"Lei Lei, Lei Lei, are you alright?" Xiao Li who had rushed over immediately helped him up.
The location of the Fragrant Hall was in the business district, and since it was the peak hours of the day, there was an endless stream of people walking past.
All the people that came and went looked at Zhang Lei strangely, and there were even a few aunts in the crowd who were pointing and talking at Zhang Lei.
"Pah!" Zhang Lei, who was supported by Xiao Li, immediately slapped his across the face. If not for her, there would not have been so much trouble.
Xiao Li was also stunned by Zhang Lei's slap. She covered her face and burst into tears.
Zhang Lei was the apple of their eyes ever since he was young. Even when he had grown up, with his mother's power and influence, even the government executives would be respectful to him. How could they have possibly received such treatment?
"Lehman, I will remember this debt!" Zhang Lei bellowed, he did not know who the lady beside Lei Ming was, and could only blame it on Lei Ming.
After shouting, Zhang Lei lowered his head and quickly left, afraid that others would recognize him.
And Xiao Li also quickly followed up as well.
CHAPTER 17 - BALD PHAGE
Inside the Fragrant Hall, the Manager Liu looked nervously at Chen Lili, and said respectfully: "Lady Chen, are you satisfied with the results of such a treatment?"
"Yes." Chen Lili nodded, and continued to sip the red wine.
"That Lady Chen, the Wu Tong …" Manager Liu did not continue. He believed that she would understand his meaning.
"This time, forget it. If I find out that there is a next time, you don't have to do it from this position." Chen Lili said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, yes. I can guarantee that there won't be a next time." Receiving Chen Lili's reply, Manager Liu heaved a sigh of relief.
"Alright, you can go back to your work now." Chen Lili said as she swirled the wine cup in her hand without a care.
"Yes, Lady Chen, I'll go back to my work first. I'll treat you to dinner!" Manager Liu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
With that, the Manager Liu turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Manager Liu had just started to move, when Chen Lili spoke once again.
Manager Liu was secretly complaining in his heart, afraid that this big shot would go back on his words, but he did not dare show it on his face. He quickly turned around, "I wonder what else does Lady Chen have to say?"
"Give me that gold card." Chen Lili pointed to the gold card in Manager Liu's hand.
Manager Liu quickly handed over the gold card in his hand and then left.
"What kind of card is this? Why is that fatty so afraid of you? " After the Manager Liu left, Lei Ming took Chen Lili's diamond card and asked.
"The Fragrant Hall is a business of the Xiang Guo Group." Chen Lili suddenly said something that greatly surprised Lei Ming.
"Fragrant Hall is a business of the Xiang Guo Group? Xiang Guo Group isn't mainly used for health care? " Lei Ming asked doubtfully.
"You can even say that it's the main point." Chen Lili rolled her eyes at Lei Ming, "It's useless to tell you now, you'll know in the future."
After pausing for a moment, Chen Lili continued: "This golden card is for you. In the future, it'll be more convenient to come to Fragrant Hall."
"For me?" Just now, he had heard from Zhang Lei that this card would need to be spent at least a million dollars a year in the Fragrant Hall to hold.
"Yes." You are a Technical Advisor of our Xiang Guo Group, so at least you won't lose your identity like this. " Chen Lili said as a matter of fact.
Hearing that, Lei Ming did not put on airs, and directly accepted it. After all, the truth was as Chen Lili said.
Being disturbed by Zhang Lei, Lei Ming lost all interest in eating, he ate a few mouthfuls, and then was about to leave. As for Chen Lili, she did not care about that, she had already eaten her fill.
Seeing the dissatisfaction in Lei Ming's eyes, Manager Liu couldn't help but secretly complain. He had just seen it, Chen Lili had actually given that gold card to that unassuming man, and in his heart, he had paid his respects to all eighteen generations of Zhang Lei's ancestors.
After seeing Zhang Lei and Yue Yang out apologetically, the Manager Liu heaved a sigh of relief. He silently cursed himself for being so blind, and almost offended everyone in Headquarters.
Lei Ming used to hate himself for not having power and influence, if not for that, he wouldn't have been humiliated by Zhang Lei. If it wasn't for Chen Lili, he would definitely be humiliated this time.
Now that he had that APP software, Lehman believed that he would definitely be able to squeeze into the circle of those in the upper echelons of the sea of clouds!
By the time the two of them exited the city gates, the sky had already darkened.
"Where to? I'll send you off. " Lei Ming laughed with difficulty and asked Chen Lili who was beside him.
"It's so late, time to go home." Chen Lili nodded, "Let's go to the garden area."
Hearing that, Lei Ming was stunned, this garden area was also famous in the sea of clouds for the villa area, it seems that Chen Lili was a typical rich lady, she could not help but keep that thought in her heart.
Along the way, the two of them remained silent.
"That was your predecessor?" After a while, Chen Lili was the first to break the silence.
"Yes." Lei Ming shrugged and replied sorrowfully.
"Are you okay?" Chen Lili saw that Lei Ming was not in a good mood, and asked weakly: "Did I overdo it?"
"It's fine, I still think you haven't done enough." Lei Ming raised his eyebrows. Naturally, he could feel Chen Lili's concern and revealed a few large white teeth as he smiled.
"It's good that you're fine." Chen Lili heaved a sigh of relief.
"Why are you so concerned about me? Could it be that you've fallen for me? "Although I know that I am handsome, but strictly speaking, we have only met three times. Isn't that a bit too fast?" Lei Ming pretended to be frivolous and looked at Chen Lili.
"You're thinking too much." Chen Lili rolled her eyes at Lehman, "I was just worried that because of this matter, you wouldn't be able to focus on getting the Hundred Flowers Pill and that would be the end of it."
"You hurt me and even laughed it off. The one you love is greed, and the one you love is cowardice." Lehman's expression was very sorrowful as he laughed it off.
"Hehehehe" Chen Lili was amused by Lei Ming's wronged look and burst out laughing.
"A true, pure love should be one where you trust each other, where there is no suspicion, no quarrel, and where you can remain calm after your passion." A moment later, a look of confusion appeared in Chen Lili's eyes, "It doesn't have to be forever at the end, but in the future, when you think about it again, you will be able to smile. This is true love."
"It seems that you are also someone with a story." Hearing this, Lei Ming faintly smiled, and the pain in his heart had been washed away by quite a bit.
"Me? What story can there be? " Chen Lili laughed at herself, "He's over twenty years old, and hasn't even had a single relationship before, where did all these stories come from?"
"It can't be? No one chased after you in college? " Lehman was somewhat shocked.
"After entering university and staying by Wu Tong's side for four years, how could I possibly think that much?" The corner of Chen Lili's mouth raised into a smile, as if he was reminiscing about his university life.
"You and Wu Tong are classmates in university?" Lehman asked.
"Yeah, in my second year in Wu Tong, I started helping her father manage the company. I was my dorm mate with him, so slowly, I also started to help him." Chen Lili laughed, "Don't underestimate Wu Tong. At that time, when you accepted him, you had already started to decline, and in less than five years, Xiang Guo Group had already become one of the top enterprises in the entire Cloud
Sea."
Chen Lili's eyes revealed a tinge of worship, and a tinge of indescribable emotions. Seeing that, Lei Ming raised his eyebrows, and asked half-jokingly: "You don't like Wu Tong do you?"
"I …" Chen Lili panicked and turned around, "What does it have to do with you, drive your car properly!"
As someone who had experienced many things, how could Lehman not know what Chen Lili's expression meant? Her heart was filled with shock, this girl was actually Lily! This body, this appearance, this face, it was actually Lily! What a waste! Shameful!
"It's fine, I'll support you!" Although he wanted to, Lehman was not stupid enough to show it.
"Hehe," Chen Lili saw that Lei Ming had confirmed it, but did not explain, his eyes became misty, "What's the use of supporting me, I've followed Cai Ling for more than five years already, if we don't work together, I'm afraid Cai Ling would not even treat me nicely."
He did not know what to say, since he did not understand Wu Cailing at all.
The inside of the Seven Incense Carriage fell into silence once again. However, it was as if the two people's souls had become a lot closer to each other.
Very quickly, they arrived at the garden area. When Chen Lili got off the carriage, Lei Ming leaned out of the window and laughed: "Why didn't you invite me up for a cup of tea?"
"I ask you, do you dare to go up?" Chen Lili said with a fake smile.
Although Chen Lili was smiling as she spoke, Lei Ming felt a cold breeze blow by from her neck. She immediately retracted her head and stretched out her hand: "Fine, I'll go first, see you tomorrow."
As Lei Ming's voice fell, the Seven Incense Carriage sped up and instantly disappeared from Chen Lili's line of sight.
After leaving the garden area, Lehman felt a series of rumbling sounds from his stomach. It was also because he only knew about the situation when he was at Zhang Lei's side, that Lehman did not eat much.
He didn't feel anything when he was with Chen Lili, but once he relaxed, his stomach immediately dropped.
He looked around. Not only was there no place to eat supper, there wasn't even a small shop. Lehman really didn't understand why these rich people didn't even have a shop here. Did they not even need to buy daily necessities?
Helpless, he could only starve as he drove back to his hotel. After putting away the seven-spiced car, he walked out of the parking lot and found a barbeque shop to sit in.
To be honest, even without Zhang Lei, Lei Ming would not have been able to eat his fill. It was not that the food in Wen Xuan was not tasty, but it was just that Lei Ming was not used to western cuisine at all.
Just as Lei Ming sat down, a beer girl walked over and asked, "Sir, do you want a drink?"
Lehman felt that this voice was somewhat familiar. Turning his head, he was immediately shocked.
This beer girl was none other than the Qi Yun who disliked her in the afternoon!
When Qi Yun saw that it was Lei Ming, she was startled as well, "Why is it you?"
"Why not me?" Lei Ming smirked, "I didn't expect you to sell beer part-time. Tsk tsk tsk …"
"Humph!" Qi Yun snorted coldly, turned and left.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? No matter what, we're colleagues from now on, so you don't have to be so cold, right?" Lei Ming grabbed onto Qi Yun's hand, preventing her from leaving.
Lei Ming did not care about Qi Yun's harsh words in the afternoon. After all, from a different angle, Lei Ming's attitude would probably not be any better than Qi Yun's.
"Release!" Qi Yun frowned, she ignored Lei Ming's hand, and after finishing her piece, she prepared to leave.
"Hey, bring me three bottles of beer. It's cold." How can you eat barbecue without cold beer?
Hearing Lei Ming's words, Qi Yun's footsteps paused for a moment, then he left.
Although Qi Yun hated Lei Ming a little, but she still gave Lei Ming three bottles of beer in the end.
Seeing that Qi Yun was ignoring him, Lei Ming did not bother anymore and picked up his beer and started drinking.
After a while, the barbecue also arrived. Compared to the western cuisine, there were not many rules for eating the barbecue. Although Lehman was just one person, he ate quite happily.
It was only around ten o'clock and there weren't many people in the barbeque store. Including Lehman, there were only three customers altogether.
"Boss, get us 20 kebabs, 10 kebabs, 10 leeks, and two boxes of beer." Not long later, a loud voice could be heard from the entrance of the shop.
Lei Ming raised his head and looked up. He saw more than ten colourful little hoodlums with dyed hair standing at the entrance of the shop, and their leader was a big bald man. It was as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know that he was a hoodlum, so his upper body was naked, revealing a wolf head that occupied half of his chest.
"Brother Hui, why are you here? Hurry, please come in." Upon seeing the baldy, the boss hurriedly took two steps forward to welcome him.
Lei Ming shook his head when he saw this. In this society, there was a lot of people who bullied the weak and feared the strong. However, this matter was none of his business.
CHAPTER 18 - TRANSFORMING TO SAVE THE BEAUTY
"Yo, a beauty is quite pretty. I've never seen her before, but she's a newcomer?" Just as Lei Ming lowered his head, the bald man's voice sounded again.
Raising his head to look, the bald headed big guy was pulling Qi Yun's hand, his eyes sizing up Qi Yun, from time to time a lustful look flashed past in the depths of his eyes.
"Let go!" Qi Yun struggled.
"Beauty, don't be in such a hurry. Come drink with me. I'll let you go after you drink." The bald man laughed slyly and indicated with his eyes for his little brother to pour him a cup of wine. He then placed it in front of Qi Yun.
Qi Yun did not want to cause trouble, so she could only raise her cup and drink in one gulp. Her small face immediately flushed red.
"Good! Beautiful women have good alcohol tolerance!" The bald man suddenly shouted.
"Can you let go now?" Qi Yun said coldly.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Come, come, have another cup!" The bald man was unwilling to let Qi Yun go so easily. He poured another cup for Qi Yun, telling her to finish it.
"Fuck you!" Qi Yun swore, raised his wine cup and poured it towards the big bald man.
The bald brute had never thought that Qi Yun would be so spicy, her entire body directly being drenched. Beer flowed down from his face, making him appear abnormally miserable.
"Pah!" With a sound, the bald brute slapped the table, and angrily stood up. His right hand grabbed hold of Qi Yun's hand and exerted a little strength, "Bitch, you gave me a face, but not a face."
"Mn." Qi Yun frowned, but did not shout out. If one looked carefully, they would discover that Qi Yun's eyes were filled with tears.
"Brother Hui, Brother Hui, you are a magnanimous man, there is no need to make things difficult for such a little girl." Hearing the argument, the boss also walked out from behind.
"What the fuck is that!?" Do you still need to care about Brother Hui's work? "Do you believe that I will shut your fucking shop down tomorrow?" Before the bald man could say anything, a yellow-haired man beside him scolded him.
"Yes, yes, yes. Yellow-hair bro is right, I'm not …" The boss panicked.
"Pah!" With a crisp sound, the bald man threw out a slap, "Fuck you, old thing. If you keep on blabbering like that, I'll smash your shop to smithereens right now!"
"Sigh …" The shop owner shrunk his body, his eyes filled with fear. He forgot to look at the big guy. With a sigh, he turned around and went back to the kitchen of the barbeque shop.
At this moment, everyone in the barbeque shop was attracted by the argument. The customers at the two tables hurriedly paid the bill and left the area.
Lehman was rather calm as he drank his beer and ate his barbecue. He wasn't worried at all. If something really happened, he would just have to spend 10,000 points to transform. In any case, he had on
ly earned 200,000 points …
"Boss!" Qi Yun started to panic. She had initially been calm, thinking that the boss would not ignore her.
"Beauty, you are so beautiful, I will definitely make you want to die!" The bald man's face showed an indescribable expression.
"Brother Hui, can you let us have it after you're done?" The yellow-hair quickly said, but the vulgarity in his tone was self-evident.
"Ha ha-ha, once I'm done enjoying myself, you guys will be able to play!" The bald man laughed sinisterly, and reached out his hand to touch Qi Yun's face.
However, just as the bald man's hand was about to reach him, a hand suddenly appeared from the side and grabbed his hand. At the same time, a rough voice sounded, "Let her go!"
Lei Ming thought that he was not a good person, but he was definitely not a bad person either. If he had encountered such a situation in the past, perhaps he would choose to pay the bill and leave like the others.
Not to mention those who did not know Qi Yun, even for Lei Ming who possessed the power to transform, he would immediately make his move! He would never be vague.
That's right, the one who dared to stop the bald big man was Lei Ming.
The bullies only saw a blur before their eyes as Lehman appeared beside the bald man. He even grabbed the bald man's wrist with one hand.
The bald man was scared stiff by Lei Ming's bloodshot eyes and stood there, not daring to say a word.
"Holy shit, you little brat, you don't want to live anymore, do you?" Hurry up and let go of Hui Ku! " Yellow-hair was standing behind Lehman, so he didn't notice Lehman's eyes. When he saw his boss being pinched, he shouted angrily.
"Hmm?" Lei Ming turned around and looked at the yellow-hair with disdain, "What? You have an objection?"
"What the f * ck!" The moment yellow-hair saw Lei Ming's eyes, he jumped in fright. He couldn't help but take a step back. "No, I have no objections."
Lehman turned around and looked at the bald man, coldly saying, "What? Didn't you hear what I said? Still not releasing her? "
"Bam!" Yellow-hair picked up the bottle of wine from the table and knocked it on Lehman's head.
