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

Page 185

"Let's see what he really means. Otherwise, if this drags on, the situation won't be optimistic."

Instead of being on tenterhooks, Xu Lei should face the situation head-on and see what his little scheme is all about. Once he understands it, he won't panic or feel afraid.

"That's good! Let Xiaoqiang go with you."

Xu Lei shook his head.

After all, it was their idea that came first, and neither side brought anyone with them, so it was just the three of them together.

"It's just me, Gao Qiqiang, and Jiang Tian. The three of us can have some tea and chat casually in a teahouse without any major arguments."

After saying this, they both understood each other better, and there was no more scheming or backstabbing, nor any foolish moves made after careful consideration.

"That's really strange!"

"I always thought this would be more difficult than I predicted, but now it seems that the project in Niluo Village is in our hands."

"It even seems a bit unbelievable to me."

Chengcheng felt a heavy responsibility as she held the project in her hands, not only because she was responsible for it.

It feels like everyone has been working on the Mud Snail Village project for so long.

The struggle, both overt and covert, has never stopped, but I never expected that the real battle would unfold so quickly.

He was also very surprised.

"Anyway, I've got you there to oversee the project, and you have a trustworthy team working with you, so I'm at ease..."

Chengcheng felt good to be trusted again. Xu Lei quickly packed his things and prepared to drive over to check the situation.

But Xiaoqiang had a feeling that something was wrong...

"Boss, I think Jiang Tian should call you over."

What if they get back at you?

"I think I'll go with you. I'll feel more at ease if you come with me."

If you take advantage of his fierce expression and follow him, you might get into a fight over a few words.

If the conflict escalates, that would be bad.

"I know Jiang Tian well. Even if he has a lot of ruthless thoughts behind his back, he will never let you feel it on his face!"

"So if you seize on this weakness of his and have a good talk with him, things won't become so complicated."

"I'm not stupid. If I really saw that the situation was not good, I would have been the first to run away."

Xu Lei finished speaking and laughed heartily, but Xiao Qiang looked embarrassed and couldn't laugh.

He always felt that the situation was much more dangerous than predicted, and he dared not let his boss go to the banquet alone so easily.

“I crawled up from that ground too. Do you think that brat Jiang Tian can touch me?”

· ······Requesting flowers· ········

"Moreover, things have just begun. If we don't reach an agreement with Jiang Tian, ​​it will be impossible to proceed with this project with caution from the start."

Gao Qiqiang called again to urge him on, so Xu Lei grabbed his car keys and set off immediately, a hint of caution in his eyes.

The Hongyun Tea House had long been emptied of people, and the place looked so deserted.

Xu Lei felt a chill run down his back.

Jiang Tian drove here specifically for this trip. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, someone came over to take his car keys and offered to park his car for him.

Without thinking much, Xu Lei tossed the key over.

"You'd better be careful where you park Mr. Xu's car."

A familiar accent came through.

Xu Lei turned around and saw Jiang Tian already standing behind him. Xu Lei put on a warm and enthusiastic smile.

. . 0

"Oh, Mr. Jiang, how could we trouble you to wait for us at the door in person?"

Jiang Tian stepped forward and touched his hand through the sunglasses.

He couldn't figure out what the man was thinking behind his back, a feeling that was truly terrifying and made him feel that something was not quite right.

"Oh, it's so kind of you to grace us with your presence."

"I heard you recently took on this big project, so I asked Gao Qiqiang to help me make connections."

"Let's have a good chat among ourselves. To be honest, the whole city is only so big!"

"We see each other all the time, and if we make things ugly over a project, who knows what the consequences will be."

Xu Lei thought his words were very eloquent, but his character was lacking.

Even though Xu Lei harbored resentment, he still smiled slightly on the surface, seemingly pretending not to care.

"That's that's..."

When Xu Lei entered, he found that Gao Qiqiang was already seated and had made tea for each of them.

"This Longjing tea was just picked before the rain. It tastes amazing. Come and try it quickly!"

Gao Qiqiang got a share of the profits in the Niluo Village project, although the specific division rules have not yet been finalized.

But Gao Qiqiang felt much better than Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian had gone to great lengths but gained nothing; how could he not be upset?

After all, he's been working on projects for so many years, and he's finally landed such a big project. He'd better make a quick buck out of it.

Jiang Tian felt uncomfortable and unwell all over.

Chapter 193 Discussing Matters Over Tea

"I can tell you're both in a great mood, but I haven't been feeling well lately."

"This tea is so delicious, you can't tell it's free."

Jiang Tian's words instantly turned the atmosphere from enthusiastic to freezing.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Don't worry, I checked and it's refreshing. If you still feel unwell after drinking it..."

"I'll recommend the traditional Chinese medicine doctor I usually see to you!"

As Gao Qiqiang spoke, he exchanged a glance with Xu Lei. They were both cunning and shrewd, so there was no point in testing each other.

Xu Lei knew the truth, but didn't want to point it out.

After all, we've all been through this before, so sometimes we should save face for each other.

Pack everything that needs to be said and everything that needs to be organized, so that neither of us will feel too uncomfortable.

“You take things too seriously, and you’re a petty person by nature.”

"You can't be so upset about every little thing that happens."

Gao Qiqiang tried to persuade Jiang Tian, ​​but Xu Lei remained silent throughout.

Silently holding his teacup, he savored the Longjing tea in his hand, his head bowed.

"Boss Xu."

Seeing that Xu Lei ignored him, Jiang Tian simply spoke up, wanting to have a proper discussion with him.

"what happened?"

Xu Lei pretended to be completely unaware, smiling as if he had never liked to make trouble in such matters.

Xu Lei's expression hadn't been pleasant since he entered the room, mainly because he knew that Jiang Tian had been up to a lot of dirty tricks behind his back.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so angry. Everyone already understands so clearly, so why pretend to be ignorant?

"I've always been petty, and I know that, so I really can't swallow this anger about the Mud Snail Village project!"

"You mean those two, the Xu family father and son, they're really awful."

Jiang Tianzhen played his cards well, going back and forth, and he didn't easily talk about Xu Lei.

Instead, it seems more logical to start with Xu Jianguo and his son, and have them lead the conversation.

Xu Lei didn't know how long Jiang Tian had been preparing this explanation, but he felt that with his method of thinking, it was only a matter of time before he got sick.

It's really nothing to be proud of.

"Oh, Mr. Jiang!"

“You’re in big business, how can you be so hung up on such a small thing?”

"If you ask me, this is definitely your fault!"

"With all these projects you have, this money isn't enough for you to make a fortune, yet you're eyeing Nile Village, such a small piece of meat."

Gao Qiqiang laughed heartily, oblivious to the strange expression on Xu Lei's face.

Gao Qiqiang quickly tried to mediate, but unexpectedly, the tea ceremony had barely begun when everyone's faces became so unpleasant.

Gao Qiqiang and Qiao Jiangtian got up and silently picked up the small teapot in front of them, wanting to go and buy tea for Xu Lei.

But Xu Lei quietly pretended not to see it and took his teacup away.

Xu Lei couldn't afford this cup of tea, and who knew what sarcastic remarks he would make about him if he drank it.

Therefore, Xu Lei decided to cut off the problem at its source.

Tell him to stop having any strange ideas; the most valuable thing about people is self-awareness.

"The project in Niluo Village has already been finalized, and I believe the Xu family has their own considerations."

"Otherwise, why would you, who were on such good terms with Boss Jiang before, suddenly turn around and cooperate with us now?"

"Moreover, the money paid was all done fairly, justly, and transparently. If you feel there is any problem, you can call the Industry and Commerce Bureau to report me."

Upon hearing Xu Lei's words, Jiang Tian paused, his expression somewhat unreadable.

Moreover, it was very subtle. Gao Qiqiang coughed twice and then stopped talking, remaining silent.

Seeing that Xu Lei had already opened up, Gao Qiqiang was frantically trying to persuade Jiang Tian to stop being so naive. Since they all wanted to have some tea, they should at least keep things quiet.

Let's not make things so unpleasant for each other.

"That's how I always do things, so please don't mind. I always try to be polite first and then resort to force. It's good to say all this upfront."

Xu Lei smiled slightly before putting down the tea in his hand.

Jiang Tian knew in his heart that the matter had already been accomplished, and he didn't want to make things any worse.

Furthermore, it is impossible to know the full story and the underlying issues from the beginning, or how to understand them.

"I have had experts study the project in Mud Snail Village."

"At least three construction teams need to work simultaneously to complete the project within the stipulated time."

Jiang Tian brought up his idea once again: three construction teams—wasn't that clearly referring to Xu Lei, Gao Qiqiang, and himself?

It's really quite funny...

His words and actions revealed a crazy test of himself, making the other person feel that he was being taken for a fool.

"Don't always think you're the best!"

"We thought you had everything under your control, so we couldn't do anything to you. You know better than anyone how much you've tampered with the Mud Snail Village project."

"I consider the face-saving aspect of some things, so I leave room for maneuver in my words."

峮彡其①7（二）酒依①⑼

"But you keep pushing me, and it won't be fun if you keep causing trouble like this. You've made so many knock-off phones out of the Mud Snail Village project."

How much of it did you participate in?

"I know all this."

Xu Lei spoke passionately, but he was just pretending to be stupid, so Xu Lei didn't bother to argue with him.

However, if he keeps acting like a fool, Xu Lei will eventually lose his temper.

Gao Qiqiang was also a little scared when he heard Xu Lei stand up and start firing off a barrage of attacks.
