Chapter 451: Bells and Dinner
Given the current situation of the Li family, many people want to be associated with the Li family. Even if it is not Li Dongling, there are countless people who want to marry Li Dongshan, and some of them have outstanding family backgrounds.

After all, any discerning person can see that the current domestic situation is focused on economic development, and no matter whether you are in business or politics, you cannot avoid this point.

If the Li family can help, it is obvious that we can get twice the result with half the effort. Yao Zhengru is the most direct example. Since Yao Zhengru took office, Pingyang's fiscal revenue has soared directly to the top 100 cities in the country, and its ranking has improved by several places almost every quarter.

Considering Pingyang's current performance, coupled with Yao Zhengru's age and his experience serving in Pingyang, Yao Zhengru's future career, even if it is just by-the-books, will rise rapidly, and everyone can see it.

With Yao Zhengru’s example, who wouldn’t want to take advantage of it?
This is just about career prospects. If you are a company cooperating with Dongling Hi-Tech, you will be overwhelmed with orders. Which company would not want to cooperate with Dongling Hi-Tech?

If Li Dongshan was not unwilling, even in the provincial capital of Hanxi and other places, there would be people willing to marry Li Dongshan.

The meal was quite delicious. The attitude of the Li family towards Miao Jiahui, whether it was Li Zhenlin, Wang Xiulan, Li Dongling, or Li Dongyue, all treated her as one of their own, which made Miao Jiahui feel relieved.

After all, the Li family is no longer the same as before. Miao Jiahui was afraid that she would not be able to pass the test of the Li family. Now she doesn't need to worry about these things.

Especially when Li Dongyue called her "sister-in-law" all the time, Miao Jiahui, who still had a traditional woman's personality, blushed, but she couldn't help feeling very happy in her heart.

"Xiaohui, I don't have anything prepared. Consider this our Li family's gift to you!"

After eating, Miao Jiahui began to help Wang Xiulan clean up. After Wang Xiulan went to the kitchen, she took out a jade bracelet wrapped in red silk and wanted to give it to Miao Jiahui.

"I can't accept this, it's too expensive!"

Miao Jiahui looked at the white jade bracelet and said hurriedly that although she didn't know much about jade bracelets, she could tell with her woman's intuition that this thing was probably not cheap.

Wang Xiulan showed an angry look, "This is something passed down from the old Li family. Are you unwilling to enter the old Li family?"

What kind of things were handed down from the Li family? Given the Li family's financial situation back then, things like silver dollars and Yuan Datou were not handed down. If there were anything handed down, they would have been pawned long ago. How could there be a jade bracelet?

This jade bracelet was also made by Li Dongling at the request of Wang Xiulan. He bought white jade and then asked a craftsman to carve it. Wang Xiulan threatened that every daughter-in-law who married into the Li family would have one and it would be passed down from generation to generation. However, Li Dongling felt that there were probably at least eight jade bracelets in the small box under Wang Xiulan's bed...

After hearing what Wang Xiulan said, Miao Jiahui did not refuse anymore. Seeing this, Wang Xiulan smiled and put the jade bracelet on Miao Jiahui's hand.

Miao Jiahui was helping Wang Xiulan pack, Li Dongyue was preparing things for going to Pingyang Zoo, and Li Zhenlin continued to sip his wine. Old Li was quite satisfied with his current life. Now that Li Dongshan's marriage was settled, the last burden in his heart was finally put down.

"that……"

After taking a sip of wine, Li Zhenlin remembered something and was no longer in the mood to continue sipping. He called out to Li Dongling.

Li Dongling looked at Li Zhenlin's expression. Knowing Li Zhenlin's temper, he knew that Li Zhenlin had encountered an embarrassing situation. He remembered that in his previous life, when the Li family was short of money, Li Zhenlin had the same expression when he went to other people to borrow money.

"Dad, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Li Dongling sat down, poured another glass for Li Zhenlin, and clinked glasses with him.

He knew Li Zhenlin's character very well. Like most fathers in the country, he would never trouble the younger generation with anything he could solve by himself. This was the style of the older generation, or rather, they were unwilling to show their cowardly side in front of the younger generation.

"It's about your cousin's family. You know the girl in his family, she graduated from college this year, and the school won't arrange a job for her. Your cousin wants us to help find a job for the girl..." Li Zhenlin didn't finish his words, but Li Dongling knew what he meant.

Since the Li family started, Li Zhenlin and Wang Xiulan have not responded to too many requests from relatives on both the Li and Wang families, nor have they frequently lent money to relatives on both sides.

They also understood that it is better to help the poor than to help the needy, and to help the poor than to help the lazy. If they keep lending money, they may become enemies if they stop lending money one day. Those relatives who had almost no contact with the Li family before now came to make friends with them. They also knew what those relatives wanted to do, so they didn't pay much attention to them.

However, some relatives are close friends of the Li family and have helped the Li family a lot in the past. This includes Li Zhenlin's two cousins ​​and Li Dongling's two uncles in the previous life. They also helped the Li family a lot. They also raised money for Li Dongling and Li Dongyue's tuition.

After the Li family became wealthy, they naturally helped these relatives. For example, the girl from his uncle's family that Li Zhenlin mentioned, the tuition for schooling was borne by the Li family, and the medical expenses of several other families were also borne by the Li family.

In addition, most of these relatives do not have a high level of education. Some were assigned to companies or units that cooperate with Dongling Hi-Tech, and were assigned to undemand positions such as logistics, security, and warehouse management, but they were not allowed to directly enter Dongling Hi-Tech and serve as management positions.

"No problem," Li Dongling laughed, "It's Hongwei, right? That girl has graduated from college!

So, you tell your uncle that whether Hongwei wants to stay in Hanxi to work or go to other provinces to make a living, if she wants to join Dongling Hi-Tech, I'm afraid she will need to start from the bottom, if she wants to go to other companies or places, I can ask someone to help her!"

If someone from the Li family or Wang Xiulan's Wang family wants to join Dongling Hi-Tech, Li Dongling has no objection. He recommends the best people regardless of their relationship with him. If there are really talented people in the two families, Li Dongling will not push them away.

Sometimes, a company's board of directors even needs some executives with the founder's original surname to sit in place in order to help the founder's next generation secure their position. Take a certain beverage brand as an example. Even the executives who are family members of the founder's company do not support the founder's next generation to take over. How can the founder's next generation of leaders secure their position?

But it is impossible to let them serve as executives right away because their surnames are Li or Wang. That would probably cause trouble, and there might even be internal strife in the future. How many companies have been hollowed out by family companies or killed by internal strife? Li Dongling doesn't want that to happen.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Li Zhenlin breathed a sigh of relief. As traditional men, people of Li Zhenlin's generation carried the entire family on their shoulders. They spent their entire lives protecting their children from wind and rain. Even when they were old, they still thought about taking care of themselves.

If they have any help, they will not easily ask the next generation for help. If they are rejected, it will be even more embarrassing for them.

Li Zhenlin knew that Li Dongling didn't often get his relatives into Dongling Hi-Tech, but Li's two cousins ​​had helped the Li family before, so he couldn't remain indifferent. So he spoke to Li Dongling, and Li Dongling agreed directly, which made Li Zhenlin feel relieved. He sipped his wine with peanuts with relish.

Li Dongling turned the wine glass in his hand, thought for a while, and then said, "Dad, starting next year, I plan to bring important members of the Li family and my uncle's family under the Zhixing Foundation.

Every month, we provide basic living expenses to the two members of the Zhixing Foundation, and also purchase medical insurance in Hong Kong. The cost of going to school or studying abroad will also be covered by the Zhixing Foundation!"

This is equivalent to providing members of the Li and Wang families with a living security. They can receive enough living expenses every month, and they have medical insurance so that they will not fall into poverty due to illness. Their schooling expenses will also be covered by the Zhixing Foundation.

To put it more bluntly, the members of the two families will definitely not starve to death relying on the living expenses provided by the Zhixing Foundation, nor will they have to worry about not having money to treat illness or not having money to go to school.

However, this can only ensure that they will not starve to death. If they want to live a better life, travel in luxury cars, live in villas, and eat delicious food, they still have to rely on themselves. The Zhixing Foundation cannot provide them with that level of living conditions.

Otherwise, if the welfare is too high, it may evolve into a group of vampires who will find ways to empty the Zhixing Foundation. You know, the huge Ming Empire was bankrupt by hundreds of thousands of royal family members.

The Qing Dynasty, which is much missed by foreigners, also supported hundreds of thousands of Eight Banners descendants. In theory, these Eight Banners descendants were the backbone of the Qing Dynasty, but in reality, they were busy visiting brothels, smoking opium, walking birds, and fighting crickets. They were extremely extravagant and decadent. When the Qing Dynasty finally collapsed, these people ran away faster than each other.

No matter how powerful the Zhixing Foundation is, can it be as powerful as these two big empires? They can't handle the human nature issues, so how can we expect the Zhixing Foundation to handle them?
Anyway, Li Dongling promoted the Zhixing Foundation to provide some basic living security for the Li and Wang family members. After all, they are related by blood. If he ignores them at all, he will inevitably be rumored to be cold and indifferent.

It would be great if Zhixing Foundation could help the Li family or the Wang family to train more talents and provide Dongling Hi-Tech with more capable personnel who can help Dongling Hi-Tech in the future. Sometimes it might work wonders.

But the Zhixing Foundation certainly cannot provide such a lavish life to all the Li or Wang members related to Li Dongling.

"As for which members of the Li and Wang families will enter the Zhixing Foundation, it's up to you and my mom to decide!"

Li Dongling said to Li Zhenlin that the old couple Li Zhenlin knew best which relatives on both sides were close to their family, what their personalities were like, which ones were easy to get close to, and which ones were greedy gluttons. Li Dongling didn't want to raise a bunch of enemies.
