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

Page 337

But he was so eager to close the deal that he couldn't care less about anything else.

He wouldn't even consider whether these 480 things were part of a conspiracy, so he only had this one thing on his mind.

How could he not know the bitterness in his heart? At this moment, Xu Lei knew that the other party had taken the bait, along with Xi Xi and her boss.

I think that old Pete is pretty smart; how come he believes everything you say?

Moreover, he had quite a few doubts before, but now, after just a few words, he's completely won over.

Xiao Qiang still felt that Xu Lei's phone call just now was too risky and that he should have waited a bit longer.

When Old Pete became really anxious, he believed everything Xu Lei said.

But to everyone's surprise, less than two hours after Xu Lei called Old Pete, she believed him completely.

This is somewhat surprising, but there's nothing surprising about it; it's all just human nature.

However, old Pete is now really anxious for a result, and the Green Home land deal has already been delayed for a year.

He couldn't delay any longer, which is why he was so confident that he could take the whole thing under control.

Now things have just begun, and no one has yet predicted how things will unfold step by step.

They had completely seized control of everything he had, which allowed Xu Lei to exploit this opening.

"So if you really want to accomplish something, never show it on your face."

You must keep it to yourself, otherwise, once everyone sees through it, they will easily be taken advantage of.

That's exactly how you are right now. I've got old Pete figured out; I know how anxious he is right now.

I reckon Hong Xinxin can guess about 70-80% of it, but even if she does, it won't be of much use.

Gao Qiqiang felt his legs go weak when he heard this; the risk involved was simply too great.

But Xu Lei actually dared to do it, which was somewhat beyond its expectations.

"You're really bold. Just hearing this makes my heart pound uncontrollably. Quickly, get my heart medication out."

Gao Qiqiang felt that he was becoming increasingly unable to understand Xu Lei after all this time.

He felt that this guy was really beyond his expectations, and the confidence he had was quite surprising.

If Gao Qiqiang hadn't had some prior contact with him, he would have thought Xu Lei was being far too audacious.

"I'm starting to worry about you now, it really shocks me every time I hear it."

After he finished speaking, only a hint of worry and fear remained in his eyes.

The whole thing might be beyond their expectations and imagination; frankly, they had only met once.

But now everything is much more dangerous than predicted.

Gao Qiqiang was somewhat shocked that things could be handled so directly and blatantly.

It seems that Xu Lei really does things in unconventional ways.

"Old Pete knew we would send it, but he didn't want the money he offered."

I tried talking to him nicely, but he wouldn't listen. So I had no choice but to resort to this very illegal method, which won't cause any harm at all.

Chapter 479 Arrogance

Old Pete felt confident of victory and believed he would not suffer any further setbacks, and he was already in a smug and self-satisfied state.

I have a feeling that everything that happened this time was due to perfect timing, favorable location, and harmonious relationships.

Everything proceeded according to their plan.

"Xu Lei is still a bit young. No matter how great his abilities are."

"But this time he still can't escape the trap I set for him. As long as you can take over the Green Home land, you'll be a hero."

Old Pete was saying these words to comfort Hong Xinxin, but only Hong Xinxin knew in her heart that Xu Lei was not genuinely cooperating this time.

But after her own reminder, Hong Xinxin knew that no matter what she said to Old Pete at this point, he wouldn't believe her.

They wouldn't even listen anymore, they would just ignore it. Thinking about this, I felt a little lost, and I felt that everything I did was a bit superfluous.

I can no longer move the other person's heart; I just feel that everything is beyond my imagination.

After much thought, I felt a little desolate inside.

"You don't need to look at me like that. Do you think I'm not as smart as Xu Lei, or do you really think you've fallen for that kid?"

"That kid is indeed quite handsome, but don't forget who helped you get to where you are today?"

"If you had any ideas or ideals, you wouldn't have been put in this position. You're arrogant and conceited."

After saying that, old Pete just gave a cold snort and left her alone.

Everything Xu Lei did went very smoothly, which surprised him. Many things had already reached this point.

Logically, it should have been a simple problem to solve, so how did I end up spoiling myself to this extent?

The more Xu Lei thought about it, the more strange it seemed. He hadn't taken it to heart at first, from the moment he entered the room until now.

Xu Lei had a clear understanding of Old Pete's temperament and personality, and knew that he was too arrogant.

Moreover, he doesn't care about anything, let alone in today's situation, where he is looking at each other with an arrogant attitude.

He only hoped that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible, at least without leaving everyone stranded. This was what surprised and shocked him.

“In the past, I always noticed many problems and was no longer able to refuse easily.”

"But now I understand that even if everyone puts their heart into it and tries their best to deal with things calmly, it is impossible to protect everyone."

"In that case, we'll just have to look after ourselves first."

Gao Qiqiang knew that Xu Lei was really going all out this time to help him accomplish this task.

· ······Requesting flowers· ········

Gao Qiqiang was extremely grateful. He knew that if Xu Lei hadn't personally intervened, he would likely have been trapped on the spot.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous and anxious.

Knowing how difficult it was for Xu Lei to reach this position, she sensed a hint of difficulty and helplessness in him.

After all, this matter was ultimately more likely to end badly for them, and it also carried a hint of fear and challenge.

.... ........ 0

This matter surprised and worried them a little.

"Don't just focus on this one thing. I think by now they must have a lot of leverage over them."

"That's why we're so indifferent to this matter."

Xu Lei knew in his heart that he must not let his guard down at this time.

Otherwise, others will have leverage over you, and by then you won't be able to escape.

But it was too late. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, realizing that this matter was related to him.

Since Xu Lei has decided to help and get involved in this matter, he should help to the end.

Gao Qiqiang was at a loss for words. Xu Lei had really helped him a great deal this time.

And nothing went wrong; old Pete is ruthless.

Chapter 480 What a huge twist!

Gao Qiqiang realized from the beginning that Xu Lei was risking his life to help him.

"We really owe this to your help. Only you, Xu Lei, could come up with such a solution. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known."

Gao Qiqiang looked at Xu Lei with gratitude, as if he were his savior.

Seeing that he was about to say something touching, Xu Lei quickly stopped him.

"This matter is not finished yet. You can thank me for '480' after it is done."

"I've asked you for help many times before, and you always agreed without hesitation. This time, consider it me repaying a favor. Otherwise, I'd feel bad if I kept owing you money."

After saying that, he chuckled sheepishly.

This was far more shocking to them than they had imagined, but so far they hadn't considered many of the implications and were simply taking it one step at a time.

Therefore, Xu Lei never took this matter too seriously.

“These are all easy little things, and besides, it’s just asking you to come and help out. Why are you acting like you’re about to die?”

"It's as if I want to have complete control over this matter. I know that there are many problems now, and I can no longer give you any more room for maneuver."

"But now I'm doing this with a huge burden on my shoulders, and everyone has their own interests to play."

"I am already very grateful that you have helped me this much. I will not say anything more, and I will not mention it again."

Gao Qiqiang was naturally very grateful, knowing that if Xu Lei hadn't been willing to help, he wouldn't have been able to resolve the matter so easily.

At this point, they might still be being led around by the nose by old Pete, and that would be a real disaster.

So when Xu Lei thought about this, he felt a bit overwhelmed and speechless, and he felt that things were not going to be handled well.

Xu Lei smiled slightly and understood that he had to sit firmly on this matter and muster all his courage to handle it cleanly.

"Don't overthink it. I've seen things clearly. The more you think, the harder it is to handle."

"It would be better if we handled this quietly and discreetly. Your constant thank yous are making me a little scared."

"Besides, I haven't done you any great favors, yet you act as if you owe me a huge debt of gratitude."

After they finished speaking, they both laughed heartily, although everyone remained polite to each other...

Xu Lei knew, of course, that this matter could not be resolved in just a few words.

Old Pete was still immersed in the image of Xu Lei having submitted to him, and he instructed Hong Xinxin to dress up nicely tomorrow and make sure she could win Xu Lei over.

But only Hong Xinxin knew in her heart that old Pete would definitely suffer a great loss tomorrow.

So after thinking it over, even at the risk of being scolded, he still whispered a reminder.

"Mr. Pete."

"You might think I'm short-sighted if I say anything now, but I still want to remind you that this matter is not as simple as you imagine."

"Xu Lei must know something about 1.9, which is why he's talking nonsense to you at this critical juncture."

"After all this discussion, think about it, given his personality, how could he possibly chat with you here for so long, or even be willing to meet with me?"

"He guessed my identity from the very beginning. Since he guessed my identity, he should have been completely oblivious to me. So why did he insist on meeting me again? The details make it clear if you think about them carefully."

Chapter 481 Please Let Me Go

Hong Xinxin's tone revealed a hint of despair.

I just hope this old guy can wake up and stop indulging in this beautiful dream.

He himself felt that he didn't have such good luck.

But despite the coincidence, the old man became increasingly confused as he got older, always thinking that he had taken advantage of Xu Lei.

Little did they know they were falling into Xu Lei's trap.

"Do you think I'm senile, or do you think I'm not as smart as Xu Lei anymore, and that every decision I make is wrong?"

"Xu Lei naturally discovered your identity today, but I also noticed his lecherous gaze fixed on you."

"He's still young after all, and he's bound to be a bit impulsive in some things, especially when he sees your pitiful little face. Any man would be tempted."

"As a man, I understand this even better, so you don't need to be humble or feel unworthy."

"Since I've assigned you to this task, just do it well. I won't treat you unfairly after you succeed. Haven't you always wanted to quit?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Xinxin's eyes lit up; he never wanted to become someone else's leverage again.

I didn't want to do this kind of thing again. I thought the other party still wouldn't agree this time, but I didn't expect Old Pete to bring it up.

This shows how important the land of his green home is to him.

"It's something I've always wanted to do..."

Hong Xinxin didn't hide it; instead, she silently nodded in agreement, as long as the other party would let her off the hook.

He accepted it calmly, as long as he could get all the tasks at hand done.

He felt that everything would go as he wished.
