When Huang Ming returned to Nanzhou, it was already past 7pm. Chen Xing, Chu Rong, and He Li were all waiting for him for dinner. In the evening, there was one more person, his old classmate Zhang Ruoming. Apart from Chu Rong, Chen Xing, Huang Ming, Zhang Ruoming, and He Li were all classmates. At the dinner table, everyone was friendly and laughing.
At noon, Chen Xing said that Huang Ming was a lucky person. It seemed that it was true. Those kidnappers actually helped you release them. He Li looked at Huang Ming and said half-jokingly.
It wasn't that the kidnappers were kind. I guess their purpose was to warn me and make me afraid. They didn't plan to do anything to me, so they just taught me a lesson. Huang Ming shook his head and smiled. But those kidnappers were really f * cked up. They threw me into the mountains and almost made me unable to come back.
How could the kidnappers not be f * cked up? You can't expect them to be kind enough to send you back to your home. Zhang Ruoming interrupted with a smile.
Chen Xing didn't say much. Huang Ming was safe and sound, and Huang Ming had returned. Chen Xing felt a weight lifted from his heart, but he didn't feel happy because of this. The kidnappers were still at large, and in these short three to four days, from what had happened to his friends, Chen Xing was convinced of the situation. Nanzhou City's social security was terrible, terrible to the point where it needed to be vigorously rectified.
Huang Ming, now you don't dare to have any ideas about Jindu Hotel anymore. Chen Xing said.
That wouldn't be the case. The robbers warned me not to touch the Golden Hotel anymore. Did I really listen to them? I grew up being scared. It wasn't something that could be intimidated by just one or two threats. Huang Ming was half serious and half joking. Chen Xing, I feel that the reason why those people let me go so easily in the afternoon might have something to do with you.
Tell me about it. Chen Xing glanced at Huang Ming and signaled him to continue. He also had some analysis on this matter. It would be good to listen to Huang Ming's opinion.
I only need to calculate from the time. You called the police around 12 o 'clock at noon. Then you said that you were worried after returning to the office, so you called the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau to your office and yelled at him. That time should be close to 1 o' clock, right? Not long after you reprimanded the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, those kidnappers decided to let me go. I don't know what time they said they wanted me to be released, but it was about 4 o 'clock in the afternoon when they threw me to the mountain in Xing Hua County.
At that time, I turned on my mobile phone and looked at the time. I remember this very clearly. From the place where I was thrown out of the car to the downtown area of Nanzhou, it took about 3 hours. That is to say, after you reprimanded the deputy director, the kidnappers planned to let me go soon. So I think it was because they knew about my relationship with you that they were afraid and didn't dare to mess around. That's why they decided to let me go quickly. I'm afraid that the kidnappers knew about this news because of the deputy director. You gave him 24 hours to find you, so he must be anxious. With his identity, he must have channels to shout to the underworld. If he said that whoever kidnapped you should quickly release you, otherwise they would have to bear the consequences. I believe those kidnappers would also be afraid. After all, in Nanzhou, there is no reason not to be afraid of a real power figure of the Public Security Bureau.
Huang Ming's analysis was very detailed. Chen Xing nodded secretly and smiled. Your analysis is very similar to mine, but the final result is a little different. In my opinion, after Zhang Qingyang left my office, he almost immediately knew who kidnapped you, and quickly contacted the other party to let you go quickly. I guess Zhang Qingyang and the person behind the kidnapping may know each other.
No … It can't be. Chen Xing, why do you make it sound so unbelievable? Zhang Qingyang is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. He can't be deeply involved with those people in the underworld. Zhang Ruoming was shocked by Chen Xing's words, while Huang Ming nodded thoughtfully. Chen Xing's words were not impossible.
There's nothing impossible. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. At noon, before Zhang Qingyang left, I specifically mentioned the incident at Jindu Hotel. The person who wanted to kidnap Jindu Hotel is very popular in both the underworld and the underworld in Nanzhou City. It's not strange that Zhang Qingyang knows the other party. From the clue I gave him, he quickly confirmed the suspect, so he called the other party. That's why the kidnappers let you go so quickly. From this point of view, not only does the timing match, but it also makes sense.
Yes, I think what Chen Xing said is very reasonable. In my impression, the Public Security Bureau is not a good thing. Most of them are thieves crying thief, and they even fight against the underworld. In my opinion, they are the most evil. Huang Ming said.
You can't beat everyone with one stick. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. There may be a few people in the Public Security Bureau who knowingly break the law, but most people are still good. Chen Xing smiled and looked at Huang Ming.
Okay, then I won't say anymore, lest I beat you with one stick. Huang Ming smiled. After hesitating for a moment, Huang Ming finally mentioned the matter of Jindu Hotel again. Chen Xing, last night, Lu Chenglong came to talk to me. He expressed his willingness to cooperate, and he was very sincere. I invested 100 million yuan and owned 40% of his company's shares. I think he is very willing to cooperate. Last night, he confessed that the market value of the two hotels under the Lu Family's company is estimated to be more than 300 million yuan. He told me that if I didn't believe him, I could check it myself. Hey, he said 100 million yuan for 40% of the shares.
Actually, the Lu Family suffered a big loss. One was a four-star hotel, and the other was a three-star hotel. The market value of more than 300 million yuan was reasonable. However, it was not necessarily that the Lu Family suffered a big loss. If it was under normal circumstances, they would indeed suffer a loss if they exchanged 100 million yuan for 40% of the shares. But he didn't mention the situation that the Lu Family was facing now. The hotel's operation was almost unsustainable, and it would go bankrupt. Just because of this, the hotel's valuation would depreciate a lot. But then again, their hotel's failure was not due to market factors or poor management, but external interference. Therefore, they had to be realistic. In general, the Lu Family suffered a little loss by exchanging 100 million yuan for 40% of the shares, but it was not a big loss. Chen Xing smiled, looked at Huang Ming, and said, "You brat, you still haven't given up. Now you are talking about this again. I think you are tempted.
Chen Xing, you know me well. I am indeed tempted. Otherwise, I would not have mentioned this matter. " Huang Ming smiled and nodded. The key now was where to raise the 100 million yuan. Another point was, after investing in the hotel, could Chen Xing use his own power to solve the current problems of the hotel? If not, then investing in the hotel would only be a loss-making business. Huang Ming was very shrewd.
I say, all you can think about is losses and profits. Why don't you think about whether you'll be kidnapped again? This is just a small lesson. Next time, you might lose your life. " Chen Xing looked at Huang Ming helplessly. "This brat really forgot the pain after the scar healed. He was just kidnapped, and now that he was released, he completely forgot about it."
I believe that such a situation will not happen again. After this time, the people behind the scenes will know that I am a friend of the dignified mayor. They will definitely be afraid and dare not do this again. " Huang Ming smiled.
"I think you are a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. He also quite agreed with Huang Ming's words. After thinking for a while, Chen Xing said, "Come to my office tomorrow."
"Me to your office?" Huang Ming was stunned. Then he smiled and said, "It seems that I will soon become your subordinate."
Chen Xing smiled and did not say why he wanted Huang Ming to go to his office. He changed the topic and said, "If you really want to invest in Jindu Hotel, you have to think of a way to get 100 million yuan."
I'm just fretting over it right now. Huang Ming looked at Chen Xing eagerly, and then looked at He Li and Chu Rong.
"You can't get 100 million yuan even if you sell us." He Li laughed and scolded him.
They didn't leave until 9 o 'clock in the evening. Chen Xing, who had been fooling around with Chu Rong and He Li last night, did not stay in the hotel. Instead, he returned to the dormitory of the Municipal Party Committee.
The next morning, Huang Ming was called to Chen Xing's office at 9: 30. When he came in, Huang Ming saw another person in the office. It was Zhang Qingyang, the Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau.
Huang Ming was stunned when he saw Zhang Qingyang. Zhang Qingyang was also stunned when he saw Huang Ming. He only knew that the person who was kidnapped was Huang Ming, but he didn't know what Huang Ming looked like. When he saw Huang Ming, Zhang Qingyang felt that something was wrong.
"Huang Ming, hurry up and express your gratitude to Director Zhang. Although the robbers released you yesterday, the Public Security Bureau also contributed to it. After Director Zhang went back yesterday, he deployed a large number of police forces to solve the case. It must have given the robbers a lot of psychological pressure, so they let you go. You have to thank Director Zhang." Chen Xing looked at Zhang Qingyang with a faint smile. Rather than praising Zhang Qingyang, his words were more like sarcasm.
"No, no, Mr. Huang came back by himself. The Public Security Bureau dare not say that we have any credit." Hearing Chen Xing's words, Zhang Qingyang felt uncomfortable, but he could only respond with a smile.
"Anyway, I have to thank Director Zhang." Huang Ming thanked Zhang Qingyang.
"Director Zhang, Huang Ming is a very good friend of mine. If he is in Nanzhou City, you have to take care of him. I don't want another kidnapping to happen next time." Chen Xing suddenly changed the topic and looked at Zhang Qingyang.
"No, I don't believe that the robbers have the guts to do it." Zhang Qingyang shook his head, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He was somewhat puzzled. What was Chen Xing trying to do? Huang Ming was his friend. Did he need him, a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, to take care of him?
"Well, it's good to hear Director Zhang's words. I also believe that the robbers will not have the guts to do it again. Don't you think so, Director Zhang?" Chen Xing stared at Zhang Qingyang and smiled.
"Of course not. Although the kidnappers took the initiative to let you go, it does not mean that the Public Security Bureau will let it go. Kidnapping is a criminal offense. The Public Security Bureau will definitely go all out to bring the kidnappers to justice." Zhang Qingyang and Chen Xing looked at each other and said with his head lowered. He could faintly hear the hidden meaning in Chen Xing's words, but he didn't understand the main point.
"Huang Ming, there is nothing else. You can go back first." Chen Xing only let Huang Ming in for a while, and now he waved his hand to let him leave, which made Huang Ming a little stunned. He looked at Chen Xing strangely. Seeing Chen Xing smile at him, Huang Ming suddenly came to his senses. He had already decided to get involved in the matter of Jindu Hotel. Chen Xing was giving him another amulet.
As soon as Huang Ming left, only Chen Xing and Zhang Qingyang were left in the office. Chen Xing motioned for Zhang Qingyang to sit down. Director Zhang, the social security environment in Nanzhou City does not seem to be very ideal. Is the Public Security Bureau going to sit back and watch this situation continue?
Where did Mayor Chen's words come from? Although the public security situation in the city was somewhat inadequate, it was still good on the whole. The occurrence of individual criminal cases and even vicious cases did not mean that the overall public security situation in Nanzhou City was not good. One could not generalize the whole. In any city, even in the capital, no one dared to say that there were no public security cases and criminal cases in their territory. Zhang Qingyang looked up at Chen Xing and said lightly.
Well, then how did Director Zhang explain the consecutive kidnapping cases in the past two days? Chen Xing looked at Zhang Qingyang. It was wrong to generalize the whole, but the fact was that the social security of Nanzhou City did have a serious problem. Did the Public Security Bureau not plan to launch a special rectification campaign?
Mayor Chen, if you wanted to launch a special rectification campaign, it had to be unified by the Political and Legal Committee and approved by Secretary Lv. Zhang Qingyang directly used Lv Defang as a shield.
Chen Xing sneered and looked at Zhang Qingyang for a while. Did this mayor really think that he, the mayor, was easy to bully? Zhang Qingyang also dared to oppose him openly and secretly. Yesterday, Chen Xing was still considering whether Zhang Qingyang was worth roping in. Now, Chen Xing completely cut off this idea.
The office was silent for a while. After a long time, Chen Xing said to Zhang Qingyang, "It's all right. Director Zhang can go back to work.
Okay, then I'll go back first. " Zhang Qingyang nodded and left without hesitation.
After leaving Chen Xing's office, Zhang Qingyang thought about the conversation between him and Chen Xing today. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Putting aside the fact that Huang Ming came to thank him, yesterday, Huang Ming was with He Li and Chu Rong. At that time, when he tried to probe the relationship between Chu Rong and Chen Xing, Chu Rong only said that he didn't know them before. When he first came to Nanzhou, he visited Chen Xing in the name of investment. Just now, when he saw Huang Ming in Chen Xing's office, Zhang Qingyang was busy dealing with Chen Xing and didn't have time to think about this. Now, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Qingyang knew that he was deceived by Chu Rong and others. Moreover, today, Zhang Qingyang also somewhat understood the purpose of Chen Xing asking Huang Ming to come. After thinking about some key points, Zhang Qingyang looked back at Chen Xing's office and couldn't help but curl his lips. Today, he was also schemed against by Chen Xing.
Oh no, Chen Dafei still wants to hit on Chu Rong and He Li. Damn, don't cause me any more trouble. Zhang Qingyang slapped his thigh and hurriedly called Zheng Guangfu.
Old Zheng, Young Master Chen didn't ask you to kidnap those two women again, did he? Don't mess around anymore. Those two women can't be touched. I think they have a close relationship with Mayor Chen. If you touch them, there will be trouble. As soon as the call went through, Zhang Qingyang couldn't wait to give instructions.
Aiya, Chief Zhang, aren't you wronging me again? It's not me who wants to hit on those two women. It's Young Master Chen's idea. Zheng Guangfu almost hit his head against the wall. I'm almost a professional scapegoat.
No matter whose idea it is, even if it's Young Master Chen's idea, he's still asking you to kidnap them. Zhang Qingyang crooked his lips. He didn't feel good in his heart. It should be known that he also likes Chu Rong. At this moment, he didn't dare to have any other thoughts. Unless he could confirm that Chu Rong really has no special relationship with Chen Xing, he wouldn't dare to mess around for the time being.
Alright, I got it. I'll tell Young Master Chen later and tell him that it's you who said it. Zheng Guangfu laughed. Chief Zhang, I was wondering what's going on these two days. Why do I feel that all the people who popped up are people that we can't afford to offend?
It's fine. It's just a coincidence that these three people all have a relationship with Mayor Chen. Everyone was lucky and bumped into them. Zhang Qingyang said helplessly. You haven't seen those two women with your own eyes, right? Heh, no wonder Young Master Chen is also tempted. They're really not bad. Even I'm tempted. I originally wanted to discuss with Young Master Chen that I want the older one and he wants the younger one, but now it's all gone.
Ah, even Chief Zhang praised them. I really want to see them. Zheng Guangfu said in surprise. However, he sneered in his heart. You old pervert, which beautiful woman wouldn't be tempted after seeing them?
Alright, that's it for now. Remember not to touch those two women again. Damn it, these two days have been really rough. It's all because I have to clean up your mess. Zhang Qingyang cursed and hung up the phone.
Deng Qingming knocked on Chen Xing's office door, then walked in and handed an invitation to Chen Xing's desk. Mayor, this is an invitation from the Four Leaf Clover Group.
Oh? Chen Xing was stunned. He took the invitation and flipped through it.
This Four Leaf Clover Group is not bad. Sponsoring more activities like this will also help to enhance the soft power of Nanzhou City. Chen Xing looked at the invitation and couldn't help but smile. The Four Leaf Clover Group invited the National Badminton Team, which had just returned from the Grand Slam in the World Championship, to hold the Four Leaf Clover Cup International Badminton Friendly Tournament in Nanzhou City. At that time, in addition to the National Badminton Team's champion players, more than a dozen internationally renowned badminton players will also be invited to participate in the tournament. Tomorrow night, the Four Leaf Clover Group will host a banquet at the Oriental Hotel under its banner, the National Badminton Team's coach and players, as well as more than a dozen internationally renowned badminton players who came to Nanzhou to participate in the friendly tournament. Provincial and municipal leaders will also be invited to attend.
In the past, Chen Xing only glanced at the invitation casually. This time, he read it seriously. Provincial leaders such as Executive Deputy Governor Guan Zhenming, Deputy Governor Ye Kaiyuan, and Provincial government Deputy Secretary-General Chen Haiyang were confirmed to attend tomorrow night's banquet.
Secretary Deng, do you have any other arrangements for tomorrow night? If you do, then cancel it. Let's go and meet the National Badminton Team's champion players. Chen Xing smiled.
Okay, I'll take a look later. Deng Qingming smiled and nodded. Speaking of which, badminton is still my favorite sport. There are several of my idols in our National Badminton Team. This time, I finally have the opportunity to meet my idols up close. I was afraid that Mayor Chen wouldn't attend tomorrow night's banquet.
Both Governor Guan and Governor Ye are going. How can I not go? Chen Xing smiled and looked at Deng Qingming. You usually don't smile, but I didn't expect you to be a fan. Playing badminton is good for a person who sits in the office for a long time. It can exercise the cervical vertebra and prevent some cervical vertebra diseases.
The main reason is that sometimes I have nothing to do after work. I don't know any other sports except playing badminton. Deng Qingming answered with a smile. Secretary Ge will probably attend tomorrow night. I heard that Secretary Ge likes playing badminton the most. Every few days, he will drag Secretary-General Jia to the Activity Center of the Municipal Party Committee Building to play a few games of badminton.
Is that so? Chen Xing smiled. Speaking of Ge Jian-ming, Chen Xing didn't say anything more. As for the Secretary-General Jia mentioned by Deng Qingming, he was referring to the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Jia Zhengde.
Deng Qingming chatted for a while and left tactfully. Chen Xing weighed the invitation in his hand and put it back on the table. Seeing the words "Four Leaf Clover Group", Chen Xing's first impression was of Zheng Jue, the general manager whose temperament could catch up with that of Zhang Ningning. She was really a stunning beauty. For the first time, Chen Xing admitted that there was a woman who could compete with Zhang Ningning.
Night fell. This year, Nanzhou City, which had vigorously developed the city's night view project, was like a beautiful city that never slept. It was brightly lit. This was a charming seaside city. At night, there were always people playing in the sand and playing in the water on the beach.
Lin Hong stood on the balcony of the second floor of her villa, watching the people playing in the water on the beach not far away and enjoying the sea breeze. This kind of indescribable comfort made people feel relaxed and happy. If it weren't for the troubles in her heart, it would be so comfortable to live in such a villa and stay in such a good position to enjoy the sea breeze and view the sea view.
This villa was bought by Lin Hong from someone else. It was one of the few villas with the best location in the entire peninsula villa area. It had three floors and a total area of more than 500 square meters. Today, it was worth more than 20 million yuan. This area had become the area with the highest housing prices in the city. Back then, when Lin Hong changed hands, she only spent a little more than 5 million yuan. Buying this house could be said to have made a lot of money. At that time, when Lin Hong moved into this villa for the first time, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. This was the first villa she owned and the first visible and tangible personal property of hers.
Lin Hong cried that night. She endured her parents' scolding and slowly let herself degenerate. She willingly became Li Haocheng's lover and became ruthless and indifferent day by day. Why? Wasn't it so that he could live a better life? Wasn't it so that he wouldn't be poor anymore? Wasn't it so that he wouldn't have to worry about not having enough to eat and wear? Wasn't it so that he wouldn't be looked down upon? Wasn't it so that he wouldn't have to pinch his fingers to calculate how much money he had left this month just to eat a good meal? Wasn't it so that he wouldn't have to be teased by others from time to time? Wasn't it so that he wouldn't have to hide in bed and cry at night?
Lin Hong only studied until she graduated from primary school. Her family was poor and had no money to support her education, so she directly dropped out of middle school. Coincidentally, there was a coach in the city's acrobatic troupe in the village. He said that it would be a pity if this girl became a bitch because she was so beautiful and had a good bone structure. He suggested that she should join the acrobatic troupe to practice acrobatics. It just happened that she had not missed the age yet. Hearing this, Lin Hong's parents agreed immediately. Anyway, they didn't need to spend money. The acrobatic troupe provided food and accommodation, and they could send some allowance back home every month. They agreed without thinking.
Practicing acrobatics might have a better future than going out to work. Later, Lin Hong joined the city's acrobatic troupe. She started practicing acrobatics at the age of 12. When she was 15, she started performing with the troupe. When she was 18, Lin Hong performed at a party attended by the city's leaders, she was noticed by Li Haocheng, who was only 33 years old at that time and was the deputy district head of the district. That night, Li Haocheng went to find the head of the city's acrobatic troupe. No one knew what they talked about. The next night, Lin Hong was taken to a suite in a hotel. When she saw Li Haocheng coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, Lin Hong was so scared that her legs turned to jelly. She asked him what he wanted to do.
When Li Haocheng pressed her down on the bed and tore her clothes, Lin Hong, who had just celebrated her 18th birthday a few days ago, struggled to escape. She even bit Li Haocheng's hand and blood flowed out. Li Haocheng slapped her so hard that she saw stars. Lin Hong would remember the memory of that night until she died. She also hated Li Haocheng's guts. She wanted to drink his blood and eat his flesh. However, Li Haocheng was like a devil. He came to her again and again. Every time he left, Li Haocheng would leave hundreds or thousands of yuan on the bed.
For the first time, Lin Hong told herself not to take the money. The money was dirty. If she took the money, she would be completely dirty. She struggled intensely in her mind and her flower-like body was destroyed one after another. Slowly, Lin Hong became confused. If a woman would never forget the first man who turned her from a girl to a woman, then Lin Hong's feelings for Li Haocheng, the man who turned her violently into a woman also went through complicated changes. From hate to no hate, then to confusion. The complicated feelings of love and hate made Lin Hong go crazy.
However, it was undeniable that when Lin Hong completely gave up resistance and took the initiative to cater to Li Haocheng, Lin Hong seemed to have completed the metamorphosis from a chrysalis to a butterfly. She became more and more adapted to this cruel society. She understood the principle that the strong survived and the weak were devoured by others. She had never been educated and didn't know any great principles. She only knew that money could lead a good life. She hated Li Haocheng, but she also couldn't resist the temptation of money. Later, when Lin Hong quit the acrobatic troupe and Li Haocheng helped her to complete the formalities, Lin Hong saw the repulsive face of the troupe leader, who was usually high and mighty, in front of Li Haocheng. This gave Lin Hong a living lesson. If people wanted to live with dignity and status, they either had to have money or power.
As a woman who graduated from primary school, what else could she do except to be Li Haocheng's lover and use Li Haocheng's power to make a fortune? She had no other choice.
Time flew. Nearly ten years had passed in a flash. From the moment when Lin Hong decided to be Li Haocheng's lover, she had never regretted it. Without Li Haocheng, she couldn't live in a villa, drive a luxurious car, and wouldn't have hundreds of millions of savings in the bank. These were the guarantees of material life, and they were all given to her by Li Haocheng.
Lin Hong had never regretted it. If she didn't take this path, perhaps she would be like other sisters now. She had passed the age suitable for performing acrobatics, and she could only withdraw from the troupe and collect a sum of money. She would be no different from those young people who had just stepped into society and didn't know what to do. She would have lost her direction in life and had no other skills to survive. Some lucky girls would find a good husband and get married, and they could enjoy a good life. Some unlucky ones would marry into a bad family and could only suffer. What was even more tragic was that some of them were reduced to begging on the streets.
Last year, Lin Hong met a former sister who was begging on the streets. Lin Hong was driving a car that was worth two to three million, and the other party was wearing wrinkled old clothes. When Lin Hong got out of the car and called out the other party's name, both of them were stunned. She used to be a good sister, but they didn't contact each other anymore. When the two of them met again, both of them were stunned. Lin Hong stuffed all the money in her wallet into the other party's pocket, but the other party refused to take it. Lin Hong didn't say anything and just stuffed the money into the other party's pocket. She got into the car and drove away. Tears flowed down her cheeks. Seeing her, Lin Hong recalled those innocent days. Although they were poor, they were happy.
Now, was she happy? Lin Hong didn't know. She only knew that she didn't regret taking this path. She didn't regret being Li Haocheng's lover. Money wasn't the only thing, but without money, it was really hard to do anything. All these years, what Lin Hong experienced was that only money and power could give her a sense of security. She didn't hate Li Haocheng anymore, but she didn't have any feelings for him either. The hypocrisy on her lips was nothing more than words of love that fit the occasion and couldn't be taken seriously. All she cared about was the power in Li Haocheng's hands.
Not far away, car lights shone in the direction of her villa. Lin Hong squinted her eyes and looked over. She knew that Li Haocheng was coming. At this time, Li Haocheng should be here as well.
As expected, the car entered the courtyard of her villa. Li Haocheng alighted from the car. His neatly combed hair was always black and shiny. He had a briefcase under his armpit. This was Li Haocheng's image all along.
If you don't come in half an hour, I'll close the door. Lin Hong stood on the balcony of the second floor and smiled at Li Haocheng.
If you want to close the door, I'll open it. Li Haocheng smiled. He had the key to Lin Hong's villa.
He walked into the villa in his leather shoes and changed into his special slippers at the entrance. Li Haocheng hummed a tune as he went up to the second floor.
Oh, you really know how to enjoy life. Villa, sea view, champagne. You really know how to enjoy life. Li Haocheng sat down beside Lin Hong.
Life should be enjoyed to the fullest. Don't let the golden goblet face the moon emptily. Weren't you the one who taught me this sentence? Lin Hong rolled her eyes at Li Haocheng.
That's right. It's good to know how to enjoy life. Life should be lived with taste. Li Haocheng nodded. Those who only know how to immerse themselves in earning money and save it desperately are no different from fools.
Those people naturally can't be compared to you. Otherwise, why would they have to work so hard to earn money? You, on the other hand, can make money just by moving your fingers and moving your lips.
Let's not talk about this. Why are you looking for me tonight? Li Haocheng glanced at the other party and lay down comfortably.
How did you know? I didn't say it over the phone. Lin Hong looked at Li Haocheng charmingly.
You don't need to say it. I already knew you had something to say when you called. Li Haocheng smiled proudly. We've been together for almost ten years. I know what it means when you move your face.
Hmph, you're almost like a roundworm in my stomach. Looks like I won't dare to show any expression in front of you in the future. I'll just smile foolishly, lest you know all my secrets. Lin Hong rolled her eyes.
You're afraid of letting me know your secrets? Tell me, what do you not dare to let me know? Hurry up and say it, or I'll do it right here and now. Li Haocheng's face turned serious and pretended to be angry.
What secrets do I not dare to let you know? Hmph, you're still talking about secrets? I don't even have secrets in front of you. You know me better than I do. I don't know why I've met such an enemy in my life. Lin Hong hit Li Haocheng gently in a spoiled manner.
It's your blessing to have met me. Without me, can you have the life you have now? Tell me the truth. Do you regret it? Li Haocheng reclined on the armchair with a satisfied look. The sea breeze gently brushed against his face. It was a little chilly.
To be honest, I hated you at the beginning. I'm not even an adult yet, but you took me so rudely. Later on, I hated you and loved you at the same time. Now, I don't hate you at all. Instead, I can't leave you. Lin Hong said emotionally. A trace of complexity flashed in her eyes.
That's the truth. If you say you didn't hate me at all from the beginning, I don't believe it. Li Haocheng smiled.
You can't wait for others to hate you, right?
Then tell me, do you love me for my power or me as a person?
Of course I love you as a person. I've been with you for ten years. The most precious time of my life has been taken by you. If I don't love you, who else should I love? Lin Hong walked to the back of Li Haocheng and helped to massage his shoulders. Her face was full of mockery. Love? In Lin Hong's dictionary, there was no such word as love.
Hearing Lin Hong's words, Li Haocheng was in a good mood. He smiled and said, What's the matter this time?
It's nothing serious. I just encountered some trouble when I wanted to buy the Jindu Hotel. A businessman from another city appeared out of nowhere. I didn't care about it at first. Last night, I asked someone to kidnap him and teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, that person is a friend of Chen Xing. I heard that Chen Xing called Zhang Qingyang to his office yesterday and got angry. He asked Zhang Qingyang to find the person within 24 hours. If Zhang Qingyang couldn't find the person, he would find trouble with Zhang Qingyang. Zhang Qingyang said so. He hurriedly called me and told me that Chen Xing has a good relationship with that person and asked me to release him. Lin Hong said.
Is there such a thing? Li Haocheng was stunned. His face gradually became serious. Who asked you to act recklessly again? Didn't I tell you not to blackmail and kidnap people? Why didn't you listen to me? Also, don't open that consulting company of yours. Sooner or later, something bad will happen.
He knows that consulting company won't last long. That's why he wants to change his career. Otherwise, why would he want to buy the Jindu Hotel? Lin Hong pursed his lips. Didn't I listen to you at that time? You once said that I'd better stop my company as soon as possible. I listened to you and looked for other ways.
If I quit my company, I can enjoy my life in peace. You have several houses and shops now. Let's not talk about your bank account. I don't know how much money you have, and I don't want to check your bank account. But I think you have a lot of money. Let's not talk about your savings. Just by collecting rent from your houses and shops, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. Why are you thinking about other businesses all day?
I can't stay idle. I want to find something to do. I also hope to have my own career. What I have now is given by you. To put it bluntly, you are supporting me. I hope that when you are old and retired, I will be the one supporting you. I will have money for you to enjoy and do whatever you want.
Even if I retire, do I need you to support me? Li Haocheng shook his head with a smile. But he had to admit that Lin Hong's words were very pleasant to hear. Even if it was a lie, Li Haocheng still felt happy when he heard it.
Lin Hong was showing his sincerity. Lin Hong said unwillingly. Soon, he came back to the topic. Brother Haocheng, tell me what to do now. I'm afraid that the acquisition of the Jindu Hotel will cause trouble. Last night, the foreigner went to see Lu Chenglong. I don't know what they talked about. Originally, I wanted to kidnap the man and ask him carefully. Later, Zhang Qingyang called me, so I just gave him a warning and let him go.
You kidnapped Chen Xing's friend. Now you don't worry about anything happening. You only care about the hotel. I say, you are getting bolder and bolder now. Li Haocheng glanced at Lin Hong.
I have you. With you, I feel at ease. You can always give me a sense of security. Lin Hong said with a smile.
I have to ask Zhang Qingyang about this tomorrow. You are really bold now. If you do this kind of thing on your own in the future, I will teach you a lesson. Li Haocheng's face became serious.
Got it. Why are you scaring me with a straight face? I am still worried about the hotel. You don't help me think of a way. You only know how to teach me a lesson. Lin Hong said with grievance.
How else do you want me to help you? Haven't I helped you enough before? You used administrative means to cause trouble for the Jindu Hotel. If it weren't for my instructions, would the people in the Bureau of Industry and Commerce and the Tax Bureau really listen to your command?
Humph. Let's not talk about this. Anyway, I will not give up on the Jindu Hotel. If I need your help in the future, you can't not help me.
Let's talk about the future in the future. If I can help you, I will help you. What are you talking about? But remember one thing. Don't do anything on your own. Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson. As Li Haocheng spoke, he took out a small medicine bottle from his briefcase. He poured out a small pill and swallowed it. Then, he picked up the red wine on the table and took a sip.
Seeing that Li Haocheng began to take the medicine again, Lin Hong smiled. Come on, I don't think we need to wait for the future. You want to teach me a lesson now.
