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

Page 215

The old man pulled Jiang Tian aside, his eyes filled with a hint of accusation.

And he was clearly not happy, which completely baffled Jiang Tian.

The main reason was that he didn't expect Xu Lei to expose his background so quickly, which caught him off guard.

"What can I do, Dad? I'm an honest man, don't worry, just sit here and relax."

The old man's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed a hint of blame.

Now that he had no idea what this guy was up to, he realized that he was once again being used as someone else's tool.

I absolutely must not attend this guy's banquet next time, otherwise I'll be sold out and still have to help the other person count the money.

Chapter 238 Spending a lot of money to do small things

There's no point in seeking justice in this kind of situation; everyone knows the answer to that.

It's just that sometimes it's inconvenient to expose him due to various reasons. Chen Shuting is sitting next to her father at this moment, with a smile on her face.

"Dad, why are you here so early? This time you've really gone all out!"

Look at this, it must have cost a lot of money to book this place.

"You have to admit, Mr. Jiang is both rich and powerful. I heard he just bought out Xiaolong's mobile phone business a couple of days ago; he probably made a fortune."

After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly, while several people watched and laughed at Chen Shuting.

After saying this, Jiang Tian's expression immediately turned sour, since everyone knew about his loss of money.

Everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and noticing that the crowd's expressions were a little off, he deliberately feigned surprise.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You said that I, a woman, don't understand many things in a 'one-four-three' way. I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Tian, ​​the assassin, forced an awkward smile. He tightened his grip on the wine glass he was holding.

He originally intended to embarrass Xu Lei, and even wanted to get a share of the profits to recoup his investment.

But I didn't expect that this would be such a bad start, making me lose face so badly.

"Oh, what's the big deal? In business, there are gains and losses, and this project didn't make me lose much money."

After finishing speaking about Jiang Tiandian, Xu Lei smiled awkwardly and nodded slightly, then found an inconspicuous corner.

Even while sitting, he pretended to scold Chen Shuting.

"It's Mr. Jiang. He's so rich, why would he care about such a small loss? You really don't understand the market."

After saying that, he deliberately made a sarcastic remark.

Xu Lei had disliked him for a long time, and now he finally had the chance to teach him a lesson.

Jiang Tian was too good at feigning innocence, always making himself seem like a huge victim.

So Xu Lei used to be too lazy to argue with him about this, but now he sees him going further and further astray.

They couldn't turn a blind eye any longer; the look in her eyes seemed to want to kill him halfway.

"Oh dear, Xu Lei, how can you sit here? Come over here and sit next to your father."

They were about to invite Xu Lei to the main bathroom, but Xu Lei only looked at the situation today.

If I were in that position, who knows what trouble I might cause.

"It's alright, it's alright. We're just eating by ourselves today. There's no need for so many complicated things between brothers."

You can eat anywhere; I'll just help serve the food here.

He smiled slightly as he spoke, and remained seated without moving an inch.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on, so neither side tried to mediate.

"It doesn't matter where you sit, Mr. Xu, why don't you sit next to me?"

There were also quite a few people who wanted to flatter Xu Lei, so they quickly stepped forward to help Xu Lei make peace.

But Xu Lei wouldn't develop any goodwill towards these people just because of those two sentences.

These people are always looking for a good show and don't mind making things worse; they've always been like this.

Xu Lei just wanted to give them a few perfunctory replies and was too lazy to argue with them.

This situation is really awkward. Xu Lei sat in the corner to avoid responding to his words.

He can do whatever he wants; it has nothing to do with me.

But Jiang Tian didn't think that way; he wanted to use this opportunity to stir up more trouble.

Seeing that Xu Lei was ignoring him, he felt anxious but too embarrassed to say anything.

"You're not giving me any face. We've been friends for so many years. You're making me lose face."

As he spoke, he unconsciously rubbed his hands together, and Xu Lei could only sigh helplessly.

"Okay, then I'll sit next to Mr. Jiang and see what he has to say to me."

As Xu Lei spoke, a hint of mockery lingered in his eyes. In truth, Xu Lei knew that the other party had actually summoned him here.

They didn't come up with any good ideas, after all, they wouldn't stop until they had their own flesh and blood on them.

Since we're all business people, there's no need for us to put on airs. Xu Lei's words made everyone present feel a little awkward.

After all, they were dragged here by Jiang Tian, ​​and they thought it would be as simple as having a meal.

However, upon arriving there, he discovered that something was amiss, and Xu Lei's two sentences were a slap in the face to Jiang Tian.

His actions were completely exposed.

"If you say it's a meal, then it's a meal. Why are you making such a fuss? How come you don't even trust me?"

After speaking, she smiled slightly and poured Xu Lei a glass of wine, which Xu Lei quickly stood up to drink.

I've essentially agreed to it.

"I was having cash flow problems the other day, and I'm really grateful for your help."

Business is really slow these days, so I thought I'd take over Xiaolong's mobile phone.

I thought that earning a little more money would be a solution to my immediate problem, but I never expected this.

This business is really tough. I'd only been running it for a few days, and now this phone is already out of fashion.

The old man noticed that Chen Shuting's tone was a bit off and became scared, and then a conflict broke out in front of him.

That would be embarrassing for both of them, so he just patted Jiang Tian on the shoulder.

"In business, there are gains and losses. Who can guarantee that every project will be profitable?"

"Nobody's a god; no one can predict things that accurately."

My father's words were clearly biased, even though no one could predict it so accurately.

But Xu Lei always manages to catch the wave and even make a fortune each time.

This couldn't help but make them a little envious, and even a hint of enviousness appeared in their eyes.

Not to mention how much they envied Xu Lei's Xiaolong phone before.

Moreover, they felt uneasy after Jiang Tian took it, as they all felt they had lost a lot of money.

But who would have thought that the phone would disappear without a trace, along with the principal and interest, after only two days of making money?

Not everyone can catch this kind of opportunity, and Xu Lei was able to seize the moment to sell off all of Xiaolong's mobile phones.

It's truly shocking that Jiang Tian suffered such a huge loss without being able to speak out.

Although Xu Lei offered a helping hand when he was in trouble, Jiang Tian had no intention of taking the bait.

“Dad is right. In business, everyone makes or loses money based on their own abilities. You can’t expect all the good things to happen to one person.”

As Jiang Tian was speaking, he tried to steer the conversation toward Xu Lei, who was watching him slowly walk towards him.

Knowing that this guy was up to no good, Chen Shuting's eyes also showed a hint of wariness.

And his eyes also glanced silently at Xu Lei, telling him to be careful.

This guy's behavior is really undignified, it makes people feel frustrated, even though we're all respectable people.

Why make things so awkward for everyone? Xu Lei didn't quite understand.

Chapter 239 Seizing the Market

But we also know that since we've all come this far, we have to consider each other's dignity and thoughts.

We need to have a serious and careful discussion before we can proceed.

But if they continue to disregard even the last bit of face between them, things are bound to get ugly, Xu Lei.

With a slight smile in her eyes, she wanted to hear what other ivory he had to spew from that dog's mouth.

"Everyone says that business has its ups and downs, and it's impossible for one person to catch every trend."

But when it comes to doing business, the only person I admire is Xu Lei; he's truly amazing.

You said that Xiaolong mobile phones made a lot of money in the first wave and quickly seized the market.

I heard that your project in Mud Snail Village has made a lot of money.

Tell me, tell me, who else in this world has such skillful methods as you?

To be able to consider everything so thoroughly is like being a fortune teller.

As they spoke, some of the people laughing were Jiang Tian's hired help, so they quickly chimed in.

"Oh, Mr. Jiang, we all know your difficulties. Who isn't? We have these projects on our hands."

We've been losing money hand over fist lately. If Mr. Xu were willing to help us out, I heard this project is going to be expanded soon.

If we could all participate in this, we would definitely be very grateful to Boss Xu for his great kindness.

As she spoke, she turned her gaze directly to Xu Lei, realizing that he had been waiting for her there.

Xu Lei immediately had a plan in mind; these guys had assumed he was a young man.

And because he couldn't bring himself to do something so drastic, he was too proud to admit it.

They always spoke without holding back, but Xu Lei couldn't be bothered to tolerate that kind of behavior.

Since they didn't want to make things easy for themselves, Xu Lei decided to make everyone look bad.

"I said this to the two bosses. But I'm a little confused. Making money depends on your own abilities."

When I saw you two bosses making money from that amusement park ride, you didn't seem to think about including us.

Why are you so envious of my earnings now that you want to steal my dinner?

Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

His eyes held a hint of warning as he spoke, and these words were also a way of getting them to fix their eyebrows.

After all, their projects had indeed made money recently, and this was right when Jiang Tian needed support the most.

They pretended to be confused, and even in order to avoid Fang Zhu, Jiang Tian wanted to stay in the hospital.

This caused quite a commotion, and Jiang Tian's expression immediately turned sour.

He recalled all his old and new grudges.

"Oh dear, Mr. Xu, you really know how to change the subject. We were talking about your problem, how did you end up dragging me into it?"

Chen Shuting, their way of speaking is really unreasonable.

"That's because it's all the same thing, so I can't help but think of you guys."

Look at us now, we're all sitting here eating and chatting with each other.

So it seems a bit lively, but I remember not long ago when Boss Xu asked the two of you to come and help out.

You guys really hid away and didn't come out at all. It's really disheartening to think about how we met.

After all, when you two started from scratch, I remember that Boss Jiang helped you a lot. Look at you two.

He shook his head helplessly, making a very helpless expression, while Chen Shuting chimed in.

Even when all the conflicts were pointed directly at them, the two of them lost face and immediately shut up.

"Whether this project makes money or loses money is up to the market, and it has nothing to do with me."

I was lucky and made a little more money, but I didn't expect that this would bring bad luck to you all. How many years older are you than me?
