In this way, Xu Lei killed two birds with one stone, letting them all know that he was not someone who could be easily controlled.
Since Xu Lei already understands the intricacies of this situation, it would be incredibly foolish for him to pretend nothing had happened.
"These guys always think they can take me down with just a few words."
"But I need to make it clear to them that they can't just do whatever they want now."
A wicked smile crept across his lips.
Xiaoqiang felt extremely relieved.
After all, everyone was very anxious when the warehouse caught fire, and they still knew that this matter should not be underestimated.
Xu Lei remained motionless, while Xiao Qiang grew increasingly anxious, feeling as if he were being bullied, yet nothing happened.
Now Xu Lei has directly turned them into this state.
· ······Requesting flowers· ········
Xiaoqiang was incredibly happy and proud.
"What are you laughing at? Ever since you found out about the fire at Jiang Tian's warehouse, you haven't stopped smiling. It's a bit too obvious."
Xu Lei said helplessly, while Xiao Qiang was still extremely proud, feeling that Jiang Tian was really asking too much of him.
"They were in the wrong first."
"I'm just watching this as a joke. These people, relying on the resources they have, start doing all sorts of bad things."
"We need to let them know that our group is not to be trifled with."
Seeing this, Xu Lei could only smile helplessly, while Shi Liu seemed to have received a message at that moment.
He rushed over to ask if Xu Lei was really in the right place at that moment.
"My father has already come to me. Since you can handle this matter, don't involve any more people."
. . .
Sixteen was afraid that he would make the situation too bad, and then everyone would be unable to handle it.
It would be awkward for both sides, and that would be a real dilemma.
But Xu Lei had already made preparations. Since they didn't want to let it go, Xu Lei had to show his attitude.
"But these guys have used underhanded tactics before, and what I'm doing now is just a small trick."
"Don't worry, I know exactly what to do, and I won't make things awkward for myself!"
"Back then, when Dad went to ask when, you had no idea how arrogant Jiang Tian was..."
Xu Lei said speechlessly, but Shi Liu shrugged, thinking that this was indeed the way that guy did it.
“After all these years, he hasn’t changed at all, and you’re such a tough nut to crack.”
"Now, you two are really locked in a battle of wills."
Shi Liu knew Xu Lei's temperament, so she didn't say much, only instructing him to do things well.
"I'll have someone keep an eye on Buckingham's side. Don't focus on the Mud Snail Village project these next few days."
"Go back and visit more often when you have time."
After Shi Liu finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Xu Lei alone to think carefully about when to resolve this matter.
It seems that Gao Qiqiang has received the news.
"Boss Jiang came to see me again, saying that the project has encountered some problems recently?"
Gao Qiqiang got straight to the point and revealed all the hidden details, to which Xu Lei feigned surprise.
Chapter 203 Cutting Project Chains
"Oh, is it so?"
"Why are there so many problems with the construction team lately? My place just caught fire, and now theirs has another problem. What's going on?!"
Seeing that the other person was still pretending to be stupid.
Gao Qiqiang knew that Xu Lei was no ordinary person and was seriously discussing this matter with him, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Since you want to play dumb, I won't press you. But Jiang Tian already knows he was wrong and just wants to discuss this with you. Can't this kind of thing keep going on and on?"
"His goods are ready to be put into production immediately."
Xu Lei felt somewhat helpless and surprised when Gao Qiqiang tried to mediate again.
"That sounds so familiar. Didn't he try to mediate between us before, saying he wanted to have a good talk with me? You probably still remember what he did at the teahouse that day."
Gao Qiqiang was somewhat embarrassed, as he had indeed acted as a go-between last time.
Who knew that guy would cause such a commotion and even burn down the warehouse.
Xu Lei is determined to have a thorough discussion with him this time. Everyone is smart enough to know how many problems there are, so why pretend to be confused?
Xu Lei had no desire to continue arguing with him. He simply advised Gao Qiqiang to be careful lately.
"I've never been the type to like joining in the fun..."
"Everyone knows how to solve this!"
"If Jiang Tian really wants all this equipment he has now, he'll have to show some attitude."
"If you can't just say it, then so be it." See?
Xu Lei finally relented, and Gao Qiqiang tacitly approved of the matter.
"Don't worry, I'm just passing on the message. Whether the deal goes through or not is none of my business."
Thinking back to what that guy had done before, Gao Qiqiang really didn't want to get involved in this mess.
Xu Lei saw that Jiang Tian was really not popular, so he silently nodded in agreement.
"Alright, if we can figure this out, then we won't trouble you with this."
Gao Qiqiang was very happy to hear Xu Lei say that.
"Hey Boss Gao, what exactly did that guy learn from you?"
"You've been in business for so many years, and you've made me come here time and time again to plead for him. You should know what kind of person he is..."
"Don't let that kid bite you again."
Gao Qiqiang knew that Xu Lei was reminding him, so he could only nod silently.
There wasn't really any personal connection between us; we were just doing business together.
"It's just because of my father that I turn a blind eye to many things."
Xu Lei nodded slightly, then remembered his father's instructions. He knew that continuing to mess around with Jiang Tian like this would probably be pointless, so he asked someone to make preparations in advance so he could have a good talk with him later.
Sure enough, within two days, Jiang Tian's temper flared up, and he adopted an attitude of admitting his mistake.
Xu Lei noticed that he looked much more haggard overnight. Before, he looked very refined, with a tie, suit, and brooch all in perfect condition.
However, in the past two days, his face has become haggard and his appearance has changed drastically.
Xu Lei almost didn't recognize him, but he didn't take it to heart. If he hadn't gone looking for trouble, how could things have turned out like this?
We're all respectable people, and we've been doing business together for so many years. It's best if we can be more sincere with each other!
Don't treat others like fools, so Xu Lei doesn't care at all about owing him this much.
She didn't even have many thoughts, but was secretly delighted that he knew she wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Otherwise, they might cause some strange or unpleasant things to happen here in the future.
Xu Lei cannot tolerate such a person under his command.
"Mr. Xu, it's been a long time."
He spoke with a Hong Kong accent, and Xu Lei could tell that there was a hint of despondency in his words.
"Oh my, Mr. Jiang, it's been so long!"
"I've been busy with the Niluo Village project and haven't had time to think about it. I heard that your warehouse also caught fire."
Xu Lei knew perfectly well, but he still pretended to be very surprised.
Xu Lei told him to be careful and not to always treat others like fools.
Seeing that Xu Lei was still pretending to be confused, it was clear that he wanted to use the same old tricks again, to return the favor he had done to Xu Lei.
Now, when he saw the person in front of him, he felt a chill run down his spine.
This person was far more terrifying than he had imagined; the abilities he possessed far exceeded his expectations and imagination.
So I felt incredibly terrible.
"I know I wasn't very meticulous in my work before!"
"I didn't give you much face in front of your father either. Young people, sometimes it's okay to care a little about saving face. I've come here to apologize to you..."
Jiang Tian lowered his head silently, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Look how much he's been through these past two days.
After all, Xu Lei taking away his building materials was tantamount to cutting off his left and right arms.
All projects were unable to proceed, but Xu Lei was still reluctant to forgive him so quickly, feeling somewhat speechless.
"Oh, what you're saying is a bit confusing to me. I only heard that your warehouse caught fire!"
"The goods were also lost. Why didn't you hurry up and find a solution? Why did you come here to bow your head and admit your mistake?"
"Aren't you, Boss Jiang, always the most capable, never admitting your mistakes?"
Xu Lei has always had a knack for gossiping, especially after the verbal humiliation he inflicted in the teahouse.
He even wanted to have someone kidnap him. Xu Lei was determined to vent his anger, and Jiang Tian quickly smiled.
"I was just kidding!"
"Your young man isn't the most playful, is he? He wouldn't be so petty!"
“You are a man of great things, Mr. Xu, don’t let such a trivial matter damage our harmony.”
Xu Lei looked somewhat surprised and deliberately feigned an expression of astonishment.
"Oh, Mr. Xu..."
"There's still room for us to have amicable discussions. I think you're joking!"
"What else is there to talk about between us besides our grudges? I'm really impressed with you."
"Since we've already fallen out, why are you pretending to be all love and good fortune? If you ask me, we should just do what needs to be done!"
"If you lose your things, send someone to look for them right away, or call the police!"
"Anyway, I have no objection. I can't just accept your apology, can I?"
"That's just not true."
As Xu Lei spoke, his tone was full of sarcasm, and Jiang Tian shook his head helplessly.
"Then tell me, what should I do for you to forgive me and return the goods to me?"
"I'm truly at my wit's end now."
"Your business is booming right now, you wouldn't want to keep bothering me over such a small matter, would you? You're a person who handles big things, don't stoop to my level!"
Chapter 204 Getting Started
Xu Lei was somewhat surprised to see that he had adopted such a humble posture.
This is completely different from what I saw in the teahouse a couple of days ago.
Xu Lei stared at him meaningfully, and he could only cough awkwardly.
"I know that my attitude was a bit bad before."
"I came here specifically to apologize to you. How should we resolve this matter?"
"Speak, I have no objections."
Seeing him turn his head and look so serious, Xu Lei almost couldn't help but laugh.
"You know, wouldn't it have been better if you had done things this way from the beginning? Wouldn't it have been better if everyone could have done business peacefully and harmoniously?"
