Chapter 885

"Distinguished guests, representatives, and comrades from the industrial and commercial circles from all over the world"

On the stage of the lobby on the first floor, the director of the trade fair, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, is giving a welcome speech.

"I am here, on behalf of the Yangcheng Export Commodities Trade Fair, the people of Yangcheng, and the Ministry of Trade, to express a warm welcome to your arrival!"

As Director Chen's voice fell, the domestic and foreign guests gathered around the stage actively responded with applause.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became enthusiastic, and the applause passed through the lobby, echoing in everyone's ears.

Li Xuewu applauded in response, turned his head to remind Li Huai De: "Mr. Shi from the Ministry of Trade is also here."

"Hmm, I see him."

Li Huai De nodded, looked at the stage and said: "The anchor stone of this trade fair."

Jing Yunong stood on the other side of Li Huai De, listening to the two discussing this matter without opening her mouth.

Their relationship is very complicated, not as simple as it looks on the surface.

She is also an "old comrade" who has worked for many years, so naturally she is clear about this potential situation.

Especially the current unpredictable situation, which is even more of a development weather vane.

The leadership of the Ministry of Trade coming to sit in town doesn't mean the attitude is positive; it still depends on specific changes.

Of course, she isn't self-righteous, thinking that what Li Huai De and Li Xuewu said were low-level things.

Li Huai De has eyes and ears everywhere, has a very deep background, and has stood firm in this storm.

Opportunities are equal; what he fought for himself is more precious than what others gave, and it is also convincing.

So she is very clear that the above is also very concerned about Li Huai De, and his words naturally represent a certain meaning.

Looking at Li Xuewu is even more unusual. Although this young man is at the "grassroots level," he is also a person good at socializing.

You say his position is low, not yet at that level, but all his arrangements and decisions are closely aligned with policy changes and development.

Take the steel rolling mill as an example. In this series of changes, who is the person who benefited the most?

Of course, you can say it's Li Huai De.

However, the one who is walking more and more steadily is Li Xuewu. His position hasn't changed, but his status has changed.

Before, he was just the person in charge of the security department, and his power was limited to the scope of security business.

Even if he participated in the preparation and construction of some projects, it was just offering advice and suggestions with Li Huai De's support.

But look at after the establishment of the Management Committee, especially after the Management Committee fully took over the business management of the steel rolling mill, hasn't his status risen with the stability of the Management Committee?

Jing Yunong's concern for Li Xuewu is becoming more and more serious, and the reason lies in this point.

It was never Li Xuewu who took the initiative to ask for progress, but the business environment, creating opportunities, manufacturing situations, and pushing him forward.

Does Li Huai De really have no one to use?

If that were really the case, why not directly transfer someone, or actively cooperate with her?

Instead, he followed the changes in the situation step by step and promoted Li Xuewu.

The reason is that he is also in the game, can't break it, and can't bear to let go of this general trend.

Li Xuewu has tied himself to the development trend of the steel rolling mill. If Li Huai De wants to take this path, he must use Li Xuewu.

And because of the age gap, choosing Li Xuewu as a successor to cultivate is precisely Li Huai De's wise choice, but also a helpless move.

After the organizational structure reform of the steel rolling mill, Li Xuewu fully presided over security and organizational supervision work as the deputy leader of the security group, truly becoming Li Huai De's right-hand man and the stable cornerstone of the steel rolling mill.

And he jumped out of the security group as a deputy leader, concurrently serving as the deputy director of the Management Committee Office, successfully touching the rope of business.

This is a big leap, especially since Li Huai De appointed him to concurrently manage multiple projects and serve as the executive deputy director.

First, it shows that Li Xuewu has this ability; second, he has fully gained Li Huai De's trust; finally, it is in line with the situation.

In charge of security and supervision, in charge of special business and project planning, this has already invisibly ranked him in the top few positions in the steel rolling mill.

If she hadn't repaired her relationship with Li Xuewu and gained Li Huai De's support, she wouldn't have been ranked higher than Li Xuewu in the steel rolling mill's ranking sequence by being in charge of the economic management group's business while concurrently managing the production and operation of the third industry and branch factories.

Jing Yunong listened to the speech on stage, but her heart was still thinking about Li Xuewu, thinking about his dominance at work, his humor in socializing, his freedom in life, and...

She hadn't realized that thinking about someone and missing someone in her heart, is this what is called falling in love?

"... This exhibition fair, we have provided new equipment including heavy equipment, new medical instruments, and instrument-type equipment..."

Director Chen mentioned that this exhibition fair launched more than 200 types of instruments, more than 50 types of canned goods, fiber products, and other categories, totaling more than 4,000 new commodities.

This also includes well-known textile products, new machines, medical equipment, and agricultural products in the country.

Although foreign merchants generally reacted that heavy industrial equipment and some new machines are still backward, the number of exhibits is more than any previous time.

Even two-thirds of the machines are newly designed or have been greatly improved.

Li Xuewu also heard Director Chen mention various industrial mother machines and complete sets of large-scale precision machinery, including a highly precise instrument lathe.

This type of lathe can make certain parts reach a polishing degree of 12 degrees, which is considered to be in an absolutely leading position in the country.

Listening to Li Huai De's introduction, this set of machinery is exhibited as the protagonist, and the exhibition unit is the Shanghai Instrument and Meter Factory, all designed and produced independently by the other party, representing the top design and manufacturing level in the country.

But in Li Xuewu's view, this is just for show.

Those who really need this kind of machinery mostly purchase from old industrial countries, unless they value the affordable price of the machinery at the trade fair, otherwise no one dares to take this risk.

When Director Chen actively introduced the cutting tools made of hard alloy steel, which can fully meet the needs of diamond cutting and can be used to process highly precise mechanical parts, while the cost is one-thousandth of imported machinery, a burst of enthusiastic applause sounded at the scene again.

Li Xuewu also applauded, with a proud smile on his face, but sighed in his heart that industrial development cannot tolerate backwardness.

Backwardness not only means being beaten, but also being deceived and bullied.

Something worth 10,000 yuan is sold to you for 10 million, and you have to buy it because you can't build it yourself!

Isn't this bullying people!

That's right, industrial trade is actually unequal bullying.

Your production process is excellent, the cost is one yuan, my production process is even more excellent, the cost is reduced to one dime, then I can blow you up!

Director Chen tirelessly talked about these achievements, isn't it also feeling proud and self-confident about every progress of the motherland's industry?

"After five consecutive years of good harvests in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production, and fishery, this year is another bumper harvest."

Li Huai De whispered to Li Xuewu: "The output of oil crops such as soybeans, peanuts, and rapeseed has grown significantly."

"The output of jute, hemp, and other fiber crops, as well as silk cocoons, sugarcane, sugar beets, and tobacco, has also grown substantially."

"Especially cotton!"

He emphasized: "Cotton has had a bumper harvest again this year!"

Li Xuewu also saw this set of data, especially the investigation report on the growth of the past few years sent back by the border office, which showed that cotton production has continued to grow substantially for four consecutive years.

There are factors of local coordination and encouragement of planting, as well as other influences, but considering it at the trade fair, it is indeed an achievement.

Especially in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, the newspapers have already written that 8 million mu of cotton are growing well, which is bound to be another bumper harvest year.

Because the year is good, the crops are also good, and the bumper harvest of agricultural products has brought a rich material basis for this trade fair.

However, Li Xuewu, who knows the details of the local area, is very clear about what this prosperity represents.

Not looking at other regions, just in the Red Star Village, one can see the article behind the high yield.

If we talk about who is not easy, it belongs to the common people, it is really difficult.

The leaders on stage are still speaking, Li Huai De took Jing Yunong and Li Xuewu to find a seat on the edge to listen while talking.

Jing Yunong looked at the data on grain, oil, and food exports that Li Xuewu got, and her brows were furrowed.

According to the data, the export company organized and coordinated the exhibition of more than 1,000 of the 3,000 different commodities they mastered.

She is more concerned about food exports, because the steel rolling mill will rely on the procurement and unique transportation capabilities of offices in various places to carry out food processing trade.

This part of the business is within the scope of the third industry, including the food processing plant, cannery, and winery independently separated from the third industry.

As the main leader, she must do her homework, and even took the initiative to ask Li Xuewu to coordinate and go to the food department exhibition area together tomorrow.

"Know yourself and know your enemy."

Jing Yunong crossed her legs, organized the materials in her hand, and suggested to the two: "It's still better to see the status quo of the industry with your own eyes, so you can have a count in your heart."

"Hmm, this should be done."

Li Huai De heard Li Xuewu say that the food industry has low costs and high profits, which is the first choice for enterprise development of light industry, and also the industry with the fastest cash return.

Jing Yunong working hard on this is also what he hopes to see.

So Jing Yunong opened her mouth, and Li Huai De pointed at Li Xuewu to cooperate with her work and come up with an implementation plan as soon as possible.

"China Resources intends to establish food industrial bases in Hong Kong East, Fujian, Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, and Dalian."

Li Huai De sipped his wine and said to the two: "Ng Fung Hong's layout in Beijing should be a supplement to this plan, and also a kind of competition."

"All are coastal~"

Li Xuewu drew a rough map in his heart, thought about it, and asked Li Huai De: "Was there any mention of specific plans in Tianjin and Dalian?"

"No way~"

Li Huai De knew what Li Xuewu wanted to do, shook his head bitterly and said: "China Resources does things differently from Ng Fung Hong. That is a truly big move, and they will absolutely not allow others to get involved."

"Hmm, indeed."

Li Xuewu nodded, but still insisted: "Not accepting cooperation is fine, if we can participate in a node of the supply chain, it's also good."

"Other units might have a chance, but China Resources..."

Li Huai De denied it again: "I probed the other party's attitude, it wasn't very ideal. There should be support from above to do a closed supply chain."

"Then that is truly a pity."

Li Xuewu pouted, frowned and said: "This kind of full-process independent production is a very uneconomical behavior, why do they want to do this?"

"Could it be...?"

"Hmm, pretty much."

Li Huai De was obviously also the cunning type. Although he knew this news, he really didn't want to get involved.

"If these food industrial bases are built, then meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and livestock products will inevitably form a trade vortex."

"We must be prepared and planned~"

He was reminding Li Xuewu, and also reminding Jing Yunong, that industries where it is easy to make money are also easily infiltrated, and what matters is technology and channels.

Li Xuewu didn't really intend to rely on canned goods and wine to support the industrial reform and development of the steel rolling mill, but the news Li Huai De heard might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Whether it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree depends on whether the big tree is willing to let you be under it.

Why does Li Xuewu pay attention to Tianjin and Dalian? Because these two places plus Qingdao have surrounded the Bohai Bay.

Dalian radiates the Northeast, Tianjin radiates North China, and Qingdao radiates south of Shandong Province. A truly big move.

Looking from the outside, it's called a trade vortex; looking from the inside, it's trade suction.

You might see the dilemma of tight raw materials, but you haven't thought about the competitive pressure of product operation.

Processing plant vs. food industrial base, which one is more powerful?

Jing Yunong is also a bit worried now, looking at Li Xuewu, habitually thinking that this bad boy can turn the tide and save the crumbling building.

The project hasn't started yet, and it's becoming a sunset industry. Are you afraid?

The answer is no. Li Xuewu really didn't think that China Resources' food industrial base would eat up all the raw materials, and even less believed they could eat up the market.

If we talk about channels, with Ng Fung Hong and Oriental Trade, the outside market is still vast.

What's more, China Resources might not even look at the domestic consumer market.

This matter is not urgent, Li Xuewu plans to go back and study it.

And while the three were discussing, the speech on stage also came to an end.

The reception was gradually coming to an end, and everyone found their own positions for final socializing.

The three from the steel rolling mill had eaten and drunk their fill. At this moment, they weren't busy socializing, but instead watched the performance on stage with great interest.

The program was the ballet "The White-Haired Girl" performed by the Shanghai Dance School.

Li Xuewu looked at the atmosphere at the scene and kept praising in his heart that the organizers were truly thoughtful.

"Is the scene fun?"

Li Xue followed Li Xuewu upstairs. After taking care of Deputy Director Jing to rest, she came to find her second brother to ask about the situation.

Li Xuewu looked back at her and asked: "Didn't you see it? Wasn't there a reception on your side?"

"Nothing at all~"

Li Xue complained: "They just provided a meal, and then we sat there waiting foolishly, listening to the music and noise from the next hall, very boring."

"Actually, this side of the lobby is also very boring."

Li Xuewu opened the door, let Li Xue go in first, and then went to the restroom to wash his face.

Li Xue glanced at the room, seeing that someone had come to clean it up, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"Nothing more than drinking, socializing, discussing, and negotiating."

Li Xuewu came out of the restroom and explained: "The music and programs you heard, we had no heart to watch."

"Nothing else?"

Li Xue asked curiously: "So many people, just playing by greeting each other?"

"Hmm, pretty much, what did you think?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I spent the whole night busy greeting people and busy negotiating business."

"Deputy Director Jing seems to have been drinking~"

Li Xue's eyes were bright, looking at her second brother cunningly and saying: "I don't quite believe your words, who drinks like that when negotiating business~"

"Everyone drinks like that."

Li Xuewu didn't mind wasting words with his sister, while tidying up the materials on the desk, he said: "Otherwise? Did you think we were living a life of debauchery, singing and dancing?"

"Anyway, it's not quite right~"

Li Xue walked to Li Xuewu's side and sniffed, curled her lips and said: "There's a scent~ a woman's scent!"

"Are you a puppy!"

Li Xuewu looked at his sister amusingly and said: "No need to supervise me like this, I guarantee, nothing happened tonight, just a very serious social interaction."

Seeing Li Xue's disbelieving look, Li Xuewu emphasized: "When I came back, I sat in the back with Deputy Director Jing, it must be her scent."

"That's not it!"

Li Xue pouted unconvinced and said: "This is perfume! Do you think I'm a child! Deputy Director Jing has never used perfume."

"Then I don't know, anyway I didn't do anything bad."

Li Xuewu said very calmly: "Your second brother is famous for being clean and honest, doing things clearly, the most serious person, the kind who wouldn't eat even if the meat was delivered to his mouth!"

After saying this, he pointed at Li Xue and said: "Didn't you see it with your own eyes!"

"Hmph~"

Li Xue pouted her nose, full of disbelief: "That was because I bumped into it. If I hadn't come that day, would she have succeeded!"

"Who~ who~"

Li Xuewu laughed: "Don't talk nonsense, we are all colleagues, talking about work."

"Knock knock~"

Just as he finished speaking, a knock came from the door.

Li Xue widened her eyes, pointed her little finger at her second brother, with an expression of "as expected."

She threatened Li Xuewu to stand still and not move, she wanted to see with her own eyes who the bad woman who came tonight was!

Li Xue rubbed her face, put on a serious expression, and then opened the door.

She just wanted to give the other party a warning, but when she saw the person standing at the door, all her words were swallowed back.

"Lea... Leader, why are you..."

"Oh... oh~"

Jing Yunong was also stunned when she saw Li Xue standing in the door, but soon changed her expression and smiled: "You really are here, I was just looking for you."

"Ah?"

"Sorry, Leader."

Li Xue didn't expect that she had just helped the other party rest, and she was already awake.

She apologized with a flushed face, wanting to explain that she came to find her second brother...

Hmm??? Wait!

Things don't seem right!

Don't apologize yet!

Li Xue's eyes were fixed on the bottle of red wine the other party was holding.

Is this for her?

She really wanted to believe this was all true, but the reality before her gave her a slap in the face!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing no movement at the door, Li Xuewu walked over to see the reason.

"Why are you blocking the door?"

Li Xue looked up blankly, looked at her second brother in disbelief, and then at the wine in Deputy Director Jing's hand.

"Deputy Director Jing, not asleep yet?"

Li Xuewu passed his sister and also saw Jing Yunong standing outside the door, and the red wine she was clutching but wanted to make disappear immediately.

Jing Yunong smiled awkwardly and said: "Sorry, I wanted to drink, but couldn't open it."

Saying this, she looked at the stunned Li Xue and said: "I originally wanted to ask Xue to help, but couldn't find her."

"I thought she might be here, so I came directly to ask for help."

"Ah! So that's it!"

Li Xue finally recovered after hearing her explanation. This reason was too sufficient, making her suddenly enlightened, and even a bit ashamed.

She really was, recently she had been made suspicious by those little foxes, just now she didn't know what she was thinking, almost wronging the leader.

"Sorry, Leader, I didn't know you..."

"It's okay."

Jing Yunong smiled, shook the wine in her hand and said: "Brought it from the banquet, it's super fragrant, didn't want to let it pass the night."

"Hee hee~"

Li Xue didn't expect that the leader had such a childlike side, and smiled with pursed lips.

Li Xuewu knew that someone as proud as Jing Yunong would never take wine at a banquet.

Not to mention whether she had the convenience, her pride wouldn't allow her to do such a thing.

But since she was here, he had no intention of exposing the other party's lie, opened the door and made a gesture of invitation, saying: "Come in, I'm the best at opening red wine."

"If it's inconvenient, forget it, it seems an opener is needed."

Jing Yunong now wished she could disappear on the spot and go straight back to her room. She also didn't expect Li Xue to be here.

Especially the other party's hesitation just now, and the relief after her explanation, made her feel a sense of inexplicable shame.

"It's okay, my second brother has nothing to do."

Li Xue was energetic now, took the red wine from Jing Yunong, and smiled as she made way: "My second brother will have a way."

What's this!

Didn't second brother just say it, on a business trip together, all colleagues, it's inevitable to talk about work.

To express her apology for her suspicion and wild guesses just now, Li Xue was very active, holding the red wine and entering the room first.

Li Xuewu stood by the door, looked at Jing Yunong who was still hesitating, smiled apologetically and said: "Sorry, my sister caused you trouble~"

"..."

Jing Yunong looked at his expression and wished she could grab him. Since things had reached this point, what else could she do.

She couldn't just stand at the door all the time, what would people think if they saw it.

So, under Li Xuewu's invitation, Jing Yunong stepped into the room.

She really wanted to sleep, she had even changed into pajamas, but she couldn't sleep no matter what while lying on the bed.

Don't know if it was because of the heat, or because her heart was hot, she just wanted to drink.

Wanted to drink red wine.

Just right, the red wine she bought while visiting the exhibition yesterday was still there, so she got up and wanted to get drunk.

But she had found the opener, only to find that she lacked someone to drink with.

Naturally, she couldn't call Li Xue, she was so young, how could she taste the deep meaning of wine.

Therefore, she also came to find Li Xuewu with the wine tonight.

Never expected that Li Xue, who came out from her place, would come to Li Xuewu's side.

She didn't see Li Xue being that close to her second brother along the way, how could it be just this little while?!

"Leader, please sit."

Li Xue prepared the chair and invited Jing Yunong, who had entered the door, to sit down.

Jing Yunong hugged her arms, smiled, and said to Li Xuewu: "Don't be too troubled."

"It's okay."

Li Xuewu nodded confidently, went to the corner of the wall to find a sample of the household tool kit.

A pair of pliers, a screwdriver.

Jing Yunong was slightly stunned, waved her hand to stop him and said: "Forcing it isn't appropriate, if that cork breaks, the wine won't be drinkable."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

Li Xuewu comforted her, first took the screwdriver, found a screw of the right size on the bed and unscrewed it, and under the confused gazes of Jing Yunong and Li Xue, screwed it into the cork.

"This..."

Both of them were dumbfounded. They also never expected that red wine could be opened like this.

Waiters in restaurants all elegantly use openers, or burn the bottle mouth, but Li Xuewu played the industrial style.

The pliers grabbed the screw, pressed it on the table and used force, "pop," and the red wine cork came down.

"This... this is truly... truly an eye-opener!"

Jing Yunong looked at Li Xuewu putting the bottle stopper back on, and praised with emotion: "You are truly smart."

Li Xue stood on the side and nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of pride, as if she were the one who opened the bottle.

Li Xuewu looked at the two looking at him with admiration, and felt a bit embarrassed.

"Small trick, just changing the way of thinking."

"You say that, it makes us look stupid~"

Jing Yunong smiled, took the red wine, scolded him, and asked: "Are there cups? Do you want some?"

"Tea cups, I guess."

Li Xuewu nodded, didn't refuse her intention, and turned to get the cups.

"I'll do it, I'll do it."

Li Xue tucked her hair behind her ear, scrambled to help her second brother, as if the leader had come to her home.

Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and put the screw they had unscrewed back onto the bed.

A screw might not make the active bed fall apart, but it might make a sound, which wouldn't be good.

Jing Yunong filled the tea cup with red wine, pushed one to Li Xuewu, and said thank you for the hard work.

The other cup was pushed in front of Li Xue under her surprised gaze.

"Working now, you're not a child anymore, you can learn to drink."

"Yes."

Li Xue looked at the full tea cup of red wine, really not knowing how to refuse.

Especially the leader's sentence that she wasn't a child anymore, which was an affirmation of her work and character, so she also wanted to prove herself with this cup of wine.

Li Xuewu pushed the tea cup back, took the red wine bottle from Jing Yunong's hand and said: "How can I let a lady drink straight from the bottle, let me do it."

"I fully respect your male chauvinism."

Jing Yunong smiled, picked up the tea cup and clinked it with Li Xuewu and Li Xue.

"Then let's talk about our hearts under the bright moon of late autumn."

"Clang~"

This wasn't a glass red wine cup, so naturally it wouldn't make a crisp "ding" sound, but the dull sound of ceramic didn't affect the mood of the three.

When Li Xue woke up from her second brother's room in the morning, she only remembered that Deputy Director Jing came over last night, and the three of them even drank wine together.

They didn't drink much wine, but they talked a lot.

Second brother and Deputy Director Jing seemed to talk about a lot, a lot of topics she couldn't understand.

And the two didn't leave her out, saying a lot of things about her, seemed to be about work, life, and what else.

Li Xue frowned, really couldn't remember.

A tea cup of red wine directly made Li Xue black out.

She didn't remember what happened later, why she woke up on her second brother's bed.

She is here, then... second brother?

"Of course I slept with you."

Li Xuewu held a morning meeting for the exhibition team. Today he had to accompany Deputy Director Jing to see the food booth, so he needed to give instructions on the exhibition side.

Gou Zirong will be fully responsible for the subsequent business negotiations and exhibition work.

The main orders and procurement are concentrated in the first week of the trade fair, those are the big clients.

And those who come to see the exhibits or talk about contracts in the second week are either picking up scraps, meaning the money for this procurement hasn't been spent, so they want to buy more, can't come for nothing.

Or the orders are relatively small, the first week is all about big orders, they are embarrassed to squeeze in front, so they choose to come in the second week, and both sides are comfortable.

The last kind is just strolling around, these merchants are relatively casual.

It's possible they just arrived in the mainland, it doesn't matter if they didn't participate in the first week's exhibition, and not all exhibition booths are like the steel rolling mill, having a first-order discount policy.

Gou Zirong is a professional cadre in charge of sales. This is his first time in contact with exhibitions, but he is an expert in management.

Learning for a week, he learned how Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong managed the exhibition team.

If he can't innovate, can't he still stick to the old ways?

In the second week, Li Xuewu will accompany Jing Yunong and Li Huai De to visit different units, meet different clients, and do many business negotiations.

So none of the three have time to manage the trade fair anymore, so it must be borne by him.

Li Xuewu presided over the morning meeting this morning, everyone organized their materials and moods, and they were ready to set off as soon as they got in the car.

Li Xue, who came out after eating breakfast in the restaurant, saw her second brother here and chased after him.

Her first question was where did you sleep last night?

Li Xuewu's answer was also very crisp, and the smile on his face didn't look fake.

Li Xue frowned suspiciously and asked: "Are you saying that we slept on the same bed last night?"

"Hmm? What's so strange about this?"

Li Xuewu deliberately teased her: "When we were young, we even slept under the same quilt."

"That was..."

Li Xue wanted to say that was when they were young, but there were people passing by from time to time, so she was embarrassed to shout it out, and could only bite her lip and sulk.

But thinking about it again, it didn't seem right. Even if she was drunk and couldn't remember, she could still be sure of her second brother's character.

Since returning from the south, although second brother still played with her, he never moved his hands or feet on her, and was very careful about distance.

He usually even endured not ruffling her hair or pinching her face, so how could he sleep on the same bed as her.

No! There's a problem!

"You're lying!"

Li Xue chased after Li Xuewu and emphasized in a low voice: "I slept alone last night, where did you go?!"

"Hey~ you still have the nerve to say that~"

Li Xuewu looked at his sister and smiled: "I advised you, if you can't drink, don't drink, red wine has a strong aftertaste, but you wouldn't listen!"

"I didn't ask about this."

Li Xue wasn't easy to fool. She now had that bad idea from seeing Deputy Director Jing at the door last night, and was eager to prove it wasn't true.

"You weren't in the room last night, where did you go?!"

"Where else could I go?"

Li Xuewu pointed at the small hand that grabbed his arm and said: "Watch your influence~ in public, the brother-sister relationship cannot affect work."

Looking at Li Xue's unconvinced expression, Li Xuewu laughed: "I slept on the floor, didn't you see I asked for another quilt!"

"Really?"

Li Xue looked at her second brother in disbelief. She didn't notice this when she came out, she was just anxious.

"Believe it or not~"

Li Xuewu didn't tangle with her anymore, signaled the jeep waiting for him and said: "The leader is waiting, I'm leaving first."

"Hey!"

Li Xue chased after him again and said to her second brother: "Didn't I say I would accompany you!"

"Drank so much last night, rest well."

Jing Yunong's voice came from the car window, and Li Xue also met her eyes.

"Leader, I... I have no problem."

"Rest for the morning, accompany me to talk about Dalian Shipbuilding in the afternoon."

Jing Yunong returned to her usual leadership image, no longer the talkative little aunt from last night~

Li Xue could naturally feel the strength in the other party's words, just as serious and earnest as when she was at the steel rolling mill.

Seeing her second brother get into the back seat and his secretary, Director Sha, get into the front passenger seat, she had to agree and watch the jeep leave.

As for whether her second brother really slept in the room last night, she had no mood to investigate.

Looking at Deputy Director Jing's expression, it didn't seem to be the case.

Besides, she is a leader, why would she... with second brother, last night must have been a misunderstanding.

Hmm, it must be. The leader just couldn't open the bottle, and couldn't find her to drink with her, so she chased to second brother's side.

Li Xue stood in the courtyard, thought about it, and told herself: It must be!

She is young, and the things she thinks about are relatively simple. Once a matter passes, she doesn't tangle anymore, rouses her spirit again, and prepares for the negotiation materials in the afternoon.

Jing Yunong in the car was a bit uncomfortable. Listening to Sha Qizhi in the passenger seat reporting the visit itinerary, she rubbed her knees secretly, they were a bit painful.

Li Xuewu seemed to notice her movements, his gaze swept over, revealing a concerned expression.

Jing Yunong glared at him, warning him not to mess around, she is a leader!

Li Xuewu's eyes were full of smiles, followed her meaning, moved his gaze away, and asked Sha Qizhi: "After seeing the food department, is there any rest time arranged?"

"This..."

Sha Qizhi looked at Li Xuewu with difficulty, not knowing how to answer.

The trade fair starts at nine, looking at so many exhibition booths, and there is a meeting in the morning, how can there be rest time?

"No need to trouble."

Jing Yunong opened her mouth on the side: "After visiting the food department, we will go directly to see Mr. Li from Yuanda."

"Yes."

Sha Qizhi looked at Li Xuewu, agreed, and marked the leader's request in his notebook.

Today, asking Sha Qizhi to do service work was requested by Jing Yunong, the reason being that he is relatively steady.

Li Xue's secretarial work is okay now, but she is still lacking in external expansion and socializing, and needs to be tempered, so she wasn't called for this occasion.

And Sha Qizhi did a really good job, arranging the visit and negotiation itinerary in an orderly manner.

The hall opens at nine, they naturally don't have to wait until nine to enter, they can look first.

It's not for procurement, mainly to understand the current status of the industry.

After the visit, Jing Yunong has a meeting arrangement, called Li Xuewu together, the appointment is with the General Manager of Hong Kong Yuanda Trading Company, talking about food business.

Li Xuewu actually wanted to make an appointment with the business person in charge of the fruit sales general company in Guangxi and Sichuan, but Jing Yunong said, he has to listen to her.

Can't make an appointment in the morning, Sha Qizhi made an appointment for Li Xuewu in the evening, and set a Hunan restaurant.

Why not in the afternoon, because in the afternoon he still has to accompany Bai Changmin from the chemical plant to visit the chemical plant.

Both sides have cooperation in this regard, the third industry enterprise wants to establish a chemical workshop to produce paint, plastic, foam, sponge, artificial rubber, and other projects.

After coming back, he has to go see Selena to talk about the electronics factory OEM business.

Li Xuewu is quite concerned about the electronics OEM project, talked to Selena several times, and the other party is also looking for relevant cooperation projects.

Oriental Trade is just a middleman, sales channels have to be operated as the land project starts and commercial expansion layout follows.

Now it's just an agency wholesaler, whether it's export or import, Selena has to find business partners now.

Although she holds a lot of resources in her hand, she has to be given time to choose suitable objects.

Jing Yunong listened to Sha Qizhi reporting the day's itinerary to Li Xuewu, and also looked sideways: "You're busy enough, why is the itinerary arranged so full?"

"Because time is tight."

Li Xuewu looked at her and said helplessly: "Director Li said this morning that we two have to go back on Monday."

"That's too rushed."

Jing Yunong frowned and thought, and asked: "Aren't you still going to Yuezhou? Will you make it in time?"

"Whether I make it or not, I have to go."

Li Xuewu said: "We haven't been to see the office there even once from project establishment to completion, I really don't feel at ease."

"Hmm."

Jing Yunong nodded, still very appreciative of Li Xuewu's seriousness and responsibility.

"If there are any itineraries you can't make, say hello in advance, I'll help you talk."

"Thank you, I was just waiting for this sentence from you."

Li Xuewu smiled and said to Sha Qizhi: "Look, our leader is still considerate of people, you hurry and flip through, share some more with Deputy Director Jing."

"Don't push your luck."

Jing Yunong smiled, and said: "I have a lot of things on my side too, helping out in an emergency is fine, but I can't be too busy."

"Helping out in an emergency is already very good."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I am a person who is easily satisfied, as long as work is subtracted, it's always better than nothing."

"Hehe~"

Jing Yunong chuckled and didn't say anything more.

Sha Qizhi sat in the front listening, but didn't dare to really open the notebook. The leader is joking, if you don't even have this bit of insight, how can you be a secretary.

Never heard of grabbing power into one's own hands, never heard of giving it away.

Li Xuewu's itinerary and projects were all planned long ago, where would there be extra, wasn't it just the leader joking.

If Li Xuewu really wanted to hand over a job, he would point it out specifically, how could he let him make the decision.

Besides, whether Deputy Director Jing is sincere or not is not certain.

Words are just words, you just listen to them, caring for subordinates doesn't mean playing for real.
