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

Page 39

Xu Lei said, "Go ahead and say it. Isn't that just how I am? Everyone knows I, Xu Lei, am a womanizer."

How could you do this?

Why is it that many bad things turn into good things when they happen to Xu Lei?

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

The next day, Jinghai deployed more police officers.

An Xin and her team dealt with the shady dealings of Bai Jiangbo's subordinates.

On this day, Uncle Tai was summoned away by Mayor Zhang.

It wasn't Zhao Lidong; throughout the entire process, Zhao Lidong didn't dare to speak and was constantly being reprimanded.

"You're making such a big fuss over a simple village project?"

"Are they all crazy? Ah, is it better to kill a dozen or so people?"

"Don't you know how the news reports it? Do you even know how many of those outsiders that Xiao Lei worked so hard to build up in Jinghai have left?"

Xu Lei was dozing off to the side.

Lost in thought.

No one dared to look at Mayor Zhang.

"Zhao Lidong, what did you promise me back then? You swore to me that Mang Village would definitely be developed well, didn't you? Now, give me an explanation for this situation."

Zhao Lidong did not dare to speak.

He glared fiercely at Cao Chuang to the side.

Meng Dehai, like Xu Lei, closed his eyes to rest.

Xu Lei said, "Hey, Mayor Zhang, don't get so angry. Have some tea, have some tea."

Mayor Zhang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then continued, "I'm only giving you one week for the Mang Village project. If I don't see construction start in Mang Village after one week, then we'll have to put it up for public bidding."

"If I had known, I would have given Mang Village to Xu Lei back then. It was Xu Lei who recommended the Construction Group to me, saying they could do good things, and this is the answer you give me?"

"I heard that the people from Green Vine are planning to come and develop this place. You old bastards, you can't even protect your own territory?"

Mayor Zhang knows everything, he just doesn't say it.

He knew all about Zhao Lidong's messy affairs, but when the officials were dealt with afterward, Mayor Zhang was not implicated at all, which shows that Mayor Zhang is indeed quite capable.

Or rather, this person is not interested in these things.

Mayor Zhang left, and Xu Lei then went to find Director Guo and talked to him about Shu Ting.

"Shuting and I are close. Shuting asked me to leave her some money for living expenses. We should investigate the illegal businesses, but please don't investigate the legitimate ones."

Director Guo said, "The casino will definitely be shut down. The sand quarry and some construction projects are no problem, but the clubhouse is another issue."

Xu Lei said, "How about this, the club should still be investigated. I'll pay for it and buy it. After all, they're an orphan and a widow; they should be able to make a living, shouldn't they?"

Director Guo was helpless.

Mayor Zhang said, "Let's do it this way. It'll just be auctioned off anyway, so it's fine to do it earlier. Xiao Lei is a well-known entrepreneur in Jinghai, so we can trust him to manage it. What, aren't you worried about trouble if you hand it over to someone else?"

Director Guo naturally understood.

Bai Jiangbo owns ten clubs and nightclubs.

Director Guo knew all too well whether it was clean or not; these were all ticking time bombs.

Leaving it there will never be good.

After Mayor Zhang left, Xu Lei followed Director Guo and got into Director Guo's car.

“I’ll call them from there. I think Zhao Lidong will put in a good word for you.”

Xu Lei asked, "Really?"

"Zhao Lidong wouldn't dare offend you. If he could, he'd give himself to you for free. Mayor Zhang only trusts you now and ignores everyone else. What do you think?"

Xu Lei said, "Then I guess I got a bargain. But my reputation is probably going to suffer again. Ten clubs to buy the happiness of an orphan and widow, I'm really being ripped off."

Director Guo said, "Stop talking nonsense. You've made the most money. Did you want to get rid of Bai Jiangbo from the beginning?"

"kindness."

"They actually admitted it?"

"They have ideas, but no action."

Director Guo said, "That's true. You were indeed acting legally and without any involvement. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to arrest you. By the way, what about Li Youtian?"

Xu Lei said, "Wasn't Li Youtian's achievement also due to Director Guo's efforts?"

"What credit? It was Li Youtian who called the police. If Li Youtian hadn't called the police, I might have taken action, but since he did, he's the victim."

Xu Lei sighed and said, "Director Guo, do you really think I wouldn't have predicted that Li Youtian would call the police?"

Director Guo was dumbfounded.

How the hell can you even calculate this?

Xu Lei continued, "It's alright, you'll understand when the time comes."

"Stop beating around the bush, just say it upfront."

Xu Lei said, "No, there will be no reward, I won't say."

Director Guo said, "I can put in a good word for you with Xiao Wu, but that's all I can do to help. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to Meng Yu."

"Meng Yu and I are completely innocent. Don't talk nonsense. I'm a respectable person."

"Is this not enough?"

Xu Lei sighed.

At this moment, Xiao Wu, who had bought the water, got into the car and sat in the back seat.

Xu Lei took a sip of water, yawned, and asked, "What do you think of Zhao Lidong?"

Director Guo said, "You can call me and make sure you have enough time."

Xu Lei said, "Let's wait and see. This guy has been going to the industrial park a bit too often lately. If he doesn't know how to restrain himself today, then I can only apologize."

After saying that, he turned around and pinched Xiao Wu's cheek in the back seat.

"Xiao Wu is still the best. She's simple, straightforward, doesn't think about anything, and doesn't ponder anything."

After saying that, Xu Lei got out of the car and left.

They hadn't gone far when Xiao Wu rolled down the car window and said, "From now on..."

Xu Lei didn't go far, waiting quietly.

"No."

"Pinch my cheek."

Pfft, hahaha.

Xu Lei pointed at Xiao Wu and said, "Hahaha, Director Guo, I think Xiao Wu is a genius, hahaha."

Director Guo silently watched Xu Lei's departing figure.

"Xiao Wu, what do you think of Xu Lei?"

"Great, boss, but it's a bit scary that I can't quite see clearly."

Director Guo said, "You've reached the age where you should be dating."

Xiao Wu said, "Xu Lei asked me to tell you that Li Hongwei is involved with drugs."

Director Guo was taken aback for a moment, then said, "How did you know?"

"The video that Xu Lei sent me."

Why didn't you say so sooner?

"It was just sent to me."

Director Guo was so angry he wanted to kill someone. Your slow, deliberate personality is really infuriating.

After Bai Jiangbo collapsed, some people started having wicked ideas the very next day.

Chen Shuting is just too tempting; who (Nuo Zhao) is eyeing her?

However, the next day, news circulated in Jinghai that Xu Lei had said this when he was drunk during a secret interview with a reporter.

Xu Lei bought Bai Jiangbo's ten clubs and gave them to Chen Shuting to manage. He also stated that all future projects under Tencent would be in cooperation with Chen Shuting.

Instantly, countless people were in an uproar, as everyone suddenly remembered.

It seems that Xu Lei has done this more than once or twice.

Does this guy have some kind of fetish, liking older sister or young married woman types?

Of course, some people are happy, while others are sad.

The very next night, Chengcheng stormed into Chen Shuting's house, kicked the door open, and stared intently at Chen Shuting and Xu Lei.

When Chen Shuting saw Chengcheng, she rolled her eyes at her.

Xu Lei said awkwardly, "Chengcheng, what brings you here?"

"Why should I get three clubs? You gave me three, but you gave her ten. Am I worse than Chen Shuting or something? Am I that bad?"

Xu Lei said, "You're not bad at all, you're the best."

Chen Shuting said, "So you mean I'm terrible, right?"

No, no.

That's not how it's described.

Xu Lei said, "No, no, you're fine too."

Chen Shuting said, "Then, between me and her, who is better? You tell me."

Xu Lei was stunned.

Chengcheng put her hands on her hips and said, "Speak up, aren't you usually very talkative?"

Xu Lei said, "Xiao Qiang, hey, Xiao Qiang, why are you calling me? Oh dear, something's happened. Your grandma is about to give birth. Wait for me, I'll go check on her right away and arrange for a hospital."

However, Xu Lei, who had just gotten out of bed and was about to run away, was stopped by Cheng Cheng.

"Spend more time with her. She's been through so much betrayal and backstabbing lately, she's exhausted and has no one to rely on. If you leave, she'll be scared."

“We women aren’t that tough. Be sensible, Xiao Lei.”

"I'm not jealous, I was just teasing you, sweetie."

Chapter Sixty: Chen Shuting's Strategic Vision (Please Subscribe, Second Update)

Would Chengcheng be willing to share Xu Lei with others? Of course not.

Neither Chengcheng nor Chen Shuting would allow it, because they are both selfish; to be precise, all women are selfish.

That's reality. Can we live together peacefully, like in novels, holding hands and being little dogs together?

However, Chengcheng is very understanding, and so is Chen Shuting. This must be due to the system's help.
