The original plan was to return to Haizhu first, but Xia Lei changed his mind temporarily and flew directly to Shu. He stayed in Shudu for two days, inspecting the branch's construction site and handling affairs there. Zhou Xiaohong did a pretty good job, and she had a good relationship with the local people. With Yin Hao's help, there are actually very few things that he, the boss, needs to worry about.
Two days later, Xia Lei returned to Haizhu.
Lu Sheng has been discharged from the hospital and returned to work in the company. When Xia Lei drove to the company, he opened the retractable door for Xia Lei himself. The two chatted for a while.
When he arrived at the office, Xia Lei called Qin Xiang to the office.
Guan Lingshan made a cup of tea for the two of them, "Mr. Xia and Sister Xiang have tea."
Qin Xiang not only didn't mind Guan Lingshan calling him Sister Xiang, but she also looked very happy with a shy smile. Just when Guan Lingshan put the tea cup in front of him, he reached out and wiped it on Guan Lingshan's hand, and a small item in Guan Lingshan's suit jacket was transferred to his hand.
Guan Lingshan didn't notice anything, but Xia Lei saw clearly that Qin Xiang had stolen the aunt's towel that was only used by women.
Qin Xiang seemed to be shocked by what he had stolen. He reached out and threw it into Xia Lei's lap.
Xia Lei seemed to have been electrocuted. He quickly grabbed the pack of towels, then stood up and patted Guan Lingshan on the shoulder, "Lingshan, you have worked hard during this time."
Guan Lingshan adjusted her black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and said shyly, "Mr. Xia, this is what I should do. I'm just afraid I'm not good enough."
While she was speaking, Xia Lei had already secretly put the pack of auntie towels into her pocket.
"Go, go, go and do your business, I'll talk to Qin Xiang." Xia Lei said.
"Well, you guys talk, I'll check the financial statements." Guan Lingshan said.
After Guan Lingshan left, Xia Lei glared at Qin Xiang, "Why are you stealing other people's sanitary napkins?"
Qin Xiang came to Xia Lei's side, "I didn't know, it was just itchy hands for a while." Then, he raised a mobile phone in his hand and said with a smile: "Just like now."
The mobile phone in Qin Xiang's hand is Xia Lei's mobile phone.
Xia Lei smiled and spread out the palm of his left hand. There was a lipstick lying in his palm.
The result of this contest between the two master thieves was that they were evenly matched.
"Let me go, your skills are getting better and better. You really taught the apprentice to starve the master to death." Qin Xiang smiled bitterly. He put the phone in Xia Lei's hand, and then took away the lipstick in Xia Lei's hand. .
Xia Lei said: "Let's talk about business. You can go to Kyoto."
"What are you going to Kyoto for?"
"Build an orphanage, Angel Orphanage." Xia Lei said.
Qin Xiang looked at Xia Lei in surprise, "Are you going to enter the charity world? Most people in this circle want to make political capital. Do you want to take a political route?"
"Fuck you, I'm not interested in anything political or not." Xia Lei said, "You go and build the orphanage. When you finish it, the military factory over there will be almost completed. I need a trustworthy person to be in charge of the military factory. .”
"Don't say anything. I'm going to book the flight ticket now." Qin Xiang turned around and left.
"Wait, why are you in a hurry? Take this plan, otherwise how will you know what orphanage to build?" Xia Lei took out a document bag from his briefcase and handed it to Qin Xiang's hand, and said : "Also, you can take your aunt there. The medical conditions there are good. You can let her recuperate there, and all the expenses will be paid by the company."
Qin Xiang looked at Xia Lei with pulsing eyes, "Boss, I have nothing to repay, so how about I promise you my life?"
Xia Lei's back suddenly numbed and he glared: "Fuck you, I'm not your type. After you go to Kyoto, help me keep an eye on my sister and don't let the bad boy get close to her."
"Understood." Qin Xiang smiled and walked away.
For Qin Xiang, going from a supermarket supervisor to the person in charge of a military factory is almost a step up, and of course he is happy with it. As for Xia Lei, he also needs a completely trustworthy person like Qin Xiang to sit in the military factory and handle the affairs there for him. As for Anina, Xia Lei certainly trusts her, but she is a typical technical talent and is not good at business. Another more important reason is that her identity is too special and she doesn't dare to show her face at all. As the person in charge of a military factory, she must show her face a lot.
After Qin Xiang left, Xia Lei also got into work, dealing with company affairs, holding company management meetings, and listening to their reports. He was very busy.
When he got off work in the afternoon, Xia Lei received a call from Shentu Tianyin.
"You didn't even tell me when you came back." Shentu Tianyin's tone contained a hint of reproach.
Xia Lei said with some embarrassment: "The company has piled up a lot of things for me to deal with, and I am too busy. I actually plan to come over to see you and uncle tomorrow."
Zhuhai is too small, and it is really easy for Shentu Tianyin to obtain information about someone.
"Are you still busy now?"
"I'm done, I just got off work."
"Well, that's great, I want to invite you to my birthday party."
"Your... birthday?" Xia Lei was surprised.
"Well, I'm... another year older this year." Shentu Tianyin said with a smile.
Age is a woman's secret, and even a woman like Shentu Tianyin is no exception.
Xia Lei said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, where are you? I'll be right over."
"Qunying Club." Shentu Tianyin said.
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, "Why are you in that place?"
"You'll know when you get here." Shentu Tianyin did not explain.
"Okay, I'll be right over." Xia Lei hung up the phone, but he was confused.
The Qunying Club is the Gu family's place. How could Shentu Tianyin's birthday party be held there
An hour later Xia Lei drove to the Qunying Club. The parking lot was already filled with luxury cars, and many well-dressed men and women walked into the club in pairs. There are many celebrities, big-name stars in the entertainment industry, and sports stars. There are really a lot of distinguished guests.
Xia Lei got out of the car and held up a bouquet of roses. He saw Shentu Tianyin standing at the door to welcome guests, and he walked over.
He originally wanted to buy a more decent gift, but time was limited, so when he passed by a roadside flower shop, he bought a bouquet of roses. The roses are bright and fresh, but the packaging seems a bit low-end. But he thought it was nothing. A woman like Shentu Tianyin didn't need any gifts. A bouquet of flowers as a blessing would be enough.
Shentu Tianyin also saw Xia Lei, and naturally saw the rose bouquet in Xia Lei's hand. She was stunned for a moment, and then looked overjoyed again.
"Happy birthday." Xia Lei walked up to Shentu Tianyin and handed the bouquet of roses in his hand to Shentu Tianyin.
Shentu Tianyin took a deep breath of the scent of roses and suddenly gave Xia Lei a light hug, "This is the best birthday gift I have ever received."
Xia Lei said awkwardly: "I originally wanted to buy you a skirt or something, but... I ran out of time."
"I just like the rose you gave me." Shentu Tianyin came close to Xia Lei's ear and whispered to him in a small voice, "You won't tell me, you don't know what the rose represents, right?"
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment. Roses represent love, which is common knowledge to elementary school students. When a man gives a woman a rose, it means that he wants to pursue this woman.
Xia Lei looked at Shentu Tianyin who was facing him. She was still so stunningly beautiful, like a fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world. The feeling of seeing her for the first time suddenly came to my heart. At this moment, his mind was in a trance, and he couldn't figure out whether he accidentally bought roses that represented love, or whether he subconsciously wanted to buy roses to express his love to Shentu Tianyin.
However, facing Shentu Tianyin's playful and provocative words, he didn't know what to say.
"Let's go in." Shentu Tianyin knew Xia Lei's character very well. It was already a big improvement for him to give her a rose. She never thought that she would get everything she wanted at once.
Xia Lei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He followed Shentu Tianyin to the club and said, "By the way, why are you holding a birthday party in this place?"
Shentu Tianyin pursed his lips and smiled, "Gu Dingshan disappeared and Gu Kewu was arrested. You don't know about this, right?"
This was all caused by Xia Lei. How could he not know? He said, "I know, but what does this have to do with you having a birthday party here?"
Shentu Tianyin lowered his voice, "The news I got is that you defeated the Gu family, but your reaction was too slow."
"Huh?" Xia Lei said confused: "Why am I slow to react?"
"The Gu family's industries are spread across all walks of life, with tens of billions of assets, many of which are illegally occupied state-owned assets. These assets are seriously undervalued, and many people are staring at them with red eyes, ready to take them at any time. You are defeated. Gu family, but you haven't taken any action in this regard. Why are you slow to react?" Shentu Tianyin asked Xia Lei.
Xia Lei finally realized what Shentu Tianyin meant when he said he was slow to react.
Indeed, most of the Gu family's assets were obtained illegally and their values were seriously underestimated. Now that the Gu family has fallen, these assets are like a huge ownerless cake. It will naturally attract many predators to covet it, ready to attack at any time. But he, the man who defeated the Gu family, didn't make any move. He was really slow to react.
"Aren't you going to take action?"
Xia Lei thought for a moment, "How to take action?"
Shentu Tianyin said: "The Gu family is finished, and many assets will be nationalized. Many of these assets, including companies, will be auctioned, but the assets that can be auctioned at the auction are actually just some useless things left over by others. Big meat can only be snatched in the audience. Let me give you a very simple example. This Qunying Club is Gu Kewu's property. Its actual value is 200 million, but I have already bought it for 50 million."
Xia Lei was shocked. It has only been a few days, and the whereabouts of Gu Dingshan have not yet been found, and Gu Kewu has not yet been sentenced, but the Gu family's assets are already changing owners!
When he was with Shentu Tianyin, Xia Lei suddenly realized that his business acumen and skills were simply not worth mentioning.
