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

Page 46

"Why do you keep asking about this? Just ask Chen Shuting yourself."

"No way, ten clubs? I can't afford to mess with such a big shot. They're too expensive. I'm very poor, I don't have any money."

Xu Lei took Meng Yu down the mountain and arranged an office in the industrial park to receive Huang Xi.

Huang Xi, wearing glasses, is unassuming and unassuming.

However, the clever Meng Yu immediately noticed Huang Xi's beauty.

"Wow, Xu Lei, where did you find such a beautiful woman?"

Xu Lei said, "Huang Xi, a reporter from Green Vine City, has been investigating Sun Xing for many years."

"Huang Xi, this is Meng Yu, the owner of the largest online newspaper on Tencent News."

The two shook hands and then sat down.

Xu Lei said, "Actually, Huang Xi, I don't trust you very much, after all, we haven't known each other for very long. But I still hope you do your job well, understand?"

Huang Xi nodded and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Every TV series has a beloved, unattainable character.

Huang Xi is considered the ideal woman among girls.

They can comfort people, and they will also disregard everything else in pursuit of justice.

Although he is impulsive, he is truly kind-hearted and gentle.

Generally, when someone confides in you, most people will say, "What does this have to do with me?"

Huang Xi wouldn't do that. Instead, she would share some of her own experiences to comfort the other person and hope they could overcome their suffering.

A pushover?

But doesn't this world need a few more pushovers?

Meng Yu also noticed Huang Xi's gentleness and kindness.

When Xu Lei gave water to the two of them, Huang Xi would proactively open the bottle for Meng Yu, giving it to Meng Yu first, and then to herself.

When eating fruit, I would ask Meng Yu, "Do you like this?"

If Meng Yu likes it, Huang Xi will give her the fruit.

Honestly, for a rebellious girl like Meng Yu, someone like that is simply unsolvable.

Wow, are there really people in this world who are solely devoted to others?

"First, we need to start investigating Sun Xing's case, but don't report on it too much, understand?"

The two nodded.

"Secondly, from now on, the content of the reports will not be limited to Jinghai, but will include Lvteng City and even surrounding cities, with Lvteng City as the main focus at present."

Meng Yu squinted, realizing Xu Lei's plan.

Xu Lei plans to take over Green Vine City.

"Thirdly, you should get along well and complement each other's learning, but remember, never put yourselves in a dangerous place."

Meng Yu said, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Xu Lei said disdainfully, "You two would definitely fight to the death for me, and I don't want that."

You're shameless.

Meng Yu looked at him with disdain, while Huang Xi chuckled.

Xu Lei said, "I'm serious, I'm not joking, understand?"

Meng Yu said, "I understand. Even if something happens to you, I won't risk my life."

Xu Lei said, "Okay, remember that. Keep it in mind. That's all. I'll give you another ten million. Remember, this money is for rewards."

"award?"

Xu Lei said, "Anyone who provides interesting news can receive a certain amount of bonus support. The two of you need to find useful clues in these news stories, compile them, and give them to me when I need them."

Huang Xi and Meng Yu nodded very seriously.

"I asked Xiaoqiang to arrange a car for you. Do you need a driver?"

Meng Yu shook her head and said, "No, such a nice car, I'll drive it myself."

"Suit yourself. Here are the car keys, take them."

After getting the car keys, Meng Yu looked at Huang Xi and said, "Come on, I'll take you for a drive. By the way, Xu Lei, can we use this money to go shopping?"

"Just take what's given to you and use it. It's no big deal if you spend the money."

"Aren't you angry?"

Xu Lei said, "Why would I be angry about this? Come on, you have to spend money to make sure everyone knows you're rich. That's how people dare to give you information. If you don't spend money, how can anyone believe you're rich?"

Meng Yu paused for a moment, then said, "Good idea. Just wait and see. But let me make this clear: I've never spent a lot of money before, and I wouldn't dare to waste it."

Xu Lei nodded and said, "Whatever. If anything happens, I'll deal with you."

Meng Yu stood up, turned around, and said, "Come on, please, hit me, come on, come on."

Xu Lei got up and was about to kick Meng Yu, but Meng Yu grabbed Huang Xi and ran away in a flash.

You can't hit me, you can't hit me, that'll make you so angry.

In the car, Huang Xi said, "We're not really going to spend money, are we?"

"You look pretty rich, are you scared?"

"It's not that I'm scared, it's just that I don't dare to spend money recklessly. After all, he's the one who asked us to do things. I want to investigate Sun Xing's affairs, and Xu Lei happens to want to as well, so it's kind of a collaboration. It's just that I'm a little hesitant to pay so much..."

"Just consider it a tactic Xu Lei used to pursue you."

"Chase...chase me? Don't talk nonsense. What are you saying? Chase me? Why?"

"Why would I contact you if I wasn't pursuing you? What are you so nervous about? It's normal for a man to pursue a woman. Whether she agrees or not is in your hands, isn't it?"

"That's right."

Huang Xi looked at Huang Xi very seriously, leaned closer and said, "You weren't just smitten, were you?"

Huang Xi blushed instantly and said, "I didn't, you're talking nonsense, hurry up and drive."

At that moment, Xu Lei heard an interesting sound.

[Ding! Huang Xi's affection points +1]

Xu Lei frowned. How did this thing appear?

But upon closer examination, Huang Xi is indeed difficult to deal with.

This girl grew up in a wealthy family, was pampered, and lived in a positive and uplifting environment. She is the kind of person who dares to love and hate and bravely charges forward.

Girls like this naturally receive a traditional education and clearly understand that they care a lot about relationships.

Xu Lei has a good reputation, so it's already quite good that Huang Xi doesn't dislike him.

It was just that a sudden flutter of the heart made Xu Lei realize that something was wrong.

After sitting in his office for a moment and thinking, Xu Lei took out his phone and said, "Back to work?"

"I'm in the industrial park, downstairs. What's up?"

"As I went upstairs, my intuition told me that a leader was coming to see me."

Gao Qilan ran in.

Just as Xu Lei was about to speak, his phone rang.

Hearing the other person's voice, Xu Lei said quietly, "Have someone bring up some tea leaves, and don't say anything out of line later."

Gao Qilan nodded and kept it in mind.

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

The car slowly drove into the industrial park, and He Yun sat in the back seat.

This female leader, seeing the development of the industrial park, sincerely admired Xu Lei.

The vast industrial park felt like another world.

The architecture, machinery, and so on are all the latest trends and things you can't see right now.

He Yun also understood why Wang Zheng valued Xu Lei so highly.

All of this was earned through Xu Lei's own abilities.

The biggest protective umbrella.

This path belongs to Xu Lei himself, and it is something many people envy, but it is also something that others cannot achieve.

Inside the car, Gao Xiaoqin said with a smile, "Director He Yun, I didn't expect you to invite me to travel with you."

"I came by myself and didn't know what to talk about, so I brought you along."

Gao Xiaoqin said, "The industrial park is great, but Xu Lei won't budge. I've even thought about opening one myself, but without Xu Lei's brains, the industrial park is just a bunch of dilapidated buildings. Only with Xu Lei can it be a real industrial park."

Led by the secretary, the two arrived at Xu Lei's office. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a scene they shouldn't have seen.

At this moment, Gao Qilan sat in Xu Lei's lap, with two buttons undone on her white shirt.

He Yun and Gao Xiaoqin exchanged an awkward glance. Xu Lei said, "Didn't you know to let me know? I've told you so many times, don't just push open my office door."

The secretary kept apologizing, then slunk away.

Gao Qilan stood up, buttoned her shirt with a slightly shy expression, and said, "Well, I won't disturb you any longer, boss."

"Go down."

Gao Qilan turned and left.

Gao Xiaoqin said, "Mr. Xu is quite the ladies' man; the rumors are indeed true."

Xu Lei said, "Boss Gao, if you're just here to mock me, you might as well not bother contacting me."

Gao Xiaoqin said, "No, let me see. You spent money at three clubs to get Chengcheng, and then spent ten clubs to get Chen Shuting. Many people say that you are very interested in married women. I thought about it, and I am also a married woman. How about I do?"

Xu Lei chuckled and said, "Sorry, I can't afford it, you're too expensive."

"Tch, so unromantic."

How could someone who becomes the boss of the Shanshui Group be the kind of person who would have a one-night stand with Xu Lei? They're all ancient vixens; how could they possibly be someone with that kind of personality?

"Then how about her? I think she's a good candidate."

Xu Lei said, "Are you crazy?"

"No, let me introduce you, this is He Yun, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and the director of the Anti-Organized Crime Office here in Green Vine. How about that, high position and great power."

Xu Lei said quietly, "She also has another title, Gao Mingyuan's first love."

Gao Xiaoqin stopped speaking, her previous laughter vanished, and her face turned cold.

The speed at which they change their expressions is incredibly fast.

For powerful business figures, changing their tune is the most common tactic.

Xu Lei poured some tea and invited the two to sit in front of him.

Xu Lei said, "Gao He, Sun Xing's original name, Director He Yun, don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions. I was just guessing about this, but your eyes tell me that my guess is accurate."

He Yun said, "Boss Xu really has connections everywhere. No wonder Gao Mingyuan was willing to send his child here."

Xu Lei looked at He Yun and said, "Let me make another bold guess: did you have a relationship with Gao Mingyuan? My intuition tells me that it doesn't seem so."

He Yun did not speak.

"I can see that about Chen Shuting. You're probably going down that path too. You're very similar to Chen Shuting. A woman like you is just beginning to experience love, but that doesn't mean you'll actually raise a child. The child will become a burden to you."

He Yun said, "Sun Xing is indeed my son."

Xu Lei snapped his fingers and said, "Back in college, you were just starting to fall in love? No, let me guess again. It wasn't falling in love, but a tactic. But you've discovered that having a child isn't a way for you to control Gao Mingyuan. Gao Mingyuan isn't as stupid as you think."

Gao Xiaoqin took a sip of tea and didn't interrupt.

(The explanation that He Yun and Gao Mingyuan had a child through surrogacy is for the sake of later plot development. I hope everyone understands. This is a part of the author's drastic change.)

He Yun said, "Are you saying all this to intimidate me?"
