"He thought he could control everything I did, but I'm telling you right now, from now on, none of you are allowed to handle his building materials!"
This effectively blocked the other party's path, leaving the other companies somewhat puzzled and even worried.
After all, the two projects Xu Lei was working on required a huge amount of building materials, which presented them with a great opportunity to make a fortune.
If we offend Xu Lei just because of Li Zhenlin, is it worth buying this item?
"Don't worry, I'll make up for all the money you lost. I just want this kid to come over here and apologize to me!"
"Rest assured, we control all the building materials in the city."
"No matter how cocky that kid is now, it won't be long before he realizes what's going on. I want him to apologize to me honestly in front of everyone."
“Only when he admits he was wrong can this matter truly be put to rest.”
Seeing how angry Li Zhenlin was, none of the people who came to see him for treatment and to give him gifts dared to utter a sound.
Xu Lei was still flipping through various contact lists, trying to find new building materials.
"So? Do you realize your mistake now?"
Just as Xu Lei was in a state of panic, he noticed that the office door was suddenly pushed open.
This was not a stranger; it was Gao Qiqiang. He was quite surprised, not expecting the other party to come directly here.
"So you're here to make a scene too? Let me tell you, I don't have time to joke around with you right now."
"I'm already exhausted from all the work I've done. Look at those old guys, they're obviously waiting for me to go and apologize, but if I back down on this matter..."
“They will definitely cause me even bigger trouble in the future, you believe me or not? I’m just leaving this matter here, and he will definitely try to control me again in the future.”
"No matter what, I can't let these old guys be so easily manipulated by me."
After saying that, I felt a bit helpless, anxious, and uneasy.
Regardless of how worried we were before, now that things have been clarified.
Xu Lei had to find a new way out.
"Why bother? Otherwise, I'll ask that old guy out again, even though I'm angry."
"But it's one thing to let it out. Once we finish these two projects, don't worry, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."
Xu Lei waved his hand, indicating that he would never back down at this critical juncture.
"Can't you see what that old guy is up to? He just wants to see me go over and apologize to him."
“If I were to bow down to him now, I would have truly fallen into his trap. I can already picture his true colors. He's probably lying in his hospital bed telling those people that he's just waiting for me to come and apologize to him.”
"So, you might think I'm just being stubborn, but I accept that stubbornness."
Seeing Xu Lei's righteous indignation and his expression as if he wanted to devour them alive, they felt somewhat helpless.
This is a tough nut to crack.
"Alright! You two are now a perfect match."
"Since that's how it is, then I won't care anymore! You're all more capable than the last, completely ignoring what I say. What can I possibly care about? I'm just an empty shell."
Gao Qiqiang felt somewhat helpless and angry.
Moreover, she was somewhat sulking, even though she knew perfectly well what kind of person the other person was.
He was angry with himself, feeling that Li Zhenlin was a terrible person. He knew perfectly well that the building materials Li Zhenlin possessed were crucial to his project, yet he still treated him badly.
Although Xu Lei disagreed somewhat, Gao Qiqiang still wanted them to maintain good relations before they could connect with new building material developers.
If these guys are pushed too far, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause? We need to be careful that things don't escalate later.
· ······Requesting flowers· ········
They need to address the root cause.
Gao Qiqiang secretly prepared a banquet before Xu Lei, intending to have a proper talk with them.
He wanted to treat them to a meal, so he started to serve them tea and water, explaining his purpose beforehand.
But to his surprise, Gao Qiqiang threw all the gifts in his hand away as soon as he put them aside.
"It's too late to admit your mistake now!?"
"Of course I know that kid is either hiding in the shadows watching the show, or he's scared. As long as Xu Lei doesn't come, it's no use talking to me."
Gao Qiqiang saw a pile of tea leaves scattered on the ground. These were gifts he had carefully selected and had secretly sent over without Xu Lei's knowledge.
.. ..... 0
He came over looking pitiful, only to be kicked away by the other party. Gao Qiqiang only picked up the bags on the ground.
Those around him wanted to help, but Gao Qiqiang stopped them. He told them to swallow their anger and understand that they should show some leniency towards President Li, who had suffered all the humiliation he had endured.
Don't go too far, it'll make everyone look bad. I know you're capable and have everything under control.
"But everyone has a time when they lose everything, and I'll just stay here and watch that day come."
After Xu Lei finished speaking, he revealed a sinister smile, which surprised the other party.
"A sharp mind leads to good health."
"You don't need to see the day I crash and burn. I'm telling you, that day will never come in your life, so don't even dream about it."
After saying that, he wanted to go over and tear them to pieces; he even had the urge to kill them.
Regardless of how anxious everyone was about this matter, the things they had in their hands made them feel extremely sad.
"We must get everything done properly this time."
"But in the end, nothing went as expected; instead, everyone was left out."
Xu Lei was fully prepared, knowing that he couldn't be completely on guard in the building materials market.
But the situation had already reached this critical juncture, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
Chapter 323 Filling the Gaps
Although it's difficult, we have no choice but to persevere despite the hardships.
"I'm truly impressed!"
“Those old fogies are giving me trouble. Now all the building materials companies refuse to cooperate with us.”
Xu Lei was furious and slammed the folder down hard, creating a sizable dent in his desk.
Xiao Qiang was a little scared watching from the side; he had never seen his boss get so angry before.
Of course, while those old men were certainly promising, he didn't want his eldest brother to get hurt.
"Boss, please don't do that. I know those guys made you angry."
"I know how disgusting the things they did were, but don't let their words influence you. They're just people who enjoy watching the drama unfold."
"Thinking that you can make everyone happy with just a few words is actually the most despicable thing. It would be a huge mistake for us to get angry because of such people."
Xiao Qiang quickly went over to give him a glass of water, telling him to calm down first. Xu Lei's realization wasn't just a momentary outburst of anger, but rather a result of long-standing resentment.
I really don't understand why these guys are always going against me.
"Especially that guy surnamed Li, I think he has a bad heart."
"Looking at how he usually grins at us, I just regret that I didn't kill him with that bottle."
Xu Lei clenched his fists, and at this moment, his fighting spirit was fully ignited, which would have been fine under normal circumstances.
He could have just endured it and died, but now Xu Lei has decided to fight back against all odds.
“Then we’ll wait and see. Even if God suffers eight hundred losses out of a thousand, I will definitely bring him down. If I don’t bring him down, I’ll write my name backwards.”
Seeing his boss so full of fighting spirit, Xiao Qiang was secretly pleased, but he also felt that Xu Lei had gone through so much hardship to do all this.
You did nothing wrong, yet someone secretly tricked you like that. Anyone would be furious in that situation.
Li Zhenlin had already spread the word within the industry, claiming that anyone who wanted to cooperate with Xu Lei was making trouble for him.
This is clearly cutting off other people's escape route.
“Cutting off someone’s money is like killing them. My parents are so old, and they don’t even understand this principle.”
“I’ve had dinner with him and met him before. He doesn’t seem like someone who’s brainless. The people around him don’t seem to know how to remind him. If this continues, things will get worse.”
Gao Qiqiang was worried at this moment, and the people around him were also somewhat helpless. Now things had come to this point and they had to tear off all pretenses.
There is no room for maneuver.
In this way, Xu Lei can make full use of his abilities, and on the one hand, he needs to find new suppliers.
I called all the suppliers repeatedly, even those who were far away.
He would rather contact new suppliers or face higher shipping costs than continue working with this kind of company.
Therefore, thinking about this strengthened my resolve even further.
“You’ll definitely be overwhelmed trying to handle all of this by yourself. I’ll help you with some of the tasks.”
He then smiled slightly.
Xu Lei knew, of course, that the other party meant well, but he needed to sort out his work first.
Only after it's all organized can it be sent to the guys below to handle.
"By the way, how did Wang Xuhui perform?"
Even though Xu Lei is currently overwhelmed with problems, he may still occasionally contact Xiao Qiang.
Xu Lei knew that the two of them had added each other on WeChat, and that they seemed to have a pretty good relationship in private.
For some reason, Wang Xuhui ended up playing with Xiaoqiang.
At first, Xiaoqiang thought Wang Xuhui was the worst person he met.
“This kid has been working hard lately, so I let him carry bricks at the construction site for two days first.”
“I don’t have time to deal with him, but since you’ve given the instructions, I will definitely pay close attention to him.”
Xu Lei nodded slightly; after all, this was a digression.
The most urgent task now is to find new suppliers. Although we have called more than 200 people one by one, only two or three people have agreed in the end.
Xu Lei was also somewhat worried about their qualifications.
"Although these small building materials companies say they offer lower prices, I'm still a bit suspicious."
"I have to go and check it out myself, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Xu Lei is very thoughtful and meticulous in his work, and he would never ignore anything just because of the other party's publicity.
"Or I can go over there. If you go over there, our whole place will come to a standstill."
Wang Xuhui hasn't caused him any trouble lately, which has relieved Xu Lei of a great deal of worry, otherwise, it would have been better if Old Master Wang hadn't asked him to do so.
Xu Lei is probably not going to be able to finish.
"I never expected that you could be so good at taking care of the kids. That kid is such a troublemaker. I told you a long time ago that I needed to teach him a lesson."
"Make sure to do it in advance, and never be too emotionally invested in him, otherwise he'll just take advantage of you. Isn't Li Zhenlin a perfect example of that?"
"At first, he was just a lowly clerk, and back then he followed me around like a little tail wagging."
"He seems to have forgotten that now that he's a manager here, he thinks he's amazing and can rise to the top in one step."
"They can now criticize and dictate everything."
Xu Lei still felt wronged when he heard about this.
Li Zhenlin's life was also a legendary one.
Xu Lei suddenly thought of a new method, like advertising, in this era where everyone is pursuing subtle product placement.
He had to pull the other person over 250.
"I can't swallow this insult. Since he wants to become famous, I'll give him a hand."
Xu Lei quickly sent out the complaint letter, not only handing it over to a designated staff member, but more importantly, he wanted to expose it online.
Those small and medium-sized enterprises that depend on him know that the external policies are very good now, so they don't need to be so hesitant.
“That kid Wang Xuhui called me and said that there’s a building materials company in his area, and it seems like we could cooperate.”
Indeed, helping others can bring benefits to oneself, even though Xu Lei initially wanted to help Wang Xuhui undergo a complete transformation.
