Chapter 53 Successful Evidence Collection
Chen Manli did not notice that Lin Tao stared at her legs with a dirty look. After starting the car, he drove the car seriously. After a while, Chen Manli pretended to be careless and asked Lin Tao, "Depending on your age, it shouldn't be long after graduating from college, right? Why choose this road?"
Lin Tao smiled at Chen Manli, without answering her question, and asked back: "Since you hate the underworld so much, why should you marry Boss Wu?"
Chen Manli didn't expect Lin Tao to ask her such a question. Her face became gloomy, her charming and beautiful face was covered with dark clouds, and her red lips were closed and silent.
"Sorry, sister-in-law, I have no malice, I'm just a little curious."
"Do you think I'm interested in his money?" Chen Manli sneered at Lin Tao.
Lin Tao smiled embarrassedly. Indeed, the contrast between Chen Manli and Lao Wu was too big. First of all, Lao Wu was older than Chen Manli. Secondly, Lao Wu was not good-looking, and Chen Manli's appearance and temperament were not inferior to domestic first-line stars. The two were like toads and white swans. If it weren't for the toads that attracted white swans, how could the white swans fall in love with toads?
Therefore, Lin Tao's initial guess was that Chen Manli fell in love with Lao Wu's money and married Lao Wu.
"If you don't speak, that means you're accusation?" The smile on Chen Manli's face became even colder.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I actually started..."
"You don't need to explain!" Chen Manli interrupted Lin Tao and smiled self-deprecatingly. Then, her face was a little dim and said, "So everyone who knows me thinks so. Moreover, I really marry Lao Wu because he is rich!"
Lin Tao: “…”
Lin Tao didn't expect Chen Manli to admit in front of him that he was for Lao Wu's money, which made him not know how to answer the conversation.
Chen Manli glanced at Lin Tao and continued to say to herself: "I was born in a very poor family. My father passed away early. When I still don't remember, my father passed away. He has always depended on his mother for life. My mother has no skills, so the family has been very hard-working. When I was a child, I had to wait for the New Year. Others had new clothes to wear during the New Year, but I didn't. Can you understand the pain caused by poverty?"
Lin Tao was speechless.
Although Lin Tao has no father or mother since childhood and grew up with the old man who adopted him, the old man is an old miracle doctor who is not a world-wide. Although he is not rich, he has never let Lin Tao suffer, so Lin Tao cannot understand what Chen Manli said.
"I really didn't expect you to have such a pitiful life experience, sister-in-law. If I hadn't heard you, I always thought you had been pampering since childhood, otherwise how could you have such an elegant temperament."
Chen Manli slowed down a little, with a hint of sadness on her face, and said in a gentle tone: "Do you know how my mother died?"
Lin Tao looked at Chen Manli in confusion.
Chen Manli smiled desolately, looked straight ahead and said, "Because I had no money to perform surgery, I was dragged down by the disease and died on the hospital bed. Now, do you know why I want to marry Lao Wu?!"
Lin Tao sighed softly, not knowing how to comfort Chen Manli.
He can now understand why Chen Manli always looks cold and after experiencing those things, how many people can not be disappointed in life?
"Sister-in-law, don't think about the past, at least you are living a good life now!" Lin Tao squeezed out a smile and comforted him.
Chen Manli sneered, "Do you think I'm living a good life now?"
Lin Tao was slightly surprised and said, "You have all the luxury cars in villas and luxury cars now. Boss Wu is not good to you. Are these not enough?"
As soon as Chen Manli stepped on the accelerator, the speed of the car instantly rose, and said lightly, "You don't understand!" and then stopped talking.
Hemu Furniture City is built in an industrial area near Yangcheng. Chen Manli parked the car and got off with Lin Tao.
The two entered the furniture city, and a female salesperson in a uniform greeted her with a smile and asked, "Miss, what furniture do you need to buy? Do you need my help to recommend it?"
Lin Tao surrounded the furniture city for a week and said, "Are your boss here? I have a big order to cooperate with him."
The female salesperson smiled and said, "Sir, I am the sales director here. You can tell me if you have any needs!"
Lin Tao shook his head and said, "You can't make the decision, I have to talk to your boss."
The female salesperson nodded helplessly and said, "Then I will contact our boss, but he is not in the furniture city. I wonder if he has time now."
Lin Tao instructed: "Just say that the general manager of Red Star Hotel asks him for cooperation, he will definitely come."
"Okay!" the female salesperson agreed, then took her cell phone and called.
Chen Manli glanced at Lin Tao intentionally or unintentionally, and said contemptuously: "Your lie is really casual!"
Lin Tao curled his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, you're a bit unkind. Isn't this just to help you deal with Wang Xiaofeng!"
Chen Manli sneered: "This is your hotel business. When did you help me?"
Lin Tao was about to speak, but after the call, the female salesperson left and said to the two with a smile: "Please wait, our boss will come soon, why don't I take you to his office first?"
"Okay, please trouble you." Lin Tao nodded with a smile.
The female salesperson took Lin Tao and Shen Manli to the office of the furniture city boss and asked, "What do you two want to drink?"
Lin Tao glanced at Chen Manli thoughtfully and asked the female salesperson, "Do you have milk tea?"
"Milk tea?" The saleswoman was slightly stunned.
Chen Manli gave Lin Tao a angrily glance and said, "Don't pay attention to him, we don't need anything, just let your boss hurry up."
The saleswoman smiled embarrassedly and said to himself: "This woman is so beautiful, she is so cold."
After the female salesperson left the office, Lin Tao asked again tentatively: "Isn't you who met in the department store that day?"
Chen Manli stared at Lin Tao impatiently and said, "If you say it, it's not right. Why are you a big man so much nonsense?"
Lin Tao smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I didn't say anything."
Both of them fell silent for a moment. After about twenty minutes, a man with a big belly walked in from outside in a hurry and laughed: "Haha, Brother Wang, do you have any good business to introduce to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the person coming was not Wang Xiaofeng, and his smile immediately disappeared. His face darkened. He looked at Lin Tao and Shen Manli, frowned and said, "Who are you two?"
Lin Tao crossed his legs and smiled, "Didn't I say that I am the general manager of Red Star Hotel."
"Impossible, isn't the manager of Red Star Hotel Wang Xiaofeng?"
"Wang Xiaofeng has been fired by me."
Du Mingyi, the CEO of the furniture city, looked at Lin Tao with a vigilant look and said, "What's the matter with me?"
Lin Tao said with a smile: "Have you told your salesperson? I'm working with you to cooperate with Wang Xiaofeng's model!"
Du Mingyi has been struggling in society for decades. When he saw that Lin Tao was not good at coming, he sneered: "Wang Xiaofeng entered a batch of desks here half a year ago. Then tell me, what are you here to buy this time?"
"Buy your life!"
When Lin Tao saw that Du Mingyi was not a good-easy lamp, it seemed impossible to put Wang Xiaofeng's handle from his mouth, so he was too lazy to talk nonsense. As Chen Manli said, he was hard and sneered. After a sneer, his body suddenly jumped up from the sofa like a cheetah. He pinched Du Mingyi's neck accurately with one hand, and then under Shen Manli's surprised gaze, he directly raised Du Mingyi, who was nearly 170 kilograms, in the air.
"Um..." Du Mingyi's neck and face turned red, and he stared at Lin Tao with horror, and made a difficult voice from his throat, saying, "Brother... brother, if you have something to say, what are you doing... what are you doing?"
"Honestly explain the dirty things between you and Wang Xiaofeng, otherwise..." Lin Tao used a little force on his hand, and Du Mingyi's entire throat was almost broken by Lin Tao.
Lin Tao was not afraid that Du Mingyi would escape from his hands, so he let go of his neck and sat back on the sofa.
Du Mingyi coughed violently with a painful expression, then stared at Lin Tao with a vicious look, and said viciously: "Do you know who I am?"
Lin Tao smiled coldly and asked back: "Do you know who the boss behind the Red Star Hotel is?"
Du Mingyi was slightly stunned.
Lin Tao sneered and continued, "You must have heard of Boss Wu of the Red Star Club, right?"
A hint of panic flashed in Du Mingyi's eyes and said in surprise: "The boss of Red Star Hotel is really... Is Boss Wu?"
"Stop talking nonsense, you should know Boss Wu's methods, right? You dare to cheat Boss Wu's money. Haha, I'm really impatient to live."
Du Mingyi panicked and explained, "Brother, I... I really don't know that the Red Star Hotel belongs to Wu Boss, otherwise I wouldn't dare to lend me some courage!"
Few people don’t know about Lao Wu’s reputation in the circle of businessmen in Yangcheng. When talking about Lao Wu, everyone thinks of fierceness and viciousness, and there are many brothers under their command.
Which businessman can not be afraid of a gangster boss like Lao Wu?
"Now there is a chance to make up for the merits. As long as you confess all the illegal hookups that Wang Xiaofeng did, you can get rid of this matter and we will no longer cause trouble for you. If you stand firm, you should know the power of the Red Star Club. I'm afraid that your furniture city will not be able to continue in Yangcheng!"
After hearing Lin Tao's words, Du Mingyi showed a hint of entanglement in his expression.
Lin Tao added another fire and said with deep meaning: "Boss Wu doesn't know about this matter yet. If you can bring out all the matter, I can help you conceal this matter and prevent Boss Wu from knowing it, otherwise..."
"Can you really hide it for me?" Du Mingyi asked in surprise after hearing Lin Tao's words.
"What I want to deal with is Wang Xiaofeng. There is no grudge between us, why can't I get along with you?"
Du Mingyi gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, I've got it all!"
Lin Tao showed joy on his face when he heard this and looked at Chen Manli. Seeing that there was a faint smile on Chen Manli's face, he was stunned for a moment.
Chen Manli saw Lin Tao staring at her in a daze, her smile immediately restrained and glared at him indifferently, expressing dissatisfaction.
