Chapter 86: Eighty-six Billion "The men are having tea."...
At the entrance of the building, as agreed, Xin Jingli would not arrive for another half an hour.
There were three layers of spectators in front, and the flashes of mobile phones were flashing one after another, no less than the intensity of a press conference. It was not a red carpet, but it was better than a red carpet.
In the center of the crowd, Xi Jiyu, Qin Qing, Jingyun, Tan Jingfan, Xi Yahe and Qin Mo stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the entrance.
On the surface, several people maintained their usual expressions and treated the camera shots in their faces in the most comfortable way possible.
Behind each other's backs, using only sounds that the other party can hear, they prick each other's backs.
"How is it? Can everyone's liquidity support this building?" Qin Qing muttered to himself.
Xi Jiyu adjusted his cuffs, smiling politely, and said, "It doesn't matter to the Xi family. After all, we are the ones in charge. I wonder if you have the right to control the family property."
Even if you have money, you won't have the chance to use it. Before you pay, it has been sent away by Xu Zhanyan, Jingyun complained in his heart.
But his tone changed, pretending to be generous, gentle and calm: "It's okay, we agreed to protect her together. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you."
Tan Jingfan, who knew the truth, rolled up the beads and said slowly, "If you need them, I can lend them to you. After all, we are brothers. When we have difficulties, we should help each other."
Xi Jiyu and Qin Qing were stunned, surprised that these two people, who used to be eloquent, were now silent.
Thinking that they were short of funds and would not participate in this war, the two smiled at each other.
When their eyes met, they determined that the other was their only real enemy, and their eyes immediately changed from a slight smile to a sharp blade.
Jingyun and Tan Jingfan were also surprised by each other's magnanimity.
Tan Jingfan thought Jingyun must know something, and that Jingyun had also sought cooperation with Jin Jingfang, and felt that Jin Jingfang was playing both sides.
Jingyun thought Tan Jingfan was also plotting to cooperate with Xu Zhanyan. Xu Zhanyan needed capital support, and he was worried that Xu Zhanyan would have too big an appetite and try to have his cake and eat it too much.
The two people looked at each other with probing eyes, trying to find some clues of betrayal in each other's pupils.
Such a small action, because the group was too eye-catching, the onlookers did not notice it at all, and they were only focused on eating melons:
"Oh my god, look at this row of handsome guys. They're standing so neatly and properly. They're all tall. It looks like they've been trained on how to please their sweethearts. It really feels like a talent show."
"The talent shows can't compare. They're much more expensive than celebrities, and their facial expressions and body shapes are much better. Compared to the fat, big-eared male passersby these days, they're simply heavenly treasures!"
"I hope Sister Li won't rush into making a choice. Look around more, try more, and try everything! Life is long, don't hang yourself on one tree~"
"Try them all? Is it the one I want to try? Hehe~"
"So what? This is a big deal! A bad experience really affects your life, okay? It can't be compensated by being handsome!"
"Indeed, it's impossible! Hahahahaha."
"We are getting better now. I am actually here to guide Sister Li in her love life. Hahahaha!"
"Of course not! These guys are quite good, and our Sister Li isn't bad either! Look at her figure in the video, she easily gained so many fans even with a mask on. These guys are definitely out of their league!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! Is that car Sister Li's?!"
As soon as those words were spoken, all eyes and cameras in the venue turned towards the entrance.
The car that drove in was an extended Lincoln that no one had seen before. The license plate was also unfamiliar, and the driver was a middle-aged man.
Xi Jiyu and others frowned in confusion, looking at each other, feeling that something was wrong.
When did Xin Jingli hire a driver? And driving such a formal, stretched Lincoln? It doesn't suit her style.
Then I thought that since today is such a big day, it would be reasonable to ask a driver to help drive the car and entertain the guests.
He assumed that the person coming was Xin Jingli, and began to tidy up his clothes, clear his throat, and adjust his state.
The crowd's discussion was once again deafening:
"Oh my god! It really is Sister Li! Look at them, one by one, they've all started to organize their clothes!"
"Oh my god! How come there are animated facial expressions? And he's deliberately choosing the angle that looks best, hahahahaha!"
"Why do I feel like one or two are such bitches? Look at how they're standing, it's too close together, and some people are trying to move forward!"
"It doesn't matter. As long as you're willing to put in the effort to please my sister Li, it doesn't matter if you're a bitch!"
…
As soon as the car stopped, Xi Jiyu and others immediately walked forward, scrambling to get to the back door.
"It's so funny, it's scary when men fight. They're all brothers, look at them all hahahahahahaha!"
"I love this melon so much. I thought the upper class paid a lot of attention to appearances, but I didn't expect that in front of the person I like, their methods would be so clumsy. Hahahaha~"
"It's beautiful and I love it! Sister Li is so nice, she spends her money wisely and gives us a good show as soon as she appears! I love her even more!"
Amidst the discussion, Xi Jiyu and his group had already arrived at the rear door. A middle-aged assistant got out of the passenger seat and opened it first.
They surrounded the car, with joyful eyes, looking forward to the appearance of the people in the car.
This was the first time that Xin Jingli appeared in public, and it was also the first time that they appeared in the same frame with her in public.
Nowadays, CP fans are the most popular in public opinion. Xin Jingli has also invested in the Jiyue band, which shows that she values this kind of traffic.
At such a crucial moment, whoever can make eye contact with her and have a unique conversation with her will have a great chance of gaining CP fans. Then, using this as an excuse, he can take some couple photos with her, take a couple trip, etc., and say that it is to consolidate the fan base. Wouldn't that be a complete win!
Everyone was ready to go, thinking about all kinds of opening remarks in their minds, and they did not forget to be prepared. The moment Xin Jingli got off the car, they immediately sent out their teammates in secret to start implementing the "Clear Brothers" plan and trick the other party away from the scene.
I saw the assistant wearing white gloves, holding the car door, bending over, and respectfully welcoming the boss in the car.
The spectators were also curious and felt that they had made a fortune today as they could see the true appearance of the mysterious [Li Li Yuan Shang Cao]. This was first-hand news!
In that instant, everyone held their breath, no one spoke, only the noisy sound of shutter clicks, which was brighter than the movement of a superstar.
The next second, unexpected black leather shoes stepped on the floor. Xi Jiyu and the others frowned, and the crowd also shouted "Huh?" one after another.
man?
Why is there another man in her car?
Xi Jiyu, Qin Qing, Jingyun, Tan Jingfan, as well as Xi Yahe and Qin Mo, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. They forgot that they were rivals in love and chose to cooperate tacitly. They decided not to try any tricks and just get rid of the thing in the car first.
Anyone who can get out of Xin Jingli's car must be a strong enemy.
"Long time no see, my brothers, why are you welcoming me with such a grand ceremony?"
Zhang Shidao walked down in the astonished eyes of everyone, pretended to look around, waved to the crowd, and greeted Xi Jiyu and others in a hypocritical manner.
The Zhang family does not get along with the Xi family, the Qin family, the Jing family, and the Tan family, but East City is so small that they have some business dealings with each other. They see each other every time, and it has become a habit for them to exchange hypocritical greetings every time.
Knowing that Xin Jingli was going to look at properties today and that his last Weibo confession was so grand, Zhang Shidao naturally understood that Xi Jiyu and his gang would definitely be there.
I deliberately chose an unused car to catch them off guard, so that these youngsters wouldn't ruin my plans.
When the onlookers saw that it was Zhang Shidao, they sighed in disappointment. They also knew that the families were not getting along. Seeing this situation, they also started gossiping:
"That's not right. Doesn't anyone know that this car belongs to Zhang Shidao?"
"Of course you know. We're all in the same circle."
"Then why go to greet them? Isn't that just slapping yourself in the face?"
Hearing this, Zhang Shidao was secretly happy that he had won a round. Last time, they worked together to intimidate him on Weibo, and this time he also played a little trick to satisfy his own pleasure.
"Mr. Zhang, it's been a long time since we last met. Why did you suddenly think of coming here today?" Xi Jiyu took over the family business and dealt with Zhang Shidao more than others. At this moment, he naturally took over the conversation and extended his hand.
"Come and take a look at the property." Zhang Shidao did not hide his feelings and extended his hand to shake hands.
After hearing this, Xi Jiyu, Qin Qing, Jingyun, Tan Jingfan and others raised their eyebrows unconsciously.
There is only an idle building here. Xin Jingli wants to buy it, and Zhang Shidao comes over and says he wants to buy it too. Isn't that going against her?
It's the enemy.
With the tacit understanding of growing up together, the few people just exchanged glances and immediately reached a consensus, deciding to get rid of Zhang Shidao first and clear the roadblock for her.
Jingyun extended his hand and politely replied, "Boss Zhang, are you planning to expand the Zhang family's influence again? Congratulations."
Zhang Shidao shook hands with Jingyun and said, "I'm still no match for the Jing family. Besides their wealth, Boss Jing is also young and promising. Hahahaha."
Among the people present, only Xi Jiyu and Jingyun often hang out in the business world, and they are the most capable of dealing with Zhang Shidao in a short period of time.
Relying on years of tacit understanding, Qin Qing and Tan Jingfan extended their hands one after another.
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see." Tan Jingfan's smile did not reach his eyes.
"I've been competing outside. This should be the second time I've met Mr. Zhang." Qin Qing also agreed.
You and I talked back and forth, attracting Zhang Shidao's attention.
While his brothers were covering him, Xi Jiyu took out his phone and sent a message to Zhao Tezhu: [Let's discuss the second cooperation first.]
Today Xi Jiyu has two collaborations, one is related to the Qin family, the Jing family and the Tan family, and the content involves Qin Qing, Jingyun and Tan Jingfan.
He originally planned to wait for Xin Jingli to appear, and then he would let Special Assistant Zhao take action and force the leaders of the three families to bring his brothers back.
The second one is a serious business cooperation. They want to compete with the Zhang family for a piece of land. That piece of land is related to the expansion of the business sectors of the two families. Whoever can get it will have the upper hand.
According to the status of the clones, no one wants to lose, which is different from the small-scale cooperation in the first place.
"We must find a way to reach a cooperation within a short period of time and put the Zhang family in a difficult position," Xi Jiyu added.
In this way, Zhang Shidao would get anxious and deal with it personally, and would have to leave the scene.
Jingyun also took out his phone, but instead of sending a message to the Jing family, he sent it to Xu Zhanyan: [Change the attack target to the Zhang family's system.]
After sending it, he looked into the coffee shop again and saw Xu Zhanyan silently making an OK gesture and burying his head in the computer. The smile on his face deepened.
If the system is paralyzed, no matter how much Zhang Shidao says today, he has no money to afford the property costs, and it won't cause any trouble here.
Xi Jiyu and Jingyun exchanged glances, indicating that they were about to take action.
Zhang Shidao turned a blind eye to all this.
He was prepared to resist.
Knowing that these people were devoted to Xin Jingli, whether it was the system or the cooperation, he was on guard and no one could disturb him today.
This time he came to show his goodwill and wanted to buy the property for Xin Jingli to show his intentions and cooperate with her.
I saw a group of upper-class people gathered under an office building, exchanging sharp and cryptic greetings, leaving the crowd confused.
"That's not right. If it was Liliyuanshangcao who came today, why would Zhang Shidao come?"
"Did he just say he wanted to buy a property? When it came to properties, Xi Jiyu and the others' expressions clearly turned red."
"They don't get along well with each other. If they work together and still can't stop Zhang Shidao, and let him snatch it away, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?"
"It's more than just embarrassing, it means that all of them combined are not as powerful as Zhang Shidao alone!"
"Isn't Zhang Shidao just showing off his power in front of Sister Li? What on earth does he want? He's old enough, could he also like Sister Li?"
"No, Sister Li can't have an old man. He probably has nothing to do and wants to intimidate Xi Jiyu and the others. They are business rivals. If he wins this time, he will have a better chance of winning in future competitions."
In fact, these are also what Zhang Shidao thought in his heart.
If he could defeat these four families in front of Xin Jingli, it would just prove the strength of the Zhang family. Why wouldn't she choose to cooperate with him?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shidao curled up the corners of his mouth.
As expected, the tricks they used against him have already produced feedback.
Special Assistant Zhao replied to Xi Jiyu: [Mr. Xi, the partner said they have something to do today and cannot discuss the cooperation. They hope to wait until there is time to discuss it with the Zhang family. The three parties can come straight to the point and discuss it in detail.]
Xu Zhanyan sent a message to Jingyun: [The Zhang family only exposed one system, and there is another hidden. It will probably take an hour to find it. I'm afraid it's too late. You need to be prepared.]
Neither side could restrain Zhang Shidao.
Qin Qing had not made any preparations at all, and Tan Jingfan treated it as Xin Jingli's visit just for formalities, so he just tidied himself up and did not plan to prepare anything.
Zhang Shidao was determined to acquire this property.
No, no matter whether Xin Jingli wants this property or not, he cannot give it to Zhang Shidao. They were thinking in their hearts, and various solutions flashed through their minds.
In the [Chasing Her Alliance] group:
Xi Jiyu: [My road is completely blocked, who else has a plan?]
Jingyun: [I don't have any here either. It will take an hour to crack. Zhang Shidao did it on purpose.]
Tan Jingfan: [I didn't prepare anything today! Originally, this building wasn't important, but now that Zhang Shidao is here, we can't let him succeed.]
Qin Qing: [Me too. Actually, this property doesn't matter. It would be best if Xin Jingli didn't buy it, but that's not the case now. Zhang Shidao is deliberately stirring up public opinion and then buying the property. Regardless of his purpose, we're all at a disadvantage.]
Xi Jiyu: [Then we have no choice but to join forces.]
Jingyun: [We can offer double or even triple the price, as long as it doesn't end up in Zhang Shidao's hands.]
Qin Qing: [Yes, my current turnover is quite impressive. I agree to join forces.]
Tan Jingfan: [I agree.]
Buzz-
The four people's cell phones rang at the same time. When they looked at the phone, their faces changed tacitly and turned ashen.
Due to an operational failure in the company's systems, their funds were temporarily frozen.
Jingyun received a message from Xu Zhanyan: [All four of you have been hacked. I'm helping you fix it now, but it will take at least an hour. It's obvious that Zhang Shidao did this on purpose. This hour is crucial.]
Jingyun sent the screenshot to the group, and the fate of the four people was instantly strangled.
The plan to buy the property cannot be realized in the short term.
Qin Qing: [How about I ask Qin Mo to hold Xin Jingli back? After we've dealt with Zhang Shidao, or the system, we can call her over?]
Qin Mo is the person who makes the appointment, which is equivalent to an intermediary. At this time, only if he contacts Xin Jingli will Xin Jingli believe it.
Xi Jiyu, Jingyun, and Tan Jingfan: [Good idea, let Qin Mo contact her!]
Before Qin Qing could communicate with Qin Mo, the crowd around them started to boil again:
"Wow! A pink Ferrari! This time it must be [Li Li Yuan Shang Cao]!"
"What a dreamy color! So pretty! It suits her looks perfectly! She must be very beautiful!"
"Ahhhhh! I can't wait to see what she looks like!"
…
At the same time, Xi Jiyu, Jingyun, Tan Jingfan, Qin Qing, Qin Mo, and Xi Yahe all turned around and saw the familiar car, and everyone's heart was in their throat.
Pink Ferrari, this time it's really her, it's too late.
Only Zhang Shidao, with the corners of his mouth curled up, laughed heartily, and walked slowly forward with an appearance of being sure of victory.
Seeing this, the others hurried over, like a wall, standing shoulder to shoulder in front of Zhang Shidao, and winking at him with their backs.
Xi Jiyu: [No matter what, don't let him come into contact with Xin Jingli for now.]
Jingyun: [Yes, Zhang Shidao was the one behind the last Weibo incident. This time, we must ensure Xin Jingli's safety first.]
Tan Jingfan: [She hasn't revealed her name publicly yet. Now that Zhang Shidao is here, there's no guarantee he won't use this to embarrass her. We need to be on guard.]
Qin Qing: [As a last resort, take action. No matter what, he must not reveal her private information in public.]
Passersby don’t know Xin Jingli’s name, and they won’t mention it, but Zhang Shidao is an uncertain factor. What if he goes crazy and tells everything? Wouldn’t that harm Xin Jingli?
How did Xin Jingli offend Zhang Shidao?
They all thought it was because of themselves.
The Zhang family was at odds with them, perhaps because they knew of their friendship with Xin Jingli and wanted to use it to blackmail them.
Unexpectedly, their deep love would actually harm her. Several people clenched their fists, stood straight, and waited for the Ferrari to approach with smiles on their faces. However, they secretly blocked Zhang Shidao behind them.
The pink Ferrari was getting closer and closer. The strong sunlight blurred the front windshield, making it impossible to see the scene inside the car.
The group's heartbeats quickened, and cold sweat broke out on their backs. Their eyes fell on the front of the car, but it was as if they had eyes open on the back, staring at Zhang Shidao.
If he had the courage to call out Xin Jingli's name, they would attack him immediately before he even uttered the first word.
Even if we have to fall out today, I must protect Xin Jingli's reputation and not cause trouble for her future life.
With the anticipation of passers-by, in an atmosphere so quiet you could hear a pin drop, the car stopped, the door opened, and everyone gasped.
The wheat-skinned man got out of the driver's seat. The car was empty and there was no one there. The expected figure was nowhere to be seen, and the crowd sighed loudly.
Doubts also arose one after another: "Why is it a man who came down???"
