"Is that so~"

Li Xuewu glanced at Zhang Songying and gave her a thumbs-up expression.

He didn't care about the slightly jealous and dissatisfied look she gave Zhou Xiaoling, and signaled to the desk side: "Talk over here."

He just threw the material tidying work on the bed to Li Xue and signaled Zhang Songying to talk on the side.

Zhang Songying naturally knew Li Xue, but her eyes had been staring at Zhou Xiaoling.

Li Xue's eyes, on the contrary, were staring at her, because Zhou Xiaoling had no destructive power in Li Xue's eyes, but this young woman!

Hmph!

Just by looking at that look, she knew she wasn't a good woman!

Seeing Zhang Songying go to the desk side and whisper to her second brother, Li Xue twitched the corner of her mouth and almost cursed.

"That...... Comrade Li Xue."

Zhou Xiaoling said timidly to Li Xue: "I'm sorry, I......"

She was caught by Li Xuewu's sister and blocked at the door. She knew it was over on the surface, but everyone knew what the actual situation was.

She said sorry and wanted to explain the reason for coming here today, but couldn't say it no matter what. Her face turned red, and she was about to shed tears.

Especially being seen by the Deputy Director Zhang who just entered the door, facing her look, Zhou Xiaoling was so scared that her hands and feet were cold.

"Sigh~"

What a sin~~~!

Li Xue sighed, walked to Zhou Xiaoling's side, squatted down and tidied up the materials.

"Call me Li Xue; you're older than me, right?"

"Ah? Seems so."

Zhou Xiaoling didn't expect Li Xue to be so "approachable" and hesitated, not knowing how to pick up the conversation.

Li Xue didn't care about her motivation or the awkwardness at this moment, and said to herself: "Then call me Li Xue; calling me comrade sounds old-fashioned."

"Good...... good."

Zhou Xiaoling saw Li Xue was so easy to get along with, so she also squatted down and tidied up with her.

Li Xue turned her head to look at the desk side, rolled her eyes, and asked Zhou Xiaoling: "Don't you dislike my second brother for being ugly?"

"Ah?"

Zhou Xiaoling was stunned all of a sudden. She just felt Li Xue was easy to get along with, but was that an illusion?

Asking such a sharp question right away—how should she answer?

Li Xue didn't think about getting her answer, turned her head and continued tidying up, muttering softly: "What do you like about him? That big scar on his face; he's scary when he gets angry."

"He doesn't know how to say sweet words, and has no literary talent or ability. Apart from work ability, he's useless; he's nothing~"

"......"

Zhou Xiaoling was speechless. She also didn't expect her idol to be so...... "ordinary" in his sister's eyes.

"Don't you believe it?"

Li Xue filled a box, took another box and squatted down, looking at Zhou Xiaoling and saying: "You can understand more. My second brother and my second sister-in-law don't have much common language; he's just a workaholic."

"......"

Zhou Xiaoling was silent. She heard the meaning in Li Xue's words; it was a clear refusal, and also a way to give her a step down.

After a long while, she opened her mouth and said: "I don't know, Xiaoxiao said he was a hero......"

"My second brother is of course a hero."

Li Xue looked at Zhou Xiaoling very seriously and said: "But this doesn't mean he is a perfect lover, nor does it mean he has a more tolerant mind."

Seeing Zhou Xiaoling's face turn a bit pale, Li Xue shrugged her shoulders and whispered: "Actually, my second brother is very narrow-minded~"

"This......"

Zhou Xiaoling seemed to have heard some Arabian Nights. Li Xuewu was such a big leader; how could he be narrow-minded?

Could it be that Li Xue deliberately said this so she would give up contacting the leader?

"Believe it or not~"

Li Xue pursed her lips and said: "He wouldn't be like this with me, nor with his family, but he is narrow-minded."

Saying this, she also glanced at her second brother at the desk and sighed: "He's actually quite an ordinary person."

"Including liking a beautiful girl like you."

Li Xue was really shocking. Just after sighing, she gave Zhou Xiaoling a painful blow.

Under Zhou Xiaoling's wide-eyed, disbelieving expression, she asked very calmly: "When do you think a man will stop liking young and beautiful girls?"

"......"

Zhou Xiaoling's cultural level was really not high. She was selected into the art performance team in elementary school, and cultural lessons were all auxiliary learning.

She didn't think she was stupid before; on the contrary, she thought she was very clever and could talk well.

But in front of Li Xue, facing one question after another, she seemed like a fool, unable to answer anything.

It might be nervousness, or it might be a guilty conscience. She was squatting on the ground at this moment, tidying up unconsciously, unable to say anything.

Li Xue didn't wait for her answer and gave the answer herself: "At any time."

Seeing Zhou Xiaoling look up, she nodded very seriously: "At any time, men like young and beautiful girls."

"But they will only be responsible within marriage."

Li Xue emphasized: "Unless you have other requests, or really want a desperate love that is destined to fail."

"I...... maybe."

Zhou Xiaoling was ashamed by her words at this moment. After shame came deep self-blame.

How did she become like she was possessed in the past few days, especially seeing Li Xuewu's invincibility at the trade fair, which made her admire and like him from the bottom of her heart.

She admitted she had utilitarianism, but saying she approached Li Xuewu just for utilitarianism was an insult to her personality.

If there was no liking, why not approach someone with more "ability"? Which young girl doesn't......

"You're really amazing~"

Zhou Xiaoling examined her heart, took a deep breath, and it seemed that the original self had returned.

But after breathing, she knew deeply what she had lost. Being here, what she lost was dignity that couldn't be found back.

She looked at Li Xue and said sincerely and sincerely: "You understand more than I do, think deeper than I do, and see further and more realistically than I do."

"This is thanks to my second brother."

Li Xue saw her eyes were clear, smiled slightly, and said: "He told me what kind of existence a man is, and also told me not to tell others what he said, and not to be a traitor to men."

"Hee hee~"

Zhou Xiaoling covered her mouth and giggled, glanced at Li Xuewu, moved closer to Li Xue, and started whispering.

And Zhang Songying, who had been watching them, curled her lips, signaled to Li Xuewu, and asked softly: "Does this count as cheating?"

"What?"

Li Xuewu was looking at the notes she made, considering which restaurant to coordinate to visit and learn from in a few days.

He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Songying, then looked at the two people huddled together according to her signal, a bit confused.

Zhang Songying complained softly and aggrievedly: "Your sister doesn't like me~"

"What's wrong with that?!"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "She doesn't like me either~"

"Can this be the same~"

Zhang Songying pouted, sat beside the desk and asked: "Did that girl come by herself?"

"Otherwise?"

Li Xuewu's gaze swept over, pointed at the information on the notebook and said: "Tomorrow you take people to coordinate these few; next Tuesday, Director Li and I should have time to go over."

"Good, I know."

Zhang Songying marked it clearly with a pencil and asked some specific requirements before standing up.

She knew very well that with that little girl here, and Li Xuewu's sister here, and the door still open, she couldn't stay tonight.

Li Xuewu sent her out the door, saw the clothes hanging in the bathroom, Zhang Songying curled her lips, didn't say anything, and left reluctantly.

"Almost there?"

Li Xuewu walked back to the room and asked, looking at the two people huddled together whispering.

Li Xue hadn't spoken yet, but Zhou Xiaoling stood up and said nervously: "Sorry leader, I......"

Li Xuewu waved his hand, interrupting her words, and said: "Privately, you don't need to call me leader; call me by name, or call me comrade."

While speaking, he took the prepared bag from the bedside and handed it to her, saying: "Thank you for coming to help today; this is a small gift prepared for you, don't be polite."

"Leader, this......"

Zhou Xiaoling didn't expect Li Xuewu to have prepared a gift for her, was stunned, blushed again, and refused repeatedly.

"No, no, I can't take it, I didn't help with anything......"

Li Xue didn't wait for her second brother to be polite again, grabbed it and looked at it, and stuffed it into Zhou Xiaoling's arms.

"Take it, it's quite good-looking."

Saying this, she also emphasized to Zhou Xiaoling: "Don't listen to my second brother; calling him comrade is weird, and you don't dare to call him by name."

"If you want to be friends with me, just call him Second Brother with me."

Zhou Xiaoling held the paper bag, her face red. If she were really asked to call him Second Brother, she wouldn't dare.

Li Xuewu was very surprised; Li Xue could still take the initiative to make friends.

Since they were all her sister's friends, he also nodded with a smile: "You can call him that."

After speaking, he looked at the time on his hand and reminded: "It's not early; you and Li Xue both have work to be busy with tomorrow, go back and rest quickly."

"Going, going."

Li Xue pulled Zhou Xiaoling, didn't give her a chance to be polite again, and took her out of the room door.

Li Xuewu looked at his sister amusedly, sent them to the door, and then turned back to close the room door and prepare to sleep.

Just as he walked back to the bedside, the room door was knocked again.

Li Xuewu scratched his head amusedly; what was going on today?

Opening the room door, it was Li Xue who had returned.

"Second Brother~"

Li Xue didn't enter the room, stood at the door looking at him, shook her head slightly, and said helplessly and sighingly: "Why don't we get a scar on the other side of your face too~"

After speaking, she didn't wait for Li Xuewu to react, and emphasized with reason: "Anyway, my second sister-in-law doesn't dislike you!"

"Hey! You unfilial child!"

Li Xuewu scolded amusedly and angrily: "Not sleeping in the middle of the night, what nonsense are you talking about with me!"

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

Li Xue squeezed at the door and pouted: "For you, I even have to take the initiative to make friends!"

"So I'm hindering you from making friends?"

Li Xuewu flicked her forehead amusedly and asked: "Tell me, what's going on with that Zhou Xiaoling?"

"What's going on?!"

Li Xue leaned against the door frame, pouted, and said: "I'm afraid their Cultural Propaganda Team will have more silly girls who have ulterior motives and go astray, so I'll set up an ambush first!"

She signaled to the corridor and said: "She has already been persuaded by me not to like you. I've eliminated a hidden danger for you; you say I've sacrificed too much!"

"Did I use you? ~"

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed at her forehead, saying: "At such a young age, too many thoughts!"

"You don't need to worry; I can still keep myself pure. Don't you believe in your second brother's willpower?"

"Hmph!"

Pushed out of the room by her second brother, Li Xue snorted lightly, curled her lips and went to her room.

Li Xuewu leaned over and watched his sister leave, the smile at the corner of his mouth turning into doting.

She was his own sister after all; although she had been angry for several days, she still cared about him.

As for the little tricks she played with Zhou Xiaoling, they were too childish in his eyes.

Including Zhou Xiaoling, they were all the same.

Just as he said, even if Li Xue didn't come, he wouldn't do anything to Zhou Xiaoling.

Not to mention the risks brought by her knocking on the door in the middle of the night, even if he had the heart, would he leave the room door open?

From the beginning, he didn't think about taking advantage of that girl; he was a man of principle.

He absolutely wouldn't touch a flower without an owner!

A good man, sticking to the bottom line!

"Why are you back?"

Zhou Miaomiao was washing her face in the room, ready to sleep, but heard the door sound.

She had been out for a long time and hadn't returned; she thought Zhou Xiaoling had succeeded in her brave adventure.

So fast...... that's not right, is it?

Zhou Miaomiao didn't even wipe her face and chased out from the bathroom, looked at Zhou Xiaoling who was lying on the bed as soon as she entered, her eyes full of shock and a sense of broken heart.

"He...... he's so fast...... not working?"

"Ugh~ what is it~"

Zhou Xiaoling felt she had no face to see anyone; hearing Zhou Miaomiao's question, she was even more amused and annoyed.

She turned over, looked at Zhou Miaomiao, and said: "His sister went, and Director Zhang of the reception center also went. I helped wash the clothes."

After speaking, she didn't wait for Zhou Miaomiao to speak, and she "sobbed" again, lying back down like a puppy that had been wronged.

Zhou Miaomiao heard her answer like this, and only then felt her face hadn't been wiped clean, and hurriedly went back to wash her face.

Li Xuewu was the white moonlight in her heart; she just said how could such a fierce and tough man let a young and beautiful girl come back so fast.

If it was really what she thought, she would be heartbroken, the kind where dreams would break.

Every time she accompanied Director Li, she would close her eyes, thinking of the white moonlight.

In dreams, in imagination, the time the white moonlight existed was too short, which also left her with the regret of broken dreams.

Director Li was really not useful; he didn't have the ability to give her a long time of fantasy.

Inevitably, thinking too much, she was afraid that the white moonlight would really be like Director Li.

Zhou Xiaoling's performance just now almost scared her; she thought dreams had shone into reality.

Where was this a dream? This was a nightmare.

Fortunately, everything was a misunderstanding!

The white moonlight was still fierce and tough~

After washing her face, she took a towel and walked out while wiping, asking Zhou Xiaoling on the bed: "What's the situation? The teacher hasn't come out yet, but the army is dead~"

"Wuwu~ I have no face to see anyone~"

Zhou Xiaoling cried falsely, covering her face and lying on the bed, not wanting to get up.

Zhou Miaomiao looked at her amusedly and said: "Bad luck this time, keep working hard next time~"

"Forget it~"

Zhou Xiaoling lay on the bed, her voice saying dully: "He doesn't like me, and didn't think about keeping me."

"Pfft~ men, sometimes they will be reserved, will be fake serious~"

Zhou Miaomiao sat on the edge of the bed, persuading with an experienced tone: "How can you give up if you don't succeed once?"

"Understand the softness overcoming the hardness? Understand the water dripping through the stone?"

"Want to make progress, but still be tripped by this little thing?"

Her life took a shortcut, and she also wanted her "good sisters" to walk it together.

Shortcuts are taken more, and they become the default road; by then, everyone wouldn't look at her with strange eyes.

Do you think they don't need to make connections and build relationship networks in the dance team?

Everyone is in the game, and everyone needs to socialize and build networks.

In Zhou Miaomiao's view, she had no hope of being Director Li's red flag, and she didn't want to herself, but the colorful flag had to stand firm.

If the reputation is ruined, then throw it away completely, but people ultimately have to survive in society.

At the Steel Rolling Plant, even if she made progress, she was alone, and how could she survive without support.

If little sisters like Zhou Xiaoling made progress together, everyone was the same kind of person, the same background, united together, why wasn't it a force.

Without upward pulling force, is there no tension to maintain oneself!

She helped Zhou Xiaoling today, and Zhou Xiaoling could help her tomorrow.

Zhou Xiaoling chose Li Xuewu, who didn't have a competitive relationship with her, so why not help.

Speaking more extremely, even if Zhou Xiaoling chose Director Li, she didn't care.

As long as Director Li arranged what he promised her, it was just sharing the same pole and suffering together.

She had experienced wind and rain and saw more and more clearly; pure love and inseparable feelings became luxuries here.

Zhou Xiaoling still couldn't let go, couldn't think it through, couldn't bear to; if she really went to find Director Li, their relationship would be even closer.

Everyone knew Li Xuewu's goodness, young and promising, but the more like this, the harder it was to climb.

Zhou Miaomiao gave herself skincare oil. Seeing Zhou Xiaoling didn't answer, only hearing her hum and haw, she turned back and gave her a slap, hitting her butt board!

"If you think he's too hard to contact, I'll talk to Director Li for you next time~"

"Go away~"

Zhou Xiaoling was also startled by her boldness; no matter if it was a joke or not, she was blushing.

Turning back to give Zhou Miaomiao a hit, she sat up from the bed, looked at Zhou Miaomiao and asked: "You say, is Deputy Director Zhang of the reception center......?"

"What is it?"

Zhou Miaomiao asked knowingly: "Did you see it? Or did you hear it?"

After speaking, she rubbed her hands, raised her eyebrows slightly and asked back: "You wouldn't have heard about Yu Haitang from the broadcast station getting beaten, right?"

"This...... seems very complicated~"

Zhou Xiaoling also hesitated, looked at Zhou Miaomiao who seemed to know everything and asked: "Do they really have that layer of relationship?"

"Saying you're stupid~"

Zhou Miaomiao raised her hand and pointed at her forehead, blaming: "You didn't sleep in the middle of the night to help, which is fake; she went to report work in the middle of the night, which is true?"

"But! She...... she......"

Zhou Xiaoling bit her lip, looking unwilling, and also unconvinced, saying: "Why~"

She was really unconvinced; at this moment, she complained to Zhou Miaomiao: "She is twenty-six, I am eighteen; she is married, I am unmarried; she is old and yellow, I am young and beautiful; what is worse than her?!"

"Hey! You said the answer yourself!"

Zhou Miaomiao pointed at Zhou Xiaoling's pouted lips and said: "In the eyes of some people, being married is a plus."

After speaking, she looked at the surprised Zhou Xiaoling amusedly and said: "Because they are afraid, afraid that we will become trouble."

"Hmph~ stinky man!"

Zhou Xiaoling also understood, hammered the pillow angrily, turned around and lay down again.

Zhou Miaomiao looked at her amusedly and teased: "I think just forget it; he is not a person willing to take risks for a bite to eat, and he doesn't lack this bite to eat."

"How about~"

She asked deliberately: "I'll help you talk to Director Li?"

"I won't!"

Zhou Xiaoling lay on the bed, staring and saying: "I won't give my great youth to an old man~"

"Scare~ what are you saying~"

Zhou Miaomiao was unhappy, slapped her hard, and scolded: "So you didn't look up to me~"

"You don't understand what I mean!"

Zhou Xiaoling also knew she said the wrong thing, sat up again, looked at Zhou Miaomiao and said: "I mean, I can't contact him, so I'll take a detour."

"What?"

Zhou Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she reminded: "I'm telling you, your youth only happens once, and his secretary is not a good person!"

"What are you saying~!"

Zhou Xiaoling wrinkled her nose, leaned to Zhou Miaomiao's side and asked softly: "His sister, Li Xue, do you know her?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

Zhou Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and said: "Isn't she Deputy Director Jing's secretary, who came together~"

"That's her~"

Zhou Xiaoling said mysteriously: "That little girl is very clever; she's afraid I'll seduce her second brother, so she deliberately wants to be friends with me!"

"There's such a thing?"

Zhou Miaomiao was also surprised and amused. This was someone who went to do bad things, but how did they become friends after being caught?

Zhou Xiaoling pursed her lips and said: "She also asked me about the situation of our dance team, saying she knew Wang Yajuan, and also said Wang Yajuan's sister works near her home."

"Then what does she mean?"

Zhou Miaomiao asked gossipingly: "Could it be that she thinks after being friends with you, you will give up on her second brother?"

"Hmph~ not at all!"

Zhou Xiaoling lay on the bed, looked at Zhou Miaomiao and said: "She wants to be friends with me, so that everyone in our dance team will give up on her second brother!"

"Good~~~"

Zhou Miaomiao opened her mouth amusedly and said: "This little girl really...... really has ideas!"

"What about you?"

After laughing, she asked Zhou Xiaoling again: "What do you think?"

"You just said taking a detour; could it be that you want to contact him through his sister?"

Zhou Miaomiao figured it out at this moment, with an expression of watching a drama, and said: "You are really amazing, using his own way to treat him!"

"No!"

Zhou Xiaoling pursed her lips and shook her head, denying: "That's too troublesome, and I feel that with my capital, I can't play against that man."

"Then?"

Zhou Miaomiao, whose answer was rejected, couldn't guess what Zhou Xiaoling wanted to do.

Zhou Xiaoling looked into her eyes with a winning ticket and said: "If I can't take down Li Xuewu, then I'll take down Li Xuewu's sister. I'm going to call him Second Brother with her!"

"You don't have to go to the scene today~"

Jing Yunong stood in the courtyard and said to Li Xuewu: "Later, Wufengxing will come over to finalize the preliminary cooperation foundation plan."

Li Huai De was also about to get in the car to leave. Hearing Jing Yunong explaining work to Li Xuewu, he also pointed at him and said: "Just like that, Deputy Director Jing goes to the scene, and I go to the meeting."

"Leader,"

Li Xuewu held the car door for Jing Yunong and said bitterly to Li Huai De and her: "I don't have the decision-making power; why don't we go to the exhibition hall in a while?"

"Don't be so troublesome."

Jing Yunong smiled, looked at Li Huai De and said: "I still trust Deputy Team Leader Li; we won't suffer a loss."

"Mm-hmm."

Li Huai De also smiled, and while getting into the car, said: "It's better for Xuewu to talk; it's not good for us to be here, it affects his performance."

"Clang," he closed the car door, pointed at Li Xuewu from the window and said: "With me and Deputy Director Jing here, it's hard to open our mouths, and some words are hard to say."

"Just you come!"

"Yes!"

Jing Yunong saw him get in the car, and she also got in. Li Xuewu closed the car door for her, and she echoed with a smile: "Both Director Li and I trust you; talk boldly!"

After saying this, the two cars left one after another, looking like they weren't afraid of Li Xuewu talking at a loss.

The cooperation foundation had reached this point; it was impossible for the talks to collapse, only a question of how much to earn.

They couldn't trust others, but with Li Xuewu, only he took advantage of others, and no one could take advantage of him.

Jing Yunong advocated for Li Xuewu to preside over the negotiations based on this reason.

Furthermore, Li Xuewu's performance at this trade fair, whether it was scheduling, coordination, or adaptability, had opened the eyes of the sales team.

Li Xuewu's endless means had opened a door called "outside the rules" for the trade team.

She had already achieved sufficient results in the third industry and naturally supported Li Xuewu to continue to exert his efforts.

Li Huai De supporting Li Xuewu to preside over the work had other considerations.

First was ability. On this point, with work today, he fully trusted that Li Xuewu could stand alone.

Second was performance. Li Xuewu was very good at being a person. He had read the news drafts issued by the sales office these days, mostly praising him and Jing Yunong for their leadership, and the sales team for uniting to create good results, without highlighting his personal performance.

He liked this kind of subordinate, but he also had to protect and support them. If work achieved results, it couldn't all be the leader's; he had to give the person doing the work a chance to perform.

This negotiation with Wufengxing was a solid result, and he wanted to hand it over to Li Xuewu to push him up.

Presiding over the cooperation agreement between two large factories and coordinating the contract for a major foreign trade channel.

This credit was enough for Li Xuewu to sit firmly in the position of Deputy Director of the Management Committee Office at the end of the year.

Added to the overall credit of the trade fair, Li Xuewu's right to speak within the Steel Rolling Plant would be consolidated and improved.

Zhang Guoqi was down, and Li Xuewu was the facade he pushed to the front to act on his behalf.

This facade was much stronger than Zhang Guoqi, and there were too many things he could do.

Deputy Director of the Management Committee Office, not responsible for specific work business, docking directly with him, directly responsible for urging the work he arranged.

To say it was like an imperial envoy holding a Shangfang sword was a bit too much, but to say he represented him in presiding over certain work was appropriate.

The last reason was that he knew very well the position Li Xuewu occupied between the cooperation of Wufengxing and the Steel Rolling Plant.

He knew some of Li Xuewu's relationships in Wufengxing. The benefits generated by the cooperation between the two units were shared by everyone.

He wasn't jealous of Li Xuewu making a fortune in this cooperation, because even if Li Xuewu made more, it wouldn't be more than the Steel Rolling Plant.

The Steel Rolling Plant was all his now; he didn't care about a little more or a little less.

If you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grass.

If Li Xuewu had no selfishness, he wouldn't dare to use him; he wouldn't know how to control the other party or how to trust him.

So following Jing Yunong's arrangement for Li Xuewu to preside over the work was also a kind of indulgence for Li Xuewu.

As for how much Li Xuewu earned, he had a rough idea in his heart, and he also believed that Li Xuewu wouldn't do stupid things.

Yes, Li Xuewu naturally wouldn't do stupid things.

In this cooperation, he wouldn't put a cent into his own pocket, because it was all put into his company's pocket directly.

October 18th, 9:00 AM.

Wufengxing representative Ai Jiaqing and Eastern Trade Co., Ltd. Vice President Selina led a team to visit the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant station.

Other Hong Kong businessmen included: Eastern Era Bank Co., Ltd. representative Lou Xiaoe, East Wind Shipping representative Wen Hanze, and others.

Li Xuewu saw that his cheap father-in-law Lou Yu was also among the crowd. They met at the exhibition hall two days ago, and his spirit was still okay.

However, from the expression that flashed in his eyes from time to time, and his much paler hair, one could still see that he hadn't had an easy time in Hong Kong during this period.

When Li Xuewu shook hands with him, Lou Yu was also a bit excited, pursing his lips and trying to endure the emotional fluctuation.

Organized by Sha Qizhi, everyone was welcomed into the large conference room.

The logistics staff had long prepared the tea, and it was served while everyone was exchanging greetings and taking their seats.

Here, Li Xuewu represented the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant, Ai Jiaqing represented Wufengxing, and Selina and the others had special positions, located in the cooperation interval between the two units.

Only when the Steel Rolling Plant and Wufengxing carried out in-depth cooperation would Eastern Trade and East Wind Shipping have business and markets.

Naturally, they came to attend the meeting today mainly to listen in and make supplements and coordination for the business involved in the negotiation process between the two units.

From the seating layout, one could see the main subjects of today's negotiation: Li Xuewu and Ai Jiaqing sat opposite each other at the two ends of the conference table, with their negotiation teams beside them.

And Lou Yu and the others were sitting around, also separated according to their teams.

Li Xuewu glanced at Sha Qizhi; the moment the conference room door closed, the negotiation officially began.

"The main topics for discussion today are the following points."

Li Xuewu was the host and spoke first: "First is to discuss and determine the relevant construction plans for the cannery and the winery."

"Second is to study the OEM offer for the multi-functional food processing plant, and determine the OEM direction and construction plan."

"Finally is the agency contract plan for the Steel Rolling Plant's export commodities, as well as the agency contract plan for OEM and imported commodities."

When Li Xuewu said the last item, he raised his head and looked at Selina, saying: "The negotiation subject for the last item is Eastern Trade."

Selina, sitting on one side of the table, nodded, indicating she understood.

"Good, now start discussing the first topic."

They were all enterprise cadres within the organization and were very familiar with this set of having meetings.

Facing Li Xuewu turning the negotiation meeting into a discussion meeting, Ai Jiaqing and Selina, as representatives, didn't express opposition.

The cooperation intentions of the parties had already been determined, and the relevant equity distribution had already been finalized and reported. The remaining details were what needed discussion meetings.

Li Xuewu waved his hand to signal the office staff to distribute the cannery construction plan to the other party and started to explain and clarify this issue.

"According to the investment ratio, as well as the investment method and division of rights and responsibilities, the Steel Rolling Plant is responsible for land clearing, plant construction, production equipment, technical preparation, domestic transportation, raw material supply chain layout, and worker and factory administrative management."

"Wufengxing is responsible for channel sales, brand marketing, product operation, trade customs clearance, overseas transportation, and corresponding equity capital investment."

Li Xuewu glanced at the opposite side and continued: "The Steel Rolling Plant has already provided the specific plan for the factory's investment and construction in this material. Please review it and put forward your opinions."

"Good."

Ai Jiaqing nodded, took the conversation and started speaking: "Regarding the cannery investment and construction plan in the first topic, our side has already received it. First, let me elaborate and explain the responsibilities our side should bear."

"According to the established investment ratio and equity requirements, our side will allocate capital investment funds of 250,000 yuan within no later than 15 days from the date of the contract signing."

"Regarding the overseas transportation project, our side has subcontracted this work to East Wind Shipping, and the transportation, safety, and other series of essential contents are borne by East Wind Shipping."

Ai Jiaqing's voice carried the masculinity of a professional business woman, explaining the contents of the agreement item by item.

Because of Wufengxing's special agency status in the export commodity project, the relevant food customs clearance problems were not difficult to solve.

In terms of product operation and brand marketing, according to the brand strategy proposed by the Steel Rolling Plant, Wufengxing gave an answer.

Li Xuewu had given clear requirements for brand management in the last contact negotiation.

The food brand belonging to canned food should belong to the food factory, and according to characteristics, be divided into export brands and domestic sales brands.

Wufengxing holds and influences according to shares in brand operation.

Ai Jiaqing had different opinions on this point in the last meeting.

She had made concessions, allowing the canned food brand to be graded and distributed: the overseas brand belongs to Wufengxing, and the domestic brand belongs to the Steel Rolling Plant.

Li Xuewu disagreed, insisting that the canned food brand temporarily named 【Red Star Wufeng Food Factory】 brand belongs to the factory brand.

The two sides temporarily shelved this issue, and in this discussion meeting, Ai Jiaqing raised it again.

"Hong Kong has a judgment on the recognition and acceptance of mainland food."

Ai Jiaqing looked at Li Xuewu seriously and said: "The relevant food brand should prioritize localization, adapt to regional development characteristics, and it is better to be registered in Hong Kong."

"Then brand proxy holding."

Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said: "The brand represents the credibility and correctness of the commodity. I still don't agree with the risk of off-site registration."

This was said very bluntly; it was not trusting Wufengxing. In the process of commercial negotiation, there were no "good brothers."

Say what you have to say. Li Xuewu couldn't let the canned food brand go. From the moment it left the factory, the trademark on it should be what it should be.

In the relevant agreement notification, Li Xuewu also emphasized that in the process of product operation, Wufengxing cannot tamper with the trademark and product description certificates through any channel.

Ai Jiaqing also frowned and looked at him. She couldn't accept the brand proxy holding opinion Li Xuewu mentioned.

Wufengxing couldn't tolerate the feeling of having its lifeline held in someone else's hands.

"Then put it under the factory brand name."

Ai Jiaqing thought for a while and emphasized: "But the export brand must be handed over to Wufengxing for operation, and channel sales should also be the responsibility of Wufengxing."

"Can do!"

Li Xuewu nodded slightly and said: "But a proxy contract must be signed, one period every five years, and Wufengxing has the priority signing right."

Ai Jiaqing: I......

Selina looked at Li Xuewu and Ai Jiaqing sitting on both sides of the conference table, coming and going, digging holes for each other—it couldn't be more interesting.

This kind of commercial negotiation is actually very noisy and boring, but in her eyes, it was full of fun.

First is Ai Jiaqing. As her former leader, Selina currently understood the other party's strong personality and excellent work ability.

As the person in charge of product business, Ai Jiaqing had rich negotiation experience and business management ability.

In Hong Kong, she was a business tigress, the kind that was very scary when she was majestic.

And today, the tigress had met a real opponent!

A strange young man from Beijing, the young cadre who made her look sideways, fierce and wise.

Sharp in words, rich in negotiation skills, keen in thinking, and an extremely good comprehensive talent in management.

Last time she went back, Ai Jiaqing also admired and praised him when talking about him, saying that such young people were rare even in a place like Beijing where heroes gathered.

And today she happened to be facing this young man she praised, so it was an interesting thing.

From brand agency, to product operation, to channel management and grading, Li Xuewu could be said to be calculating every cent and fighting for every bit.

When the negotiation came to an end, Selina could clearly see Ai Jiaqing secretly breathing a sigh of relief; clearly, this discussion meeting was not easy.

During the break, Li Xuewu invited Lou Yu to go out to smoke and drink tea. During this time, what the two talked about, except for Lou Xiaoe who accompanied them, no one else knew.

And after returning, Li Xuewu and Ai Jiaqing discussed the details of the winery's specific operations.

Just like the cannery, Li Xuewu grasped the details very strictly, deducted the relevant matters very carefully, specifically to the product's operation and directional operation, striving to fight for the due rights and interests for the Steel Rolling Plant.

During the negotiation, Ai Jiaqing was worn out of patience by Li Xuewu, pointed at Li Xuewu and emphasized: "If you talk like this, then I can only go back and organize a professional negotiation team to tame you!"

"Good, good, good, having money is amazing!"

Li Xuewu nodded with a look of being bullied and very aggrieved, and said: "Having money can bully people~"

"I......!"

Ai Jiaqing didn't let out a breath, held it in her mouth and almost bled.

Who the hell is bullying whom!

Li Xuewu, this grandson, was obviously deducting brick seams, for the sake of pre-set mental consumption for Wufengxing's subsequent proposal to the Steel Rolling Plant.

Now both sides exchange opinions and plans. Li Xuewu's construction opinions are naturally the most, and need to be looked at slowly.

And now the operation plan provided by Wufengxing almost exhausted Ai Jiaqing's patience.

Ai Jiaqing: Am I taming an eagle with you here? ===== CHAPTER 879 =====
