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

Page 283

At this moment, Mr. Li said something that put their minds at ease again.

"That is to say, Li Zhenlin always puts on airs, and his words and actions are always accompanied by the gun."

Chapter 346 Getting Away with It

Young people these days don't care so much about the rules; they just value fair competition.

Choose the company that offers the best materials, the cheapest prices, and the best service. Why bother with all the complicated procedures?

Times have really changed, and we should change our mindset too.

We can no longer live our lives according to our previous ideas.

Otherwise, this great market will eventually be handed over to others.

These words instantly ignited their fighting spirit and made them feel real pressure.

And then they thought about it again and realized it made sense, so they immediately headed straight for Xu Lei.

Having explained their purpose, Xu Lei was not too surprised by their arrival.

They just seemed to be waiting for them.

"I have always admired you both very much, and I am truly touched that you could come and sit with me this time."

Come on, I know you two like green tea, so I specially reserved this for you.

These are not the loose teas available on the market; they are genuine pre-rain Longjing tea.

These are specially selected from the tea plantation; please try them.

As he spoke, he poured them a full cup of tea. The aroma of the tea instantly eased the awkwardness and stiffness of the atmosphere.

Xu Lei has always been frank in his work, and they had collaborated several times before, so they were naturally very familiar with some of Xu Lei's ways.

It's not as bad as Li Zhenlin described.

"Both of you uncles are seniors in the building materials industry. Logically speaking, I should also visit them more often."

But I'm also afraid that Uncle Li will get angry, and our relationship is a bit awkward now.

You should also know the reasons behind this.

Xu Lei now practically holds their lives in his hands, yet he still treats them with respect and courtesy.

I never had that arrogant feeling of sitting high above others, and talking to them was like having a casual chat.

Hong Liulou and Zhao Chunlei were both somewhat shocked when they spoke to them as if it were casual conversation.

I thought I was going to be humiliated this time, and that it was very likely that the deal would not even go through.

He went back feeling angry, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be just as Mr. Li had said.

Xu Lei doesn't have many strange or unusual requirements when discussing business or making deals.

We can negotiate anything as long as the goods are of good quality and there's no shortchanging.

"I'm not one for putting on airs. When it comes to business, let's get straight to the point."

I believe that I must have made a great decision before my two uncles came to me.

They made up their minds to come to me after considering all aspects.

Therefore, I cannot afford to mess up on this matter. I know exactly what to do.

They were all as clear as mirrors, so all the necessary preparations had been made.

Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses.

After Xu Lei explained his entire idea, they were all quite surprised.

They were truly astonished that Xu Lei, at such a young age, possessed such insight.

"I really didn't expect it. Ah, it's just as Mr. Li said, you are very particular about methods when you do things."

There aren't many twists and turns; to be honest, every time I do business with you...

We all think it's the most straightforward thing to do, without considering seniority or hierarchy, just doing what's right and wrong.

That's how you do business—quick and efficient.

Xu Lei, the assassin, slapped his thigh and said that they were in complete agreement, and asked them to find out the ins and outs of the matter.

Xu Lei already understood the purpose of Hong Liulou and Zhao Chunlei's visit, so everyone kept quiet about it.

Lai Yi and Xu Lei already understood, so everyone kept quiet and didn't say anything.

Once we have plenty of supplies, please let me know if you need anything, Mr. Xu.

We'll have someone drive it over to you right away; after all, we've been working together for so long.

As Hong Liulou spoke, he quickly picked up his teacup and clinked it with Xu Lei's.

Wanting to finalize the matter as soon as possible, Xu Lei nodded slightly; they were all businessmen.

At this point, the matter is self-evident, and everyone understands the situation.

Therefore, everyone understands everything clearly.

Not to mention the mess this matter caused before, there were many unexpected circumstances.

They were prepared and would never let themselves be completely ruined by just one or two things.

They were quite surprised to find that they even had to use their own money to pay out of pocket.

If business negotiations could be as straightforward as Xu Lei's, that would truly be a joyous occasion.

"To be honest, we've been in business for so many years, and only today do we realize that all those years of business have been for nothing."

I need to learn more from you young people. Over the years, I've followed Li Zhenlin because he's a leader in this industry.

He has a lot of resources at his disposal, so we don't dare to disobey him.

His relatives and friends, who buy goods from me, are all eager to bleed me dry.

Otherwise, they would absolutely not budge, so I have a lot of grievances to express.

It's incredibly great to be able to cooperate with you now.

Now that we've talked about this, I finally understand: only by doing things this way can things get better and better.

After saying that, he smiled slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of satisfaction.

I also know that at this point, there are actually not many problems left.

Just as the three of them clinked glasses, finished their tea, and settled the matter...

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who came in was not anyone else, but Li Zhenlin.

Hong Liulou and Zhao Chunlei were not as shocked as they had imagined when they saw him this time.

Instead, he remained calm, after all, it was good that he had come and broken through this barrier.

That way, I won't have to go around whining about this again later.

Xu Lei knew perfectly well what this matter meant to him.

Therefore, we must do things carefully no matter what.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find the original address at your company. You two have chosen democracy again."

Although Li Zhenlin spoke in a very aggressive voice, and there was a hint of fright in his eyes.

Their eyes were fixed on Xu Lei, convinced that Xu Lei had interfered and lured them there.

Otherwise, these two people would never dare to betray them. Hong Liulou and Zi Se were just thinking of saying something.

But he pushed her away forcefully, his eyes filled with a murderous aura.

"I'll settle the score between the two of you later, but I didn't expect that you'd already learned how to poach someone at such a young age."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei simply rolled up his sleeves, conveying his meaning quite clearly.

There was nothing to say to her, and the atmosphere between them suddenly plummeted to freezing point.

Seeing the situation, no one wanted to make things too tense, so Hong Liulou quickly clarified things first.

Chapter 347 Atmosphere at Freezing Point

"We came to see Xu Lei this time, and Mr. Xu invited us to have some tea."

Before Hong Liulou could finish speaking, Xu Lei took two gift boxes from his hand and handed them to Xiao Qiang, indicating that Xiao Qiang should see the two people off first.

"Since Mr. Li has come to see me."

"Then you two must have some private matters to discuss. You should both go now."

Xu Lei's action saved the two of them from dire straits.

The two nodded gratefully to Xu Lei and told him to take good care of himself, since they had been negotiating with Li Zhenlin for a long time.

Knowing how ruthless this guy is, I'm sure he's here to cause trouble.

This matter is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon, after leaving the office.

Xiaoqiang handed the two of them the tea box he was holding, offering to send a car to deliver it.

Hong Liulou quickly stopped them from going back.

"We can go back the way we came. But you, Mr. Xu, need to go back and keep an eye on things to make sure nothing bad happens."

Xiaoqiang was also a little worried, even though his boss had reassured him that he could handle the situation.

But he was still a little scared and worried that this matter might escalate and make things awkward between them.

"These teas were given to us by our General Manager Xu, and they are not particularly valuable."

"Please take it back first. Due to unforeseen circumstances today, I'll come over with Mr. Xu another day to discuss it in detail."

Zhao Chunlei and Hong Liulou quickly took the two boxes of tea and left in a hurry.

Now that the meaning has been clearly expressed, Xu Lei has understood.

Just then, someone surnamed Li came in and saw what was happening, and they mostly understood the situation.

Everyone has already made their points clear, so there's no need to pretend anymore.

The scene was cheerful and harmonious, and everyone understood the situation, so they let it go.

So instead, I have a more relaxed attitude, and there aren't so many twists and turns involved.

"That's really impressive. I never thought that I could seduce two of my top generals like this."

But I also need to warn you in advance that neither of them are good people.

Since you can betray me today, you can turn against me another day. Don't think you've found some treasure.

Just because you think everyone is on your side makes you powerful and victorious doesn't mean anything.

Li Zhenlin seemed surprised that this guy could expose all his secrets so quickly.

The main problem is that the two underlings I have are not up to any good.

Today I completely lost face, and thinking about it makes me incredibly angry.

Even though she was angry, she still had to keep a smile on her face so that Xu Lei wouldn't laugh at her.

The frustration he felt was indescribable.

"I really didn't expect this. Mr. Xu has some impressive skills. It's quite an effort to poach them all."

Do you really think you've found a treasure, or do you believe you can completely control them?

I think you're overestimating them a bit, thinking it's great to have them controlling everything.

Xu Lei knew that the other party was obviously flustered, so he thought of interfering.

Xu Lei found it somewhat amusing that they wanted to sell the deal to Spring.

"Look, we could have sat down and properly discussed this business deal."

You have to make yourself look so bad. To be honest, these things don't cost me anything.

Whether I succeed or fail is fine with me; they come to me willingly.

That's because you've already lost people's hearts, so naturally everyone keeps their distance from you, and nothing can be done.

You think they're all just food or something, that you can win them all over with just a few words? I doubt it.
