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

Page 333

Add in the taxes deducted in the process, and it's a considerable sum of money. Roughly calculated, a single trip can save millions.

This was no small sum, so Xu Lei knew that this connection had to be secured.

"It may seem a bit difficult, but it can be done."

After all, my construction team will need to use waterways in the future, and I can't keep being held back by these guys forever..."

Xu Lei found out where Old Pete was and went to see him in person.

Old Pete was also very nervous when he saw Xu Lei suddenly arrive, after all, he had dealt with Xu Lei before.

Knowing that he has a wide network of connections and is ruthless, I don't want to offend him at this critical juncture.

So he hurriedly stepped forward, smiling darkly, while Xu Lei simply waved his hand.

"Stop grinning at me like that. I helped you a lot last time; it's time for you to repay the favor..."

Xu Lei smiled slightly, but the smile in his eyes was quite unsettling. Xu Lei had helped him solve a very big problem before.

It's because this kid got into trouble while drunk and was beaten up pretty badly, and he's been chased around everywhere.

Now that Xu Lei has helped him resolve this matter, it's time to use his manpower.

If this guy dares to stammer or give vague answers, Xu Lei will definitely not let him off the hook.

“I really did ask about this for you. I'm not saying I want to run away from it.”

The main problem is that there are so many issues involved; the two of us definitely wouldn't be able to handle it."

Xu Lei realized that the incident on January 1.9th had caused quite a bit of trouble.

"You know how important this waterway is to me, and I'm thinking of making a little more money along the way."

When people go out to do business, they're simply looking for money and a stable life.

Otherwise, could you help me set up a connection, build a bridge, and see if this matter can be resolved more leniently?

Let's all make money peacefully; there's no need to make things so bloody.

Chapter 466 Unbelievable

Since Xu Lei had already said that, the other party didn't dare to refuse; they just wanted Xu Lei to be mentally prepared in advance.

"The main issue is the person in charge. He's a foreigner, and you might not have known him well before."

The Russians are known for their tough talk and their very demanding conditions.

He also controls some building materials on two continents, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell you this is difficult. I know you've always been easygoing.

They don't really care about these kinds of things, but these kinds of people are all desperate to make a living.

When it comes to scheming about these things, they can be incredibly ruthless. 17

That's why I was thinking of introducing it to you later; it's also for your safety.

Xu Lei thought to himself that this guy was actually quite capable.

"Then I have to thank you."

Xu Lei patted his head. This guy was actually quite sensible. Xu Lei smiled slightly.

"Please introduce me to someone. No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely get it done."

I have so many men under my command, and they all need to eat. Are they going to starve from now on?

Upon hearing Xu Lei's words, the other party quickly smiled and offered to help make the contact.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is arranged for you. I absolutely won't let you get involved in such a trivial matter."

This guy actually makes some sense; Xu Lei knows that Old Pete is short of money lately.

What's more, this guy also loves to drink and usually idles away his time; now we need him.

Xu Lei naturally had to show his appreciation, so he took out a stack of envelopes from his pocket.

This is full of red banknotes; Xu Lei knows this guy has a lot of trouble on his hands.

"Don't say I don't think of you when I have good things to do. You've helped me solve this problem today."

You'll definitely get your share of the benefits. When have you ever seen me make my men work for me for free?

If you handle this matter well, you'll definitely reap the rewards.

So don't hesitate to use your limited strength to help me out; you'll benefit from it later.

Having said all that, the other party naturally understood that Xu Lei was determined.

He was determined to get this done, and no one could stop him. Old Pete understood that now.

"Okay, boss, since you've put it this way, I understand what you mean."

Just you wait and see, I'll definitely do a great job.

"We will absolutely not allow this matter to involve anyone or anything else again."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei thought it actually made sense.

"Why didn't you do this earlier? I trust you to handle things, not others."

I always felt like something was missing, so teaching you made me feel much more at ease.

After saying that, he smiled slightly and told the other person that he was there to help out.

Naturally, they would receive generous rewards, and Xu Lei has always been very generous to his subordinates.

They all witnessed these things, and no one dared to joke around with Xu Lei about such matters.

"This person's name is Pete. I've already contacted him for you. He'll be coming to this dock next Wednesday."

But he doesn't meet people in private. He's incredibly arrogant, boss. You'd better bring plenty of men with you."

Taking the money really makes a difference; Old Pete immediately started treating Xu Lei like himself.

The boss even meticulously planned the meeting for him, but Xu Lei only smiled slightly and said that he was there to discuss business properly.

We're not here to fight anyone!

If the other party wants to have a proper conversation, Xu Lei will definitely give them that opportunity.

Chapter 467 Peace Talk

To show his sincerity, Xu Lei came alone this time, while Xiao Qiang and the other brothers waited outside.

Once inside, they found a group of bodyguards standing next to Old Pete.

It seems that he is very wary of me this time, and Xu Lei is only here to resolve the matter.

After all, Gao Qiqiang had already come to him for help, so Xu Lei was determined to reopen the land and water route.

Old Pete was visibly surprised when he saw Xu Lei.

"I never expected you to be such a young man. I heard from Apple that you were at least fifty years old."

Xu Lei laughed and didn't take the matter to heart.

"This is my assistant, Hong Xinxin. I hope you can be more relaxed while you're here."

Xu Lei glanced sideways at the woman named Hong Xinxin, who was wearing sky-high heels.

Dressed in a leather jacket, he looked exceptionally dashing. Although he was an assistant, Xu Lei felt that he looked more like a bodyguard standing in front of him.

The murderous aura emanating from her eyes made Xu Lei wary of this woman.

"Of course I don't mind. We're just having a normal chat. Please do whatever is convenient for you and whatever you're comfortable with."

Xu Lei first adopted a humble attitude, since it wasn't appropriate to ask others for favors.

He had spoken too harshly, so Xu Lei immediately adopted a very humble demeanor.

"I didn't come here for any other reason than to talk to you about something that happened before."

Before Xu Lei could finish speaking, Old Pete interrupted him.

“Hong Xinxin, go ahead and bring out the tea I collected before. It’s top-quality green tea, I’m sure you’ll like it.”

After saying that, he chuckled with a benevolent expression, but Xu Lei always felt that there was a scheming motive hidden behind that kind face.

Before Xu Lei could finish speaking, the other party impatiently expressed his helplessness.

Moreover, Xu Lei had only just begun to try to get to the point with him, but the other party didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the conversation.

Xu Lei knew this trip would be very difficult, but he had to be patient and continue talking to the other party. Xu Lei just nodded slightly.

"I'm fine with anything, and I'm sure your tea is of the highest quality. I'd be very happy to drink it."

Xu Lei maintained a gentle and refined demeanor, but this time he needed someone's help.

He couldn't act too recklessly; even at home, Gao Qiqiang, the assassin, was very anxious.

He shared that he and Xu Lei went together, but Xu Lei insisted on going alone.

This really worried Gao Qiqiang, who was afraid that Old Pete would use this to embarrass Xu Lei.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu is the most capable of taking things in stride, and he has always believed in one thing."

That's because those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles; even if old Pete tries to make things difficult for him, he's unlikely to start a fight on the spot.

Cabbage thought Gao Qiqiang was worried that Xu Lei would lose his temper and start a fight with him.

Unexpectedly, Gao Qiqiang was worried that the other party would not actually take action, and instead talked to him calmly.

"I know Old Pete better than anyone; he'll definitely see Xu Lei begging him."

They'll put on airs and say the most hurtful things.

I can figure it out even with my toes, that's why I'm so worried about it.

Gao Qiqiang was worried that the other party might use this opportunity to intimidate him.

Moreover, he used foul language, which caused Xu Lei to suffer (the king's) injustice.

Xu Lei came to help him with something, and he didn't want things to get so messy.

"It can't be that bad. Everyone's here to do business. Even if old Pete is clueless, he wouldn't embarrass others at this crucial moment."

After pondering for a moment, Cabbage cautiously asked, worried about Xu Lei's situation. Gao Qiqiang only gave a cold snort.

"At this point, we can only leave it to fate."

Hearing such a comment made Cabbage gasp.

Chapter 468 Seizure

Xu Lei had already drunk two or three cups of tea, but Old Pete was still talking about the dangers he encountered during his adventures in the Atlantic.

Moreover, one sentence followed another, leaving Xu Lei no room to interject.

Xu Lei was extremely anxious while doing this, and he consciously glanced down at his watch.

Half an hour had passed, and Xu Lei knew that his trip to see Old Pete was bound to encounter some resistance.

But to his surprise, the other party turned out to be a soft ball of cotton, and he couldn't hit the other party in one go.

Moreover, the other party's attitude was extremely good, and even if Xu Lei wanted to find fault, he couldn't.

Old Pete immediately served the best green tea, letting Xu Lei drink it here first.

Moreover, he was very polite during the conversation and did not make any excessive gestures.

This is what made them both very upset.

"I really didn't expect that we would become a bit estranged. I heard that you are also in the building materials business, so you and Gao Qiqiang should be considered colleagues."

Old Pete finally brought up the topic, and Xu Lei nodded quickly.

He stated that he came to discuss the location where their conflict occurred.

"Gao Qiqiang told me before that a batch of goods he had was detained by you."

So I thought (bhbj) could come over and have a detailed chat. We're all in business, and I realized I'll need your continued support on both land and sea routes in the future.

Xu Lei spoke very humbly, wanting Old Pete to know that he was definitely not there to cause trouble.

Instead, I wanted to have a serious talk with the other person about my thoughts and show him my sincerity.

Xu Lei quickly pulled out a box, which contained neatly stacked items.

The cash was at least one million, and Xu Lei felt that taking that was a way of making amends with the other party.
