Chengcheng leaned against Xu Lei's shoulder.
"Regarding the Lovers' Street project, I've decided to hand it over to Boss Jiang."
"His abilities in all aspects are far superior to yours. Letting him take on this project is the best outcome."
"What do you think?"

"Xu Lei, what did you say?"
"You clearly promised me that you would give me the Lovers' Street project. How come you suddenly changed your mind after such a short time?"
"And who exactly is this Boss Jiang?"
"You say he's better than me, but is he really better than me?"
"I don't care, I will not agree to your request today, no matter what..."
Chengcheng hadn't finished speaking.
There was a snap.
A large hand brushed across her cheek.
"I told you, you only have the right to listen to me, not the right to disagree!"
"Don't forget, if I don't want to play with you anymore, I can kick you out of Jinghai anytime!"
Xu Lei's expression was icy, his gaze utterly cold.
Upon seeing that indifferent face, Chengcheng covered her left cheek and burst into tears.
"You bastard, Xu Lei!"
"You dare to hit me for the sake of an outsider like him!"
"Okay, good fight!"
"Starting today, I'm not going to serve you anymore!"
"If you're so capable, then kick me out of Jinghai!"
After uttering a few harsh words, Chengcheng ran out of the room crying.
Jiang Tian, who witnessed the entire process, did not utter a single word from beginning to end; he simply sat there quietly smoking.
The way he looked at Xu Lei contained a hint of admiration, but also a trace of disgust!
"How's Mr. Jiang (083) doing?"
"Lovers' Street is now yours for the taking!"
Xu Lei sat down again.
Zhang Long, who was standing to the side, quickly took the money from the corner of the wall and placed it at Xu Lei's feet.
"Even heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman."
"I truly admire Mr. Xu's ability to remain so clear-headed in the face of temptation!"
Jiang Tian stubbed out his cigarette and picked up two glasses of wine from the table.
He kept one cup for himself and handed the other to Xu Lei.
"Since Mr. Xu has been so accommodating today, I must pay the bill tonight!"
"Zhang Long, go find a few men to keep you company while you drink!"
"Remember, it has to be a style that Mr. Xu likes!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lei laughed and extended his right hand toward Jiang Tian.
The two finally shook hands!
at the same time.
Chengcheng ran out of the private room, crying all the way, and many people saw that she had a handprint on her face.
Instead of venting her anger on her subordinates, she ran back to her office.
Crackling!
Hearing the sounds of smashing and breaking coming from inside the house, the men who had come to comfort Chengcheng retreated.
When the boss was in a fit of rage, no one dared to mess with her!
however.
Chengcheng in the office had long since stopped crying.
The ongoing sounds of vandalism and smashing were also something she did intentionally.
She held her phone in her other hand.
The number dialed on the phone was Gao Qiqiang's phone number!
"Hey, Chengcheng, what do you want from me in the middle of the night?"
"Gao Qiqiang, don't say I'm not treating you well. You know that a street near the mall has been blocked off, right?"
"I heard something."
"The official notice hasn't come down yet, but I can tell you in advance that they're planning to build a Lovers' Street there!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Qiqiang's pupils contracted slightly.
Even though he didn't know the real purpose of Lovers' Street, he could already smell the money in the word "couples" alone!
As long as he can successfully take on this project, even if he has nothing to do with Niluo Village in the future, he will still make a profit and his trip will not have been in vain!
But soon, he realized another problem.
Chengcheng is Xu Lei's woman, and Xu Lei couldn't possibly not know that Chengcheng knows this.
With a project that was almost guaranteed to make a fortune right in front of him, Xu Lei didn't take it himself but instead offered it to himself, which was somewhat out of character for him.
"Chengcheng, what exactly does Xu Lei mean? Give me a straight answer, otherwise I definitely won't interfere on Lovers' Street!"
Upon hearing this, Chengcheng immediately gave Xu Lei a thumbs up in her mind.
Everything that happened in the private room earlier, as well as this phone call to Gao Qiqiang, was part of Xu Lei's plan.
Chengcheng hadn't expected that Xu Lei could understand Gao Qiqiang's psychology so clearly beforehand.
They even guessed exactly what he was going to say!
"First, Xu Lei is busy taking over the old town renovation project in Niluo Village and has no time to deal with Lovers' Street."
"Secondly, another wealthy businessman from out of town also knew about this, but Xu Lei was more concerned about you, who grew up in Jinghai, than him."
"Third, and most importantly, Xu Lei is only doing this because of your sister Gao Qilan!"
Chengcheng delivered the prepared statement.
The following events unfolded exactly as Xu Lei had predicted.
Upon hearing his sister's name, Gao Qiqiang instantly dispelled all his concerns and agreed to take on the project. He also asked Chengcheng to thank Xu Lei for his kindness.
"If you want to express your gratitude, then show some sincerity and thank Xu Lei yourself. Don't expect me to relay your message!"
You are not qualified to command me!
After saying that, Chengcheng hung up the phone.
now.
Sitting at home, Gao Qiqiang wasn't angry about the incident. Instead, he hummed a song and drank some wine.
Coincidentally, Zhao Ruilong called at that moment.
"Gao Qiqiang, I've been asked to ask you about the progress of the Niluo Village matter."
"If you lose money, you'd better be prepared to suffer the consequences!"
Gao Qiqiang, in a great mood, did not get angry because of Zhao Ruilong's tone.
"Old Zhao, tell the higher-ups to put their minds at ease!"
"Even if I don't manage to secure the project in Mud Snail Village, I definitely won't lose money this time!"
"Oh? From what you're saying, you've found a new project?"
"That's right, the Lovers' Street project!"
After Gao Qiqiang finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
When the voice came through again, it was no longer Zhao Ruilong's voice, but Lao Fu's.
"Gao Qiqiang, you don't need so many people to build just one street. Send my men back sometime!"
"Old Fu, I know you might be in a hurry right now, but please don't worry! The bidding for the Niluo Village project hasn't even started yet. If I really can't win the bid, I'll send the person back to you later!"
After saying that, Gao Qiqiang hung up the phone, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.
When it comes to lending someone out, once you've lent them out, don't expect to get them back!
Especially since these people were all borrowed by Gao Qiqiang through his own abilities, there is even less reason for him to return them!
"By the way, Chengcheng just told me to express my sincere gratitude to Xu Lei myself."
"Um......"
After pondering for a moment while covering his mouth, Gao Qiqiang's eyes suddenly lit up. "I know! This means Xu Lei wants me to go see him in person!"
"Hahaha, Xu Lei really is a womanizer! Xiao Lan's pillow talk really worked!"

Gao Qiqiang called and invited Xu Lei to his house for dinner tonight.
"Young master, has the fish taken the bait?"
"Ok!"
"Then what happens next?"
"Spread the word that Gao Qiqiang wants to take over the Lovers' Avenue construction project, as I told you beforehand. It would be best if it reached Jiang Tian's ears!"
"Yes, young master, leave this matter to me!"
After Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he moved the chess piece in his hand one step to the right, signaling "Checkmate!"
"Checkmate you!"

Xu Lei pointed at Xiao Qiang's chess piece and laughed, "I already checkmated you when I answered the phone!"
Take a closer look.
Xiao Qiang, realizing he had indeed lost, chuckled sheepishly: "As expected, Young Master is still the best. From now on, let Sister-in-law Shuting handle these kinds of things for you!"
"Young Master, I'm going to spread the word now, bye-bye!"
Watching Xiaoqiang's departing figure, Xu Lei took out his phone and dialed Chengcheng's number.
Although the slap a few days ago was an act to gain Jiang Tian's trust, Chengcheng really ignored Xu Lei for several days because of it.
"Little one, are you still angry?"
"No, I just wanted to go all the way with this act. Otherwise, if Jiang Tian finds out, how will you use him?"
"That's good. I left the five million Jiang Tian gave me at Bai Jinhan's front desk. If you have time, remember to pick it up."
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lei looked at the chessboard in front of him and began to play against himself.
afternoon.
Zhang Long arrived at the hotel in a great hurry.
"Gao Qiqiang?"
"And who is he?"
Jiang Tian frowned.
