Chapter 888: I think you look familiar

~35 min read 6,830 words

"Try some cooled watermelon."

Li Li Xuewu's voice came from the doorway, and everyone looked over. Behind him followed two service personnel carrying watermelon platters.

After a short break, the spokesperson for success studies and the master of manufacturing anxiety was back online!

"I heard it's a local melon, very fresh; the logistics department has been icing it since last night."

Li Li Xuewu had gone out for a turn and come back; there was no seriousness or majesty on his face, but rather he had returned to his initial enthusiasm.

But no one in the room felt he was young and easy to bully anymore, and no one dared to underestimate him.

The watermelon was cut very carefully and even arranged into a dragon-flying-phoenix-dancing shape.

These bumpkins who had never been to a commercial KTV were naturally surprised by this arrangement and cutting method, and felt that today's meeting was full of surprises everywhere.

Sha Sha Qizhi, who followed behind the service personnel and took a thermos to refill everyone's water, was also very surprised.

He had never known the leader had such an ingenious side.

A fruit knife, a slice of watermelon, a few clicks, and he could come up with this shape.

Especially the small pieces of watermelon with toothpicks inserted for easy eating, which reflected the fastidiousness of "not being tired of fine food."

These minor tricks didn't count for anything in Li Li Xuewu's eyes; he had been to many places, seen many things, and was just familiar with them!

Everyone's gaze moved away from the dragon-boat-shaped watermelon, and they all fell silent.

Whether it was the Japanese merchants who had already reached a cooperation and were preparing to raise funds to form a business group for negotiations, the hesitant Lin Lin Lingguang, or Nande who was watching from the sidelines, none wanted to speak first and lose their final judgment.

Not speaking, and not eating watermelon—were they angry?

Li Li Xuewu sat down with a smile and didn't speak, but lit a cigarette on his own and smoked it casually.

The gazes of several foreign businessmen drifted away from Li Li Xuewu, colliding with one another as they secretly vied for position.

Selena looked toward the Japanese businessmen, then fixed her gaze on Lin Lin Lingguang, as he was the person most likely to participate in the investment.

In this room, Lin Lin Lingguang was likely under the most pressure; seeing Li Li Xuewu smoking, he couldn't help but pull out a cigarette and light it himself.

"Let me say a few words."

Quite unexpectedly, the first to speak was Nande, who was in the fresh produce business—a Hong Konger with the face of a Westerner.

"It is an honor to meet Mr. Li today; it has taught me what it means to say there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens."

He raised his hand to gesture toward Li Li Xuewu and smiled at the crowd, but it did not elicit any agreement from the others; they were all watching him cautiously, wondering what exactly he was going to say.

"I also know another Mr. Li."

Nande pursed his lips, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Not in the mainland, and not in Hong Kong, but in Singapore."

When the crowd heard him say this, they instantly understood who he was talking about—the newly independent Lee Kuan Yew of Southeast Asia.

Nande nodded and then continued: "Quite unexpectedly, the Mr. Li I met today and the Mr. Li I knew before are both interested in the electronics industry."

"Especially in terms of their foresight in industrial layout; there are quite a few similarities."

He looked at Li Li Xuewu with great surprise and interest, asking, "You know that Mr. Li, don't you?"

"Of course, I have heard of him."

Li Li Xuewu nodded slightly and said, "In the layout and design of the electronics industry, I have also taken into account the other party's grand development plan."

"However, the overall planning, the production environment possessed by the relevant industrial bases, and the development directions are different."

"That goes without saying!"

Nande raised an eyebrow and said, "Although that Mr. Li also wants to engage in full-category home appliance production, in terms of foundation and development environment, he absolutely cannot compare to the advantages of your factory."

Li Li Xuewu looked at him noncommittally, not knowing what the other party meant by this.

He was naturally very clear about the situation in Singapore; electronics production had become the pillar that changed the national status quo, and even more so, the cornerstone for solving the local national condition of lacking water and resources.

Nande tapped the table with his hand, looked at Lin Lin Lingguang, who was still hesitating, and reminded him: "Singapore has started an electrical and electronics production industry; don't you find it terrifying?"

"If the Bohaiwan adds another super-large electronics industry behemoth, aren't you going to get on board yet? Hong Kong's electronics industry is about to face a tsunami!"

Lin Lin Lingguang's brow twitched at his words; from the frequency with which the cigarette in his hand flickered, it was clear how conflicted he was inside.

"Mr. Nande."

Nishida Kenichi suddenly spoke up: "Please do not be an alarmist. This world is very big; it is impossible for the rise of one enterprise to destroy the industry of an entire city."

"That's right!"

Nakamura Yang Shuji nodded sincerely and said: "Regarding the cooperation with the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant's electronics industry base, we are still aiming for competition with domestic enterprises."

"That's right, that's right!"

The three who had already reached an agreement all spoke up at this moment, vehemently denying the facts Nande had stated.

Especially regarding the part about corporate competition, they firmly refused to admit that this electronics industry base in the Bohaiwan would have any impact on the Southeast Asian electronics market.

This behavior instead aroused Lin Lin Lingguang's vigilance, and an unusual look swept across the scene.

Li Li Xuewu was naturally at ease; he was Jiang Taigong fishing—willing to take the bait.

As for Selena, she looked at him sincerely, with an expression that said, "I don't understand anything, but I am very good at reading people."

Looking at the Japanese businessmen again, except for that woman who looked completely bewildered, the other three devils all had ordinary expressions.

Nande did not look at him anymore, but looked at Li Li Xuewu, shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't believe these ghost stories. Once the Steel City's electronics industry base starts production, that will be the moment the tsunami reaches Southeast Asia."

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, spread his hands, flicked the ash from his cigarette, and said casually: "Our factory's agency rights are limited by region, but not by person."

"In other words!"

Nande turned his head slightly and asked Li Li Xuewu: "I can get agency distribution rights for more than one region, right?"

"Li-san! I am truly sorry!"

Nishida Kenichi suddenly stood up, bowed ninety degrees, first apologized for interrupting Li Li Xuewu's conversation, then looked at Li Li Xuewu sincerely and said: "Please allow me to submit an application for a separate negotiation, I beg you!"

After speaking, he bowed again to express his sincere plea and willingness.

Li Li Xuewu's gaze shifted, moving away from Nande's face, sweeping over Lin Lin Lingguang, and looking at Selena.

"The agency rights for Hong Kong must belong to Oriental Trading!"

Selena said very firmly and seriously: "No matter how much the agency deposit is, my company will take full responsibility for the corresponding machinery procurement and capital preparation requirements!"

"Good."

Li Li Xuewu nodded, then looked at Nishida Kenichi and explained: "I have always been clean and honest in my conduct; since the cooperation with Oriental Trading came first, I must make it clear to your company."

Nishida Kenichi exchanged glances with his two partners, then looked at the well-connected Selena, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Thinking of the other party's status, he did not dare to make any disrespectful moves.

After all, he is a young man; could it be that he likes foreign goods?

Since he likes Western ones, does Li-san like Eastern ones?

Miss Momoya was precisely the person he had selected to solve such public relations problems, but he just didn't know how to create the opportunity.

Now that the agency distribution rights for Hong Kong had already been taken by Oriental Trading, he really couldn't say anything openly.

Could he push Miss Momoya over now and ask Li-san to reject Oriental Trading?

Of course not!

How could such a thing be done in the sunlight!

"That goes without saying!"

Nishida Kenichi did not hesitate for more than three seconds, turned his head to look at Li Li Xuewu, and said sincerely: "The Hong Kong distribution rights are not within our scope of consideration."

"That's good."

Li Li Xuewu smiled slightly and made a move to stand up, as if he had agreed to the other party's request and was about to start a separate meeting.

"Wait a moment, Li Chu."

Nande had always used this title; he was very clear about what Li Li Xuewu's status represented in the mainland.

He stood up, pressed his hands on the table, didn't even look at Lin Lin Lingguang, and said to Li Li Xuewu: "I want the agency distribution rights for all of Southeast Asia!"

"Nani!!"

When Nakamura Yang Shuji heard him say this, he directly expressed his indignation, slammed his fist on the table, and spat at Nande: "You are too rude! We were here first; you have no right to ask for the distribution rights for Southeast Asia!"

"No!"

Nande didn't even look at his anger, but looked at Li Li Xuewu and said seriously: "I am now formally submitting a cooperation application, not a meeting application."

"You!"

Nakamura Yang Shuji pointed at him angrily and said: "You are changing the concept, you are destroying the business environment, this is a violation of business ethics!"

"Business has ethics?"

Nande looked at him with disdain, then gave a contemptuous glance and said: "Wait until I sign the contract, then I will discuss with you what ethics actually is."

"Li-san, look at this..."

Compared to Nakamura Yang Shuji's excitement, Nishida Kenichi calmly pressed his shoulder, looked at Li Li Xuewu, and wanted to ask for his opinion.

Li Li Xuewu sat there, tilted his head slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and reminded: "I will definitely follow the required procedures."

"Mr. Nande."

He first determined the negotiation rules, then looked at the Hong Kong businessman Nande and confirmed: "Do you know how much agency deposit and cooperation requirements we have set for the agency distribution rights in the Southeast Asian region?"

"No matter how much."

Nande looked at Li Li Xuewu very seriously and said: "I reiterate, what I am proposing is a cooperation application, not a negotiation application."

Li Li Xuewu first tilted his head, looked at his expression seriously, then nodded, indicating he understood.

He waved his hand, signaled for Sha Sha Qizhi to come over, and instructed: "Call Deputy Factory Director Jing, make an appointment for the later itinerary, and ask her to come back to sign contracts with Ms. Selena and Mr. Nande."

After saying this, he smiled politely, stood up, shook hands with Nande, and said: "I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"At the same time, I would like to express my apologies; I have things to do tonight and cannot accompany you to sign the contract, so please forgive me."

"Although it is a pity."

Nande held Li Li Xuewu's hand and said sincerely: "But this does not hinder us from becoming partners."

"Come to Beijing, I will host a banquet to welcome you."

"Definitely!"

After Nande finished speaking with Li Li Xuewu, he released his hand confidently and easily, standing there watching Li Li Xuewu invite the several Japanese businessmen out the door.

Lin Lin Lingguang looked at Nande, then looked at Selena, who was smiling and chatting with Nande, feeling inexplicably panicked.

It seemed... it seemed he had lost something.

What had he lost?

He just hadn't reached further cooperation on compensation trade; without cooperation, naturally there was no investment, no loss, so what could he lose?

But watching the devils intervene in the electronics trade with his own eyes, he was inexplicably unwilling.

The other party was just an agricultural and sideline product purchaser, and was only a second-tier agent for Ng Fung Hong; their trade direction didn't even dare to be Hong Kong.

And from the words the other party said, it was not hard to see where his trade direction was.

It was precisely the Southeast Asia he wanted to sign; he was turning from an agricultural and sideline product procurement trader into the electronics trade industry.

Nande had to bear a series of investments such as machinery procurement, process standard procurement, and technical talent introduction after taking on the Southeast Asian agency distribution rights.

These costs were huge for him, let alone for Nande.

It could only be said that the other party's vision was unique; like that Nakamura Yang Shuji, they both had the courage to burn their bridges.

Lin Lin Lingguang had to admit that what that young Li Chu said about the electronics industry becoming the pearl of light industry in the future was visionary.

However, the gamble-style investment the other party made also scared him.

In his impression, investment in the electronics industry should always start as a small workshop and gradually develop into an industry leader.

But the other party wanted to play big right from the start, planting a giant OEM production behemoth in the Bohaiwan.

Not to mention the power and significance represented behind this, just talking about how his investment was guaranteed—he hadn't even looked at all the cooperation terms, and it had already entered the signing stage.

What exactly were they fighting for!

Was it necessary to be so anxious!

Those devils were anxious, Nande was also anxious, and even the female devil was urging herself; what exactly was going on!

Could it be that once the electronics industry base in the Bohaiwan was built, the tsunami of dumping would really come rushing over?!

Lin Lin Lingguang sat there, falling into doubt and self-doubt, not noticing at all that he was the only one left in the conference room.

No, that wasn't it either; there were service personnel waiting for him, waiting to clean up the room.

"These little devils are very shrewd."

Li Li Xuewu stood in the courtyard smoking, looked at the direction the motorcade had left in, and said to Jing Jing Yunong: "When they were in the conference room, they acted as if they were calculating every cent, as if they wanted to monopolize our global agency distribution."

"And the result? Hehe~"

Jing Jing Yunong stood at Li Li Xuewu's side and said amusingly: "Once it came to negotiation, they started haggling over every ounce—this won't work, that's too far, right?"

"Mm-hmm, that's exactly the kind of behavior you're talking about."

Li Li Xuewu nodded amusingly and said: "When they called me out for a separate talk, I had already anticipated that they would pull such a stunt."

"The land area is small, the people are small, and their minds are naturally small."

Li Li Xuewu's words were filled with sarcasm, constantly mocking these little devils.

"Be content~"

Jing Jing Yunong actually hated the smell of smoke the most; she endured it every time she had a meeting.

But at this moment, Li Li Xuewu was standing there smoking away, and there was no blame in her eyes, but rather a trace of heartache.

He had spent the morning talking about Far East Trading with her, the afternoon investigating plastic and rubber vehicle supporting industries with the Beijing Chemical Industry, and then handled such a major project negotiation in the afternoon.

Even if he was young, he couldn't just burn himself out like this!

Looking at the exhaustion on Li Li Xuewu's face, using smoking to relax his nerves, how could she have the heart to blame him.

Reporting work to leaders didn't say you couldn't smoke; he joked with Li Li Huai De privately, let alone smoking.

Li Li Huai De not only had to give him a lighter, but also had to give him good cigarettes to smoke!

Ask around the entire Steel Rolling Plant; who would dare to smoke in Li Li Huai De's office.

It was just Li Li Xuewu!

He didn't just smoke; he claimed he was afraid the leader was craving the smell of smoke and was sending warmth.

Now that Li Li Xuewu was so casual in front of her, it actually made Jing Jing Yunong feel comfortable in her heart.

"Your trick of 'white wolf with empty gloves' is too ruthless; how do you plan to end it?"

Jing Jing Yunong looked at Li Li Xuewu and asked: "Are you really going to set up an electronics industry production base in the Steel City?"

"Mm, I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest either."

Li Li Xuewu tilted his head and said: "This meat delivered to my mouth, I really can't bear to throw it away."

He looked at Jing Jing Yunong and explained: "Anyway, the small commodity base has to be set up, so let's do it together with the electronics industry production base."

"That's not the same concept."

Jing Jing Yunong reminded him: "Whether it's small commodities or hardware, these are all within our factory's production and operation plan."

"But the higher-ups have never approved us to produce products in the electronics industry, let alone policies and approvals for technology and equipment introduction."

"Getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later is naturally good."

Jing Jing Yunong nodded and said: "But you also have to consider the risk of this thing not succeeding; Li Chu definitely doesn't have a hundred percent certainty."

Seeing Li Li Xuewu's gaze look over, Jing Jing Yunong said seriously: "The electronics industry is within the restricted scope; one trade department can't approve it, and the Ministry of Industry won't do it either."

She pointed her finger upward and said: "You're going to have to run around for this."

"Then I'll have to run."

Li Li Xuewu took the last puff of the cigarette in his hand, threw it on the ground, twisted it out with his toe, and said firmly: "This is definitely an opportunity for our factory."

"There are plenty of opportunities."

Jing Jing Yunong said frankly: "You need to think about how to report this to Li Chu; it involves the management authority of several departments, and it's definitely not something he can nod and agree to just because it's beneficial to the Steel Rolling Plant."

"And!"

She pointed at Li Li Xuewu and reminded him: "Don't use those little tricks of the past anymore; this time it's absolutely different, it won't work."

"Look at what you're saying."

Li Li Xuewu exhaled smoke, smiled brilliantly on his young face, and said: "I am the most honest person; where would I have any new tricks~"

"Heh~"

Jing Jing Yunong chuckled, not believing his ghost stories at all.

That night he also said that eating it would make you beautiful and fair; the next morning, her face was indeed white, white as a sheet.

"The Japanese businessmen wanted the agency distribution for Japan, South Korea, and North Korea; Oriental Trading wanted Hong Kong; Nande wanted Southeast Asia."

Jing Jing Yunong counted on her fingers and calculated: "Where are you going to sell next? To whom?"

"Do you think Far East has the willingness to cooperate?"

Li Li Xuewu's brow moved, and he emphasized: "I'm talking about full-category agency, including small commodities and small hardware."

"Not sure."

Jing Jing Yunong replied: "The other party is an old fox; even if they want it, they will test the waters in Macau and will definitely not eat a big one in one bite."

"Hehe~"

Li Li Xuewu chuckled, looked at the river embankment outside the gate, and said nonchalantly: "He's hesitating to test the waters now; later when he wants to eat more, there won't be any left."

"You're that confident?"

Jing Jing Yunong looked at his regretful appearance amusingly and said: "You're pulling tiger skin here; be careful of falling into a ditch and not being able to climb out, and having people come to your door with contracts to curse you."

"I'm not afraid of cursing."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I'm just afraid they won't be able to find me, and won't be able to find which way the Steel Rolling Plant's gate opens."

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to sell the agency distribution rights for other regions."

He winked at Jing Jing Yunong and teased: "How about we make a bet?"

"Who's betting with you~"

Jing Jing Yunong scolded him unhappily, then raised her chin, gestured toward the jeep over there, and said: "Go quickly, come back early to rest."

"Thank you for your concern, leader."

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said politely: "You've worked hard too, rest early."

After speaking, the two waved goodbye; Jing Jing Yunong went to the restaurant to eat, while Li Li Xuewu jumped into the jeep and signaled the driver to drive.

In the back seat, Zhang Zhang Songying pursed her lips, and after the car drove out of the gate, she asked softly: "Do you need to drink?"

"Hm?"

Li Li Xuewu turned his head to look at her and asked: "You can't drink?"

"It's not that..."

Zhang Zhang Songying hesitated and said: "I get drunk very easily."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Li Li Xuewu teased with a smile: "I can't get drunk, it's particularly annoying; no matter how much I drink, I don't get drunk, sigh~ so annoying~"

"..."

The car was extremely quiet for a moment; Sha Sha Qizhi didn't speak, and Zhang Zhang Songying didn't know what to say either.

He was a leader; was she supposed to embarrass him in this narrow space in the car and say he was pretending?

But he really could drink; ever since he came to work at the Steel Rolling Plant, it seemed she had never seen him get drunk.

But if you said that, it would imply he was arrogant and looked down on everyone else.

Except for the driver, everyone in the car was his own people; Sha Sha Qizhi was the secretary, and Zhang Zhang Songying was the capable general.

Neither of them felt Li Li Xuewu was bragging; they just didn't know how to respond.

Sha Sha Qizhi knew very well that Li Li Xuewu's greatest strength wasn't bragging, but that all the things he had bragged about had already been realized.

Hey! You can't compare to this point!

When he first said he wanted to rectify the internal security situation of the Steel Rolling Plant, look now—the internal safety factor of the factory area is the highest, and there is even a security extension outside the factory area.

When he first said he wanted to build cars and achieve financial independence for the Security Division, look now—not only were cars built, but it also became a big deal, establishing a research institute and production lines.

When he first said he wanted to engage in the food industry, shipbuilding industry, small commodity industry, and small hardware industry.

Li Li Xuewu wasn't starting a business; he was turning the things he had bragged about into reality one by one!

So now that he said he couldn't get drunk, Sha Sha Qizhi believed the leader would never get drunk.

Zhang Zhang Songying looked at the man beside her with amusement and admiration; he was both cute and domineering!

"Don't pour anymore, I really can't drink anymore~"

Yu Yu Guotai, the vice president of the Guangxi Fruit Management Corporation, was being helped to the car by his secretary; he heard the Sichuan distribution cadre urinating by the side of the road and thought he was still at the dinner table.

The secretary and driver helped him into the car, laughing and crying, and had to greet the Steel Rolling Plant leaders when they turned back.

"I'm really sorry, our leader drank too much."

"It's okay, we are brother units, don't be polite."

Li Li Xuewu's face was slightly red, but his thinking was still clear; he reached out and patted the secretary's arm, smiling and instructing: "Take good care of President Yu, you've worked hard today."

"Not hard, it's my duty."

The secretary was over thirty, nearly forty; seeing Li Li Xuewu was such a young deputy section-level cadre and could handle things on his own, he felt an indescribable envy.

Especially the demeanor the other party showed at the dinner table; one couldn't see the slightest bit of youthful flightiness or superficiality.

Two-tael cups, one after another, drinking until their manager's eyes were staring wide.

When it came to drinking, the Guangxi people absolutely wouldn't admit defeat, and Manager Liu from Sichuan was even less convinced.

But when they really met this little brother from Beijing, they really couldn't help but be convinced.

He didn't force you to drink, but he just kept pouring it into his mouth cup by cup; you had to get drunk.

Did you think you could bully him because he was young?

The Guangxi cadres couldn't do that, and the Sichuan ones couldn't do that even more.

So Yu Yu Guotai surrendered directly at the dinner table, and Manager Liu from Sichuan went to the bathroom and didn't come back; it was the secretary who came to apologize.

The accompanying cadres from both sides also looked at each other; everyone hadn't drunk as much as the leaders, but it wasn't a small amount either.

It was fine at the beginning; the representative of Hong Kong's Oriental Trading was a female comrade, and a foreigner at that; she was quite good-looking and spoke straightforwardly.

The representative of Beijing's Steel Rolling Plant was Mr. Li, young and domineering, and spoke very well.

The Guangxi Fruit Management Corporation and Sichuan were naturally acquainted and had had many contacts before.

This time, the four representatives sat together as if they were holding a social gathering; everyone talked about their respective business needs in laughter and also enhanced their personal feelings.

Especially after Li Li Xuewu expressed the request for raw material procurement for the food factory and the prospects for relevant trade cooperation, the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation intention on this basis.

At the dinner table, Li Li Xuewu didn't think about talking too deeply, and the others were also clear about this relationship.

So with a few simple words and two rounds of drinks, the business and needs were explained clearly, and the rest was time for personal interaction.

Li Li Xuewu took the initiative to get to know the distribution cadres of the two provinces, the wine glass in his hand kept going to his mouth; he was as honest as could be, as straightforward as could be, and finished all these people off.

Yu Yu Guotai's secretary was especially impressed by the demeanor and methodology of this Deputy Li Chu.

When talking to him, he didn't look down on him just because he was a secretary.

When caring for him, he didn't pat his shoulder, but patted his arm; his attitude was very kind, and there was no leader's air at all.

Including with others, he didn't see him pat anyone's shoulder or have any impolite behavior.

What he admired most wasn't that the other party had a good capacity for liquor and didn't get drunk after a thousand cups, but that the other party drank so much without losing his demeanor or damaging his dignity.

Don't look at how young he is; one could tell from these details that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person, and his future was limitless.

The secretary respectfully said goodbye to Li Li Xuewu, got back in the car, and waved goodbye.

Li Li Xuewu sent off the Guangxi car and went to take care of the Sichuan car; this was even more amusing.

Manager Liu had long been asleep in the car, and several distribution cadres were still talking about the joke of "pouring wine" just now; seeing Li Li Xuewu come over at this moment, they shook hands and said goodbye to him respectively.

Li Li Xuewu didn't mind that the other party had just come from the bathroom; he knew these people were drunk and had forgotten these courtesies.

After sending them off, he looked at Selena again.

Selena's face was a bit pale, and she was being supported by Zhang Zhang Songying.

Seeing him come over, she waved her hand to stop him: "Don't even think about it! I won't shake hands with you!"

"Hahaha~"

Li Li Xuewu chuckled, opened his arms, and gave her a light hug, leaving quickly, as if it were just a polite greeting.

Selena looked at Li Li Xuewu with some dissatisfaction, as if complaining that he had given her too little.

And Zhang Zhang Songying, who was standing by the side supporting her, pursed her lips with jealousy, feeling that Li Li Xuewu had given too much.

It's just having a foreign face; what's so great about that.

When she saw the Japanese female assistant frequently pouring tea for Li Li Xuewu in the afternoon, she felt uncomfortable; it was very obvious that the other party was deliberately flirting.

Now seeing Li Li Xuewu take the initiative to give this foreign girl a hug, and at the hotel entrance, in full view of everyone...

Although it was already late and there was no one on the road, it still wasn't very good!

Wouldn't this easily make the other party misunderstand!

Selena didn't misunderstand; this bad boy had even kissed her, and now he was just dismissing her with a hug?

She was drunk, but not yet intoxicated; she knew Li Li Xuewu had given her what he could give.

"Alright~ I'm going back~"

Selena glanced at Li Li Xuewu amusingly, then got into the sedan, and even boldly blew a flying kiss to Li Li Xuewu when she left.

"Shameless~!"

Zhang Zhang Songying naturally saw the other party's "rude" behavior and cursed softly with a pout.

Li Li Xuewu didn't show any surprise, just laughed it off.

"You like this kind of thing?"

Seeing Li Li Xuewu smile, Zhang Zhang Songying felt jealous, pulled the corners of her mouth, and asked Li Li Xuewu if he liked it, imitating the other party's behavior just now.

Li Li Xuewu just smiled, gestured toward the jeep, and said: "Let's go, back to the station."

"Tell me, do you like it or not?"

Zhang Zhang Songying hadn't drunk much tonight, but at this moment, she seemed really drunk and was pestering him unyieldingly.

Li Li Xuewu was very patient; not afraid of Sha Sha Qizhi and the driver seeing and misunderstanding, he took advantage of the darkness and gave her a pat on the bottom.

"I like this~"

"I hate you~"

Zhang Zhang Songying secretly acted spoiled before reaching the car, and once she got in, she became reserved again.

Although Sha Sha Qizhi saw her talking to the leader, he really didn't see the two's little movements.

The driver didn't see it even more, because the driver didn't look over at all.

Being a secretary is not easy, and being a driver is not easy either; knowing too much is no good for him.

On the way, Li Li Xuewu chatted with Zhang Zhang Songying about the work process of visiting the hotel tomorrow, and also let Sha Sha Qizhi make a plan.

He proposed fully absorbing the excellent decoration design style and equipment layout plan of the hotels in Guangzhou, combining it with Beijing's local characteristics, to create a design plan that highlights the essence of the era and focuses on rendering the excellent style of the Steel Rolling Plant.

Sha Sha Qizhi's pencil was recording rapidly by the faint street light.

Zhang Zhang Songying had some difficulty understanding Li Li Xuewu's requirements; seeing Sha Sha Qizhi recording, she secretly asked Li Li Xuewu softly: "What does this mean?"

"What do you mean what does it mean?"

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Zhang Zhang Songying meant.

"It's your request!"

Zhang Zhang Songying looked at Li Li Xuewu and said seriously: "What is fully absorbing?"

"And how to combine Guangzhou's plan with Beijing's characteristics?"

"How to highlight the essence of the era?"

"And also!"

Zhang Zhang Songying grabbed Li Li Xuewu's arm and asked: "How to render the excellent style of the Steel Rolling Plant?"

"What does this have to do with the hotel's design plan?"

Li Li Xuewu: "..."

"Mm~"

The driver in the front and Sha Sha Qizhi both bit their lips hard to ensure they wouldn't laugh out loud.

Although the driver didn't understand the requirements the leader mentioned, he was sure Secretary Sha understood.

And the fact that Section Chief Zhang in the back seat asked this clearly meant she was showing her ignorance.

The funny point wasn't her ignorance, but that she boldly asked the leader.

Wasn't this asking the leader to explain this "encrypted" language!

Zhang Zhang Songying also realized the state of the two in the front, knowing that the questions she asked were heard by them.

But she just didn't understand, so what if she asked?

Li Li Xuewu didn't know how to explain it; if he didn't explain, she wouldn't understand, and if he explained, she would understand even less.

He patted her hand three times gently, giving her a signal: Come to my room later, I'll clear things up for you!

This action was also hinted by Bodhi Patriarch to Sun Sun Wukong; it's just that he didn't know if Bodhi Patriarch also used a stick to teach like Li Li Xuewu.

It was already very late when they arrived at the station; there were no excessive arrangements, Li Li Xuewu let Sha Sha Qizhi and the driver rest, and he went upstairs himself.

Zhang Zhang Songying first returned to her room, and when the corridor was quiet, she went to find Li Li Xuewu for clarification with the belief of seeking knowledge.

How it was cleared up, she didn't know, and what was cleared up, she wasn't clear about either; anyway, looking at her expression the next day, she was no longer a confused young woman.

Tuesday, the weather was just right... cloudy.

In Guangzhou, a cloudy day is good weather; a big sun is annoying.

Zhang Zhang Songying, wearing a white shirt and a gray knee-length skirt, followed Li Li Xuewu and accompanied Li Li Huai De and others to inspect the Xinhua Hotel.

This had been coordinated long ago; Zhang Zhang Songying led the office staff to make a preliminary visit and selected several hotels with characteristics for preliminary investigation.

Of course, they couldn't wait for the leaders to finish looking before doing element collection; not knowing anything is a big taboo in workplace reception.

Li Li Huai De walked in the front, whispering something to Li Li Xuewu.

A crowd of followers followed behind, looking at the facilities in the hotel while recording and learning under the guidance and introduction of the responsible reception cadres.

In fact, from the moment he got out of the car, Li Li Huai De put forward relevant opinions, which was the small square in front of the gate.

He saw a fountain in front of the hotel on the New Asia side and liked it, wanting to build one at the Six-Nation Hotel.

But the office staff explained to him that this thing was not practical in the north, and the Six-Nation Hotel couldn't fit it either.

Li Li Huai De was naturally dissatisfied, and Li Li Xuewu explained from another angle why this thing couldn't be done.

That is metaphysics!

The Six-Nation Hotel is square, and putting a round "bead" in front of the door wouldn't stand still; it would wobble.

And the main building here on the Xinhua side is arc-shaped, which can hold the bead and stand steady; this is called old clam... old... very interesting~

Li Li Huai De could accept this explanation very well; he didn't like old things; he liked young ones.

Just like after going to the Six-Nation Hotel once, he lost interest in his former white moonlight; those old buildings and decorations all revealed an old-fashioned air.

He naturally didn't admit that he was afraid of this word; he just liked being with young people, so that it would appear vigorous.

The hotels here in Guangzhou have many open characteristics collected from Southeast Asia and other places, and also have historical changes inherited from the 1920s and 1930s, which are very characteristic of the era.

Li Li Xuewu mentioned this point when reporting his design ideas to Li Li Huai De; Guangzhou's characteristics absolutely cannot be accepted in their entirety, as they will suffer from water and soil incompatibility when they arrive in Beijing.

It is necessary to fully learn and understand the characteristics of advanced reception management and combine them with Beijing's local serious environment and solemn atmosphere to make appropriate integration.

Including from the moment they entered the lobby, seeing the equipment and facilities everywhere, those holding cameras behind them were all doing collection work according to the opinions Li Li Xuewu and Li Li Huai De discussed.

Although these had already been collected by Zhang Zhang Songying and the others, all the records today were the leaders' opinions.

Next, Zhang Zhang Songying had to lead the organization of a working group, combine the elements collected earlier with the opinions given by the leaders today, fully consider the overall design goals and requirements, and summarize a software and hardware construction and management plan.

Now Zhang Zhang Songying naturally understood the meaning of these "encrypted" words; it was impossible to learn nothing in one night.

Walking and looking, it wasn't until noon that everyone came out of the East Asia Hotel.

"Director Hu, thank you for your cooperation."

"I should thank you for showing mercy."

From the moment Li Li Xuewu entered the door, Huhu Lixian knew he had really been deceived.

At first, he was just suspicious, but seeing him surrounded by people, his demeanor was not at all like the little brat from before; he understood everything.

He inquired about the other party's background, and upon hearing it was the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant, the name was too familiar.

Among the participating units at the trade fair, they were the ones who could stir up trouble and fight the most.

Thinking of how this kid led people to threaten him and acted like a hoodlum, he was really itching with hatred.

What he hated wasn't that Li Li Xuewu pretended to be a little brat to promote, but that Li Li Xuewu deceived him, and that he fell for the ghost's trick!

During the reception, Li Li Xuewu pretended not to mention this, and he didn't pettily expose him either.

Until they walked out of the gate and were about to leave, this kid still had a bottom line.

Bottom line?

What bottom line?

I don't have that thing at all!

"Where~ where~"

Li Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with him, taking the initiative to invite him: "Although today is the first time we meet, I find you familiar, Director Hu; maybe we've met somewhere before!"

"Is that so~ I feel the same!"

Huhu Lixian was about to start cursing; just now Li Li Xuewu greeted him, and he thought this kid had come to admit his mistake to him.

"Hahahaha~"

Li Li Xuewu didn't feel embarrassed at all, laughed loudly and said: "Since you say so, then we really have fate; in the future! In the future, you must come to Beijing; I will treat you to a banquet then!"

"Then I'll thank you~"

Huhu Lixian released Li Li Xuewu's hand unhappily, not wanting to bother with this slippery guy.

Damn it, he didn't admit his mistake, but arranged a banquet to apologize in Beijing; this arrangement was very... damn!

I have to go to Beijing to see you just so you can express your apologies to me?

If that's the case, is it you who was wrong, or me!

Doesn't this mean I'm going to Beijing to plead guilty to you!

"Hahaha!"

Li Li Xuewu's laughter was very crisp; after being polite to Huhu Lixian, he went to shake hands with others, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Familiar, familiar, I find you familiar too!"
