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

Page 278

But you must be fully prepared and make sure things don't get too bad.

As you know, we should continue working on what we're currently doing.

Everything will proceed as planned, as long as no mishaps occur.

Our work will then proceed smoothly and be completed as planned.

As long as nothing goes wrong, our task will proceed smoothly. "Someone's blocking our way."

After saying this, Xu Lei was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He also kept everything under his control, all to make things easier.

Now that the matter is finally resolved, the huge weight that had been hanging over his heart has finally been lifted.

After Xu Lei left, they were left sitting blankly in the private room.

"We're doomed now. We thought that as long as we made up with him, that kid would obediently follow us. But now he's really something else."

Is he going to break our promise because he doesn't care about anything, or is he deliberately playing us?

That kid looks like a clever fellow; he must know how passive we are in this situation, and he's just waiting for us to make our stance clear.

Mr. Li understands the situation best, and Xu Lei already has a new supplier.

For them, these were all things that were dispensable.

"If we had plenty of resources from the beginning, that would be fine."

But the problem is that we didn't have much here to begin with, and now they've found a new supplier.

They're definitely going to leave us behind, and we're still here happily thinking we've found some treasure.

Chapter 338 Keeping You in Secret

They want absolute loyalty. We did a lot of bad deeds while following Li Zhenlin.

Although he is young, that young man may not be completely ignorant; he is just waiting for us to express this attitude.

They want us to take this matter and explain it to them properly.

Otherwise, there's absolutely no way they would cooperate with us.

Hearing these words, they were actually a little surprised.

"This kid is so skilled. It's unusual for him to be able to think about things so meticulously. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who is particularly capable."

"Who is this Mr. Li, whose eyes are filled with a shrewdness?"

He also grew up witnessing the treacherous nature of the business world alongside his father.

"Anyway, since we've already come this far, we either have to surrender completely, or we should go back and think of a solution ourselves!"

Everyone was stunned after Mr. Li said that.

"What kind of solution are you trying to come up with?"

The remaining people looked at each other, wondering what he was trying to imply.

"If you want to say something, then explain it clearly to me."

You're only saying half of what you mean, and hiding the other half; I have no idea what you're talking about.

Mr. Li was getting increasingly anxious seeing these senile old folks who couldn't understand the situation.

"They've already made themselves so clear, and you still don't understand?"

They just want our reaction, if we really want to cooperate with them.

Then let's completely cut off contact with Li Zhenlin. As for the future, let's just go our separate ways.

Let's think about what we should do. Let's clear out all the goods we have on hand.

Although Li Zhenlin said he would give us 60% of the profits, have you thought about that?

None of you would have the nerve to ask him for this money, especially since even if he really doesn't give it to you, there are still ten thousand reasons to do so.

Are they trying to fob us off? Do they think this money is so easy to get? Let alone how long this war of attrition will last.

Just the damage rate of the goods we handle, plus the various losses incurred in labor costs, amount to a considerable expense.

I calculated all these hidden costs yesterday, and in any case, my company can't survive, so I'm bound to cooperate with Xu Lei.

Mr. Li's eyes suddenly hardened; after all, young people think quickly.

Xiao Li immediately understood Xu Lei's actions and thus chose to defect.

"But can things continue like this? Xu Lei is still young after all."

Whether he has the ability or not, let's hope he's only in the limelight for a short time, while the rest of us still have to keep going.

After they finished speaking, there was a hint of confusion in their eyes; they were all shrewd people by nature.

I'm afraid this will cause some serious trouble, and I'm also worried about it.

Although Li Zhenlin was an old-fashioned but shrewd man, he knew that Xu Lei hadn't come looking for him yet.

There must be something fishy going on, so I asked people to go out and investigate several times, but I couldn't get a single piece of information out.

"Xu Lei's people are really tight-lipped, especially Xiao Qiang, who has been instructed not to speak inside or outside the company."

Wang Xuhui knew all along that these guys had ulterior motives, so he would treat them to meals and cigarettes in private.

Tell them to keep their mouths shut, or we'll all lose our jobs.

With Wang Xuhui's sudden attack, none of the people below dared to utter a sound, and Xu Lei was very satisfied.

"You guys didn't do your job properly because you didn't find out anything. I don't believe that guy is that good."

"If you can manage your subordinates so well, you must be cheating and shirking your duties."

Those below also had grievances they couldn't voice, as Xu Lei was already quite influential.

His subordinates are quite obedient, so what can they do with the money?

"Otherwise, we should go over and ask him more. I don't think Xu Lei is unreasonable or domineering."

I'm afraid that if we really get into a mess with them over something like this, I'll lose face.

Xu Lei hadn't given them any concrete information at the moment, which was why he seemed a little passive.

But given Li Zhenlin's temperament, how could he possibly lower his proud head to Xu Lei?

So they stubbornly hold on here, refusing to bow their heads or admit their mistakes.

On the contrary, those who were shouting outside were even more enthusiastic, determined to make such a big deal out of it.

Everyone here is a respected figure; if things get out of hand like this...

It was truly a helpless situation, so everyone knew in their hearts that this matter was over.

Moreover, everyone is considering the worst-case scenario, after all, for most people...

No one can handle this matter so calmly and peacefully anymore.

Instead, they acted as if nothing had happened.

"You don't need to worry about this. I'll give him a little more time."

I don't believe this kid can handle things so cleanly, without needing any help from me at all.

They're just putting on a brave face. They think I won't see through their little schemes.

He just wants to use this opportunity to fight me to the bitter end, so I'll show him who's really the toughest.

After he finished speaking, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes, and the people below looked at him with such confidence.

He didn't dare say anything, nor was he embarrassed to offer any further reminders. He just felt that this matter might not be as easy to handle as he had imagined.

Everyone here is smart and capable!

Wang Xuhui took the initiative to find Xu Lei, this time to help Gao Qiqiang carry the documents, and Xu Lei knew about them.

This was also something Gao Qiqiang did intentionally. Xu Lei noticed that he had matured a lot recently, so he asked him quietly.

"How are you doing over there? Are you getting used to it?"

Xu Lei asked with a slight smile in his eyes, wanting the other person to know.

It wasn't that we wanted to deliberately sideline him, but rather to give him more opportunities to develop.

"It's great over there, and Mr. Gao has taken very good care of me."

(Liao Wang Zhao)

Wang Xuhui didn't complain or grumble at all, which made Xu Lei very satisfied.

If he complained about this or that in front of him, Xu Lei would only look down on him more and wouldn't feel indignant on his behalf.

"Mr. Gao is also very capable. It would be a good thing for you to learn from him."

Xu Lei smiled slightly, his eyes also showing a hint of tenderness.

She wanted to tell him that she wasn't conflicted and didn't intend to completely abandon him.

"When will I be able to come back?"

Xu Lei felt somewhat helpless looking at him like this.

"Didn't I just say that I was having a good time at their house? Why do you want to come back now?"

If someone heard you say that, it wouldn't be very appropriate.

After saying that, Xu Lei smiled slightly. Wang Xuhui knew that Xu Lei was joking, so he just scratched his head embarrassedly.

Chapter 339 Unethical

“I know you wanted me to go there so I could learn more from General Manager Gao, but I am ultimately one of them.”

"We can't just stay there and never come back."

Xu Lei noticed that he seemed to have a pretty clear understanding of his own position, so he shook his head helplessly.

"Let's wait until all these things are taken care of."

Xu Lei actually gave the correct answer, and he was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you handle this matter properly. In fact, Mr. Gao has been running around doing all the work these past two days."

He said he would continue to negotiate a long-term contract with Zhang Guo, and that this matter could not be resolved in a short time.

Establishing a long-term and stable partnership with them would also be beneficial to us.

Xu Lei pushed the pen in his hand and nodded silently.

"Yes, we've bought a lot of building materials from Li Zhenlin over the years, but that kid isn't very honest."

I had to invest so much in him, and in the end, the materials I received were all short of what I was entitled to.

If he knew we had other building material suppliers, he'd be furious and give me a piece of his mind.

Xu Lei had already guessed that the guy would definitely glare at him after hearing about this.

And it would have been a long time coming, but Xu Lei didn't care about any of that at all.

Since we're all seasoned foxes, let's not make things so awkward between us.

"Boss, I asked around among the people down there, and I heard that this guy surnamed Li has been instructing these small vendors to..."

He said, "Don't sell us building materials," but of course he knew that; he was just saying it without really knowing.

These guys were definitely not satisfied, so they came up with another idea.

"As long as they pay the loss, we'll help them make up the difference, and it's just a matter of streamlining the procedures."

Xu Lei was somewhat surprised; Wang Xuhui had recently been inquiring about Neng Li's increasingly impressive abilities.

"It seems he also knows that those below him don't truly support her."

That's why they're so worried, and why they have to make such a fuss about it.

Xu Lei smiled slightly, but his eyes also held a hint of helplessness, and he knew a lot more.

Now that we've come this far, it means that everything from now on can be tackled and figured out gradually.

Instead, we don't need to cause them any more trouble.
