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

Page 191

"At first, you pretended to be so generous, I thought you really didn't care!"

"They turned around and burned down the warehouse too."

Xu Lei smiled, making no attempt to feign ignorance or conceal his true feelings in front of Chen Shuting.

"Although my goods are not worth much, his burning of them has brought bad luck to my entire Mud Snail Village project!"

"I feel really uncomfortable right now."

"So don't feel like I'm bullying him. He deserved what he got."

Xu Lei drove his car, feeling quite pleased with himself.

I desperately want to see Jiang Tian now, to see what he looks like.

"Brother, everything's done!"

As soon as he got home, Xiaoqiang quickly caught up with him, proudly reporting his achievements.

Xu Lei went over and patted him on the shoulder.

“That was well done. I heard about it on the way here.”

"What a pity, we didn't see Jiang Tian's disgusted expression."

“I told him to stop bothering me; I’ve already tried to persuade him nicely.”

“But he wouldn’t listen. Since that’s the case, I had no choice but to resort to this method. I didn’t burn all of his goods, but I helped him move out what he needed to move.”

"It's just for temporary safekeeping."

“As long as he is willing to admit his mistake to me, I will definitely return this batch of goods to him respectfully.”

Xu Lei waited with a smile, when Jiang Tian came to him seeking help.

Chen Shuting was stunned; she had always thought Xu Lei was polite and courteous.

He is very particular about his words and actions, and he is a man of principle when it comes to justice, evil, right and wrong.

But to resort to such methods now is truly astonishing.

"Don't make that face. I have my reasons for doing this."

"I can't always put on a nice face when I'm doing business, so that anyone can take advantage of me."

Chen Shuting shook her head helplessly. Of course, she didn't think Xu Lei was wrong to do this; she was just a little surprised.

I didn't expect Xu Lei to be such an honest person.

If they really start fighting, they won't give anyone a pleasant look.

Xiaoqiang led his team to do a good job; things didn't cause too much of a stir.

When Jiang Tian returned to his home warehouse, he discovered that the company's warehouse hadn't just been burned down; many items had been burned or stolen!

"Why don't we call the police?"

"So much merchandise was suddenly stolen..."

“We still have two small projects waiting to start, and those were all cables that we managed to gather, but now they’re all gone.”

The engineering department downstairs was extremely anxious, but suddenly, overnight, the goods were all moved out by someone.

They were both afraid and unsure how to persuade them.

It's common knowledge that those in the construction industry often make enemies, but no one ever expected that someone would be so audacious as to set fires and steal goods right under their noses!

Jiang Tian simply shook his head upon seeing this.

"It's like this now..."

"It's going to be tough..."

Jiang Tian understood his situation and realized the meaning of Xu Lei's warning to him before leaving his father's house.

He told himself to be careful, as he had already planned ahead; if things didn't go well, he would have a backup plan.

So that's how it is. Jiang Tian felt a sense of helplessness upon realizing this. However, he was now like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

He was so arrogant before; now that I think about it, Xu Lei must have been secretly laughing at me.

Jiang Tian felt uneasy.

"Check the surveillance footage for me! I installed so many cameras and hired so many people to work the night shift, and what have you done?!"

"They just turned around and wiped out all the goods without even checking on them."

Even if Xu Lei had extraordinary skills, there was no way he could dodge it.

Jiang Tian thought Xu Lei would destroy the surveillance camera beforehand, but unexpectedly, Xu Lei was one step ahead.

It turns out that all the newly recruited security guards and bodyguards were planted by Xu Lei.

“We were just about to hold them accountable after the incident, but they had already run away.”

"I immediately asked the HR department to check, but to my surprise, the ID cards they gave me were all fake."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian lost his balance and fell back onto the chair.

So that's what Xu Lei meant by those looks he gave me back then.

He instantly understood. He never expected that he had planned all the rhythm games in between so perfectly.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but admire him. Xu Lei really didn't know where he got so much information and how he could make things so complicated.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think..."

The people in the engineering department naturally knew that this must be due to his personal grudges, which led to the current situation.

Their engineering department doesn't want to take the blame.

Jiang Tian naturally knew that their intervention wouldn't solve anything.

If things really escalate, the situation will be worse.

"Something terrible has happened, boss!"

A group of people rushed in from outside, their eyes blazing with panic.

"What's going on?"

As Jiang Tian spoke, he covered his head, looking somewhat helpless.

“Someone outside said they were going to inspect the fire safety, so all our projects have now been suspended.”

"I wanted to come and ask right now."

The other person's voice grew softer and softer, and seeing that Mr. Jiang's expression was becoming increasingly strange, he had no choice but to shut his mouth.

"What about people?"

Jiang Tian had no choice but to go out and deal with this first; the commotion Xu Lei had caused was enough to give him a hard time.

After returning, Xu Lei quietly drank tea and prepared for dinner, looking completely at ease.

This left Chen Shuting somewhat confused.

It's unclear what Xu Lei's next steps are.

"Don't make things too bad, after all, Dad has already intervened."

"Even if you don't care about the monk's feelings, you should at least consider the Buddha's feelings. Don't make things too complicated!"

As Chen Shuting spoke, a hint of wariness appeared in her eyes.

Make him understand that he needs to know how to handle things appropriately and with the right timing.

Xu Lei smiled slightly.

Chapter 202 A great man doesn't hold a grudge against a petty person.

"Don't worry, as long as he comes to apologize to me and admits his recklessness, I will definitely forgive and forget about it!"

"To be frank, why would I bother arguing with him? But..."

“I’m just afraid that he will hold a grudge against me for my mistakes.”

After Xu Lei finished speaking, he stretched helplessly. He knew these people's character all too well and knew exactly what tricks they were up to behind the scenes.

Xu Lei just wanted to leave himself a way out.

"In the end, it was Jiang Tianxian who provoked me. If he hadn't been behind this mess, he wouldn't have caused me all this trouble."

"I can pin all the blame on him, and now he feels so wronged!"

"But when my project suffered losses, I felt uneasy about it."

Chen Shuting naturally understood, so she could only nod silently.

"As long as you know your limits, that's fine. After all, I trust you."

These past two days, Xiaoqiang has felt like he's being bullied so badly by Jiang Tian and his gang that he can't breathe.

After the warehouse burned down, Chengcheng kept an eye on the construction team and invested a lot of manpower and resources.

These all come at a cost; you can't just turn around and admit your mistake, as if the whole thing never happened, and call it a day.

All the things that the middleman is responsible for must be presented in detail.

We should all give them a good talking-to; we can't just let it go like it never happened.

"My group of people came up with a pretty good idea. I could hear the sound of them clapping away on the abacus even across the river."

After Xu Lei finished speaking, Xiao Qiang laughed heartily.

"This time, Boss Jiang will regret it. We tried to talk to him nicely, but he just wouldn't listen."

"It's like we're joking with him. Now look how he's going to clean up his mess."

Xiao Qiang smiled and Xu Lei patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, that's well done. You don't need to rush the rest. We need to take our time and play with them."

"Otherwise, if this matter gets too big, it won't look good for either of us."

After Xu Lei finished speaking, he told them that he was just waiting for Boss Jiang to come to his door.

But Xiaoqiang was puzzled, because that guy was completely unyielding.

How could he possibly come over and admit his mistake now?

"Boss, if he doesn't come, are we just going to keep waiting like this?"

Xu Lei could wait for ten days or half a month without losing anything, since he had already vented his anger.

However, if Jiang Tianzhen wanted it, his batch of cables and other goods would have to go through his hands.

He figured that as long as Jiang Tian was capable of bearing the losses from the project, Xu Lei could afford to wait.

Xiaoqiang couldn't help but admire him.

Xu Lei is simply amazing!

He proceeded cautiously, calculating each step with precision, his eyes filled with reverence for Xu Lei.

"Boss, what can I say about you? You're absolutely amazing!"

"These steps led to Jiang Tian's utter demise."

Xu Lei quickly corrected him.

"He won't be left without a burial place. As long as he sincerely apologizes to me, this matter can be wiped clean!"

Xu Lei recalled the arrogant look in his father's eyes today, as if he couldn't do anything about him.

Xu Lei's usual gentle and polite demeanor does not mean he is a fool who can be easily fooled by anyone.

Xu Lei was able to endure the loneliness and was unwilling to break ties with him because he thought they could continue to cooperate in the future.

If things really fall apart, it won't look good for either of us.

But Jiang Tianzhen misunderstood his own meaning.

They thought Xu Lei was young and could be manipulated at will, but now it seems things are a different story.

Xu Lei had never acted arrogantly before, but today was the official start of their war.

Seeing Xu Lei's repeated actions, the old man knew in his heart that this guy was not someone to be trifled with.
