After all, there are many ways to repay him, so there's no need to rush.
"Alright, since that's the case, we won't refuse your request because of our brotherly bond."
Could you please handle Li Dahai's matter? Remember to let me know once it's resolved.
His father was also a pitiful man. He could have lived a life of integrity, but he had to bear this kind of crime because of his son.
Let's help him now, so we can meet again in the future.
Although Xiaoqiang didn't understand what Xu Lei was saying, he simply followed Xu Lei's instructions.
I felt that doing what the boss said was definitely the right thing to do.
"Okay, although I don't quite understand either, since you've put it this way, I'll definitely do as you say."
After saying that, he smiled slightly at the boss. Xu Lei was very satisfied, knowing that this guy had been doing things quite steadily lately.
He always handled the tasks assigned to him very efficiently, and he was always very satisfied with his work.
Let alone the current situation, I don't even have a detailed understanding of it yet. Even if I did understand everything, there would be no further changes.
Xu Lei's tactic of playing dumb allowed the tiger to directly acquire the land, which even Wang Jianguo admired.
"I heard that demolition and relocation are the most troublesome things here, unlike where we can easily resolve them with a few tricks. But aren't you worried about any potential problems with your appearance?"
Chapter 268 Happy Cooperation
Xu Lei saw that Wang Jianguo was very shocked by the question, and knew that she still didn't quite understand him. Although Xu Lei would do his best in everything he did.
But I will never leave any leverage for others, nor will I let others hate me.
"In business, I always believe in winning people over with emotion, rather than going to great lengths to end up with no one to talk to."
It would be better to use some tact in this matter to satisfy both sides; that would be the best approach, wouldn't it?
Xu Lei understood that this matter involved a large number of people, and that he himself had not yet achieved a good outcome.
They could only wait quietly to see how things would turn out; they could only wait there for now.
"That's good. Thai restaurants are getting bigger and bigger. If the mall project can really be built."
I think this will be a huge deal, and its impact on you will be earth-shattering.
After saying "183," Wang Jianguo gave Xu Lei a thumbs up. He really enjoyed working with Xu Lei.
He felt that Xu Lei was decisive and efficient, unlike the fussy and clingy people he had worked with before.
Every time I want to do something, I have to put it off for a long time, thinking about this and that.
In the end, all their opportunities were missed, and all they could do was cry and say goodbye.
Therefore, Xu Lei still had to do his best to salvage the situation in the face of such a method.
Furthermore, it won't reveal too many subtle decisions or expressions to others.
Xu Lei never shirks his responsibilities as long as he can do things within his capabilities.
"Isn't this what you said? Doing business requires both integrity and ruthlessness."
If you don't take a firm stance and do everything perfectly at a time like this, the opportunities will be given to others in the future.
Moreover, I thought the idea of a Thai restaurant was excellent from the very beginning, truly outstanding.
So with your support, this is all just a small matter.
After Xu Lei said this, the other party looked at him with even more respect, feeling that he was indeed quite reliable in his work.
"That's amazing. Now that's the case, our project can be considered officially launched. This way, neither of us has to worry about the other."
As he finished speaking, a subtle glint appeared in his eyes; he knew that everything was going even better than he had predicted.
Moreover, it was even more ingenious than expected; he just needed to continue persisting.
Everything will be more secure than expected, and there will be no further separation between us.
"That's good. I was worried that if things were delayed for too long, everyone would feel bad."
As you know, once this project starts, the profits involved will be in the hundreds of millions.
So I need to take care of relationships with everyone involved. Gao Xiaochen has been helping me with projects these past few days; I'm waiting for him to come back.
In his report, he's become more and more like an adult these days, and Xu Lei knows that Gao Xiaochen has a good heart.
Moreover, he is capable and talented, but his personality was too distorted before, so he always wanted to compete with his parents.
That's why I acted so disgracefully, but now I'm working for Xu Lei.
In the past six months, I have undergone a complete transformation, and the profits of the Thai restaurant project have soared, which is truly astonishing.
Many people started their own franchise stores, and Xu Lei's strategies were far better than expected. However, this move drew the attention of the catering industry association!
These people felt that Xu Lei acted without any sense of martial ethics and never considered the feelings between them.
They cut off all their escape routes, leaving them stranded with nowhere to turn.
Therefore, when the Chamber of Commerce was held again, Xu Lei became the target of public criticism, and everyone was outraged by him.
"Mr. Xu, it's fine if you make money, but you don't need to block everyone's escape route."
Do you know how much money everyone has lost since your Thai restaurant opened?
Xu Lei sat back in his chair with his hands clasped together, listening to them talking to him.
But they felt that their accusations were more like a sign of incompetence, and that their rage had nothing to do with them.
Everyone earns money through their own abilities, so why are these people so eager to take advantage of the money they've earned and then yell at them?
Xu Lei didn't jump up and scold them when they were making money.
Even though Xu Lei felt resentful in various ways, he still patiently talked to them about the developments of the whole matter and made them prepare.
Stop treating yourself like an enemy. Xu Lei gave them chances before, but now these people are throwing their dirty laundry in his face.
Leading the group was Zhang Haitian, the owner of the Blue Ocean Hotel. He stood up and immediately launched into a tirade against Xu Lei.
"If the catering industry were all run like you, prioritizing speed over quality..."
Do you think this is good for our chamber of commerce? Does it do anything to improve our business environment?
You're still too young; you always think about short-term gains. If you continue like this...
If there's a food safety issue on your end, people will still come out to eat, and you won't be the only one who gets hurt.
Our purpose in establishing this chamber of commerce is to improve the overall environment and ensure that everyone can benefit.
After hearing Zhang Haitian's words, Xu Lei finally understood: Zhang Haitian felt that he hadn't made any money.
Seeing Xu Lei making money, he was envious. At that moment, the chairman of the chamber of commerce walked away silently, wanting to see them and discuss the second party first.
"Chairman, please give us a straight answer. We have reported this to you many times before, but I feel that you are covering it up."
Upon hearing Zhang Haitian's words, Zhu Xi's face immediately changed, and Xu Lei had no choice but to step forward.
"From what Mr. Zhang is saying, it seems like I'm the one who bet on everyone's path to making money, and that's how I found out."
But honestly, what does this have to do with me? Besides, Mr. Zhang just said that I ruined the whole environment.
Did my restaurant discover a food safety problem, or did rats or other unclean things escape again?
But looking at you, Mr. Zhang, you've already received three food safety complaints this month alone, haven't you?
Xu Lei spoke logically and with evidence, without contradicting him or embarrassing him.
Moreover, every single word he uttered hit the mark perfectly, prompting him to reflect on his actions before speaking further.
Xu Lei acts entirely out of conscience, and since the other party is trying to put him in such an awkward position...
Xu Lei doesn't need to give him any face; he may be young, but that doesn't mean he's easy to bully!
Xu Lei simply smiled as he recounted everything, and inwardly he felt particularly disdainful of these guys.
Xu Lei had plenty of ways to subdue them, but he was too lazy to argue with them.
So the disdain in his eyes was all genuine.
"To put it bluntly, everyone understands this matter; there's no need for this sarcastic tone."
You're all just jealous because I've made money, and you're trying to squeeze a quick buck out of me.
But let me tell you, not everyone is easy to bully.
But this one thing alone is enough for me to subdue you.
Chapter 269 Forced Buying and Selling
Xu Lei knew that even the chairman of the chamber of commerce should not force people to buy or sell.
I haven't disrupted any order, and the Thai restaurant is running very smoothly without any problems.
There was no safety hazard whatsoever; they are simply trying to find fault with him.
Xu Lei now understands that these guys are just looking for a show and aren't afraid of things getting out of hand.
They only feel at ease when they've created all this trouble.
“You might think I’m young and easy to deal with, and sometimes you can scare me out of my wits with just a few words.”
But let me tell you, you've really messed with the wrong person this time. However, I'm not going to tolerate this.
"What am I supposed to do after that? You all know we all got here based on our own abilities."
After Xu Lei finished speaking, the surrounding area calmed down, and everyone who saw Xu Lei's eyes dared not confirm it anymore.
Xu Lei knew they were guilty, so he sometimes ignored them.
It's because they haven't yet touched their core interests, so it's fine.
I was too lazy to have any contact with them anyway, and now everything has been settled.
My first quarterly bills for 17 have already been released.
"If you feel that I threaten your existence, you are free to change your mind."
Instead of slandering or even hindering the development of our restaurant.
This is what you call creating a better business environment? I don't see it at all.
Xu Lei's words immediately turned the group's faces pale.
At that moment, the chairman coughed twice to let them quiet down for a while.
"Old Zhang, you're an old man, why do you have to be so aggressive?"
I think Xu Lei is right; everyone should demand changes, especially since they haven't disrupted market order.
Hearing that even the chairman was protecting Xu Lei, the remaining people dared not speak anymore.
Moreover, everyone understands that these things are best left unsaid, and everyone earns their living through their own abilities.
There's no need for so many twists and turns or unspoken rules.
"All our profits are transparent, and you are welcome to check them anytime if you wish."
But as long as everyone competes fairly, it's not as bad as it seems.
After Xu Lei finished speaking, he simply looked at them and told them to take care of themselves.
It's best to stop while you're ahead and not make things so unpleasant for everyone. This chamber of commerce meeting ended on bad terms.
But Zhang Haitian was known for his stubbornness, and he was furious when he heard Xu Lei being so disrespectful to him at the meeting.
His face immediately turned ashen, knowing that he was a tough nut to crack, no matter what, he relied on such a big restaurant.
We can't let such a small chain store be brought down.
"Damn it, he's barely grown his hair yet and dares to talk back to me in a meeting. I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget."
He thought that just because he said a few words, I wouldn't dare to do anything about it. I've been around this place for so many years.
When I was out there making my way in the world, he was still a nobody.
As soon as Zhang Haitian finished speaking, his lackeys quickly came up and made do.

"Boss, but Xu Lei is really hard to deal with, not to mention that he has Xu Jiang behind him."
