Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

It was a little after 2 p.m.

This was a lavish cocktail party, with men and women dressed in their finest attire. The attendees were all directors, executive vice presidents, chairmen, and the like from a certain company, creating a lively atmosphere.

Su Li attended the event with Tao Huamei, nodding and greeting the friends who came and went.

"Mr. Su, it's been a long time. What business have you been up to lately?"

"Health supplements seem to be gaining popularity; let's talk about it sometime..."

"Jay Chou, we just had tea together last time. He recently opened a new club. Let's get together again sometime."

After wandering around for a while, Su Li finally found her target: Qin Fei, dressed in a light blue suit, was chatting and laughing with three men and women while holding a wine glass.

"Manager Sun, isn't your chairman here?"

Manager Sun, dressed in a pink suit, still exuding charm and with a pretty face, quickly raised her glass to Su Li upon seeing her: "Our chairman went to Singapore yesterday, and this time Vice President Song led the team."

By the way, let me introduce you to our company's Compensation Director... Qin Fei.

"Oh, Director Qin, hello..."

Su Li reached out and looked at Zheng Qiudong, whose expression had changed drastically, and smiled meaningfully.

Zheng Qiudong felt drenched in sweat, managed a forced smile, and shook hands with the other person.

"Mr. Su, I have long admired your company. Under your leadership, Suyang Group has been developing rapidly, which is truly admirable."

"I just seized the opportunity and stood at the right moment... As long as you find a good opportunity and work a little harder, you can succeed."

Su Li clinked glasses with him, nodded to the others, and left with Tao Huamei.

The latter also glanced at Zheng Qiudong with a playful look on her pretty face. In her opinion, this man was too bold to pretend to be someone else and sneak into a big company. He was quite cunning.

"President Su, why don't you expose him?"

The two went to a balcony outside and looked at the scenery below. Tao Huamei asked in confusion.

"After all, he's an old classmate, and besides, I want to see how long he can keep this up..."

Su Li took a sip of red wine, a playful smile playing on her lips.

As they were talking, footsteps sounded behind them. Zheng Qiudong walked to the side, glanced at Tao Huamei, and said with a smile, "Ms. Tao, I'd like to discuss some matters with President Su. Is that alright?"

After seeing Su Li's signal, Tao Huamei nodded and said, "You two chat," before stepping away from the balcony.

"What were you thinking, impersonating someone to enter the valley?"

Su Li looked at the man beside her with curiosity and asked with a hint of confusion.

The last time the other party left Beihai, he had over a million yuan in his hands. Why did he have to impersonate someone else when he could do any business?

Zheng Qiudong sighed and talked about the discrimination he suffered after his release because of his criminal record.

"As long as you have a criminal record, you'll be harassed no matter what you do. I've had enough." Zheng Qiudong clenched his fists, his face full of resentment. He took a deep breath, looked at Su Li, and whispered, "You...you won't expose me, will you?"

"What good would it do me to expose you? Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. Instead of being wary of this, you should think about other ways you might be exposed."

Su Li's words put Zheng Qiudong at ease. He frowned and said, "I'm now living a very secluded life. Apart from going to work and necessary social interactions, I rarely go out."

"The lie will be exposed sooner or later. Once two people find out, the number of people who know you and Qin Fei will probably not be just 10 or 20."

Su Li patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Anyway, good luck."

Zheng Qiudong nodded silently, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Yiren, didn't she come this time?"

"She's in Malaysia on a business trip and should be back in about two weeks."

"Shall we meet up and have a meal together sometime?"

"Can……"

After a brief chat and receiving assurances from him, Zheng Qiudong quickly left.

In the days that followed, just as Su Li had said, he stayed home and did nothing except go to work. Zheng Qiudong originally thought that the peaceful days would continue like this.

On Saturday evening, after having dinner with his colleagues and leaving the hotel, he politely declined Manager Sun's offer to drive him home and strode towards the bus stop.

Tap, tap, tap!

The crisp sound of high heels echoed behind him. Zheng Qiudong frowned, turned around and stood to the side. Only after the other person came over did he take out his bag.

"What does it mean to follow me?"

"Zheng Qiudong, it really is you."

With a delighted look on her pretty face, Su Yadi, dressed in a black business suit, stared wide-eyed at the familiar man in a suit and tie in front of her.

Zheng Qiudong stared blankly at the woman, then opened his mouth and said, "Miss, you may have mistaken me for someone else. I am not Zheng Qiudong."

The woman, who was fairly attractive, was none other than Manager Su, with whom he had worked for a long time in the pyramid scheme.

"Don't deny your identity. I've been investigating you for the past two days," Su Yadi sneered.

"Okay, when...when were you released from prison?"

Zheng Qiudong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, calmed his startled heart, and asked.

"last month!"

"How did you end up in Yanjing...?"

Su Yadi walked over and affectionately put her arm around his shoulder, deliberately rubbing against him: "How annoying, do you have to talk to me on the street when we meet? I've been starving all day waiting for you outside."

Left with no other choice, Zheng Qiudong took her to a hot pot restaurant, where they ate and chatted.

"You know how difficult it is for people like us with criminal records to make a living. Someone like me, who doesn't have much education and only knows how to cheat and swindle, is even less likely to amount to anything."

Su Yadi recounted how, after being released from prison, she first worked as a nanny for a woman. She gritted her teeth and said, "Who knew that the old man would have designs on me? I beat him into the hospital with just a few punches and kicks, and he lost all the money he had earned."

"I had no choice but to come to Yanjing to see what good jobs were available. Then, by chance, I saw a resume posted online by Shangu Group. You look quite like that Qin Fei. If we hadn't had a close relationship, I really wouldn't have recognized you."

Zheng Qiudong spat out his cola as he was drinking it, and yelled with a grim expression, "Hey, don't talk so ambiguously. What do you mean by 'we've had an intimate relationship'? We have absolutely no relationship, okay?"

"If you want, I'd be happy to, how about we go after dinner..." Su Yadi winked at the handsome young man across from her, her black-stockinged legs rubbing against his thigh under the table.

"Shut up and eat."

Zheng Qiudong's mind was already in complete turmoil, so he had no time for such thoughts.

"I'm asking you, what are your plans for the future?"

Su Yadi bit her chopsticks, silently watching the mutton cooking in the hot pot, and sighed, "What can I possibly think? I'll just follow you. As long as you give me something to eat, I'll do anything."

Zheng Qiudong looked gloomy and said unhappily, "I don't even know what I'm going to do in the future, what's the use of you hanging out with me?"

Su Yadi smiled and said, "Don't say that. Your status is different now. You're the Salary Director of Shangu Group, earning five or six hundred thousand a year. You usually associate with chairmen and general managers of various companies. With such a good circle, it's easy for you to succeed, isn't it?"
