Chapter 1109 Kind-hearted Li Xuewu
"Come on, come on—"
In the morning, Li Shu lay on the floor, swinging a rattle and playing with Li Ning.
Li Ning never took his eyes off the young lady, and looked at her curiously with his fingers in his mouth.
Liu Yin used elastic bands and white gauze to make a diaper bag for Li Ning, and was now helping her grandson put it on.
"Look, it fits perfectly—"
"Grandma! Why can't my brother crawl?"
Li Shu saw her brother stretching out his little hand to reach the rattle in her hand, but he just lay there.
"I, I can walk and I can run, why can't my brother do that?"
"Because you are the older sister, you are older than your brother. You can lie down at the beginning, sit up at the end, and crawl at the end. It will take your brother several more months to learn how to crawl and walk."
Liu Yin grinded her teeth with her granddaughter while smiling. She tapped the tip of Li Shu's nose and said, "Didn't you also learn to walk little by little when you were a child?"
"I-I don't think I'm--!"
Li Shu handed the rattle in her hand to her brother and sat aside to explain: "I just, I just learned to walk all of a sudden."
"Okay, okay, my eldest granddaughter is Nezha, she can run and fly since she was born—"
Liu Yin changed her grandson's diaper and took the rattle that his grandson was chewing on, which was still covered with saliva.
"My brother is still young. He can't play with big toys. Just give him a pacifier."
"Ah, my brother, why does he eat everything?"
Li Shu shook her head in disgust and helplessness, crawled to her feet, ran to the coffee table, found the pacifier, and stuffed it into her brother's mouth.
"I don't eat anything. It's so dirty."
"My brother is still young and doesn't know yet. As the older sister, you should teach him to be hygienic, love labor, and love studying, okay?"
Liu Yin saw her son coming down from upstairs and motioned for him to come over to help. She said with emotion, "If my grandson grows faster, grandma won't be able to hold him anymore."
"Gained weight again?"
Li Xuewu had been awake for a while, but he was too lazy to get up after tossing and turning in the middle of the night.
When Gu Ning took the child out in the morning, he was still asleep, so he was able to hold his son now.
He shook the fat boy in his arms and said with a smile, "It must be about 17 or 18 kilograms, right?"
"Seventeen and a half pounds, just weighed the other day."
Liu Yin smiled and said, "I didn't give you anything delicious, so how come you're so fat?"
She stood up with the help of the sofa, gently patted her grandson's big butt, and said, "He's fatter than your father when he was a child, and he's better looking."
"Me too--!"
Li Shu learned to compare. When adults praised Li Ning, she also wanted to say that she had what she had.
This is the jealousy and competitive spirit of children, which is normal. Don't blame, don't scare, and don't suppress or belittle them, as it will cause psychological harm.
"We won't learn from our younger brother. If he grows up to be a fat boy——"
Li Xuewu bent down and picked up his daughter, looking at her giggling, teasing her and saying, "Li Shu wants to be like her mother when she grows up, tall and beautiful."
"Hey, boss, you're really good at talking." Qin Jingru came back from outside, holding a handful of cabbage in her hand, and said jokingly, "You praised both women in your family in one sentence, but aren't you afraid that Aunt Liu will be angry?"
"Why am I angry——"
Liu Yin smiled and glanced at her son, saying, "People always say that when a man marries a wife, he forgets his mother. I am the one who has been forgotten now."
"Okay, Jingru, you're good at saving the fire," Li Xuewu said to Qin Jingru who had just entered the restaurant, smiling, "When there's a fight at home, don't hide. Let's see who you'll pull apart."
"Hey - I'm not holding anyone back!"
Qin Jingru's voice came from the kitchen. She smiled and said, "People say that the Li family has a good family tradition. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law never get angry or awkward. Isn't it a good opportunity for me to watch the fun?"
"Who told you that we don't get angry or hit people in our family? You just didn't catch up with the time—"
Li Xuewu pinched his son's buttocks, and walked around the house with his daughter and son in his arms, laughing and saying, "When I was a child, my father would make me angry, not to mention getting angry, and he would beat me so hard—"
"Son, do you hear me? If you make your dad angry, he will learn from your grandfather."
He really slapped his son's big butt a few times, as if to remind him.
Li Shu hugged her father's neck, looked at her brother's dazed look, covered her mouth and giggled, as if she had never been beaten.
But Li Xuewu has never hit the child. Look, Li Shushi is almost two years old and gets into trouble every day, but he just talks and never does anything.
Fortunately, the couple's way and method of educating their children is temporarily effective. Although Li Shu is naughty, it is also the playfulness and innocence of a child.
Li Shu still remembers the tulip that was damaged before she went on a business trip.
The tulips in the vase had withered, so Gu Ning taught her how to bury the flowers in the pot. He also showed her the new buds growing on the roots of the tulips, which were new flowers.
In the morning, Gu Ning told him that Li Shu never destroyed the flowers and plants at home again.
She used to throw cars and other things into the flowerpots, but now she doesn't do that, nor does she bury toys in them and wait for new toys to grow. Qin Jingru even squats by the side and watches when she waters the flowers.
How difficult is it to raise a child?
If you want her future to blossom like a flower, don't ignore and treat her like a weed as she grows up.
-
"Shall we go back to the courtyard tonight?"
After breakfast, Li Xuewu changed his leather shoes in the hallway and gave a word to Gu Ning who was also getting ready to go to work.
Gu Ning raised her head and looked at him, then asked softly, "Mom, are you missing home?"
In fact, she knew what Li Xuewu said without looking back, and her mother-in-law must be looking at this side nervously and expectantly.
In order to take care of them, my mother-in-law has been living here for almost two months.
Although I go back home often, I am still worried about my mother at home.
Especially the old lady, who is old and has to help Zhao Yafang take care of the children. As a daughter-in-law, how can she not care about her?
Liu Yin is a daughter-in-law and cares about the old lady. As a daughter-in-law, Gu Ning also has to care about her mother-in-law.
So, without waiting for Li Xuewu to answer, he nodded and said, "I'll be back early in the evening. Do you want to buy some fruit or something?"
"Stop it, you two are busy at work and you're both exhausted. Let's talk about it next week. It's the weekend so you can have a good rest at home."
When Liu Yin heard her daughter-in-law's answer, she felt sweet in her heart, but she still felt sorry for her son and daughter-in-law.
My son just came back from a business trip and has to go back to work. My daughter-in-law is in the hospital every day. Now they are short of staff and all the surgeries are scheduled.
They are all backbones of the unit, and they have to take care of the children at home. It is really hard work. We can't send them back just because she misses home.
The children are too young now. Although we are all in the city, it is too noisy and troublesome to go back and forth with so many bags.
"Then buy some fruit." Li Xuewu walked to the door of the restaurant and said to Qin Jingru, "Let's go to the market today and buy some fresh fruit. Pick a few more. If you go back, clean up in advance."
"Oh, right--"
Before his mother could refuse and Qin Jingru could respond, Li Xuewu reminded her, "Find one or two sets and store them in the courtyard. From now on, as long as the weather permits, we can go back every week."
"It's too much trouble. Please stop it. Xiao Ning can't stand going back every week."
Liu Yin waved her hand and refused, "You guys should go to work now. We can talk about going home later. When we are free, Jingru and I will take the child and take the bus back."
"In the evening, we'll go back after I get off work. I'll talk to Zhuzi about lunch and ask him to get off work early and prepare dinner for us."
Li Xuewu patted his mother on the back and said to her with a smile: "Even if you don't miss your grandson, he misses you too."
"Go ahead, he'll miss me--"
Liu Yin jokingly pushed her son to go to work quickly, and at the same time reminded Gu Ning to remember to come back on time for lunch.
In order to provide nutritional supplements for her daughter-in-law, Liu Yin is very attentive. She thinks about how to make each of the three meals a day delicious and nutritious.
In her words, "Why am I here? I am here to take care of my grandson and my daughter-in-law."
-
Seeing her sending her son and daughter-in-law back, Qin Jingru, who was coaxing the child, smiled and teased her, "Look at you, you almost raise your daughter-in-law as your own daughter. I am so envious and jealous."
"Why are you jealous? Isn't your mother-in-law treating you the same way?"
Liu Yin tidied up the teacups and newspapers on the coffee table with a smile, and said, "You may think that martial arts students are laughing and making noises all day long, but in fact, they are under a lot of pressure. They wish that the 24 hours in a day could be divided into 48 hours."
"If you take advantage of youth at work, you will have to bear the guilt of being young and in a high position."
She walked back and picked up the book that Li Xuewu had read halfway, put a bookmark on it, and put it in the file compartment under the coffee table.
Qin Jingru sat on the floor, hugged Li Ning and let him bounce on the floor with his calves, and echoed: "It can be seen that Brother Wu is the most considerate of his family. I rarely see him bring work home, and rarely see people call home or come to visit."
She turned around, leaned against the sofa and said, "There are quite a few cadres living on this street. I've seen them several times. Some of them came to visit secretly with gifts. They were sneaky and shabby."
"We don't do that, and we don't care about that." Liu Yin shook her head and said seriously, "His father and I never thought he would be successful. Now that he has succeeded, we can't hold him back and watch him become bad again."
"It's just the same. As a parent, how can I not feel sorry for my son?"
Liu Yin said with emotion: "If you see him not bringing work home, it means he is busy with work at the company. It is hard to say how hard it is for him to do this."
"When his father came back last time, he said that he shouldn't be so busy. There are always work breaks, and he has to bear it all by himself. People will talk about him behind his back, and it will be tiring for him too."
"Jiankun did mention to me that not everyone can take on this job and be responsible for it."
Qin Jingru held Li Ning on her lap and coaxed Li Shu to play with a doll. She said, "It seems that Red Star Factory has launched many large projects. It's easy to find a project leader, but it takes a capable person to take the helm to be in charge and coordinate."
"Hey~ Life is hard for everyone, how can he be so capable that he won't work without the factory?"
When Liu Yin heard Qin Jingru say this, she was naturally happy and pleased that her son had achieved success in his career, but she expressed her concern for her son's health.
"When you are young, you won't see any signs of physical injury, but when you are old, you will be full of illnesses."
She tidied up the living room, sat on the sofa, pounded her knees and said, "That couple, one talks a lot, the other talks less, one can talk, the other can't, but their personalities and tempers are the same."
"You are talking about Brother Wu and Sister Xiao Ning——"
Qin Jingru smiled and said, "I think the two of them always talk things out in a nice way. I've been here for such a long time and I've never seen them quarreling."
"Sometimes I even have to yell at Han Jiankun. Han Jiankun also has his bad tempers sometimes, kicking and throbbing like crazy."
"They are all worried and keep everything to themselves. It's good for me and his father, but we are worried about this."
Liu Yin shook her head slightly and said, "In the past, we used to complain about the child making a fuss when he got into trouble, but now he has suddenly become mature and sensible, and we are afraid that he will be suppressed."
"Ugh--"
She sighed and said, "You think I raise Xiao Ning as my daughter, but look at Xiao Ning's personality. If she is wronged."
"Sister Xiao Ning didn't say anything even though she was wronged."
Qin Jingru curled her lips and said, "I heard that in the past, there were always people who grumbled about her in the department. Isn't this just being wronged?"
"Well, with her temper, which mother-in-law would be willing to let her suffer?"
Liu Yin smiled and said, "I don't know what others think or say, but I know that the three daughters-in-law in our family are all excellent, and I am very satisfied with them."
"Look at what you said, just the elder sister-in-law, Xiao Ning sister, and Yuxiu, any one of them would be half a block better than the others."
Qin Jingru joked: "I have lost all my confidence. I feel I can't compare to you."
"You are also good in character."
Liu Yin looked at her with a smile and said, "I have never expected my daughter-in-law to be successful. As long as the family is harmonious, I will be satisfied."
"What do we need to know about family harmony? It's up to us as elders to achieve it, and the daughters-in-law need to have a good character and a good temper."
She nodded at Qin Jingru and said, "As long as you treat your mother-in-law well, she will treat you well. Your personality determines this."
"My mother-in-law is just like you, she is rare in her open-mindedness and considerate of others."
Qin Jingru thought about her family's affairs, touched Li Ning's little face, and said, "I shouted to Han Jiankun, but she only talked about him when she saw it, not me. I couldn't shout anymore if I wanted to."
"I don't mean to bully Han Jiankun, it's just that sometimes, this guy is stubborn and weak."
She felt angry and amused when she talked about this: "Here he does whatever you ask him to do without a second thought, but when he gets home, he's like a donkey in a harness, braying for everything he does."
"When I ask him to fold the quilt in the morning, he will keep nagging until he washes his face."
"Hahaha--"
Liu Yin couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Han Jiankun, who was always quiet and focused on his work, becoming a chatterbox at home.
"Hearing you say that, I couldn't believe it. You looked so deep and cautious."
"Him? He just pretends to be deep outside—"
Qin Jingru smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is so annoyed. She says her mouth is like a rented one. She is more nagging than an 80-year-old lady."
"Ha ha ha ha--!"
-
"I'm sorry, Li-san, I'm here to apologize to you, I'm sorry--!"
Li Xuewu just came from Li Huaide's office, and they had a small meeting.
As soon as I entered the reception room, I saw Nakamura Hideji, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, standing up from the sofa and bowing 90 degrees to apologize.
I have to say, this kid really looked very stylish when he apologized.
Look at this bow and these words of apology, how touching it would be for people who don’t know.
Those who know will of course understand that the little devils will only be so active and sincere if they have done something wrong and you have the evidence against them.
"What is this for? Come on, Mr. Nakamura, please sit down."
Li Xuewu gave Nakamura Hideji a virtual support, then looked at the young men beside him who had also bowed and were standing cautiously.
Nakamura Shuji bent over and said sincerely, "If it weren't for Tao Gu's life, I really don't have the face to stand here and apologize to you. I am extremely ashamed."
"Okay, let's talk slowly, since things have already happened."
Li Xuewu sat on the sofa, waved his hands at the others, and said, "Although our leader is also very angry, I am here to solve this problem."
"I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Nakamura Hideji apologized again, then raised his hand and introduced Li Xuewu: "Please allow me to introduce my colleague who came with me this time."
"This is Tanakura Heiji, who will be replacing Momotani as the head of the Sanhe United Corporation's office in Beijing."
He motioned for the other party to bow in front of Li Xuewu. Seeing Li Xuewu reaching out his hand to shake hands with Gu Cang, he continued to introduce: "Gu Cang is the planner within our company. His identity and background are reliable. Don't worry—"
"Well, I'm relieved—"
Li Xuewu nodded, looked at Tankura Heiji and said, "In fact, I think Miss Momotani Erika is also very reliable and reassuring."
"I'm so sorry - Li-san!"
When Nakamura Hideji heard him say this, he once again led these people to bow to Li Xuewu.
The secretaries who came in to serve tea looked at Li Xuewu sitting on the sofa. These foreign businessmen bowed respectfully to Deputy Director Li and were almost frightened to the point of dropping the thermos in their hands.
"I understand, Mr. Nakamura."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I have no intention of humiliating you, but the impact of this matter is too great. I am very worried about our cooperation."
He pointed at Tanakura Heiji and said, "You said he is reliable, do I have any reason to doubt that he also came to the mainland with a purpose and mission?"
"Please rest assured—"
Tankura Heiji bowed low and said sincerely: "During the period when I am in charge of the office, I am willing to accept any supervision from your company out of the necessity of cooperation!"
Li Xuewu looked at him and nodded. He said nothing more and looked at the other three people.
Hideji Nakamura stood aside obediently, waiting for Heiji Tanakura to get Li Xuewu's approval, then he signaled the three female employees around him in professional suits to come forward.
He took the initiative to introduce: "This is Ms. Yua Mikami, Ms. Seiko Takahashi, and Ms. Tsumugi Akari. They will serve as staff members of the office and will be responsible for the operation of the office together with Tanakura."
"It's our first meeting, please take care of me!"
The three of them stepped forward together, clenched their hands, bent over and bowed, or rather, showed their strength to Li Xuewu.
You know what, these three people are quite fierce.
"Expanding the team?"
Li Xuewu waved his hand, indicating that they could get up, then pointed to the sofa on the side and asked them to sit down.
When Nakamura Hideji saw that Li Xuewu did not criticize him as harshly as he did to Tankura Heiji, he knew that Li Sang was a good man who was kind and gentle to women.
This also proves that when he was discussing the organizational personnel for the Beijing office with Kenichi Nishida and Kazunari Ninomiya, he was right to suggest arranging three people in addition to Amber Tanakura Heiji.
At his signal, Tanakura Heiji sat on his left, and Mikami Yua and Takahashi Seiko sat on Tanakura Heiji's left.
Only Akari Tsumugi was left, sitting in the seat that Li Xuewu had reserved for Tanakura Heiji.
In this way, Ming Lizhu sat next to Li Xuewu, and a warm fragrance like jade came over, as if there was sunshine in the reception room.
After all, it has to be the little kid who can come up with so many tricks. You just watch him give orders casually, and his wolfish ambitions are obvious.
"Mr. Li, our cooperation and business development will soon be on track," Nakamura Shuji explained, "Even if the Taogu incident hadn't happened, we would have to improve the Beijing office."
"We all three parties attach great importance to the cooperation with Red Star Factory. We don't want to see such a thing happen."
He said sincerely: "To show our sincerity, we sincerely hope that you can give us valuable opinions and suggestions to help us improve the cooperation service structure and ensure the smooth progress of cooperation."
"Well, I guess I have issues with this collaboration, and it's not just me."
Li Xuewu waited for him to finish speaking, paused, and said seriously: "Because of your serious mistake, a misunderstanding has occurred between the two of us."
"Now, not only the factory leaders have opinions and doubts about this cooperation, but even other relevant departments have opinions about our cooperation."
"I believe Mr. Nakamura understands what I mean."
"I understand, Li-san, it's our fault."
This was not the first time that Nakamura Hideji had come to the mainland, and he particularly understood the weight and meaning of the relevant departments that Li Xuewu mentioned.
It sounds mysterious to you, but in fact you can associate it with the fact that anyone who can handle this matter is called the relevant department.
"You just mentioned that you don't want this to happen. I feel the same way."
Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "I get along very well with Miss Taogu, and I trust her to complete the communication and cooperation between us."
"But when I heard the news that she was injured here, I couldn't accept it."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li," Nakamura Hideji nodded and said, "I know that our mistake has caused a lot of trouble for you and Red Star Factory."
"If possible, we are willing to offer compensation to save this cooperation."
"It's compensation—!"
Li Xuewu narrowed his left eye and tapped the armrest of the sofa with his finger, not paying attention to Ming Li Tsumugi who was blinking and flirting with him.
He stressed seriously: "You should make due compensation for this mistake and wrong decision. I hope you think so."
"I'm sorry, Li-san..."
Nakamura Hideji looked at Li Xuewu in embarrassment and asked, "Excuse me, do you have any opinion on my statement? I mean compensation..."
"Compensation, that's beyond doubt."
Li Xuewu knew he was playing word games, but he emphasized clearly: "You must be responsible for the impact caused by Miss Taogu in this cooperation and make compensation."
He waved his hand and said, "Mr. Nakamura, you should believe me. Our factory has great trust and importance in cooperating with the electronics factory."
"When I received your call, I was accompanying Director Li of the Red Star Factory on a survey in Gangcheng, focusing on the construction of the electronic and electrical appliance factory."
"We are extremely optimistic and looking forward to future cooperation, and hope that this cooperation will bring tangible benefits and development to both of us."
"but--!"
Li Xuewu suppressed his tone and said, "After Miss Taogu got into trouble, we had no choice but to stop our research work immediately and rush back."
"We are worried that the cooperation with the electronics factory will be terminated, and we are even more worried that Miss Taogu will encounter any uncontrollable accidents here."
"I'm so sorry. It was our fault in selecting and employing the right people. We should be punished."
Hideji Nakamura knew that if he continued to dwell on this issue, it would only cause Li Xuewu to be disgusted.
He said frankly: "I also very much hope that this incident will not cause any trouble to our cooperation."
"I want you to think that—"
Li Xuewu looked at him and nodded, saying, "You can discuss this matter with others after you go back and see how to solve it appropriately."
He stood up, took the initiative to extend his hand, shook hands with Nakamura Shuji who took his hand with both hands, and said: "I hope we can continue to be friends."
"My secretary will take you to the International Hotel, but you should meet Miss Taogu first."
"Thank you, Li-san!"
Hideji Nakamura bowed sincerely towards Li Xuewu's back.
Just now he wanted to suggest meeting Tao Gu, but he was afraid that Li Xuewu would get angry and use him as a threat.
But now, Li Xuewu's uprightness makes him look petty.
Although Li Xuewu showed a more serious and critical side in the conversation just now, to be honest, Nakamura Hideji was really afraid that he would get angry. After all, everyone would be angry if they encountered such a thing.
I knew that this time when I came to the mainland, it would be very difficult to resolve this matter, especially because I had to get past Li Xuewu.
The instructions given to him by the country were that this matter must not be allowed to escalate or mutate, and must be kept within the scope of business dealings and accidents.
In other words, it must be resolved through commercial means, and he must find a way.
Li Xuewu did not beat around the bush and told him directly that he wanted compensation.
Yes, compensation and indemnity have different meanings and have different levels of intensity in the subsequent negotiations.
Li Xuewu had received the news a long time ago, but he only met him once today. After expressing his attitude and requirements, he allowed him to meet Taogu.
He could not show any joy, he just felt like a mountain was pressing down on him.
They were not afraid that he would arrange for Taogu to have an accident in the mainland, nor were they afraid that he would bring people to play tricks, and they even made it clear what the cooperation projects would be.
Don't bring up the cooperation project. If he dares to use the cooperation project to make implicit threats again, Li Xuewu will fight him to the death.
The technology and equipment for the electronic and electrical projects have already arrived in Gangcheng. Even if he withdraws all the technical engineers now, the Red Star Factory can still receive and use the equipment.
By then, who knows how many foreign companies will come to continue cooperating with the electronics and electrical factory.
They were the ones who broke the contract first, so they won't get any compensation or damages. They really lost both the wife and the army.
So, what price does he need to pay to satisfy the Red Star Factory and the exorbitant Li Xuewu?
-
"Mr. Nakamura—what should we do?"
After coming out of the Red Star Factory and getting on the car, the youngest one, Tsumugi Akari, finally lost his patience and asked.
"Hello, please drive." Nakamura Shuji first signaled the driver to drive, then turned his head and looked at Mingli Tsumugi and said in Japanese: "Please remember my words, Miss Mingli, if you can win his favor, I will help you buy an apartment in Tokyo, you can choose any place."
"President Nakamura, if I can also gain the favor of Mr. Li..."
Just as Nakamura Shuji finished speaking, Mikami Yua, who was sitting next to Akari Tsumugi, asked expectantly, "Can I get your reward, too?"
"Of course, it all depends on one's own ability."
Nakamura Shuji nodded seriously and said, "If you can make him fall deeply into your charm, I will not be stingy with rewards whether you live here or return to Tokyo."
"But don't let my words confuse you. He is not a man you can confuse by taking off his clothes. He is a fierce and wise tiger, and a man-eating tiger."
"What you said is too horrible—"
Tsumugi Akari and Yua Mikami in the back seat looked at each other and both felt that the president's words were a bit exaggerated.
I just met Mr. Li. Although he looks fierce, he speaks very elegantly and kindly, as if he is very knowledgeable.
They were all sure that the president would not lie.
However, it was still difficult for the two to imagine in their hearts how vicious the other was.
You don't like killing people, do you?
This is too ridiculous. How could such a gentle and polite person be described as ferocious?
“It’s actually pretty good to live here.”
Looking at the clean streets, the not-so-bustling city, the lush and neatly planted greenery, Yua Mikami said, "At least it's cooler and more comfortable than Tokyo."
"I've never been abroad," said Tsumugi Akari, who just graduated from college, looking at the scenery outside the car window. "This place is not quite what I expected, but I can't tell where it's different."
"If the cooperation project goes smoothly," Nakamura Shuji turned around and looked at the two and said, "I hope you can stick to it, even if you fail to complete my special mission."
"The cooperation project between Sanhe Corporation and Red Star Factory is very large and important. In the future, the office here will definitely expand and even establish a branch, as long as you can stick with it."
Nakamura Hideji said earnestly: "The more you understand the situation in the mainland and the more you understand economic exchanges with the mainland, the brighter your future will be."
"President Nakamura, will we formally establish international relations with the mainland?"
Tsumugi Akari studied international relations at school, and she was very curious about this.
"I know that the trade between the two countries is very frequent, and there is cooperation and exchange in economic and industrial construction, which is already a prerequisite for normal international relations."
"Of course, I firmly believe this," Nakamura Shuji looked at Mingli Tsumugi and said, "I admire your keen sense of smell and awareness."
"You should stay here and get more familiar with it. In a few years, the two countries will surely achieve normal international exchanges and relations. By then, you will be a witness to history and the times."
“What can we gain if we become witnesses of history and the times?”
Yua Mikami pursed her lips and said, "I really can't imagine what it will be like to work and live here in the next few years?"
"Then use your brain to think carefully." Nakamura Hideji glanced at the fierce Mikami Yua behind him. This girl has long been accustomed to another kind of advantage and has forgotten that she still has a brain.
"Just like the first person to try something new, whoever gains the right to speak on trade and communication will gain the right to lead and control trade in the future."
Nakamura Hideji nodded at the two and said, "I hope you can grow up to become experts in trade with China here, and hope to see you on a bigger international stage."
“What does this require?”
Mikami Yua was interested in becoming famous, and asked curiously, "Is it enough to just get the favor of Mr. Li?"
Nakamura Shuji: …
-
"How did the Japanese business representatives deal with it?"
Gu Weijie came out of the canteen and saw Li Xuewu standing under a big tree talking to Master He from the canteen, so she walked over to ask.
When Sha Zhu saw his leader coming, he smiled and said hello, "Hello, Deputy Director Gu. You guys can chat while I go back to work."
When he left, he signaled to Li Xuewu, "Come earlier in the evening. I'll wait for you to come and cook the food. Goodbye, Deputy Director Gu."
"Are you neighbors in the same courtyard?"
Gu Weijie looked at the smiling Sha Zhu, turned around to look at Li Xuewu, and said, "I think I heard someone mention it before."
"Who can mention me in front of you?"
Li Xuewu laughed and said, "I left Director Li this morning and was blocked by Deputy Director Ao to meet with the Japanese business representative. What a guy."
He raised three fingers and said exaggeratedly: "Three beautiful girls surrounded me, as if they were afraid that I was determined. They tested me for more than ten minutes."
"Are you still afraid of this kind of test?"
Gu Weijie looked at him with a smile and asked, "How did you negotiate? Didn't he get scared away by your offer?"
"No matter how I look at it, it seems like they came with bad intentions, but they are running away in panic."
"Don't think so—"
Li Xuewu waved his hands and said jokingly, "I am a gentleman of unpolished jade and pure gold. Look at me, I have such a kind face, how could I do something that would embarrass others?"
"I just presented the facts and reasoned with them, and explained the interests involved in this matter. If anyone knows anything, they should think for themselves and take the initiative to make compensation!"
"Hmm-really? Let me see?"
Gu Weijie also looked at Li Xuewu carefully, as if jokingly, and nodded, saying, "What are you talking about, unpolished jade and pure gold, gentlemen and kind-hearted people? Why don't I see any of them?"
"Hey! Take a closer look!"
Li Xuewu tried his best to give her a brilliant smile, as kind as possible.
Gu Weijie smiled and dodged, pointing at him and reminding him: "I remind you, never smile at people like this again, the timid ones will be scared to tears."
"No one is as shabby as you—"
Li Xuewu had a quarrel with Gu Weijie, and when he saw He Yushui coming out of the canteen with a lunch box, he waved and motioned her to come over.
He Yushui pouted, walked over like a gas bag, and asked unhappily, "What?"
"How much hatred, how much resentment?"
Li Xuewu looked at her and said with a smile: "As for that, are you unable to let me go? Or are you unwilling to give up? We are not going to lose our relationship and become enemies, right?"
"Li Xuewu, are you too narcissistic?"
He Yushui glared at him angrily and said, "So I, He Yushui, can only hang myself on you, right? Without you, I won't be able to find a partner, right?"
"I'm so lowly that I have to stick to you, lean on you, and let you despise me, right?" She said this angrily at first, but her voice became lower and lower, and tears fell down. In the end, she couldn't continue.
"I've failed you, okay? If you feel uncomfortable, just scold me a few more times."
Li Xuewu handed over the handkerchief and said, "We all grew up together. Don't say that you are angry with me because of this. Even if we see each other every day and you yell at me a few times, I will have to endure it."
When He Yushui heard what he said, she took the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"I didn't mean to pick a fight with you, and I didn't want to yell at you. I just felt uncomfortable."
"I understand, I understand. I fully understand the pain in your heart. Really, I understand it very well."
Li Xuewu nodded and said sincerely: "After all, such an excellent man is standing in front of me. I really like him, but he is out of reach. I can't catch him even if I try to catch him. Anyone would feel uncomfortable, and I feel even more uncomfortable if it's me."
“Li Xuewu——!”
Yu Shui didn't even bother to wipe away her tears. She raised her head and glared at Li Xuewu, asking angrily and amusedly, "Are you here to comfort me?"
"That's right! I'm here to comfort you! Otherwise, why would I be waiting here?"
Li Xuewu reached out and patted her arm, saying with understanding: "I also had a girl I liked before, and she lived in our courtyard."
"Tall, slim, good-looking, and eloquent." He gestured with his hands to describe her, and said with emotion: "I like her very much, but she never looks at me straight in the eye. Do you think I understand the pain in your heart?"
"Your yard? Are you talking about our big yard?" Yu Shui wiped her tears and asked, "Are you talking about the front yard or the back yard?"
"She's from our compound. If I tell you, you might know her." Li Xuewu curled his lips, got closer to Yu Shui, and said mysteriously, "Her brother is a cook..."
“Li Xuewu——!”
He Yushui knew she was being fooled, so she pushed him away, pouted, and asked angrily, "I'm easy to fool, right?"
"You're pretty cute—"
Li Xuewu looked at her and smiled, patted her arm and said, "Be good to each other, it's a lifetime together anyway, it doesn't matter who you live with."
"Don't think about me anymore. I'm the man you'll never get."
"Whose brother are you?"
He Yushui was so angry that he chased after him and wanted to hit him, but after taking two steps he stopped again.
"Li Xuewu, what you just said, is it true?"
"What really? Oh, you're asking about that—"
Li Xuewu turned around and looked at her, nodded and said, "Her brother is indeed a cook."
