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

Page 241

You didn't even show your face during all this, and the methods you used are actually a little scary.

Xu Lei was not stupid. He understood that the other party was wary of him, so he quickly waved his hand.

"Even if I were to cheat others, I wouldn't cheat you. You are my mentor. If it weren't for your help back then..."

Putting aside all other considerations, they got me into the Chamber of Commerce. I had no idea where I was supposed to be.

"And I know you've been kind to me. When Zhang Haitian was making things difficult for me, you spoke up for me. I've always remembered that kindness!"

Chairman Li was somewhat surprised by how sensible Xu Lei was.

"Okay, you know that's fine. Zhang Haitian has indeed gone a bit too far in his actions."

He doesn't understand the importance of doing things step by step; he always acts on his own reckless courage.

Little did he know how many people he would offend in the end; he learned a lesson from this experience.

Don't be angry with him anymore, after all, he's already in jail.

The rest isn't good either; things have really gotten too tense with him. You're a smart person; you should understand what I mean.

Seeing that the other party had already spoken so frankly, Xu Lei felt it wouldn't be right for him to cause any more trouble. He nodded slightly in agreement.

"Chairman Li, since you've spoken, rest assured, I will absolutely not get entangled with him again in this matter."

I originally wanted to settle this matter peacefully, as you clearly saw at the meeting.

Even if he said the most hurtful things, I never argued with him for a single word.

I just wanted to quietly do my job, but I didn't expect him to be so stubborn.

They keep harping on my issues, which puts me in a difficult position.

I just wanted to live my life quietly, but his actions have made things a bit unreasonable.

Even if Xu Lei poured out his grievances to him, it was still a hope. Director Li understood that he didn't mean to embarrass him.

“I know your temper best, and I will explain the distraction issue to him.”

Let him calm down; he's been staying inside these past few days.

I guess he's feeling resentful, which is why he's been wanting to see you. Have you heard?

Xu Lei had certainly heard about it, and he also knew that the other party had come for free.

Anyone who wants to tell him these things definitely doesn't have good intentions, so Xu Lei always tries his best in these matters.

He simply assigned his subordinates to do it, and had no desire to have much to do with him.

“I know you don’t want to cause trouble with him, but sometimes you have to consider your pride.”

He's not going to stay inside forever; what should he do after he gets out?

You should know better than I how to handle the tasks at hand.

Xu Lei knew that the other party was saying this for his own good, and Chairman Li also wanted him to make more good connections.

"Don't cause so many more problems." Thinking of this, Xu Lei felt a little wronged, but he still nodded silently.

"Chairman Li, since you've put it this way, don't worry, I will definitely have a good talk with him."

And he's been saying he wants to see me these past few days, so I'll go and meet him.

Let's see what he has to say about this matter. In short, I've always acted with a clear conscience.

As Xu Lei spoke, his eyes revealed sincerity, and the other party never doubted Xu Lei's confidence.

They even knew that Xu Lei was always a steady and reliable person, and definitely not the kind of person who would cause trouble easily.

"The fact that you're telling me all this means you really consider me one of your own, so you can rest assured."

Once you step in, things won't be too bad.

Even if it were for my sake, he wouldn't have made things so embarrassing.

That guy is just stubborn; he always thinks he can handle everything on his own, but he's actually a complete idiot.

Chairman Li, what I said was truly out of sincerity for Xu Lei; Xu Lei shouldn't take it seriously.

So he nodded slightly to express his understanding.

"As long as Chairman Li can understand my difficulties, I will feel that my grievances have not been in vain."

Don't worry, I've arranged everything and there will be absolutely no more commotion.

I know exactly why these people came, and I know what they're trying to achieve by making all this noise.

Therefore, I will not take their intentions seriously. Zhang Haitian's reaction to me was simply that he felt resentful.

If he wants to have a serious talk with me, then I'll just see him once.

After Xu Lei finished speaking, he revealed a very subtle expression.

Chairman Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, hoping that the feud between the two could be resolved once and for all.

"I told you long ago that this person would learn his lesson and would definitely behave himself in the future."

What about you? If you keep harping on this, then we can go our separate ways and everything will be fine, right?

Xu Lei nodded slightly to show his understanding. As long as the other party didn't cause trouble, he would definitely not hold a grudge about this matter.

"Chairman Li, you've seen it all from the beginning. I've never thought of doing anything with him."

He was being sarcastic and unfriendly; he kept talking and acting in a way that seemed directed at me.

I gave him everything I could, knowing that I am from the younger generation.

Sometimes, my words and actions are insignificant, and people don't listen to what I say or what I say.

That's only natural, but you should at least give me some face. After all, I manage so many people under my command.

He's refusing to give me face now, and it's difficult for me to manage my subordinates, don't you think?

Xu Lei spoke very decisively, and never showed any subtle expressions.

There was not even any rejection, which deepened the other party's goodwill towards Xu Lei.

Knowing his temperament, I felt quite uneasy.

"Of course I know you're a good kid, and anyone who gets involved in something like this will feel a little uneasy."

Chapter 280 Lost

I understand that you think that way. Don't worry, I've already spoken to the Zhang family.

If he's willing to talk, then he should talk honestly and not always resort to sarcasm and ambiguity.

He agreed to everything; as long as you go see him, we'll consider this all settled.

Although Xu Lei was too lazy to see that Zhang guy, Chairman Li had already spoken.

He couldn't very well offend the other party, so he nodded slightly.

"Fine, I'll do this for Chairman Li's sake. If it were up to me, I wouldn't want to see him even once."

Xu Lei's words made Chairman Li feel particularly pleased.

After leaving the house, Xu Lei, who was trying to build up his strength, remained calm and showed no emotion.

"Hey boss, what were you guys talking about for so long inside? What were you talking about?"

I don't think you've changed much since you came out. Weren't you just about to fight him?

"Why does it seem like you've suddenly changed your tune?"

Xiao Qiang was extremely puzzled, knowing that his boss was a formidable figure.

But I didn't expect him to be so tolerant, and why did the other party call him over in the first place?

Actually, everyone knows the truth, but sometimes they just don't say it out loud because of various reasons.

"It's nothing, the other party just wants me to meet him here, it's not a difficult thing."

I was originally planning to meet him anyway, so please arrange it for me.

The other party was extremely surprised to hear this, never expecting to meet that guy at this critical juncture.

"Boss, are you crazy? That guy is a piece of trash. He tricked us so badly before."

We still have to meet with him now, if we don't tear him to pieces and kick him while he's down.

That means we've done right by him. You have no idea how happy Cabbage was after learning about his misfortune that she couldn't sleep all night.

He made such a mess of our Thai restaurant before, and now he just turns around and says he'll reconcile.

He got all the good things in the world that day, treating us all like fools.

Xiao Qiang's words made Xu Lei unable to suppress a laugh.

"Where did you learn so many slang terms? Fine, I know that in my heart."

But Chairman Li has spoken to me, so I can't refuse him. I need to make arrangements for me, preferably as soon as possible.

I guess that guy surnamed Zhang has been so angry he's practically itching to see me, which is why he's so eager to meet me.

"Since that's the case, I'll give him the chance. I want to see what kind of nonsense he can come up with when he says it to my face."

Seeing that Xu Lei was open and honest, and that he wasn't upset about the matter, Xiao Qiang felt a little relieved.

"Okay, boss, don't worry, I'll arrange it for you right away. This is the boss."

I was just worried you'd get angry over something like this, so please don't take it to heart.

Xu Lei waved his hand.

"If I get angry with him, I'll lose, especially since he's someone I've defeated."

Now that he's defeated by me, all he does is bark a couple of times; I'm too lazy to argue with him.

I have so many things to take care of, I don't have the time or inclination to waste on this with him.

Xiaoqiang was very happy to hear this.

"That's right, boss. I knew you were a magnanimous person. How could you possibly stoop to the level of someone like that?"

Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away. Otherwise, tomorrow morning would be faster.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a day for prison visits, but I never expected that our reunion would be like this.

Xu Lei also deeply felt the impermanence of life, seeing Zhang Haitian standing so proudly before him.

He yelled at himself, trying to make himself look good, but then turned around and ended up getting himself killed. Inside, there's nothing more to say.

Never be too complacent; no one knows what they'll become next.

Before the matter is fully resolved, it remains to be seen who will ultimately emerge victorious.

Xu Lei quickly assigned the task, and to be honest, the other party was taken aback when Xu Lei readily agreed to the appointment. 6

After seeing Xu Lei, Zhang Haitian picked up the phone, his face filled with indignation. 7

I still feel that I was outmaneuvered by Xu Lei this time.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, it seems you're doing quite well in there. You haven't lost weight; in fact, you seem to have gained weight."

Xu Lei's words infuriated Zhang Hai.

"Don't get cocky. Let me tell you, I'm only in there for a few days. Wait until I get out and I'll show you."

Xu Lei was somewhat surprised after he said this; it turned out he was still having such a beautiful dream.

I found it somewhat amusing, but I also knew that things would never be as easy as I had imagined.

Instead, we need to make him understand that everything should proceed at his own pace.

He's not stupid, and he wouldn't go along with this and create some messy situations.

"You'd better think this through carefully. I've never wronged you; you're the one clinging to me."

You act as if I owe you a huge favor, since you started building up my company's illegal operations from the very beginning.

They've gone through so many complicated things again. I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine.

You now feel that I went too far, so I'm telling you to think back on your actions.

When you did these things, did you ever think about how unfair it was to me?

It's because I'm young, and sometimes I do things in a high-profile way, which you don't like.
