We've been on high alert all this time, keeping watch here, just in case you still don't come because of the previous misunderstanding.
We brothers have prepared all the dishes inside. Come on, come on, we don't know what you like to eat.
However, the food prepared was all light and delicious, and most importantly, two pots of good tea were brought along.
We wanted to have a proper chat here.
Xu Lei nodded quickly to express his gratitude and told them not to be so polite and reserved.
"Oh my, you've really gone to great lengths. I was just worried about putting you in a difficult position this time."
If Mr. Li Zhenlin becomes unhappy about this matter again, I feel that you will be caught in the middle and in a difficult position.
So I was already quite surprised that you even invited me out this time.
Hearing Xu Lei say this, everyone couldn't hide their embarrassment. It turned out that this guy still dared to be sarcastic towards them.
In fact, Xu Lei wanted to make himself clear to them, and he was very aware of their actions.
There's no need for me to put on any act in front of myself anymore; I know all the other tricks and charades perfectly well.
It's unnecessary and superfluous for the other party to try anything now.
"Sigh, who doesn't have their troubles in business? These kinds of things."
We both know this in our hearts, so why should we really let all our years of friendship go to waste?
I know you're a very reasonable person. Before, it must have been due to a lot of misunderstandings that things had to be this way.
Xu Lei nodded slightly and was led to a private room. Xu Lei had been to these restaurants before.
Unexpectedly, this restaurant had other implications; it seems it was specifically designed for these guys.
These people still have a lot of influence here.
"This is also to ensure that the atmosphere of our conversation can be quieter."
Otherwise, it would be quite unpleasant to be constantly disturbed by those people, and there is no one else in this room now.
We can talk about whatever we want, and then we won't be so reserved with each other.
Backup 8 (nine) ③ (nine) sulfurous 6 neighbor
These people are quite clever; they knew to lure themselves into this secret room.
You can say whatever you want without worry. Actually, Xu Lei is too lazy to have these kinds of trivial thoughts with them.
I've always been bold in saying what I want to say.
"Of course, I've always been bold in saying whatever comes to mind, but I feel that you've been spending a lot of time with President Li these past few days."
That's because I've become quite cautious in my studies; as for me, there are some things I don't dare to say out loud anymore.
After all, I've learned my lesson in this area before, and I've made a lot of mistakes because of these things. I've learned to be more shrewd now.
I used to get completely confused by these things all the time, but I've learned to be more clever now.
After saying that, Xu Lei resigned, which had already left him somewhat helpless with these guys.
I also knew that there was something more to his words; some things are not easy to say directly, and it's even more inappropriate to put things in front of everyone directly.
Xu Lei had already explained things clearly and easily; if they really wanted to pretend to be confused...
Xu Lei could simply continue pretending; he had neither the time nor the inclination to be sentimental with them, and they could never seem to connect on any topic.
"Why don't you just get straight to the point? After all, I'm not trying to be a big shot."
It's not that I'm trying to show off, it's just that I really don't have enough practical experience. Another shipment is arriving soon, and I need to go pick it up.
Upon hearing that there was stock, they immediately got straight to the point, not caring about anything else, and hurriedly asked questions regardless of whether it was polite or not.
Chapter 335 Signing New Orders
"Hey, is there some other goods coming in? I heard you seem to have negotiated with a new building materials brand."
I don't know if it's true, of course, it could just be something my subordinates are making up.
Xu Lei noticed that they were staring at him nervously, as if they were waiting for an answer.
Xu Lei had no intention of making things difficult for them, and they didn't want to hide anything.
After all, the fact that these guys dared to come looking for him without Li Zhenlin's knowledge meant that they weren't on the same page as him at all.
So Xu Lei nodded slightly, leaned back gently, and his eyes held a trace of spiritual power.
The point is to make them understand that this matter is more challenging and more complicated than they anticipated.
They should be more careful and avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.
“You are all honest people. Since you have all said so, I don’t need to keep it a secret anymore.”
Yes, a new building materials company has indeed been found.
After all, I have dozens of people under my command to support.
I can't just wait for this one project, which is so big. Once it starts, I need to have some contingency plans.
Otherwise, are they really going to rely on that Li family?
Xu Lei was also very polite at this moment, and spoke very courteously.
The purpose was to let them know that they had found another job, so they wouldn't need to use this matter to threaten them anymore.
And it no longer poses a threat, so a subtle expression appeared in his eyes when he thought of this.
I just wanted to make it clear to the other party that there was no need for them to play tricks on me.
"Oh, really? We only heard a rumor, we didn't expect it to be true."
Mr. Li is really getting older, but he's becoming more and more like a child with such a bad temper.
However, we've all advised them that this is, after all, a business relationship, and we can't just break up after so many years of partnership.
Xu Lei didn't say anything, but the conversation suddenly cooled down, and the people around him quickly tried to liven things up again.
Even though Xu Lei didn't want to bring it up, they still had to keep bringing it up to let Xu Lei know that he wasn't on their side.
He also really wanted to work with Xu Lei again, but Xu Lei understood.
Many things cannot be accomplished simply by a few people wanting to; these guys were never going to amount to anything anyway.
Even now, I still put a lot of thought and effort into doing this.
"To be honest, this matter doesn't really concern me, but I'm willing to talk to them more about it now."
It's also out of consideration for our past relationship; you've all worked with me before.
You know what kind of temper I have; I'm not the kind of person who defaults on debts or acts unreasonably.
I'm not the kind of person who's arrogant and conceited, who has to keep talking about one thing. I'm also a reasonable person.
But why did I have to make things so tense this time? Shouldn't that guy surnamed Li look for something in himself?
Are you suggesting that finding a solution should all be left to me, the younger generation? If he really wants to pin it on me...
I don't have much to say, but I already know about this. It's much better and more impressive than he imagined.
However, it turned out to be a bit more difficult than we had predicted.
After saying that, he sighed silently, letting them know that many things could no longer be done quietly.
Now everyone is on high alert and watching closely.
No one would let things just continue like this.
Hearing Xu Lei say this, they knew that Xu Lei was giving them a way out.
So he quickly nodded to show that this was exactly what he thought, and that he had absolutely no other improper thoughts.
"We all know about this, and you must be a victim as well."
The older that old man got, the more irritable he became; we suffered his temper quite a bit.
Seeing these people conspire to come and join him, even shifting all the blame onto others.
Xu Lei wasn't stupid; he knew that if these people hadn't spread the word so widely outside...
Moreover, if they had colluded with Li Zhenlin to cause trouble, their situation wouldn't have turned out this way.
Therefore, I always only believe three-tenths of what they say and listen to only three-tenths.
"So that's how it is. What a coincidence. I never expected things to turn out this way."
I know you're all feeling frustrated and think things shouldn't just stay like this.
But you should also understand that it hasn't been easy for me to get to where we are today.
I'm not stupid either; I know exactly what you're saying and doing behind my back.
Sometimes, I just turn a blind eye.

When doing business, it's always good to leave each other some room for courtesy.
As Xu Lei spoke, he twirled the cup in his hand, his sharp eyes glaring at them as if to warn them.
Don't be a fool. The reason you're sitting with them now is purely to get things done.
Instead of listening to him fabricate a bunch of scripts for himself, portraying himself as such a pitiful figure.
After all, when they were involved with Li Zhenlin, they did a lot of trouble for themselves here.
The thought of this makes me feel terrible.
"See, I told you so. There's definitely a misunderstanding and some problems with this matter."
You need to listen to our explanations more. You can't just sentence us to death like this, can you?
.. ...... ...
I shouldn't have interfered in these matters, but it was definitely because of this that I got all sorts of trouble.
It's deeper than you might imagine, which is why I'm sharing so much with you here.
Otherwise, things will continue to be frustrating like this; we're all reasonable people.
Nobody wants things to keep going like this, right?
As he spoke, he quickly bought Xu Lei a drink, but Xu Lei waved his hand, indicating that he had other things to do.
"Didn't I tell you? Goods are coming soon, so I need to boost my morale."
After all, it wasn't easy to sign this deal with such a big client, so I need to put in extra effort.
You know I can't stay depressed like this any longer.
For a small workshop like mine, such an opportunity is incredibly rare.
As she spoke, there was a hint of a smile in her eyes, letting the other person know that she wasn't indispensable.
Upon hearing Xu Lei say this, the other party naturally understood that Xu Lei was angry with them.
So he quickly made his attitude and thoughts clear, telling Xu Lei not to overthink it.
They were all forced into this situation; after all, no one wanted things to become so ugly.
"Oh dear, we also have our own difficulties, you've laid so many things out in front of us."
I felt pretty bad about it, but of course I know you're a magnanimous person.
We wouldn't dwell on this kind of thing, but we can't; we have to withstand the pressure ourselves.
Chapter 336 Opposition
He's often given us a hard time, and this is all to make things a little better.
We're all in the same boat, so we shouldn't let things get so awkward between us.
After he finished speaking, he deliberately complained, but Xu Lei never intended to play any tricks on them.
They weren't very particular about their work, so Xu Lei, considering this, didn't bother to waste any more words with them.
On the contrary, I think that at this point, it's best to save face for everyone.
But if things were to turn out this way, he would be the first to object.
Moreover, it must be done openly and honestly to make the other party look good.
