Chapter 69 Inquiry
Secretary Tang thought to himself, although Chen Manting is the only child of the eldest branch of the Chen family, the Chen family is ruled by Old Man Chen, who is an old-fashioned person. Moreover, the second branch of the Chen family has two boys. Although one of the children is only fifteen and the other just eight years old, who can predict what will happen in the future?

Wasn’t Mr. Xi the one who took over the Xi Group from his aunt when he was eighteen years old?
Three to five years go by very quickly.

Liruan: Chen Manting, isn’t this the woman who was on the hot search list with Xi Leng that time?

"She comes here often?"

Secretary Tang: "Not often. She used to come over occasionally with friends, and she has come over a few times to entertain clients since she joined Chen's."

Liruan didn't ask any more questions after that.

Liruan originally thought that Secretary Tang would take her to the bar, but it was not the case. Secretary Tang took her to visit the floors and stayed for a while on each floor. During this time, she saw several big names in the entertainment industry having fun there.

The music in Room 8 on the 812th floor was blaring, and the atmosphere was high. A waiter pushed the door open and came to Chen Manting's side and whispered something, "We are already on the th floor. Secretary Tang is taking her around every floor. They must be going to the th floor next."

Chen Manting immediately laughed and gave the waiter a big red envelope. After she left, she immediately hooked her fingers at a few second-generation friends around her, "Do you want to go to the sixteenth floor to play?"

Li Chenming has liked Chen Manting for so many years and knows her too well. They were suddenly called over for a party tonight, and the waiter said a few words and then went to the sixteenth floor. So, is there someone on the sixteenth floor that interests her?
"Okay, I'm just itching to play. I've been enslaved by my dad recently and haven't come out to play for a long time."

So, Chen Manting and her group quickly went to the gambling hall on the 16th floor.

……

Li Ruan was also taken to the 16th floor by Secretary Tang.

Seeing the noisy lobby, Liruan's eyes lit up immediately. She immediately took out her bank card and said, "Quick, help me change the chips. I didn't expect that there would be such a good place for the banquet!"

Secretary Tang said, "The boss said that all of Miss Li's spending here will be charged to him, so I can just give you the chips.

Our boss has plenty of money, it would be a waste if he doesn't spend it. He spends at least nine figures a year to support his woman. Considering the friendship between Mr. Xi and our boss, it's only one million, so it's just a drop in the bucket."

"It's their business whether they have a good relationship. The relationship between Mr. Xi and I is not what you think. So, it's better to swipe my own card. Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed."

The standard smile on Secretary Tang’s face finally changed. It was not the kind of relationship they thought. What kind was it?

Could it be that Miss Li is just Mr. Xi’s female companion, or even his lover?

People in the entertainment industry do find sponsors for themselves, but Miss Li doesn’t look like one!

Besides, why is she so frank, is she serious?

"Then, I'll go help Ms. Li change the chips."

While she was waiting to get the chips, many people looked at her. She knew that it was because her appearance was too eye-catching. Perhaps a few people knew her, but she was not afraid at all.

Secretary Tang just said that no one is allowed to take photos with any electronic device above the fourth floor of the banquet.

This is one of the main reasons why the banquet venue is so famous.

The lowest level of entry-level membership card requires an annual membership fee of 100,000 yuan. Secondly, the confidentiality measures are extremely strong. Even if a reporter sneaks in, they have no way of sending out the information they have.

One million chips were quickly exchanged, and there were not many chips of ten thousand, fifty thousand, and one hundred thousand on the tray.

Secretary Tang wanted to take Li Ruan to a private box to play so that she wouldn't have to worry about being disturbed. But after seeing Chen Manting and her friends were also here, how could Li Ruan go?
She deliberately found a table closest to table 8 and sat down, then started playing.

In box 808.

After Li Ruan left, Fu Jingnian looked at Xi Leng with an inquiring expression, "Brother Leng, are you and Li Ruan serious, or are you not planning on a long-term relationship?"

He did not forget Xi Leng's introduction just now: she is as soft as a pear.

If it was your girlfriend, or the person you were planning to marry, why would you introduce her to your friends so coldly, only giving her a name?
Feng Qingmo and the others also stared at Xi Leng, wanting to hear what he had to say. "What do you mean by true or not? Didn't you tell me to find a lover and keep him as a supporter?"

Pei Yizhi: So you really have a lover? You are quite obedient!
Feng Qingmo glanced at Fu Jingnian, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Look at what you have done!

"A contract lover who has signed a contract?"

Xi Leng originally didn't want to answer this question, because he felt that if he really said this, something he didn't want to face would definitely happen in the future, but these three were all his good brothers, so he nodded.

Fu Jingnian coughed, feeling inexplicably guilty. It seemed that Brother Leng had been led astray by him.

"So what are your feelings for her?"

Xi Leng frowned. What kind of feelings are there? They are in a contractual relationship. She is his mistress. If they develop feelings for each other, they will have to terminate the contract in advance.

Moreover, judging from what the little woman said, the contract was over and she seemed unwilling to renew it with him. He felt inexplicably irritated when he thought about it.

Feng Qingmo reminded the three of them: "Don't forget, Li Ruan is in the entertainment industry. Given auntie's personality, she won't agree to Brother Leng marrying a woman in the entertainment industry."

Xi Leng pursed his lips unconsciously, "Who said I'm going to marry her?"

If he really married someone in his situation, wouldn't he be harming that person?

He will never get married in his life!
Seeing his resistance, Pei Yizhi and the other two wisely stopped talking.

Brother Leng's situation is really special. If he can't change his mind, no matter how much others say, it will be useless.

At this time, Fu Jingnian's cell phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was Secretary Tang calling. He pressed the answer button: "What's the matter?"

"Boss, there's something exciting to watch, do you want to come?"

Fu Jingnian was surprised. What excitement would there be when Secretary Tang accompanied Li Ruan to visit the club?
"Which floor?"

After asking the question, he actually knew that he had asked a stupid question, because he could already hear the casino dealer say that the bet was settled.

"The Hall of Wealth on the 16th floor."

"Is Miss Li okay?"

Secretary Tang glanced at Li Ruan, who was sitting steadily, and then replied to his boss with a smile: "She is fine."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Jingnian called his brothers: "Let's go, let's go to the sixteenth floor. Xiao Tang said there's something exciting to see."

Xi Leng had already stood up. When Fu Jingnian mentioned Li Ruan, he was a little worried that his little lover would be bullied. Even if no one dared to cause trouble in Jingnian's territory, what if someone was blind?

The four of them quickly reached the sixteenth floor, but they did not enter the Fugui Hall, but entered the box next door. Fu Jingnian asked someone to connect to the surveillance camera next door and peeked in from close range.

　I saw your requests for updates, but I’m sorry, I can’t add them.

　　The stupid author broke his right arm on the 4th day, and his arm has been in a cast ever since. He has to correct mistakes using just one finger of his left hand, which is very difficult.

　　Of course, this is not the most annoying thing. The previous X-ray showed that only one part of my arm was broken. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a follow-up check and a change of dressing, and I was finally able to take off the plaster. As a result, another fracture was discovered, and the recovery is not going well yet, which directly prolonged the recovery period.

　　Fortunately, when I was writing this book, the editor asked me to save some manuscripts before publishing, otherwise I would have stopped updating long ago. But even so, I can't keep it up for long, because I really don't have many manuscripts left. I can only hope that my bones can recover soon.

　　Well, well, by the way, I'd like to ask for a vote. After my hand injury, I don't want to type even one more word. I haven't asked for a vote for a long time. Please give me one, my friends.

　　The basin is ready.
