"Lei Fang is only seeking wealth. He doesn't care about anyone who can bring him benefits, let alone a woman who is obviously a pawn. He may not care even if his wife is bullied." Ning Xi understood Lei Fang much better than Wen Liang, and said, "But he is a vindictive person. He will definitely remember what happened today. Maybe one day he will use it to settle accounts with you... Ha, it doesn't matter. With your current strength, he can't do anything to you. Don't take it too seriously."
"I'm not worried that he will cause trouble for me," Wen Liang smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this. When will you come back from Mingzhu?"
"Why, you missed me?"
Ning Xi's voice instantly became charming. Wen Liang could even imagine her charming expression on the other end of the phone. He felt itchy in his heart and said, "What do you think? I thought we would have a chance to spend time together at Mingzhu, but who would have thought that the coach would pester you every day, leaving you no time to spend alone time together... I have to tell you the truth, if you fail to fulfill your wifely duties for a long time, you will be sentenced to prison if you are sued in court!"
"Which country's law is this? It's so inhumane?"
Ning Xi questioned with a smile. Wen Liang was about to speak when he heard a slight gasp, as if a small boat broke through the tranquil surface of the water, accompanied by the swaying of the surrounding reeds, which aroused an irresistible wave of emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"Um… "
There was another groan as thin as an orchestra, and Wen Liang finally confirmed what he heard. Although it was common for long-distance lovers to do "PS" in later generations, it was still quite advanced in the era when mobile phones were not yet popular.
"Good brother..."
Wen Liang reacted immediately. The two of them had already had physical contact, but this was the first time they had only heard her voice but not seen her. It was actually very moving. His breathing became heavier as the moan became more and more seductive. Fortunately, he still had some rationality and wailed, "I'm still outside... Be good, wait for me to get in the car..."
Ning Xi burst out laughing, and then burst into laughter. It took a while before she stopped and said, "No more waiting after the deadline!"
Wen Liang could imagine her laughing so hard that she fell to the ground. Three black lines flew across her forehead. She said viciously, "Just wait. Don't fall into my hands. I will make sure you can't get out of bed for three days and three nights!"
"Oh, I'm so scared, come if you can!"
It's no wonder that Wen Liang didn't have the ability to do that, so he had to swallow his anger and hung up the phone. He stepped on the accelerator and sped away towards the dim street lights. When he passed a homeless man's bench, the strong wind caused by the speed of the car blew away paper scraps all over his head, and the man threw a stone at him, almost hitting the rear window.
A woman who has been lonely for a long time is like a wolf, and an unsatisfied man is more ferocious than a tiger!
Jinshi Hotel is located in Quancheng Square in the center of Guanshan City. It is a subsidiary of Jinlong Industrial Group. Wen Liang and Qu Donghai have been close friends for a long time, but this is their first visit. After entering the lobby, he reported Lei Fang's name, and the waiter who had been instructed took him to the private room on the fourth floor, Zhuguang Pavilion. It's interesting to say that there is a Zhuguang Pavilion, and naturally there is a Baoqi Pavilion. Others include Hele, Chengxiang, Fuze, Hehuan, etc. The names are very pleasing, and the business is even better. Just around seven or eight o'clock, it was full. Along the way, from time to time, I saw the well-known people in Guanshan welcoming and seeing off, coming in and out, and I was sincerely happy for Qu Donghai.
When they arrived at Zhuguang Pavilion, Gao Zhan was standing at the door. He was wearing a neat high-end suit and his short haircut made him look particularly energetic. He saw a flash of excitement in Wen Liang's eyes, but he didn't show it. He said respectfully, "Young Master Wen!"
Wen Liang smiled and nodded, without saying anything, he opened the door and walked in. Lei Fang, who had arrived earlier, hurried over and took Wen Liang's hand to sit in the second seat. Shen Xinzhu sat on the other side and saw Wen Liang's gloomy face, and said nothing. Lei Fang acted as a peacemaker and said, "Xinzhu, be obedient and toast Brother Wen."
Shen Xinzhu was like a proud peacock, motionless. Lei Fang's face also turned ugly. Wen Liang stood up with a smile, poured a cup of tea himself, put it in front of Shen Xinzhu, and said, "I'm sorry for offending you during the day, Miss Shen, please don't blame me!"
Shen Xinzhu swept the teacup to the ground with a snap, smashing it to pieces. He said coldly, "Stop being so rude!"
Wen Liang still smiled and said to Lei Fang apologetically, "Brother Lei, it seems that Miss Shen is still angry. How about we skip this meal and get together another day?"
Lei Fang grinned, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Xinzhu's hair, pressing down hard, smashing her forehead heavily on the solid wood round table.
Shen Xinzhu didn't even have time to scream before she passed out from the sudden heavy blow. Lei Fang snorted coldly and let go of her, and her body fell limply to the ground.
"Gao Zhan!"
Gao Zhan came in and saw Shen Xinzhu on the ground with blood all over her head. He didn't look surprised at all. It seemed that this was not the first time he encountered such a situation. Lei Fang wiped his hands with two napkins, threw them on Shen Xinzhu's face, and said lightly: "Drag her out, you can do whatever you want tonight!"
Without saying a word, Gao Zhan took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, deftly wiped the blood off Shen Xinzhu's face, cleaned up the floor, picked up her delicate body, turned around and walked out.
Lei Fang turned around and took Wen Liang to sit down, with a sincere smile on his face, as if the scene just now had never happened, and said: "What have you been busy with recently? It's not easy for my brother to see you. I asked Teacher Fan but he couldn't tell me..."
Seeing Shen Xinzhu being beaten in vain, coupled with Lei Fang's words, one can imagine what the outcome will be. Wen Liang was actually a little uneasy in his heart. This was also the fundamental difference between him and Lei Fang. But then again, in this situation, he had neither the position nor the reason to speak for Shen Xinzhu, and even if he did, it might not be of any use.
"Brother Lei knows that I am still a student, so of course my studies are my priority. The school has been very strict these past few months, so I seldom travel around. If it weren't for the summer vacation, it would probably be difficult for us to meet."
"Haha, that's right!" Lei Fang stopped talking about this topic and handed Wen Liang a beautifully wrapped golden menu, saying, "Order whatever you want. It's my brother's treat today, so don't be polite."
Wen Liang opened the menu and looked at the prices. The cheapest dish was enough for an average person's monthly salary. Qu Donghai made a lot of money. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Lei, am I really rude?"
Lei Fang waved his hand and said, "If I order a few more, will it make me go bankrupt?"
With their wealth, they would never go broke eating, but crying poor is one of the eight essential skills that everyone has. Just after ordering the dishes, Lei Fang sighed and said, "Brother, you know, since Hengsha kicked me out, the business in Beijing has stopped. Almost all of my savings have been invested in Bencao. I have always been lavish, so I am a little short of money... If you have any good connections, don't forget me..."
"No way, if I had a way to make money, I would not forget you, Brother Lei. But now I am also a clay Buddha crossing the river, scratching my head and thinking about where to make some money. To be honest, Brother Lei, the daily expenses of Bencao, Chuangtu, Yishan, Qinghe, Xinxing and tens of thousands of employees are all around this number." Wen Liang stretched out his fingers, crying about poverty as badly as Lei Fang, and said, "You can say that I have been carrying a burden of hundreds of thousands of dollars since I opened my eyes. It's a headache just thinking about it. I'm struggling with how to solve the cost problem!"
Lei Fang was almost choked and could not speak. He knew that Wen Liang was slippery and would not hold back. If he continued to talk around, he might not get to the point until dawn. He said, "Let me get this straight. Sister Xi raised a large sum of money in Beijing some time ago. It seems that she wanted to invest in stocks or something else. I can't remember, but you must have bought a share..."
In order to prepare for this financial crisis, Ning Xi secretly raised 5 billion yuan in Beijing in advance. The purpose was naturally to tie more people to the Ning family's chariot. Not many people knew about this, but Lei Fang was a broker in Sijiu City and had access to all kinds of information. Although he had come to Guanshan now, his foundation was still there, so it was not surprising that he could find out about it.
Ning Xi raised a minimum of 200 million yuan for the shares. As he said, Lei Fang invested his money in Bencao Ruolan. He only had a few million yuan in his hand. He was not qualified to take a bite of such a big cake. However, if he really asked, Ning Xi would not really reject him because of the friendship of many cooperations. But Lei Fang never mentioned this from beginning to end. In essence, he was obviously pessimistic about Ning Xi's decision to hype the financial crisis. This was nothing. Before the economic crisis really broke out, few people could realize this. But compared with those who agreed to invest, Lei Fang's realm was still far behind.
Others were willing to invest because they either got the news through some channels and knew that Chen Longqi had instructed experts from the State Council to study the possibility of a financial crisis. As long as there was a 30% chance, they would take a gamble. Or they used the money to maintain good relations with the Ning faction. Profit or loss was actually not important!
Firstly, Lei Fang was far away from the central government and had no source of information. Secondly, he had no political need for it, so he valued money and was unwilling to gamble easily. The reason why he spoke to Wen Liang again was, of course, because the economic crisis really broke out as expected ten days ago. He had discussed Shangning Hi-Tech with Wen Ning before and knew how quickly people could make money by speculating in the stock market. He immediately became tempted and thought about how he could get involved.
He didn't have the guts or the face to look for Ning Xi, so he found himself. In an instant, Wen Liang figured out the cause and effect of this matter and said with a smile: "Well, I do have a share, but it's just a small part..." (To be continued)
