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

Page 48

He Yun remained silent, and everyone looked at Xu Lei.

"Today, I'll play the role of a male prostitute and keep Director He Yun company. Come on, let's drink."

He Yun picked up his wine glass and took a sip with Xu Lei.

He Yun stared blankly at Xu Lei and whispered, "What are you doing? What are you planning to do?"

Xu Lei gently placed his hand on He Yun's leg.

It's natural, but also obvious.

[Ding, He Yun's sense of shame +1]

Sun Xing, standing to the side, was utterly dumbfounded.

Xu Jiang watched silently from afar, inwardly giving a thumbs-up.

My son is really something else. He's my own son after all; he's really bold.

Several bigwigs on one side all gave a thumbs up.

Little Lei, you're really awesome.

He Yun looked at Xu Lei, wanting to move, but found that Xu Lei didn't give her a chance at all.

"Come on, Director He Yun, if I ever open a chain store in your area, you'll have to take care of me."

He Yun said, "Of course, that's easy. Wait a minute, I'm going to the restroom."

Xu Lei said, "I'll go with you."

When He Yun tried to decline, he and Xu Lei went into the restroom together.

The whole place was quiet.

No one spoke.

Silence fell.

Xu Lei has gone mad.

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

Inside the restroom, He Yun made his move without giving Xu Lei a chance to react.

Their movements are swift, accurate, and ruthless; they are all deadly moves.

Xu Lei retaliated quickly, locking He Yun in place and holding him captive.

"Deputy Director He Yun, do you really want to kill me?"

With his back to Xu Lei, He Yun looked at himself in the mirror and said, "Xu Lei, are you crazy? What are you planning to do?"

Xu Lei said, "I really like your identity."

He Yun asked, "My identity?"

Xu Lei leaned close to He Yun's ear and said, "Let me think about this a bit more. Although Gao Mingyuan is heartless, he cares a lot about his reputation. Everyone knows that you and Gao Mingyuan might be having an affair. Gao Mingyuan is setting traps for me everywhere, trying to get me on his pirate ship. It's not too much for me to take one of his rumored girlfriends, is it?"

"You're overthinking it. Gao Mingyuan and I aren't that close."

"It doesn't matter. Gao Mingyuan made his fortune by taking advantage of the situation. Your feelings don't matter; what matters is what others think."

[Ding, He Yun's sense of shame +10]

He Yun sensed Xu Lei.

“You’re really crazy. You’re not much older than Sun Xing. I’m your elder.”

Xu Lei said, "You can see what I've been doing lately. People outside know my personality all too well."

He Yun was surprised by Xu Lei's strength.

She was already quite skilled in combat, but unexpectedly, she couldn't even last a few moves against Xu Lei.

"If it weren't for your identity, do you think I would be interested in you?"

Men's attraction to women can be categorized into several levels.

The first level is being good-looking and young.

The second level is mature and has charm.

The third level is for those of high status.

This is why many articles about officialdom emphasize the identity of the female bureau chief.

"Take good care of the Chinese medicine I gave you. I think it will be very interesting when you get better and more beautiful."

He Yun said, "Believe it or not, I'll shoot you dead."

Xu Lei took out He Yun's gun and placed it on his temple, close to He Yun.

"Do you think this bullet could kill us both?"

"You're a madman."

Xu Lei said, "Yes, I really am a madman. Doesn't Sun Xing want to harm me? Do you think I don't know? Sun Xing brought drugs into this nightclub."

"Sun Xing doesn't touch those things."

“Does it matter? Sun Xing is here, and then Jinghai has uncovered the drug case. What do you think people will think? I’ve told you many times, what you think is not important. What matters is what others think.”

Xu Lei released He Yun, then bit his lip hard.

Blood flowed down instantly.

Then, Xu Lei applied a little to the corner of He Yun's mouth.

I opened the door and went outside.

When Uncle Tai saw this, he burst into laughter.

When Chengcheng saw Xu Lei, she couldn't help but say, "Xiao Lei, do you like married women that much? Otherwise, give me a few more clubs, and I'll keep you company tonight."

"Get lost, I'm not interested. I'm not interested in the women you get."

"That's true. By the way, I heard you've been getting close to Chen Shuting, and now you've set your sights on Deputy Director He Yun. Wow, that's quite something. It seems Shuting doesn't have that much charm to keep you here."

In the original novel, He Yun was indeed not very beautiful, but she wasn't bad-looking either.

The fact that Gao Mingyuan gave He Yun a cheongsam shows that He Yun can definitely pull it off.

Women who can pull off a cheongsam are not ordinary women.

Without the system, Xu Lei might not have been able to bring himself to do it, but with the system, he was starting to look forward to it.

Xu Lei wanted to see just how far this traditional Chinese medicine could go.

He Yun came out, without wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Then he sat down on the sofa calmly.

Xu Lei was humiliated, and then returned to his position.

At this moment, Chen Shuting walked in, and Xu Lei acted very subserviently, going up to grab Chen Shuting's hand, but Chen Shuting shook him off.

Xu Lei pointed at Chen Shuting and said, "You stinking woman."

"We only have a business relationship, we're not that close. You give me money, I'll accompany you, that's all."

Fueled by alcohol, Xu Lei pointed at He Yun and Chen Shuting, saying, "You fucking bastards, you're all provoking me. Fine, I'm leaving. Looks like this place isn't going to keep me here."

After saying that, Xu Lei led Gao Qilan out of the private room.

Uncle Tai said, "Xu Jiang, go and check on Xiao Lei. He's had too much to drink today."

Xu Jiang nodded and left as well.

After leaving the private room and getting into the car, Xu Lei yawned and asked, "How was it?"

Gao Qilan said, "Boss, there's still a lot I need to learn from you. You're amazing. That last thing you did was absolutely brilliant. I almost believed you were really angry."

[Ding, Gao Qilan's worship points +10].

[Ding, Gao Qilan's Affection Points +10]

Goodness, they even distinguish between adoration and love?

In fact, Xu Lei discovered during Huang Xi's incident that everyone's attribute points were refreshed differently. Xu Lei even guessed that everyone might have different emotional points that Xu Lei could refresh.

Gao Qilan definitely likes her; Gao Qilan herself firmly believes this.

But liking something doesn't necessarily mean you can move on to the next step; it still takes time.

Xu Lei felt both embarrassed and attracted to Huang Xi.

This is similar to the setup in some strategy games, with two different routes and two endings.

It's getting more interesting.

"Boss, where are we going?"

Xu Lei said, "I'm hungry, let's find somewhere to eat. By the way, you haven't been drinking, have you?"

"That's not there."

"Drive me to Green Vine City. I'll give you a seat; I want to eat wontons."

Meanwhile, Uncle Tai received the news in the private room and said, "Xiao Lei went to Green Vine, Director He. Xiao Lei has no other faults except for being a womanizer. Please bear with him."

"I know that if I teach him a lesson, he'll behave himself."

"When you get to your Green Vine place, please remember to have someone look after him. I'm worried that Xiao Lei might cause trouble at night; the boy's emotions haven't been very stable lately."

He glanced at Chen Shuting, seemingly unintentionally.

Chen Shuting said, "Xiao Lei wants me to fall in love with him, but I can't do it."

He's a pitiful person, actually.

He Yun said, "Okay, I'll make a call and have someone keep an eye on things. I'll pretend that what happened with Xu Lei today never happened."

Everyone nodded.

Looking at everyone present, He Yun realized without realizing it that Xu Lei had done something really impressive.

No one present knew that Xu Lei was the mastermind behind everything, and they were all willing to work for Xu Lei and plead for him.

This method terrified He Yun, yet it also made him feel safe.

Unlike Gao Mingyuan's cold-heartedness, Xu Lei's seriousness is the most frightening.

As Gao Xiaoqin observed all of this, she realized that Xu Lei and Qi Tongwei were actually different.

They are completely different approaches, both of which are half a move ahead of fate, but Xu Lei's calculations are more subtle and impossible to find.

Qi Tongwei calculates things, while Xu Lei calculates people's hearts.

Qi Tongwei's teacher once said, "Man can conquer nature," but how can man achieve stability?

Calculating events and outcomes is not as important as calculating people's hearts.

At this moment, Xu Lei, reeking of alcohol, walked into the wonton restaurant, found a chair, sat down, and said, "Boss lady, I'm here to eat wontons again."

Yu Jingjing pulled back the curtain and said, "Ah, Mr. Xu is here. You've come at just the right time. I'll give you a share of the monthly profits."

Xu Lei said, "No need, it's agreed that we'll settle it at the end of the year. I trust you. I'm starving, can you get me some side dishes?"

"Then let me have someone send some vegetables over, and I'll cook them for you."

Yu Jingjing sensibly closed the door and put up the "Showroom Closed" sign.

Gao Qilan looked at Yu Jingjing and said, "Boss, do you have a built-in radar?"

"What radar?"

"If you use the 'Beauty Radar,' you'll always find hidden beauties."

Just then, the door was pushed open, and the girl carrying a briefcase looked at Xu Lei and asked, "Where's the boss's wife?"

"I went to buy groceries. Come, sit down. It's fate that we met. Let's eat together."

"I know you. You're Xu Lei?"

"May I ask who you are?"
