Xu Lei, who was still asleep, was woken up by a phone call.
"Are you up yet?"
"Don't forget you promised me you'd go shopping with me today!"
Chengcheng's voice came through the phone.
"Okay, okay, I'll come find you right now!"
Xu Lei stretched after hanging up the phone.
"You went shopping with Sister Chengcheng today, so you have to come shopping with me tomorrow too. You can't favor one over the other!"
Gao Qilan said, holding Xu Lei's arm.
In public, she is the decisive, cool, and assertive Sister Lan.
But in front of Xu Lei, she was always a jealous and coquettish girlfriend.
"Don't worry, as long as I have time, I'll definitely accompany you to do anything you want to do!"
After making the promise, Xu Lei got dressed and left home.
As he drove to Bai Jinhan's place, he happened to see a stranger walk in.
"Do you know that person?"
Chengcheng, who had gotten into the car at some point, asked Xu Lei.
"do not know."
Xu Lei shook his head.
"Then ignore him. Today, you can only have me on your mind!"
Chengcheng said with an air of dominance.
Chapter 156 Keeping the Appointment with Jiang Tian (Please subscribe, thank you)
Beauty is a woman's nature.
Chengcheng was no exception.
She chose the shopping mall as the meeting place.
Looking at the dazzling array of luxury goods in front of her, Chengcheng immediately became interested, trying on this and that.
As for Xu Lei, he stood in front of the observation window, staring at a street below that was blocked off.
"I heard that street has been planned as a lovers' street, but I don't know when construction will begin."
"Wow, really? You have to come with me to see it when it's fixed!"
Xu Lei overheard a conversation between a young couple passing by.
His interest was immediately dampened.
It was just an ordinary street, not even worth his attention.
"To be honest, I'm quite interested in this Lovers' Street."
Chengcheng came closer, her expression exactly the same as that of the young couple from before.
I'm absolutely thrilled!
"If you really like it, I can buy this project and give it to you."
Xu Lei put his arm around Chengcheng's slender waist.
"really?"
Chengcheng's eyes were full of anticipation.
"uncertain."
Xu Lei grinned mischievously, "The final result will depend on your performance tonight!"
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you leave the house clutching your back tomorrow!"
...
In the following period, Xu Lei sent Xiao Qiang to inquire about everything on that Lovers' Street.
Xiao Qiang's whereabouts were noticed by Zhang Long.
Knowing that Xiao Qiang was Xu Lei's confidant, he went to find Jiang Tian immediately.
"Who are Xu Lei's backers?"
Jiang Tian asked while playing Legend of Mir.
"To date, I have never heard anyone mention that he has a powerful backer."
Zhang Long told the truth.
This sentence also made Jiang Tian pause in his typing.
Established the Xiaolong brand, launched Tencent Software, built industrial parks, developed Wanda shopping malls, and researched and developed new energy vehicles.
Xu Lei has a long list of 'great achievements'.
How did someone like him manage to have no powerful backer?
"I'm not sure about that."
"Xu Lei always acts mysterious."
There are too many mysteries surrounding him!
Zhang Long shook his head.
Is he really that amazing?
Jiang Tian completely stopped playing the game.
"Absolutely true!"
"It's said that even Chengcheng, the queen of the Jinghai club, is his woman!"
"Oh, by the way, the Bai Jinhan club we frequented the other day is a club owned by Chengcheng!"
Upon hearing Zhang Long's reply, Jiang Tian couldn't help but frown.
He was determined to win the Lovers' Avenue project; otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled all the way from his hometown to Jinghai.
If Xu Lei is also interested in this project...
"No, I have to go and meet this Xu Lei!"
"Go and contact Xu Lei right now and tell him I'm inviting him to Bai Jinhan for drinks tonight!"
Jiang Tianxia issued an order.
the other side.
Upon receiving Zhang Long's call, Xu Lei accepted the invitation without hesitation.
That night.
Bai Jinhan.
"Mr. Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are indeed a man of great talent!"
Upon seeing Xu Lei enter the private room, Zhang Long hurriedly went forward to greet him.
"The person who actually asked me out today wasn't you, but that other person, right?"
Xu Lei leaned forward slightly and looked at Jiang Tian sitting on the sofa. "What, aren't you going to introduce me to him?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Long patted his head in a mock manner: "Look at my memory!"
He pulled Xu Lei to stand in front of Jiang Tian.
"Boss Jiang, this is Xu Lei, the most powerful and influential figure in Jinghai!"
After saying that, Zhang Long turned to Xu Lei and said, "Mr. Xu, this is Mr. Jiang Tian from Hong Kong!"
After a brief introduction, Zhang Long shut his mouth, silently took a step back, and looked at the two figures standing and sitting in front of him.
They simply glanced at each other.
Jiang Tian stood up to show his respect for Xu Lei, but Xu Lei simply sat down again.
This made Jiang Tian, who had extended his right hand, somewhat embarrassed.
"Mr. Jiang, I don't like those superficial projects. Just say what you want to say!"
Xu Lei picked up a can of beer.
With a gentle press of the finger, the pull ring instantly dented, creating an opening.
"This is a show of force against me!"
Jiang Tian thought to himself.
Even though he was already somewhat displeased, he still smiled and extended his right hand again: "I have long admired Mr. Xu's name. Meeting you today, I finally understand the true meaning of the ancient saying 'Heroes emerge from among the young.'"
"Mr. Xu is indeed a handsome and talented man!"
Xu Lei remained unmoved by these words and continued drinking his beer.
"Mr. Xu?"
Jiang Tian called out tentatively.
"I said, just say what you have to say, don't make me repeat myself!"
Xu Lei gently squeezed the beer can in his hand, and it crumpled into a ball with a creaking sound.
Seeing this, Jiang Tian swallowed hard and continued, "Since Boss Xu has put it this way, I have no choice but to comply."
"I invited Mr. Xu over today mainly to discuss the renovation of Lovers' Street."
So that's what it was all about!
Xu Lei nodded, gesturing for Jiang Tian to sit down.
"Mr. Jiang, to be honest, everyone in Jinghai knows that I am a womanizer."
"That Lovers' Street isn't something I personally value, but rather something my woman, Chengcheng, the owner of this club, values."
"We're all men, we care about our pride. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to suddenly take back what you promised your woman?"
It was as if they had expected this to happen.
Jiang Tian brought the briefcase he had placed on the sofa to Xu Lei and gestured for him to enter.
Open the box lid.
It was filled with hundred-yuan bills.
At least one million!
Before Xu Lei could speak, Jiang Tian raised his chin again, gesturing for Xu Lei to look at the corner of the wall.
There are four more identical boxes there!
"Mr. Xu, I'm offering five million to buy you face with your woman. I wonder if you think it's worth it, or not?"
Jiang Tian smiled faintly.
The Lovers' Street project is indeed profitable, but it requires time and a significant initial investment.
Any normal person would choose the five million in cash placed in front of them without exception!
"Haha, it seems that Boss Jiang is indeed a smart man."
Xu Lei, who had closed the box lid, took out his phone and dialed Chengcheng's number.
Chengcheng was already standing at the door of the private room.
After waiting for about five minutes, she came in and sat in Xu Lei's lap.
"Chengcheng, there's something I need to tell you."
Xu Lei touched Chengcheng's thigh and said, "Stab."
"I'll listen to you about everything between us."
