Xu Lei, wearing pajamas, came out of the bedroom. Outside the door, in the living room, Chen Shuting was quietly drinking tea.
"coming?"
Xu Lei took a big gulp of water, and Chen Shuting looked at her watch and said, "You're quite physically strong."
"Of course, what do you think?"
I was referring to Chengcheng.
Xu Lei didn't say anything.
Xu Lei sat down, took out his phone, pulled up some documents, and said, "Take a look yourself."
As Chen Shuting looked at the documents inside, the more she looked, the more terrified she became.
"How did you manage to get the Peace Development Zone, the construction of highways, and the resettlement of people?"
"I wrote it myself. The villages near Mang Village are impossible to abandon. Li Youtian is a local tyrant there; you don't need to get involved."
Chen Shuting said, "You're worried about me? How could something happen to me, a grown woman like me? I'll take good care of myself."
'Really? Let me ask you, if the villagers disagree, what methods will you use?'
Chen Shuting didn't say anything.
Xu Lei slammed his fist on the table, pointed at Chen Shuting's nose, and roared, "Hit people, intimidate, threaten, or if all else fails, just do what your husband does and have someone kill Li Youtian. That would save you a lot of trouble. Without a leader, you can take over the Mangcun project in no time."
Chen Shuting was so scolded that she dared not speak.
Looking down cautiously at Xu Lei, this was the first time Chen Shuting had ever lowered her head in front of him.
Xu Lei said, "Say something? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Chen Shuting said, "I wouldn't do that."
“I know you won’t, because you’re one of my people, so of course you won’t. But if we don’t do this, Mang Village won’t agree. Don’t expect the collective to listen to your personal ideas.”
Chen Shuting cautiously walked to Xu Lei's side and reached out her hand.
She pinched Xu Lei's arm with her fingers and said, "I'm sorry, don't be angry."
Just like a little kitten.
[Ding, Chen Shuting's taming points +20.]
Xu Lei looked at Chen Shuting and said, "It's normal that you don't understand this matter. I miscalculated one step."
Actually, the incident in Mangcun happened later, but the rapid development of Jinghai brought it forward.
Chen Shuting only knew that it was an ordinary project, but Xu Lei knew the details and that there were many, many pitfalls involved.
Li Youtian was no useless man; he had the ability to be a local tyrant for so long.
Chengcheng, wearing a white shirt, leaned against the door frame, happily eating sunflower seeds.
"Oh my, isn't this the famous Chen Shuting from Jinghai? Why are you acting so timid?"
"I want you to take care of it?"
Chengcheng rolled her eyes at Chen Shuting and said, "I was in charge of the Mangcun project a while ago. I failed to handle it and was scolded by Uncle Tai. After that, the project was shelved."
"It's difficult?"
“Li Youtian wants money, lots of money, otherwise you can’t even start construction. Don’t think about anything else. Li Youtian doesn’t want that place to change. If it changes, he won’t be able to be a local tyrant anymore.”
Chen Shuting instantly understood what Xu Lei meant.
Those people are madmen, utterly madmen, even madder than Xu Jiang and Feng Dazhuang before them.
Even if the police were to go, it would be difficult to handle.
If you're not careful, a group of villagers might surround you, and then it's impossible to control whether you live or die.
Chen Shuting said quietly, "I'm sorry, I really didn't know this was so serious."
"It's normal that you don't know, it's just an information gap. Remember what I said, right here in Jinghai, do the project I gave you, the money can go into your pocket. Remember, the majority should go to you, and the small amount should go to Bai Jiangbo, understand?"
Chengcheng said, "What a clever scheme! You play with someone else's wife, make her husband do all the work for you, and then kick him out when he's no longer useful. You get the wife and the money back at the same time."
Xu Lei coughed. Although his words were a bit vulgar, that was roughly the gist of it.
"Go to Uncle Tai's place later and tell him that I have a project for you, but you can't get away, so you can hand over Mang Village to someone else."
"to whom?"
"Don't worry about it, and don't ask. Uncle Tai will take care of it himself."
Chengcheng's smile faded, and she said seriously, "I'll go with Chen Shuting myself."
"Okay, that's a safer approach."
Chengcheng changed her clothes, tidied her hair, and before leaving, she kissed Xu Lei in front of Chen Shuting.
Xu Lei suddenly understood the fun of ancient emperors: jealousy and rivalry were indeed very interesting.
In the car, Chen Shuting said, "Is that thing really that addictive? You're a grown man, is it really that serious?"
"If you've never been a woman, shut your mouth. What do you know? He's my man. What do you mean by 'that kind of thing'? I love him, so naturally I'm attracted to him."
Chen Shuting was speechless and said, "You are really shameless. I used to regard you as a rival, but now it seems that you are also someone who is tied down by romantic feelings."
"Really? You're that cold-blooded? I'd like to see how you deal with Xu Lei once Xu Lei tames you. I'll be right here in the house watching you."
Chen Shuting ignored Chengcheng's madness.
This woman is actually quite nice in public; she is dignified, elegant, and gentle, giving off the refined charm of a woman from the Jiangnan region.
But when he's alone with himself, especially in front of Xu Lei, he completely disregards all rules.
Regardless of her status as the older sister, and regardless of her own reputation.
Chen Shuting felt as if she wanted to give Xu Lei her whole heart and soul.
Tell Xu Lei, look, my heart is here, I love you very much.
"When are you going to bring your whole family out?"
Chen Shuting said quietly, "It's just business."
"Still being stubborn? Go ahead and be strong, but don't wait until Xu Lei loses interest in you. You'll regret it then. Let me be frank with you: Bai Jiangbo must die, Gao Qiqiang must die, and even Uncle Tai cannot live."
Chen Shuting understood everything.
Those who have harmed Xu Lei will eventually be played to death by Xu Lei's schemes.
Chengcheng handed the phone to Chen Shuting.
"I recorded a video, do you want to watch it?"
P.S.: Please support me, thank you everyone.
Chapter 43 Uncle Tai's Roar (Seeking support, fifth update)
The video was long, and Chen Shuting watched it very attentively.
At first, I was dismissive, then surprised, then incredulous, and finally, I felt it was outrageous.
"Are you two filming a movie over here?"
"He's handsome, isn't he?"
"Get out of here, you're an eyesore. What's there to see?"
"I'm quite curious, when you went to Green Vine with Xu Lei before, you were always in bed with him, but you didn't throw yourself into his arms."
'I'm not you. You may be shameless, but I still have some self-respect. I have children and a family.'
"Yes, yes, you're the best! Does your husband know you're going to kill him?"
“I never said I was going to kill my husband.”
We arrived at Uncle Tai's house.
Chen Shuting stated her purpose directly, saying that the houses in the industrial park had been doing very well, and Xu Lei planned to open a huge shopping mall in Jinghai.
Uncle Tai listened to the scale of the project and sighed, "Kids these days really dare to do things."
"This kind of thing can be left to someone else."
Chen Shuting said, "Xu Lei said that he trusts me. He can't trust others. We are family, so naturally we won't cut corners, but it's hard to say about outsiders."
Uncle Tai nodded and said, "Yes, that's the truth. It's tough on you to withdraw from Mang Village. The people there are quite irritable, so it's really not suitable for you to go. It was my oversight. So, who should go?"
Chen Shuting did not speak.
Chengcheng said, "Uncle Tai, Boss Bai has rarely come to pay his respects to you lately."
Uncle Tai said coldly, "Yes, Boss Bai is now very wealthy and powerful. His club has opened as he wished and is thriving. All the leaders are having a great time. He's a favorite of the leaders now."
Chen Shuting said, "I did say that, but he always said he was too busy."
Uncle Tai laughed heartily and said, "He's a son-in-law after all, not as close to his father-in-law as he is."
Chengcheng said, "Uncle Tai, don't you think it's too slow to just hand it over to one person?"
Uncle Tai's eyes lit up, and he said, "You've got a lot of clever ideas. What's wrong? Is something bothering you lately?"
Chengcheng said, "No way, I've already thought it through. I'll just focus on running my Platinum Clubs and I won't worry about anything else. If those people leave, they leave. Platinum Clubs is all about young people now."
The Emperor Dragon Club is currently the most rampant place for consumption in Jinghai, because there are too many filthy things inside.
The same applies to Bai Jiangbo's side.
Uncle Tai naturally understood Chengcheng's words and said, "Yes, after all, you've been in there once, so it's normal to be more careful and to feel resentful. How about this, you take it back from Mang Village?"
"No, Uncle Tai, I'll just focus on my business and come visit you more often."
Uncle Tai smiled happily and said, "Okay, I understand. Let Xiao Qiang and Xiao Bai come."
Now Chen Shuting understands why Xu Lei specifically sought out Sun Xing.
Adding a piece of imported firewood to the new firewood is the best approach.
Sun Xing's arrival directly ignited the ambitions of Bai Jiangbo and Gao Qiqiang.
Jinghai now has many powerful forces; it's no longer a two-way division of power like before.
It could even be divided into five or six families, and the more it is divided, the more families it becomes.
The less people discover the conspiracy Xu Lei is hiding.
Suddenly, Chen Shuting thought of a woman, Zheng Yihong.
If Zheng Yihong manages to win over Green Vine, then Sun Xing's clubhouse will still belong to Xu Lei, right?
What was going on? Chen Shuting started to feel a cold sweat on her back. Why did she feel that Xu Lei could handle any woman?
Soon, Bai Jiangbo and Gao Qiqiang appeared in front of Uncle Tai at the same time.
Chen Shuting and Chengcheng sat on one side.
Uncle Tai said, "Xiaoting has some things to do on the Mang Village project. Who do you think should take over?"
Gao Qiqiang spoke first: "Godfather, leave this to me, I guarantee I'll complete the task for you."
Bai Jiangbo, who was standing to the side, said, "Uncle Tai, give it to me. After all, I've led projects before, I know it like the back of my hand, and I'm also familiar with some of the leaders, which will make things easier."
The timing and location were both favorable to Bai Jiangbo.
Renhe is on Gao Qiqiang's side.
The "harmony" in this context does not refer to the leader, but rather to Uncle Tai.
Both sides wanted it, and Uncle Tai didn't know who to give it to.
Chengcheng said, "Uncle Tai, how about we have both families work on it together? Whoever wins the bid can take over the project in Mang Village. What do you think?"
Uncle Tai squinted and said, "Yes, it's always been said that the two of you are the bosses of Jinghai, but who is the real boss is unknown. This is also a test of your skills. Remember, don't go too far, understand?"
Bai Jiangbo looked at Gao Qiqiang and sneered.
You, my former underling, dare to challenge me?
Bai Jiangbo turned and left immediately.
