Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

Page 85

"But he was Xiaolan's brother after all, couldn't he die a peaceful death?"

Xu Lei said, "The cases we have so far are enough to get him arrested. After exchanging suggestions with An Xin, we decided to leave it for now."

　003 "Not moving?"

Xu Lei said, "Because too many petty thugs have started to operate on their own. In this era, there are so many people who still believe in the underworld. Without a leader, there will be trouble. Someone needs to keep them in check, so Gao Qiqiang cannot be touched yet."

“I don’t really understand these things, but I feel like you’re doing a good deed.”

"Let's handle it gently, take it slow, and let time take its course. Black can't be eliminated because every color has to have black. All we need to do is gradually reduce the number of these people."

Yu Jingjing said, "You were lost in thought just now, were you thinking about someone?"

Xu Lei said, "Li Lijuan has a subordinate named Hai Ge, who is now Li Lijuan's driver. This Hai Ge really dislikes Li Chengyang."

"and then?"

"The reason he doesn't like it is that Li Chengyang doesn't allow the group to engage in nightclubs, massage parlors, and the like. Hai Ge feels stifled and uncomfortable, so he simply doesn't like it."

Forehead?

Is that even a valid reason?

Xu Lei said, "The older generation still believes in the underworld, and this is something they can't change. In their minds, the first thing to do when a problem arises is not to call the police, but to handle it themselves."

Yu Jingjing nodded and said, "When I was running a noodle shop in Green Vine, if something went wrong, my first thought was to grab a knife with my dad, rush out, and fight the person, instead of calling the police."

awesome.

"You've done this before?"

"Yes, some people had their eyes on me a while ago, so my dad and I started doing all sorts of things. Back then, there was no other way. You know, my face only brings disaster."

Xu Lei asked, "Would you be willing to stay by my side forever?"

Yu Jingjing looked at Xu Lei curiously and said, "Haven't we always been together?"

Xu Lei said, "A family needs a head of household, a woman, to handle these issues."

"Let me be the empress."

Xu Lei was speechless and said, "You should eat with Chengcheng less often. That woman can easily lead you astray."

"You still know that? Okay, I'll try my best to maintain it. Thank you for giving me such great trust and authority."

The car stopped near the airport, and Xu Lei got out, holding flowers.

Soon, a woman wearing sunglasses and high heels appeared in front of Xu Lei.

It's worth noting that the woman named Song Qian in "The Thunder" is a former model.

Although their screen time is limited, every appearance they make is overwhelmingly powerful.

Needless to say, Zhang Huimin only appeared in three scenes, but no matter when, she exuded femininity.

Song Qian is very good at using her status to achieve her goals.

The wealth she secretly controlled was, in essence, acquired through her own body; she used her beauty to gradually erode others' wealth.

Seeking a place to belong for oneself.

Perhaps, he is also a homeless person.

He just didn't know if Song Qian in front of Xu Lei was the same. If she wasn't clean, then Xu Lei wouldn't have any interest in her.

"Mr. Xu, you are indeed as handsome as in the video."

Xu Lei hugged Song Qian and said, "You surprised me too. You have a great figure. No wonder those CEOs and drug lords are all infatuated with you."

"You're joking, Mr. Song. That's not true at all. It's just that those people were willing to give me gifts. It has nothing to do with me."

Xu Lei asked, "Really?"

Song Qian said, "I don't need to get involved in such dangerous things. I'm just a figurehead in the logistics company. If Haoyu Group is willing to use me, then I'll naturally become a shareholder. If they're not, then so be it. I'm just a woman with a wide network of connections."

A middleman?

I never expected him to have this identity.

Xu Lei said, "Let's go, get in the car."

Sitting in the back seat and taking off her sunglasses, Song Qian asked, "Where are we going?"

"go to eat."

"with who?"

"Zhang Huimin."

Song Qian said with a dark face, "Xu Lei, you really are incredibly boring."

........................................

In the car, Yu Jingjing handed a tablet to Xu Lei.

Xu Lei looked at the documents and sighed deeply.

Looking at the tablet, Song Qian asked, "What is this thing of yours?"

"A tablet computer, a smaller version of a computer? What's wrong? Surprised?"

"I've never seen this before. Is it the next product in the company's product line?"

Xu Lei said, "I will work in the computer industry, but this is not the next one. I guess it will be something after the sixth or seventh generation of products."

"That's really enviable. Compared to you, I feel like I'm living in a village."

Xu Lei looked at the information and said, "A graduate from a prestigious university, um, and majoring in business administration, how did you become a middleman?"

"During university, my family ran into trouble, and I had to rely on my own abilities to make money while I was abroad. Fortunately, I still had the connections I had built up before, so I used them to act as a middleman and make some money."

"You've made quite a bit of money; you own a lot of shares. You're a major shareholder in Qinglong Logistics."

"Qinglong Logistics is mine. It's just that I partnered with others to open it. They needed a distribution channel, and I needed to make money. That's all. I don't ask them what they deliver, and they don't ask me about management."

"However, Qinglong Logistics doesn't have much time left to survive, alas."

Song Qian looked out the window with a touch of sadness, seemingly reluctant to give up what she had worked so hard to accumulate. It was truly disheartening.

Yu Jingjing handed Song Qian a thermos and said, "There's soup inside. I made it this morning. Drink some. You've been on a plane for so long, it's good for your health."

Song Qian opened the box, looked at the thermos inside, opened it, and immediately smelled the sweet aroma of broth.

Xu Lei said, "Drink it. Yu Jingjing brewed it this morning. If you don't, I'll get angry."

Song Qian silently took a sip and said, "Sister-in-law, you have excellent cooking skills."

Xu Lei said, "Don't try to get close to me. I'm much younger than you. Don't make me sound like I'm old."

The car arrived at the restaurant, and Xu Lei led his men upstairs. Inside the room, Zhang Huimin sat quietly, looking at her phone, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon seeing Xu Lei, Zhang Huimin stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Xu."

　(bhbj) Xu Lei said, "Hello, Zhang Huimin, I'm lucky to be sitting at the same table as a beautiful girl."

Zhang Huimin said, "Mr. Xu is joking. The woman beside you is the real beauty."

Yu Jingjing simply smiled and didn't say anything more to the woman.

Xu Lei introduced, "This is Song Qian, the woman your fiancé is pursuing. To be honest, you have terrible taste in people; your fiancé is quite a jerk."

Song Qian looked at Zhang Huimin awkwardly and said, "Well, I think we shouldn't be enemies."

Zhang Huimin shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's eat first, and then we can talk."

Xu Lei didn't get involved.

The dinner party was arranged by Zhang Huimin.

"My engagement to He Ruilong was arranged by my family. I also tried to get to know him, but now that you've appeared, there's no need for our engagement to continue."

Song Qian said, "Huh? That's not the story I heard."

Zhang Huimin said, "What did you hear?"

"What I heard was He Ruilong saying, 'There was a silly girl who pursued me relentlessly. He couldn't resist her persistence, so he got engaged to you. Then, when she was with me, she said that I was the one she loved most and that she wanted to marry me.'"

Pfft, hahahahaha.

Xu Lei laughed wildly, "Goodness, this version has quite a lot of stories."

Zhang Huimin said, "We've only eaten together a few times, and things aren't even close to being settled yet, and you're already thinking about other things? I was right to disagree with you back then."

Zhang Huimin called home.

Song Qian was startled and looked at Xu Lei, who said it was nothing.

Soon, Zhang Huimin's family called He Ruilong.

Then He Ruilong and Zhang Huimin spoke on the phone, and subsequently, they directly chose to start a video call.

In the video, Song Qian greets He Ruilong.

He Ruilong keenly observed Xu Lei.

Xu Lei greeted him, saying, "Hello."

He Ruilong said, "Mr. Xu, what are you doing here?"

"I'm the one who found them. I'm just asking you, do you like them?"

Xu Lei smiled at He Ruilong, who looked at Xu Lei and said, "Mr. Xu, does this mean you've taken a liking to it?"

"Yes, I do have a thing for beautiful women, you should have heard that."

He Ruilong said, "Mr. Xu is too kind. Since you like it, I won't bother you any longer."

The video call ended.

Xu Lei said, "Let's eat. What are you staring at me for?"

Song Qian said, "It seems my intuition was right."

Zhang Huimin wiped her mouth and said, "Yes, he likes my abilities and your connections, right?"

Song Qian said, "You know me?"

“When I was doing the company’s accounting, I saw that some of the transactions went through your side, so I checked it out and saw your name. Then I investigated and found that you had taken photos with many people.”

Sure enough, TV dramas are all lies.

The actress playing Zhang Huimin in the TV series is a top student, a female academic achiever with numerous titles.

Then, the screenwriter describes this woman as an unintelligent woman.

To put it bluntly, she's a woman with low emotional intelligence, only high IQ.

However, in reality, everyone understands one thing: intelligence and emotional intelligence go hand in hand. Smart people know how to utilize their strengths.

If you don't even have this much ability, then you might as well not have this level of intelligence.

Zhang Huimin is just a character created by others; after all, no one can accept someone with high emotional and intellectual intelligence.

Highly intelligent people speak less simply because they feel it's meaningless and unnecessary.

However, it's important to note that this only means it's unnecessary; it doesn't mean that people wouldn't do it.

Xu Lei said, "That's it? That's boring. I thought you guys were going to fight."

Zhao Huimin said, "Mr. Xu is joking. How could someone so old resort to violence?"

Xu Lei said, "I'd like to poach you to be my CFO, is that okay?"

"That won't do. The company has treated me very well, Mr. Xu, so please don't say such things."

Xu Lei said, "Well, then I'll have to visit you from inside."

Zhang Huimin astutely identified the problem and said, "Could you elaborate?"

"I'm sorry, I can't trust you right now and I can't tell you too much. I trust Song Qian more than you."

Zhang Huimin said, "The accounts of Haoyu Group are not very clean. There are some things that I can only try my best to make up for. There are many things that I cannot participate in. I am the person in charge, but I cannot control the people under me."

Xu Lei said, "Didn't you say that I've been good to you?"

"The only reason I'm rejecting you is because I think you want me."

Xu Lei chuckled and said, "You actually guessed right."
