If Miss Li Found Out, Wouldn't She Be Jealous?
Welcome to "I've Been Trapped in the Same Post for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Wang Xiaomo and author Sang Ze.
Along the Lao He, a paved road leads directly to the Villa's main gate. Wu Chenyu and Zhuang Xiaodie were walking inside when the Villa's main gate opened. A beautiful woman with an outstanding temperament opened the door.
Tao Manying, that's her.
Zhuang Xiaodie almost cried out, a normal reaction when meeting a big star, but he controlled his emotions and didn't actually shout. He was a little excited.
Mr. Wu Tao Manying, dressed in a formal black evening gown and adorned with jewelry, came out to greet Wu Chen.
He greeted Wu Chen first, then quickly walked a few steps down the steps in his high heels and shook hands with Wu Chen.
Miss Tao smiled faintly and shook hands with Tao Manying; it was the first time the two had met.
Tao Manying is a well-known celebrity, so everyone knows her. But Tao Manying also knows Wu Chen; she had seen his photos beforehand. Mr. Wu, please come in.
Tao Manying shook hands with Wu Chen with a dignified yet warm demeanor and invited him inside to talk. At the same time, she glanced at Zhuang Xiaodie, who was holding Wu Chen 'Wu Chen arm, and a hint of something was off flashed across her face.
He knew that Wu Chen was the boyfriend of Li Ruobing, the eldest granddaughter of the Li Family Heir, so he couldn't figure out who the girl asking Wu Chen about his seclusion was.
Li Ruobing's boyfriend dares to have a mistress and even dares to bring her out to meet his friends. He's incredibly bold!
Upon entering the Villa, one is struck by its opulent and luxurious decor. The Villa, double-height living room exudes extravagance and grandeur.
As far as Wu Chen knew, Lei Cheng bought this Villa 8 years ago. It was a second-hand property. After buying it, he completely tore down the original decoration and spent 30 million yuan to renovate it into what it is now.
Wu Chenyu and Zhuang Xiaodie paused briefly in the living room, looked around, and then continued walking in. They could see the nanny placing a plate of washed and cut fruit on the coffee table, and several bodyguards were scattered around different windows looking out.
Because the living room was so huge, even with all these people in it, it still felt incredibly spacious and empty.
Mr. Wu, please have Tao Manying come to the sofa, and please have Wu Chen come over there as well.
Wu Chen and Zhuang Xiaodie reached the sofa, and Wu Chen asked with a smile, "Where's Brother Lei?"
Where is he?
My godfather is upstairs. He just received a phone call and will be down in a bit.
Tao Manying explained with a smile.
Wu Chen and Zhuang Xiaodie both sat down.
Mr. Wu, please have a seat. I'll make you some tea.
Tao Manying turned to leave as she spoke.
No need for that.
Wu Chen smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all, you are a distinguished guest."
Tao Manying replied that she was going to make tea, as there was a nanny available.
However, Tao Manying still personally brewed the tea. This was something Lei Chen had instructed her to do. It wasn't that Lei Chen specifically told her to brew the tea herself, but rather that he had specifically told her that Wu Chen was coming to her house today as a distinguished guest.
In just two minutes, Tao Manying had brewed the tea and brought over a small tray with four cups of tea.
He placed the tray on the coffee table, handed a cup to Wu Chen, and smiled at Wu Chen, saying, "Mr. Wu, please have some tea, thank you."
Wu Chen adjusted the teacup and said, "Miss, please have some tea."
Tao Manying handed another cup to Zhuang Xiaodie. "Thank you, Miss Tao."
Zhuang Xiaodie quickly thanked her and reached out to accept the gift, but Tao Manying immediately reminded her to be careful as it would be hot.
Zhuang Xiaojie felt truly flattered. He was just a student, a girl who had been given to Wu Chen as his lover, while Tao Manying was the most popular superstar in recent years. It was hard to describe the feeling of such a big star personally pouring him tea. He felt as if he were in a dream, and he also felt a sense of wonder at how wonderful life could be.
Zhuang Xiaodi could easily tell that Tao Manying's attitude stemmed from the fact that Wu Chen was very important and special.
Wu Chenyu and Tao Manying's godfather is a friend, and his godfather Zhuang Xiaodie naturally imagined a scenario where the godfather is a sugar daddy promoting a female star.
This time, his assumptions were correct.
After placing the other two cups of tea, Tao Manying sat down opposite Zhuang Xiaodie.
A cup of tea and an empty seat next to him naturally belonged to Lei Cheng.
Mr. Wu, you are so young! I always hear my godfather talking about you.
Tao Manying then struck up a conversation with Wu Chen. Before Lei Cheng arrived, he had to take good care of his guest and avoid any awkward silences.
Anyone who can reach his level in the entertainment industry is naturally very talkative.
Wu Chen then chatted briefly with Tao Manying, exchanging a few polite words before bringing up the topic of endorsements.
Tao Manying returned to the East Sea three days ago. Bai Tie has been spending most of his time with Li Ruobing shooting commercials and promotional materials these past few days, except for today, because Li Ruobing didn't go to the company today.
How did the filming of the Brilliant Colors advertisement go?
Wu Chen asked with a smile.
Everything went smoothly; Miss Li took good care of me.
Tao Manying said.
This statement shows that they adopted a very humble attitude. It was Wu Chenyu and Tao Manying who did most of the talking, while Zhuang Xiaodi didn't dare to speak casually and didn't know what to say. He was starting to feel a little confused.
Wu Chen hadn't told him anything beforehand, so he didn't know Wu Chen was coming to see a friend who seemed to be a very important person. Why was Wu Chen bringing him along? And why was Tao Manying there? It seemed like something big was about to happen, so he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Zhuang Xiaodie still hadn't figured out why Wu Chen had brought him along. After chatting for a few minutes, she said, "Alright, alright, I don't want to talk to you about this anymore. It's none of your business. Let's leave it at that."
A man's voice rang out from the second-floor stairwell; it was naturally Lei Cheng.
Hearing the conversation, everyone turned to look and saw Lei Cheng, dressed in pajamas and slippers, talking on the phone as he walked down the stairs.
After finishing his call in the stairwell, he hung up. "My brother's here! "Lei Cheng came downstairs into the living room and burst into hearty laughter.
They walked quickly to the coffee table, where everyone stood up. Wu Chen shook hands with Lei Chen, and Lei Chen even pulled Wu Chen along. The two bumped shoulders, and Lei Cheng patted Wu Chen on the back, very warmly.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lei Cheng glanced at Zhuang Xiaodie again, then grinned at Wu Chen and asked, "Brother Wu, who is this?"
Shi Zhuang Xiaodie.
Wu Chen introduced her briefly, then smiled and said, "My woman!"
Li Cheng was surprised, but actually quite shaken. With Li Ruobing around, Wu Chen still dared to act recklessly? Was this really Boss Lei?
Wu Chen then introduced Mr. Lei to Zhuang Xiaodie, saying, "Hello."
Zhuang Xiaodi extended his hand naturally, knowing that even if he had a thousand thoughts in his mind, he couldn't easily show them. He couldn't show weakness or embarrass Wu Chen.
Hello, Miss Zhuang. Zhuang!
Haha, Miss Zhuang is so beautiful, Brother Wu is so lucky!
Lei Cheng shook hands with Zhuang Xiaodi and praised her with a big Xiaodi.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group sat down again.
Miss Zhuang, where do you make your fortune?
Lei Cheng sat down and asked again.
The question was rather strange. Zhuang Xiaoli didn't look like someone in business at her age. Lei Cheng wasn't just being polite; he was also testing her, wanting to know what was going on.
Wu Chen came here today to discuss something very important with him.
What's the point of bringing a girl along?
He's still in school.
Wu Chen spoke, smiling at Lei Cheng, implying that the student was a junior in college.
As Wu Chen spoke, he glanced at Zhuang Xiaodie. Tao Manying was studying acting, smiled and asked a question.
Because everyone is watching Zhuang Xiaodie.
Zhuang Xiaodie nodded and said she understood Lei Cheng from the Performing Arts Department a little better.
Oh, so my Manying is considered Miss Zhuang's senior, right? Has Miss Zhuang signed with a company yet?
She's so beautiful, I bet a lot of companies will be vying to sign her.
Lei Cheng grinned.
Company?
When the company was mentioned, Zhuang Xiaodie couldn't help but glance at Wu Chen.
I started a company with Magic City, and the shares are registered in his name.
Wu Chen said with a smile.
Lei Cheng understood something.
Haha, Brother Wu really knows how to take care of people.
Lei Cheng laughed loudly, then changed the subject, half-jokingly winking at Wu Chen, "If Miss Li knew this, she'd probably be jealous."
Haha, it sounds like a joke between acquaintances, but it's actually a test. It's so confusing. With Li Ruobing around, how could he dare to keep a mistress?
He probably doesn't know Li Ruobing's fiercely independent personality, where even a grain of sand is beneath him.
Lei Cheng didn't know whether Wu Chen had hidden Li Ruobing's existence from Zhuang Xiaodie, so he directly tested him in a joking manner.
Indeed, because he could directly determine Zhuang Xiaodie's status with Wu Chen, just like Tao Manying's status with Lei Cheng himself—a girl still in school, studying acting, whose dream was undoubtedly to become an actress and a star.
Wu Chen clearly intends to promote her, to keep a mistress and turn her into a big star, just like Lei Cheng Tao Manying.
Zhuang Xiaodie is Wu Chen's mistress, while Li Ruobing and Wu Chen are in a public relationship. Li Ruobing would never be Wu Chen's mistress, so she wouldn't be afraid to let Zhuang Xiaodie know about Li Ruobing. Zhuang Xiaodie has no right to be jealous. Therefore, it can be concluded that Zhuang Xiaodie knows about Li Ruobing.
East Sea Zhiyao knows Wu Chen and knows who his girlfriend is.
To be honest, Lei Cheng's probing of Wu Chen wasn't malicious, nor did he have any other complicated intentions.
After all, Lei Cheng owed Wu Chen a debt of gratitude, and he was plotting to kill his elder brother, a secret he shared with Wu Chen. This was currently the most important thing for Lei Cheng.
Lei Cheng had already mentioned Ding Ruilong before, saying that he and Wu Chen were close allies and that he meant no harm. He was just curious whether Wu Chen wasn't afraid.
What if Li Ruobing, with her strong and domineering personality, gets found out?
What should we do?
If he breaks up with Li Ruobing, then what's the point of Ding Runlong's whole affair?
Ruobing is fine; she won't be jealous.
Wu Chen looked at Lei Cheng and smiled.
Aren't you jealous?
Still?
Lei Cheng twitched slightly, paused for a moment, then asked with a smile that he wouldn't let him know.
He knows.
Wu Chen laughed, "Xiaodie made lunch for us today."
Lei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked.
He realized that Wu Chen meant that Wu Chen, Li Ruobing, and Zhuang Xiaodie had lunch together today, and that Zhuang Xiaodie had cooked the meal.
Cooking is definitely done at home, at home.
Lei Cheng realized that it was normal for Wu Chen to live with Li Ruobing.
Boyfriend or girlfriend?
Zhuang Xiaodie, who was also Wu Chen's lover, went to his house, and the three of them lived together.
Are you at your brother's house?
Lei Chen looked at Wu Chen, then at Zhuang Xiaodie, his tone very strange.
Tao Manying, standing to the side, also looked rather odd.
Yes.
Wu Chen nodded to Lei Cheng.
My older sister is very good to me.
Zhuang Xiaodie also spoke up, because Lei Chen had come to see him.
Elder sister?
Li Cheng's eyes widened slightly. She was calling her "sister" now; Li Ruobing not only knew her, but also acknowledged her.
Have the order of seniority between the sisters been determined?
Lei Cheng was completely shocked, feeling as if his understanding of Li Ruobin had suddenly collapsed.
From another perspective, the problem isn't actually with Li Ruobing, but with Wu Chen.
Haha, bro, you're awesome! I'm totally impressed!
Hahaha!
Lei Cheng suddenly burst into laughter and gave Wu Chen a thumbs-up.
That's a rather rude remark. Lei Cheng isn't a rude person, but he's been pretending for 10 years, so his speech habits have naturally been affected.
Hahaha!
Li Cheng laughed loudly, but didn't mention Li Ruobing again. He didn't want to delve too deeply into what was going on between Wu Chen and Li Ruobing, as there was no need to offend anyone.
In short, Wu Chen is awesome. Bro, come have some tea.
Lei Cheng invited Wu Chen to have some tea, and then they chatted casually, with the main topic being Zhuang Xiaodie. Lei Cheng asked a couple of questions first and learned that Zhuang Xiaodie be acting in the future, and that she was the second largest shareholder of an entertainment company.
Although he knew that the shares were actually given by Wu Chen, Lei Cheng still joked that next time he saw Zhuang Xiaodie, he couldn't call her Miss Zhuang anymore, he had to call her Boss Zhuang.
Ten minutes later, after finishing their casual conversation, Lei Cheng put down his teacup and looked at Wu Chen, Brother Dao, let's chat in the study.
Cheng Wu Chen smiled and nodded, then the two stood up simultaneously. They needed to go upstairs to discuss the truly important matters; they certainly couldn't talk about them here. There were too many people, Lei Chen's bodyguards were all around, and there was also the nanny. They couldn't let them hear. It wasn't that they didn't trust them; those who worked as nannies in Lei Cheng's Lei Cheng, and the bodyguards who had followed him for many years, naturally had earned his absolute trust. This matter had nothing to do with trust; it was simply that there was no need for others to know. Just like Lei Cheng wouldn't let Tao Manying know, whether he knew or not wouldn't change anything. The decision wasn't his, and it was unnecessary to make him worry.
Please sit with Miss Tao for a while.
As Wu Chen stood up, he gave Zhuang Xiaodie a few instructions.
Da Bao greeted her warmly, and said, "Miss Zhuang, let's chat a bit more and see if we can collaborate in the future."
Lei Cheng also gave Tao Manying some instructions.
Got it, godfather.
Tao Manying replied with a smile.
Wu Chenyu and Lei Cheng went upstairs to the study on the second floor.
The study is very large, decorated in an antique style, and fully equipped with a desk, bookshelves, tea maker, and coffee maker. It is very clean and looks quite impressive overall.
The two brothers entered the study. Lei Cheng closed the study door and invited Wu Chen to sit down. Wu Chen sat down on a sofa chair on one side, while Lei Cheng sat down on the long sofa next to Wu Chen. The two were very close to each other.
Lei You, you called me again this afternoon. The company received a fax from headquarters.
Lei Cheng, wearing Wu Chen's cloak, got straight to the point, mainly discussing two things.
The first thing was that Lei Cheng was suspended from his duties.
He has been in the East Sea for 10 years. From the first day he arrived in the East Sea, he was the chairman and general manager of Donghai Fumao Group. This company is a subsidiary of Hongfa Group in the East Sea. The company belongs to Hongfa Group, not Lei Cheng.
Just after 2 p. m. today, Hongfa Weiye Group sent a fax to its subsidiary, Donghai Fumao Group, announcing the suspension of Lei Cheng and the temporary appointment of Vice General Manager Zhu Haobo to take full responsibility for the company's operations.
Zhu Haobo was Lei You's confidant.
Around the same time, Lei You called Lei Cheng again, using strong language, and warned Lei Cheng not to cause trouble for the family.
The second thing, before discussing this matter, was that Lei Cheng first asked Wu Chen if he knew Hu Xuelin.
Wu Zhen nodded; of course he knew.
Hu Xuelin, male, 45 years old, is the chairman of Donghai Xirui Electronics Co., Ltd.., Ltd.
Xirui Electronics is one of the top 100 enterprises in the East Sea and a non-listed private industrial group. Its main businesses include automobile and motorcycle parts, electronic components, molds, instruments and meters, and metal processing.
Xierui Electronics is one of Hongfa Group's long-term suppliers, with a cooperative relationship that has lasted for more than ten years.
Even before Lei Cheng came to the East Sea, Xirui Electronics had been supplying electronic components to Fumao Group for several years and also cooperated with other factories and subsidiaries of Hongfa Group.
Currently, the overall valuation of Xirui Electronics is around 5 billion yuan, while Hu Xuelin holds a 62% stake, making his net worth over 3 billion yuan.
Hu Xuelin and Hongfa Group are old friends, and Lei Cheng has been in the East Sea for 10 years. Hu Xilin and Lei Cheng are also old friends. They are both in the East Sea, so it is easy for them to visit each other, and they have a very good personal relationship.
The second thing Lei Cheng mentioned was that Hu Xilin called to persuade him. Lei You had spoken to Hu Xilin again, and Hu Xilin then called to persuade Lei Cheng. In fact, Hu Xilin called twice. The first time was around 3 p. m., and the second time was just over 10 minutes ago, when Wu Chen and Zhuang Xiaolian had just arrived. Lei Cheng was on the phone upstairs when Hu Xilin suddenly called him again.
Hu Xilin tried to persuade him and even suggested meeting him in person to discuss the matter.
Both of these things are things Lei You is pushing hard on, not only by putting pressure on Lei Cheng at the company level, but also by having people persuade him, which is also a form of pressure.
Hu Xuelin is not a bad person, but Lei Cheng paused as he considered how to put it.
At the same time, Wu Chen took out his phone and swiped around. He planned to show Lei Cheng a video, the one he had filmed in the bar before. The woman in the video was Hu Xuelin's wife, and the man was Zhu Haobo.
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
