Chapter 71 [Another Incident]

Bao Ligui looked gloomy and glanced at Bao Qingfan, "Are you hiding something?"

"Dad, I didn't hide anything. The whole thing is just as I told you last time. I just threatened Li Wendi with those two things. I didn't do anything else." Bao Qingfan explained hurriedly, his face a little pale.

Looking at Bao Qingfan's panicked look, Bao Ligui immediately fell into deep thought. He had underestimated Li Wendi's reaction. However, in his opinion, this was a good thing. The greater Li Wendi's reaction, the more effective the threat was.

After thinking it over again and again, Bao Ligui still felt that it would be a better idea to expose the matter to Chen Fenben. This way, he would have room for negotiation with Li Wendi and could also serve as a warning to Li Wendi. As for the other matter concerning the Deng family, he was not sure how to handle the consequences thereof.

"We can still try to get Li Wendi, but don't put all your hopes on him. Go collect information on other suitable candidates and make sure to complete it within this month." Bao Ligui still believes that Li Wendi is the most suitable candidate for cooperation.

Li Wendi's advantage is that he has a background in the underworld and good interpersonal relationships within the Liansheng society, so he can help solve problems in this area. If necessary, his mother and sister can be used as bargaining chips. Li Wendi is also a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and he has a good business mind.

The Bao family and the Chen family had some business dealings, and they could not be considered old friends, but it was not difficult for Bao Ligui to meet Chen Fenben, so Bao Ligui made an appointment to meet Chen Fenben on the third day.

"Haha!! Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a while." Bao Ligui greeted Chen Fenben with a smile.

Chen Fenben acted very casually and waved his hand, "It has been a while. Now I have handed over the business to my sons and become an idle person."

"Brother Chen, you are really good at raising a son. Unlike me, my son still needs training and I have to work harder now." Bao Ligui flattered.

"You are a few years younger than me and can help the family, but I can't do that." Chen Fenben said with a laugh.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Bao Ligui got down to business. "I heard that Brother Chen, you have some real estate projects in Wan Chai. Is there any chance for cooperation?"

"The business has been handed over to my son. It would be better for you to talk to them. Why don't you go find Xingzhou? He is in charge of this part of the business." Chen Fenben hinted at rejection.

"Okay then, I'll go talk to him. I have a relative who has some business dealings with Xingzhou. If I bring him along, it should be a better time for us to cooperate." Bao Ligui forcibly added the purpose.

"Relative?! Which relative of yours?" After the previous incident of transferring family assets, Chen Fenben immediately became alert. Of course, he also knew that Bao Ligui did it on purpose.

"Brother Chen, you don't know?!" Bao Ligui pretended to be a little surprised and hesitant, and reluctantly said, "It's a junior named Li Wendi."

This name was both familiar and resentful to Chen Fenben. In his impression, this person had corrupted his son, destroyed the balance of the family, and ruined his hard work.

Then, Chen Fenben's face turned gloomy. "What's the name of the company? How do you want to cooperate with us?"

Bao Ligui was overjoyed, but pretended to be a little worried. "It's called Changheng Real Estate. I'm not sure about the cooperation method. Brother Chen, Wendi is still a child. If he has offended you in any way, I apologize to you on his behalf. Please forgive me."

"Hmph! I have something else to do. Let's make an appointment next time." Chen Fenben immediately stood up and left.

Bao Ligui pretended to calm Chen Fenben down from behind and chased after him.

Looking at Chen Fenben's back as he walked away, Bao Ligui said with a cold smile, "Li Wendi, I want to see if you can withstand the Chen family's questioning."

Chen Fenben did not summon Chen Xingzhou immediately, but asked his confidant to confirm the authenticity of the information and find out what the cooperation with Li Wendi was all about.

Li Wendi didn't know about these things, but he was prepared. After all, no one could control the development of things.

mid-March
Li Wendi paid special attention to the Chen family and Changheng Real Estate Company, and finally found some clues. "That person entered the villa of Chen Fenben's family, where Chen Fenben should be living."

Li Wendi waved his hand and asked the person who was reporting the situation to leave. Then he fell into deep thought.

Changheng Real Estate Company is different from the first company. It has no connection with any company under the Chen family. It just relies on Chen Xingzhou's first-hand information in the real estate market to make money by taking advantage of the time difference.

Legally, Li Wendi did nothing wrong, and even morally, but some things are unreasonable.

So at this time, Li Wendi was thinking about whether there were any major loopholes in his preparations, but the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, as if there were loopholes everywhere.

He let out a long sigh. The old businessman Chen Fenben put too much pressure on him. It was like a fight between an adult and a child.

With no other options, Li Wendi could only call Chen Xingzhou and tell him the fact, so that he could be prepared and hope that he could take on some of the pressure for him.

However, Chen Xingzhou's silence dashed Li Wendi's hopes. She felt that Chen Xingzhou was already considering preserving himself rather than working together.

"They are just a bunch of short-sighted bastards!" Li Wendi hung up the phone and sighed to himself.

On the other side, Chen Xingzhou hung up the phone blankly, then picked up his clothes and left the office.

But he met his sister Chen Jinxi in the corridor, so he asked Chen Jinxi to stop him. "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Chen Xingzhou rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and felt that it wouldn't take a few minutes to discuss with Chen Jinxi before making a decision.

"Let's go to the office and talk!"

Seeing her brother's serious expression, Chen Jinxi was naturally worried and hurried to catch up.

"Our cooperation with Li Wendi has been discovered by my father again. What should we do?" Chen Xing asked in panic.

Chen Jinxi sighed slightly, "It's only a matter of time before Dad finds out, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"You were in such a hurry to go out just now, did you want to admit your mistake to dad?"

Chen Xingzhou nodded. "Yes! Changheng Real Estate is too small to support our blueprint. As long as we are still under Chen Jewelry, we still have a chance to make a comeback."

"Brother, you are wrong!" Chen Jinxi shook her head. "If we lose Changheng Real Estate, even if we are in Chen's Jewelry, we will not have a chance in ten years. On the contrary, if Changheng Real Estate is in our hands and we get some assets from Dad, Changheng Real Estate may not be as big as planned, but it will not be too different."

It has happened twice, so Chen Fenben will naturally be on guard. Chen Xingzhou will not have a third chance in the short term and will most likely be severely punished.

"You mean to wait for dad to find us? And then fight to the death to protect Changheng Real Estate?" Chen Xingzhou's brows were twisted into a "川" shape, his face full of confusion. He was afraid that there was an abyss of no return in front of him.

Chen Jinxi nodded and said, "Yes, Changheng Real Estate is our core business. Although Chen's Jewelry is very big, it belongs to the eldest son and has nothing to do with us."

"Li Wendi just called to inform me. I wonder what he thinks now?" Chen Xingzhou did not respond, but talked about other things.
