Chapter 1510: Bai Xue

"Sorry, I don't speak English." Li Xuewu answered the other party's chat in English, while sizing the other party up.

The lady didn't care about his searchlight-like gaze, because she also had this light.

"Then romantic French?"

"The night is romantic, the person is lonely."

Li Xuewu said with a light smile: "It seems we are really destined."

"Of course, you have yuan, I have yuan." Seeing that he was interested, the lady threw a wink at him and said: "Um-huh—"

"Tsk—" Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "What a pity."

He shrugged his shoulders in the other party's surprised gaze and said: "Your beauty and prettiness make my wallet feel ashamed."

"Are you planning to get it for free?"

The lady sized him up and asked suspiciously: "How is your technique? Why don't you just take advantage of you for a night?"

"Better not—"

The elevator door opened, he smiled slightly and said: "I don't look at free ones."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to react, Li Xuewu walked out of the elevator.

"What did you say! —"

An angry voice came from behind, but it got smaller and smaller, and the elevator door closed.

When the lady opened the elevator again, the person's figure was long gone in the corridor.

"Damn—"

The lady stomped her feet hatefully, searched the corridor again, and determined that the person had returned to the room, then cursed in a low voice.

She was of course dissatisfied, and even more so because of the "free" sentence the other party said.

The lady would rather the other party hypocritically refuse her than endure this insult.

Ding—

The elevator door on this floor opened; the lady saw her superior wearing a hotel waiter uniform and walked over unwillingly.

"Failed? That's normal."

The waiter held his hands in front of his lower abdomen and didn't look at the lady who had just come up the elevator, but his words were a bit mean.

The lady glanced at him, puffed out her cheeks and didn't want to argue; it was meaningless.

What is normal? Is it normal that she lacks the necessary ability to complete this task, or is it normal that the other party's will is firm and she couldn't break through? This is not the same meaning.

"Don't talk too big next time; just leave it at that this time."

"Then tomorrow—"

Just when the waiter was about to get off the elevator, the lady couldn't help but ask.

"You won't be needed tomorrow."

The waiter said without looking back: "Yulia will replace you; perhaps the other party likes pure ones."

"Who the hell isn't pure?"

The elevator door closed; the lady looked at her leather tube top and fishnet stockings; it seems they don't have anything to do with purity, right?

But her heart is pure; it was that man who lacked the eyes to appreciate.

Pop—

Blowing up the chewing gum in her mouth, after showing off her mouth skills, the lady muttered hatefully: "You don't even know what you've lost."

Indeed, Li Xuewu really didn't know he had lost an opportunity to be blown up.

But even if the other party showed such skills on the spot, he didn't dare to pick up the conversation.

Lu Xun once said: Wise men don't enter the river of love; drowning is not responsible!

He didn't want to drown in this little stinky ditch of East Germany; God knows what the other party's background was.

If you put aside the influence he brought to his career, just look at his appearance; unless it's a woman with a past and feelings, who would fall in love with him at first sight.

Don't talk about Oriental charm, tall and broad, in a foreign land; would you believe in love at first sight?

Any reason that can't be explained clearly at the police station should not be risked.

You want to say that you lost an important thing, the other party picked it up, you took her to the room to thank her, and finally gave the other party 200 yuan.

But, who believes it?

He had just fired a shot at the welcome banquet tonight; he didn't believe it was such a coincidence that an escort would appear in front of him at this time, let alone in an elevator.

Think about it, the lady who hasn't found a "job" at this time, either the work ended early or the quality is not good.

He doesn't have the hobby of brushing pots, let alone the interest in picking up scrap.

All conventional reasons are excluded, so the rest is that someone wants to set him up.

As for who it is, it's quite easy to guess, because the few people he offended with that speech tonight are just those.

First of all, the North Bear, as one of the two poles, is naturally dissatisfied with his sowing discord.

Dare not say that all the security departments of East Germany are under the control of the North Bear, but it must not be beyond the scope of influence.

Li Xuewu dared to talk so arrogantly; after checking his identity, the other party naturally hoped he would fall into the pit and slap the delegation's face.

Let's put it this way, when he brought that woman back to the room, everything would be unclear; he would become an emergency accident for this visit, a disgrace.

And he, who just sprayed fire on international order, would also become an international laughingstock.

So it is completely reasonable for the North Bear to want to pit him.

Then does East Germany have the motivation for this kind of action?

It can be said that some people will have it.

Who?

Of course, it's the part that doesn't hope this visit will have practical results.

Don't doubt it; in this place in Europe, which dog kennel doesn't have a pile of stinky dog shit.

Internal friction is very normal.

By framing Li Xuewu to achieve the purpose of humiliating the delegation, and then destroying the preparation for this cooperation.

This is East Germany, and one of the best hotels in East Berlin; would there be escorts striking up conversations at will under a socialist system?

This is not an insult to Li Xuewu, but an insult to the East German system.

Anyway, Li Xuewu doesn't believe that "foreign teachers" would take the initiative to find him to teach foreign languages.

On the premise of knowing that the room had been bugged, Li Xuewu reported the matter to the leader of the delegation after returning to the room.

This is the normal reaction, the regular procedure; it would be abnormal if he didn't report it.

If he returned to the room without any reaction, the monitoring end would also doubt him.

So when Li Huai De heard that an escort had appeared in the elevator, the first thing he thought of was that he had rested too early.

"Is she pretty?"

"Um?"

This hell is not the answer Li Xuewu thought of; what are you paying attention to?

"Didn't look carefully, heard her take the initiative to chat and I hid; didn't look like a good person."

"Oh, ahem, I'm asking about her appearance characteristics, have to guard against her."

Old Li seemed to be deliberately explaining something, perhaps the impulse under the loss of consciousness just now.

Yes, the night is long, in a foreign land, if there was a Tonya, that would be...

As for Li Xuewu swearing on the phone that his will was firmer than Pavel Korchagin in the face of temptation, he expressed that whoever believes this is a silly dog.

Li Xuewu is such a chicken thief; could his past work experience not see the problem?

The other party hit it by mistake, didn't know Li Xuewu's past work experience, and treated him as a young man with impulse to fish.

"Okay, I'll report it to the leader, you also raise your vigilance on your side."

"Good, I know."

Li Xuewu clamped the phone with his shoulder, checked his M1911 pistol in his hand, and after refilling the bullets, pulled the bolt and loaded the fire; the whole process was crisp and neat.

Hearing the sound of the bolt from the other side of the phone, Old Li couldn't help but be stunned.

Let you raise your vigilance, but didn't let you raise the risk level.

How the hell did you bring that thing!

He doesn't know that Li Xuewu, as a former security cadre, has a gun license?

However, this certificate is only useful in Red Star Factory; Li Xuewu also has another identity outside, and doesn't need a certificate at all.

So no one would mention the problem of handing over the gun after Li Xuewu left the security department.

But the problem is that this action didn't say he should bring weapons at all, because he is neither a security cadre nor a confidential cadre; what's the use of bringing that thing?

Hey! Look, isn't it useful now.

Li Xuewu rolled the quilt on the bed and folded it, and covered it with a blanket from the cupboard to make a disguise.

He himself sat on the sofa in the corner, put the gun on the coffee table, and turned off the last light in the room.

Click, the desk lamp went out, leaving only moonlight spilling on the carpet through the curtains.

In the dark, it looked like someone was lying on the bed, while the real tenant was sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite the door, pretending to sleep and resting.

Regardless of whether someone will visit tonight, Li Xuewu doesn't plan to sleep soundly.

Things like delegation members dying in a foreign land happened from time to time in later generations, let alone in this chaotic era.

He doesn't want to become a bargaining chip for the delegation to demand compensation; he wants to live well.

As for the uninvited guy, he will send the other party a bullet to greet him.

Early the next morning, Li Xuewu, who had waited all night and only heard a burst of irregular footsteps at the door, opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

To tell the truth, even if someone really came in, he couldn't raise his hand and shoot.

At least he had to wait for the other party to show obvious attack intent before he could fight back.

Otherwise, the source of his weapon would be unclear; at that time, it would bring trouble to the delegation and also cause trouble for himself.

Really happened?

If someone really dared to attack him, no one would ask about the source of his weapon.

Of course, even if someone asked, he had the confidence to top it back.

It's best if there isn't; perhaps the other party wandered at the door for a long time and couldn't make up their mind, and finally wisely chose to give up.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Li Xuewu walked out of the room after washing up, seeing Old Li coming out with a pair of dark circles, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It's hell, I was cautious all night, what does it have to do with you.

"I'm worried about you—"

Old Li sighed shamelessly and shook his head as he walked forward.

Li Xuewu stood at the door and twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that if you were worried about me and couldn't sleep, why didn't you come to stand guard for me?

"A false alarm, perhaps I was too sensitive."

Li Xuewu walked behind Old Li with a light smile and explained: "Perhaps this is the hotel's special service?"

"You scold people so dirty—"

Old Li glanced at him and said: "The leader said, let you be cautious and careful."

"Is this what the leader said?"

Li Xuewu looked at him amusedly and asked: "Why does it sound so familiar to me?"

"Hmph—don't take it seriously." Li Huai De didn't pay attention to his teasing and said earnestly: "At least guard against hidden arrows."

"If this kind of intensity of testing can also be called a hidden arrow." Li Xuewu looked at Old Li meaningfully and said: "Then now our heads are already filled with ten thousand arrows, ten-sided ambush."

"You are still too confident." Old Li shook his head slightly and said: "Sharp edge will inevitably cause the other party's vigilance."

"Of course, I'm not saying your performance last night was bad."

He thought of the appreciation of Li Xuewu by Director Du, turned the topic around and emphasized: "I am also for your own good."

"It's good for you to go out for a few days, just treat it as avoiding the limelight."

He turned his head to look at Li Xuewu and said: "Don't be obsessed with the pursuit of those reporters; those are all false names, not real."

"Of course, you are right."

Li Xuewu didn't seem to hear the sourness in his words and nodded in agreement.

Seeming to be very satisfied with his attitude, Old Li didn't continue this topic, and the two chatted about the weather in Germany all the way to the breakfast hall.

This hotel is quite fashionable; the banquet hall is the banquet hall, the breakfast hall is the breakfast hall, and breakfast is not dinner, which is novel enough.

"Any discoveries?"

Just when picking the buffet, Li Huai De saw him looking around vigilantly and asked faintly.

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at him and reminded: "Why didn't you see Director Shao Kang of Shanghai Electromechanical?"

"Um?" Li Huai De seemed to be hearing this name for the first time and also looked at the restaurant, "Do you know him?"

"Ate at the same table last night."

Li Xuewu explained, and seeing Wang Youhan from Beijing Auto coming over, he felt even more that Shao Kang's absence was a bit wrong.

"Director Li, morning." Wang Youhan walked over with a plate and greeted with a smile: "Secretary-General Li, morning."

Li Huai De didn't take him seriously, nodded and went to the front.

Generally, he would hand over this kind of greeting to Li Xuewu; people who really need to talk to him won't let him go.

"Why didn't you see Director Shao?"

Li Xuewu put a pork chop on his plate and asked casually.

"Don't you know?" Wang Youhan looked at him in surprise, seeing the doubt in his eyes, he knew that the other party wasn't teasing him.

"He had something to do and returned to the country temporarily." Wang Youhan explained faintly: "He left at four o'clock in the morning."

It turns out that the hesitation at the door last night was because someone had an accident; it wasn't that the other party was wise enough.

He thought he was scared away by himself; he was really narcissistic.

"Left at four o'clock?" Li Xuewu asked in surprise: "Returned so hurriedly?"

"Maybe, I also heard a sentence after getting up in the morning."

Wang Youhan didn't seem to care about the friend he had just made last night, at least not as much as the pork chop in front of him.

"Didn't expect there to be such a restaurant where you can eat as much as you want." He shook his head with some emotion and said: "If this were in the country, it definitely wouldn't last long."

Li Xuewu glanced at him amusedly; he didn't know how to explain to him what the changes of the times and the reincarnation of fate were.

"Are you following the delegation or going by yourself?"

Li Xuewu walked forward with the tray and asked casually: "Leaving today or tomorrow?"

"What about you? When are you leaving?" Wang Youhan pricked up his ears when he mentioned work, and his vigilant eyes were like the dog that Old Li once raised.

"Leaving today." Li Xuewu's answer had no nutrition, but he really answered, more directly than Wang Youhan.

"We are also leaving today."

Wang Youhan guarded against him more seriously than guarding against the enemy, not intending to reveal a bit of news.

Li Xuewu glanced at him amusedly and said: "Are we going together?"

He was also bad; he invited at this time: "The itinerary to Leipzig is not close; if you go late, you might not be able to come back."

"Who said we are going to Leipzig?" Wang Youhan stared at him and emphasized: "We are in Berlin."

"Hehe—there is no trust between people!"

Li Xuewu shook his head helplessly and said: "Regardless of whether you go or not, anyway, we are going to Leipzig."

He didn't care about Wang Youhan's increasingly serious gaze and explained very casually and helplessly: "Our Director Li seems to be determined to get the W50 car; no way."

"Are you going to produce trucks?"

Wang Youhan frowned and reminded: "Steel Auto already has so many models, and you still want to cross technical barriers to introduce truck production?"

"Be careful of biting more than you can chew."

"You'd better persuade our Director Li with these words." Li Xuewu looked back at him and said sincerely: "He is too obsessed with the fun of rapid transformation of technology and revenue."

Damn, got installed again!

If he had known, he wouldn't have picked up that conversation; who would have thought he needed to take a dump.

What the hell is obsessed with the transformation of technology and revenue; just say you have money.

If there was no money, why mention technology procurement; he is bragging.

Of course, Red Star Factory people also have the qualifications to brag about this; who let them achieve the established goal.

"Do you want to sit together?"

Li Xuewu indicated the dining table where Li Huai De was and invited Wang Youhan enthusiastically.

Wang Youhan politely refused and said: "I see a friend."

"Then let's go together after breakfast?" Li Xuewu was so bad; he invited at this time: "There is a companion on the road."

"We'll see, we'll see—"

Wang Youhan fled in a panic; he also didn't expect Li Xuewu to be so shameless, actually still setting him up.

Li Xuewu laughed twice at his back, and when he came to Old Li's table, the smile on his face hadn't completely disappeared when he told a piece of news that made Old Li's smile disappear.

"Deputy Director Shao Kang of Shanghai Electromechanical returned to the country early."

"What! When?"

Old Li showed enough surprise, because this situation almost couldn't happen in the delegation.

Besides, even if it happened, it wouldn't be so hidden; if there is something, say it, unless it's an accident...

"What happened?"

"Don't know." Li Xuewu glanced at him and indicated the noisy breakfast hall to explain lightly: "Wang Youhan said just now, left at four o'clock in the morning."

"Maybe there is something urgent." Li Huai De wanted to find a reason for the other party, but even he didn't believe this reason.

Li Xuewu didn't talk deeply about this topic; Old Li also seemed to lose interest in chatting, and breakfast was finished like this.

"Secretary-General, please wait."

Just when Li Xuewu finished packing his luggage and met Sha Qizhi to walk out of the hall to get in the car and leave, Liu Bin chased after him.

He pulled Li Xuewu's arm and walked to the side; after vigilantly scanning the people around, he whispered in his ear: "The leader asked me to remind you that Director Shao Kang of Shanghai Electromechanical had an accident last night; it was a knife wound."

"Um, okay, I know."

Li Xuewu nodded calmly, looked at Liu Bin and said: "Help me explain to the leader, we will pay attention to safety."

"Goodbye, Secretary-General."

Seeing that Li Xuewu already understood the meaning of the leader's words he conveyed, Liu Bin stood on the side and waved goodbye to the crowd getting in the car.

What the hell is a knife wound; in the hotel, how could a delegation member suffer a knife wound? This is Old Li's secret language.

Hehe, a knife on the head of the color word.

"Damn, full mouth running train!"

Very afraid of being snatched by Li Xuewu, Wang Youhan, who set off early to prepare, received news that the Red Star Steel Group's motorcade was not driving towards Leipzig.

Whether it was on the plane when they came, or in the idle talk after landing, what Li Xuewu told everyone was that he wouldn't let go of Leipzig's automobile industry.

Result? Just this?

Where the hell did you go!

"East Germany's railway network is very developed; it takes less than three hours for us to get to Rostock, and we can fully enjoy the local food at noon."

Sha Qizhi flipped through the materials in his hand and took the initiative to introduce the final destination of this trip to Li Xuewu.

Yes, that's right, Li Xuewu's trip was not aimed at Leipzig, and it wasn't even in the same direction.

If going to Leipzig, with East Germany's excellent highway network, it would be more convenient to drive a car there.

The reason why he chose to travel by train this time was because they were going north, almost the northernmost city in East Germany: Rostock.

You didn't remember wrong; this is the city Li Xuewu suggested Beijing Chemical should pay attention to, but what could attract Beijing Chemical's attention was not the nitrogen fertilizer production capacity here.

"Do you think Beijing Chemical will come?"

Sha Qizhi, as Li Xuewu's key assistant in East Germany this time, knew some of his plans, including the intention to induce Beijing Chemical to come as a stepping stone.

"Don't know, better if they come."

Li Xuewu withdrew his gaze from the window, looked at Sha Qizhi and said: "Even if they don't come, don't we still have to go all out."

"That's right, we have absolute confidence."

It was Sha Qizhi's turn to express his position; he said earnestly: "If we can't get the final desired result under this kind of layout, our international business department would be too incompetent."

"Don't talk too full."

Li Xuewu patted his knee, turned his head to continue looking out the window; the car sped past, and the scenery on the street looked a bit distorted.

The life of ordinary people in East Germany in this era is still quite good; while enjoying socialist welfare, they can also be seduced and cared for from time to time by the opposite side.

What can be better than the life of a wall-grass.

"I heard the leader put pressure on you?"

Sha Qizhi tentatively asked softly: "Is it related to our early preparation?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Li Xuewu glanced at him and said: "Where did you hear these messy words?"

After saying that, without waiting for Sha Qizhi to explain, he continued: "It is very normal for leaders to put pressure on those below; the situation is difficult and work is not smooth."

"But to say that the leader put pressure on us because we prepared early, this kind of talk is purely bullshit."

"Yes." Sha Qizhi nodded, which was considered to acknowledge this point.

"Don't over-interpret the leader's meeting last night." Li Xuewu looked at the girl in a red dress on the street and said: "That was just an ordinary meeting."

It's cold, and she's wearing a red dress; it's really strange.

Sha Qizhi had no mood to pay attention to the girl in the red dress on the street; his mind was all on the leader's sentence just now.

What is don't over-interpret, what is that was just an ordinary meeting.

This sounds as if the two just met in the corridor and greeted each other last night, but in reality?

He also had some relationships in the industrial system, but he had never heard of Director Du privately looking for anyone to drink.

Director Du, it seems, is very easy-going, but he is famous for sticking to principles; he allows people below to do things, but doesn't allow people below to do wrong things.

He also heard some content about the news last night, but didn't ask much, very afraid of adding difficulties to this trip that was already not very smooth.

Why didn't Director Du talk to Director Li, but instead looked for Secretary-General Li Xuewu in the middle of the night?

Is it because the upper level has any opinions or views on the group's leadership team, or even pays special attention to the significance of this action.

If he can create good results in this action, does it mean that the Secretary-General will advance again because of merit?

"Catherine should have arrived at the Ludwigsfelde factory by now, right?"

When the motorcade arrived at Berlin East Station, Li Xuewu stepped off the car, raised his head and sized up this must-visit place for tourism in Germany; actually, it was just like that.

He turned his head to look at Sha Qizhi and asked: "Where is Selena?"

"Strausberg Prison."

Sha Qizhi carried the bag, walked beside him and introduced: "The news sent back yesterday, the situation is a bit unclear."

"Don't worry, take your time."

Li Xuewu took the lead and walked towards the train station, while saying: "Give her some time; after all, this is not Hong Kong."

"Actually, this dark chess you arranged..." Sha Qizhi wanted to ask clearly, but seeing that there were more people around, and the foreign affairs secretary who acted with them also followed, he stopped his topic.

"Actually, Rostock is not fun, right."

Li Xuewu turned his head back and asked the foreign affairs secretary who followed with a smile: "But the seafood there must be good."

"Then you must be wrong."

He didn't expect that the delegation would generally go south; even if they didn't go south, they wouldn't go so far north; he didn't expect it at all!

He also only knew last night that the itinerary of this trip was not south, but all the way north, straight to the port city Rostock.

"A city so dependent on the shipbuilding industry and port trade, do you think the taste of seafood will be delicious?"

"Delicious not necessarily, but the taste must be very rich."

Li Xuewu smiled, put one hand in his coat pocket, and walked forward with big strides, looking like he was walking with wind.

The foreign affairs secretary didn't look at him, but still followed quickly.

No way, the delegation was granted the authority to organize visits temporarily and could visit and inspect any enterprise in East Germany.

This was also the few generous attitudes East Germany showed in receiving this visit.

The previous cautious and awkward attitude really made everyone feel uncomfortable; East German old iron expressed that they? one, don't mind.

"The taste is indeed very rich—"

The foreign affairs secretary reminded Li Xuewu before entering the platform: "Not far east of Rostock is the Nord Nuclear Power Plant; the fish and shrimp there taste more delicious."

"Hahaha—" Li Xuewu laughed heartily and walked into the platform, saying without looking back: "Red Star Steel doesn't pay attention to any nuclear power plant, but Beijing Chemical might not be; if you know a lot about that place, you can introduce it to President Zhu or Deputy Factory Director Bai."

The foreign affairs secretary was topped by him to the point of almost breaking defense; he could only say this kind of words to Li Xuewu; he wouldn't talk nonsense to anyone else.

However, it is true that the Nord Nuclear Power Plant is east of Rostock, in the city of Lubmin; this nuclear power plant provides most of the electricity for the whole country.

It is precisely because of the Nord Nuclear Power Plant that the Rostock region can use imported raw materials to develop chemical industries dominated by nitrogen fertilizer.

Why did Li Xuewu only mention it once, and Beijing Chemical was like being injected with chicken blood and aimed at this place.

Hehe, if they can get close, it would be Li Xuewu's waste of coming to East Germany.

However, having Beijing Chemical cover for them, and even using the behavior of inspecting nitrogen fertilizer and other chemical industries as a cover, will also help Red Star Factory a lot.

East Germany's administrative division is a bit complicated, mostly divided with city economy or industrial circles as the core.

For example, Rostock, Schwerin, and Neubrandenburg, these three regions are close to the ocean, which is conducive to developing trade through seaports, so they are divided by three city circles.

These three regions generally have difficulties such as lack of energy and mineral resources, sparse population, poor historical economic development, and weak industrial foundation.

But the opposite direction of lacking industrial foundation is the prominent status of agricultural economy.

Don't look at the nuclear power plant here, the nitrogen fertilizer industrial circle here, but what is fertilizer production serving?

That's right, agricultural economy.

The commercial meat and milk provided by these three regions account for 1/4 of the whole country.

Local people use agricultural products and fish for food processing, and its output value accounts for 1/5 of the national food industry output value.

Saying that it lacks industrial foundation, but here it has unique shipbuilding foundation and abundant power resources, so machinery manufacturing dominated by shipbuilding and electrical machinery occupies an important position.

"Him? Hehe—" Du Xian shook his head amusedly, looked at Li Xuewu expectantly and said: "He is a good leader, right?"

"Look at what you said, aren't you also a good leader?"

Li Xuewu smiled and didn't take his words, instead sent this sentence back.

Du Xian felt even more amused, tasted the wine and food brought by Li Xuewu, and felt much more comfortable in his heart.

"Deputy Director Li might leave early." He rarely talked to Li Xuewu about the arrangements for this visit action.

"He is going to Dresden tomorrow; do you want to follow?"

"No, I have other arrangements."

Li Xuewu refused his inquiry very directly, explaining earnestly: "From tomorrow on, until the end of the itinerary, I don't have time to participate in other activities; I have to leave tomorrow morning."

"Um, I also knew you would make such a choice, so I refused Deputy Director Li's invitation for you."

Du Xian looked at him with a smile and asked: "You won't blame me, right?"

"Where, it's too late to thank you."

Li Xuewu raised his wine glass sincerely and said: "If Deputy Director Li said it, I really wouldn't know how to refuse him."

"Hahaha—" Du Xian likes dealing with smart people the most; some words don't need to be said through to be understood; what a good seedling.

Actually, he didn't know that Li Xuewu's attitude towards Deputy Director Li was to respect and keep his distance, not targeting Deputy Director Li, but towards all leaders.

Even Du Xian, because the other party is the person in charge of the industrial system, he couldn't hide, otherwise Li Xuewu wouldn't be close to him either.

What level is he now? Don't look at the position supporting him, but it's eight hundred meters away from the real center.

Excessive contact and testing at this time can only bring storms or opportunities that he cannot catch in his current state.

Mirror flowers and water moon, what's the point.

So Du Xian tested him first, and then took the initiative to explain helping him refuse Deputy Director Li's invitation; Li Xuewu really thanked him.

Du Xian also understood his thoughts and attitude, and wouldn't test him again next.

The words that should be chatted were chatted; without persuading the two to really stop at the point, they tacitly accelerated the speed of eating.

By the time he came out of Du Xian's room, Li Xuewu glanced at the time on his hand; it was already midnight.

Li Xuewu walked into the elevator, rubbed his face; does this count as dinner or a midnight snack?

Ding—

The elevator ran for one floor and the door suddenly opened; the sound of high heels stepping on the floor sounded, and a young woman in a beautiful outfit walked in.

Li Xuewu stood in the corner with a numb expression, only sized the other party up, without any intention of chatting.

But obviously, the other party was aiming at him.

"Sir, are you alone too?" The woman smiled and raised her eyebrows, asking: "The night is very boring, right?"

"Indeed, indeed." He was really capable, learning and selling: "Indeed not bad."

Li Xuewu glanced at him speechlessly; seeing Wang Youhan opposite looking over, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and turned his head to the side.

He said all my words!

The banquet started after the main guests entered; when Deputy Director Li walked in accompanied by Willi Stoph, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of East Germany, warm applause sounded at the scene.

The German accompanying personnel also included the Chairman of the Economic Committee, Günter Mittag, and the Secretary of the Economic Committee, Felix.

The dishes were served by waiters one by one, not arranged on plates, but in a divided meal system; there was a set of dishes in front of everyone.

Life was tight, but the banquet was organized with sound and color.

Li Xuewu looked at the dishes tonight on the menu in his hand; there were Black Forest ham, caviar, beef, steak tartare, German clear bean soup, German sashimi, sauerkraut, German apple crisp, fried pancakes, and a special German pork knuckle hot pot.

"How is this thing made?"

Shao Kang looked at the oily thing in the bowl and asked curiously.

He didn't ask Li Xuewu alone, just felt curious.

Li Xuewu glanced at him and reminded softly: "This is raw."

"Steak tartare? Raw?"

Shao Kang looked at him in surprise and asked: "Why?"

"Because this is a Mongolian dish."

Li Xuewu explained faintly: "In ancient times, there was no convenient cooking environment for marching; eating raw was also a habit."

"How can this be eaten?"

Shao Kang still hadn't lived a hard life, actually picking on beef.

Li Xuewu also didn't move that thing; it looked very hard to swallow, let alone really eat.

However, ham and caviar couldn't be missed; the ham must be produced in Germany, and the caviar certainly wasn't.

Where it came from didn't need to be said; East Germany could also eat some good things by following the big brother.

The first to speak before Li Xuewu was the Chairman of the German Economic Committee, Günter Mittag; he took the necessary environmental factors for Sino-German economic development as the topic and expounded the corresponding viewpoints with special meaning.

When he came down, there was still a proud smile on his face.

At the invitation of the host, Li Xuewu stood up and walked to the podium with a vigorous momentum.

"Good evening, comrades; the topic I want to share is 'Reconstruction, Challenges, and Opportunities of the New Era International Industrial Order: The Responsibility of a Great Power'."

"Hoo—hoo—"

Hmm? The snoring sound opposite almost made the book she had forgotten to turn the page for fall to the ground; Yulia raised her head, looking at the opposite side with eyes full of disbelief.

I'm sitting right here, and you actually fell asleep?

Then didn't I travel quickly by car from Berlin to the station in front of you just to find you on the train for nothing?

She seemed to have forgotten that the person opposite wasn't alone; that surprised and stunned expression was seen clearly by Sha Qizhi.

And the security, who had long been reminded by Sha Qizhi to pay attention to this side, also discovered her abnormality.

But there was no isolation zone here, and they had no qualification to drive the other party away or ask the other party to change to another seat.

The reason was simple: the other party didn't show obvious malice, nor did she affect the rest of other passengers.

They were also ordinary passengers on this train; there was no reason to ask for more.

Therefore, when the girl opposite was surprised, multiple gazes were already fixed on her; this was a dangerous signal.

It was just that her communicator couldn't come forward at this time, because he discovered that these were all Eastern faces with black hair.

He had hoped Yulia could enter the tiger's den and take down the star figure from last night, but the result was that they were exposed the moment they got on the train.

Why say they were exposed? Just look at the people in this carriage.

Half the carriage's gazes were gathered in such a narrow area; who was carrying guilt and purpose could be seen clearly at a glance.

At this time, he also hated the leader intensely; why was he in such a hurry, choosing to make contact with the other party on the train.

If they had changed to another place, perhaps they would have had more room to maneuver, such as creating a chance encounter in Rostock.

Now it was good; Yulia was trapped inside and couldn't move, and he couldn't even go up to help.

Because the other party was waiting for his arrival; that would be the key moment to close the net, and he would be caught together with Yulia.

No, he must break the connection with Yulia; he couldn't let both of them fall here.

So the security and Sha Qizhi waited for a long time, but didn't see any special figures appear; did the leader guess wrong?

Is this girl just an ordinary college student?

"Hmm, help me pour a glass of water."

Li Xuewu's snoring stopped suddenly, but he didn't open his eyes; he just gave an order to Sha Qizhi beside him.

Sha Qizhi opened the lid of the thermos cup and handed it to him.

Li Xuewu took it in his hand, and only then did he open his eyes and take a slow sip.

And the girl opposite was staring at his side profile in surprise, without blinking.

Looking at it this way, without seeing that shocking scar, this man was still very handsome.

It was an Eastern appearance, but also had a bright and clean spirit.

"Are you a student at Dresden University of Technology?"

Li Xuewu glanced at the opposite side; her schoolbag was placed on the small table, and he happened to see her student ID.

"Uh—that's right."

Yulia almost didn't react; she was a student at Dresden University of Technology—this was her new identity.

No need to doubt; at this time, one could definitely find her student status at Dresden University of Technology, and there might even be classmates who knew her.

"Don't you have classes?" Li Xuewu sized her up lightly and asked, "You have classes today, right."
