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

Page 209

I dared not delve too deeply into the situation based on my intuition; it was somewhat complicated, even a little beyond my expectations.

"I told them the money had arrived and I would give it to them as soon as possible."

When the boss said that, his men were very happy, since they had been dealing with these people for the past two days.

They were already exhausted, and now they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, boss, I'll go tell them right now."

After saying that, he happily ran off, and Jiang Tian knew that at that moment he had completely lost.

Whether in his personal conduct or in his work, he was unable to truly confront Xu Lei's inner collapse.

It also made him realize the reality that he had always been so naive and even regarded him as his imaginary enemy.

But now that I've thought about it, I realize how incredibly foolish I've been.

I always imagine myself as so tactful, even portraying myself as a victim...

But now he knows exactly what he did wrong, and that pride has vanished.

He then realized how much of a failure he had been, while Xu Lei was overjoyed and preparing to go out for a trip.

Since he hadn't had a proper chance to enjoy himself yet, he declined Ah Q's offer.

He wanted to take them around to see Ah Q, and seeing her insistence, he could only nod silently.

"If anything happens, remember to call me. I'll be there within ten minutes."

Xu Lei was deeply moved by his loyalty.

"Don't worry, the security here is okay, so I just wandered around to the tourist attractions."

"After all, every time I came before, it was always a rush to discuss projects with you, and I haven't really had a proper chance to explore this place properly."

After Xu Lei finished speaking, Ah Q nodded silently, as Xu Lei didn't want to bother him too much.

Although Ah Q never felt he was causing him any trouble, Xu Lei still needed to have some self-awareness.

Gao Qilan was very happy to be out alone this time. She looked left and right and took many beautiful photos.

Xu Lei knew that she was a complete homebody and would never go out unless there was something important to do.

I was very happy that they finally agreed to come out for a stroll with me this time.

"Tell me later if there's anywhere else you'd like to go. Didn't you already make a travel plan?"

Xu Lei looked at Gao Qilan. He was really happy, and for the sake of convenience, Xu Lei had specially rented a car.

Gao Xiaochen and he took turns going back and forth, and they weren't too tired along the way.

“There’s another Buddhist temple that’s said to be very efficacious. I’m going there to pray for my brother as well.”

Gao Qilan rarely smiled so happily, and Xu Lei nodded slightly.

"Okay, anywhere is fine."

Seeing him laughing so happily, Xu Lei couldn't help but feel pleased himself, but Gao Xiaochen always felt that something was wrong.

"what happened?"

Seeing that his expression was rather unpleasant, Xu Lei pressed him for details.

"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I always feel like that sapphire blue sports car is following us."

"We've already crossed so many streets, and he's been following us the whole time."

Xu Lei only rented a regular minivan this time, which would be more comfortable and allow him to buy more gifts.

Chapter 229 Nightlife

I'll take him back then, but the convertible sports car behind us was too far away to see the person's face clearly.

"It's probably just a coincidence. After all, there are quite a lot of tourists visiting here, and that attraction is very lively."

I guess they had the same idea as us.

Gao Qilan was still somewhat happy at the moment and had no idea that danger was quietly approaching.

With his years of experience, Xu Lei realized something was wrong, so he gave Gao Xiaochen a wink to speed things up.

As expected, Yi accelerated and they quickly caught up, seemingly unwilling to let Xu Lei go easily.

He was certain that these people had come prepared, which truly shocked him.

As Gao Xiaochen gradually slowed down, the car behind her also wisely slowed down as well.

He didn't seem to mind that Xu Lei had discovered he was currently investigating him.

"Who is it?"

Gao Xiaochen's face was somewhat pale; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way after he came here.

To think that he could encounter someone so unreasonable, Xu Lei knew without a doubt that the person must be Achim.

It's just that I hadn't finalized the 17 business deal with him before, and he suddenly came here.

Why was it that Ah Q seemed somewhat afraid of Xu Lei's transformation, and smiled slightly?

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I guess they just want to talk to me about business matters, so let's leave it at that."

Xu Lei told Gao Xiaochen to stop the car first, because he knew that if he didn't get out of the car, it would be bad.

He could only run as fast as he could, and the more he thought about it, the more helpless he felt.

Xu Lei didn't want to waste his time with this kind of beast, so he wanted to cut things off quickly.

Having resolved this major problem, I still need to move forward, so I can't help feeling a little angry.

It's really bad luck to have someone like that around.

"It looked just like you."

After getting out of the car, Xu Lei greeted the other person warmly, without any regard for the other person's lack of manners.

I just want to know what kind of tricks he's up to. Xu Lei is already dealing with this with the best of temper.

Otherwise, he would have slapped him already, and Xu Lei had already sensed that something was wrong.

Firstly, he didn't want to waste time with him, and secondly, since it was his turf, Xu Lei didn't want to make the atmosphere too bad.

"Your driving skills are really good, but isn't it a bit of a waste for someone of your status to drive a car like this?"

Xu Lei noticed him circling his car, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

"It's just a means of transportation. It shouldn't bother you if you're out having fun, right?"

Xu Lei's face was extremely grim, carrying a warning tone.

Xu Lei had already managed to calm himself down and stop trying to do his own thing.

I didn't embarrass him or give him a hard time, but this guy is so ungrateful.

After Xu Lei's words, he gave a cold snort.

"That Ah Q is really something, thinking that he's now in charge of buying things and is trying to suppress me in every way."

Now even you, a friend from outside, are like that.

Xu Lei shook his head helplessly, wondering what he had done to offend him.

"We'll probably only meet once, or maybe it'll be Ah Q acting as the matchmaker."

We've met about an LED project once, and I only mentioned it to you briefly.

"There's neither substantial cooperation nor genuine friendship, so how could I have offended you?"

Xu Lei spoke to him politely, but Achim looked shocked.

I felt that by saying that, he was really portraying himself as a good person.

"According to you, you're completely blameless. You think you can ignore my existence just because Jiang Tian is backing you up?"

Xu Lei could tell he was looking for trouble and could find any excuse.

"It seems you're determined to break ties with me today."

Xu Lei smiled slightly and spoke in a very calm tone. He actually wanted to cause trouble, but he didn't do anything.

He would also find fault, but Achim smiled and turned to look at Gao Qilan.

"It's fine if you don't cause trouble, but this girl seems like a feisty one."

I haven't seen anything this beautiful in a long time; it's indeed well-maintained and looks incredibly lush.

He reached out and touched Gao Qilan's face, something Gao Qilan had never seen before.

Xu Lei was a little scared at the time, so he grabbed Acheam's arm and threw him over his shoulder.

Seeing this, the henchmen next to him were about to attack, and Xu Lei and Gao Xiaochen were ready to take on Achim.

He was thrown to the ground and didn't recover for a long time. He was used to a life of luxury.

Surrounded by a lot of sycophantic lackeys, he felt truly humiliated to see this kind of person today, and was at a loss for how to end the situation.

"I'm here to seriously discuss business with you. Even if we don't reach an agreement, we can still be on good terms."

Even if you don't understand what I'm saying, you should know that I have no dealings with you.

I just wanted to talk business with you, and if you're going to attack me even for that...

I'm starting to suspect that your business practices are a bit shady.

Xu Lei smiled slightly, his eyes carrying a subtle expression, suggesting that they should back down.

Don't get yourself into trouble. Xu Lei's words have intimidated them.

Moreover, each of them had a look of despair in their eyes, unsure of what to do.

Xu Lei's actions stunned them, and they remained unsettled for a long time.

"I didn't want to make things worse, but if you insist on provoking me, we'll see."

Xu Lei's words made them hesitant to act rashly.

"Boss, let's..."

The group of underlings under him, number 130, were all men who dared not cause trouble, so the situation seemed rather delicate.

They had some concerns.

"What are you afraid of? A bunch of brats who spend so much money to raise you, and now you're giving it to me, huh?"

His eyes were practically spitting fire as he finished speaking. Achim had been holding back his anger ever since Xu Lei threw him like that.

Now that things have suddenly turned out this way, he can't even describe how upset he is. Gao Qilan hid behind Xu Lei.

Xu Lei had the ability to make him behave himself, and that would have been the end of it, but now it seems...

Xu Lei felt that he was not sincere and always treated him like a fool.

"I never expected Mr. Xu to be so skilled in kung fu."

Achim got up, dusted himself off, and a glint of fire appeared in his eyes.

Have a great time here.

After saying that, he ran away with his two soldiers.

Xu Lei's eyes remained vigilant, and he dared not relax his guard easily.

"I thought he was something special, but now it seems he's just a coward."

"He thinks he can just come here and yell at us and we'll have to listen to him? It's ridiculous. He doesn't even know his own limitations."

After saying that, Xu Lei shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Alright, let's go back quickly."

Xu Lei's caution frightened Gao Qilan.

Chapter 230 Coward!

"Boss, you're not afraid of them, are you? They're just spineless cowards."

Think about what Acheam said just now. If you raised your hand, he would have run away before he even had a chance to escape. He's such a coward.

Although Xu Lei didn't know what he was thinking, it was best not to mess with this kind of scoundrel.
