Chapter 298: What do you think?
8: What do you think?
The private room “Listening to the Wind Pavilion” on the fifth floor...
This was the best private room in Moon Water Teahouse. It was located at the corner of the teahouse, facing the street corner and the street on both sides. The decoration in the private room was antique but extremely luxurious. This private room had never been opened to guests and was used by Lei Cheng himself.
Over the years, Lei Cheng met many people and talked about many things in here. Most of the people he met were close friends or people worthy of trust.
Lei Cheng would not meet with unfamiliar people or untrustworthy people here.
But today!
He made an exception!
In the private room, in front of a long tea table with a scene of small bridges and flowing water carved into it, Lei Cheng and Ding Ruilong sat opposite each other. The two of them drank tea. The fragrance of tea was overflowing, and the aroma was lingering. Both of them were excited. Sipping tea with a smile on their faces and chatting “gossip”.
“...I heard that Boss Lei has been living a so-called secluded life in Donghai these years... Is Boss Lei really willing to live like this?” Ding Ruilong held the teacup in his hand, smiling broadly, and there was something in his words.
Ding Ruilong had taken off his coat and put it aside. He was wearing a white shirt, gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was meticulously combed. At first glance, he was full of a gentle and elegant aura.
Lei Cheng was also dressed very formally today, wearing a suit and tie with a large back. Although he was fat, he still had a certain temperament that the clothes brought out!
“Willing? Mr. Ding, do you think I can be willing?” Lei Cheng grinned. Although he looked relaxed, the hand holding the tea cup couldn’t help but tighten. His joints turned slightly white, “What can I do if I don’t give in? Come to think of it, Mr. Ding doesn’t know much about our Lei family. Many things are not... What do I want to do?” I can’t do anything.”
Lei Cheng’s words were a bit pretentious.
He was really “pretending to be sophisticated”!
He was just talking nonsense to Ding Ruilong.
“What do you want, Boss Lei?” Ding Ruilong smiled, picked up the teacup, and gave Lei Cheng a wink. “Tell me, I can help you!”
After that, he took a sip of tea.
Even so, he was looking at Lei Cheng.
“Help me? Hahahaha.” Lei Cheng laughed as he spoke, waved to Ding Ruilong and then said, “Mr. Ding, it’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that my family’s affairs cannot be explained briefly.”
At the same time on the fourth floor, Wu Chen took the stairs at the south end and hurriedly went upstairs. When he reached the fourth floor, he decisively turned around and entered the corridor. He walked along the corridor to the far end and opened the door of the private room on the left.
This private room was medium in size. When Wu Chen walked in, there were already several people in the private room.
They were wearing black suits. They were all Lei Cheng’s confidant bodyguards.
On the long table in the private room, there were several laptops. On the computer screens, all the scenes in the private room of Listening to the Wind Pavilion upstairs were displayed from multiple angles. All the screens were facing Ding Ruilong. Only one screen showed Lei Cheng.
“Mr. Wu.” Seeing Wu Chen enter, several bodyguards nodded and greeted Wu Chen.
As he said that, he looked at Ding Ruilong with a careful look, and then he looked thoughtful. He looked calm and then said, “My eldest daughter... is Manying. The matter of her endorsement was negotiated between me and Miss Li some time ago.”
“I have a friendship with Miss Li. If it is not necessary, I won’t let her down,” when Lei Cheng said this, his expression was a bit “bitter and full of hatred”.
He was serious!
Ding Ruilong could naturally understand his “seriousness”. He understood very well that Lei Cheng wanted to fight back against his elder brother! Lei Cheng wanted to negotiate terms!
“Boss Lei, what do you think the value of endorsements alone is? What is it worth for me... to do for you?” Ding Ruilong adjusted his glasses and asked Lei Cheng.
Speaking of which, the matter of “endorsement” could be big or small, it all depended on how one thought about it.
To put it bluntly, even without Tao Manying, Li Ruobing could have postponed the launch of Symphony Fashion’s new product and find someone else. If she was really serious about spending money and finding someone international superstar abroad, he, Ding Ruilong, wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
If this matter was taken seriously, it was related to the listing plan of Symphony Fashion. As the settlement date of the bet approached, Li Ruobing might not be able to afford it.
In other words, if Tao Manying suddenly canceled her endorsement, or if something went wrong at the press conference, then... it was very likely that Li Ruobing would lose the bet, with no room for maneuver!
However, Ding Ruilong didn’t think Lei Cheng could have such a deep understanding, so this gave him room to negotiate to “lower the price”! He was playing with Lei Cheng’s psychology!
Lei Cheng was silent for a while, thinking and looking at Ding Ruilong. “Let’s not talk about the value of the endorsement, Mr. Ding. I think it should be clear to you! Young Master Ding of the Ding Family! Miss Li, the eldest granddaughter of the Li family. The value of the two of you, for me... there is no one higher or lower!
“I am now on good terms with Miss Li.” Lei Cheng said with a grin, “If I were to really offend my friends for you, offend such a network, and maybe even be retaliated against by that brat Li Ruotai, what do you think... I’d have to be doing that for?”
After Lei Cheng finished speaking, he paused, and before Ding Ruilong could say anything, he added, “In these years in Donghai, I have kept a low profile, never caused trouble, and made some friends. I have lived peacefully for ten years... Li Ruobing and Li Ruotai, I think Mr. Ding knows better than me what their status is in Donghai. You want me offend them?!
“Mr. Ding, it’s not that I, Lei Cheng, don’t give you face. My difficulty... I hope you can understand! I can’t go back home. If I can’t stay in Donghai anymore, will I still be alive?”
Lei Cheng’s words could be said to be extremely straightforward and frank, as well as full of “skills”!
It’s a small matter to endorse, but it’s a big deal to offend someone!
Ding Ruilong looked at Lei Cheng, smiled and picked up the tea cup again.
He took a slow sip.
The two looked at each other.
Ta!
Ding Ruilong put down his teacup and said, “I’ll help you send Lei You to jail or make him have an accident. It’s up to you to decide how he will end up. I can help you no matter how you want him to die! What do you think?”
He said it outright!
It was also filmed!
It was audio and videotaped!
