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

Otherwise, there will definitely be major hidden dangers in the future, and thinking about this makes me feel worried.

He knew that it had been a long and difficult journey to get to where things were today, and that it might not have caused so much damage.

"Don't make any rash moves recently. Tell your men to be alert and the security personnel to be on guard."

Beware of anyone stealing our materials, and also be wary of arson.

Xu Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in deep doubt.

He knew that Jiang Tian's visit to him today was neither accidental nor intentional.

The company isn't doing this to repay debts or favors; it needs to have some other peculiar odor.

As expected, Xu Lei (Li Hao) the assassin stared at the surveillance video on his phone.

I discovered that Jiang Tian and Cheng Cheng had bumped into each other and had been talking for at least four or five minutes.

The various issues involved made Xu Lei somewhat suspicious, as he knew there was a lot hidden in this matter.

The impact will be enormous.

"Is something the matter, boss?"

Just as Xiaoqiang asked the question, everything had already changed.

"It's no use. Xu Lei knew from the knocking that Chengcheng had come over."

"Alright, you can go down now, Huo."

When Chengcheng came in, she saw that Xu Lei was holding a lunchbox and was about to eat, and she felt a little sorry for him.

"Why are you eating here? I'll tell the cafeteria to set aside a separate boxed lunch for you from now on."

Or you could tell the restaurant next door to deliver the food at a set time.

You're so busy eating every day; it would be terrible if you didn't eat well.

Chapter 246 Problems at the Construction Site

Chengzi was still extremely surprised. Xu Lei's lifestyle was very simple. Seeing this, Xu Lei decided to give her another chance.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

The fact that no one was asking Xu Lei left him somewhat at a loss.

"What's wrong with you? Have you been too tired lately?"

While helping him tidy up, she casually asked him a question. Xu Lei saw that she didn't intend to be honest with him, so he shook his head slightly.

"It's nothing. Maybe it's really like you said. I'm a bit tired lately. I'll rest for a couple of days after I finish this project."

After Xu Lei finished speaking, his eyes remained fixed on Chengzi; he wanted to give Chengzi a chance.

It would be best if he could take the initiative to explain what he had done. Xu Lei and he had worked hard for many years and did not want things to turn out like this, making everyone look bad.

"What's wrong with you? You've been acting strange lately. You must be really tired..."

"Now you can go and rest. I told you a long time ago about things at the construction site. You don't need to stay here and keep an eye on things; I'll handle it."

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Xu Lei had no choice but to nod.

"Yes, I've always trusted you to get things done."

After saying that, Xu Lei just patted his shoulder and told him that he was 153cm tall and needed to rest.

On the way back, Jiang Tian looked extremely unhappy. He hadn't expected Xu Lei to have handled things so well.

They even put their hands on him; how could he possibly tolerate such an insult?

"Boss, how about we make a move beforehand and let him know we're not to be messed with?"

Jiang Tian also felt that it was really disrespectful to him, but he still couldn't act rashly.

"Without my orders, have your men get it done. Don't let them mess around. If they alert the enemy, I'll hold you accountable."

Jiang Tian seems to be playing a long game, and he is determined to win it.

The old man got a little wind of it and thought of calling the two of them together.

Xu Lei wanted to give himself some face and discuss the matter. He had been extremely busy with the project these past two days.

Moreover, the entire project has reached its most critical stage, and Xu Lei is on the construction site every day.

Gao Xiaochen and I worked together to review many of the materials to prevent anyone from cutting corners.

"Boss, do you think there's something wrong with these materials lately?"

Looking at Xu Lei, who had been standing around the pile of sand and cement for a full hour, Gao Xiaochen was somewhat suspicious.

But the weight and the handover documents seemed correct.

"You should just look at this directly. You won't understand anything by just looking at these materials."

After all, each time they make a handover, they only need to make sure the weight and the amount of money match.

As for the quality inspection of the materials, they had already done so a long time ago.

Therefore, they don't invest too much in such small matters as major projects; these are usually handed over to large building materials companies.

Therefore, we would never dare to skimp on this kind of thing or use inferior materials.

"This time it's really uncertain."

After saying this, Xu Lei fixed his gaze on the pile of sand in front of him.

Gao Xiaochen was a little curious and didn't know what Xu Lei was talking about, but looking at the pile of sand, she didn't think much of it.

But strangely, there was nothing surprising about it.

"Boss, do you think there's something wrong with this pile of sand?"

Gao Xiaochen squatted down to look at the sand that was several meters high. He squatted down and touched it with his hand.

However, he spent too little time on the construction site, as he was mainly responsible for transporting goods in the warehouse.

I looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.

"What's the difference between this sand and the previous ones?"

Although Gao Xiaochen couldn't answer Xu Lei's question, Xiao Qiang was very quick-witted and immediately went to another pile of sand.

I shoveled back the sand that was left over from before, and the difference was immediately apparent when I compared the two.

The sand in this pile now contains far too much Saudi Arabian sand, and it's clearly not the same as the batch I ordered before.

“Even though those sediments had been stored for a long time, you can still tell that the goods are not right. Open this bag of cement for me.”

Xu Lei was about to conduct a spot check when Chengzi rushed over.

Its appearance seemed quite abrupt. Xiaoqiang paused in his attempt to cut open the cement bag, unsure whether to continue.

Her hand awkwardly froze in mid-air; Orange seemed to understand why the assassin Xu Lei had come.

"What's wrong?"

Orange's voice trembled. He was afraid that this matter would be exposed, and even more afraid that what he had done would be made public.

By then, he would have lost all his last bit of trust, which would only make things worse. Xu Lei looked him up and down.

"It's nothing, I was just bored and thought I'd have him carry a bag of cement over there."

"Could you repair that staircase over there? It's too narrow; it's inconvenient to go up and down at night."

Xu Lei casually made up an excuse, seemingly about oranges. He relaxed, a subtle glint in his eyes.

"Hey, so that's what it is. I'll find two workers, and they can get it done for you this afternoon."

Xu Lei quickly waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.

"Let Xiaoqiang do this. He's free anyway. The workers' tasks are fixed, so don't let them get distracted by such trivial matters."

After Xu Lei left, Chengzi squatted down again to examine the sand, becoming even more cautious.

It was a dark and windy night, and Chengzi was a little scared in Jiang Tian's car.

"I don't want to do this anymore."

Jiang Tian snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Now you're saying you don't want to work here anymore, Mr. Cheng, isn't that a bit insincere?"

Do you think Xu Lei will still tolerate you if you go back now? You've betrayed him twice.

If I had known this day would come, what good would it have been to have a relationship with him?

"You've been with him for years, and he can give you millions. But will that money actually end up in your own hands?"

Chengzi clenched his fists, his heart filled with conflict, knowing that doing so would be a betrayal of Xu Lei.

He desperately needed money but couldn't bring himself to ask Xu Lei. His parents were suddenly critically ill, leaving Chengzi with no way out.

Even though he knew that cooperating with Jiang Tian had completely crossed Xu Lei's bottom line.

But he still had no other choice but to grit his teeth and bear it.

Seeing that Chengzi remained silent, Jiang Tian knew that he had been persuaded. Since he had already turned Chengzi against Chengzi, he could not show him any pity.

"Since you've decided to become a spy, you should see this path through to the end."

What if things turn out differently? Don't always assume that your loyalty will earn you judgment.

These days, money is the most useful thing. Money can save lives and make people live longer, don't you think?

Then Jiang Tian stuffed another bank card into Chengzi's hand, partly to help him out of his immediate predicament and partly to put him at ease.

He was exposed in front of Xu Lei.

“He had already noticed something today. I saw him, Xiaoqiang, and Gao Xiaochen studying the sand and cement for a long time.”

Chengzi's voice trembled slightly; he was truly afraid that Xu Lei would discover something amiss.

Chapter 247 Settling Accounts

When he saw that Chengzi's voice was trembling with fear, Jiang Tian's eyes immediately turned fierce and his face darkened.

"Don't always boost others' morale while diminishing your own. Xu Lei, what kind of person are you?"

I'm telling you, sooner or later I'll teach him a lesson he won't dare utter a single word.

He thought he could keep in control for as long as possible, and that he could turn the world upside down.

Now that he's in my hands, I won't let him get away with anything.

Then just shut your mouth and do your own thing.

Although Orange was angry, she looked at the bank card that was her lifeline.

He silently nodded and agreed to the matter, while Jiang Tian was worried that the two people beside him would give Xu Lei advice.

"Gao Xiaochen was originally a spoiled brat, but recently he has become so ambitious."

Since that's the case, let's find a way to give him something to do.

Jiang Tian planned to cut off Xu Lei's right and left arms first, otherwise he would just think that the other party was too smug.

Xu Lei had just taken a nap at the construction site when he heard someone forcing their way in.

Xu Lei had already instructed Xiao Qiang during the day that non-staff members were not allowed to work on the construction site.

But Xiaoqiang wasn't here today, so he instructed two of his men who had never met Chen Shuting.

So when he saw this woman trying to force her way in, a conflict broke out. Xu Lei, still half asleep, came downstairs and saw that it was Chen Shuting.

"Alright, you two, what are you doing stopping me?"

Only after Xu Lei finished speaking did the other party agree to let him go.

Chen Shuting was already anxious, and when the two people stopped her, her anger was released all at once.

"You won't even let me make a phone call. Have you all gone crazy from standing here on guard? I'll settle accounts with you later."

After saying that, she went upstairs to discuss it with Xu Lei. Seeing that Xu Lei's living conditions were really too bad, Chen Shuting felt a little sorry for him.

"what happened to you?"

Xu Lei's words pulled him back to reality, and seeing his anxious state, he knew that Gao Xiaochen must have something on her mind.
