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

Page 346

"Li Hongwei, you'll come with me tomorrow."

Li Hongwei was very excited when he heard this.

"Okay, boss. I'll learn from you. As long as you don't mind that I'm not very smart, I'll be your assistant!"

Seeing his happy expression, Xu Lei was also a little excited. In fact, he clearly knew that (Li Dezhao) was deliberately causing trouble by those people on the construction site. Xu Lei was also a bit of a headache.

Originally, the site manager should have handled this matter himself, but unexpectedly, the news of a death on the construction site was reported in the newspaper.

All the news spread like wildfire, giving Xu Lei a headache. He even called in Manager Zhang and gave him a good scolding.

Manager Zhang was clearly someone who couldn't handle any responsibility. Xu Lei couldn't understand how someone like that had managed to stay under his command until now.

Chapter 508 Innocently Caught in the Crossfire

“I don’t care how you got in, I’m telling you this. You got in, and I’m telling you this is the end of it.”

“I can’t tolerate someone as stupid as you under my command.”

Xu Lei wasn't saying this to manipulate people; on the contrary, he thought the guy was incredibly stupid.

How could I not be angry and disappointed that he couldn't even handle such a simple public relations issue and instead escalated it into such a big conflict?

I even felt a little helpless, since things have come to this point.

Logically, the situation should have been easily resolved, but the other party not only failed to resolve it, but also...

Instead, it exacerbated the conflict, turning the situation into a public crisis.

"In such a large company as mine, I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. What's wrong with you? Are you sent by our rival?"

Manager Zhang was quite frightened after Xu Lei finished speaking. After all, Manager Zhang knew that Xu Lei was very decisive in his actions.

He naturally wouldn't tolerate any betrayal under his command, so he quickly shook his head to show his innocence.

He almost knelt down before Xu Lei.

It wasn't that Xu Lei's side was a gang or an unreasonable place, but rather that Xu Lei felt a little helpless.

This was such a simple matter that could have been handled properly. How did it become so out of control?

"Boss, I really want to reason with them, but those people seem to have made a pact with each other."

“They won’t listen to anything and just insist on making a scene. This kind of thing has happened before on our construction site.”

"It's nothing more than human error or objective misoperation during the operation that caused their injuries."

“Previously, there were people like this at various construction sites and factories, and everyone just followed the rules and procedures. But these people don’t.”

Xu Lei seemed to sense something fishy about this, although he also knew that Manager Zhang wasn't particularly capable to begin with.

But now that he has said such a thing, it seems that someone really wants to take this opportunity to make a name for themselves and cause some trouble, so he felt a slight tremor in his heart.

"Looks like someone's trying to cause trouble right under my nose..."

Xu Lei took a deep breath and realized that Manager Zhang was not a particularly clever person to begin with, and it seemed that someone was deliberately making things difficult for him.

However, this project is already halfway through, or even in its later stages.

To start something underhanded at this time, could it be that Liu Bang's sword dance was a ploy with ulterior motives?

Xu Lei naturally understood all of this.

Therefore, from the very beginning, we have put in a great deal of effort to ensure that everything is in order.

He absolutely forbids anyone from causing trouble under his nose; this seemingly simple issue hides a deeper meaning.

In fact, it also hides a great hidden danger for him.

Xu Lei understood that someone must be trying to sever some connection through this project.

Although he wanted to go, Xu Lei asked his manager, Zhang, to take him to the hospital for a check-up first.

"No matter the reason, the matter has become so big that it has been reported in the newspapers. We must suppress it."

"The TV station staff are also broadcasting it repeatedly; this must have been premeditated."

Xu Lei rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, because he knew this would definitely be a tough battle.

He absolutely cannot linger any longer and must pull this matter out of the hands of the behind-the-scenes showman.

"That's right, Mr. Xu. I've always been someone who just wants to focus on engineering. But with him doing this, I've been put in a bit of a passive position."

"I really don't know what to do next..."

"I think those of us in the construction industry inevitably encounter one or two of these kinds of minor incidents every year, so I'm really at a loss right now."

Chapter 509 Fight to the End

Xu Lei knew that he was not exaggerating, but was genuinely expressing his thoughts.

“This person is cunning and treacherous; it’s not something someone of your level can easily contend with.”

"Leave it to me, take me to see the patient first!"

Xu Lei frowned slightly as he watched Manager Zhang arrange for them to be placed in a private ward.

Because Manager Zhang saw that the situation had escalated, they would have to invite people from these TV stations to interview them from time to time, which would inevitably make them take advantage of their favor.

They might even make a fuss about this.

"The hospital rooms you arranged for them."

Manager Zhang thought Xu Lei was going to praise him.

He nodded quickly, very happy.

"Yes, yes, I arranged it. After all, the accident happened on our construction site, so I thought..."

Before he could even voice his desire for the reward, Xu Lei immediately called him a fool.

"Why don't you think about this properly? Use your pig brain! Arranging such a high-class ward for him at this time, he must be sure that he can take this opportunity to squeeze more money out of us."

After Xu Lei's explanation, the other party immediately realized what was going on.

But Xu Lei knew that by now, it would probably be too late to realize this.

The only way is to ask the other party what they really want to do in order to find out their true intentions.

This way, we can handle the following matters better.

"Alright, you can go outside and wait here."

Xu Lei planned to meet with them alone. The manager was also worried that Xu Lei might be put in a difficult position by these guys.

"Boss, it's not that I don't want you to contact him, it's just that this family is really too difficult to deal with."

“They’ve caused plenty of problems with these kinds of things before, so I’m scared…”

Manager Zhang was also somewhat worried at this moment, after all, it was nothing to worry about if he suffered a little grievance.

If Xu Lei suffers injustice and can't bear it...

"Why do you have so many problems? I told you to leave, so just leave now. They're more familiar with you here, so they'll say whatever comes to mind."

“But I’m different. I’m a new face. If I go and chat with them, I might get some unexpected insights.”

After Xu Lei went in, he first talked to them about his illness, but they were clearly very wary.

He didn't talk much with Xu Lei, and the patient's wife kept asking him who he was while looking at him sideways.

"Are you from the construction site or the media?"

· ······Requesting flowers· ········

Xu Lei noticed that the two of them were still eating, and the food looked pretty good.

"The food is pretty good..."

Xu Lei looked at the dish; it contained both meat and soup.

Moreover, the other person seemed to be enjoying the meal very much, and did not appear to be in any serious health condition.

Aside from the two casts on his arms and legs, there was nothing else wrong with him.

..... . .......

Before going in, Xu Lei asked the doctor for advice again, and the doctor said that he should stay in bed.

But the other person always says their head hurts.

As for the nature of the pain, they have only had two CT scans so far...

However, nothing unusual was found, as this type of examination is inherently very difficult.

Moreover, current medical technology is not advanced enough to pinpoint exactly which area of ​​the brain is damaged.

Therefore, the hospital, being conscientious and responsible, will definitely conduct more tests and require him to stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days.

So the matter escalated to the point of being out of control. Either this guy was born with these knowledge, or he had prepared for it long ago.

What other brain damage could there be?

This was clearly a draft prepared in advance, which really surprised Xu Lei.

Chapter 510 Contributing Strength

This guy is definitely not simple; he's not just here to swindle some money.

On the contrary, the commotion that ensued was even more unsightly than Xu Lei had imagined.

"I heard that you haven't been thinking clearly lately, so I thought I'd come and ask you about it."

Xu Lei still didn't reveal which side he was on, so the other party became even more wary and demanded that Xu Lei explain his purpose before they could have a proper conversation.

"Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like a reporter for '520,' judging from your demeanor..."

Ever since Xu Lei came in, it's been this man's old woman who's been doing all the talking.

Xu Lei didn't see the patient utter a single word from beginning to end; he was treated like a toy by his wife.

"I won't eat it."

The patient seemed full, but his wife insisted that there was only a little soup left, and it would be a waste not to eat it.

He then forced those two mouthfuls of rice down his throat.

“We couldn’t even get to eat such a good meal before, and now you’re being picky. Now it’s finally your turn to contribute some effort.”

"You have to eat it, whether you like it or not!"

"How can this illness get better if I don't take it?"

The old woman was talking, and she was being sarcastic and sarcastic.

She wanted Xu Lei to understand that her husband's illness wouldn't be cured anytime soon.

Xu Lei nodded silently.

"It looks like he's quite sick."

Xu Lei nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with his profound remarks.

"Of course, you didn't see how badly my husband is coughing."

"Those construction workers are scoundrels. They think they can get rid of us with a few tens of thousands of yuan? No way!"

“My husband is the pillar of our family. Now that there’s a problem, do they think they can just pack up and leave? There’s no way they’ll get away with this so easily.”

"So, my husband and I have already agreed that if we don't get a proper resolution..."

"Let's just stay here. After all, the hospital environment here is quite good, much better than my old, drafty, and leaky tile-roofed house."

"If you don't mind, let's just stay here."

Xu Lei nodded slightly upon hearing this, and without saying anything more, turned and left.

Manager Zhang was so anxious outside that he kept stamping his feet.

Xu Lei really didn't expect to run into a tough nut to crack.

"Boss, you weren't wronged, were you? Those guys just have a loose tongue..."

"They have no idea what they're talking about; they just want more money. If they say anything that upsets you, please don't take it to heart."

Xu Lei noticed that the other party was trying their best to explain things to him, but Xu Lei just shook his head slightly.

He became even more aware that something was amiss, and even understood that these two people simply couldn't have come up with such a meticulous plan.
