Chapter 909: Danger! Danger! Danger!

"Xiaoli."

Just as Peng Xiaoli was organizing materials, the voice of Sun Jian, director of the Comprehensive Office, came from the door: "Is the leader not here?"

"Director."

Peng Xiaoli took the initiative to stand up and greet: "The leader is in Deputy Team Leader Xiao's office."

"Oh oh, good."

Sun Jian stood at the door and looked into the office. Seeing him stand up, he waved his hand to signal him not to be polite, and even less to stand up and greet him.

Peng Xiaoli naturally wouldn't be so unobservant. Even if he had reached his current position, he wouldn't dare to joke with someone like Sun Jian. In the past, the other party was a deputy section chief, and now he was a section chief.

So seeing Sun Jian come over, he also stood up to make a gesture of pouring water for the other party. Naturally, he was stopped by Sun Jian. After all, he wasn't in the sequence of people who could drink tea in Li Xuewu's office.

"How is it? You've been following the leader for a few days. What's the feeling?"

Sun Jian asked with a smile, asking questions that seemed to be concerned.

Of course, if you were naive enough to think the leader was concerned about you, you would be too innocent. Just hearing the generality of the question, you would know what the other party meant.

Peng Xiaoli was naturally not a novice who had just entered the industry. He also had a sense of precaution against this Director Sun. Regardless of how the other party got along with the leader now, in his place, the change in the status of the two would inevitably bring about a new stage of running-in.

"Benefited a lot, walking on thin ice."

He was very good at speaking, one sentence, two words, multiple moods, and handled things with ease.

No matter how you understood it, he could explain it through. At least in Sun Jian's view, Peng Xiaoli had some foundation, and it also verified his impression of him in the past, as well as the other party's current state of mind.

Otherwise, why would people in the office have dirty hearts? Every sentence carried many meanings, and you never knew how it would be over-interpreted. In the end, it would spread that you had this or that problem.

If you want to say guard, it's really hard to guard against. So in daily confrontations, everyone was cautious and serious.

Perhaps it was because he felt Peng Xiaoli's "nervous" mood, Sun Jian didn't say much more, nodded with a smile, and went out.

But after the other party left, Peng Xiaoli took the phone on the desk and called his "good friend" in the office, making an appointment to go out for a smoke.

Where are there friends in the office? Let alone good friends!

However! As long as you advance fast enough, if you look back, you can find that your relationships are all smiling faces, a full house of guests, and a full house of good friends.

The one sitting at the door of the first section office and Peng Xiaoli were in a relationship of Wolong and Fengchu. Although the two also had times of disparaging each other, they helped each other more often.

At the beginning, the two also joked about "If you get rich, don't forget me." Today, the relationship between the two is another situation.

Peng Xiaoli had been busy with handover these days, or busy with documents, following Li Xuewu, and hadn't had time to go back and chat with him. Making an appointment to smoke today was also to maintain this important relationship.

Never underestimate any relationship in the office. One of the reasons why Sha Qizhi chose to support Peng Xiaoli to be Li Xuewu's secretary was his mature experience in work. To put it bluntly, he didn't need to build his own "intelligence" system like Watching Li Xue.

Whether the other party had the mood of "If you get rich, don't forget me" or "lonely wind and proud bones," this was not within his consideration. As long as it was a person whose brain still had some thinking ability, they wouldn't refuse his initiative.

There is no such thing as lowering oneself to make friends. There is competition in the office, and there is no lack of cooperation. Especially after someone in their circle "takes a step ahead," the phenomenon of "one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" will appear.

Circle culture, mutual support, that's how it came about. It's very complicated, and it's also very normal. It just depends on how it's specifically maintained.

"San'er."

Seeing his former colleague come out of the building, Peng Xiaoli called out and waved his hand to signal the bench in the middle of the courtyard.

The colleague walked over and complained unhappily: "Didn't I say before that I can't be called this in the unit?"

After speaking, he took the cigarette thrown by Peng Xiaoli, put it in his mouth, and lit it himself.

"You are really different now. Following Deputy Director Li, you speak with such an atmosphere now~"

"Stop talking nonsense~ Are you trying to humiliate me?"

Peng Xiaoli also lit his own, took a puff, and said while exhaling smoke: "I knew you guys were whispering about me behind my back."

"Don't flatter yourself."

The colleague curled his lips and said: "We were much quieter after you left. We didn't have time to forget you; who would want to mention you?"

As he spoke, he looked at Peng Xiaoli's clothes and laughed: "Do you really take yourself as a sweet bun? ~"

"I used to call you that too. Why didn't I see you talk so much nonsense then!"

Peng Xiaoli rolled his eyes and said: "I have to say, you must be the one whispering about me behind my back."

"Say it! Was it you!"

He pulled his colleague's sleeve and joked: "I even sneezed yesterday. It was you whispering about me!"

"You are really a person!"

The colleague slapped his hand away and said helplessly: "You think about it, what kind of good person has this name? Every time you call me, I feel like I'm back in the alley!"

"Say it~"

He looked at Peng Xiaoli with a bad smile and asked amusingly: "What are you looking for me for?"

"It's really not for anything, there's serious business."

Peng Xiaoli looked around, pulled his colleague's arm, and whispered: "Let me ask you something. Is there any news about Director Sun Jian recently?"

"Who? Director Sun?"

San'er also frowned, looked at Peng Xiaoli with a strange expression, and asked suspiciously: "You wouldn't be so anxious to move up, would you? How many days have you been there?"

"Not right~~~"

After saying this, he also started to doubt himself: "Even if you covet Director Sun's position, it's a layer apart. What do you want to do?!"

"What's with what?"

Peng Xiaoli spat a puff of smoke into San'er's face, raised his eyebrows and said: "I ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard? I dare to look at that position. Where am I now!"

"It's not me~ It's not that I want to do something, it's him~"

Peng Xiaoli gestured with the thumb of the hand holding the cigarette toward the direction of the security building behind him and whispered: "Why do I feel he's not right?"

"That's~"

San'er curled his lips and said: "It's strange if you look at him pleasingly if you want his position!"

Saying is saying, making trouble is making trouble, but he also knew that Peng Xiaoli didn't mean this, and he had already started thinking about his problem in his heart.

Sun Jian... the factory director's secretary in the past... later went to the security department's comprehensive office to be the director... who is he close to... and close...

"Hey!"

San'er took his hand away from his chin, widened his eyes, and pointed at Peng Xiaoli with sudden realization: "I know!"

"What? Say it!"

Peng Xiaoli saw that he was surprised but didn't speak, and urged him anxiously by poking him: "What's his situation?"

"I can't easily tell you this."

San'er pursed his lips and said: "I'm afraid of being killed~"

"Damn! You're doing this to me!"

Peng Xiaoli widened his eyes, pointed at him and cursed: "If you don't tell me, I'll expose your loss of virginity!"

"You! Are you a person?"

San'er was so angry that the ash from the cigarette in his hand fell onto his pants. After being burned, he threw it away in a hurry, pointed at Peng Xiaoli and cursed: "I knew you were a villain, you will never keep secrets for me!"

"Stop talking about this~"

Peng Xiaoli waved his hand and said: "I'm in danger now, and you're still talking nonsense with me. Who is the villain!"

"Say it! Are you trying to take advantage of the situation and blackmail me for a meal? Is that it!"

"Go~ go~ go~"

San'er looked aggrieved and said generously: "I was just joking with you. Who would have thought you'd expose your true nature!"

"Hey~"

After saying this, he hit Peng Xiaoli with his shoulder with interest and asked in a low voice: "You wouldn't have offended Director Sun, would you? How come you're in danger?"

"Impossible! ~"

San'er shook his head suspiciously, looking at Peng Xiaoli, and said: "You really take yourself as a head of garlic? People want to harm you!"

"Hey! Don't believe it!"

Peng Xiaoli whispered: "He looked at me with bad eyes today. He was aiming at me!"

"Fart! ~"

San'er curled his lips and glared: "Don't tell me you don't know that Director Sun likes to look at people sideways. It's spread throughout the section; it's a habit he developed when he was establishing his prestige."

"Let me tell you."

He pointed at Peng Xiaoli and said: "If you really feel something is wrong, you can check Zhou Yong."

"Who?"

Peng Xiaoli frowned and asked San'er: "Secretary Yang's secretary?"

"Hmm, you check it, it won't be wrong."

San'er nodded and said: "I saw Zhou Yong and Director Sun looking down by the window that day."

"Looking at what?"

Peng Xiaoli thought about the relationship between the two and frowned slightly, asking: "Was their relationship very good before?"

"Good or not, you know it, do I need to say?"

San'er took a puff of his cigarette and said: "Deputy Director Li came downstairs after the meeting that day. There should have been field work, and you were standing on the side."

As he said this, he seemed to have remembered something and patted Peng Xiaoli on the shoulder: "That day was your first day on duty, and Deputy Director Sha was lecturing you."

"What's so good about this?"

Peng Xiaoli had already remembered. That day was his meeting with the leader, and then he left by car. Deputy Director Sha also urged him about work.

If Director Sun really had an opinion on him, he should have brought it up when choosing him as the leader's secretary. What kind of calculation is it to play tricks behind his back?

He didn't think Director Sun was insidious, he just thought he was a small person, and was he worth the other party playing tricks?

Could it be that he already had this important position in the political pattern of the Rolling Mill?

"Is Director Sun really aiming at me?"

"I don't think so."

San'er shook his head slightly and said: "Director Sun also spoke to Deputy Director Sha after going downstairs."

He was also of the same opinion as Peng Xiaoli. To deal with a small secretary of the Management Committee, it wasn't worth taking such a big detour!

"No!"

Peng Xiaoli widened his eyes, pointed at San'er in surprise: "Zhou Yong! Zhou Yong!"

"I know, what's wrong?"

San'er was also startled by his sudden surprise. He didn't notice the cigarette butt burning his hand. After being burned, he threw it away in a hurry.

When he looked at Peng Xiaoli again, he saw his gaze looking toward the garage.

"Are you crazy? What did you think of? Say it!"

"I might have discovered an important problem."

Peng Xiaoli muttered, then looked at San'er and asked: "Which department was Zhou Yong assigned to?"

"Zhou Yong... wasn't assigned, right? Still in the office."

San'er frowned and thought about it, then said: "Secretary Yang went down too fast, there was no time to arrange him. It was Deputy Director Gu who spoke."

"No! Not Deputy Director Gu!"

Peng Xiaoli said decisively: "The problem is definitely not on Deputy Director Gu's side. They are premeditated."

"Don't talk nonsense."

San'er frowned and said: "The matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet. You have to be responsible for talking nonsense."

"I know."

Peng Xiaoli said with a gloomy face: "I will investigate this matter clearly, and I will absolutely not let them hurt..."

"Who?"

San'er was still waiting for his following words, but didn't expect Peng Xiaoli to hide the most critical part halfway through.

He was also so anxious that he jumped up and down. It was like listening to a detective story, and he was addicted to it.

But Peng Xiaoli didn't say anything. He threw the cigarette butt in his hand and stepped on it, and said seriously to San'er: "If you have time, help me keep an eye on Zhou Yong and see who he contacts most closely."

"Hmm... don't mess around~"

San'er's eyes rolled around. Looking at Peng Xiaoli's serious expression, he said: "It's all fine if we talk privately, but I don't want to get involved in any struggle."

After speaking, he looked at Peng Xiaoli and said: "You have already landed, but I am still lying in the water. Someone can drown me with one fart, so I can't afford it."

"I say you are short-sighted."

Peng Xiaoli pursed his lips and whispered: "It's not asking you to go deep behind enemy lines or disguise yourself for reconnaissance, it's just asking you to monitor intelligence. Look at how scared you are."

"Hmm~~~ and you're talking about me!"

San'er said unconvinced: "If we talk about cowardice before, you were even worse than me!"

"Why? Now that you're following the bravest leader in the factory, you've stood up too?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I have something to do."

Peng Xiaoli stuffed the cigarette in his pocket into the other party's jacket pocket and said: "If the matter is handled well, I will definitely not treat you badly, and all the good things will be yours in the future~"

"Hmm, this sounds like human words~"

San'er didn't be polite either, smiled and pointed at Peng Xiaoli and said: "But the way you draw big cakes and talk official jargon now really has a few points of a leader's appearance. It really is 'near vermilion, one gets stained red'!"

"Go away."

Peng Xiaoli smiled, gestured toward the security building and said: "Okay, I really have something to do, go back first~"

"Hey!"

San'er seemed to have remembered something again, stopped Peng Xiaoli, and said: "Have you heard of any relationship between Zhou Yong and Deputy Director Wang?"

"Don't know, what's wrong?"

Peng Xiaoli stood still, looked at him suspiciously, and asked: "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing."

San'er scratched his forehead, thought about it and said: "I'll tell you when I have a certain amount, you go ahead."

"Hmm, if I'm not there, you fly a note, remember to mark it."

Peng Xiaoli made a gesture to him, then turned and entered the security building. He really didn't have much time.

Li Xuewu could call him at any time, and he hadn't fully familiarized himself with the work, so he would be tired like a dog during this period.

If it wasn't for Li Xuewu not allowing it, he would want to live in Li Xuewu's office and read past documents day and night.

Because Sha Qizhi said that Li Xuewu had the habit of backtracking work.

That is to say, the work arranged by the leader would absolutely not be passed once, but would be taken out again to see the completion situation.

This requires the secretary to have deep professional skills, ensuring that the work the leader pays attention to is updated in real-time.

Especially docking with the above and arranging with the below, the secretary is the leader's execution power for work.

Peng Xiaoli only heard that Sha Qizhi was the most difficult and tired of all leaders' secretaries. He once joked about it, but didn't expect the cycle of heaven.

Just after going upstairs, he saw the leader and Deputy Team Leader Xiao standing at the office door talking about something.

Seeing him come over, Li Xuewu waved his hand, gestured to Xiao Zihong, and said: "You go with Deputy Team Leader Xiao, obey orders and listen to commands."

"Yes."

Peng Xiaoli didn't know what had happened, but seeing that both leaders had serious expressions, he also agreed decisively.

He liked to joke around very much and loved to joke when he was with colleagues.

But when he arrived at the security department, it seemed that the shadow of the past hadn't dissipated yet. As long as he entered this building door, his butt would tighten involuntarily.

This is tucking the tail to be a person!

Coming out of the building yesterday, Old Zhou in the former office was still teasing him, asking if he had raised his tail.

At that time, he joked back, but he felt deeply in his heart.

Don't talk about raising the tail; just working in this building is like walking on thin ice and facing a deep abyss. Where is there any tail to speak of?

Deputy Team Leader Xiao walked downstairs in silence, and he followed in silence, like a mute.

This was the advice his father gave him: when being a secretary for a leader, talk less nonsense.

Meeting San'er today, if it were before, he wouldn't hide anything in certain key positions; after all, the two were in an alliance.

But today, it wouldn't work. He was naturally nervous, didn't dare to have the slightest mistake, and even less dared to talk nonsense.

This work was carried on his back like someone pointing a gun at his back, making him unable to relax for a moment.

Downstairs, a car was already parked at the door. It was Deputy Director Li's command car, and Han Jiankun was sitting in the driver's seat.

Seeing that the other party didn't have the slightest intention of getting out of the car to open the door for the leader, Peng Xiaoli could only do it himself.

Deputy Team Leader Xiao didn't care about his initiative. He didn't refuse his help in opening the car door like Deputy Director Li, nor did he praise him, as if his mind wasn't on this at all.

After he got into the passenger seat, Han Jiankun didn't ask him where he was going, and drove the car out of the office area.

Actually, even if Han Jiankun asked him, he wouldn't know, because he was confused since he came to work in the morning.

The leader inexplicably went to find Deputy Team Leader Xiao, the elusive Director Sun came to greet him, San'er who stopped talking mentioned Deputy Director Wang to him...

Now the leader asked him to follow Deputy Team Leader Xiao to handle things, and didn't tell him what he was going to handle.

What the hell is all this!

Peng Xiaoli watched the command car turn a corner and drive toward the guesthouse.

Did something happen to the guesthouse?

Today, Deputy Director Li would act as the main person in charge to negotiate with Mr. Nakamura, who operated mechanical equipment on the Japanese side.

Thinking of the situation that happened here yesterday, did something happen on the Japanese side, or did the scene that made a scene at the door yesterday have any new changes?

He remembered that Director Li called the leader to talk in the guesthouse for a long time, so today...?

Between Peng Xiaoli's wild thoughts, the car had already stopped at the entrance of the guesthouse. Deputy Team Leader Xiao didn't wait for him to ask, and had already gotten out of the car.

He had no choice but to jump out of the car quickly and follow, not forgetting to take the notebook and pencil left in the car.

Deputy Team Leader Xiao walked into the lobby in silence, and only nodded to the waiters who greeted him on the way.

It wasn't until he saw Zhang Songying, the deputy director here, appear that Deputy Team Leader Xiao opened his mouth to speak.

"Is Li Kezhang Yu there?"

"Yes, on the second floor."

Zhang Songying glanced at Peng Xiaoli, replied to Deputy Team Leader Xiao, and led the way.

But Peng Xiaoli was a bit frowning, and his brain was turning a thousand times.

Why was Deputy Team Leader Xiao like this?

Zhang Songying was the deputy director of the guesthouse; why was she also wearing this serious face?

And the Li Kezhang Yu they mentioned, wouldn't it be...

It really was!

On the second-floor conference room, which was where the leaders talked yesterday, there were actually security guards standing guard at the door.

And what he saw when he entered the door with Deputy Team Leader Xiao was Li Kezhang Yu of the Confidential Department, whom he had in mind.

"Deputy Team Leader Xiao."

"Li Kezhang Yu, how is the situation?"

Xiao Zihong greeted the other party with a blank expression, but didn't walk inside, only standing at the door.

It wasn't that he didn't want to walk inside, but that an isolation rope was pulled two steps away from the entrance.

Yu Daru was leading a few people to do a survey in the conference room. At this moment, the other party also walked over after greeting.

"Basically, it can be determined."

Yu Daru showed them a piece of black belt-like round button-like thing that had been torn off.

Xiao Zihong frowned and took a look, asking: "Eavesdropping?"

Seeing Yu Daru nod, his expression became serious, and he asked: "Where is the source?"

"Don't know."

Yu Daru pursed his lips and smiled helplessly, shaking his head slightly: "Only found the transmitting device in the wall. It's not an electronic structure; it's quite ingenious."

"How is this possible~"

Xiao Zihong frowned: "If it's not electronic, how is it transmitted, and how is it received?"

"Hmm, we are also investigating and researching this."

Yu Daru obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with him. This Deputy Team Leader Xiao was obviously an outsider.

Peng Xiaoli knew some of this. After looking at the device in Yu Daru's hand, he explained to Deputy Team Leader Xiao in a low voice: "The current eavesdropping devices are developing very fast and can achieve wireless eavesdropping."

Xiao Zihong also knew he was showing his ignorance. After listening to Peng Xiaoli's explanation, he looked at Yu Daru, clearly feeling the surprise of the other party looking behind him.

It seemed that what Peng Xiaoli said was true; this thing was really not easy to discover.

Yu Daru was a bit surprised by Peng Xiaoli's understanding of these devices, smiled and asked: "Aren't you Director Li's secretary?"

His address hadn't changed, still the habit of the past, but he had seen Peng Xiaoli in Li Xuewu's office once, and his memory seemed very good.

Peng Xiaoli glanced at him. The other party's eagle-like eyes made him very uncomfortable, but he still had to answer the other party's words: "My mother is from an electronics factory, and I played with these things since I was a child."

"Oh~~~"

Yu Daru seemed to understand, and seemed not to care too much, nodded with a smile, as if it had passed just like that.

"Can you find out who installed it?"

Xiao Zihong didn't care about Yu Daru's nonsense, and pursued with a gloomy voice: "Or can you determine when it was installed?"

"Sorry, neither of these can be determined."

Yu Daru spread his hands very regretfully and said: "I am not a god. If there is no support from your factory, fortune-telling is not effective either."

Xiao Zihong's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. He looked at the other party, nodded slowly, and understood something.

But Peng Xiaoli, who was standing behind him, was still confused.

What?

What did he say?!

What did you understand?!

This is playing riddles!

"Then handle it according to the leader's meaning."

Xiao Zihong didn't ask about this matter again, but looked at Zhang Songying who was standing beside him and asked: "The situation here hasn't spread, right?"

"No."

Zhang Songying glanced at Yu Daru and explained to Xiao Zihong: "I reported the water leakage of the building here to the Management Committee Office early this morning. The Management Committee Office notified that the procurement meeting had been changed to the security building."

"That's good."

Xiao Zihong nodded, gestured toward the door, and asked with a frown: "The service personnel have no problems, right?"

"It's inevitable, we can only use renovation to cover it up."

Zhang Songying replied seriously: "There was knocking and hitting just now; everyone knows that construction is going on here."

"It doesn't matter."

Yu Daru shrugged his shoulders and said: "Director Li said, don't ask the guesthouse waiters; we won't overstep our authority."

Zhang Songying looked at him and said seriously: "I can't explain this to you; I have to trouble you to coordinate with Deputy Director Li."

"Of course~"

Yu Daru nodded understandingly, smiled and gestured to Xiao Zihong: "If it wasn't like this, I believe you wouldn't have to come to assist me with this case."

"It doesn't matter, everyone in the security team can be used."

Xiao Zihong didn't care about the contempt in the other party's words and replied.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything else, he nodded and said: "That's it, you've worked hard."

After speaking, he didn't give Yu Daru a chance to shake hands with him, turned around and walked out of the door.

Yu Daru looked at the other party's lonely voice and laughed out loud. Seeing Zhang Songying standing on the side with a cold face, he asked jokingly: "You wouldn't be angry with Deputy Team Leader Xiao, would you?"

Zhang Songying turned to look at him, raised her eyebrows with a hint of irony, snorted coldly, and said: "It seems you really should learn what human sophistication is."

"Yo! Don't be angry~"

Yu Daru of course didn't dare to be like this with Li Xuewu, but he was accustomed to being oily and sarcastic when handling cases.

He was cold-shouldered after not saying two words to Xiao Zihong, and he also angered the other party when he docked work with Zhang Songying in the morning.

Zhang Songying rolled her eyes and said: "Give you another hour; the 'water leakage' problem in the conference room must be repaired."

After speaking, she also learned Xiao Zihong's appearance, didn't pay attention to Yu Daru at all, and turned around and went out.

Yu Daru looked at the enchanting back, smiling on his face, but his eyes were all gloomy.

The Confidential Department had encountered many such situations, and now there were fewer; it was called impossible to guard against in the past.

It wasn't that he doubted Peng Xiaoli, nor did he feel that Zhang Songying had a problem. He doubted everyone; as long as they had contact with this room, he would doubt them.

What's the use of this doubt? Why not launch an investigation?

Do you think Yu Daru doesn't want to investigate?

But just as he said, without the support and permission of the Rolling Mill, where would he dare to run wild here.

Before he suffered a loss, he could not care, but there was a fierce tiger in the Rolling Mill, which made him not dare to be presumptuous.

To investigate, he must get Li Xuewu's nod and get the other party's support.

Now it depends on the other party's attitude. He sent a "waste" deputy team leader over. How could he not know Li Xuewu's meaning?

Also, he reported the situation here yesterday, but waited all night without results. Does he still need to ask?

So, the work that should be done must be done, but things that shouldn't be managed shouldn't be managed.

Regarding the situation here, the leader already knew, and the investigation was negative. Peng Xiaoli only understood this when he passed by the service department where the two leaders talked yesterday.

After leaving the guesthouse gate, Peng Xiaoli helped Deputy Team Leader Xiao open the car door and asked actively: "Leader, are we going back..."

"Get in the car."

Xiao Zihong interrupted his inquiry, jumped into the command car, and pulled the car door shut himself.

Peng Xiaoli was stunned by the other party's attitude, then heard the car ignition sound, and had to quickly get into the passenger seat.

Still without arrangements, Han Jiankun drove the car out of the guesthouse gate and drove directly toward the factory area.

After passing the office area without turning in, Peng Xiaoli knew there were still things to do.

Sure enough, the command car drove all the way to the gate along the factory road, went out of the gate under the salute of the sentry, and drove directly north.

Until he got on the main road, Peng Xiaoli realized that this was going up the mountain.

"Mr. Nakamura, have some tea."

"Thank you, Li Sang, you are too polite."

Nakamura Shuji took the teacup handed by Li Xuewu with both hands very politely, and his face always maintained the smile he had when they met.

Li Xuewu didn't care about his humility, waved his hand to Sun Jian, and signaled that they could go out.

Only the translator for foreign affairs was left behind; this was his own person arranged by Sha Qizhi.

"Li Sang, I also understand some Chinese."

Nakamura Shuji looked at the girl sitting beside him and said a sentence to Li Xuewu in not very standard Chinese.

The girl's gaze was originally on him, her serious face paused slightly, and she looked at Li Xuewu again.

But Li Xuewu didn't open his mouth to let her go out, but smiled slightly and said: "My Japanese is not very good, I only know eight..."

"Oh~ oh~"

Nakamura Shuji waved his hand with a wry smile, stopped the dirty words Li Xuewu was about to blurt out, and kept begging for mercy: "I absolutely have no other meaning, please don't misunderstand."

He was actually really a bit afraid of Li Xuewu. This cooperation was a test for the Rolling Mill, but it was also a challenge for them.

They reviewed the meeting yesterday morning after going back and found that although there were situations where the initiative changed hands, the rhythm of the negotiation had always been under the control of the other party.

Especially this Mr. Li, who was more aggressive than the Mr. Li in charge of the Rolling Mill.

Including at the wine table, the other party's words were sharp, and the language was not lacking in elegance, almost making them unable to get off the banquet.

You say such a sharp person, today you have to face him alone, how can he not be cautious and cautious, careful and careful?

It wasn't that Nishida Kenichi and the others didn't accompany him, but they all had things to do and couldn't leave.

Li Xuewu, however, did not say anything to let her leave as well; instead, he smiled slightly and said, "My Japanese isn't very good, I only know eight words..."

Because his stock company was doing this kind of business before, it was more convenient to dock with the Rolling Mill.

Although the three parties formed a commercial alliance, the companies didn't merge; they were still doing their own things.

It was only in the cooperation and trade in China that they formed a consortium to maintain their common interests.

Of course, as a negotiation condition, his stock company undertook this heavy responsibility, so in other aspects, the other two partners also gave him corresponding compensation.

As for how much, Li Xuewu didn't know. From the other party's active explanation today and the specific implementation plan of the cooperation plan, mechanical equipment and technology would still be negotiated with

Even at the dining table, the other party's words were sharp and their language was not lacking in elegance, almost leaving them unable to finish the banquet.

You can imagine that with such a sharp person to face alone today, how could he not be cautious and more cautious, careful and more careful.

It wasn't that Nishida Kenichi and the others wouldn't accompany him, but they all had matters to attend to and could not get away.

Furthermore, the main work of undertaking the introduction of machinery, equipment, and technology for the steel mill had all been handed to him.

Because his joint-stock company previously did business in this area, it was more convenient for them to interface with the steel mill.

Although the three parties had formed a commercial alliance, it was not a company merger; they were still operating independently.

It was merely that their cooperation and trade in China formed a consortium to maintain their common interests.

Of course, as a condition of the negotiation, his joint-stock company took on this heavy responsibility, so in other aspects, the other two partners also gave him corresponding compensation.

As for how much, Li Xuewu didn't know, but judging from the other party's proactive explanation today and the specific implementation plan for the cooperation, the machinery, equipment, and technology would still be negotiated with him in the future.

"Just a little joke, Mr. Nakamura, please don't mind."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, as if he were truly just joking.

Nakamura Shuji was about to break into a cold sweat, and he felt powerless to complain inwardly: Does Mr. Li think he is very humorous?

"I am truly sorry, I came in a bit of a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts for you."

Nakamura Shuji wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "When I return to my country, I will send you a token of my appreciation."

"Oh? Then I am truly honored."

Li Xuewu didn't care at all that there was still a female translator beside him, and proactively accepted the other party's obvious "bribe."

"You don't need to be too polite; arriving here is just like arriving at my home."

Regarding these little devils, Li Xuewu always maintained absolute vigilance and caution.

Even if it was just a polite remark, he was unwilling to let the other party take advantage of him.

My home is my home; you shouldn't feel like my home is good and want to occupy it, just like twenty or thirty years ago.

Of course, in order to embody the business philosophy of good-neighborly friendship and win-win cooperation, he also proactively said, "I am full of hope and vision for our upcoming cooperation, and I hope you will not let me down."

"That is certain~"

Nakamura Shuji nodded very respectfully, smiled, opened the document he had brought, handed it to Li Xuewu, and introduced, "This is our sincerity."

"Hmm, very good."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, but reached out and closed the document the other party had just opened, leaving Nakamura Shuji stunned.

What is wrong with this person? Why is he acting like a mental patient? Saying it's very good—shouldn't he look at what I brought first!

Li Xuewu, however, didn't mind his surprise; he picked up the document from the tea table, handed it to the girl sitting beside him, and said, "Help me send this to the room next door, Professor Zhang and the others are waiting."

"Very well, Deputy Director Li."

The girl stood up, took the document, and walked out. By the time she left, another girl in the same attire walked in through the door.

Nakamura Shuji's bewildered expression betrayed his inner unease and panic; he wondered if he had truly met a madman.

What is all this for? He came here to negotiate, not to play "switch-switch-switch" with him!

What is this? One female translator goes out, another female translator comes in—what is going on!

Li Xuewu picked up his teacup, took a sip, gestured toward the restless Nakamura Shuji, and said frankly, "Believe it or not, I know absolutely nothing about machinery and technology."

"Then..."

Nakamura Shuji gestured toward the conference room next door and asked, "Then why don't we go over there to discuss?"

"Because I don't understand these things~"

Li Xuewu repeated his previous explanation, answering both of the other party's questions with one answer, almost driving Nakamura Shuji to an emotional breakdown~

Seeing that the other party had fallen silent, Li Xuewu proactively explained, "As long as it is a negotiation, there will inevitably be arguments. At the conference table, I lack the necessary knowledge base, so I truly don't know how to negotiate with you."

As he spoke, he crossed his right leg, tapped his fingers on the sofa armrest, and said with great confidence, "But just because I don't understand doesn't mean no one in our factory understands. Now we just need to drink tea and chat, and wait for them to give me the answer."

"But... this..."

Nakamura Shuji looked hesitantly at Li Xuewu and said, "Even if they give you their suggestions, how will you negotiate with me?"

"That is simple enough~"

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "I don't understand technology and equipment, but I understand human nature."

He took a book from under the tea table, placed it on the table, pushed it toward the other party, gestured to it, and introduced, "Modesty aside, this is the book I wrote."

"???"

Nakamura Shuji's head was now full of question marks. I came here to negotiate cooperation with you, and you're showing off to me?

Who can't write a book? He himself... he truly hadn't written a book...

Picking up the book from the tea table, the standard font on the cover read "Criminal Psychology."

Damn it, what is the meaning of this?

Regardless of what the other party meant by giving him this book, looking at the title and then the author—it was truly the other party's name—he had to unwillingly admit that the other party had successfully shown off.

"Li-san, I truly didn't expect you to have such talent. I truly admire you!"

"However..."

Holding the book in his hands, he asked Li Xuewu hesitantly, "I wonder what you mean by this...?"

"My meaning is very simple."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "No matter what your quote is, when the expert group's suggestion from next door is sent back to me, I will be able to guess the price I want just by looking at your face."

"This is called psychology~!"

"Hmm?"

Nakamura Shuji: Danger!!!
