After all, it was his idea to invite everyone over.
We need to understand everything clearly before we proceed, so as not to make things awkward for each other.
But to my surprise, Jiang Tian was too impatient. Before he had even settled in, he started saying so many inappropriate things.
So he told them to take care of themselves, but Xu Lei noticed Gao Qiqiang's obstruction.
But that still couldn't stop 1.9 from wanting to speak.
"The reason I'm willing to come here for tea with you today is so that we can put aside our past grievances."
"But if you keep testing me like this, I don't think there's any point in continuing this conversation. We're not stupid."

“I know how much you did and how much he did.”
"Moreover, I didn't let Gao Qiqiang make much money by getting involved. You can ask Gao Qiqiang."
After saying this, Xu Lei realized his mouth was dry and sat down to slowly drink his tea.
He didn't mind angering Jiang Tian, after all, Xu Lei was no pushover.
I certainly won't let him drag me down with just this little idea.
Everyone here is intelligent, especially in this situation, everyone wants to protect themselves.
You should ask yourself if you have the ability.
Chapter 194 A Foregone Conclusion
Xu Lei understood these people's ways all too well, so he felt incredibly helpless and wanted to have a good talk with them.
But they always act like fools; this kind of game is really not fun.
For a moment, the entire teahouse seemed to fall silent as Jiang Tian, the assassin, impatiently tapped the table with his hand.
"It seems that Mr. Xu has already made it clear that he intends to keep this package all to himself!"
Jiang Tian's words made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Xu Lei really didn't know where he got this idea. Everyone had competed fairly and squarely for the project, so how did he come across as someone who had stolen it by trickery?
Gao Qiqiang also noticed the situation, so he quickly stopped it.
"Alright, alright, things are getting more and more off."
"Boss, I invited everyone over today because you were very sincere in wanting to invite everyone to sit together."
"But if you keep talking like this, it'll get boring. This project is already a done deal. It's not really proper for you to be thinking about taking a piece of it now."
Gao Qiqiang spoke with a smile, but his tone carried a threatening undertone. 17
Jiang Tian didn't care about all that; all he wanted was to get as much of a share of the project as possible.
After all, even if they only managed to snag a small piece of meat from above, it would be enough to cause their entire group a lot of trouble.
So Jiang Tian wasn't just trying to feel good; he also wanted to regain his pride and recoup his losses.
"There are some things I don't deny."
"In business, everyone gets what they want based on their own abilities, and they can do whatever they want, but don't think of me as the worst person."
“Gao Qiqiang, I know exactly how much you got. How come you're allowed to drink the meat while others aren't even given a sip of soup?”
Gao Qiqiang understood the implication in those words and instantly grasped many things, while at home, Xiaoqiang was pacing anxiously.
Chengcheng has gone to the construction team to prepare for tomorrow's groundbreaking ceremony.
Xiaoqiang felt that it wasn't safe for his eldest brother to go alone.
According to Xu Lei's regulations
If he hasn't called you within half an hour, then take your people to the vicinity of the teahouse.
When Xiaoqiang realized that his boss hadn't called yet, he already had a plan in mind.
"go with!"
"Call all the brothers currently in the company!"
"Something."
With a single phone call, Xiao Qiang arranged for ten vans to be sent to the teahouse.
With so many people neatly lined up downstairs at the teahouse, Xiao Qiang felt a little worried when he noticed that Xu Lei's car wasn't there. He kept waiting for Xu Lei to give him a signal.
Jiang Tian was still smiling at this moment.
"Tomorrow is your groundbreaking ceremony, and there are many unexpected and unforeseen events that can occur on this construction site."
“If anyone dies, your project will have to stop. I won’t be responsible for any losses you incur. Forget it.”
Jiang Tian's words were quite telling.
If Xu Lei disagrees and gives him a share of the Niluo Village project, then Jiang Tian will definitely cause some trouble.
Xu Lei never expected that Jiang Tian, who looked so respectable in a suit and tie, would say such disgusting things; it was as if a dog's mouth couldn't produce anything virtuous.
"You really always surprise me."
"I thought you were an honest person, so why did you do such an unethical thing? I've already made everything clear, both what I should say and what I should do."
"If you still think I'm just joking with you, then there's no need for us to continue this conversation."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian slammed his hand on the table, but Xu Lei was not intimidated by his imposing manner.
On the contrary, Gao Qiqiang was a little nervous. He had acted as a matchmaker, and if the two of them really got into a fight, he, as the middleman, would lose face.
"What do you want to do?"
Gao Qiqiang stood up first and tried to suppress the arrogance, but it was too late.
As soon as Jiang Tian slammed his hand on the table, a large group of people stormed in.
They were all wearing suits and sunglasses, and they looked like they were not to be trifled with.
Xu Lei had prepared for this situation beforehand, but he never expected these guys to be so unruly.
"Mr. Jiang, what's going on here? Are you trying to invite me to your home for a cup of tea?"
Xu Lei smiled and didn't give the matter a second thought.
Seeing that Xu Lei wasn't angry, Gao Qiqiang breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Jiang Tian.
"What are you doing?"
"Do you want to lock us all up, or do you want to beat us all up?"
"I absolutely have to give you half of this project!"
Jiang Tian was very resentful, even though he knew he had to do this.
He'll definitely be criticized, but he doesn't care anymore.
I have a feeling that he didn't get any benefit from this, and I feel extremely resentful.
"Now you think I'm not following the rules, that I've gone too far. You lot are really scheming!"
"Thinking they'd gotten rid of everything!"
"You'll secretly take care of everything and leave me out of the loop. Are you sure you're thinking straight?"
Gao Qiqiang was speechless upon hearing this, never expecting that he would have such a thought.
"Even if Xu Lei wanted to give it to you, it would have to be his own willingness!"
“If you’re not happy, even if you put a knife to my throat, we can’t reach an agreement. You’re a man of principle.”
"We've worked together before, how did things turn out like this? Get your men out of here right now!"
Gao Qiqiang knew that if he stopped them at this point, there was still a chance for the situation to turn around.
But if things really escalate into a falling out, it won't look good for anyone, and whether this collaborative project can even continue in the future is another matter entirely.
Gao Qiqiang now has to watch Xu Lei's expression; how could Jiang Tian be so audacious?
They even screwed themselves over!
"Boss Jiang, the way you do things is really unethical!"
"I'm the one who invited Mr. Xu over. Now that he's here, and you pull this stunt on me, I won't dare ask you for any favors in the future!"
Gao Qiqiang looked like a broken signboard, which frightened Jiang Tian.
Xu Lei remained calm, but he knew something was amiss.
Seeing that he showed no fear at all, I knew he must have his own plans.
Sure enough, someone whispered a couple of words in his ear.
"It seems that Mr. Xu didn't trust me much from the beginning." As Xu Jiang's son, Xu Lei had been accustomed to the deceit and treachery in the business world since he was a child.
It's understandable that people might use some underhanded methods to earn more money, as long as they do so within the bounds of the rules.
Xu Lei doesn't mind what tricks others use against him, but today's incident has touched a raw nerve.
"If you hadn't done things so badly, why would you be afraid of my men? They were just passing by while eating nearby."
Chapter 195 A Slap in the Face!
Xu Lei had already come up with his reasons, even though Jiang Tian would never believe these old-fashioned excuses.
But at this moment, Xu Lei dared not move at all; he was also afraid.
If a fight really breaks out, with so many people below, the situation could become quite unpleasant.
"okay."
"Jiang Tian! You're used to this kind of nonsense."
"You're joking around now, you don't even know where the line is!"
Gao Qiqiang wanted to get things done quickly so that things wouldn't get so ugly.
He made up an excuse and declined.

Seeing Jiang Tian's face immediately fall, Xu Lei knew that he must be in great pain.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lei directly slapped him in the face.
Moreover, the matter has already been settled. If he were a smart man, he would know that he had no intention of losing face in this matter.
"Boss Gao, you're mistaken."
Seeing that Gao Qiqiang was constantly speaking up for him, Xu Lei could only shake his head helplessly.
“Jiang Tian has his own plans, so it’s not appropriate for us to make decisions for him.”
"Whatever happens, it's up to him to decide how he wants to do it."
"There's just one thing: if everyone wants to do this kind of thing in the future, I might not be able to handle it."
Xu Lei has already said this much; the rest is up to him.
Xu Lei didn't want to think the situation was so bad, and even wanted to recount the whole story from beginning to end.
Now it all depends on Jiang Tian's own comprehension. Jiang Tian could only wave his hand dejectedly, having thought he could intimidate them with his imposing manner.
But to his surprise, Xu Lei wasn't afraid, and Gao Qiqiang even spoke up for him. This was something he hadn't anticipated, and he was in a state of turmoil.
Moreover, he knew that at this moment, no one would speak up for him.
The more I think about it, the more helpless I feel.
"You're not on the side of reason at all, so how can I help you?"
"You usually seem quite composed in your work. You should know that if this project isn't yours, it's not yours!"
"What, you're still thinking of forcibly taking it? If all projects in this world could be taken by force, then the two of us would have nothing to eat."
"Isn't that project entirely owned by Boss Xu? If he wanted to seize it by force, he has far more methods than you do!"
"They just want to be civilized and communicate with you, but you've created this mess. What am I supposed to say to you?!"
Gao Qiqiang simply brought up the topic directly, and with Gao Qiqiang saying that, Jiang Tian couldn't possibly confuse the matter anymore.
