So he lived like a stray dog for those few days. If it weren't for you, Boss 137, stepping in to revive his company, he'd still be begging in some backwater right now.
Xu Lei had anticipated this move, but he still smiled slightly.
"Helping him is also helping myself."
Xu Lei closed his eyes to rest on the way back, but that was the case.
At the time, Xiaoqiang didn't quite understand why Xu Lei wanted to do this.
"Boss, I'll just tell you this: even if you really think of him in everything, with his personality, he won't appreciate it at all."
Instead, he felt it was all his own doing, and within half a month, he had completely forgotten these lessons.
Although Xu Lei had his eyes closed, he was already aware of Jiang Tian's actions.
"Of course I know that he can't get better overnight, especially since I'm funding him this time."
It wasn't really to save him; our relationship wasn't that good enough yet.
Xu Lei's sudden remark left the other party even more confused, and Jiang Tian was utterly bewildered.
Several people didn't want to see him make a fool of himself, but now Xu Lei has actually stepped in to help him revive his company.
So Xiaoqiang really couldn't understand Xu Lei's actions.
“You’ve been by my side for so many years. Sometimes, try not to act so impulsively. Learn from me.”
Xiaoqiang seemed to suddenly understand upon hearing this.
Chapter 235 The Way!
Xu Lei's actions not only allowed him to sell off the Xiaolong mobile phone business as well.
And not only did he do her a favor, but more importantly, he established a reputation for integrity within the industry.
This is killing two birds with one stone! How could I have been so stupid before?
He couldn't believe he hadn't thought of this; he wanted to slap himself right now.
Xiaoqiang was so happy that he couldn't help but speed up the car.
"So that's how it is, boss, this is a scheme within a scheme, so he'll have to remember it."
The most important thing about you is letting everyone see how you saved his life despite past grievances.
If Jiang Tian dares to pull any more dirty tricks after this, the people who curse him will line up all the way to Songjiang.
After saying that, he burst into laughter, feeling that his boss's move was truly ingenious.
I could never have come up with such a trick in my entire life.
“You need to learn more by my side. If I send you to business school, you need to attend classes on time.”
Xiaoqiang feels dizzy whenever he hears about having to study something; he's never been good at studying since he was little.
"I'm not as quick-witted as Xiao Chen. I usually get a headache just hearing the word 'class,' but don't worry."
"Boss, I haven't missed a single one of those business school courses you had me sign up for; I've been listening attentively."
Xu Lei smiled and nodded upon hearing this, regardless of the outcome this time.
He has completed the Xiaolong phone he wanted to make, and he has suffered no loss.
They even made a fortune by selling all of Xiaolong phones before their market value depreciated.
He also did Jiang Tian a favor, which not only earned his father's praise but also established his prestige among his peers.
I think Xu Lei is a man of action, generous and has a very broad perspective.
He disregarded past grievances and was truly honest and kind; even his father thought he had done a good job.
“Jiang Tian, look at Xu Lei, he’s your junior, but he has a broader perspective on things than you do.”
You made him lose face like that. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have his magnanimity.
Forget about helping you; you'd be lucky if you didn't kick me when I'm down.
Although the old man understood how much effort Xu Lei had put in, he also knew what Xu Lei was thinking.
But we still need to maintain our WeChat relationship and absolutely cannot let him make things awkward for both of us.
"Who says otherwise? I know I was wrong about what I did before."
I was being cynical and presumptuous; I truly didn't expect Mr. Xu to be so kind to me.
Jiang Tian's eyes were filled with tears at this moment. He was genuinely grateful; Xu Lei's actions were merely a business matter.
The business world is like a battlefield; sometimes gratitude at this moment can turn into hostility the next.
His father had seen this kind of thing many times before, but he still gave him earnest advice.
"Xu Lei is truly a person worth getting to know well. Once he sets his mind on something, he will definitely accomplish it."
No matter how difficult it gets, if you treat him well in the future, you won't be shortchanged.
His father gave him a long and earnest lecture, though it was unclear how much of what he said he would actually take to heart.
But as long as I can give the instructions properly, I can consider it as doing my best.
Xu Lei was just about to rest when he found Chen Shuting already sitting in his house.
He was very happy to see his son come back and was waiting to ask how things had been these past two days.
As soon as Gao Qilan got off the plane, she went straight to her brother's house, because she was afraid her brother would worry after not seeing her for so many days.
"Oh dear, my good son, you really are something, you've been gone for so many days and you didn't even send me a message."
If I don't contact you, you probably won't even know to contact me.
Chen Shuting watched him rushing around.
"Oh dear, I was busy! I was out surveying the market and negotiating business deals."
It's not like I'm just going on vacation; I have a dinner appointment with my brother tonight.
"You'd better hurry up and leave; I can't go home until after I finish dinner tonight."
When Chen Shuting heard that the two of them were going to a dinner party as soon as they got back, she knew without a doubt that it was Jiang Tianchuan's party.
"I'm going to that dinner party tonight too, so can I come with you?"
After Chen Shuting said that, Xu Lei and Gao Xiaochen were both a little confused. It turned out that Jiang Tian was not just inviting them to dinner.
He also had to express his determination in front of everyone, and Xu Lei suddenly felt a little tired.
He didn't want to go to the dinner party in the first place, and was even thinking about whether he could come up with a better excuse to decline.
Now I realize I've got myself stuck here tonight; I have to go whether I want to or not.
"You can help Jiang Tian, but you can't trust him too much."
He's not guileless; he won't submit to you just because you helped him this once.
Chen Shuting cautiously reminded him, and Xu Lei smiled slightly.
"Of course, I didn't expect him to really believe me much. It's just that he's already reached a dead end."
If I don't help him, am I really going to watch him die?
Xu Lei selected a few suits from the wardrobe and prepared to take a shower first, as he had a tough battle to fight tonight to win over Jiang Tian.
Xu Lei was too lazy to guess, but that's how he always conducted business – he would never drive someone to their death.
But if someone really takes advantage of him, he can't just sit idly by.
"Did you bring me any gifts this time you went out?"
Chen Shuting started chatting with her son, while Xu Lei looked through his phone.
I've received quite a few emails these past few days, many of them wanting to discuss business collaborations.
However, Xu Lei felt that these projects would not be very profitable and would easily become outdated.
During his trip to Southeast Asia, what he valued most was Ah Q's shop; he was truly captivated by it.
If I can really take over that shop, and renovate it properly, the future operating profits will definitely be very high.
He became more and more excited as he thought about it, hoping that things could be settled as soon as possible so that he could finally show his skills.
Xu Lei was a little suspicious of the banquet tonight, as Jiang Tian had suddenly gathered so many people together.
Besides expressing gratitude for their own kindness, do you want to stir up some other trouble?
When Xu Lei lent him the money, it was already agreed that the interest rate would be the same as that of a bank.
I won't lend him money for nothing, after all, he made me suffer so much before.
It would be good enough if Xu Lei didn't push him any further at this point.
Although he didn't understand what he was doing, Xu Lei still had to be on guard.
While Xu Lei was resting with his eyes closed, lost in thought, he noticed that Gao Qiqiang was calling.
Gao Qiqiang has been overseeing the construction site in Niluo Village for the past two days, and the project is progressing very smoothly.
The construction was completed faster than expected, so Xu Lei was quite relieved.
Knowing that if I leave it to him now, things will definitely be handled very well.
"Boss Gao, has your sister arrived yet?"
After answering the phone, Xu Lei first inquired about Xiao Lan's condition, since he knew that Xiao Lan was the apple of his eye.
Xu Lei's question made Gao Qiqiang very happy.
"We've arrived. She's packing her luggage, so I won't let her call you."
Xu Lei nodded slightly.
"By the way, are we going to Boss Jiang's banquet tonight?"
Chapter 236 Welcome Reception
Xu Lei was surprised that the news had already reached Gao Qiqiang's side. He was quite astonished and wondered what Jiang Tian was up to this time.
Hearing no response from Xu Lei, one could tell that he had tacitly agreed.
"It seems Mr. Jiang is treating everyone to a big meal tonight. I heard my father is going too."
"He suddenly expanded his business so much; could it be because he hasn't forgotten about Xiaolong's phone?"
Although Xu Lei had considered this before, he still spent a large sum of money to help him when he was in his most difficult time.
He won't turn against us now, otherwise how could he survive here?
"Probably not. It's just that with such a big entourage, it can't be just a simple welcome party for me."
Even Shu Ting was invited; I'm sure he has a big surprise up his sleeve this time.
Xu Lei was a little worried, after all, he was too lazy to argue with him.
But the other party was really getting tired of being so persistent.
"I was on a plane all day and was hoping to get some rest early tonight, but it looks like it's going to be another sleepless night!"
Before going, Xu Lei had anticipated that these people would not let go easily.
But I never expected things to turn out so badly, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it offline.
140 Xiaoqiang noticed that something was wrong, so he asked Xu Lei if they should prepare a few more people.
"I think Jiang Tian isn't very honest, otherwise we should prepare a few brothers to wait on the side."
Just like before at the teahouse.
Xiao Qiang hadn't forgotten the lesson he learned at Fuyun Teahouse. Xu Lei thought it over and over again, but still shook his head.
"Don't worry, there are so many people here, he wouldn't dare to pull any tricks. But why did he suddenly call everyone over in such a grand manner?"
Xu Lei was still a little curious about what was going on, and although he had helped him.
But the bond between us wasn't really that deep, and I was afraid that things would continue like this.
If something goes wrong, Xu Lei won't be able to do anything about it and will end up suffering a loss himself.
"Brother, surely he wouldn't go that far? After all, we helped him before. Even if he doesn't know how to repay our kindness."
That doesn't warrant turning against each other. If that were the case, would he even dare to stay in this place?
