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

Page 180

Xiao Xu has been protesting his innocence, and this is the last thing Xu Lei wanted to see.

But Xu Lei didn't want to put himself in any danger.

"I really didn't mean to, I really didn't..."

Chengcheng spoke softly, looking at him with a wronged expression.

"If you need money, you can tell me!"

"But you shouldn't keep pushing my boundaries. You know exactly where my bottom line is. Xiaolong phones are the culmination of my years of hard work!"

“I absolutely will not allow anyone to play tricks on me with this phone.”

Xu Jianguo was terrified at that moment.

Cheng 1.9 Cheng knew that since the matter had been exposed, she was powerless to refute it.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I know perfectly well that Xiaolong's phone is what you care about most, but I still had some ulterior motives."

"I always felt that producing one or two batches of counterfeit phones wouldn't cause any major problems."

"Then I thought, with Xiaolong's production lines spread out so widely now, even if there are counterfeit phones, even if there are one or two fakes, they won't suspect me..."

"It's because of this kind of mentality that I've ended up like this today, and I accept it all!"

Chengcheng knew that waiting any longer would not change anything, so she accepted everything.

Xu Lei sighed silently.

"You've been by my side for quite a while now, how come you're so confused about something like this?"

"Wait for me at the back."

Chapter 185 Malicious Intent

Chengcheng was led to the back by Xiaoqiang. Xiaoqiang was quite polite to her, after all, she was the boss's woman, so he had to be polite and courteous.

After Chengcheng left, it became clear that their turn was next.

So, the look in his eyes, filled with a hint of terror, showed just how frightened he was.

"Mr. Xu, about this matter..."

Before they could finish speaking, Xu Lei gestured for Xiao Qiang to go up and punch them.

This punch made it clear to them that no matter what, they should never have malicious intentions when doing business.

"This phone is the culmination of my hard work, as you all heard just now."

"If any quality issues arise with this counterfeit phone, it won't just damage the brand's reputation; it could even lead to someone's death!"

"You couldn't possibly have not thought of this step, yet you still went ahead and did it. Are your hearts made of stone?"

"It's a disgrace to be human, and many elderly people and children are using this phone."

"Aren't you really afraid of damaging your own karma?"

Xu Lei's tone was very serious, making it clear to the 17 of just how terrible what they were doing was.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jianguo was filled with both fear and regret.

He knew that if Xu Lei caught him now, he probably wouldn't survive.

Moreover, I had used so much cunning on him in the project in Mud Snail Village, which would definitely make him suspicious of me!

Therefore, this inner worry became even more intense.

“Where is the production line?”

Although Xu Lei had just managed to get a general location out of him, once he learned the exact location, Xu Lei instructed Xiao Qiang to find two capable people to report the production line to An Xin.

"Let's have this place shut down!"

Xu Lei felt that keeping such things would only cause harm to people.

"Boss Xu, look, the production line has been taken down. We really didn't do anything!"

Xu Lei was truly disappointed in his son, while Xiao Xu, standing nearby, was so scared that he didn't dare utter a sound.

He just kept whipping her, and Xu Jianguo was speechless.

At the crucial moment, his unfortunate son was completely useless. All he could do was cry and admit defeat, unable to utter a single complete sentence!

"I consider myself to be polite to everyone, even though everyone respects me and calls me 'boss'."

"But I've never done anything immoral or unethical, because I still have a bottom line in my heart. You two seem to be decent people!"

"Why do you do things so undignifiedly?"

Xu Lei's eyes showed a hint of disgust, and Xiao Qiang immediately called.

"Boss, Officer An has already raided that production line over there. They seized half a ton of electronic components!"

"These all serve as their evidence."

Xu Lei was surprised that they were really aggressive in sourcing goods, managing to produce so many counterfeit phones in just a few months.

Moreover, there are still so many components left. Xu Lei simply doesn't believe they acted out of momentary malice!

"Chengcheng, although you are a science major, you don't really understand these electronic devices."

"It seems that you provided a lot of support in this."

Xu Lei stared intently at them, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"This is a huge misunderstanding. I'm innocent... I'm innocent!"

Xu Jianguo had nothing left to argue for, and could only keep repeating his cries of injustice.

Xiao Xu, standing nearby, seemed to have a premonition of her tragic end, and began to sob uncontrollably, on the verge of tears.

The noise was giving Xu Lei a headache, so Xiao Qiang simply gagged him.

“I know this is negotiable, Mr. Xu. What you just said about the tight cash flow was all a warning to me.”

"Regarding the project in Mud Snail Village, what percentage of profit would you like me to give up?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei stood up and clapped vigorously at him.

"Old ginger is spicier!"

“You know, if you hadn’t pulled this stunt, I could have done business with you amicably, but you insisted on using this underhanded tactic.”

"Let me tell you, it's not that I don't understand; there are all sorts of intricacies involved, but I'm just too lazy to argue with you about them!"

Xu Jianguo nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, not daring to utter a single careless word.

The more they explained at this point, the more it would reveal that they were doing it on purpose. So, faced with this situation, they dared not say anything and could only repeatedly admit defeat.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you."

“I know you’ve been busy with this project for a long time, and it’s been a lot of trouble for me. Let’s each compromise and let me get this amount.”

As Xu Lei spoke, he raised two fingers.

"Two million?"

Xiao Xu was still trying to open his mouth to ask questions.

"Just kidding, I meant 20 million."

Xu Lei had given him that number from the very beginning, but the father and son were insatiable.

Xu Lei isn't a god of wealth; money doesn't fall from the sky. So, he was furious at their behavior.

Xiao Xu wanted to argue further, but Xu Jianguo sensed that the situation was not going well.

Since Xu Lei is willing to let them go, they shouldn't keep agonizing over it.

"We are extremely grateful that Mr. Xu has put aside past grievances and is willing to give us this opportunity."

He seemed to want to resolve the matter as quickly as possible and avoid causing any further problems.

Xu Jianguo had seen many people in the business world and knew their temperaments and personalities. He also knew that if he didn't know when to quit while he was ahead, he might lose both his money and his reputation!

So when 103 thought about this, he felt incredibly terrible and anxious.

"You're smart too. If you had done this earlier, would we have had to end up like this?"

Xu Lei gestured to Xiao Qiang, asking him to bring over all the contracts and documents he had.

"It's also my fault; I was greedy in this matter!"

"I thought that by taking a chance, I could find a way to survive, but I never expected that I would end up hurting myself and others!"

Xu Jianguo readily signed his name on it.

Although he knew in his heart that the amount was much less than expected, seeing Xu Lei and Xiao Qiang staring straight at him, Xu Jianguo knew that if he didn't know when to stop, he would only end up with nothing.

"After the contract is signed and goes through the legal department, I will have someone send it to you."

Xu Lei checked and saw that everything that needed to be signed had already been signed.

He nodded silently, signaling Xiaoqiang to have someone call a car for them to leave. As soon as they stepped out the door, Xiao Xu's legs went weak.

He relied on his father's power from a young age and kept a group of thugs under his command, who always listened to him.

But having truly escaped death today, Xiao Xu was suddenly overwhelmed...

They could only stare longingly at Xu Jianguo.

"What are you looking at, you little brat! You're a disgrace to me."

Xu Jianguo was both angry and resentful that his son was so useless, so easily revealing his trump card.

Chapter 186 Show Mercy!

Xiao Xu saw that Xu Lei was very flustered. In that situation, how could he care about strategy or tactics?

All they cared about was saving their own lives.

Especially Xu Lei, whose glare made him wish he could immediately let go of his legs and kneel down before him.

Xu Jianguo knew that his son was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. If he continued to argue with Xu Lei, the situation would not improve.

It's best to just take it easy and keep this matter safe for now, and get it sorted out first!

"Father, I didn't mean to..."

As Xiao Xu spoke, she sobbed pitifully, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

His initial intention was to earn more and take on more business.

After all, who doesn't like money?

I never imagined that failing to handle this matter properly would almost harm my father...

He felt both anxious and impatient.

"Alright, what are you still complaining about!"

"Xu Lei has already shown us great kindness by allowing us to get out of here unharmed."

"You little brat, stop showing off all the time."

"Learning more will not do you any harm in the future."

Xu Jianguo could only sigh heavily. After all this turmoil, Xu Jianguo finally understood that some things, once they belonged to him, were his.

If it's not yours, no matter how hard you try, you'll end up with nothing.

The current situation speaks for itself. After sending the Xu family father and son away, Xiaoqiang awaited his elder brother's next instructions.

"Let's call them out first."

This person is naturally referring to Chengcheng.

Xu Lei had known about this matter for a long time, knowing how many counterfeit phones were released into the market each month and how much profit was generated.

Xu Lei knew all about these things perfectly well.

However, he never revealed to Chengcheng that she was crying like a baby right now.

Chengcheng's face was streaked with tears, but his expression was resolute. He knew that Xu Lei had discovered many things about him this time, and he could no longer deny it.

"You want to prove to me that I know your abilities!"
