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

Page 199

"Look at this Boss Jiang. He treats things that Xu Lei has already finished playing with like they're gold ingots."

"I just want to see what kind of mess he can make of this mobile phone production line."

A few people felt helpless seeing Jiang Tian like this, and some even mocked him in private.

"Really? I think Xu Lei's production line is really making a lot of money?"

"Didn't they say that he had no choice but to give up this line because he was short of funds for the Niluo Village project?"

"To be honest, we were all thinking of taking out a loan to secure this line, but who knew that Jiang Tian would snatch it away."

"They pay in full, which is something we can't compare to."

Everyone was muttering to themselves.

"What? I've heard about this from outside."

"This old-fashioned mobile phone will eventually be phased out by the times."

"Although we haven't seen any signs of it yet, these things can be updated and replaced in the blink of an eye, right? It's just that Jiang Tian still treats it like a treasure."

Everyone turned to look in Jiang Tian's direction, seeing him still showing off and planning his future life of immense wealth.

Xu Lei stood at a distance; they had no interest in this kind of salon to begin with.

It is unknown who was the first to see Xu Lei, but upon seeing him standing in the corner, they quickly went over to him.

"Oh dear! Mr. Xu!"

The sound drew everyone's attention to Xu Lei.

Xu Lei felt somewhat helpless and sighed heavily in his heart. He had originally planned to come quietly to give Chen Shuting an explanation.

But to my surprise, I was discovered after standing there for less than ten minutes.

"You are truly dazzling."

Gao Qiqiang joked slightly at this moment, after all, he had just made a move on the Xiaolong mobile phone line, and others were quite curious.

There were people asking about things, people watching the spectacle, and people admiring him—Xu Lei had to deal with all sorts of people.

My head feels like it's about to explode.

Since he was already there, he figured he might as well make the best of it. He knew he couldn't escape anytime soon, so he could only wait quietly.

See if there are any other opportunities to get out as soon as possible.

"Mr. Xu, you must have found another way to make money. You have to promise me..."

"If there's ever a place where we can make money or get rich, you have to take us with you. We don't care how much we get."

"Just take us along a little, let us broaden our horizons, that's all."

As soon as Xu Lei arrived, his attention was instantly drawn away again.

Jiang Tian felt a little embarrassed and could only cough dryly to the side, even though he had attracted a lot of attention.

Jiang Tianyi's arrival only made things worse, leaving both sides in an awkward position, not to mention the inner turmoil and struggle they were going through.

Therefore, my heart is filled only with jealousy.

"No, no, no!"

"I'm here today to hear if you all have any new perspectives. I've reached a bottleneck in my entrepreneurial journey, so I wanted to hear your insights."

"I need to learn more from you guys. I need to learn something new. Doing these kinds of projects all the time is getting a bit stale..."

"You're too kind. I heard you recently made a move. Is there anything else going on with that production line?"

"Or have you... heard something about it?"

Some intelligent people immediately realized that Xu Lei's actions were definitely extraordinary.

Xu Lei's sudden sale of this production line must mean that a major move is about to follow.

Jiang Tian then walked slightly to the middle of them.

"Hey, don't kick me when I'm down like this. Mr. Xu, although you are young and promising, you have accomplished such a big project at such a young age."

"But even 1.9 will inevitably have its limits at times, and getting rid of this production line can solve the immediate problem."

"I'm sure he has even bigger projects to make back his money, but what about this money..."

Seeing his arrogant tone, Xu Lei simply nodded slightly.

Others, however, felt that the matter might not be as simple as it seemed.

Xu Lei knew they were all smart people and that he had suddenly abandoned this line of work.

After all, they must have their own plans, so they kept coming over to ask questions. Xu Lei kept silent because the matter had not yet been settled.

Secondly, there are various reasons that I need to work on myself, so at this point I can't wait to tell them about the new plan.

Jiang Tian will probably recover soon, and Xu Lei is going to see him suffer a great loss in this matter.

Otherwise, I'll never be able to swallow this anger.

Chapter 214 Indeed Young

He was so arrogant before, acting haughtily and talking nonsense in front of me.

Xu Lei considered that he should tolerate many things and was unwilling to argue with him about these matters.

But now it seems that Xu Lei only felt that his constant tolerance had spoiled him and made him arrogant and ignorant.

Feeling somewhat helpless herself, Gao Qilan frowned slightly as she looked at Xu Lei.

"I haven't had time to visit you lately."

"Are you alright?"

Seeing that his younger sister was about to talk to Xu Lei, Gao Qiqiang wisely took the incense and walked away first.

"These past few days, besides being busy with all sorts of things, I don't even know where the time has gone."

"They're just busy doing nothing all day long."

"I'm planning to go on vacation to the winery in a couple of days, and you can come with me."

Hearing this, Gao Qilan nodded slightly. Xu Lei knew that Gao Qilan worked hard every day and had little freedom of time.

"Don't worry, I'll choose a weekend day, so you won't have to worry about it."

Xu Lei knew that he had always been a diligent worker, unwilling to take leave, and had many patients to care for, and was also very meticulous in his work.

Therefore, Xu Lei knew very well how to accommodate him.

"If time is tight, you don't have to accommodate me alone, so as not to spoil everyone's fun because of me."

Xu Lei shook his head.

"As long as you're willing to go, that's giving me face. How can it be considered a disturbance?"

"Don't belittle yourself."

Gao Qilan was very happy. He usually liked to chat with Xu Lei, and Xu Lei was very witty and humorous. What he said always made Gao Qilan very happy.

Gao Qiqiang had no idea what was wrong with his sister, who had introduced him to so many rich young men.

He just couldn't find a suitable one, but fortunately, Xu Lei was a well-educated and reasonable person who was also good at business.

To be able to coordinate things so well at such a young age shows that he is a talented person.

Therefore, his evaluation of him deepened. At this moment, Jiang Tian looked at Gao Qiqiang, who was sitting alone to the side, lost in thought.

"How about it?"

Jiang Tian came forward simply to show off his recent success. I couldn't be bothered to argue with him.

I had no choice but to go along with him and say that I didn't know what methods Xu Lei had used in this matter.

However, Gao Qiqiang could vaguely sense that Xu Lei would definitely make Jiang Tian suffer a great loss.

Xu Lei kept quiet about what happened at the teahouse, and also because of his arson incident involving his own belongings.

This made Xu Lei remember this grudge.

Xu Lei's silence will ultimately bring disaster upon Jiang Tian.

"Oh, it's nothing serious."

"I just took on a new project, so I'll be busy from now on."

"I'm taking advantage of the fact that I haven't gotten too busy yet to catch up with everyone."

Judging from his smug expression, he was practically beaming with pride.

Xu Lei was silently watching him from a short distance away, which puzzled Gao Qilan.

Although he didn't know what Xu Lei's intentions were, he felt particularly displeased seeing Jiang Tian's arrogant attitude.

"After all these years, Mr. Jiang is still so genuine. He never shows his emotions on his face. I really admire him."

Even Gao Qilan sensed that something was amiss, but people are just like that; they can become arrogant and always think they are different from others.

"Let him be smug for now, he'll be..."

Xu Lei shrugged helplessly. He had never really taken Xu Lei's current behavior to heart. If he were to really hold a grudge against him, his life would be miserable.

Xu Lei still has his own plans, as long as things are handled properly.

Xu Lei tried his best to hide his emotions and not let others discover his helplessness and sorrow.

Now that things have come to this, everyone has been pondering this matter in their hearts for a long time.

So far, Xu Lei has felt the immense pressure this matter has brought him, and he cannot easily let things go.

With every step he took, it felt as if he were being watched closely, and he realized just how difficult the situation was.

"No matter how bad the situation is, we have to take action. Otherwise, things will only get worse in the future."

Xu Lei understood that since things had already come to this point, if he continued to hide, the situation would probably not develop as he had imagined.

They had no choice but to swallow their anger and wait and see what happened. Xu Lei's behavior puzzled everyone.

Although Xiaolong's mobile phone production line has been moved out, Xu Lei hasn't made any moves yet, which is really intriguing.

In the past two days, Xu Lei has not only attended various conferences and salons, but also boasted to everyone he met about the new project he recently got. His arrogance was so great that even Gao Qisheng felt helpless.

He originally wanted to get a share of the profits from Xiaolong Mobile, but his brother refused to help, so he had to give up.

Looking back now, I feel incredibly sad.

“My brother is such an old-fashioned person. He’s always hesitant and fearful about such a great project.”

"They handed this project over to whoever did it, and now look what's happened! We can just watch Jiang Tian strut around here, talking all high and mighty!"

"Look at these past two days..."

Although Gao Qisheng was angry, he dared not act rashly because his brother forbade it. Although he sometimes blamed his brother for being too cautious and making things meaningless.

But now that his brother disagrees with him taking action, Gao Qisheng can only be envious.

Gao Xiaochen, however, has been keeping abreast of the domestic and international situation these past two days.

Seeing Gao Xiaochen constantly attending dinner parties, Chen Shuting became somewhat anxious.

"Where are you going tonight?"

With the project finally coming to a close, I can relax for a couple of days.

Chen Shuting then thought that she should cook more delicious food for him at home to help him recover.

But Chen Shuting noticed that he was always busy with strange things, leaving early and returning late every night, which made her feel uneasy.

"Hey, don't always think that going out for a couple of meals is like you've gone astray!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, you often ask Xu Lei about my actions, don't you?"

Hearing this, Chen Shuting felt somewhat embarrassed, not expecting that Xu Lei knew everything she did.

"Then you should drink less alcohol when you go out."

Chen Shuting, still worried, gave a couple more instructions.

"Don't worry, it's a business gathering, not a place for eating, drinking and having fun. The main purpose is to discuss projects."

Chen Shuting didn't understand what this guy was busy with.
