Chapter 906: Do you believe him?

"Leader, Director Sha asked me to remind you to go to the mountain to inspect the work."

Peng Xiaoli held the notebook in his hand and turned to Li Xuewu: "He said your schedule is getting busier as it goes on, so try to go early."

"Put it back for now."

Li Xuewu also wanted to go to the mountain to see, but he really didn't have time.

A round trip takes at least most of the day. There are several batches of foreign businessmen coming this month, and the Marine Products General Company from Jinmen is also coming. He can't move away.

He told his family that there would be no business trips in the near future, but the Jinmen Trade Management Center is officially operating, and he will have more business trips in the future.

Li Huai De is holding him very tightly now. Basically, as long as there is a business-type outing task, he will take him to advise.

Li Xuewu used to be able to go deep into the grassroots to grasp work and check work progress frequently.

But now there is too much work accumulated. Many times, he can only entrust Xiao Zihong to go down to check.

Li Xuewu knows very well that this situation is okay for a short time, but it is not a long-term solution.

If leading cadres are disconnected from the grassroots, basically they will cut off the support below and have no way up.

Relying only on sitting in the office to listen to reports and give instructions, the awe of the cadres below for you will decrease, and the opinions of the leaders above on you will increase.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. This is a truth.

You haven't seen the actual situation below, and when you give instructions, you are also biased.

Even sometimes it is off-track and violates the laws of facts.

Do you think the cadres below have the courage to refute you, and do you think you will listen to them by then?

So mistakes are made from the very beginning, and they are the simplest, easiest to be ignored laziness.

"You arrange it, ask Group Leader Zihong to lead the team, and coordinate personnel from other departments to accompany."

Li Xuewu thought for a while, then looked at Peng Xiaoli and explained: "You also follow, and do a good job of investigation and conversation."

He can't go down to see it himself, and he is afraid of being blinded, so he can only increase his eyes and ears.

If more people go, naturally no one will dare to tell lies.

Asking Peng Xiaoli to follow is also meant to let him appear, after all, he will represent him to do work in the future.

Originally, his secretary debut should be to follow him to the grassroots to turn around, but now the conditions do not allow it, so he can only come step by step.

In the past few days, Sha Qizhi will help Peng Xiaoli transfer his personnel relationship to the Comprehensive Office.

After four or five months, Sha Qizhi will leave the Comprehensive Office, and Peng Xiaoli will basically be able to connect to the position of deputy director-level member.

He is young, and the time with Li Xuewu may be long, so he must go to the position of deputy section chief of the Comprehensive Office in the future.

Why was Peng Xiaoli excited and excited when he went home the night before last and told his parents?

As long as you walk on this road, basically the front is a smooth road.

At least it is very bright to the position of deputy section level, and you don't need to continue to boil your qualifications in the office.

The key is that deputy director-level member and deputy section chief are not the same thing, so his parents of course want to be happy.

After having a leading position, Peng Xiaoli can be like Sha Qizhi, specifically responsible for a project, or go out to serve as a real power position.

Hearing Li Xuewu's arrangement, he instantly understood the leader's meaning.

Of course, at this time, you can't say anything like thank you or gratitude.

Work is work, even if there is any relationship in the work, it is also a work relationship.

Peng Xiaoli officially began his secretary career with various ideas and longing for the bright road ahead.

November 3rd, Monday.

The news broadcasted that the sixth national progressive teachers and students were received above. The scene was enthusiastic, full of hope, and realized the national progressive...

Li Xuewu sat in Li Huai De's office smoking, watching old Li sitting in the office chair frowning, and the two didn't speak for a long time.

When the real-time news came to an end, Li Haiyang came in quietly and turned off the radio. Li Huai De then opened his mouth: "Eating is going to be a problem~"

"I heard it is like this."

Li Xuewu pinched out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, sprayed the last smoke from his mouth, and said: "The meal fee slips reported at the beginning were solved by the city, but now they have sunk into the sea."

"Have you asked?"

Li Huai De tapped the table with a pencil and said: "According to the regulations, these consumptions should be issued to the location of the participants and reimbursed by them."

"The logistics side asked, it's useless."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly: "The city contacted, and the other party also replied that the consumption was too large and they couldn't afford it."

"What's the matter~"

Old Li threw the pencil in his hand and said angrily: "Provide them with accommodation, and still have to eat free food?"

After speaking, he hugged his arms, curled his lips and said: "These are all half-grown children, eating and drinking, how much grain can they eat?"

"The key is that it can't be cut off now."

Li Xuewu was also worried and said: "All reception units and departments must provide food and accommodation, and no shortage or disconnection is allowed."

As he spoke, he leaned forward and reminded: "It's winter, and the green is not connected to the yellow. I'm afraid something will happen."

"I'm thinking about this too."

Li Huai De leaned his arms on the table, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "I regret it a bit. It's not worth the loss to do this~"

As he spoke, he really hammered his hands with a bitter expression and said: "We do reception, not to mention bringing any honor, and Zhang Guoqi made such a move. If it weren't for our proper disposal, we would be neither inside nor outside~"

"It's also unexpected that so many people will pour into Beijing."

Li Xuewu shook his head and said: "At least I didn't think that the reception station would be squeezed."

"Well, the latest data."

Li Huai De took the newspaper beside him, put it on the table and tapped it, saying: "At least ten thousand people enter the city every day, and many reception stations can't take care of it."

"Then what to do?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly, looked at old Li and asked: "Grain disconnection?"

"Heh~ I thought about it~"

Li Huai De picked up a document handed over by finance, looked at it again and again, deliberated again and again, and finally signed it.

"Ten thousand yuan, at most ten thousand yuan. After eating this money, we will close the door and thank the guests."

He threw the pen in his hand and leaned back on the chair, looking like his heart was aching.

"Anyway, things have been done, money has been spent. Since they rely on not giving, and people rely on not leaving, we have no way, don't think about asking for it."

"I have one requirement!"

Li Huai De raised a finger and said: "After eating, leave quickly, don't delay the hotel's renovation project!"

Li Xuewu was also worried and scratched his head. Dealing with these little cubs is not the same thing as dealing with the original residents.

Especially in this fiery situation, any slightly out-of-bounds move is like a drop of water falling into an oil pan.

His worry was soon fulfilled.

On November 5th, Monday, the fifth annual negotiation meeting of the China-Japan comprehensive trade organized by the economic and trade department began in Beijing.

Before and after this meeting, the financial delegation led by Kawai, general manager of Komatsu Manufacturing, will visit the mainland and exchange opinions with relevant department leaders, centering on the issue of future China-Japan economic exchanges.

With the group, there were Nishida Kenichi and others whom Li Xuewu met in Yangcheng.

Received the reception news from the foreign affairs department on the 5th, Sha Qizhi led the foreign affairs office and began the first foreign reception work.

The functions of this type of office are not fixed. Under the leadership of the Management Committee Office, they coordinate all departments of the Steel Rolling Factory to carry out work.

The authority is attached to the task. During the task period, they have very high authority and are completely serving the task goal.

The news from the foreign affairs department is that several foreign businessmen led by Nishida Kenichi will conduct talks on in-depth cooperation after Yangcheng, including machinery procurement matters for the Steel Rolling Factory investment project.

The negotiation time may be one or two days, so the foreign affairs office is also facing a big enemy and walking on thin ice.

The news from the foreign affairs department is not positive, and accidents may occur.

This all stems from the fact that there are too many progressive teachers and students from outside the city gathered in Beijing recently, and their wrong understanding and judgment of policies make it uncertain whether more radical behaviors will occur.

Therefore, from visiting to talks, from rest to dining, from reception etiquette to translation services, etc., all are testing this newly established department.

The attitude of the factory workers, as well as the opinions of the outside world on this talk, are constantly twitching the nerves of the Steel Rolling Factory leadership team.

As the deputy director responsible for coordination, Sha Qizhi also actively communicated with Li Xuewu, took out the big frame of reception work, and found the foreign affairs department personnel stationed in the factory to negotiate.

This work is very complicated, not only the problem of hospitality, but also involves foreign and confidentiality work.

The Steel Rolling Factory is a key industrial enterprise, and it must abide by confidentiality rules in foreign cooperation. A very characteristic feature is that Yu Daru came again.

When he walked into Li Xuewu's office with a smile, he couldn't help but congratulate Li Xuewu.

"Progress, progress, three steps a year."

Yu Daru is naturally very familiar with Li Xuewu, and also knows that Li Xuewu can afford to joke, so he sat opposite Li Xuewu at this moment.

Li Xuewu knew his intention, looked at him with a smile and asked: "Do you have nothing else to do all day, why can you come to our factory every time?"

"Hey~ this is because the profession is right~"

Yu Daru took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and said: "Our leader said that my wealth is prosperous, and I will not return empty-handed every time I come, so I will be responsible for the work of the Steel Rolling Factory in the future."

"Did your leader not hit the board and enshrine you?"

Li Xuewu twitched his mouth, beckoned Peng Xiaoli to serve tea to the other party, and continued to look at the documents himself.

He didn't need to be polite to this kind of special agency idler, and didn't need to specifically vacate time to entertain.

Peng Xiaoli had seen Yu Daru, but had no contact.

Yu Daru raised his eyes and looked at him, smiled and said: "Yo~ new secretary~"

After speaking, he smiled and asked Li Xuewu: "Changed, why didn't you change a prettier female secretary?"

"I want to~"

Li Xuewu signed the document, and said: "But I want you from your leader, and he won't give it~"

"Hahaha~"

Yu Daru smiled indifferently: "Our leader treats me as a treasure, so don't be delusional."

"Hmm, big treasure~"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and said: "Tell your leader, there is no surplus grain in the Steel Rolling Factory recently, let him disperse the heart of seeking wealth."

"Impossible!"

"Don't lie to me!"

"I don't believe it!"

Yu Daru lay on the desk, looked at Li Xuewu and smiled evilly: "Our leader knows about your going to Yangcheng!"

"Grass!"

Li Xuewu looked at him speechlessly and asked: "Are you a confidentiality unit, or an investigation unit!"

"Hehehe~"

Yu Daru smiled evilly: "We are investigating in confidentiality, and confidential in investigation. You don't understand."

"Hmm, I don't understand."

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said: "I will talk to Ji Wang Weidong and their leaders later to see if you have crossed the line."

"It doesn't matter~"

Yu Daru was free and easy, spread his hands and said: "If you want to say cross the line, it is also them who made things first."

"Hey! Speaking of Ji Wang Weidong~"

He raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "Where did this kid go? Why haven't I seen him for a long time."

"How do I know?"

Li Xuewu asked back with a fake expression: "Aren't you brother units? I can't catch his shadow when he is elusive. Can you not be clear?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Yu Daru shook his head and said: "It's a pity that you don't come to our unit to work. This lying ghost talk is coming out of your mouth!"

"If I didn't know those situations about you and Ji Wang Weidong, I would have been deceived by you!"

"Joke~ why should I lie to you~"

Li Xuewu breathed out of his nostrils, packed up the documents in his hand, and said: "I really haven't seen him for a long time, but with their work nature, isn't it normal to disappear."

"No~ no~"

Yu Daru stared at Li Xuewu's eyes and said: "If you want to say that we disappear for a period of time, it is possible, them?"

"Unless he is not in the mainland..."

Yu Daru's meaning in his eyes constantly tested Li Xuewu's bottom line, and he was also a professional habit.

Li Xuewu didn't care, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "I'm not surprised, aren't you just doing this."

"It makes sense~"

Yu Daru took a hard sip of smoke, nodded and said: "I heard that you have a fleet in Steel City? And you got the freight task of Jinmen Port Wharf?"

"What's wrong?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked back: "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Hey~ what suggestions can I have?"

Yu Daru smoked, aimed at Li Xuewu, paused, and asked: "What are your plans for the train skin next?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Xuewu knew that he must have something to talk about when he turned around, and he was pulling and pulling, just to serve this sentence.

Yu Daru looked at Peng Xiaoli who went out, explored his body and mentioned: "I know your factory has started to engage in refrigerated trains yourself. I don't know what your plans are next."

Hearing him say this, Li Xuewu tilted his head slightly, leaned on the chair, looked at Yu Daru in front of him, and nodded slowly: "It seems that our factory's confidentiality work has a problem."

"No, no~"

Yu Daru saw Li Xuewu was also serious, waved his hands again and again: "I don't mean this, I purely want to maintain the normal order of cooperation~"

"Oh?"

"What order?"

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

Li Xuewu asked three times, directly making Yu Daru's heart cold. Their leader was afraid that the Steel Rolling Factory would dump them and do it themselves, so they were so concerned.

Especially seeing that the Steel Rolling Factory is about to engage in big projects, they are even more anxious.

"Director Li, you this..."

Yu Daru said with a bitter face: "Don't make things difficult for me. You also know that our unit has just experienced twists and turns, and it is exactly when we need funds..."

"Wait~"

Li Xuewu raised his hand and pressed it, and asked: "What do you want to say? Be direct."

"If you want to say lack of money, then it's a coincidence, we also lack money here. If you want to say twists and turns, who has lived a stable life?"

He tapped the desk and said: "I just want to know, how do you know about our factory engaging in refrigerated trains?"

"Pure accident!"

Yu Daru said embarrassedly: "We have records of all the train skins entering and leaving the railway side. We accidentally saw the centralized procurement project of your factory last month, so..."

"Guard against it, right~"

Li Xuewu nodded coldly and said: "Say it, what does your leader mean?"

"Our leader's meaning..."

Yu Daru hesitated, explored his body and mentioned: "Still hope to continue cooperation, after all, you need procedures for so many train skins."

"This, it's not very needed now."

Li Xuewu took out a document from the desk and signaled it to him, tapped the text above, and reminded him: "Above has approved, food industry processing raw material procurement agreement, we can open slips from southeast, northwest."

"This..."

Yu Daru frowned looking at that document. Before, the Steel Rolling Factory needed to walk the train skins through them to coordinate, and there were not so many things to walk special freight procedures.

Now it's good, those train skins are still in the hands of the Steel Rolling Factory, but they are also going to engage in their own refrigerated trains, and they have also obtained freight procedures.

"What a move to unload the mill and kill the donkey~"

"Don't overestimate yourself."

Li Xuewu's mouth is really damaging. He took back the document from the other party's hand and put it aside, saying: "You didn't play the role of a donkey at all."

This sentence almost made Yu Daru angry. His eyes were a bit unkind, and a bit resentful looking at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to him, cooled him for the time of a document, and then put down the work in his hand and asked: "There is a project..."

"Do it! We cooperate! It's possible!"

Before Li Xuewu could say it, Yu Daru had already agreed repeatedly, and swore to pat the table, as if he could be the master.

"..."

Now it was Li Xuewu's turn to look at him with unkind eyes, until he closed his mouth.

"We are going to build an automobile industry base, hardware industry base, military factory, electronic and electrical industry base in Steel City."

Li Xuewu found several documents that could be external, threw them in front of him, and explained: "In Camp City shipyard, we are going to engage in yacht industry, and in Beijing, we are going to engage in food industry."

"So many?"

Yu Daru put away the joking expression, looked at the documents in his hand seriously, and said in surprise: "It seems that your trip to Yangcheng really gained a lot!"

"Less nonsense, let's see if you dare to take it."

Li Xuewu hugged his chest with both hands, looked at Yu Daru, wanting to see his courage.

Yu Daru roughly flipped through several documents, then raised his head and frowned: "This... seems like there is nothing we can do?"

"Why not?"

Li Xuewu tapped the documents in front of him and said: "Didn't you find it? They are all foreign cooperation, understand?"

"Understand a fart~ you want me to rob them?"

Yu Daru looked down again, his eyes were blank, not knowing where the money Li Xuewu said came from.

Li Xuewu twitched his mouth and said: "Don't tell me you don't have 'protection' measures for these people."

"So what?"

Yu Daru spread his hands and said: "This is our work!"

"Is your brain full of paste?!"

Li Xuewu tapped the table with his finger and said: "Can't you really protect them?"

"??? What do you mean?"

Yu Daru was a bit stunned, didn't understand the meaning of Li Xuewu's words.

Li Xuewu looked at him like a fool and said: "In the mainland, they are worried about safety issues all the time, and they dare not go deep into the mainland to negotiate cooperation. Our products can't be sold, and they have no money to come in."

"Use your jujube-sized brain to think about it. If someone can provide them with enough safety to come to the mainland to cooperate with the factory, and continuously provide all security services..."

"Oh~!"

Yu Daru stared in surprise and said: "Your meaning is... I understand!"

He pointed at Li Xuewu, with an expression of finally understanding, and said: "You want us to use public office for private gain, build plank roads openly, and cross the dark passage secretly..."

"If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them."

Li Xuewu tapped the table with a pencil and reminded: "In fact, you can also stick to your original intention and be selfless."

"Who said we are selfless!"

"Who said that, isn't this rumor!"

Yu Daru said very aggrieved: "We don't mind using public office for private gain..."

"This is a service work."

Li Xuewu reminded again: "You need to fully guarantee their safety, and do a good job of service, and you can't let them feel the threat, including from you."

"No problem, anyway, it's all 'protection'."

Yu Daru nodded and said: "If we can protect closely, or 'protect' openly, wouldn't our work be easier to do!"

"It doesn't matter~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I just provide you with a suggestion. As for how to carry out this business, it's all yours, it has nothing to do with me."

"..."

Yu Daru paused, carefully looked at Li Xuewu, and asked tentatively: "Am I being deceived by you again?"

"Save it~"

Li Xuewu looked at him disdainfully and said: "Just a pile of you, even if you give it to me, I don't want it, lie to you? ~~~"

Yu Daru twitched his mouth, looked at Li Xuewu again, and saw him looking at the document, his expression was calm, which was not unbelievable.

Said a few words about foreign reception work, and he got up and left.

People walked to the door, but Yu Daru turned his head suddenly, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "You let us do this, is it just to facilitate your factory to cooperate with foreign businessmen?"

"Do what you should do~"

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to him, looked at the document and said: "Our factory has a few foreign projects, just serving our factory, you will starve to death."

"Hiss~~ also oh~"

Yu Daru thought about it, nodded and said: "Then... thank you~"

Li Xuewu waved his hand, didn't raise his head, and continued to look at the document in his hand.

When Peng Xiaoli sent Yu Daru away and came back to renew hot water for Li Xuewu, he asked tentatively: "Is our factory's cooperation with the Confidentiality Department going to be broken?"

"Hmm."

Li Xuewu just responded, then raised his head and looked at him, asking: "Do you know why?"

"Uh..."

Peng Xiaoli looked at Li Xuewu's eyes, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Li Xuewu saw that he didn't speak, and lowered his head to write again. Peng Xiaoli's heart was up and down.

"Is there any pressure outside? I also heard that above..."

"Not all."

Li Xuewu interrupted his guess and explained: "First, the changes in the situation outside will indeed affect the factory's business and decision-making."

"However, this kind of not very close cooperation is not enough to make our factory have any entanglement with the Confidentiality Department, not enough."

"Secondly, the pressure statement is inaccurate. When did our factory change its business policy because of outside pressure?"

He pointed to the document at hand, signaled Peng Xiaoli to pack up, and mentioned: "The main reason is to consider from the actual situation and internal status of our factory."

"The first point is business needs. The volume of joint trade was not large before, and the need for refrigerated trains was not large, so short-term cooperation is the most powerful."

"But the food processing plant to be built next year needs a lot of raw materials. Without a refrigerated line, it won't work. Cooperating with the Confidentiality Department is not as good as taking the regular channel and cooperating with the railway."

"The second point is administrative means. Since we want to take the regular channel, there is no need to hang them anymore. It is not very good to have more or less by then, no need."

"The third point is the change in the external situation you mentioned. They have no scruples when performing business operations, which is easy to cause trouble for our factory."

Li Xuewu explained the reason to Peng Xiaoli like feeding a cat, and finally looked at him and said: "In the final analysis, in a word, cooperate when it is suitable, and do not cooperate when it is not suitable."

"Yes, understand."

Peng Xiaoli nodded, indicating that he learned, but looking at Li Xuewu, he couldn't help but ask: "But if so, will we offend them?"

"Are you very afraid of offending people?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him, and seeing Peng Xiaoli's dodging eyes, he nodded slowly and said: "You still need to learn. How can a cadre be afraid of offending people?"

Looking at Peng Xiaoli's confused expression, he said: "It's not to let you offend people everywhere, but to have the determination to offend people to do business, but also to have the ability to handle things smoothly."

"Just like Li Kezhang Yu today?"

Peng Xiaoli thought about it, and seemed to understand something, including Li Xuewu's attitude towards Yu Daru, as well as the later desire to catch and let go, etc.

He is a smart person. Although his family background is not very good, he is not a rookie.

Here at Li Xuewu, he can figure out what Li Xuewu wants to say in a few words, which saves Li Xuewu the time of preaching.

"Go, tell Qizhi, don't worry about the Confidentiality Department, let them go to engage themselves."

"Yes."

Peng Xiaoli quickly understood this order from the leader and turned to convey it.

And Li Xuewu leaned on the chair, looking at the main office building outside the window and began to ponder.

Japanese businessmen visit, there is a voice outside, no opinion inside?

Not necessarily, I am afraid that someone can't help it early, wanting to dig the foundation of the building Li Huai De covered in Yangcheng...

"Hello, Li Sang, we meet again!"

"Mr. Nishida, hello."

"Li Sang, it's really happy to see you."

"Me too, Mr. Ninomiya."

"Li Sang, everything is fine."

"Everything is fine, Mr. Nakamura."

After shaking hands and greeting the three, Li Xuewu stretched out his hand again and shook hands with Momotani Erika. 【906-

Miss Momotani's hand remained soft and gentle, and while shaking hands, she inadvertently brushed against Li Xuewu's palm.

But when Li Xuewu withdrew his gaze from her chest and met her eyes, her gaze was clear once again.

It is rare to see a girl who is so open-minded, clear-eyed, and lively at heart.

"This is Miss Momotani's first time in the capital, right?"

"That is correct, Mr. Li."

Erika Momotani spoke to Li Xuewu with a very grateful smile, her expression full of admiration and reverence.

"Then you should take a good look around and see our magnificent mountains and rivers."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and reminded her: "Leave the mountains and rivers behind, but you can take the beautiful impressions with you."

"Yes~ You put it so well~"

Erika Momotani clearly understood the meaning behind his words and glanced at her boss; these words were certainly not meant for her.

However, since Li Xuewu was speaking to her now, she naturally had to pick up the conversation.

"My impression of the mainland has always been very good. I like the mountains and rivers here, and I also like the people here."

She looked at Li Xuewu deliberately and said with a smile: "If I truly fall in love with this place, I will choose to stay here and be with the mountains, rivers, and people I like."

"Oh~~~ Welcome, welcome~"

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said to Kenichi Nishida: "It seems Mr. Nishida is about to lose a capable assistant."

"As long as Miss Momotani likes it, this is her personal choice."

Kenichi Nishida was still thinking about Li Xuewu's previous remark, wondering if there was some special meaning behind it.

"Li-san."

Hideji Nakamura took the initiative to speak: "It is not just Miss Momotani who hopes to stay here; I also like the scenery and customs here very much."

As he spoke, he said very sincerely: "If our cooperation can proceed smoothly, I would ask your side to help us establish an office agency in the capital!"

"No problem."

Li Xuewu agreed quite readily, not caring whether he could actually help later; in any case, he would answer any request.

"I am truly grateful!"

Nakamura was a very honest person; seeing Li Xuewu act this way, he truly believed that he was a man of his word and could really help them secure the office agency.

At this moment, in front of the reception staff of the Rolling Steel Mill, he bowed solemnly to thank him.

Li Xuewu was also very polite, supporting his arm and saying that he could come to him for anything.

Note: come to him for anything, not the Rolling Steel Mill.

And one must also note: when you have something to do, you have to be able to find him!

Seeing Nakamura act this way, Kenichi Nishida also suggested at the right time: "If this cooperation can truly be achieved and the establishment of the office agency facilitated, then Miss Momotani would indeed have a reason to stay."

"Yes, thank you for your support, President."

Erika Momotani was truly observant and knew how to speak well; she thanked her boss and then bowed slightly to Li Xuewu: "Thank you for your support, Mr. Li."

The little devil really grasped the essence of politeness: offer a salute first, then flatter the other party, thus putting them on the spot so they have no choice but to agree to their request.

But who is Li Xuewu? If you flatter others, they might feel embarrassed not to help, but this trick only works on people who care about their reputation.

Finding Li Xuewu was the wrong choice; reputation and profit were never options on a multiple-choice question for him.

Not only was he a man who wouldn't get up early without profit, but he might even scam you a little.

In his view, doing things to gain profit was the most normal thing in the world; scamming you a little was actually his motivation for doing things.

Now, just by using two nice-sounding sentences and adding a pair of long legs, you want to make him lose his head?

This is not only an insult to Li Xuewu's willpower, but also an insult to the bottom line of Yu Li, Zhou Ya Mei, Zhang Songying... and a whole group of others.

Mr. Li is a man who has seen it all; you're trying to test a cadre with these things?

"We welcome all foreign businessmen who are willing to come to China to cooperate, and in our cooperation, we will spare no effort to help each other and safeguard our mutual interests."

When Li Xuewu spoke in platitudes, he was truly like a sow wearing a bra—one set after another.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to walk into the guesthouse, while still speaking in platitudes and polite phrases about good-neighborly friendship and mutual assistance.

As a reception area, the guesthouse today had been surrounded tightly by the security team.

One could not see any tense atmosphere from the outside, but the security work had already been completed internally.

Including all service staff, who had already completed the study and preparation of safety, confidentiality, and service regulations on the 5th, which was yesterday.

Guests in all rooms were told to abide by the corresponding regulations; without special circumstances, contact with visiting foreign businessmen was strictly prohibited.

The meeting room was arranged in the small conference room on the second floor, which had already been set up and arranged, with areas for the foreign affairs department to sit and areas for the confidentiality department to sit.

Li Xuewu was the one who brought them up, while Li Huai had been waiting here for a long time.

Both sides had already met in Yangcheng; after drinking tea and exchanging pleasantries in the reception room, they went to the conference room together to start negotiations on the content of their cooperation.

Li Xuewu had already learned of the cooperation requirements proposed by the three Japanese parties in Yangcheng, and he had already given them answers to the parts that could be discussed; this time was considered a follow-up discussion.

"Regarding the project proposal for investing in the construction of an electronic and electrical industrial base, our side has the following points..."

The sound in the conference room was also isolated inside as the door closed; the service staff standing outside could not hear, let alone see, the specific situation inside.

Zhang Songying pointed to a few service staff to be ready to respond; if there was a need inside the conference room later, they still had to provide standardized service and could not be impolite.

After she finished giving instructions, she went downstairs to check the lunch arrangements; this area had been her responsibility since Liu Lan left.

Although Zhang Songying was currently preparing for the management team of the Six Nations Hotel, the guesthouse was the venue for her to train the team, so she appeared even busier than usual.

There were many more service staff and working staff here than before, all of whom she had newly selected from the service office.

This included the children of those workers who had newly entered the factory; they had education, figures, ability, and good looks.

Watching her come downstairs, Qin Huairu waved her hand and took the initiative to ask: "Is everything arranged properly?"

"They are already having the meeting."

Zhang Songying signaled toward the tea hall and asked: "Is it arranged here?"

"It's ready."

Qin Huairu nodded and said: "The tables have been reset, and the interior decoration has been rearranged."

As the two spoke, they walked toward the tea hall, which had been temporarily converted into a dining room for the people meeting upstairs to use for their meals.

Neither the large restaurant nor the small private rooms were suitable; only this place could be used with a little modification.

A banquet is not about going to a small restaurant to eat one's fill; the important thing is still socializing.

Sha Qizhi and Zhang Songying had both witnessed the banquet situation in Yangcheng, so after the two discussed it with Qin Huairu, they chose this long-table style of dining.

Just like a meeting, the dining table was very long, and both sides and both ends were enough to seat everyone.

The dishes were chosen according to the dining habits of the visiting guests, using a system of individual servings; the large platters could be divided by service staff into the small plates in front of each person.

As for the alcohol, considering the needs of the various parties, high-proof white spirits, low-proof white spirits, and rice wine were set up separately.

Red wine was also prepared, and high-stemmed glasses were provided, but it might not be used; this was actually contributed voluntarily by Old Li.

And don't say, the red wine Li Xuewu gave him was truly addictive; with just one small glass, he couldn't handle it, and if he didn't resolve it, he absolutely wouldn't be able to sleep.

You say Zhou Miaomiao felt Old Li was powerless in Yangcheng; where would he find such good red wine in Yangcheng?

After returning from Yangcheng, Zhou Miaomiao felt Old Li had changed, and she even thought Old Li was homesick, which was why he was always powerless in Yangcheng.

Old Li is truly a good man who values emotion and righteousness~

In order to entertain guests from afar, he did not hesitate to take out the good wine he cherished, and even had Qin Huairu take out all the white spirits Li Xuewu had prepared for him here to use for the reception.

Li Xuewu was also busy and confused, and didn't pay any attention to this matter at all; how could he know Li Huai was going to cause trouble?

He was busy with work every day and didn't know when he would finish; did he have the heart to care about how Li Huai drank?

It was precisely because Li Xuewu was busy that Li Huai had the time to choose the wine.

If you say they didn't know, that wouldn't be entirely correct; after all, Qin Huairu and Zhang Songying had been here for so long, they still knew the difference between "good wine" and "top-notch wine" versus ordinary white spirits.

But now that Director Li wanted to drink this, and it was to entertain guests, what could they say? Just say Old Li is generous~

Drinking his white spirits didn't matter; at most, they would just taste a few flavors.

But if they drank that kind of red wine that even Liu Lan was addicted to, who knows how much trouble would happen today.

"You too, why didn't you say something to him?"

Qin Huairu looked at the red wine that had already been placed on the dining table and complained in a low voice to Zhang Songying: "What if something happens?"

"You're still blaming me?"

Zhang Songying said aggrievedly: "Can I even see him? Don't you see him every day? Why didn't you say anything?"

"Oh~ are you complaining to me~"

Qin Huairu looked at her amusingly and said: "Even if you can't help it, you don't have to treat me like this, right?"

"Get lost~"

Zhang Songying saw Qin Huairu teasing her, glanced around, and whispered in her ear: "You're the one who can't help it; let me tell you, if you want that, you have to do it early. If I leave, you might..."
