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

Page 286

That's why I was so worried, but when I ran over there, you were acting like nothing happened, which made us all outside yelling and screaming in panic.

Chen Shuting was somewhat surprised that someone knew who did it.

That means Xu Lei might have some leverage over someone, but he just can't bring it up yet.

Chapter 351 The Calm Before the Storm

But keeping things hidden all along isn't the same thing; they've all come up with such a straightforward approach to things now.

It's impossible to always think the best of people, so the boy felt a little uneasy.

They were even more worried that this matter would cause them trouble in the future.

"It's not that I think people are so bad, it's just that you've seen it so far."

These guys aren't going to follow our lead.

I won't spell out the bad thoughts they're harboring.

But now they want to come over and openly compete with us for this high-end thing.

I feel a strong aversion to it for no reason at all.

What Chen Shuting said was also serious business. Xu Lei sometimes found it annoying, but he was restrained by various social obligations.

It's indeed not easy to truly penetrate it.

"I don't care what people say outside, as long as I follow the plan, that's fine."

I didn't expect you to still be concerned about this. Don't worry, I promised I could get it done.

That's definitely not a joke. Send your men back first. 17”

Since Xu Lei had already said so much, Chen Shuting could only nod silently and wave her hand.

Xu Lei was surprised that his underlings were quite loyal and sent them all back first.

Since he arrived so quickly with his people, I clasped my hands together to express my gratitude.

"Don't give me that crap. Do you even know who did this? And you're still playing dead."

Isn't this just giving those people something to laugh at? That guy surnamed Li is no good.

They're probably waiting there to laugh at us now, and just thinking about it makes me furious.

If we don't stand up to him properly this time, he'll definitely cause us trouble in the future.

Stop grinning like that. Do you think he's incapable of doing something like that?

Given his tiny, narrow-minded nature, I feel I haven't wronged him at all.

He's just playing tricks on us in these kinds of situations, thinking we can't do anything about him.

But in reality, it's just that he doesn't want to touch him; if he wanted to, he'd be caught red-handed the moment he touched him.

He thinks he's some kind of big shot, I'm speechless.

After he finished speaking, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. In fact, Xu Lei was also somewhat speechless.

I originally wanted to have a proper talk with the other party, but it was obvious that they didn't want to bother with me.

So I felt a little helpless and had no choice but to arrange everything first.

"You two don't need to worry too much. We've got this under close surveillance."

This is bound to cause quite a bit of trouble. There's no use in being anxious; it's better to stay calm.

Hearing Xu Lei say that, Chen Shuting was so angry she rolled her eyes, thinking he was just too naive.

"You think you can let him off so easily? He thinks he can let us off so easily too."

Who knows where they might be hiding their little schemes, watching others make fun of them.

I'm not bragging, I'm just stating my opinion based on my limited understanding of him.

He definitely won't let this go; he'll make things as big as possible.

I'm not accusing him at all; otherwise, we'll see.

Chen Shuting cared a lot about right and wrong in this matter, but Xu Lei understood that even if they really cared about it, what would be the final outcome?

It's really just making everyone look worse, so he understands the whole story.

Knowing how this matter would ultimately end, it's better to be prepared from the beginning.

Let's not let so much resentment grow in everyone's hearts.

"You're too easily angered. If it were me, I would have overturned his stall."

Xu Lei found his glaring and angry expression amusing and stared at him with interest.

"Alright, alright, stop staring at me. I'm really angry. I just think we don't need to cause any trouble with him."

Now, people are making it seem like we're afraid of him, as if we did something wrong in this matter.

It's like he's doing something amazing. What is he anyway? He's just relying on the fact that he can pull off some impressive feats here.

He thought he could handle all the situations, but in reality, he was just an incompetent fool.

Don't let me run into him. If I do, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget.

After he finished speaking, there was a hint of warning in his eyes, as if he wanted the other party to understand him.

I will definitely not approach him so easily again in this matter; on the contrary, I will give him a good look.

"Oh my, look how amazing you all are! I didn't know that."

I thought everything had changed here already, but I've already made it clear.

I will take charge of this matter, and I guarantee that I will handle it perfectly.

But you guys are so worried about me. If you're so worried, why are you pushing all the blame onto me?

Don't worry, I've had some plans for this, and I definitely won't let anyone keep such a close eye on us.

After speaking, a subtle look appeared in his eyes as he admired Xu Lei's sense of responsibility.

And since he didn't show any excitement, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Knowing that she might have been a little emotional just now, Chen Shuting took a deep breath and understood.

Xu Lei always had his own methods for doing things, but he couldn't help but worry about something in his heart.

It was as if they had encountered some great difficulty, and they just couldn't let out the anger in their hearts.

“I know you’re holding back your anger. I actually just heard the news myself.”

I'm even angrier than you. Do you think I don't get furious when I see that old man?

I'm angry too, but getting angry won't solve anything right now.

We can only use this as an excuse to get everything done.

So that we won't be caught out by others in the future, Li Zhenlin is probably even more nervous than we are right now.

He knew he couldn't escape this calamity, and he knew that this matter would inevitably cause problems sooner or later.

That's why they're so nervous and keeping a close eye on our every move.

Otherwise, given his temper, he would have already turned this whole thing upside down.

You think he's been able to endure this long just to make a scene.

That's impossible. Based on his past behavior, he's probably waiting somewhere to laugh at me now.

So don't be anxious or sad. We have a long road ahead of us, and it's not worth getting angry or upset over him.

Although Xu Lei's words sounded nice, they still made people worry about him and even hold their breath.

Chen Shuting has seen a lot of the world, but no matter how much she has, look at her state today.

Chapter 352 A Clever Person

He was also very worried, feeling that many things had far exceeded his predictions and imagination.

We shouldn't just surrender like this, and even allow others to seize so much leverage against us.

It was really wrong, which is why I'm so angry and want to get everything sorted out.

He desperately wanted to prevent this from causing any further trouble, and the thought filled him with anxiety and helplessness.

"You see, although there is a little worry on the surface, I can actually handle all of these things."

Li Zhenlin is holding back his anger and wants to see me make a fool of myself. If I really fall for his trick in this matter...

Whether I'm still working here or not in the future, don't worry, I've already made all the arrangements.

If he really wants to mess with me about this, he'll have to use the methods he's supposed to.

Otherwise, what would he use to mess with me?

Although Xu Lei spoke quite frankly and calmly, how could Chen Shuting not worry and feel anxious for him?

However, seeing that the situation had changed so drastically, he could no longer easily change his mind and say what he wanted to say.

"You understand this yourself. I know you're a sensible person, and you don't need anyone else to worry about what you do."

But I still feel like I'm holding my breath, and many things are more anxiety-inducing and worse than I imagined.

Although I often force myself not to worry or get upset, how can I possibly convince myself to say those words?

After sending all his subordinates away, Chen Shuting noticed that he already had a plan.

I couldn't keep going like this any longer, so I just told him to be more careful in everything he did.

Aside from being cautious, there was ultimately nothing he could do to help, so he wisely turned and left.

Seeing Chen Shuting leave Xu Lei, he knew that the next part of the plan was about to begin.

Xiao Qiang then pushed open Xu Lei's office door and recounted the entire situation outside.

"I guess those guys think our goods are going to be stolen, so rumors are spreading like wildfire."

Xu Lei also found it amusing, even though he hadn't issued a statement immediately.

But it seems everyone outside is convinced that they're going to be in big trouble in this matter.

So, aside from those who just want to watch the spectacle, there are also those who want to confide in themselves here.

"Don't worry, everything is going more smoothly than we expected, so let's proceed according to our plan."

Hearing Xu Lei's instructions, he nodded silently.

"Don't worry, everything under the boss has been arranged. They will definitely not let you down in this matter."

These guys were just too cunning; I still get angry thinking about it now.

If it weren't for your foresight, boss, these people would have already wiped out our entire fortune.

They knew better than we did the value of this shipment, yet they still did it anyway; we all felt a bit aggrieved.

Xu Lei was well aware of this matter; he had indeed suffered a loss, but as long as he survived, he could always make a comeback.

The same will be true in the future, so they no longer need to worry about this matter.

Li Zhenlin is probably still waiting for news that Xu Lei is about to suffer a major setback.

So I hummed a little tune early this morning, feeling very happy.

Although there was no news from Xu Lei, he had long been convinced that Xu Lei was going to be in big trouble.

Moreover, it will certainly cause great damage to oneself, and one may even have to clean up this matter from beginning to end.

"There's still no news from Xu Lei. I didn't expect him to be so patient."

I thought things were already in complete chaos on his end, but it turns out there really wasn't a single word from him.

Sure enough, he's patient, but I'll see what his patience is really like.

"At that point, we won't have to think about anything or worry about anything. We can just stay here and wait for news."

Those lackeys below saw that Li Zhenlin was in a rare good mood, so they all rushed up to fawn over him and flatter him.

Mr. Li also learned of Xu Lei's situation and knew that Xu Lei had suffered heavy losses this time.

There was a high possibility of a shortage of supplies, so he offered to give Xu Lei the building materials he had on hand for free.

“You used to be very quick to settle payments, but this time you've run into trouble.”
