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

Page 247

Gao Qilan was overjoyed to learn that she would be going to the south with Xu Lei for an inspection trip, and immediately went to the mall to buy many beautiful dresses.

Gao Qilan usually only wears work clothes to work. Seeing his younger sister dressed so beautifully, the older brother was very happy and extremely excited.

"That's right, a young girl should dress herself up nicely. It's not nice to always wear gray and black clothes. You should listen to music."

Gao Qiqiang smiled and wanted his sister to dress up as nicely as possible, since he could afford it.

However, his sister rarely asks him for money since she started working, which makes him feel rather uneasy.

"I know, brother. But it's no use dressing up nicely for my job, so I'll just be honest and dress like this is fine."

Gao Qilan was still smiling foolishly.

"This time when you go out, do whatever you want, eat and drink whatever you want, and buy yourself whatever you want. Don't mistreat yourself."

The other person was speaking while quietly offering advice.

"Okay, brother, I know Xu Lei takes good care of me."

"Of course I know how to take care of myself, so don't worry about it."

Chapter 289 Inspection

Gao Qilan was truly excited about this trip.

Xu Lei is usually busy with work and rarely sees Gao Jian, so these last few times he did this was to avoid Gao Jian.

Secondly, I genuinely wanted to go and see what the situation was like there recently, and I was very happy about that.

Given the current situation, Xu Lei needs to be alert and can no longer have any doubts.

"Xiaoqiang, while I'm away, please tell him for me that if anything happens, be sure to let me know immediately."

"My phone is on 24 hours a day."

"If anyone comes looking for trouble, never get into a conflict with them. If Gao Jian comes, remember to tell him that I won't be back for a while."

"Don't let him wait here empty-handed."

Xiao Qiang silently kept all of this in mind, and Xu Lei's words were always like imperial edicts.

He listened attentively, so he was very happy, knowing that Xu Lei would definitely arrange everything properly this time.

I will absolutely not embarrass him.

"Don't worry, boss, just go and investigate. Leave the rest to me. I will absolutely not let this matter suffer any losses."

Xiaoqiang performed exceptionally well during Xu Lei's last inspection, so Xu Lei was naturally at ease. Xiaoqiang was an old friend of his and could handle everything perfectly.

"Boss, how about I send you a few more brothers this time? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease..."

Facing Xu Lei, who was suddenly on a long patrol, he felt a little worried, fearing that the situation might get worse.

They still need to be careful in advance, and make sure they don't cause anything too bad.

Otherwise, if things escalate further, the situation may become unmanageable.

"Why are you so nagging? Just do as I say. Do you think I'd harm myself?"

After Xu Lei finished speaking, the other party could only smile awkwardly.

Xu Lei soon arrived in the south, and he had already made plans for the places he would be inspecting.

Gao Xiaochen has now become the top leader here, and everyone treats him with utmost respect.

"Alright, once this boss arrives, I won't be the first boss anymore; this will be the boss's boss."

After he finished speaking, he smiled slightly. Xu Lei looked at him and was very happy that things had been going well recently.

"Not bad. I haven't been here for a few days, and you've made this place very nice. You're starting to look like a boss."

After Xu Lei finished speaking, the other party had no choice but to nod helplessly.

"Boss, don't make fun of me. What could I possibly be that good?"

"Just follow what you taught me to take good care of this shop."

“After those rumors came out last time, our store suffered a lot of losses, so we have to do our best to make up for it.”

"Recently, our performance has finally started to improve; otherwise, we would have been squeezed out of business."

Xu Lei knew that during the period when the store had an accident, he stayed here day and night, just thinking about how to improve the sales performance.

Gao Xiaochen has been feeling quite tired these days.

"This shop owes a lot to you. I just came here to relax and see how things were going. I didn't expect it to be so well done."

Xu Lei had just finished arranging things at the shop for a week, and by the afternoon, four or five tables had already been served sporadically.

“Now, when we have team building activities, everyone comes here. Before, people thought that eating in a place like this was only for young people, and that it might lower our standards.”

"But since we developed many preferential policies, many companies have come to us for team building activities."

Gao Xiaochen was very proud as she introduced the various services offered in the store to Xu Lei, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Just as Xu Lei arrived, Gao Xiaochen heard that people from headquarters had come to discuss contracts.

"Damn it, boss, those guys negotiating the contract suddenly arrived early today, otherwise..."

Gao Xiaochen really wanted to chat with Xu Lei a little longer and take him to different places.

After all, I'm quite familiar with this area, so I thought I'd take him around and show him around more.

Moreover, Gao Qilan rarely comes here, but unexpectedly, the other party came at this critical moment, which made her feel somewhat helpless.

"You should go about your business, after all, you're making money for me, right?"

Xu Lei's joke eased his concerns considerably, "Then you can stay here and get busy, boss."

"I'll come over and keep you company after I finish signing the contract on my end. We'll have dinner at this restaurant tonight."

Gao Xiaochen always maintained a humble attitude in front of Xu Lei and was never arrogant.

This is one of the reasons why Xu Lei was able to give him important responsibilities: he is not arrogant and conceited, and he always acts with discretion.

She has matured so much compared to before that even Gao Qilan was a little surprised when she saw her.

"Is this still the Gao Xiaochen I met before?"

"He now acts like a grown-up, unlike before when he was so arrogant and conceited."

"I used to have curly hair and it was all different colors. If I saw it on the street now, I wouldn't recognize it."

Gao Xiaochen's recent progress is truly remarkable.

So it wasn't that the other person was praising him, but rather that the change was truly too great.

Xu Lei was very satisfied with Gao Xiaochen's progress and was well aware of everything he had done here.

They also knew that he had lost weight from running around doing so much for the store's business.

"That's really good. I always thought he couldn't handle the hardship."

"I had already decided who would replace him, but I didn't expect this guy to still be here so long, which is a bit beyond my expectations."

Xu Lei knew, of course, that he had been pampered since childhood and might not be able to sit still in this kind of situation.

"You mustn't tell him, okay?"

Xu Lei smiled slightly, and Gao Qilan burst out laughing at his gesture.

Gao Qilan bought a lot of pretty dresses during this trip.

Moreover, upon learning that she was going to the beach, she didn't hesitate and bought a dress for the trip.

"I didn't get to properly accompany you last time, so I'll go with you this time."

Seeing how much he wanted to go to the beach, I didn't want to spoil the mood, so I decided to go with him.

Xu Lei came to inquire this time, and Gao Qilan didn't want to hold him back.

"Just like last time we went to Southeast Asia, you go about your business."

"Don't worry, I'll let you know in advance if anything seems amiss."

Seeing that the other party was determined to do so, Xu Lei nodded slightly and told him to be careful.

"When you get there, remember to give me a call. Let me know when you've had enough fun."

Xu Lei wanted to check out a few other chain stores, so after seeing the other party off, he went to the next chain store.

Unexpectedly, everything exceeded my expectations and was much larger in scale than I had anticipated.

This made Xu Lei feel a little uneasy.

"This kid has made the shop so big."

Chapter 290 The Troublesome Rich Second Generation

Xu Lei observed that the entire renovation was becoming increasingly exquisite, and the service was also excellent.

As soon as Xu Lei entered, everyone surrounded him, their enthusiasm making Xu Lei feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Welcome, hello, what kind of service would you like, sir? Are you here just for a meal?"

Or is there any additional service or need we require?

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei thought, "Isn't this just a simple restaurant? What kind of tricks could they possibly pull off?"

"I came here as a tourist, and I heard this restaurant is good, so I wanted to check it out."

Do you offer any other services? What are those other services?

Xu Lei intended to travel incognito to see what the surrounding area was like, but he never expected it to far exceed his expectations.

Xu Lei was extremely excited.

"If you want to celebrate your birthday or propose, you can tell us in advance."

We will help you prepare and set up the atmosphere; we can also act as the event organizers.

Xu Lei gasped when he heard this, never expecting Gao Xiaochen to have made this place so stylish.

I was quite surprised, so I continued to ask.

"So, how much would it cost to organize such a birthday celebration?"

Xu Lei was really surprised that Gao Xiaochen was so creative; those who have studied abroad are indeed different.

"Hello sir, everything here is free. You only need to pay for your meal; everything else is free."

Xu Lei nodded slightly.

"I just want a simple meal, you can just bring me a set meal."

Xu Lei simply ordered a set meal.

He was just about to enjoy the simple set meal when he noticed the waiter's expression darken slightly.

He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie.

"The foreman, that guy is here again. Should we call security?"

Xu Lei glanced towards the door instinctively and saw that the person there was dressed in a suit and tie.

She looked gentle and refined, not like someone who would cause trouble, but for some reason, the girl seemed very scared.

"Sir, all our seats are currently reserved. I'm sorry."

Xu Lei noticed that it was the time for guests to arrive, but several tables were empty.

The foreman must have his own reasons for saying that, and Xu Lei glanced at him subconsciously.

The man in front of me didn't seem strange at all, except for his fleshy face, but he spoke very politely.

"I just came to take a look. Aren't those two tables in front still empty? I'll sit here for now."

They finished eating quickly.

After saying that, he was about to sit down, while the waiter next to him looked on with a conflicted expression.

The waitress brought him cutlery, and Xu Lei asked her in a low voice.

"Excuse me, beautiful lady, I'd like to ask who that person is? They don't look like they're here for a proper meal."

Xu Lei asked with a slight smile, his face kind. The waiter could tell that Xu Lei didn't seem like a bad person.
