But seeing that he didn't seem to be messing around, he could only silently nod in agreement.

Chapter 215 Poaching

"I know you've changed for the better, and you're not as mischievous as before!"

"But what parent doesn't worry about their child? I also feel some concern."

"So I said a few more words, don't think I'm being long-winded."

He smiled slightly. Chen Shuting noticed how busy he had been lately and felt a little helpless, knowing that her son was now capable and willing to put in the effort.

He felt both relieved and afraid that he would have to deal with those bad people again.

Xu Lei gave Gao Xiaochen a new idea, and Gao Xiaochen had been gathering information over the past two days.

Xu Lei, on the other hand, was relaxed and content. The new project had not yet officially started, but the project in Niluo Village had already been handed over to his subordinates.

He's finally enjoying some peace and quiet these past few days.

Gao Xiaochen had just left the dinner party and wanted to go to the restroom, but she didn't expect to run into Jiang Tian as soon as she stepped out.

Seeing his smug expression, Gao Xiaochen wanted to avoid him, but she didn't expect that Jiang Tian had already spotted her.

"How can you hide when you see me?"

After saying that, he went up to her with a grin on his face. Judging from his expression, you could tell that he was just there to annoy her.

Gao Xiaochen remembered Xu Lei's instructions, telling him to be patient and not to easily get into conflicts with him.

So even though he felt disgusted, he could only force himself to smile and say a few words to him.

"Oh, really? I didn't see that you just drank three glasses of red wine."

"My eyes are starting to blur. I was drinking and having fun with some friends there."

Gao Xiaochen nodded in sudden realization.

Seeing his smug expression, I thought I'd just give him a few perfunctory replies and leave quickly.

After all, I have no interest in talking to this kind of person any further.

Moreover, they had no project-related contact, making communication with him quite difficult.

"Oh dear, I never expected that Xiaolong's phone would end up in my hands."

"So, I've been really busy these past few days. All these people want a piece of the pie. I heard you're working under Xu Lei now."

After a moment's thought, Gao Xiaochen decided to pretend to be drunk.

"correct."

After saying this, he pretended to hit Gao Xiaochen nine times. The strong smell of alcohol made Jiang Tian take three steps back.

Even though Jiang Tian was somewhat disgusted, he still nodded silently.

"Following him will lead to a bright future."

"If anything happens in the future, please tell me more often."

His eyes held a hint of surprise; he desperately wanted to understand the matter as much as possible.

Don't cause them too much trouble.

Jiang Tian's blatant poaching was something he hadn't expected.

"You studied abroad, you understand high technology, and you're young, so you have a bright future ahead of you."

"If you're willing to come, I can also teach you how to do the Xiaolong mobile phone project!"

The other party then expressed their feelings again.

Gao Xiaochen staggered forward, grasped his hand, and expressed her gratitude.

Gao Xiaochen kept a close eye on her surroundings.

"Alright, thank you for your kind words, Mr. Jiang. Once your project can be sustained for a while, don't worry, I'll definitely be the first to show my support."

Although he couldn't understand what this guy was saying, how could his project, which had just started, not have any support?

He's so happy he doesn't know how to count the money. The Xiaolong mobile phone business is about to be handed over to him.

The profit in the first month will be a very optimistic figure, and this figure will continue to rise every month.

Xu Lei let him taste some success. According to Jiang Tian's plan, as long as he maintained this sales volume for less than a year, he could break even, and the rest of the time would be pure profit.

He still can't understand why Xu Lei was willing to give up such a good project back then; he must have been out of his mind.

So the sense of smugness in his heart was already on full display.

Gao Xiaochen looked at him, who was so happy that he didn't know where to go, and found it a little funny.

He simply advised the man to take care of himself and then turned and left, but the other man felt that this guy really looked down on him.

“Following Xu Lei, what future can you have? I’m teaching you how to be a person now, but you still don’t believe me. You’ll suffer the consequences later.”

After saying that, he muttered something under his breath, but Gao Xiaochen didn't bother to listen.

He casually pretended to be drunk and left, his eyes filled with disdain.

These past two days, Jiang Tian has been rushing from one event to another, listening to the flattery of those people. He has completely forgotten that he is currently burdened with millions of dollars in debt after buying this production line.

For him, it was a triumphant comeback, and he was showing it off everywhere.

Xu Lei remained silent and made no sound, which aroused Jiang Tian's curiosity.

"Go check for me, see what Xu Lei has been busy with lately?"

Jiang Tian always felt that something was off after he bought Xiaolong Mobile.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

He then sent his men to inquire from various sources, hoping to gather even the smallest bit of information.

He must have thought it through carefully, but how could Xu Lei let him figure it out?

His subordinates had no choice but to report the truth.

"I heard that he's been working on the project in Niluo Village for the past two days."

The subordinates reported truthfully.

But Jiang Tian felt that the project was progressing smoothly.

With Gao Qiqiang overseeing things, and Chengcheng managing the entire project exceptionally well for him.

How could they possibly make such a commotion all of a sudden? So his eyes held a hint of disbelief.

"I guess he wanted to take a break. Young people sometimes feel they've been busy for too long and want to rest."

"I heard you've been playing video games at home these past two days."

He couldn't stop smiling after hearing what his subordinates said.

I just feel that Xu Lei is still young, and he always tries to hide when he encounters trouble.

"I bet he regrets it now, thinking he's kicking himself for giving me this opportunity."

"But now that it's in my hands, I can't just give it up so easily."

"Xiaolong Mobile is a good project, but even the best project needs someone with a discerning eye to help it. Xu Lei is too young and still lacks experience in doing things."

When Jiang Tian said that, the people below naturally started to fawn over him.

"It's just a pity that Mr. Jiang gave up this business on his own initiative."

"But this is for the best. If he weren't so short-sighted, how could we have gotten such a great deal?"

At this moment, Jiang Tian felt that Xu Lei was too young, and there were some things he was too lazy to argue with him about.

“I suffered such a huge loss before, and the project in Niluo Village didn’t bring me any benefit at all.”

"Now, it's time for me to have a taste of success!"

Chapter 216 Return to Book

Xu Lei noticed that it was about time.

Gao Xiaochen has been studying the market for the past two days and feels that the situation is much better than expected.

"But if we really see this factory, we'll have no choice but to head to Southeast Asia."

"Labor costs are low over there, so we can break even under the current circumstances."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei nodded slightly, without giving it much thought.

"Since I've entrusted this task to you, then you can help me make the decision."

Gao Xiaochen was surprised by Xu Lei's trust.

“But I’m new to this kind of thing, and you trust me so much, instead of doing some research first.”

Xu Lei patted him on the shoulder, knowing that even though Gao Xiaochen was young.

But that's how people are; they have to take it one step at a time!

Xu Lei calculated the time; he needed to go out in the next couple of days.

Therefore, many things were left to Gao Xiaochen to handle.

Jiang Tian has been waiting for all the accounts to be in his hands these past two days, and he couldn't be happier.

I have a feeling that I will have countless treasures of gold and silver in the future.

Gao Xiaochen quickly told Xu Lei about Jiang Tian's attempt to poach his girlfriend.

Xu Lei wasn't surprised.

"Actually, he took over the Xiaolong mobile phone production line, but even though the production link was transferred, he didn't have many skilled workers under his command."

“He wasn’t originally a specialist in high-tech mobile phones.”

"Ultimately, he comes from the building materials industry, so naturally he hopes to poach you."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaochen realized that Xu Lei's analysis made perfect sense.

"I pretended to be drunk and got away with it. I don't know what he was up to, but working for someone like that is a waste."

"Just thinking about it makes me feel unlucky. I still look forward to conquering the world with you."

Seeing Gao Xiaochen's smiling face, he thought about showing off his skills against her.

Xu Lei was also very happy.

"It's great that you have this idea. Anyway, I'll go abroad to explore the market in the next couple of days. If you're interested, we can go together."

Gao Xiaochen was somewhat shocked to hear this, wondering if Xu Lei was really willing to take her along.

"But first, you have to convince your mom."

Gao Xiaochen immediately wilted upon hearing Chen Shuting's name.

"Don't say anymore. These past two days, although I've been going to work every day..."

"But as soon as my mom sees me go out, her eyes widen as if I'm going out to smoke and drink with others and learn bad things!"

Seeing his grumbling expression, Xu Lei could only shake his head helplessly.

"You have to understand her good intentions. Chen Shuting is also worried about you."

After saying this, she had no choice but to tell him that she would only take him there if Chen Shuting nodded in agreement.

Even knowing that Xu Lei couldn't make the decision for him, he still smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, since you've said so, I will definitely go back and ask for the Empress Dowager's permission."

Xu Lei was quite satisfied with his attitude and smiled slightly, telling him to relax.

"Don't look like a wilted eggplant."

"The situation is still not very clear, but it's already quite good that we've achieved this much."

Xu Lei was very satisfied with Gao Xiaochen's current condition, and the two were even preparing to draft the details of their upcoming overseas inspection trip.

Gao Xiaochen had gathered a lot of information from various sources, and she was just waiting for this opportunity to have a good look at the specific situation with Xu Lei.

"These past two days, you've been helping me find out all sorts of things. It's been a lot of work for you, but it's always good to let you learn more."

Xu Lei was truly relieved to hear this.
