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

Page 179

"If I were a fool, I wouldn't be where I am today. Everyone needs to have some self-awareness!"

"Don't always treat others like fools and think too highly of yourself."

As Xu Lei spoke, he patted Xu Jianguo on the shoulder and stared at him meaningfully, making him think twice before doing all the work for others.

“My son and I were out of our minds. We wanted to make some money on the side, so we started making these knock-off phones.”

"That factory is located in the bamboo forest behind Qinglong Mountain."

"If you want to go, I can take you there right now!"

Xu Lei simply shook his head slightly.

"I had already sealed off that place when you arrived!"

"I trust Officer An to lead the team."

Xu Jianguo lowered his head when Xu Lei suddenly said that.

He knew he shouldn't have messed with this big shot.

This time, he lost everything.

"The project in Mud Snail Village is a good project, but it has run into people like you who are only interested in money."

"However, this is only human nature. Who wouldn't want to make a little more money? But everything has its limits!"

"Don't assume that just because you've done everything you can, no one will be aware of it?"

Xu Lei smiled slightly, wanting him to understand that sometimes he didn't pursue things because he was stupid, but because he was too lazy to argue with him.

If I really wanted to argue, they couldn't possibly afford to pay for it with their meager strength.

"We know, we know..."

Xu Lei's words have already made his point clear; I believe they are all sensible people and understand what he means.

Xu Jianguo immediately stood up.

"We know a little about this..."

The notice was impatient; Xiaoqiang coughed twice, looking fierce.

"If you have something to say, then say it; if you don't, then don't bother us here."

Xiao Qiang was practically his external microphone. Xiao Qiang's words instantly perked up the Xu family father and son, and Xu Lei coughed twice.

"Xiaoqiang, this is my guest, don't be so forceful!"

· ······Requesting flowers· ········

Xiaoqiang could only nod silently, after all, he had conveyed his meaning.

Xu Jianguo then sat down and mysteriously told him, "This place was previously involved by President Cheng. He said these knock-off phones are fully functional."

"It just might have a shorter lifespan, and it gets updated very quickly. So if it's slightly adulterated, it's not a big deal."

After saying this, Xu Jianguo nervously looked at Xu Lei, wanting to see what his attitude would be.

"Does this mean you were all involved in the counterfeit phone scandal?"

Xu Lei stared at them meaningfully.

At this point, there's no way you can absolve yourself of any responsibility!

Even though Chengcheng made mistakes, neither of them were good people.

. thirty ...

That's why Xu Lei was so angry.

"Damn it! They dare to mess with our Xiaolong phones?"

"You still dare to release so many knock-off phones with such poor quality."

Xiaoqiang was somewhat angry at this point.

Their eyes were fixed on them with a fierce look, as if they wanted to tear them apart.

Xu Lei knew all too well what kind of bad intentions this father and son were.

So naturally, they didn't take everything they said to heart.

"This matter was handled by President Cheng..."

Xiao Xu was indignant and wanted to argue, but Xu Jianguo quickly stopped him as soon as he spoke.

They don't know the relationship between Chengcheng and Xu Lei at the moment, but seeing that Xu Lei is in a bad situation, they decided to break off all ties with him!

After all, I'm here today to pledge my loyalty, so we can't let things get so ugly.

"We were blinded by money, thinking we could earn more, we were bewitched..."

Xu Lei noticed that they seemed to have some self-awareness!

"Don't leave tonight, Mr. Xu, have dinner at my house first."

After saying that, he gave Xiaoqiang a wink, and Xiaoqiang got up and led the two of them into the back of the living room.

This action terrified the father and son.

Just moments ago, Xiao Xu was craning his neck, wanting to argue with Xu Lei, but now he's so scared that his hands and feet are trembling.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, your father and I are very good friends!"

"What do you mean by forcing us like this and detaining us here? Besides, that matter has little to do with us!"

"I've already explained everything to you clearly, why don't you understand?"

Chapter 184 The Counterfeit Phone Is Investigated

Xu Jianguo knew that if things went wrong now, he and his son would be in greater danger; after all, Xu Jianguo was a devil!

Xu Lei is still refusing to give him a straight answer, which makes him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Xu Lei didn't say much, but his smile was particularly chilling...

"Those words really dishearten me!"

"It's a small token of my appreciation to leave you here today. Xiao Qiang, quickly lead him to the back!"

Xu Lei always uses the most polite words to do the most ruthless things.

The father and son had long felt resentful, and now it was only right that they were made to bear the consequences.

Not long after the Xu family father and son went inside, the villa door opened again.

Xu Lei knew today would be exceptionally lively. When the door opened, Cheng Cheng came in carrying a bunch of things.

"There's been no movement on the Mud Snail Village project these past few days, so I had to go shopping at '103'. I hope you don't mind if I swiped your card?"

Xu Lei never cared what Chengcheng bought.

After all, even if he maxed out his card, it would only be a matter of a few hundred thousand yuan, which Xu Lei could easily earn back with a snap of his fingers.

What he hates is that some people disregard their own reputation and sell counterfeit mobile phones.

"What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

After handing all the bags and clothes she had bought to the housekeeper, Chengcheng sat down next to Xu Lei.

Seeing that the tea in his hand had gone cold, but he still wouldn't put it down, I thought I'd go over and get him a hot cup of tea.

However, Xu Lei held the cup tightly in his hand, showing no intention of handing it over to him.

"Did something happen? Why do you look so pale?"

Chengcheng asked in a low voice, a hint of worry on her face.

"Something has happened, and it's a really big one!"

Chengcheng had a vague sixth sense, but Xu Lei hadn't said it yet. He didn't want to reveal his bottom line so soon.

"The Xu family came by just now."

Xu Lei only mentioned it briefly, but Chengcheng's expression changed drastically.

"They came to talk to me about the Mud Snail Village project, since no one else dares to take on that project except me."

"They naturally need to offer some proof of their loyalty, and that proof is that they need to tell me who is behind these counterfeit phones?"

Xu Lei turned to look at Cheng Cheng.

Chengcheng sat upright on the sofa, her relaxed expression gone.

"Really? It would be great if we could find out who's behind this!"

"But that Xu family father and son... are notoriously wicked!"

"Don't let him lead you by the nose. Even if he says something, you have to think about it carefully."

Xu Lei was surprised that he was quite eloquent, and that he had even paved the way for his own future.

“You’re right, there are some things that you can’t just believe from one side of the story, so I came here to ask you.”

As soon as Xu Lei said this, he stared intently at him, as if he wanted an explanation from him.

At this moment, Xu Jianguo was listening from the side, sweating profusely. Xiao Xu was being closely guarded by Xiao Qiang and his men.

They dared not utter a word, only awaiting Xu Lei's verdict...

"Don't joke around with me!"

"I'm just a woman, all I want to do is borrow from you. I just want you to help me get some projects, so I can have something to do."

"Would the Xu family father and son try to frame me?"

"Don't believe him!"

"They'll say anything to clear themselves of any wrongdoing. Xu Lei, you're the smartest one here, don't be fooled by their few words!"

Chengcheng rushed to Xu Lei in a panic, knelt on the ground, and looked terrified.

Xu Lei's expression remained unchanged as he silently watched her defend herself in front of him.

"It's Xu Jianguo..."

"He told me that he could find people to get those mobile phone factories, their employees, and the raw materials for mobile phones."

"They said this phone wouldn't cause any big trouble, and that only one batch would be produced, so I actually took the money for one batch."

"After that, I don't know if they were secretly messing around or doing other things on their own."

Chengcheng squatted on the ground, her eyes filled with despair, while Xu Jianguo, who was in the living room next door, felt even more desperate and wanted to scream after hearing these words.

But before he could even shout, Xiaoqiang and the others covered his mouth.

"Speak up, then listen quietly here."

After being silenced by this person, they felt incredibly wronged but were unable to express their grievances.

"Since you've been with me, whatever you need, I'll give you!"

"I've never troubled you with anything like this before, but you repay me with this. Isn't that a bit cruel?"

Xu Lei smiled slightly, his eyes fixed on her.

I wanted to get an answer from her, but the final result was still heartbreaking.

"not me."

Xu Lei clapped his hands, and Xiao Qiang pulled the Xu family father and son out from inside.

"If I didn't have ample evidence, I would never have suspected my own people!"

"Since you've been with me, I've given you the best in everything—food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Is this how you repay me?"

The moment Chengcheng saw the Xu family father and son, she instantly broke down.

All the easy profits he had in his hands had vanished, and he truly had no idea how things had turned out this way!

At first, he really just wanted to make some money, but now everything is out of control and he can't stop himself.

"Xu Lei's matter has nothing to do with us!"

"We're also very wronged..."

"When you make decisions, you can't just listen to one side of the story; you have to listen to our side too!"
