able to receive the benefits and treatment from the Zhixing Foundation again.

After all, she has already apologized, what else can you do to her?
But now, the Li family didn't buy her tricks at all, and she couldn't even see them. This made Zhang Guifen completely crazy, and she was about to rush in, "I don't believe it, you must be lying to me, I'm also a member of the Li family..."

Seeing Zhang Guifen starting to throw a tantrum again, Gong Qing waved his hand, and immediately several security guards who had been waiting on the side held Zhang Guifen down. Another security guard directly grabbed her, causing Zhang Guifen to scream in pain and no longer care about throwing a tantrum.

Zhang Guifen, Li Weikan's family and theirs were all held down and handed over to the police officers waiting on the side. They were stuffed directly into the police car, which then drove away. From now on, Zhang Guifen and her family probably won't have the chance to make trouble here again.

Hearing the silence outside, Li Dongling whispered to Li Hongwei, "These people will never come again!"

Do some people really think that if they apologize, others must accept it?

If apologies are useful, then what is the point of truth?
