"Freelancer".
Xu Lei said casually.
"Oh? So you're unemployed!"
Xu Shanchuan scoffed dismissively.
In his eyes, Xu Lei was just a pretty boy with no substance, and Xu Lei was worlds apart from him in terms of wealth and status!
"Hey bro, do you have any hobbies or interests?"
Xu Shanchuan crossed his legs and asked as he swayed them.
"For now, I prefer pruning flowers and plants. It relaxes my eyes and also cultivates my mind."
Xu Lei is just telling the truth.
"That's perfect. I have an uninhabited villa, not very big, only about 500 square meters. All you have to do is trim the trees and grass in the yard nicely for me, and I'll give you this amount a month. What do you think?"
After saying that, Xu Shanchuan held up five fingers.
"I bother!"
"Don't use your five thousand yuan to insult other people's hobbies!"
Lu Yike couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Xu Lei.
"Coco, your thinking is too narrow. I didn't say five thousand, I said fifty thousand!"
After saying that, Xu Shanchuan glanced at Xu Lei with interest, "I easily make tens or hundreds of thousands a month. What about you? Can you even earn 50,000 a year?"
"Would you like to work for me?"
After saying this, Aunt Wu's face clearly turned ugly.
Don't be such a bully!
What she didn't expect was that she had overestimated Xu Shanchuan's character.
"Or perhaps like this."
Xu Shanchuan took out a stack of checks from his briefcase and slammed them on the table. "As long as you can leave Coco, fill in whatever amount you want!"

Looking at the blank check in front of him, Xu Lei smiled, pushed it back to Xu Shanchuan, and gently shook his head.
"How come they've started to treat money like dirt?"
"Looks like the old saying was right, you poor little folks just love to pretend to be high and mighty!"
"Heh~bah!"
Xu Shanchuan spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground halfway through his sentence.
Afterwards, he took out a finely crafted mahogany box from his pocket.
Two cigars were neatly arranged in the box.
The faint herbal scent mixed with the fragrance of redwood instantly caught Xu Lei's eye.
"Little poor man, do you know how much this cigar costs?"
After saying that, Xu Shanchuan took a deep drag on his cigar. "To tell you the truth, just that one puff I took just now... cough cough cough cough!"
Xu Shanchuan, choked by the smoke, coughed incessantly and didn't recover for a long time.
Seeing this, Xu Lei still didn't say anything more, but simply pushed the water in front of him toward Xu Shanchuan.
Gulu gulu!
He drank the water in the glass in one gulp.
Where were we?
"Oh right, this cigar, when you calculate it, is enough for a poor guy like you to eat for at least half a month!"
"Think about it carefully. As long as you're willing to leave Coco, although you won't have the same luxurious life as me, you'll definitely live a more comfortable life than you do now. Why not?"
"Of course, you don't need to worry about saving face. Who in the underworld doesn't know the name of Xu Aotian?"
"Losing to me is not shameful!"
Xu Shanchuan belittled Xu Lei while constantly praising himself.
I don't know.
Even Yu Zui, who was sitting in the corner, almost burst out laughing at his antics.
Xu Aotian.
If you're so awesome, why don't you go to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, or go down to the sea and kiss a turtle mouth to mouth?
"Alright, alright, my stomach is going to hurt if I keep laughing. Let's just turn on the TV and watch some more!"
"Boss, where's the remote?"
Yu Zui called out as he walked toward the counter.
Soon, the television turned on.
The program currently playing above is the CCTV Evening News.
Its content is the story of today's fire heroes!
"Big brother is the most amazing person! He's even more amazing than...he's even more amazing than Prince Charming!"
On TV, the two little girls who were rescued had stars in their eyes.
"If you, our benefactor, are also watching TV, please accept our heartfelt gratitude!"
The little girl's parents bowed in unison.
Without further ado, the host picked up the conversation and immediately played the video of Xu Lei rescuing people.
It only lasted about ten seconds.
Not more, not less.
"what?"
Suddenly, Xu Shanchuan frowned.
He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "That firefighting hero... he looks so familiar. Where have I seen him before?"
"No, I have to think about this carefully when I get back. If I can convince him to be my spokesperson, the company will definitely make a fortune!"
The more he said this, the more realistic the images that appeared in Xu Shanchuan's mind became.
That was a scene of him becoming the richest man in the country, being interviewed by a television station, and recounting his entrepreneurial experience with great enthusiasm.
During this time, he didn't forget to throw Xu Lei a "learn something" at him, leaving Xu Lei and the other two completely confused.
"This is the kind of role model you young people should learn from!"
"If I could have a man like that as my son-in-law, I'd be laughing in my sleep!"
Aunt Wu couldn't help but sigh.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Lu Yike, her face slightly flushed, subconsciously gripped Xu Lei's large hand and lowered her head shyly.
Unlike Xu Shanchuan and Aunt Wu, she understood one thing the moment she saw the video.
The nationally acclaimed hero who saved her life is sitting right across from her, pretending to be her boyfriend... Oh no, she doesn't even know his name!
While Lu Yike was still hesitating about how to ask Xu Lei's name, the system notification sounded in Xu Lei's mind.
[Ding! Lu Yike's favorability +50!]
[Ding! Wu Xinyi's favorability +70!]
"Wait a minute!"
As if suddenly remembering something, Xu Shanchuan turned around and stared intently at Xu Lei, asking, "Little poor guy, what's your name? What's your relationship with that person on TV?"
"My name is Xu Lei, and I am..."
Now that things have come to this, Xu Lei is ready to lay his cards on the table.
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Xu Shanchuan interrupted him.
"Looking across Jingzhou, who hasn't heard of Xu Lei's name?"
"With your poor and pathetic appearance, how dare you call yourself Xu Lei?"
"I bother!"
"If you dare insult my idol again, believe me, I'll slap you right now!"
Seeing Xu Shanchuan's expression of utter disbelief, Xu Lei once again chose to remain silent.
It wasn't that he couldn't communicate with this kind of person, but that he felt ashamed.
After a glorious half of his life, how did he end up with such a brainless fan who not only belittles his idol but also threatens to beat him up?
Where is the law of heaven?
...
"Breaking News!"
Breaking news!
Breaking news!
Suddenly, the excited voice of the beautiful TV presenter came from the television.
She was holding a square card in her hand.
It was a portrait photograph.
"Heroes may remain unknown, but we must never bury their legacy!"
"Just now, a kind citizen brought this photo to me."
"That's the firefighting hero up there!"
After the host finished speaking, the photographer took a close-up shot of the photo.
He was a tall, robust man with a handsome appearance, resembling Pan An, and even surpassing some of the most international supermodels!
And this face is familiar to many people; it is none other than the famous Xu Lei!
"They even wear the same hat, can it really be such a coincidence?"
Looking at the image on the TV screen, and then stealing a glance at Xu Lei sitting next to him, Xu Shanchuan silently swallowed.
"Prospective son-in-law, could you take off your hat and let me see it?"
Aunt Wu asked, "I don't know where Zhao got a newspaper from."
The headline in the newspaper was a picture that Meng Yu had posted not long ago, showing Xu Lei sewing a cheongsam.
"it is good!"
Xu Lei responded and slowly took off his hat.
Immediately, everyone's eyes darted back and forth between his face and the newspaper.
After confirming that the two faces were indeed exactly the same, Lu Yike and her daughter lost their composure and didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Xu Shanchuan remained as arrogant as ever, calmly smoking a cigar.
"You poor little thing, I suspect you just had your face surgically altered to look like Xu Lei. If you admit it, I'll voluntarily withdraw and never argue with you over cocoa forks again!"
"what do you think?"
Xu Lei remained unresponsive to Xu Shanchuan's pleas.
He tapped lightly on the table with his free hand, and Yu Zui instantly understood his meaning, coughing a few times in response.

"Little poor man, you haven't answered my question yet, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
"Tell me, who are you?"
