Xu Zhe had a headache; this person's values were really in line with Si Xingzhu's.
Xu Zhe: "Stop! Just imagine what it would be like if Zou Kai treated you like this..."
"Oh my god! That would be amazing!" Liang Shile's eyes welled up with tears just thinking about it.
"Of course I'd be happy to let him handcuff me!"
"I must be sentenced to life imprisonment; I'm willing to be handcuffed to him forever..."
Xu Zhe: "......" What is all this nonsense?
"By the way, what happened to your brother?"
When Liang Shaojie was mentioned, Liang Shile became incredibly excited, almost to the point of being half-dead.
"Him! Bei Xiaoyu couldn't stand his filth after her probation period ended. After being dumped, this guy goes to the company all dressed up during the day, but comes home drunk and cries like a madman at night. I really want to get him a bed in a mental hospital!"
Liang Shile had had enough of the theme song of "The Temptation to Go Home," and her curiosity got the better of her, so she decided to find the TV series to watch.
I almost threw up blood after watching it. There wasn't a single normal person in it. They were all incredibly scumbags and despicable, and the revenge plot was so melodramatic!
If she were Lin Pinru, she would definitely take a big knife to cut up her ex-husband Dio after being reborn. Why would she sleep with him and fight with the mistress for a piece of trash!
When Xu Zhe heard about Liang Shaojie's condition, he felt that he deserved it! He hadn't been civilized before and had slept anywhere, so it was no wonder he was criticized for being dirty.
As the two were talking, the door opened and another head peeked in.
This time it's Si Xingzhu.
Upon seeing Liang Shile, she walked in confidently and greeted him with a fist and palm salute.
Xu Zhe: "......"
“Xu Zhe, this time Butler Zhou sent me in to protect you.” Si Xingzhu sat down on the sofa in the bedroom.
Xu Zhe frowned: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just that the young master's eldest uncle came over, and Butler Zhou told me to stay here so you wouldn't get caught and lectured by the Pei family elders."
Si Xingzhu took an apple out of her pocket and started crunching on it.
Xu Zhe was speechless. Pei Li's arrival wasn't a big deal?!
"What's he doing here? Your young master isn't home."
Si Xingzhu chewed on an apple: "How would I know? But I secretly took a look, and hey! That bodyguard next to me is obviously a trained fighter; his kung fu is definitely no less than mine!"
Xu Zhe: "......"
The key point isn't the bodyguard's skill level, is it?!
"However, he looked terrible and went straight to the young master's study to wait," Si Xingzhu added.
Finally, we get to the point. Pei Li, who has been living in Beidu for a long time, suddenly came to Lingnan and went directly to Xu's residence with an unfriendly expression. This in itself is very suspicious!
"What's wrong? Is Uncle Xu sick?" Liang Shile asked, joining in the conversation.
"No~" Si Xingzhu paused for a moment. She didn't say that Pei Li was sick.
Liang Shile: "Didn't you say he looked terrible?"
Si Xingzhu swallowed the apple in her mouth: "Oh my, I meant your expression was terrible! Miss Liang, you really are just like your brother!"
Liang Shile protested: "Speak properly, why are you belittling me!"
Xu Zhe: "......"
Si Xingzhu chuckled sheepishly. It seemed that Liang Shaojie was so stupid that he even recognized his own sister!
Upon receiving the news, Xu Zhengxi rushed back. Without even visiting Xu Zhe, she went straight to the study.
"Zhengxi! What are you doing?!" Pei Li greeted him with anger and questions before the study door could be closed properly.
Xu Zhengxi knew why his uncle was angry. He walked to the desk and sat down without changing his expression.
“Uncle, you’ve already moved, why get upset?” He looked concerned. “Worry about your heart.”
Pei Li instinctively clutched his chest; his heart was indeed pounding too fast.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Why are you making a fuss about the entertainment industry all of a sudden?"
He was referring to "Star Movement Films." Xu Zhengxi has never been involved in the entertainment industry, so why did he suddenly want to investigate a minor celebrity last night?
The digging up of the radish brought up the mud, even dragging in the fact that the minor celebrity was backed by a company.
That's one thing, turning a blind eye and only interfering with those who want to make a move, but Xu Zhengxi insists on digging up the bigwigs of the film and television company who launder money and exposing them to the public!
"You're making enemies for yourself!" Pei Li's temper flared up again.
He simply couldn't understand why, after being trapped in Beidu for so long by their opponents and finally managing to escape, they weren't following their plan and were creating more trouble!
Xu Zhengxi maintained a calm expression: "Uncle, I have many enemies, one more won't make a difference."
"You!" Pei Li sighed, "Zhengxi, you've always been good at planning, but you still need to be extremely cautious in everything you do!"
Xu Zhengxi nodded: "I understand. I have considered who to target and who to move. Rather than waiting for the other party to change their mind and suddenly turn against us, it's better to eliminate the uncertainty first."
He had only intended to end things by eliminating Ou Yani and the company behind her.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that the bigwig behind the company is a fickle opportunist. Let's take this opportunity to eliminate him completely!
Pei Li pondered for a moment, then realized he had overreacted. Perhaps it was because of the investigation into Zheng Xi that the slightest disturbance could trigger his sensitive nerves.
Seeing Zheng Xi's calm and composed demeanor, he really reminded me of myself back in the day!
Pei Li lamented that he was getting old and lacked the drive of younger people.
"Your transfer will be officially announced after the Spring Festival," Pei Li said, his tone much more relaxed.
"Although the rank of the person going to the Northwest Province is a promotion, the local level is weaker than that of Lingnan. This can be said to be a promotion in name only."
"You still have a long way to go to get back to the core of the economy, back to the core of Beidu!"
When the topic of a transfer came up, Xu Zhengxi's expression darkened, not because he was unhappy about the apparent promotion but the de facto transfer. He didn't care about the twists and turns of the road, as long as the future was bright, he was not afraid of the hardships.
However, Xu Zhe was studying at Lingnan University, unlike high school where he could transfer to another school and go with him, so being separated by distance was inevitable.
Moreover, their relationship has recently deteriorated to the point where he needs to tie people up.
Xu Zhengxi was really unsure whether Xu Zhe would really leave him when the time came.
"Zhengxi," Pei Li pulled him back from his thoughts, "Don't blame me for bringing this up again, but your marriage needs to be put on the agenda!"
Xu Zhengxi smiled and said, "No rush, Uncle. Xu Zhe is not yet of legal marriage age."
He no longer hid or avoided the issue; the feelings he had made up his mind were not open to any further interference from others.
"You!" Pei Li was furious again. "You are absolutely stubborn!"
"In matters of the heart, indeed," Xu Zhengxi affirmed his assessment.
Pei Li calmed himself down and looked at his nephew, the successor to his business:
"We have no idea what the situation is like in the Northwest Province. This step you take westward is a crucial step for your return to the power center of Beidu!"
"You know what this means, and your opponent knows it too! Are you sure you want to expose her to the world and bring danger upon her before you've achieved your goal?!"
Pei Li was indeed shrewd, directly hitting Xu Zhengxi's sore spot.
Doesn't he care about that girl? If his future is fraught with storms, would he be willing to let her weather the storm with him?!
