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

Page 292

Gao Qiqiang constantly advised Xu Lei not to make things too ugly for everyone in this matter.

"Mr. Zhang, you've been here for so long, you must be able to tell what kind of person Xu Lei is at a glance."

Of course he knew that people become more concerned about their image as they get older, so he had long been prepared for this kind of thing.

"I will definitely handle things properly."

Zhang Guo nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, knowing full well that Xu Lei would handle the matter swiftly and efficiently.

However, he hadn't expected Xu Lei to be so decisive and efficient; it was quite beyond his expectations.

1.9

So he was incredibly surprised, and even felt that many things were far more shocking than he had imagined.

"This matter was handled so quickly, which really exceeded my expectations. I had thought about it at first."

Although I'll help out whenever I can, the raw materials are ultimately all in my own hands.

I didn't lose much money, but I really didn't expect Xu Lei to impress me these days.

"There aren't many kids with his brains anymore. You really have a good eye for people."

After saying that, she gave him a look of great approval, pleased to hear someone praise him like that.

Xu Lei was even happier than if he had been praised, and Gao Qiqiang also nodded with a grin.

"Ah Lai was in a bit of a rush this time. Next time you come here, Xu Lei and I will make sure to prepare delicious food and wine for you."

Chapter 361 The Struggle Begins

Zhang Guo nodded slightly, knowing that they were in a difficult situation and that he didn't want to cause them any more trouble.

So once he knew the matter was resolved, he could leave with peace of mind.

It's best to let them handle the rest themselves.

I have complete confidence in them, and I understand many things.

Li Zhenlin looked at the invitation on the table, still not quite understanding the intricacies of their place.

He was stunned for a long time until his brothers below called him, which brought him back to his senses.

"Should we go to the boss's invitation or not? He probably already knows pretty much everything about it."

"The two brothers are back; they say they have something to tell you."

The men below were also afraid, so they spoke cautiously, constantly watching their boss's expression.

I'm afraid that if I go too far with this, it will make everyone look bad.

Therefore, his melancholy deepened, even though he had thought that the struggle with Xu Lei would end soon.

I thought the struggle with Xu Lei would end quickly, but it was just the beginning of the real show.

Therefore, many things have given them different ideas and impulses.

Although they were all prominent figures, they ultimately understood that they couldn't control everything.

Unable to truly obtain what he wanted, Li Zhenlin could only manage a bitter smile.

"I never expected this. I thought I had everyone figured out perfectly."

Little did I know that behind this whole affair, they had already dug a pit, waiting for me to fall into it.

I thought they'd cleaned up his entire shipment. What were his men doing?

Li Zhenlin seemed to be extremely angry at this moment, and the people below were still confused about what was going on.

They were stunned by the sudden scolding.

"Mr. Li, those were all done by our most trusted brothers. Don't worry, there's absolutely no chance of a traitor."

Li Zhenlin took a deep breath; he certainly didn't suspect there was a traitor involved.

Instead, they suspect that the vehicle that actually caught fire wasn't transporting building materials at all.

It was a smokescreen put out by Xu Lei to cover their tracks, and those bunch of incredibly stupid guys hadn't even noticed it yet.

I need Xu Lei to tell me the answer to this mystery.

"I said, why has he been so calm these days? He doesn't seem anxious or upset at all."

I still can't understand why, but now I know the root of it all is here. Were you guys actually spies hired by the other side?

Li Zhenlin smiled helplessly, but the people below were terrified.

Li Zhenlin's style of doing things is extremely ruthless, and his subordinates have witnessed his cruelty firsthand.

He knew the scenes of dealing with traitors, so he was familiar with anything related to undercover agents or traitors.

They were so frightened they ran away in a panic and hurriedly tried to explain.

"It's impossible that we watched the entire shipment burn before we left."

As for what exactly was in that shipment, we were afraid of getting too close.

"In case something unexpected happens, I didn't continue following them, I just watched from a distance. Could it be that the goods weren't what they seemed?"

The people below seemed to realize what was happening only then, but it was too late.

Xu Lei's victory is assured; he not only won hearts and minds but also suffered no losses whatsoever.

"I had planned this for so long and thought everything was foolproof."

I always thought I could handle things cleanly and efficiently, but it turns out it was all just my imagination! Hahahaha!

Seeing Mr. Li suddenly laugh like that, the people below were quite startled.

I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Li, and they were all just following instructions.

No one expected such a dramatic turn of events.

The worries in my heart are secondary; what I fear more is that they might use the words to get rid of them.

So these people were terrified that they immediately knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with pleading for help.

"Get up. Xu Lei is impressive. I have to admire him just for this incident."

At first, I thought he was just a small fry, easy to deal with, but now it seems I was oversimplifying things.

He's not only capable, but also incredibly resourceful—the kind of resourcefulness that most people couldn't even conceive of.

Those below dared not utter a sound upon hearing this, after all, they had just made such a grave mistake.

No one dared to be the first to confront them at this time, and after they went outside, these people were so frightened that their legs went weak.

They knew that Xu Lei was able to return this time, that he had accurately predicted their route, and that he could strike precisely every time.

These guys were quite frightened; they really didn't know why Xu Lei had such extraordinary abilities.

"He really could have predicted all of this so accurately, it can't be."

Xu Lei's move quickly spread throughout the industry, and everyone was amazed by his actions.

Zhao Chunlei was somewhat surprised after hearing the whole story. He had been called to the villa by Li Zhenlin.

When pressed about this matter, they genuinely knew absolutely nothing about it, and that Xu Lei had orchestrated such a massive scheme behind the scenes.

So when he learned the whole story, his eyes widened in surprise.

I don't know how to describe my feelings right now; I just feel incredibly surprised.

　297 felt that he was a business genius and that working for him would be no problem at all.

Xu Lei quickly established a foothold here and assisted everyone.

To get them to genuinely continue working with me, regardless of what happened before.

Whether Xu Lei has truly subdued them all remains to be seen, based solely on his current actions.

No one dared to cause trouble under his nose anymore.

"This is a brilliant idea, and he can predict everyone's actions."

The trick of substituting one thing for another is something we could never learn in several lifetimes.

Zhao Chunlei was also shocked, and Xiao Li was stunned for a whole day after learning about it.

No one expected Xu Lei to be so methodical in his work, especially since they were all around the same age.

Even though she was a few years older than him, she didn't know why she saw in him a kind of ambition and scheming that she had never had before.

"It's not just that he has the means, but more importantly, Xu Lei is able to calculate everything so accurately and ruthlessly."

Mr. Li spent the whole day rambling on about this matter, still unable to clearly articulate the differences in his heart.

Moreover, he was utterly astonished by the whole story.

They even sighed deeply, always thinking that none of these things had anything to do with him.

Chapter 362 A Good Beginning and a Good Ending

But little did they know that a price had already been secretly set.

Xu Lei was still playing games in his office, while Xiao Qiang had already taken care of everything.

"The boss's invitation has been sent out, and the news has spread all over the place."

There's a huge commotion outside, and many people want to see you, especially those few who escaped from Li Zhenlin's control.

They're thinking of inviting you to dinner together, what do you think? That's a good arrangement, I was thinking of them.

These guys are definitely up to no good, but we can't just give up such a great opportunity.

They must be planning to come back and express their determination again, after all, they did so before.

"His past misdeeds behind our backs are well-documented; this time it's probably for real."

Xu Lei didn't care at all.

"Can't you see through this incident what all that so-called authority is all about?"

That's based on the premise that you have to be capable for them to believe in you.

If you become strong, you will naturally have followers; otherwise, you will always try to rely on rehashing old ideas to maintain your position.

That's just wishful thinking. The reason they all suddenly came to visit me is because they found out.

I won this battle with Li Zhenlin, so I'm busy and people keep coming over to ask me for intelligence.

Listen to my opinion: actually, after figuring these things out, I find them quite boring.

Xu Lei saw through everything very clearly, which made Xiao Qiang think that they were all opportunists.

Now that we've become strong and powerful, let's just win over all these opportunists and turn them into our own resources.

"It's not that easy. Just you wait and see. The real kindness is yet to come."

Since they dared to betray Li Zhenlin, why would I expect them to be loyal to me?

We just kept to ourselves for appearances, so I didn't take these things too seriously.

Let them do whatever they want. Since they want to see me, then let's get it built.

Set a time for them, and I will show up as promised.

Although there was a hint of dejection in Xu Lei's words, Xiao Qiang didn't care.

I felt that their victory in this battle was such a pleasant surprise, so I was very happy.

Regardless, they are now truly able to stand here.

They can also have complete control over everything, which makes them stronger than many others.

Gao Xiaochen enthusiastically reviewed the matter with Xu Lei again, but Xu Lei didn't have many thoughts.

I just feel that these are all things of the past, and it would be really meaningless to keep displaying these old things from the past.

"We need to create new glories. The past is the past. Let's not always act like we've never seen the world before."

Xu Lei was well aware of what these guys had done.

So he was furious with Li Zhenlin and didn't dare to say a word. But Xu Lei wasn't entirely confused.

His thoughts were already shaped in his mind, but he hesitated due to various considerations.

I'm embarrassed to say it, but I already had Xiaoqiang send out all the invitations.
