Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Five hundred rifles I can understand"

Xue Zhifu knocked on the table and said doubtfully: "Compared to the profitability of rifles, cars and..."

He turned his hands and spread them out, paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "Why do you need to package and purchase?"

“Because of cost savings, including procurement, packaging, transportation, etc.”

Jing Yunong replied for Li Xuewu: "In our opinion, these are just a few more processes."

"but!"

She nodded and explained: "When the goods are shipped out of the warehouse, they need to be repackaged and transported inland. It is not a simple procedural issue."

"Is such that"

Li Xuewu nodded and affirmed: "The control of weapons and ammunition does not allow secondary disassembly and transportation. They must be packed on board in the original packaging."

"Also, regarding hardware and kitchenware, there may be discounts when entering customs at the port."

He shook his head in amusement and said: "The other party doesn't care about the customs clearance procedures in the mainland, because this is not recognized in the international trade market."

"So he wants to take advantage of the loophole?"

Xue Zhifu said in surprise: "Separate and package weapons and ammunition into cans and farm tools?"

"How can this be done!"

He frowned a little and reminded: "This will affect our credit. We will eventually go abroad in the future."

"Yeah, of course it won't work."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "So I told Art that we can't do this, but we will introduce others to help him do it."

"Investigation Department?"

Gu Weijie raised her eyebrows. There was no need to guess this answer. Li Xuewu had already mentioned it.

When it comes to shedding wool, of course you have to catch a sheep and you can do it.

Li Xuewu looked at her and didn't give a specific answer, but continued to answer the question just now.

"Because the customs clearance procedures in the mainland are not recognized by international trade, I am going to ask someone to help Art go through the customs clearance procedures in the port city."

He looked at everyone and explained: "The goods will not get off the ship, but they will have to go around the port city. All problems have been solved."

Jing Yunong raised his head slightly, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked: "So the funds are also..."

"Arrived at Oriental Times Bank in Hong Kong City"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Customs clearance from the mainland only deals with trading companies in port cities. It belongs to contract processing or centralized procurement, but it does not include weapons and ammunition."

He emphasized: "In this part, we only admit that the investigation department transferred a batch of firearms for experiments in various environments during multi-party cooperation."

"Understood, money, accounts and goods are separated, even all procedures and goods are separated."

Jing Yunong tapped his fingers on the table, looked at Li Huaide, nodded and said, "I don't see any more risks."

"I still want to ask about those thousand cars."

Xue Zhifu said with great concern: "The British business representatives seem to be interested in purchasing cars, but they have not reached an agreement."

“Actually, this has something to do with package purchasing.”

Li Xuewu opened the document in front of him and explained: "I proposed a unit price of 15,000 when quoting the firearm purchase, but Art did not agree."

Everyone's hearts tightened and they all grinned. They knew that Li Xuewu was shady and ruthless when negotiating with foreign countries, but they didn't expect him to be so shady and ruthless.

I was shocked when I just heard him talk about the unit price of purchasing firearms as five thousand US dollars. I didn't expect his asking price to be so high.

"The purchase quantity he reported to me was only 500 pieces, and he would not increase it any more, so we were in a stalemate."

Li Xuewu smiled and continued: "He couldn't bear to part with this gun, and I couldn't bear to part with him as a customer, so we both took a step back."

"The purchase of firearms is still in quantity of 500 dollars. We can ship the goods according to the highest quotation he gave, which is 5,000 US dollars."

"but!"

Li Xuewu emphasized: "My requirement is that this order must be accompanied by an equivalent amount of car purchase."

"In the past few days, I took him to see our car's road condition test and extreme driving test. He was very satisfied..."

"He has no objection?"

Cheng Kaiyuan asked funnyly: "Didn't you ask why our car looks so similar to Willis?"

"The key point of closing the deal is exactly here"

Li Xuewu nodded with a pencil and raised his eyebrows: "I told him directly that this car is based on Willis, with a revised engine and gearbox and more auxiliary parts."

"Why?"

Xue Zhifu glanced sideways and said: "Our cars have so many outstanding key points, they can be recommended as selling points!"

"No! The biggest selling point of this car is Willys quality!"

Li Xuewu explained seriously: "Willis has been tested and proven in the war, and it can be sold without publicity."

"But there are very few factories that continue to produce this car. After all, it was a product thirty or forty years ago."

"But this does not affect it as a stable and reliable combat vehicle."

Li Xuewu typed the document and said: "The Red Star Antelope engineering version simplifies the kit, strengthens the overall structure, and improves the mechanical kinetic energy."

He pointed to the top of the head and explained: "With a full frame body, as long as the top seal is removed, the machine gun bracket can be installed on it."

After saying this, Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and added: "I have to coordinate with the design side. The ceiling and frame need to be designed separately for the export version."

"What's the meaning?"

Jing Yunong looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you going to install the machine gun bracket directly on it? Are you crazy?"

"Am I crazy? Of course it's not a machine gun mount! What we sell is an engineering version of the command vehicle!"

Li Xuewu looked at her and emphasized: "Since it is an engineering application, it is normal to have a luggage rack. It is normal for heavy luggage to need several anchor points!"

"besides!"

He spread his hands and said: "If you need a fire-fighting version, you need to have a water spray gun on the vehicle. There must be a bracket!"

After saying this, Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said: "We are just selling cars. What does the customer want to put on the car have nothing to do with us!"

"..."

There was a brief silence in the conference room, and the shameless and shameless people stopped talking for a moment.

"that……"

Xue Zhifu waited for a while and then said: "How about I contact the British businessman again? See if he needs a machine gun...that shelf?"

Jing Yunong turned to look at him, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a while without answering.

As the saying goes, it’s not easy to learn well, but it’s easy to learn bad things!

Look, Deputy Director Xue, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, was not like this before. He was the most adhering to principles and the most contemptuous of money.

What's wrong now? !

Deputy Director Xue, you make me feel strange!

"Cough~cough!"

Xue Zhifu didn't see anyone replying, so he consciously didn't say something clearly. He coughed again and emphasized: "Actually, I don't care about sales. It's just such a good luggage rack that there's no need to regret it."

"..."

Not only was Jing Yunong's mouth twitching now, but others were also speechless.

Deputy Director Xue, you have shattered my outlook.

"Ask, in case you need it."

He also saw the strangeness in everyone's eyes, lowered his head and muttered, and tried to make amends for himself.

Li Xuewu scratched his forehead. He didn't expect that his unintentional act would cause Deputy Director Xue to change his principles.

“Let’s talk about the customer base of British businessmen.”

He suggested: "Two thousand five hundred dollars, after conversion, I only added half of the price, purely for the consideration of the third part of the order."

"Indeed, the export price of cars is not high"

Jing Yunong looked at the document in his hand and said, "It only costs 9,000 yuan per unit. After deducting the packaging and transportation costs, it actually doesn't make much money."

Gu Weijie turned to look at her. Is the foreign trade of the steel rolling mill so crazy now?

What is the cost price of the engineering standard Red Star Antelope?

According to the assembly line estimate, it will be just over three thousand!

9,000 per unit, minus transportation costs, and you can easily earn more than 4,000 per unit.

For one thousand vehicles, the net profit per unit is calculated as RMB 4,500. What is the net profit?

Deputy Director Jing, you’re drifting!

Jing Yunong had already calculated in his mind how much Li Xuewu would earn after settling this order.

Say less, say less and say ten million more.

You see, the net profit from automobiles is 4.5 million yuan, and that does not include the net profit from firearms.

From what she learned, the production cost of the Type 66-6 sniper rifle was only more than 600, definitely less than 700.

If you want to ask why the research and development costs were not mentioned, it’s really hard for Jing Yunong to say, because the materials she received did not include research and development costs at all.

The comrades of the Light Weapon Institute just took advantage of the gaps in several projects to work overtime and make a copy.

You have to insist that there are technical difficulties here, but in fact, for professional teams and professional technicians, these are all things that should be known and understood within the scope.

The most difficult part of R\u0026D is not the material application and design and production, but the testing and experimental stages.

Precisely this part is what the steel rolling mill needs least. After all, Mao Zige has already finalized the firearm, and Li Xuewu knows the historical value of this thing.

Therefore, the cost of six hundred and fifty yuan, selling for five thousand US dollars, the profit is as high as thirty times.

Five hundred sniper rifles, with a total profit of more than 8.67 million.

The combined profits from automobiles and firearms alone exceeded thirteen million.

The largest portion of purchases are packaged, including ammunition, hardware, farm tools, cans, etc. The profit margins on these items are the lowest.

The total combined is not as good as cars and weapons, it's just a waste of volume.

Otherwise, how can people say that there are no corpses in the gold belt of murder and arson, and there are no corpses in repairing bridges and roads.

With the income of more than 10 million yuan, the steel rolling mill will definitely have a much easier time in the second half of the year.

She had mentioned to Li Xuewu that cooperation with Ng Fung Hong in Hong Kong City would bear the risk of the other party not being able to replenish funds in time.

The answer given by Li Xuewu at that time was to take it step by step, and at least the foreign trade team will give a certain answer in the next year.

Jing Yunong couldn't believe that Li Xuewu could complete such a large amount of orders by himself.

But the facts were before her. Listening to Li Xuewu's explanation, she felt a little excited. If she had been present during the negotiation with Art, she would have witnessed Li Xuewu's different demeanor.

The perception this little man gave her was refreshed over and over again. He was confident, calm, steady, and even carried a trace of free and easy indulgence in his movements. This might be the charm of success.

——

After the ventilation meeting, the atmosphere in the factory office area was different again.

There was some joy on everyone's face. After all the unpleasantness that happened in the workshop in the past few days, everyone seemed to have encountered a happy event.

In these years, collective happy events are everyone’s happy events, because collective development and strengthening means that employees also enjoy the fruits of success.

Judging from the most basic situation, the workers' new village project independently invested and built by the steel rolling mill has already received funds.

Fifteen million yuan is enough to start the project, which is a century-old project.

You know, this is only the result of Deputy Director Li, other leaders have also made gains in this week.

Hardware, food, liquor, ships, automobiles, electronic appliances, wool textiles, etc. These products have their own agents.

It is still the foreign trade agency model implemented by Li Huaide, Jing Yunong and Li Xuewu in Yangcheng. After paying a certain agency deposit, they can allocate land quickly.

Globally, the size of the sales area varies, the deposits vary, and the distribution treatment is also different.

High-quality and low-priced industrial products are placed in front of foreign businessmen, and they are exclusive agents. How can we not let them confirm cooperation?

In addition to Yuben, Nanhan, and North America, which the three representatives of the Japanese businessmen had already won, the Hong Kong businessman Nande decided to have the agency rights in Southeast Asia, which surprised Li Xuewu.

This old boy was planning to get this piece of land when he was in Yangcheng, and even signed a letter of intent, but the final negotiations have not been completed for a long time.

This time I came to the mainland with a trade tour group. Maybe I had a certain understanding and trust in the steel rolling mills, and then I made up my mind to get this piece of fat in Southeast Asia.

French businessman Chantal won the agency rights in Western Europe, and representatives of British businessman Watsons won the agency rights in the UK.

Italian businessman Negis won the agency rights for South America, and Yemeni businessman Abadi won the agency rights for West Asia.

In the end, Art, whom Li Xuewu talked about, won the agency rights in Africa.

Now you know where Art wants to sell these firearms and cars, as well as hardware, farm tools, labor insurance, canned goods and other commodities.

You say Africa is poor and has no money?

of course not!

In Art's words, there is no need for money, there is more need for peace.

Li Xuewu "praised" him more than once. The Nobel Selection Conference should really award this Peace Prize to him.

In order for the people there to live a peaceful and prosperous life, he sent agricultural tools and production and living tools there.

Of course, in order to protect our homeland and hard-won life and production equipment and facilities, we must have some strength.

So he thoughtfully sent Type 56 and light and heavy firepower, as well as high-end goods such as precision shooting rifles.

He was too great and considerate, and gave so many goods. He only took away some useless gold and diamonds from the other party.

Just ask, is there really anyone in the world who is willing to trade peace and life for stones?

Ate prides himself on being such a selfless good person, a good person that Li Xuewu would fall silent upon hearing.

In fact, he really wanted to ask Art if he would not be criticized for selling weapons to all tribes regardless of each other.

But later he also figured out why international businessmen have such a conscience.

Gold and diamonds nourish the conscience and warm the heart and stomach.

According to Art, diamonds the size of thumb caps are everywhere, and sometimes a can can be exchanged for a big diamond.

Li Xuewu really believed his lies. This stuff was all over the place. If he believed him, he would go to Africa with a bottle of cans to exchange for diamonds, unless he got kicked in the head by a donkey.

This is like saying that there is nugget gold on the prairie of Inner Mongolia, and sometimes you can sell it for a lot of money if you pick it up.

Mongolia is not closer than Africa. Why haven't I heard of anyone going to the grassland to pick up stones because of this thing?

You can't make money outside of your knowledge, so he just listens to Art's boasts with amusement and has absolutely no intention of experiencing them personally.

You think Art doesn't know this?

He used this cognitive difference to whet Li Xuewu's appetite and tell him how high his profits were, in order to take the initiative in cooperation.

This is just like when you go to discuss business, the boss may be so poor that he still has his pants on, but he still uses a big Ben to pick you up and drop you off.

Art knew that Li Xuewu would not go to Africa to compete with him for business because of this profit, so he said this.

You can’t say that he is bragging, or that canned diamonds are fake, there are some, but you can’t find them.

Li Xuewu is more convinced that money within his own knowledge is the same as selling a rifle that costs 650 to him for 18,000.

Ate clearly knew that Li Xuewu was fooling him, saying that the Type 66-6 sniper rifle had no design cost and was completely imitated, costing a few dollars.

Why did he pay a big price to buy it?

Because he couldn't find a factory to produce this thing himself, he would have already earned the money back in this time.

For businessmen, time is also a cost, and energy is even more so.

Li Xuewu was not complacent and proud of having negotiated this deal.

The firearms are from the steel rolling mill, and the cars are also from the steel rolling mill. He may have used some ingenuity or unique methods.

But this is not a reason for him to show off his abilities. The leader's trust gave him the opportunity to sit at the negotiating table, and the platform gave him bargaining chips and material goods.

Just like the constant discussions in the factory office area, and the looks of approval and admiration directed at him, these can be listened to and looked at, but if you take them seriously, you will be finished.

Even when greeting him with congratulations, Li Xuewu would always respond politely.

In his words, he praised the negotiation team again and again, talked about the leadership's decision-making and deployment, and talked about the products and future of the factory, but he did not mention his own contribution.

Tell these people clearly that the credit belongs to the collective and the glory belongs to everyone.

Those who may have heard these words will just hear them and not take them seriously.

But the leader will hear it, and the team working together will also hear it. When thoughtful people hear it, their evaluation and recognition will be on another level.

No matter where he is now, even if he is regarded as a factory leader, Li Xuewu clearly realizes that he is just a worker.

The state of walking on thin ice will not change much because of one success, and the attitude of being cautious in words and deeds will not change because of ten or twenty million.

When Xue Zhifu came down from upstairs, he specifically stopped Li Xuewu, and the two stood at the door of the duty room and talked.

He asked about Art's negotiation status, and after confirming that only the finishing work was left, he proposed to exchange with Li Xuewu.

"Say it first, I'm not trying to take credit."

Xue Zhifu smiled and emphasized: "People need to be self-aware. I am very sure that the British business representative wants to purchase cars, but he is not sure what his needs are."

"I can't delay my work in the factory because of my own dignity."

"so"

He looked at Li Xuewu sincerely and said: "I will be responsible for your finishing work now, and you can contact the British business representatives."

"I have already communicated with Director Li and the others. As long as we win the British business, all the credit will be attributed to you."

Xue Zhifu swore firmly: "I will definitely keep my word, and I will not hold you back, let alone..."

"Deputy Director Xue, what are you talking about?"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "You still think that I am a cadre of the steel rolling mill, but I am still not an employee of the mill."

"We are a collective, a team, and we naturally help each other when in need."

"Moreover!"

He said frankly to Xue Zhifu: "It doesn't matter what the credit is. We work together. This is a kind of fate. Watching the steel rolling mill succeed is a kind of happiness."

As he spoke, he handed the negotiation materials in his hand to Xue Zhifu and said: "Art needs to connect with the investigation department. Ji Weidong will be in Tianjin this weekend. I will introduce you to him."

"Comrade Xuewu"

Xue Zhifu looked at the document in Li Xuewu's hand, took it with emotion and solemnity, nodded and said: "When you put it like that, I feel that I am using the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman."

"You are joking, we are comrades"

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded: "I am a cadre responsible for foreign trade coordination, and I have the responsibility to fight side by side with you, not to mention that we are comrades in arms."

"I feel even more ashamed when I say this."

Xue Zhifu smiled, solemnly stretched out his hand to shake Li Xuewu's hand, nodded and said, "I will definitely be responsible for Ater's side. If there are any British businessmen who need me..."

"Hey, that's exactly what I wanted to say."

Li Xuewu shook his hand and said: "I think you will be the host of the meeting with the British business representatives, and I will help you."

"How can this be done!"

Xue Zhifu said bluntly: "I was just afraid that I was not capable enough, so I asked you to take action."

"But British business representatives don't know this"

Li Xuewu looked at him seriously and said: "You are the leader of the factory. Presiding over the negotiations with him is an affirmation of your status. Only then can the efforts and role I have made be fully reflected."

"You!"

Xue Zhifu finally understood now that it was not that Li Xuewu was afraid of the British business representatives questioning his identity, but that it would save his face.

If Li Xuewu negotiates this business, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face, and the factory will say that he is incompetent.

No matter what his starting point is, when things happen, discussions will arise.

Li Xuewu is a man who must be all-round, considerate and thoughtful.

Xue Zhifu handed back the document in his hand in shame and said: "Then I can't take your job. This will make me look greedy."

"No! I need your cooperation and help"

Li Xuewu smiled and pushed the document back and said at the same time: "I have too much work and it is too heavy."

"Now that Art has opened up the situation and is being followed up by a factory leader, he can better understand our importance."

"As for the British businessmen, it's better for us to cooperate. If we win, everyone's efforts will win. If we lose, we won't be able to do it."

Li Xuewu nodded seriously and said, "If you have any comments or suggestions, you can mention these two negotiations to me, and we will work hard together."

"good"

Xue Zhifu nodded and said sternly: "Since you said that, it would be too cliché for me to be polite."

The two were no longer polite, finalized the next negotiation procedures, and separated on the first floor.

——

Good news is like a girl going to the market. She never appears alone. She often comes hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, and swaying her buttocks.

Before leaving get off work, Zhang Changming, vice president of Jinmen Fisheries, called and asked Li Xuewu to go to Jinmen to eat seafood and go fishing on the weekend.

Why don't you go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything? Fishing in the cold weather?

Li Xuewu really wondered if he was out of his mind.

fishing?

Do I have to wear a helmet?

"Make an appointment for me...forget it"

Li Xuewu just wanted to tell Peng Xiaoli to run errands, but after thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called directly.

Xue Zhifu personally answered the call. When he saw it was Li Xuewu, he asked funnyly: "Is there any good news?"

"Indeed! But I'm not sure yet"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Are you free on the weekend? I would like to ask you to go fishing."

"Fishing? So..."

Xue Zhifu paused and said in a strange tone: "I'm not very good at fishing. Eating fish is just fine."

"It's okay, I'll treat you to seafood."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Fresh seafood, the kind that can be delivered to your mouth in less than ten seconds after being caught."

"Hahaha~"

Xue Zhifu laughed loudly, and then asked: "Do you need me to invite anyone to join you?"

"Of course, it's up to you"

Li Xuewu took the phone and looked at Peng Xiaoli who was packing his things. He smiled and said, "I suggest you send a private invitation to the British business representative. I believe he will not refuse."

"Okay, are you leaving tomorrow morning?"

Xue Zhifu understood the meaning of Li Xuewu's words, nodded and said: "I will call you back later."

"that's all"

After Li Xuewu hung up the phone, he told Peng Xiaoli: "Help me contact the Tianjin Trade Management Center to coordinate with Geely Star Yachts."

"Oh, by the way, contact Jinmen Fisheries Company again, they should make arrangements."

"OK"

Peng Xiaoli took notes and asked: "Do we need to prepare anything else here? In terms of personnel and equipment...?"

"Well, the equipment shouldn't be needed."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "Jinmen Fisheries will prepare it."

"As for the personnel..."

He nodded and said, "It's just a private party. Don't go to too much trouble. Just report it to the committee."

"OK"

Peng Xiaoli took notes again and reminded Li Xuewudao: "If it is a commercial communication, should we invite the persons in charge who will be negotiating in the near future?"

"Huh? You mean...?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly, looked at him and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You can have this."

After saying that, he nodded and Peng Xiaoli said: "Then help me make an appointment with Director Bao of the credit union, as well as Director Liu of the Ministry of Industry and Director Gao of the Economic and Trade Department."

"Don't make an appointment with Director Zhou of the Foreign Affairs Department. I know him well."

Li Xuewu sat on the chair, raised his eyebrows and said: "It's relatively reserved, but he will make uninvited actions."

"Then, why don't you guard against bad visitors?"

Peng Xiaoli joked: "Get an invitation letter?"

"Haha, can you stop him?"

Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "Foreign business operations, for example, must be accompanied by officers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"Do you believe it or not?"

Li Xuewu tapped him with a pencil and asked with a smile: "If Deputy Director Xue calls, the translator of the Foreign Affairs Department will already know it."

"Understood, the translator from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows it, and Director Zhou also knows it."

Peng Xiaoli smiled and echoed: "Who makes Director Zhou care more about us?"

"Hey! That's right!"

Li Xuewu waved to him, indicating that he could go about his business, while he read the documents with a pen.

Why did he invite British business representatives when he went out to discuss cooperation, and also invited the "three cheap guests" who caused trouble for him last time?

In fact, negotiation and cooperation do not conflict in nature. The two go hand in hand and complement each other.

Li Xuewu still agrees with what the three of them did last time, and doesn't want to have a few enemies around him who have never interacted with each other.

Especially in such a critical position.

Liu Shaozong and Gao Yaqin are not his enemies, let alone his opponents.

Zhou Gancheng was somewhat passive, especially when it came to handling foreign affairs issues. He might have preferred Li Xuewu to handle things more diplomatically.

At least it can't hurt him or the interests he represents.

But Li Xuewu had a stiff neck and could not be manipulated or coerced by him, so he just gave him a set of combination punches.

The three people were stunned by what happened in Jinmen. Li Xuewu actually invited him several times, but no one responded to him.

Now that the dust has settled, it’s natural to revisit the old place and ease the relationship.

Li Xuewu didn't want to have any conflicts with anyone. He was really afraid of trouble.

Especially for people, they are uncontrollable individuals. Everyone has a complex network of relationships, and they may be involved in different directions.

It's the same for everyone, even ordinary factory workers, can you say with certainty that he has nothing to do with him?

Before getting off work, Xue Zhifu called back, and Smith Parker, a representative of the British businessman Watsons, responded that he was willing to spend the weekend with friends from the steel rolling mill.

“Go to the club first”

The command vehicle dropped off Peng Xiaoli and then drove to the club. It was the end of the day and there were many cars and people on the road.

Fortunately, the journey was short, and we arrived at the club entrance around 6:30.

"Brother Wu! Why are you here!"

Coincidentally, as soon as the command vehicle arrived at the gate, Zhou Xiaobai and the others pushed the vehicle out.

After Li Xuewu got out of the car, he first said hello to the guard, indicating that he didn't need to go in.

Then he looked at Zhou Xiaobai and the two of them, and asked with a smile: "Are you getting off work so late?"

“Be normal”

Luo Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a somewhat wandering gaze: "We all go home after dinner."

Li Xuewu didn't know what she was expressing. He pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders in a funny way, and invited the two of them: "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Where to go?!"

Zhou Xiaobai swept away the awkward look just now and looked at Li Xuewu excitedly, knowing that when he came to them at this time, he must take her out to play.

"Jinmen"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "Invite foreign businessmen and business partners to go overseas for fun. If you have time..."

"Yes! Yes!"

Zhou Xiaobai nodded seriously and said, "Luo Yun and I will be free tomorrow."

"Xiaobai~"

Luo Yun frowned and pulled her hand, his eyes seemed to remind and warn.

But Zhou Xiaobai didn't care at the moment, and replied to Li Xuewu: "If we leave tomorrow morning, I have to go back and ask Sister Yu for leave."

"Okay, the car will pick you up at 7 o'clock in the morning"

Li Xuewu looked at Luo Yun, as if he saw something, but didn't care, and reminded: "Remember to bring warm clothes, it will be very cold on the sea."

After saying that, he waved to them and got on the command car.

When the car left, Li Xuewu had already seen several young people waiting across the street.

"Xiaobai!"

After the car left, Luo Yun asked in a dissatisfied tone: "Didn't you promise them to go to the Summer Palace?"

"I've been to the Summer Palace many times"

Zhou Xiaobai explained to himself: "I'll explain it to them later."

"By the way"

She looked at Luo Yun and said, "Did you tell Zuo Jie?"

"You're so mad at me!"

Luo Yun said angrily, "You go if you want to go, I won't go!"

"Oh~ Luo Yun~"

Zhou Xiaobai pulled her hand and begged, "If you don't go, I'll go alone, how embarrassing, Brother Wu invited both of us."

"You!..."

Luo Yun pursed his lips and whispered, "Do you know what you are doing now?"

While speaking, he glanced at Zhong Yuemin and others who were walking across the street and reminded, "They are here, you explain yourself."

Watching Luo Yun turn around angrily, Zhou Xiaobai bit her lip and didn't speak, as if she was struggling and hesitating in her heart.

Just now, facing Li Xuewu's invitation, she really didn't want to refuse, and even agreed without thinking.

She had to pull Luo Yun because she could see that Li Xuewu didn't want to bully her, let alone give her family misunderstandings.

The more Li Xuewu treated her like a little girl, the more he played with her in his youth, and the more he gave her a sense of security, the more she wanted to get close to Li Xuewu.

This sense of security gave her a reason to take the initiative. She was sure that Li Xuewu would not hurt her, so no matter how much she played or how active she was, she would not be bullied.

Some of the willfulness and stubbornness of youth made her make such a decision unconsciously.

"What's wrong?"

Zhong Yuemin came here with two friends, glanced at the vigilant security guard, and asked Zhou Xiaobai: "I just saw..."

"It's the president of the club"

Zhou Xiaobai took the lead to explain: "He said there will be an event in Tianjin tomorrow, so..."

She looked at Zhong Yuemin with some embarrassment and said: "We can't go to the Summer Palace, sorry."

"What event is going to Tianjin?"

Yuan Jun looked down on Zhou Xiaobai, especially her delicate tone and personality. Now that she was stood up, she felt unhappy.

Originally, he had an opinion that Zhong Yuemin insisted on pursuing Zhou Xiaobai, and he didn't agree to come here to cause trouble.

Especially Zhou Xiaobai never gave Zhong Yuemin a formal reply or promised anything.

Zhong Yuemin was like a bull, who would not turn back until he hit the wall, and was determined to fight Zhou Xiaobai.

He came to send her off in the morning and pick her up in the evening, and really treated her like a wife.

Sometimes Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong would follow, but they just felt uncomfortable.

In the past, if you wanted to pursue a girl, you would just talk directly, and if you agreed, you agreed, and if you disagreed, you disagreed.

After hearing about Zhou Xiaobai's family background, now people don't say whether they agree or not, as if they are fishing.

However, Zhong Yuemin was willing to be caught, and let others manipulate him like a big fool.

He wanted to remind Zhong Yuemin, but he refused several times, and even said that Zhou Xiaobai was shy and weak.

Yes, this girl has a shy and weak side, but in Yuan Jun's view, this is just hypocrisy.

Especially the car that just came, they have seen it several times and are very familiar with it.

They had also inquired about the identity of the club president explained by Zhou Xiaobai.

He was the most capable and the most powerful person in the alleys of Dongcheng. He was the idol of the gangsters, and he was more godlike than the proud sons of heaven.

He not only married a good wife, but also had a thriving career.

Just looking at the compound in front of them, they could not afford to offend him.

There were some young people who were doing well, but they were not as well as him.

Those in the compound were not good either, there was no comparison.

But it was really hateful that such a person, who already had a family and a career, was still dating girls in their circle.

Of course, the hatred was jealous hatred. If it was any other hatred, they would not have the courage, let alone the ability.

It was jealous hatred because Li Xuewu was more free and easy than them and knew how to have fun.

In contrast, no one would feel comfortable in the face of the fact that they could take their girls away with just one invitation.

At the end of February, the ice of Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace melted, and the cruise ships could start, and everyone was scrambling for the freshness.

Originally, Zhong Yuemin had broken his head and had already grabbed the opportunity to go boating, so he wanted to take Zhou Xiaobai to go boating.

In the lake, on the boat, there are many things to say, and it is convenient to say them.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xiaobai now has a better choice.

Hearing Yuan Jun's indignant questioning, Zhou Xiaobai was also disgusted with this person who always looked at her coldly and had opinions about her.

She said in a cold tone: "Activities are activities, it has nothing to do with where you go."

After saying that, she curled her lips slightly, as if deliberately explaining: "It is said that we are going to entertain foreign businessmen and partners, and we are going to take a yacht to go fishing and eat seafood."

Luo Yun looked at Zhou Xiaobai speechlessly, thinking that she was a little too stubborn.

Does she have to convey the emotional suffering in the same way to feel relieved?

She does not object to Zhou Xiaobai's contact with Zhong Yuemin, let alone contact with Li Xuewu.

What she objects to is that Zhou Xiaobai is confusing this kind of feelings, or even playing with feelings.

Li Xuewu's thoughts on Zhou Xiaobai can be seen by everyone. Children, or girlfriends, cannot be considered close relationships.

If he needs, Ou Xin and others in the hospital can be his friends.

Luo Yun has some guesses in his mind about choosing Zhou Xiaobai to participate in this event.

It's nothing more than Zhou Xiaobai's identity, or Li Xuewu intends to cultivate Zhou Xiaobai and guide her to develop in a certain way.

This does not conflict with cultivating feelings, and his starting point cannot be said to be bad.

Guiding a child with status and age advantages to become the helper he needs, both sides have achieved something.

In this process, a friendly relationship is maintained, and Zhou Xiaobai's family will not object.

Just look at how Zhou Xiaobai uses Li Xuewu's relationship to go in and out of the International Hotel, and sometimes even eat there and meet foreign affairs personnel, and her family's reaction will tell.

Luo Yun really wants to wake Zhou Xiaobai up and let her know what she wants.

If you don't want to be emotionally involved with Zhong Yuemin, then don't waste your energy.

Sometimes, a frank refusal is also a kind of kindness to yourself.

But now it seems that Zhong Yuemin is more like the one who takes the initiative and is unwilling to let go.

"Forget it, Xiaobai also has her own job, I understand you, Xiaobai"
