Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

Page 271

He has already made it clear that if we don't resolve this matter properly with him...

He will definitely cut off all our building material supply to those few who were originally his lackeys.

I didn't dare to speak for a moment; I was afraid if this continued.

Xiaoqiang was also scared; the suppliers on this side hadn't even been found yet, and the guys on the other side were already about to start a major operation.

That's when they truly harm others without benefiting themselves; that's how these people operate.

In fact, Xiaoqiang understood to some extent that Xu Lei was too lazy to argue with them.

It's just that he felt he could still control them, but those old geezers...

Why do they have to make such a fuss? Xiaoqiang can't really teach them how to be decent human beings.

"If these were a few young guys, I'd take them down right away."

We tried to tell them to behave, but unfortunately, these are some of the older ones.

His eyes held a hint of helplessness as he spoke, because everyone knew what was going on.

This situation can't be resolved anytime soon, and it might even cause something bigger.

So he could only sigh heavily. Xu Lei understood that Xiao Qiang's worries were not unfounded.

I just comforted him, saying that worrying about this kind of thing is useless, since they're determined to come and mess with you.

That's something you can't avoid. No matter how calm they seem on the surface, if they want to take action, they'll go all out to kill you.

"Boss, since you understand all this, why bother with all this nonsense?"

I think if you really can't swallow this, then let's just fight him directly.

I don't believe these guys have anything special in their hands. At worst, we'll fight to the death.

These guys are just taking advantage of the fact that they have some building materials, so they want to make us all submit.

But I just don't want to put up with his temper and all this trouble.

I already feel wronged enough. If we let them lead us by the nose, wouldn't that be too stifling?

After speaking, he looked at Xu Lei with some helplessness, and Xu Lei simply shook his head slightly.

He didn't care about any of that, nor did he care whether the other party really wanted to subdue him; he was only thinking about this matter.

Is there any other way around this?

"You're not as stubborn as you think. You always believe that everything can be solved with force, since they dare to do this."

That means you were prepared from the beginning, so you can relax for now.

Now their small building materials companies must be in a real hurry.

They don't have the resources to compete with us, nor do they have the ability to create such a big commotion.

So now, on the surface, he is standing with Li Zhenlin.

But who knows what they're really thinking behind the scenes? I've already figured out their little schemes.

Although Xu Lei's words offered the other party a little comfort, he still felt uneasy.

I wonder if this matter is really as simple as they think, and that they can handle it well.

"Alright, boss, since you're so confident, then I won't say anything more."

I just feel that we still can't let these guys control us.

When the time comes, you have to act decisively, otherwise these people will only become more arrogant in the future.

You have no idea what nasty things he says outside.

These past few days, Xiao Qiang has heard his men complain to him that the old man is always talking badly about Xu Lei.

The rumors kept getting more and more outlandish, and Xu Lei could only shake his head helplessly.

"The angrier he gets, the more he cares about this, and the more it proves that everything he's doing is actually wrong."

　1.9 He himself knew this, but he was just unwilling to back down. Since that was the case...

Then we don't need to worry too much. You can rest assured and let this week pass by.

We just need to find new building material suppliers and let them see the slightest hint that these guys don't need it.

We told them they would come up to us and apologize on their own.

Xiaoqiang knew that his boss never made a mistake, and he was overjoyed.

"That's great, boss. As long as you have your own ideas, that's fine. I don't want to see those guys so smug."

You have no idea how those people used to swagger around like that.

I still get angry when I think about it now. You, my boss, are able to hold up the sky.

We brothers will continue to work with you; I refuse to believe it will end up like this.

Chapter 327 The Old Man

What other tricks could those guys possibly come up with? The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

Xiao Qiang felt extremely frustrated as he drove, lamenting that those guys were incompetent.

Nowadays, people get envious when they see others making money and want to get a piece of the pie. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

They portrayed others as so terrible and smeared them, but now they turn around and become good people themselves.

There's no such logic in the world, so the thought of this makes me incredibly anxious and uneasy.

Fortunately, Xu Lei was a man of his word, and the way he did things gave Xiao Qiang a sense of reassurance.

Xiao Lan was also very worried about this, fearing that Xu Lei might not be able to hold on.

I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to help.

"Xiao Lan is such a good person. He's just worried that we won't be able to hold on in this matter."

So I've been wanting to come and ask about your situation, even though I told you you're fine.

But he was a little skeptical and insisted on coming over to ask again.

As he spoke, he sighed silently in his heart. Xu Lei knew, of course, that this girl was an excellent person.

So I also asked Xiaoqiang to tell him not to worry about any of this.

"It's because this girl is so wonderful that sometimes I find myself thinking about these kinds of things."

Since we can do it ourselves, you shouldn't tell him the truth, and don't let him worry too much.

Hearing his boss say that, Xiaoqiang, being a sensible person, naturally understood what he meant.

"Don't worry, boss. I know what I'm doing. I definitely won't make this a big deal."

Xu Lei sighed slightly, knowing that many things were already laid out before him.

I can no longer pretend I didn't see it, nor can I pretend that none of this ever happened.

Even though he knew many things and had to be prepared, he still had to firmly grasp this matter right now.

Xu Lei is no fool; he can't let others manipulate him and make money for him.

"How are things going with Zhang Guo's side? I think if things can be arranged well there..."

There are definitely no obstacles on our side.

Xu Lei knew that everything was about to begin, since Zhang Guo had a lot of supplies on his side.

Xu Lei hoped to take this opportunity to acquire all the supplies he had.

Only in this way can one truly gain a foothold and avoid being caught out by others again.

Now everything seems to have started anew, and he feels both scared and worried about it.

It's very likely that this will cause more trouble, but Xiao Qiang seems more relaxed and calm than Xu Lei.

I think Zhang Guo would definitely agree and do it if he knew their current strength.

With so much in my hands now, how could the other party possibly want to oppose me on such a matter?

It's absolutely impossible and I would never do something so foolish.

"Once he understands the current strength of our company and knows how much we have, he will know."

They must be ready to cooperate with us properly; those old guys were really too clueless before.

He thought that because we respected and revered him, he made his bad habits famous.

I still get angry when I think about it. Those guys just think they can act tough in front of us because they're older.

To be honest, the building materials they had were all obtained through various channels.

Sometimes they even shortchange us, it's only because you, boss, care about saving face.

Since we'll be seeing each other all the time anyway, I don't want to expose them.

But they always treated us like idiots, especially those who delivered the goods.

I've also heard Wang Xuhui say that every time he comes to deliver goods to our area, he acts all high and mighty.

We're clearly the client, but we're being treated like the service provider.

The building materials he has are hardly of good quality. If it were us, we could find some good ones.

We immediately shook them off. These people know absolutely nothing about business; they always try to take advantage of us.

My men have been complaining for a long time, so I'll take this opportunity to break ties with him.

You don't deserve to be treated like this. You know better than anyone what kind of bosses these guys are.

I will absolutely not let their petty tricks get to me, or make me lose face, since we've already had a falling out.

Let's make things even bigger then. I want to see what other leverage they have that can intimidate us.

It's like they think they have some kind of key to a machine.

I still get angry thinking about it now; those guys better not fall into my hands.

After saying that, a fire rose in his heart again, and Xu Lei thought of another trick.

"By the way, does Li Zhenlin have another son? I remember he's studying abroad."

He came back a few months ago; could you find out his whereabouts for me?

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqiang slapped his thigh. How could he have forgotten about this? Oh right!

There's also this spoiled brat; that kid must be Li Zhenlin's only son.

She was raised like a precious gem from birth, and the only extravagance was that she studied abroad for several years.

I heard that I haven't been able to return to China, not even after graduation.

"It seems he has been living abroad for many years and has not returned."

Xu Lei, however, felt there was nothing incomprehensible about it.

“Life abroad is so comfortable. They spend a lot of money abroad, drive luxury cars back and still have to get their 257-year-old husband to say something. I wouldn’t come back either.”

After hearing Xu Lei's analysis, he felt that everything was understandable. Xiao Qiang was truly amazing.

One still has to be born into a good family. A sense of感慨 arose in my heart, and those old guys actually had dirty hands.

Then I shouldn't blame myself for being careless in my actions. Thinking about this, I felt a sense of helplessness.

"I originally wanted to have a proper talk with them, but since they're being so uncooperative..."

Then don't blame yourself for making a fuss about this; everyone is extremely anxious and restless.

And we would never let such a trivial matter cause such a terrible and helpless situation between us.

As long as we follow this rhythm, everyone will be able to reach their desired destination.

As long as things don't get too bad, Xu Lei always leaves himself an out.

However, if the other party is shameless, Xu Lei will not let them do whatever they want in front of him.

Therefore, thinking of this, I also told Xiaoqiang to be ready to set up the base station at any time.

Otherwise, my position here would be in jeopardy.

"You know those guys are all opportunists. As soon as we show even the slightest weakness..."
