So I can't even describe how upset I was! Things suddenly turned out this way, and now everyone is taking the blame.
Jiang Tian knew that although Xu Lei was holding things together, his brothers were waiting for him down below.
If anything goes wrong, he'll be in deep trouble this time. The more he thinks about it, the more uncertain he feels, and a hint of fear flashes in his eyes.
Xu Lei noticed the change in his expression. After all, Xu Lei wanted to reach an agreement with him and didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"If we all keep things in mind, we can have a good relationship in the future, even though the project in Niluo Village can no longer be divided!"
"However, there will be many more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Xu Lei smiled slightly, not angry at Jiang Tian's recklessness.
Seeing that Xu Lei was willing to give him a way out, Gao Qiqiang quickly pulled Jiang Tian back to his senses.
"Things have already come to this point, do you really think you can turn things around again? Don't be ridiculous, just stay here quietly."
With a hint of surprise in his eyes, he told him to think it over carefully. Besides, Jiang Tian knew that he didn't have much power left.
He could only nod slightly.
"I was wrong just now. I was just trying to joke with Mr. Xu. Is that alright?"
"You all get down right now!"
As Jiang Tian was speaking, Gao Qiqiang waved his hand impatiently, telling them to quiet down first.
"Alright, alright, call all your soldiers down, let's have a proper talk."
“Some things can be accomplished simply by talking, but you insist on making it so complicated.”
"We're here to do business. Only through give and take can things be done properly, right?"
He brought people again, wanting to make it clear that he had come this time to truly settle things. Xu Lei shrugged helplessly.
“I came here with friendly intentions from beginning to end.”
"But I didn't expect that this Boss Jiang would give me such a surprise, which made me even more confused."
Jiang Tian rubbed his hands helplessly. He knew that Xu Lei was determined not to give him any more chances and would definitely not let him get involved in this project again.
There are still so many brothers staring wide-eyed below.
We're waiting here for Xu Lei's signal. Once Xu Lei gives the signal, I reckon his brothers will skin us alive.
Therefore, we must not act rashly; the more we think about it, the more surprised we become.
"Damn it, how did things get like this?"
Jiang Tian was filled with regret! He never expected things to turn out this way; he had originally planned to divide the spoils equally among everyone.
"The project in Mud Snail Village has already been finalized. If you have any hatred, you should hate the Xu family father and son."
"Instead of pointing the finger at me, I was just doing this for money. The Xu family took the money and ran away."
"But now you're pointing the finger at me. Isn't that a little unfair to me?"
Xu Lei spoke reasonably and politely, leaving no room for criticism.
This situation made Jiang Tian even more embarrassed, his face turning bright red with shame. Seeing this, Gao Qiqiang knew that this guy was definitely capable of repenting and turning over a new leaf.
"Alright, alright, let me raise a glass, let's clink glasses and call it a day."
"Mr. Jiang, don't keep dwelling on this matter. There will be plenty of projects in the future, so you won't have to worry about not having a place to make money."
Although Jiang Tian nodded slightly on the surface, Xu Lei knew that he wouldn't give up so easily; this kid was full of bad intentions.
Don't think that this one thing alone could make the situation so bad.
"You're still too naive. You always think you can handle these tasks perfectly, but don't treat others like fools! (Okay, okay)"
After Xu Lei finished speaking, he clinked glasses with him and then went downstairs first.
They didn't even say goodbye.
Seeing Xu Lei storm off, Gao Qiqiang felt somewhat helpless.
"Old Chiang, what can I say to you? Everyone came here hoping to make money peacefully!"
"You've completely blocked this road, and what are you even doing sending your brothers here?"
"I repeatedly told Boss Xu that everyone should come on their own and not bring any brothers. You're really making me lose face."
As Gao Qiqiang spoke, he angrily pushed over the teacup in front of him.
Jiang Tian was furious, feeling he hadn't gained any advantage whatsoever.
He was even more furious that Xu Lei, a junior, had taught him a lesson, so he smashed the teacup on the table.
"Fine, don't get angry with me. I give up."
Gao Qiqiang then picked up his suit jacket and left.
Chapter 196 That move was too cunning!
Gao Qiqiang was extremely angry this time. He thought it was a good thing, but now it seems that he has ruined his reputation.
Gao Qiqiang's anger and hatred towards Jiang Tian were beyond words!
Jiang Tian slumped weakly in his chair, knowing he had made a mistake.
Unable to gain their forgiveness any longer, this time we've completely broken up.
Even though Xu Lei spoke very kindly before leaving, saying that there would be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
However, Jiang Tian knew Xu Lei's behavior and knew that he had thoroughly angered him this time. He was already quite lucky that Xu Lei didn't want his own life.
Xiao Qiang was waiting downstairs at the teahouse with a group of people.
He anxiously checked his watch; with only three minutes left, Xiaoqiang had already told his men to get ready.
"Three minutes left. If the boss doesn't come out by then, don't give us a signal..."
"Let's just charge straight down. The brothers behind, surround them and don't let them escape through the back door."
Xiaoqiang was a little nervous and worried.
This would put the leader in danger.
Just as they were about to rush in, Xu Lei suddenly came out, completely unharmed, without any injuries.
Xiaoqiang was very surprised and quickly went forward to check.
"Boss, is it okay if we call 110?"
Seeing how nervous they were, I quickly waved my hand.
"I already told you not to bring so many people. What can a mere Jiang Tian do to me?"
Upon hearing Xu Lei's words, Xiao Qiang laughed, scratching the back of his head with a goofy expression.
"Who says it's not?"
"I know you're amazing, boss, but I'm worried they might try something dirty."
"I'll call a few more brothers, just to teach them a lesson they won't forget."
He chuckled, looking completely bewildered. Seeing their reaction, Xu Lei could only nod silently, tacitly agreeing to everything.
He felt much more relaxed, without any chaotic thoughts or being moved by it.
"Who knows? That Jiang Tian is such a scoundrel!"
"I thought they would keep their word and not come if they said they couldn't come to cause trouble."
"I never expected him to resort to such underhanded tactics. I still feel disgusted. Should we teach him a lesson?"
Xiaoqiang felt he couldn't swallow this anger; he felt like he'd been tricked.
Xu Lei knew that revenge was not something that could be taken in a short time; a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years.
Having exploited their weaknesses, there will inevitably be opportunities to retaliate in the future.
So I have my own plans in mind.
"Alright, these guys are very particular about how they do things!"
"If we really anger them, it will cause a lot of trouble."
"On the contrary, it will make us look irrational, and then we will be the ones in the wrong."
"Just do your own thing well, and you'll have plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future."
After Xu Lei finished speaking, he got into the car and left.
Just as Xu Lei got into the car, Gao Qiqiang hurriedly chased after him, wanting to explain things to Xu Lei.
Xu Lei's revenge is always precise and accurate.
Since it has nothing to do with Gao Qiqiang, Xu Lei won't care too much.
"I really didn't know they would pull something like this. If I had known Jiang Tian was like this, I really wouldn't have called you over."
As Gao Qiqiang spoke, a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"Old Chiang, he wasn't this irrational before."
"I guess he's getting anxious now that the project in Niluo Village is finally settled!"
"Ugh……"
"But I just tried to persuade Jiang Tian, I don't know if he will listen!"
Xu Lei knew that Gao Qiqiang was innocently implicated by this kind of person who went back on his word, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
"If you encounter someone like this, you can only accept your bad luck. Don't worry, I know exactly what to do."
"But I won't let him off so easily. I need to think carefully about what to do!"
Xu Lei gave a sinister smile and then turned and left.
They need to understand that everything will be firmly in their hands.
It's not something they can change with a few words, nor is it something they can just shout or yell at and then cower in fear.
"Then you must be careful in everything you do, I'm scared."
Gao Qiqiang only touched on the point and did not reveal his true intention.
In fact, Gao Qiqiang is afraid of Jiang Tian and may use underhanded tactics behind the scenes. Even if it's not on the Niluo Village project, he might use some dirty tricks on Xu Lei's other projects.
Jiang Tian is a vengeful person; this kind of thing doesn't seem like something he would do.
"Don't worry, even if he really wants to be lively, I'll have to see if he has the ability. If he really does, then I'll consider him amazing."
Xu Lei smiled slightly.
Xiao Qiang started the car at that moment, and Gao Qiqiang just nodded silently and patted his car, signaling him to hurry up and leave.
As expected, after Jiang Tian's questioning yesterday, Xu Lei thought he would understand his good intentions.
He wouldn't do anything excessive, but then he gave himself a huge surprise: his warehouse in Mud Snail Village had caught fire.
There are a lot of goods stored there, all of which will be needed for the upcoming Mud Snail Village project.
Now, a huge fire has destroyed it all. It's obvious who the culprit is; the method was truly clumsy.
It even makes people feel a little helpless.
"Things are all stored in that warehouse."
"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and most of the items were undamaged. The only damage was to a batch of foam boards, and the price is still being calculated."
"President Cheng has already gone there."
Xiao Qiang quickly reported, and Xu Lei put on his coat and was about to go outside.
Xu Lei suddenly remembered the warehouse keeper; it seemed to be Gao Xiaochen.
Thinking of this, his eyes immediately changed, and Xiaoqiang knew what his boss was worried about.
"Don't worry, Gao Xiaochen wasn't very close to the fire at the time."
"Moreover, he was quite quick-witted; after discovering the fire, he realized he couldn't handle it himself, so he immediately made a phone call."

Xu Lei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; this was just right.
