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

Page 273

Xu Lei wasn't trying to cultivate a virtuous image or genuinely want to avoid the deal falling through.

Gao Qiqiang, who was listening nearby, was getting increasingly anxious and wanted to say a few more words in Xu Lei's defense.

But Xu Lei's actions have completely blocked any avenues for others to speak on his behalf.

So Gao Qiqiang kept giving him meaningful glances, signaling him to stop talking.

But Xu Lei knew that Zhang Guo had seen too much of the business world, including lying and acting against his conscience.

Xu Lei knew that he didn't have any advantage in establishing a partnership with such a large supplier.

So it's normal for him to want to test himself. If Xu Lei were to say something high-sounding and empty at this moment...

The other party will only become more resistant to you, and may even feel very dissatisfied.

Let's just be frank and open with each other, and be honest with each other.

It wasn't as awkward or unsettling as I'd imagined, so we managed to discuss everything.

Everything between us has been cleared up, and it wasn't as frustrating or awkward as I had imagined.

"Well, you're quite different from what I imagined. Mr. Gao told me to come and see you."

I was still quite unwilling, even though many young people had wanted to come and see me before.

But I've gotten angry quite a bit when we don't see eye to eye, though today, at least I've finally seen you.

Xu Lei was also a little surprised to hear this, as he hadn't expected Zhang Guohui to praise him so highly.

He was simply acting according to his conscience.

"I believe you have seen countless people, so I will not try to play tricks on you again."

That would be truly overestimating oneself. If we can be more honest with each other, even if we can't reach an agreement, that would be a good thing.

There's at least a little respect between us; I know you've seen a lot in life.

The businesses I handle are all worth over 100 million, and many people want to cooperate with me. Actually, I have the same idea.

Of course, I know I'm still young, and talking about cooperation or anything like that might be a bit far off.

So regardless of whether you agree to supply us with these building materials, I still want to learn more from you.

Gao Qiqiang was also deeply moved when he heard this; Xu Lei's words were truly comforting to hear.

"You see, I misspoke. This kid is just honest and straightforward."

Otherwise, we can't afford to offend these bigwigs in the building materials industry here.

Zhang Guo became interested upon hearing this and turned to ask Xu Lei what exactly was going on.

"By the way, Lao Gao, you only told me that this kid offended some locals."

Who did they offend that they've blocked their way out?

That's a bit unfair. If you need any help from me, just let me know.

This kid and I clicked. At first, I was a little resistant, but after chatting for the past two days...

And with this meal added to the mix, I've actually become a little interested in him.

Xu Lei quickly raised his glass and drank with the other person, expressing his gratitude for their understanding.

He didn't listen to anyone else's opinion and condemn himself to death, so Xu Lei was deeply moved and touched by this matter.

Chapter 330 No one can be sold!

"Thank you so much. You didn't listen to the nonsense people outside said and judged me. Actually..."

I'm also a bit hot-blooded; it's not like I'll take any business or money from anyone.

I tolerated his dishonesty regarding building materials before, but now he's trying to control me by demanding exorbitant prices.

I simply can't stand it anymore. If I tolerate this, he'll know that my bottom line will keep dropping.

The next request will only be more outrageous than to remain in such a passive position in the future.

It's better to leave it at that. Let's tear things apart now. No matter how things turn out, I can't tolerate this any longer.

When Xu Lei said this, there was a hint of sincerity in his eyes. He never thought of cheating or lying to him about this matter.

"This is pretty much what I've heard outside. Actually, your suppliers here..."

I have some connections and dealings with that Mr. Li Zhenlin.

I've seen his methods before; he's definitely a formidable character.

Your current passive situation doesn't mean you're weak; it just means that person is shameless.

Actually, I could tell the moment I met him.

This person is not easy to deal with; you need to be careful in your actions.

And how much building materials did he confiscate from you this time? How long can your sword last?

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei felt a surge of hope, even if the other party didn't want to help him.

They wouldn't come over to inquire, nor would they care how many months their building materials would last, so Xu Lei quickly explained to him.

"The several thousand tons of steel we have on hand can indeed last a little longer, but there may be some problems with subsequent supply."

However, this should last for another half month. If things really come to a standstill, my project will stop, but my salary will still be paid.

Losing a little money is fine; in business, there are bound to be things you can't foresee.

I just can't swallow this anger. I also want to create a better business environment for everyone in our city.

Otherwise, it's really uncomfortable to always be held hostage by those people. I'm not doing this out of spite.

It's not just youthful impulsiveness; I simply have some reservations about doing business.

They value honesty and integrity above all else, which scares away all the out-of-towners who come to do business with them.

I feel that I won't make any money doing business here, and I'll be coerced by others.

Honestly, if word gets out, it will ultimately damage the reputation of our entire area.

He filled it in for his own selfish desires and gained all the benefits.

But I can't. I can't swallow this insult, and I don't want to see that kind of person.

They ultimately made a fortune, yet they still resorted to trickery and created chaos in the market. I truly don't understand it.

When Xu Lei said this, his voice was impassioned, as he was really feeling pent-up. Zhang Guo heard his resentful expression.

Moreover, he had a very long-term vision. Gao Qiqiang was afraid that if he continued talking, he would scare away the people who came to discuss business.

So I coughed awkwardly twice.

"Oh dear, Mr. Zhang, please don't mind. After all, I'm still a bit young."

Before, this kid really did stand up for me. I've told you about Li Zhenlin, haven't I?

They had some tricks up their sleeves, so they relied on the building materials they had.

They're pretty arrogant towards us businessmen. I'm quite old now.

Sometimes it's not a big deal to suffer a little injustice, but this kid just can't swallow his anger for me.

This escalated the situation, and he threatened to blacklist us.

We must control all the building materials companies ourselves.

After hearing these words, Zhang Guo did not express his opinion on the spot, but only looked thoughtful.

"Alright, alright, it seems we've talked too much and ruined your appetite, Mr. Zhang."

Hurry, tell the waiter to bring up the fish I just ordered.

Our specialty here is this fish; please try it.

He then told Xiaoqiang to quickly ask the waiter to bring the food, but Zhang Guo waved his hand.

"I've been doing business since I was a child, traveling all over the country and I've been cheated by people. To be honest, I've met all kinds of people."

No matter what, we have to get everything done. As long as we work together, we can accomplish everything.

Don't worry, I'm absolutely not afraid of those old guys. I've had dealings with them before.

I've met him at the salon before; he's a tough character to deal with. Now you're going up against him.

"I'm afraid you won't get any more benefits in the future."

Xu Lei snorted coldly. He didn't care about any of that. All he wanted was a reason.

· ······Requesting flowers· ········

At worst, I can just stop doing this business in the future, it's no big deal.

"I can't stand him strutting around like that in front of me; we're all in business."

No one is more noble than anyone else, but the way he's acting now makes it seem like I owe him something.

Everything has become my fault. Anyway, I'm not going to tolerate his bad temper and bad habits.

Everything is fine as long as it's done properly, but if it causes me any more trouble...

Even if there's a cacophony of howling and screaming, I will make sure things don't get any worse.

Xu Lei has already made it clear that he is determined to fight him to the death.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoyi was immediately impressed, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise when he looked at him.

.. ..... .......

"I really didn't expect someone so young to have such awareness. Okay."

Based on what you just said, I'm definitely going to help you. Don't worry, just do as I say.

I'm donating this batch of steel to you. At first, I was a little worried about it.

You always feel that you'll definitely cause some kind of mess when you're still young.

I was really worried, but after seeing you today...

I am completely at ease. No matter what, I will support you to the end.

Moreover, I have the utmost contempt for those people who flaunt their power and think they have some building materials under their control.

It was as if he was exceptionally powerful, and no one could touch him.

I'm going to break that rule anyway, and show him that this market isn't something to be messed with arbitrarily, nor is it something he can control alone.

Knowing this made me much happier. It's likely that the deal has already been finalized.

I was incredibly excited and surprised.

"You're willing to help us, you're willing to help my boss."

Xiaoqiang was very surprised to hear this.

"Do you think I'm joking with you? Let me tell you, I'm also very busy."

I don't have time to joke around with you guys. Since I said I could help you, I will.

"Then I will definitely get it done, and I won't joke around with you like that."

Zhang Guo tapped on the table with a serious expression.

Xiaoqiang scratched the back of his head happily upon hearing this, and nodded quickly.

Chapter 331 Resilience

“I know, I know you’re not lying to me. It’s just that I’m a little surprised. I have a feeling that this deal might not work out.”

Gao Qiqiang quickly gave him a look, telling him to stop talking nonsense.

"You can see it too, those two are both straightforward and honest, they would never cause trouble behind someone's back."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have introduced him to you. He's just too straightforward, and in these kinds of situations, people easily take advantage of him.

Gao Qiqiang quickly explained to him, and Zhang Guo said he understood everything.

"I've been in business for so many years, I can tell what kind of temperament and personality he has just by looking at him."

This young man is also very honest, probably because Xu Lei is kind-hearted by nature.
