"Ten, eight! Eighteen! Got it?!"
Seeing that the French woman only spoke to Li Xuewu and had a suspicious expression on her face, Zhou Xiaobai got angry.
She had no doubt that it was Brother Wu who was deliberately causing trouble, she just felt that this French woman was not a good person.
"Eighteen? Eighteen or eighteen?"
Seeing Zhou Xiaobai gesturing with his fingers and explaining to her anxiously, Jima Roman made a random guess.
Li Xuewu almost spit out the tea he had just drunk. What the hell are eighteen!
Isn't this just slandering someone's innocence for no reason?
"Um... Miss Maggie, let's talk about today's topic."
Li Xuewu pursed his lips and asked, "Is there good news from Ms. Chantal?"
"Why can't I be the one to date you?"
Gemma Roman raised her eyebrows and looked at him and asked, "Can't I learn Chinese from you?"
She is so good at it!
Zhou Xiaobai, who was sitting on the side, pouted and felt a little nervous. Was this woman trying to seduce Brother Wu? How could she be so good at seducing men?
"The word you taught me last time was very interesting. I used it when I was communicating with the cultural director of your Foreign Affairs Embassy, and she was very surprised."
"Um! Miss Maggie..."
Li Xuewu widened his eyes and asked nervously, "You didn't say you learned it from me, did you?"
"Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I'll forget you?"
Jima Roman said with a smile: "Chinese traditional culture emphasizes respecting teachers. Of course I said that I learned it from you, since you are a teacher."
“…Actually, you don’t have to be so respectful to your teacher.”
Li Xuewu felt that he had fallen into a trap. This wouldn't cause any international foreign affairs incident, right?
"The phrase I taught you is best used in less formal situations, understand?"
"Haha! You're so cute!"
Jima Roman covered her mouth and laughed loudly, completely disregarding the fact that there were other guests in the restaurant. She was very cool.
The sun is shining brightly at this time of the morning, and it is the best time for women in their twenties to bloom.
She knew how to exude her charm and youthfulness, which not only attracted the attention of the men in the restaurant, but also attracted the jealousy of the women.
How does one say that? In interpersonal communication, if you take it too seriously, you will lose!
"You are so cute!"
Li Xuewu knew he had been fooled, and picked up his teacup to glance around at the jealous eyes.
A few freckles, not concealed, make her look youthful and cute, with blue eyes and a rosy face.
Against the backdrop of sunlight, her skin is naturally white and her hair is a natural yellow.
Looking at the gorgeous girl, the men in the restaurant were naturally envious of Li Xuewu.
"What is she laughing at? At me?"
Zhou Xiaobai looked at the other person strangely, and asked Li Xuewu, "What exactly is it? Did she understand my explanation?"
"She's making fun of me."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and explained: "She wanted to learn Chinese from me, but I didn't agree to her."
"Why? Promise her!"
Zhou Xiaobai said angrily: "Let her also experience the difficulty and frustration of learning a foreign language!"
“I’m afraid I can’t do this.”
Li Xuewu looked at her, blinked, and said with a wicked smile: "She has a shortcut to learning foreign languages, and that is to date local men."
"What? How could there be such a thing..."
Zhou Xiaobai wanted to ask how there could be such a shameless woman, but he held back for fear of the impact of external affairs. There was just a little bit of weirdness in his eyes when he looked at Jima Roman.
"What are you saying about me? Bad things?"
After Jima Roman laughed, she saw that after the two people opposite her talked for a few words, the look in the little girl's eyes when she looked at her changed.
Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and explained: "I told her that you like Chinese, but she didn't believe it."
"Then tell her that I prefer the teacher who teaches me Chinese—"
Jima Roman raised her eyebrows while holding a coffee cup, and her big eyes actually gave off a spark of electricity.
Li Xuewu eats more Chinese food and less Western food. Even though he had worked in a French environment before, the management was very strict at that time.
Especially in Africa, keeping oneself clean is the most responsible attitude towards one's own life.
You see white people walking on the street, but they are most likely indigenous white people who have lived on that land more than a hundred years ago.
Although they speak French, black people also speak French, so the "problems" of black people will also be transmitted to white people.
If you dare to eat Western food, you must be mentally prepared to "plant mushrooms" and the winning rate will be particularly high.
After the reform and opening up in later generations, there was a period of time when the mainland lacked national self-confidence, and worshipping foreign things became the mainstream.
As a result, all foreign garbage and black garbage were treated as high-end goods and put into pockets.
What is the result? How can the truly good things come across the ocean to make a living here?
Only when garbage can no longer survive in its native land will it migrate in large groups and become mushroom spreaders.
How many of those who followed their black husbands back to Africa have the nerve to shout that they are happy? Most of them were beaten by reality and their dreams of becoming princesses were shattered.
During the years when Li Xuewu was stationed abroad, he would run into three princes and four princesses when he went out to throw away the garbage.
The children of the local chief are all called princes and princesses, but he has seen the chief hammering screws. Do you really think that princes all ride white horses?
Tang Monk is riding a white horse!
Li Xuewu didn't care about Jima Roman's teasing at all. In his opinion, this level of intensity was just a sign that she was treating him as the shy type, which is common among mainland men.
"Forget it, you should respect your teachers. We can't have teacher-student romance here. It's a taboo and you'll be shot."
“Fuck! Is this true?”
After hearing what Li Xuewu said, Jima Roman stopped drinking coffee and looked at him in surprise.
Zhou Xiaobai was also surprised, but was stunned by the Chinese that suddenly popped up in Jima Roman.
What did she just say?
Who taught her that?
It’s lack of virtue!
"I've told you, we are very loyal to our relationships, including friendship."
Li Xuewu took a sip of hot tea and said seriously, "Have you heard of these idioms, such as Guan Yu and Bao Bao dividing the gold, high mountains and flowing water, a close friend who would die for his friends, and a close friend who would never go against his will?"
"We are loyal to only one lover in our life, and we are even more loyal to our friends and never cheat."
"Okay - so we're friends?"
Jima Roman raised her eyebrows, looked at him and said, "We French actually rarely have teacher-student relationships, and it is not encouraged in our country."
Haha, it’s too early to say that. In the future you will have a president named Ma.
Don’t say I’m illiterate and don’t know foreign surnames. Some people say Kobe’s surname is Ko.
"I feel much more relieved if you say so."
Li Xuewu looked at her and asked, "So you asked me out today just to learn Chinese?"
"Of course not. It's not just about learning Chinese. I also have good news for you."
Jima Roman pursed her lips, looked at him and smiled: "Ms. Chantal will be back next week and would like to invite you to have the second round of negotiations on Friday."
"Good news! Is there any progress in France?"
Li Xuewu did not forget to help Zhou Xiaobai translate during the conversation, which is also a kind of training.
It's not about language training, but social skills and business communication skills. If you really want to employ them, you have to adopt a formal training attitude.
The impression given to Zhou Xiaobai's family is to train Zhou Xiaobai to succeed in the business environment and give her the opportunity to contact the outside world.
Otherwise, why didn't Zhou Zhennan and his wife come to trouble him yet and let Zhou Xiaobai act recklessly?
"Ms. Chantal has convinced the board of directors, and now it depends on your sincerity."
Maggie spread her hands and said, "This trip to France is very difficult, you should understand that."
"Our factory has always been sincere."
Li Xuewu tilted his head and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be here to meet you on the weekend."
"Last time, your vice president did not show any sincerity that we could see. I hope the good news you just told us is really good news."
"William Robin? Hehe——"
Jima Roman chuckled meaningfully and shook his head, "Let me correct you, he is not our vice president. I am just passing on the message."
"Furthermore, the Santaya Group belongs to Ms. Chantal, and William Robin is just an agent."
"I have always had a question, but I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."
Li Xuewu raised his head slightly, looked at Maggie Roman and asked: "Since you are a cultural commissioner, why do you want to help Ms. Chantal handle cooperation business?"
"I mean--"
He spread his hands and explained: "I think, shouldn't it be the job of the economic commissioner?"
"You just said that it's rest time now. Do you think the economic commissioner doesn't need a rest?"
Gemma Roman smiled and said, "Of course, I need to rest, but as a friend I have to give something for Chantal."
Her explanation was vague, but Li Xuewu heard it clearly and raised his eyebrows as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
Maggie saw the change in his expression and knew that he had understood her meaning. She smiled meaningfully and said, "You are thinking about something bad, right?"
"No, I'm thinking about interesting things."
Li Xuewu said with a wicked smile: "Isn't this considered a leak? Be careful or you might get punished."
"Haha - do you think all the men in the world are like you? Loyal, dedicated, and conservative?"
Jima Roman curled her lips and said: "Besides, this is not a secret. There is no need to take any responsibility for saying this."
"You guys are having a blast—open-minded, that's what I mean."
Li Xuewu only said half of his words and emphasized and explained them, which made Maggie on the opposite side laugh.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "A lover is a lover, and a mistress is a mistress. Having a mistress does not mean being unfaithful to love, and not all lovers are in love."
Jima Roman took a sip of coffee, leaned back in her chair and said in a relaxed manner: "I'm in a foreign country, alone and can't sleep, so I have to find some fun."
"Fun? Tsk—"
Li Xuewu smiled slightly, without commenting, holding the teacup, he said: "It seems that Ms. Chantal is also an open-minded person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons best."
"No, actually she cares a lot and is very stingy. I told you, you should be able to see it."
Maggie Roman raised her eyebrows and said: "The reason I came to see you is not just because I want to see you."
"It's useless, just give up. I'm a serious person, but I don't have your kind of lover culture."
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I had planned to spend time with my family today, but work required it."
He moved the teacup and said, "If there is nothing else, I will arrange a second round of talks with Santaya."
"You're leaving now? Can't we have something else to talk about?"
Maggie looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Am I really not attractive to you?"
"No, you're almost making me faint!"
If Li Xuewu wants to say nice things, why not just open his mouth?
He stood up and said with a smile: "I think if I don't hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk."
“Hahaha! You’re so humorous!”
Gemma Roman stood up, shook his hand and said, "You won't teach me a word of Chinese anymore?"
"Of course! No problem!" Li Xuewu blinked and said, "I'll teach you a spoken expression to match the word I taught you last time. It also expresses surprise, but it must be said in an affirmative tone."
"Okay, what do you say next?"
Maggie Roman is not a fool. She can tell that Li Xuewu is not an honest man, so how could she use the words he taught her casually?
After I got back, I privately consulted the translator at the Foreign Affairs Embassy and decided not to use it indiscriminately.
But this did not prevent her from continuing to learn new vocabulary with Li Xuewu. She just thought that this man was quite interesting, more humorous than other Chinese men she had met, and his personality was much more open.
Li Xuewu pinched his fingers and taught her clearly: "Niubi~ Very good, great!"
-
"I heard that the French Foreign Affairs Commissioner is learning Chinese from you?"
In the reception room, Zhou Gancheng was wearing a suit and a tie, looking very formal.
Li Xuewu looked at him and asked with amusement, "Is this a special foreign affairs activity?"
"They are African visitors, and I went there just to help, but it can't be considered a foreign affairs activity."
Zhou Gancheng took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "Foreign affairs activities are all used to describe leaders."
"Aren't you the leader now—"
Li Xuewu gave him a joking look and raised his hand to signal Zhou Xiaobai to go out and close the door.
Zhou Xiaobai was fine. She closed the door, but did not go out. She walked back.
Zhou Gancheng couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Xuewu's stunned expression. He looked at Zhou Xiaobai who was pretending to be stupid and asked, "Comrade Xiaobai is also working here?"
"No, I'm here to learn."
Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said: "Listening to your conversation is very rewarding and it broadens my horizons."
"Hahaha--!"
Zhou Gancheng smiled heartily, waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I'm not a leader, especially in front of you, so let's sit together."
Li Xuewu was helpless with Zhou Xiaobai. He scratched his forehead and asked, "Have you completed the formalities? Have we arranged an office for you?"
"Well, the conditions are very good, even better than my working environment in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What a pity——"
Zhou Gancheng patted the armrest of the sofa gently and said, "It would be nice if I could work here forever."
"I thought so too, but I was afraid you wouldn't be willing to give it up!"
Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at him, then asked, "Isn't it possible that all the records of my conversation with the French Foreign Affairs and Cultural Attaché will be reported?"
"What do you think?"
Zhou Gancheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "Can you be a little serious? What the hell are you teaching her?"
He pinched the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "The translator came to me to complain, saying that your chatting is like walking by the river, and your shoes will get wet sooner or later."
"I wanted to have a serious chat, but I didn't meet anyone serious!"
Li Xuewu leaned on the sofa and said, "She was testing and seducing me. What if I didn't do this? Would I be feeding the tiger with my own body?"
"Don't even think about doing that with the Investigation Department. You guys should just be pure!"
"Why are we not pure?"
Hearing Li Xuewu's words, Zhou Gancheng was not happy and glared at him, "Don't judge others by your own standards. We are protecting you!"
"Think about it yourself, what did you say?"
"What did I say?"
Li Xuewu saw Zhou Gancheng's eyes drifting towards Zhou Xiaobai, and said speechlessly: "Do you believe those words?"
"I don't believe it, but I'm afraid someone will believe it!"
Zhou Gancheng reminded: "Be careful about your degree of communication in foreign affairs and don't say anything out loud."
Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't dwell on this issue any further as it was meaningless.
Just now when chatting with Jima Roman, she talked about her own work experience. Li Xuewu just listened for fun and didn't pay much attention.
However, this did attract the attention of the foreign affairs inspectors, especially the other party's provocative behavior.
Just after coming out of the restaurant, he saw Zhou Gancheng motioning to him to come over and chat.
What to talk about?
Talk about discipline, rules, and problems.
Foreign affairs work is so rigorous and troublesome, you really can't say whatever you want like Li Xuewu did.
When Zhou Gancheng saw that he stopped talking, he thought that he didn't understand and was angry.
Explained: "It's the same for us. Have you ever seen me fooling around with foreigners?"
"Understand, that's in private."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Besides, this woman is not right. She seems to have other purposes."
"Just so you know, don't take the bait!"
Zhou Gancheng reminded meaningfully: "He is fine, he just patted his butt and went back to his country, but you will have to put your whole life on the line."
"What do you mean? She is..."
Zhou Xiaobai knows the rules and usually won't speak when he's around Li Xuewu.
But at this moment she couldn't help but ask, because the situation was really too surprising.
Li Xuewu grabbed her hand, placed it on his leg and patted it, comforting her: "That's what you said."
After talking to her, he told Zhou Gancheng: "I have been suspicious since the first day we met. Since Chantal has connections with the Foreign Affairs Embassy, why would she go to such lengths? I didn't expect that she used me as a fish."
"Because your fish is so delicious——"
Zhou Gancheng narrowed his eyes and said: "They should have investigated your identity and background, including some of your relationships. There's nothing to be surprised about."
"Aren't they afraid that I'll eat the bait and spit out the hook, and then spray water all over their faces?"
Li Xuewu crossed his legs, with Zhou Xiaobai's hand on his legs. She did not pull her hand back, thinking it was more intimate this way, and even moved her body to sit closer.
Zhou Gancheng couldn't help but twitch his mouth when watching the interaction between the two. What are they doing? Can I see this? What should I say when Zhou Zhennan asks!
"What loss? A woman?"
He looked at his teacup and said, "At best, it's just a verbal fight in the conversation. What loss can there be? Compared with getting you, it's nothing."
"It's incomprehensible. Why?"
Li Xuewu frowned and said, "Just because of a woman with an open personality and beautiful appearance? You think I'm too worthless, don't you?"
"Why? You still want to appeal?"
Zhou Gancheng drooped his eyelids and said, "Are there not enough people who fall into women's traps? Or do you think they give too little?"
“I think they gave it too early!”
Li Xuewu took a sip of tea with amusement and said, "Shouldn't it be cooperation first, then slowly getting in touch, and finally an accident or a handle to catch them?"
"We haven't even discussed cooperation yet, but you're rushing to get in touch with me. Do you think I'm young and have no resistance?"
"It could mean two things. We still have to see whether the cooperation between the Santaya Group and your factory can be achieved."
Zhou Gancheng reminded seriously: "Of course, even if we reach a cooperation, such actions will definitely be inevitable in the future, and we will even give you better things."
"Cooperation is cooperation, but remember to distinguish the nature of the fundamental interests, and don't try to make money by doing anything and lose your original intention."
"You need to talk to our Director Li about this," Li Xuewu said jokingly, "What decisions can I, a deputy director, make, let alone talk about benefits."
"I'm just reminding you. It's up to you what you do." Zhou Gancheng stood up and said seriously, "The French definitely didn't choose you for no reason."
"If this time is unsuccessful, someone else will come next time, prettier, more attractive, and even with wads of cash and other stuff."
Zhou Gancheng tilted his head and said, "I believe you have loyalty and faith in the organization, but you must also be on guard against assholes like this around you."
He gestured to Zhou Xiaobai and said, "It's right for you to bring your female comrade with you every time you meet her. I hope you will always be pure and healthy."
"Thank you, I will—"
Li Xuewu pursed his lips and nodded seriously, saying: "Always pure, always healthy."
-
Li Xuewu didn't run away after all. He was held down in the lounge by Zhou Xiaobai and bitten a few times. The girl was going crazy, especially when she heard that someone was trying to seduce him.
I got into a verbal fight with Li Xuewu under the pretext of reporting the situation of Tianjin's seafood supply chain.
"You've just returned from Tianjin and you haven't gone home yet?"
When he heard that Zhou Xiaobai also stayed here last night and even wanted to take him upstairs to sit for a while, Li Xuewu asked with a smile: "Didn't you say you were coming back to accompany your parents?"
"My parents are not at home, who can I go with?" Zhou Xiaobai said confidently: "I can only accompany you, anyway, you can't leave!"
Staying in an international hotel costs at least one or two dollars a night. Does Zhou Xiaobai have the money to spend?
Of course, all the dividends and salary that Li Xuewu earned in the seafood supply chain went to her, and he never took it back.
Why not take it back and let Zhou Xiaobai grow wild and enjoy himself?
Because Li Xuewu had no intention of making money from this seafood supply chain.
All the money he wanted to earn had been earned through the recycling station distribution business, and the personal portion was deliberately given to Zhou Xiaobai for her to spend.
On the one hand, this girl likes new things, and her family will not give her too much money. Li Xuewu is willing to support her and cultivate her confidence in spending money.
Now at the age of eighteen, she dares to stay in international hotels, drink coffee, and eat seafood. Coupled with her status and growing knowledge, Li Xuewu is looking forward to what she will become in the future.
On the other hand, it is a bit complicated. It is a patch on the villa in Tianjin, which is the circle that Li Huaide put for him.
Since Li Huaide can set a trap for him, why can't he set a trap for Li in return?
This circle must not only be put on Lao Li, but also on the two people from the aquatic products company. Only in this way will Lao Li trust him and be willing to let him do it.
All the divided wages were given to their families, except Li Xuewu, who gave it to Zhou Xiaobai.
But it did not arouse their suspicion, instead they felt that it was reasonable.
Li Xuewu was young and romantic. Not only did he keep a wife and have a child with her in his villa, he also kept another wife, Zhou Xiaobai.
No one thinks that he and Zhou Xiaobai are innocent. They even slept in the same bed. How can they be innocent unless their identities are verified?
It was based on this that Old Li willingly handed over his handle to Li Xuewu.
If something happens to him one day and Li Xuewu’s connections don’t save him or even betray him, he will bring this connection to light and they will all die together.
Who will die? Li Xuewu will not die.
Checking the distribution relationship, it is found that the steel mill has a part in it. The recycling station is doing a legitimate business, so there is no interest involved.
If you want to investigate Li Xuewu, you must investigate Zhou Xiaobai. Go ahead and investigate as long as you are not afraid of death.
So now Zhou Xiaobai looks like Xiaobai, but in the future he will be Xiaohei, the Xiaohei whose face turns black when touched.
A dividend of more than 100 yuan a month is a considerable benefit to the other people, but it is nothing to Li Xuewu.
It is worth it to use this kind of money to support Zhou Xiaobai. When that day comes, Zhou Zhennan won't be able to blame him.
How to say?
The annual expenditure for their daughter is more than a thousand yuan, which is something even a family like theirs cannot afford.
Besides, Li Xuewu hasn't done anything yet, so it can't be considered as supporting someone. Li Xuewu is actually training Zhou Xiaobai, so what can he say?
So, Li Xuewu didn't feel bad at all for spending more than a hundred yuan a month on Zhou Xiaobai, and even encouraged her to spend the money on knife handles.
Drink more coffee, read foreign newspapers, learn foreign languages, exchange some foreign currency and go shopping at the Friendship Store. Girls should have confidence and knowledge.
If we really want to cultivate a new-age woman who is thoughtful, knowledgeable and confident, what kind of partner would she look for?
Li Xuewu's investments never suffer losses or go to waste. At best, it just depends on when to pull the hook back and how big the fish is.
Count how many big fish are tied to this hook.
"Can you arrange for me to do something serious?" Zhou Xiaobai looked at him pitifully while biting his steak and said, "I'm a bit bored in Tianjin."
"Huh? You're the general manager! How can you be bored? Didn't they ask you for instructions and report their work?"
Li Xuewu teased her and said, "This is totally wrong. This is undermining you. I will talk to them later and criticize them severely."
“Oh no—not really~”
Zhou Xiaobai said embarrassedly: "Those things are simple, like signing and so on. I mean I want to do something practical."
She thought for a moment and said, "Just like what Teacher Wu did, or what Yang Zhao did."
"That would be so degrading!"
Li Xuewu said brainlessly: "You are the general manager, you have to be in charge of the overall situation."
"Oh~ Stop coaxing me——"
Zhou Xiaobai shook his arm and said: "I knew you were teasing me. You gave me a general manager who can't do anything. It just sounds good."
"Don't be ungrateful for what you have. Not everyone can be the general manager!"
Li Xuewu teased her, then nodded and said, "I'll talk to Teacher Wu later. You can learn from her how to do your job."
"Well, okay! I'll try my best!"
Zhou Xiaobai smiled and nodded, assuring: "Teacher Wu is very knowledgeable, I will definitely study hard under her."
As she said this, she took out a green brocade bag from her backpack and handed it to Li Xuewu, saying, "Here's a gift for you, hehe..."
"Hehe - for me? What?"
Li Xuewu picked up the brocade bag and opened it to take a look. It turned out to be a jade seal, neither too big nor too small, very convenient to carry and use.
He took a moment to fiddle with it and took a look. The seal had already been engraved with his name on it.
"What is this? I don't recognize it!" Li Xuewu looked at the little animal squatting on the seal and asked, "Did you buy this antique? Did you get cheated?"
"You're such a killjoy! Who would lie to me?"
Zhou Xiaobai pouted and said: "I asked someone to buy this, he didn't dare to cheat me. I also asked someone to look at it, and he said it was an antique from the Qing Dynasty."
She pointed to the little animal on the seal and explained: "The person who carved the seal said this is a Xiezhi."
"So I came from ancient times, right?"
Li Xuewu raised his hand to show her with amusement, pointed to the bottom and said: "The original owner of this seal is also called Li Xuewu?"
"Of course not, I forgot what it was called," Zhou Xiaobai explained, "I asked the carving master to scrape off that person's name and carve your name instead."
"..."
Li Xuewu thought Zhou Xiaobai was joking. The square seal in his hand looked like a good thing.
As for Tian Huang, as long as it is confirmed to be a real antique, it must be valuable. But Zhou Xiaobai shoveled away the valuable evidence?!
This thing is an antique! The seal is determined by the amount and value. This girl is really ruthless and doesn't treat antiques as antiques.
Li Xuewu was just speechless now, unable to utter a word, and he could feel the sincerity of the heart.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Xiaobai asked nervously, "You don't like it?"
"No, I like it very much. It's so rare."
Li Xuewu fiddled with the seal in his hand and asked, "Why did you think of giving me a seal?"
"It's just that... your seal is made of rubber, so it doesn't look good. I thought..."
Zhou Xiaobai looked at Brother Wu's expression and it seemed that he had reacted and knew that he had done his job.
Li Xuewu smiled and raised the seal in his hand and said: "I dare not use this one you carved for me. It's too conspicuous."
"Besides, my rubber stamp has a defensive negative line, so this won't work."
"But thank you for your kindness. I will keep it as a collection and use it as a personal seal."
He put the seal back into the bag, and suddenly remembered something, and confirmed: "It's not from your father's collection, right?"
……
When leaving the International Hotel, Li Xuewu met an acquaintance, Erika Momotani, director of the Beijing office of Sanhe Corporation.
The other party was not alone. There was also a specialist from the British Foreign Affairs Embassy with him, who was introduced to him by Zhang Songying.
The two parties did not say hello, they just nodded and missed each other.
Zhang Songying saw him out and explained that Erika Momotani had been very active recently and had dealt with many staff members of the foreign affairs embassy.
In fact, even without her introducing Li Xuewu, she could probably guess which country he was from.
British men will begin to show their national characteristics when they reach a certain age.
However, he found Erika Momotani's actions funny, and now it would be fun to watch.
-
On Monday, the Wei San Regiment organized a convoy of trucks to go to the freight station to pick up the fertilizer.
I heard from the factory dispatcher that the container loaded with fertilizer was targeted as soon as it arrived at the port.
It was said that the secondment slip had been prepared and the container was about to be loaded, but it was detained by the people of the Wei San Regiment.
What is seized is not only the container, but also the person who issues the ticket and the person who transports the goods.
This is a big mess!
Li Xuewu had reminded Qi Yaowu earlier that the people from the Third Regiment of the Wei Army had estimated the time and had already arrived at the Jinmen Port terminal and were waiting there.
As soon as Li Xuewu made the call, the other side received the news and a platoon of people rushed in.
At this time, a shipload of fertilizers arrived at the port. Who wouldn’t be jealous?
But the fertilizers on the ship had already been taken away by the Beijing Supply and Marketing Cooperative. They were special transport materials and no one dared to borrow them at will.
But people at the port discovered that something had slipped through the net: two containers of 70 tons of fertilizer were still there.
We quickly contacted people here and sent a note for the secondment, and the dispatcher there started to transfer the containers.
But they were still late. The car hadn't even left the house when people from the Third Regiment of Wei arrived.
Just think about it, how old is the young platoon leader? Can he be polite to the old hand at the port?
One of the dispatchers was not convinced and did not allow them to go forward. He hit the man on the forehead with the butt of a rifle. The man who was kicked and hooked rolled on the ground, and no one dared to say a word.
From the people who were on secondment to the people who were responsible for transporting and receiving the goods, all of them were detained.
The people at the port tried to plead for mercy but it was useless, they couldn't even get close to us, this was really a big trouble.
Secondment sounds good, but there is a shortage of fertilizers everywhere at this time. I borrowed it from you and will return it to you when you don’t need to farm anymore. What can you say?
By the time the fertilizers have been snatched away and spread on the ground, can you still ask them to dig them out for you?
There is no way to fight this lawsuit, so I can only admit that I have bad luck.
But if this bad luck happened to someone else, they would just accept it. But if you are seconded to the port, who can you turn to?
But it doesn't work here with the Wei San Group. They don't catch those above or behind the scenes. All those who do the work are stuffed into containers and taken away without exception.
Li Xuewu had no idea what happened on Sunday, but the Jingu Port Office got the news. They also knew it was related to Li Xuewu, so they asked someone to inquire about it.
It's nonsense to transfer the call from the Jingu Port Office to the steel rolling mill and then find Li Xuewu.
Who would dare to call Li Xuewu’s home unless it was an emergency?
The situation at Jingu Port is urgent. What does it have to do with the steel mill? They would never call Li Xuewu.
However, as soon as he got to work, Peng Xiaoli reported the situation to him, saying that the dispatcher came to ask how to deal with it.
"I know how to handle this?"
Li Xuewu snorted and said while holding the teacup: "I don't know, just say I'm not here and let them find other connections."
"I guess I'll have to come find you."
Peng Xiaoli smiled and said: "Everyone is in the Third Regiment. The people from the port are chasing us, but they can't get in the gate. It's no use looking for the garrison area."
"Besides, they were unreasonable. I didn't even dare to shout loudly to explain. The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it."
He took Li Xuewu's teacup and refilled it with hot water, saying: "I guess Captain Qi's intention is to teach them a lesson and also to repay the steel rolling mill for a favor."
"Then let's stretch them a little more, so that they won't be so arrogant and disrespectful that they dare to borrow anyone's goods."
Li Xuewu said impatiently: "Since we are going to do it, let's do it thoroughly and let the Jingu Port Office also take advantage of it and get some benefits."
"I see. I'll go tell you right away."
Seeing that Li Xuewu agreed, Peng Xiaoli was about to leave, but then he remembered something and reminded him, "There's news from the commission's office that the coordination work with the city is difficult, and the unit is unwilling to relocate."
"Never mind that. This is the city's business now and has nothing to do with us." Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "It is no longer up to them to decide whether to demolish it or not."
This is true, because the profit division has already been agreed upon with the steel mills, those dozen or so factories have actually been fish on the chopping board for a long time.
How to cut it is not up to them. What they should do now is to clear the accounts and obey the arrangements.
The steel rolling mill will not act as a bad guy at this time. They will just do what they have to do. Anyway, the plan cannot be implemented and they still have the documents to ask for the land.
Peng Xiaoli had been gone for a short while when he reluctantly walked in with Gu Weijie.
There were a few people following behind them, whom Li Xuewu didn't quite recognize. They were all busy with lawsuits.
Seeing Peng Xiaoli's eyes rolling, Li Xuewu had already guessed who these people were.
Through Gu Weijie's introduction, Li Xuewu learned that these people were from the port, including a deputy director, a business director, and an office director.
"Oh, I finally see you—"
The deputy director’s surname was Cao. As soon as he came in, he shook Li Xuewu’s hand and greeted him warmly.
Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, asking them to sit on the sofa, and his attitude was very good.
"Deputy Director Cao and I are classmates, we were in the training class at the same school, and now he has come to see me."
Gu Weijie took the initiative to introduce: "It is said that he couldn't even find a way to pay his respects to the boss, and his head was covered with lumps."
"Oh, Comrade Weijie, you are absolutely right. I just bumped into a bump and got a lot of lumps on my head!"
Deputy Director Cao had a loud voice and spoke sincerely: "I begged and pleaded with everyone and finally found the right direction. Please don't be surprised."
"Yeah, I heard about it."
Since it was the person brought by Gu Weijie, Li Xuewu did not hide it and pretended not to know. He gestured to Peng Xiaoli and said, "Xiaoli told me this morning."
"Deputy Director Cao came yesterday, but he couldn't find any connection with the Third Regiment. He talked to the garrison and that made Qi Yaowu angry."
Gu Weijie smiled and said: "That's right, he contacted me last night, and I said we need to talk about this matter. After all, it's the weekend and we all need to rest."
"You may not know about this batch of fertilizers. I contacted a friend to transfer them specifically for the Wei San Regiment Reclamation Area. The people on the mountain are waiting for the fertilizers to be dropped."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "Don't blame Captain Qi for being angry. Anyone would be angry if this happened to them. I feel uncomfortable just listening to it."
He said very bluntly: "Today we can transfer fertilizer from the Weisan Regiment. Will the goods from the steel mill be transferred tomorrow as well?"
"If the people of the Wei San Regiment get angry and dare to arrest people, do you believe me if I get angry and dare to kill people?"
