"Yes, it's a misunderstanding!"
Wen Liang smiled and smoothed things over. Ding Ye looked at him gratefully and prepared to leave with the terrified woman. Wen Liang said, "As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Leave your business card and we can have dinner together when we have time."
Ding Ye was flattered, he opened his briefcase, took out a gold-stamped business card and handed it over respectfully with both hands. At that moment, Wen Liang saw that there was indeed a thick stack of banknotes in the briefcase, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He took the business card and put it away casually, saying: "How about this first, Ding Ye, you go about your business?"
"I dare not, I dare not, from now on just call me Xiao Ding," Ding Ye bent down and smiled, "You two are busy, you are busy, we will go in and pick out some clothes."
When the salesgirl brought Ding Ye in, Lei Fang frowned and said, "When I saw the gold chain around his neck, I wanted to slap him in the face. It's a good thing you have such a good temper..."
Wen Liang smiled and didn't continue the conversation. He wanted Ding Ye's business card, of course, for no reason, but there was no need to tell Lei Fang about this. He looked in the direction where Zhu Zixuan went and joked, "Master Lei, you are going to kill me. Why did you bring this young lady here? Do you want to save my life?"
I have been so busy with the new company these days that I haven't had time to ask about Wan Siwei. Last night, Wan came over again and begged for mercy. His pitiful look was really unbearable to watch. So Wen Liang made an appointment with Lei Fang for lunch and planned to ask about this matter. They had originally agreed to meet at the entrance of Jinyu Hutong, but he came to Armani directly and brought Zhu Zixuan with him.
Lei Fang said helplessly, "I was careless today and couldn't get away from her. She has been pestering me for the whole morning and I can't get away. She knew I was coming to Goldfish Alley and she happened to have ordered a piece of clothing for her brother Zhu Zizhou, so she insisted on coming over. There was nothing I could do."
Wen Liang smiled in a way that any man would understand, and said, "Mr. Lei is so lucky..."
Lei Fang laughed dumbly and said, "I treat her as a sister. She is the youngest in this generation and can't talk to others. I am the only one who is not respectful to her and is willing to play with her all day, so I am closer to her than others."
The two of them sat down in the rest area while talking. Lei Fang said worriedly, "I can't get rid of this girl for a while. I have to go to a dinner party in the afternoon. If you can stand her, we can have dinner together later..."
"Okay, let's do it another day!" Wen Liang raised his hands and said, "Miss Zhu is still angry. She must be in agony over this meal. I'd better be sensible."
Lei Fang laughed: "Zixuan is actually very easy to deal with. Girls love to play and make trouble. If you take some time to take her around one day, I promise that you two will put aside your past grudges."
"Okay, I'll make a note of that." Wen Liang agreed with a smile, then casually looked at his watch and calculated the time. It was time for Lao Wan to call.
The ground in Beijing was evil. Just as he thought of this, Lei Fang's phone rang. He frowned and said, "Old Wan, why are you calling again? Didn't I ask you to wait for my letter?... I know, I'm trying to find a solution. Don't keep urging me. I'm busy with your little thing. Wouldn't you have starved to death?... Okay, wait a little longer. Be patient. I'll get back to you."
After hanging up the phone, Lei Fang snorted disdainfully. Wen Liang asked Wan Siwei to call at this time yesterday in order to find a suitable opportunity to cut into the topic and make Lei Fang not suspicious. After all, if he rashly asked, or rashly spoke for Wan Siwei, with Lei Fang's temperament, who knows what the consequences would be.
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Which Lao Wan?"
"You've seen this guy before, the Wan Siwei I met at the Jingcheng Hotel last time. He keeps urging us about trivial matters all day long without even realizing where we are. Are you in a hurry? There's no pit, so there's no point in being in a hurry!"
Wen Liang was such a person that he could sense something strange in these few words. Lei Fang had previously controlled Wan Siwei just to squeeze him dry. As the saying goes, killing the pig and washing the plate, the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry. This was not a big deal and was within reason. But since he had taken this job, he had to at least take the money and do something. Otherwise, if the news got out and his reputation was ruined, who would dare to look for him
But now it sounded like Lei Fang clearly had no intention of helping Wan Siwei anymore!
Wan Siwei was on the other end of the phone, and he could only hear his voice but not see him, so of course he wouldn't notice anything unusual. But Wen Liang was different. Lei Fang didn't expect that he would have any contact with Wan Siwei. Once he relaxed his expression and mentality, he naturally revealed some flaws.
Something must have gone wrong! Otherwise, Lei Fang had even fought with Mo Xiaoan a few days ago to get the chance to take over Wan Siwei. How could he let go so easily
Wen Liang thought for a moment. He was about to return to Qingzhou and had no time to waste on this matter. He might as well test the waters and go straight to the point. He said, "Master Lei, there is something I want to ask you. I don't know if I should ask you or not."
Lei Fang patted Wen Liang's shoulder cheerfully, but if you looked more carefully you would find that there was no smile in his eyes. He looked calm and indifferent, revealing a very shrewd look.
"What shouldn't we brothers ask? What's wrong with publishing a book? Damn it, if anyone dares to trip me up, tell me and I'll kill him!"
"It's not about the book, it's about Wan Siwei..."
"Oh," Lei Fang paused, leaned back on the sofa, and said slowly, "Old Wan, did he beg you for this?"
"That's not the case. I'm just curious. Is it difficult to handle Wan Siwei's case? He's just a small deputy director, just moving to another place..." Wen Liang smiled and said, "I'm curious too. Maybe one day my dad will have to come to Beijing to run around. If I don't listen to Master Lei's inside story, I'll be itching to do it..."
Lei Fang was very suspicious. He had already figured out Wen Liang's background and knew that his father was very popular in Jiangdong. However, he still didn't understand his relationship with Ning Xi and Yan Qixiu. Lei Fang didn't have the courage to investigate. Anyway, they were friends, not enemies, and living in harmony was the most important thing.
"This is actually not that complicated," Lei Fang said in a low voice, "Wan Siwei has offended too many people in Jiangyue Province. Some people don't want him to make a comeback, so they came to me..."
Wen Liang understood the meaning of the music by hearing the music. It turned out that Wan Siwei's opponent knew that he was coming to the capital and also found Lei Fang. Just looking at the change in Lei Fang's attitude, it goes without saying that the money spent must be considerable.
Political struggles have always been cruel, but they would not let go even if they pushed people to this point, unless they had a mortal enemy. No wonder Wan Siwei knelt down to show his attitude when he first met Wen Liang, it turned out that he was already in such a precarious situation in Jiangyue.
No one in this world is simple! Let alone Wan Siwei, just looking at Lei Fang's usual rough and careless appearance, who would have thought that he would eat the plaintiff and the defendant, and be a cannibal without spitting out bones
"But if Wan Siwei's plan fails, won't it affect your reputation, Master Lei?"
Lei Fang chuckled, "So I didn't say I wouldn't help him. We'll just hold off for now. When we've squeezed him dry, the materials over there should be ready. By then, let alone moving, it's a blessing from our ancestors that he doesn't have to go to jail. Ha, he didn't clean up his own mess and can't beat others, but that's not our fault. If he really has the ability to stand firm, it won't be too late to help him then. But judging from the current situation, the chances of Lao Wan turning the tables are not much higher than my old man becoming a regular..."
It was really great, Wen Liang had to admit that he was impressed. To be precise, Lei Fang did nothing, but just asked for money from both sides, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers. He got the benefits without getting involved, and he was able to win favors from both sides. This kind of scheming and means really showed that he was a shrewd person honed in the big pool of Beijing.
While she was sighing, Fan Bo had already dressed up and came out. It was true that clothes make the man, and this outfit really gave him the temperament of a Confucian businessman. Wen Liang stood up, nodded, and said, "Let's take this one. How much is it?" Zhu Zixuan also came over with clothes, pointed at her, and said, "How much is it in total, including this one?"
Zhu Zixuan glared and said, "You are pretending to be kind, can't I afford it?"
Wen Liang is very experienced in dealing with such unruly girls. The more you fawn on others, the more counterproductive it will be. He said calmly, "What job does Miss Zhu do now and how much does she earn a month?" The implication is that, apart from your family background, you really can't afford it.
"you!"
Zhu Zixuan's eyes were wide open, and she was so angry that she was about to spit fire. Lei Fang had a headache. He didn't know if these two people had a conflict of fate. They started to fight as soon as they met. He said, "Brother, are you going to hit me in the face? I'll pay the bill. Whoever steals it will be angry with me."
The shopping guide girl interrupted and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that the gentleman who wanted to join us has already paid."
Lei Fang and Wen Liang looked at each other. Lei Fang laughed and said, "I didn't expect this country bumpkin to be so good at dealing with people."
Wen Liang looked around and saw that Ding Ye had left without him knowing when. How could he accept such a gift? He motioned Fan Bo to go over and pay for it and said, "No merit, no reward. Besides, this is my chance to apologize to Miss Zhu. How can I give it to someone else?"
After saying that, he winked at Zhu Zixuan. Zhu Zixuan curled her lips and turned her head to the side, but strangely did not refute.
The shopping guide girl said in embarrassment: "Then, what about that gentleman's money?"
Wen Liang smiled slightly: "Your store manager is not here, right? You girls should share this money. It is considered as compensation for the mental damage caused by the man who frightened you just now..."
Two pieces of clothing cost nearly 100,000 yuan, and they were divided up like this? The shopping guide was so scared that she was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Zhu Zixuan burst out laughing. Only this irritating guy could come up with such a mean idea. She naturally wouldn't ask for favors from that disgusting-looking guy, but she didn't have much resistance in her heart when it came to Wen Liang paying the bill.
Humph, since you have offended me, you deserve to bleed a little!
What she didn't know was that Uncle Wen's style was always to bleed a little himself but make others bleed heavily. He had never done any business at a loss!
When they walked out of the store, there were sporadic snowflakes outside. Zhu Zixuan was overjoyed and jumped a few times in the snow. Then she ran back and pulled Lei Fang's sleeve, saying, "Brother Lei, can you accompany me to Longqing Gorge to enjoy the snow tomorrow? Okay?"
Lei Fang was pestered and said, "I really have something to do tomorrow, how about the day after tomorrow? I will definitely accompany you the day after tomorrow!"
"Bah, I can tell you're not sincere. My dad will be back the day after tomorrow, and I might even be grounded. How can I leave the house?"
Zhu Jiusi must have known what happened to Zhu Zixuan on the train. Of course, no one dared to hide it from him, and house arrest was almost certain. Wen Liang was watching the joke happily. Lei Fang saw his gloating smile, rolled his eyes, and said, "I really can't do it tomorrow... How about this, Mr. Wen has time tomorrow, let him accompany you, you are about the same age, you should have something in common, and it won't be boring to play together."
Zhu Zixuan looked at Wen Liang with a sidelong glance, and said nothing. Not speaking meant tacit agreement. Wen Liang still had some common sense. He knew that if he refused again this time, he would probably be hated by this young lady. Moreover, in his impromptu plan today, this young lady Zhu also occupied an important position. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's my honor!"
Seeing that he understood, Zhu Zixuan's annoyance subsided a little, and she said, "This guy looks stupid and silly, he must be very boring. But since you have something to do, Brother Lei, I agreed with reluctance."
Lei Fang felt relieved after he dealt with Zhu Zixuan. The beginning and end of each year were his busiest times for business. He had a lot to do these two days, so he didn't have the time to hang out with her. He patted Wen Liang on the shoulder and whispered, "Thanks, brother. If she loses her temper, you should be patient. When we get back, I'll take you to Dandelion to cool off... Hey, do you remember those girls from last time? If you don't like them, there are still new unopened ones..."
In the final analysis, Lei Fang is still a typical dandy boy. However, compared with ordinary dandies, his starting point is too high, money comes easily, and his level and taste are far beyond the average level. But all this cannot cover up the fact that he is a dandy boy - compared with those red children of the same generation who have struggled in the system or are calling the shots in the business world, his light is as small and pathetic as a firefly.
This is also why playboys are always chasing after money and women, and eventually become drained by alcohol, sex, money and power, because apart from these, they no longer have the courage to face a more turbulent and magnificent life.
"Thank you, Mr. Lei. I'm young and don't have such a bad temper. I don't need to calm down or anything like that."
Wen Liang looked at Zhu Zixuan who was chasing the snowflakes, and thought secretly: The woman in this world who can make me angry may not have been born yet.
When leaving, Zhu Zixuan stayed behind. She used the excuse that she wanted to go buy some equipment with Wen Liang, otherwise she might fall down and never come back when she reached the slippery place like Longqing Gorge. Lei Fang looked at Wen Liang with sympathy, and drove away without any loyalty. However, Fan Bo was robbed of his Mercedes-Benz by Wen Liang, who was also disloyal, so he had to take a taxi back to the company.
A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Fan Bo sighed to the sky, but when he looked down and saw the clothes worth 30,000 yuan in his hand, he was still trembling with excitement. Once upon a time, I had to pick my fingernails for three months to eat a three-yuan pancake with mutton. Who would have thought that today? (To be continued.
