Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

However, they were also very calm inside, and raised many issues without fully considering them.

But it seems they also need to carefully manage everything at hand.

Otherwise, many things may not be clearly discussed in the future.

Even though everyone had figured out the ins and outs of the matter, they still had to consider various personal relationships.

Just as the two of them were still thinking about instructions, Xiao Lan returned with Wang Jianguo.

They were carrying large and small bags, looking very happy.

“Look at these things, they’re so unique. This place is wonderful, I’d love to settle down here.”

Wang Jianguo was very happy. He had met Xu Jiang once before, so he gave Xu Jiang a warm hug when he saw him.

Having finished speaking, and not wanting to disturb her son's rest, she left early.

Wang Jianguo, however, was having a lively discussion with Xu Lei about the unique items they had recently bought.

"I'm taking all of these things. You can take a look when we get back."

As they talked, Wang Jianguo began to recount where Xiaolan had taken him that day and what strange and unusual things they had seen.

Xu Lei was very grateful to Xiao Lan. Without Xiao Lan's help, he would have been unable to manage many things and would have been very anxious.

"I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can't stay here with you guys any longer. I'll be leaving now."

Xu Lei originally wanted to personally escort Gao Qilan back to Gao Qilan, but he knew that Xu Lei had been busy lately.

Too busy to handle it, I declined this kind offer.

“These past few days, I’ve heard from Wang Jianguo and my brother that you’ve been busy with the acquisition.”

So don't bother me too much, just remember to call me if anything comes up.

Wang Jianguo asked the Alliance about the land negotiations as soon as Xu Lei returned.

Xu Lei knew that things couldn't be rushed and had to be done step by step.

Moreover, they haven't really reached an agreement yet; they've just been talking things out.

"They need to think about it for a while, and they haven't given me a specific price yet. In this situation, I should remain still as long as they don't move."

Xu Lei's remarks struck Wang Jianguo as too profound and unfathomable. He didn't quite understand the situation, so he could only nod silently.

"Alright then, just let me know if there's anything I can do for you."

At this point, Xu Lei had a sudden inspiration; perhaps there really was something he needed help with.

And perhaps Jihang could even complete the mission, so his eyes darted around.

Seeing Xu Lei fixate on him, he felt a little worried.

I wonder what kind of bad idea he's plotting this time?

"Maybe you can actually do me a favor. Do you remember the last time I asked you to do it?"

The Taoist priest then instructed you to buy land. This matter should continue; it would be best to buy several houses. The price is negotiable.

After saying that, Xu Lei tossed out another bank card, determined to accomplish big things with small amounts of money.

Wang Jianguo had spent the whole day shopping and was worried about having nothing to do, so he quickly agreed to the offer.

Xiao Qiang nodded slightly, and the next day he dressed up as a Taoist priest as before.

As they strolled around the neighborhood, the older women who came knew in advance why Wang Jianguo had come.

They said they needed to find a haunted house that also balanced the feng shui, so they had a Taoist priest calculate for a day and finally chose Grandma Wang's vacant house.

They even said the house was an inauspicious or inauspicious place, which left Aunt Wang dumbfounded.

Several middle-aged women nearby immediately began to whisper among themselves. Aunt Wang was furious and jumped up, cursing the Taoist priest as a fool.

"You say it's a haunted house, so it is. Let me tell you, I had someone specifically calculate the horrific value of this house when I bought it a few years ago."

Don't think you're the only one in the world who understands feng shui; we're all fools.

We've calculated all of this perfectly clearly; it's definitely not some kind of feng shui that's particularly good. .......

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo immediately pulled out his bank card.

"This is the so-called method: haunted house! I've been searching for so long and finally found it. I'm going to buy it today."

As he was about to hand the bank card to Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang felt extremely awkward.

This house has been listed for a long time without being sold, but now it has finally found a buyer.

But with these conditions being offered, he was truly caught in a dilemma, feeling incredibly frustrated.

"What's going on? How can my house be a haunted house?"

The assassin said something very mysterious at that time.

"The so-called Tao gives rise to language, and the cause and effect of this cause and effect are all present in the world."

These words startled the man so much that he became unsteady on his feet and started gasping for breath.

"Do you want it? It's from our place."

Wang Jianguo and his group took the bait and nodded repeatedly.

"I paid a lot of money to hire this person, and now he only serves me. Stop causing trouble here and go to the side."

Seeing Wang Jianguo's demeanor, these older women were no pushovers either.

These days, they've seen Wang Jianguo wandering around this neighborhood for quite some time.

The fact that he immediately decided to buy the house outright shows that he must be a big shot, or at least someone with money.

The things that attract these wealthy people are often bizarre, yet sometimes surprisingly accurate.

“My nephew used to have to consult a fortune teller before every business transaction he made.”

You know what, that's actually quite accurate. That guy, he doesn't easily show his feng shui to others, otherwise I would have let him check the feng shui of my house too.

He was about to go over and discuss with Xiaoqiang, asking him to come to his house and help him with a fortune telling.

Seeing how enthusiastic these aunties were, he coughed once.

"Don't rush."

The women nodded quickly and lined up on their own initiative.

Xu Lei's trick worked wonders. Seeing this, the women all wanted him to help them check the feng shui of their homes.

This whole day's work completely overwhelmed the neighborhood, and Xu Lei has now gotten Director Li into a huge mess.

Director Li has recently been figuring out how to get Xu Lei to lower the prices he has.

This is the only way to guarantee his profits, but these past few days Director Li has felt somewhat uneasy.

Chapter 259 Slacking Off

Although he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, Li Dahai was overjoyed and had already started planning how to spend the money he was about to receive.

"If we don't fleece Xu Lei now, when will we? He's the richest guy around."

I've already set my sights on Honghai Road. I'll take over a bar there and make it a big success.

Director Li could only sigh helplessly at his son's condition.

"When are you going to do something serious for me? You're always doing these frivolous things."

Director Li's words only fueled Li Dahai's rebellious spirit.

Since their last meeting, Chong Xulei has not shown his face.

So he instructed Xiaoqiang and Wang Jianguo to handle things quickly and efficiently, but Xu Lei never showed up.

Director Li was getting anxious, fearing that Xu Lei might change his mind again, especially since the matter had only been discussed verbally.

It hasn't been truly implemented yet, and Director Li is afraid that this matter will cause even more trouble.

If you end up not getting a single penny, then all your excitement will be for nothing.

Xiao Qiang was also curious because he and Wang Jianguo had been pretending to be superstitious for several days.

Xu Lei's continued inaction made them somewhat afraid.

"I'm afraid that those older women might not believe what we say then, and we'll end up losing out."

"We went through all that trouble, putting together this whole thing, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Xiaoqiang was increasingly confused. What was Xu Lei trying to do? He stayed at home all day, never went to the construction site, and just played games.

Moreover, he only allowed himself to spread rumors, but now that the news has spread, he hasn't done anything about it.

"If I'm too eager, the Li family father and son will tear me apart."

You have no idea, when I first went to negotiate with them, I mentioned that I wanted to acquire them.

Their eyes practically gleamed with greed as they wanted to acquire this land.

They're about to eat me alive, and their son Li Dahai too.

I also had people check on several of my businesses, and I heard that business has been quite slow these past few days. They're probably just waiting for this money to revive them.

As Xu Lei said this, Xiao Qiang and Wang Jianguo both took a deep breath.

I didn't expect to smell so much in this area, and the water was really too murky.

They were afraid that Xu Lei would be disturbed by them.

"These people are no pushovers; I still feel a bit scared when I think about it now."

Are you sure we want to keep waiting here? Otherwise, I'll go and meet him first.

Xiaoqiang and Wang Jianguo's store are working together more and more smoothly. Xu Lei checked the time.

A week has passed, and I guess the father and son's patience has finally run out.

It was only natural for Xu Lei to make a move at this time.

"No need, the time is right, I will go to negotiate with them tomorrow."

Xu Lei smiled slightly and dressed neatly the next day.

The secretary went directly to negotiate, and Xu Lei couldn't let Xiao Qiang and Wang Jianguo show up at this moment.

After all, the two of them are now acting separately, and the results are quite good, as the older women in the neighborhood are spreading rumors about it.

"The feng shui here is really bad. Just think, my old man has been sick a lot these past two years."

Moreover, his son's career has never taken off, which is probably related to this. So they moved here so that it would be more convenient for their grandson to go to school.

Who knew my child's grades would plummet like this? They're always so mischievous; maybe it's because of some evil spirit causing this.

The older women's outfits became increasingly bizarre, and Director Li, having already heard these unhealthy claims, was quite displeased.

"I'm telling you, Aunt Li and Aunt Wang, you're both old people, why do you still believe in this kind of thing?"

Our neighborhood had the most perfect feng shui back then, standing square and upright for so many years.

Nothing bad has happened, not even any supernatural tales, so why are you guys making such a fuss lately?

Don't let these things become increasingly exaggerated and frightening.

After Director Li finished speaking, Aunt Wang pulled him over here and started talking in a strange way.

"It's not that we like to gossip, it's just that a Taoist priest recently came up with some really amazing divination results. Otherwise, we'd like to have your family member checked out too."

Li Dahai was notorious in the community for being difficult and always causing trouble.

It was incredibly frustrating. Although Director Li didn't say anything, everyone in the neighborhood had seen what was going on.

Even though Director Li stubbornly refused to admit it, he simply told them to stay put.

Don't always believe these rumors, but I've already started to have my doubts.

And I also want to ask whether that so-called teacher is real or not.

So he was really worried, because Xu Lei was already waiting for him in his office.

Director Li should adjust his emotions and go meet with Xu Lei first.

This is his real God of Wealth; everything else is just an illusion. Moreover, he noticed that Xu Lei hadn't come these past few days and was afraid that Xu Lei would change his mind.

"But I haven't been looking forward to you for so long."
