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

Page 216

But don't all treat me like a fool. So, while this project has made money recently, not every penny has gone into my pocket.

He sighed helplessly, expressing his profound frustration.

Seeing that Xu Lei wasn't going to have a proper chat with them, everyone could only smile slightly, expressing a hint of regret and helplessness.

"Oh dear, Mr. Xu, please don't overthink it. We've just stopped talking, so I ended up rambling on a bit. Please don't mind."

Xu Lei only gave him a meaningful look, as for whether he had thought about it or how much he had thought about it.

They are all sensible people, why would they put on such a show in front of me?

They've set up a stage for him to be an audience member, but Xu Lei still refuses.

The reason he has been able to grow the project to such a large scale and develop the industry to its current state is not because he was easily bullied.

He was too lazy to let this happen before, because he felt he was still a young man.

Sometimes you don't want things to get this bad, but they just have to contradict themselves.

Xu Lei absolutely would not allow it either, and thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in his heart.

The old man noticed something was off about Xu Lei's expression and knew that these people had gone a bit too far.

"Didn't we say we were going to give Xu Lei a welcome dinner? He's been here for so long already."

They didn't even serve any food, they just kept drinking. My stomach just can't take it anymore.

"You young people can endure this kind of hardship, but I'm old."

Jiang Tian, ​​having already found a topic to talk about with his father, quickly nodded slightly.

"Oh dear, it was my oversight, my oversight! Quick, quick, waiter, bring the food!"

He then changed the subject, and Xu Lei noticed that he hadn't made any big fuss.

I'm too lazy to deal with him. I don't want to get entangled with him too much. I just feel that as long as things don't go too far, I can manage.

He's willing to turn a blind eye, but if the other party insists on doing all these disgusting things...

Xu Lei would never allow everyone to be equal, so why should he have to put up with this kind of humiliation?

So his eyes carried a hint of warning, telling him to stay put.

Don't cause any more trouble, otherwise even he himself wouldn't tolerate his father's words, which made these people much more obedient.

"Alright, alright, let's eat at this hotel. I heard they recently hired a new chef and changed many of the dishes."

Xu Lei saw that someone else was joining in, so he moved on from the topic, even though he hadn't given Jiang Tian a friendly look.

But he also needs to know that he's not someone to be bullied, and that helping him makes him a benefactor.

It's one thing for him to be ungrateful, but now that I've just returned from Southeast Asia, he's thinking of stabbing me in the back.

Xu Lei knew he wasn't a respectable person and that he usually didn't lose his temper.

But that doesn't mean he's stupid; he still wants to disgust himself with this kind of thing.

Xu Lei wanted him to know that this was absolutely unacceptable, so the glint in his eyes was still somewhat shocking.

"Don't try to make things so awkward that everyone loses face."

Chapter 240 Truly Capable

The old man was a little angry at this moment, so he told the other party that they should do things in a more dignified way.

Don't let everyone hold a grudge; it'll make everyone look bad.

Hearing his father's reprimand, Jiang Tian dared not cause any more trouble and could only nod slightly, silently admitting the matter.

"I was too rude just now, Xu Lei, please don't be angry with me."

I can be quite impulsive in my words and actions, and I often don't consider the feelings of others.

Look at the mess this has gotten into! Damn it, I'm so damn pissed off!

He was about to raise his glass to have a drink with Xu Lei as an apology, but Xu Lei noticed that the other party had already lowered his stance.

As a junior, I couldn't go too far, so I also raised my glass.

"My attitude wasn't very good just now. After all, we'll be doing business together in the future."

Let's just consider this matter closed, and not mention it again.

As he spoke, he smiled and the matter was considered over, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And since he could relax a little, his father told them to start eating quickly.

Eat and drink as you please, don't make this place too formal, after all, Jiang Tian is up to something.

He knew very well that his father didn't like this person.

But he also knew that Jiang Tian still had many businesses of his own, and sometimes he had to help him out of consideration for money.

But as long as he doesn't go too far, I won't make things difficult for him.

From his current perspective, everything is just right, without causing any further trouble or problems.

This already relieved Jiang Tian, ​​who knew that Jiang Tian was particularly unconventional in his actions and sometimes felt a little conflicted about the rules.

"This matter was originally meant to be a concern for us younger generation, but it has caused you so much worry and trouble."

I really feel bad about it. So, I'll drink this glass first, and you can drink as you like.

As he spoke, Xu Lei stood up and swallowed the entire glass of wine.

Moreover, his eyes were full of sincerity, and Qiao Xulei's father was also very moved, knowing that Xulei was a sensible child.

"You've never caused me any trouble; it's just that the people around me are too restless."

When the old man said this, he stared intently at the other person, telling him to behave himself.

Jiang Tian felt ashamed upon seeing his father's warning, but he couldn't say anything.

Jiang Tian originally wanted to embarrass him, and now that Qiao Xulei had not suffered any battle damage, he was still a little unhappy.

In addition, his father's warning made him afraid to do anything more, as excessive actions would be unwise.

They stayed here quietly, not daring to overstep any boundaries.

"Since we're all here to eat, let's get started."

My father is one of the people with the most authority to speak on this matter.

After he said that, no one dared to make a sound. They all lowered their heads and ate their food in peace, not daring to cause any more trouble.

Xu Lei saw that he was so excited that he couldn't calm down anytime soon.

Moreover, Jiang Tian is a man who will never give up until he achieves his goal, and that's why he's making all this commotion.

This will definitely embarrass me in the future. Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a little helpless and conflicted.

Knowing what kind of person he is, yet being unable to do anything about him, this feeling is truly somewhat maddening.

The old man could see that Xu Lei's face was not very happy at the moment, and he naturally knew that the other party had gone a little too far in this matter.

Bie then found an excuse to send Xu Lei away to chat with him.

"You did a good job this time."

Xu Lei was a little confused when he heard this, but he remembered that the other party was praising him for lending a helping hand when Jiang Tian was in danger.

Actually, Xu Lei didn't think it was a big deal, as long as he could stay calm and not cause any more trouble for himself.

Xu Lei felt that helping him wouldn't cause too much damage.

However, it seems that Jiang Tian not only lacks gratitude, but also puts himself in an awkward position in this matter.

"You were just off the plane and you're already being interrogated like this. It's really unfair of you."

Seeing that his father had already said so, Xu Lei had no choice but to swallow his grievances for the time being, even though he felt wronged.

"No, Dad, what are you saying? I'm so happy that you can come and have dinner with us this time, and I don't even have to pay for it myself."

After Xu Lei finished speaking, his father laughed heartily.

"Still so humorous."

As he spoke, the old man patted Xu Lei's shoulder heavily, knowing that Xu Lei was a sensible person.

But I can't pretend I'm innocent, nor can I pretend this never happened.

"Even though you're a sensible person, don't worry, I'll take care of this for you."

We won't let him keep causing trouble like this indefinitely, regarding the Mud Snail Village project.

No matter how much profit you make in the future, he can't be envious or greedy.

He took over your Xiaolong phone project before, and he was showing off for a while.

I didn't even care about him during that period, so I didn't intend to help him at the time.

When I heard that you were willing to lend a helping hand, I was a little surprised. Knowing that you are a sensible and good child, I was very gratified.

Xu Lei nodded slightly, indicating that he had not intended for Jiang Tianzhen to die or for her family to be destroyed.

I helped out as much as I could at the time, without thinking of anything else.

"If he really had a way, he wouldn't want to ask me, his valuable enemy, for help."

So I knew he must have been desperate, even though he had voluntarily accepted Xiaolong's phone.

But I can't pretend I don't see him in trouble, nor can I turn a deaf ear.

They've come to me for help, so I'll lend a hand if I can. Like you said last time, Dad, we're all in business together.

"We'll see each other all the time, I understand that much."

Qiao Xulei's words deeply moved his father, who felt that Xulei was truly a rare talent.

Moreover, she knows how to act with discretion, which truly moves me.

I understand that Jiang Tian has some misunderstandings about me or is eager to turn things around.

After all, his project lost so much money, so if he gets a good project in the future...

Of course I'll think about him, but the project in Mud Snail Village isn't just something I'm doing alone.

Dad, you know that General Manager Gao (okay?) and many others are involved in this project.

"If I were to arbitrarily divide up his extra profits, who knows what kind of trouble he'd cause me?"

Xu Lei explained all the pros and cons to him very clearly.

These words deeply moved the old man, who exclaimed that Xu Lei was a person of great righteousness and understanding of the big picture.

I was truly moved, and I understood even more how farsighted Xu Lei was in doing all this.

"Of course I understand, so from the beginning I made Jiang Tian stay put."

But he's still up to no good and keeps making moves, I know you're caught in the middle and it must be difficult for you.

After saying that, he patted Xu Lei on the shoulder heavily, indicating that he understood Xu Lei and that there was nothing difficult about it.

Judging from his excited expression, Jiang Tian would definitely not let this go.

They might do something else behind my back, so I was truly speechless.

He can do whatever he wants; Xu Lei has long since adopted a Buddhist-like attitude.

Chapter 241 Can't Shake It Off

He no longer cared about the matter, but seeing that guy's eager expression, determined to compete with him...

It was truly speechless. Xu Lei was genuinely surprised and even felt extremely helpless at this moment.

"It's really interesting. These things shouldn't have anything to do with us, but this guy dragged us into it. He's not someone to be trifled with either."

After hearing this, he turned to Xu Lei, who already knew that Jiang Tian was neither an easy target nor someone to get rid of.

He's clinging to me like a leech.

He only feels happy when he has to tear a piece of his own flesh off, but Xu Lei has been in this industry for so many years.

Everyone understands this, so there's no need for anyone to feel sorry for it or find it annoying.

So I was speechless and felt utterly helpless.

"Don't listen to what he says later. I'll teach him a lesson after the dinner."
