Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Has it been negotiated?"

The Bingcheng Aircraft Factory 701 aircraft engineering project team checked in at the Hongxing Factory Guest House.

Director Han, who was accompanied by the Ministry of Industry, left after the lunch banquet.

But after the people in the 701 project team woke up from a sober sleep, they heard that the project was finished.

As the host and partner, Red Star Factory should prepare appropriate accommodation and food for guests coming from afar.

In order to facilitate the participation in the finalized cooperation negotiations and the inspection team formation meeting, Kong Xiaobo, the director of the project team, complied with Li Xuewu's invitation and checked in at the guest house.

Li Xuewu also sincerely extended an invitation to him to visit the Red Star Factory.

Kong Xiaobo is not a piece of meat on the chopping block, nor is Project 701, nor is Bingcheng Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.

However, the complexity of the matter exceeded his expectations, and the simple and crude way the Red Star Factory handled the matter caught him off guard.

He cannot blame the mistake on the other party for not playing according to common sense and using his power to overwhelm others.

Because Red Star Factory has been humble, courteous and polite from beginning to end.

Even in the communication, a deputy director was arranged as the main contact person.

Everything made sense, but nothing was explained clearly. He couldn't describe to his colleagues how things got to this point.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Kong Xiaobo could only respond with silence.

"The most ridiculous thing in the world——!"

Deputy Chief Engineer Qiu Guanlin slammed the table excitedly and said with dissatisfaction: "Is this how Hongxing Factory does things? The methods are too mean!"

"It's too much!"

Technical engineer Zhu Lei complained: "If you don't want to talk to us, why do so many people come? Just ask Director Kong to come!"

"Comrade Zhu Lei——"

Deputy Director Bai Guangming frowned and reminded: "Director Kong is not to blame for this!"

"That's true. I don't think it's Director Kong's fault."

Shangguan Qi, the youngest and most highly educated engineer in the team, nodded in agreement, looked at Zhu Lei and emphasized, "You can't say that."

"I didn't mean that-"

Zhu Lei also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and explained with a stern expression: "I mean Red Star..."

"It's my fault. Comrade Zhu Lei is right."

Kong Xiaobo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhu Lei's explanation.

Just when everyone was looking at him, Kong Xiaobo took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Arrogant and arrogant."

"From the beginning, I didn't take this inspection seriously, so it was inevitable that I would make mistakes."

He raised his head, looked at everyone and said, "Before I knew the specific situation of the Red Star Factory, I rashly led the team here."

"I don't blame them for setting up an ambush, and I don't blame you either. It's because I didn't lead the team well."

"Director Kong——"

Chief Engineer Shi Zhiyuan frowned and said: "What happened? Why did we..."

He raised his hand to signal to the people in the room and asked: "How could it be possible to reach an agreement so quickly in just one noon?"

"Besides, how can this cooperation be discussed without technical discussions?"

"We're not talking about technology, and they don't need technology." Kong Xiaobo blew out a puff of smoke and said in a somewhat desolate tone: "In other words, they don't need us at all."

"This...how is this possible!"

Qiu Guanlin said excitedly: "How can they produce without our technical support?"

"That's right, I don't believe that a steel rolling mill can build airplanes!" Zhu Lei stood up and walked to Qiu Guanlin's side and emphasized: "Even if they have a production line, do they know about helicopters?"

"They don't need to understand—"

Kong Xiaobo crossed his legs and sat at the desk by the window. This was the fourth floor of the guest house.

It can be said that the Red Star Factory takes them seriously. Before the International Hotel was built, this was the exclusive room for senior leaders.

Just because they came from afar and were a technical team, they were given a superior room.

This place is quite spacious, suitable for working and gathering together for discussions.

Well, eight people from the 701 engineering team are here.

"Director Kong, what do you mean?"

Shangguan Qi frowned and asked, "Do they have other options for cooperation?"

"But--"

She emphasized: "We are the designated cooperative unit by the Third Machinery Department."

"First of all, the other party is indeed looking for a new cooperative unit."

Kong Xiaobo explained: "What I heard should be Fengcheng Aircraft Manufacturing Factory."

"Secondly, there is no specific specification."

He waved his hand to stop Shangguan Qi who was about to speak, and continued to explain: "The order I received is to investigate and negotiate and strive for cooperation."

"Besides, you should be able to tell from the attitude of Director Han from the Ministry of Industry."

Kong Xiaobo flicked the cigarette butt in his hand and extinguished it in the ashtray.

"If there was really any designation, it would not be the Ministry of Industry arranging people to accompany us."

"I don't understand, Director Kong."

Zhu Lei asked: "Do they have a finalized cooperative enterprise?"

"Or do you simply have a problem with our arrival?"

"You think too much, and I think too much."

Kong Xiaobo gave a bitter smile, shook his head slightly and said: "The Red Star Factory is not prepared to independently produce the parts needed for helicopters."

Amid everyone's shocked expressions, he continued: "All parts of the KH-4 are completely outsourced. They only assemble the helicopter."

"Even helicopter manufacturing plants are planned to be established in the form of joint stock companies and joint ventures."

“Kong—Director Kong!”

Qiu Guanlin was so shocked that he couldn't form words. He stuttered and asked: "They don't produce parts? Then why...who will produce them for them?"

"Also, what are joint-stock and joint venture forms, and what kind of organizational system are these?"

"It is for the purpose of groupization. Hongxing Factory has submitted a groupization project document to the Ministry of Industry."

Kong Xiaobo continued: "Li Xuewu, deputy director of the Administrative Committee Office, explained that the Red Star Factory will expand its business areas in the process of groupization."

"However, the company's capital and management capabilities are limited, so Hongxing Factory focuses on investment and management in new projects."

He nodded to Zhu Lei and explained to him: "Take the aircraft manufacturing project we are talking about as an example. The Red Star Factory only uses the production lines they obtained as equity capital, and funds, production, technology, and workers will all be recruited and cooperated. Replenish."

"It has been finalized. A bank in Beijing has decided to invest 5 million yuan."

Seeing everyone's confusion, Kong Xiaobo told everything he knew about the situation.

"As for the aircraft manufacturing plant, Red Star Factory already has a complete production and operation plan."

He said: "That is, technology joint ventures, production cooperation, and joint-stock operations."

"In terms of manufacturing and R\u0026D technology, Hongxing Factory agreed to cooperate with us and will provide opportunities to inspect the team, and we will participate in the entire disassembly and modification process."

"At the same time, the Red Star Factory will provide funds for the next model, as well as subsequent scientific research funds for light helicopters and other aircraft."

Just when everyone was surprised by the generosity of the Red Star Factory, he said: "Accordingly, we must support all technical needs of the Red Star Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and share the research and development results with the Red Star Factory."

"This...if..."

When Qiu Guanlin heard this, he narrowed his eyes and asked hesitantly: "How to supervise this content?"

"There is no need for supervision unless we don't want their money."

Kong Xiaobo knew what he was thinking and said seriously: "The 701 Project project team is moving to Beijing, and the Red Star Factory will give the project team an office location in the ecological industrial zone under construction."

"How is this possible-!"

Zhu Lei shook his head and said: "This condition is too harsh and ridiculous."

He looked at the others and emphasized: "Isn't this just plundering? I hope to buy everything with money. Can the projects of our factory be bought with money?"

After asking this question, the director, deputy director, chief engineer, deputy chief engineer, and other technical engineers all fell silent.

My family knows their own affairs. What is the situation of the 701 project team? If others don’t know, don’t they themselves know?

If you really have money, why go to all the trouble and actively come to the capital to coordinate.

Sometimes, you can really do whatever you want with money.

The Red Star Factory has a lot of money, and the helicopter production line they value is just a part of the conglomeration process that was established to enrich the industrial industry.

It is only for the sake of subsequent development and the healthy development of the industry that there is a technical need.

"In addition, Red Star Factory will calculate the technical cost based on the total investment and construction cost of the project," Kong Xiaobo said: "Correspondingly, a certain share will be given as a bonus."

"What do you mean? Don't you mean shares?"

Qiu Guanlin questioned: "We participated in technical renovation and maintenance, we also have to participate in project development, we have to move our homes, and we can only get bonuses?"

"Yes, this is a technical joint venture."

Kong Xiaobo said: "The production equipment belongs to others, and they did not ask us to come."

"Unless our factory can also invest in equipment, workers and capital to obtain shares."

He spread his hands and emphasized: "This is a business share, or a share in production cooperation."

"The technical joint venture means that if the 701 Project project team moves to the capital, corresponding aircraft research talents will also participate."

Kong Xiaobo sat up straight, nodded slightly and said: "If you make a contribution to technical improvement, you will get a bonus for technical improvement; if you make a contribution to disassembly and assembly, you will get a bonus for disassembly and assembly."

"If a new model is born during the joint venture process of the project team, you can get a design bonus, otherwise there will be no money."

"This is really unreasonable. Then what have we become?"

Zhu Lei sat on the chair and complained: "Are you a Mike who works part-time at the Red Star Factory?"

"Yes, Mike, a part-time worker——"

Kong Xiaobo smiled, nodded and said, "This description is very appropriate."

"We have to bring our own wages here, just like Mike has to bring his own tools and luggage."

He looked at the others and continued: "Only when the wheat is harvested and put into the warehouse, we will be given bonuses."

"Actually, we don't have to cooperate."

Kong Xiaobo nodded and said: "The cooperation plan proposed by the other party is too risky."

"In addition to the opportunity to visit Japan for half a year, we have the opportunity to participate in the demolition and renovation of the entire project, we have a research institute in Beijing, and we have sufficient research funds."

He listed all the conditions provided by Red Star Factory and finally spread his hands.

"We not only have to go through the hard work of moving, but also share the research results if we can really develop a new model."

Kong Xiaobo shook his head slightly and said: "Otherwise we will draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing."

"It's just a gamble. The joint venture just gives us a chance to get on the gambling table."

Shangguan Qi seemed to have understood, and looked at Kong Xiaobo and said: "We have to bet the entire project team, betting that the technology we learned can produce a new aircraft."

"In this way, we can continue the project team and continue to get bonuses."

"Red Star Factory is also betting--"

She looked at everyone and explained: "Betting that the technical support and research we have paid for will really bear fruit."

"Correspondingly, they are the dealers."

Shangguan Qi let out a long breath, looked at Kong Xiaobo again and said: "No matter whether you win or lose, the dealer will take it all and will never lose."

"It seems that the deputy director Li you are in contact with is a master of gambling."

First there was Kong Xiaobo's summary and then Shangguan Qi's figurative metaphor. Everyone in the project team in the room understood and understood it.

After thinking it through, everyone felt deeply powerless. It turned out that there was a monster.

No wonder the cunning Director Kong failed here and the old horse stumbled.

Even if they came together, the result of today's negotiation would not be better.

Although it is still unclear how the other party achieves production and operation, they know that this is not a negotiation, but a notification and charity.

The cooperation plan is not negotiated, but the other party shows it to you.

If you agree, sign it, if you disagree, pack your bags and go home.

There is no room and room for further negotiation, how else can you negotiate?

Break the 5 million investment that has been agreed upon, or overthrow the Fengfei factory that they are communicating with?

Not to mention that they don’t have this ability, even if they do, they can’t do it.

That would offend everyone.

Looking at the technical joint venture materials that Director Kong got, everyone was really both emotional and helpless.

The person who designed this set of project plans is really a monster.

"I never destroy my own ambitions to enhance the prestige of others."

Kong Xiaobo took a sip of the teacup, looked at everyone and confirmed: "But I have to tell the truth, this Deputy Director Li of Red Star Factory is not simple."

"It's a coincidence, isn't it?"

Zhu Lei stood up and walked to the window, stood next to Shangguan Qi and said: "The head of Red Star Factory is surnamed Li, and the young and promising Deputy Director of the Security Department and Deputy Director of the Management Committee Office are also surnamed Li."

"What do you want to say?"

Kong Xiaobo frowned slightly, squinted at Zhu Lei, and reminded: "Be careful in what you say and do, don't do stupid things, and don't say irrelevant things."

"I'm just stating a fact."

Zhu Lei spread his hands and emphasized: "I don't know who designed this plan."

"But I don't think that Deputy Director Li is so smart as a demon."

"If you think so Why don't you go out and take a look, or talk to him? "

Kong Xiaobo pointed at the table, looked at him seriously and said: "You can raise different opinions here, but don't say things that will easily affect unity and cause conflicts."

"Comrade Zhu Lei, you said the wrong thing."

Qiu Guanlin turned back, glanced at Zhu Lei, and said: "No investigation, no right to speak."

He turned back and glanced at Kong Xiaobo, emphasizing: "Director Kong means that you should at least have something to say, and not be aimless."

"Don't make trouble for yourself--"

Kong Xiaobo did not take up Qiu Guanlin's words, but looked at Zhu Lei with an ugly face and reminded: "The water in Beijing is very deep. If you want to try, you can do it alone, don't bring disaster to everyone."

This was too straightforward and too unpleasant to hear, and the faces of the people in the room were all very ugly.

And Kong Xiaobo did not explain, but just said such an unclear warning.

However, smart people have figured it out. Whether it is the Red Star Factory or that Li Xuewu, they are not something that their dragon crossing the river can eat.

"Don't talk nonsense--"

Shangguan Qi looked at Zhu Lei with a gloomy face and reminded him softly: "That is a person who can talk directly with the director of the General Office of the Ministry of Industry."

"Helicopters are a big project for everyone, but Red Star Factory is playing a small card."

Kong Xiaobo ignored Zhu Lei and continued to introduce to everyone: "The purpose is very clear, that is, not to give the Third Ministry of Machine Building a chance to say something."

In 1960, the "Third Ministry of Machinery Industry" was split from the First Ministry of Machinery Industry, responsible for the aviation, weapons, tanks, radio and shipbuilding industries divided from the First Ministry of Machinery Industry.

The First Ministry of Machinery Industry is in charge of civilian machinery.

Now the Red Star Factory is under the management of the First Ministry of Machinery Industry, and the Ice City Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is under the management of the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry.

"The aircraft manufacturing plant is divided into three parts: technology, production and operation. No matter which direction you start from, you have to abide by their rules of the game." Kong Xiaobo spread his hands, looked at everyone and asked, "How do you think we can play?" "They have already said that Dongcheng Credit Union will invest 5 million and United Savings Bank will invest 3 million to obtain operating shares." "Red Star Factory has its own machining and parts industry supply chain. All parts used in aircraft manufacturing are purchased through the supply chain." He explained: "In the production process, they have to control and manage themselves, and there are no production technology requirements for parts at all." "Even if there are maintenance technology requirements, they have their own research institutes to support them." "Only the subsequent R\u0026D technology requirements will not allow us to dominate alone." Kong Xiaobo spread his hands and said: "At least we have to find another aircraft manufacturer to participate in the joint venture."

"Yes, I understand what you are thinking. They only paid for management and production lines, but they took the biggest and sweetest piece of cake."

Kong Xiaobo looked at everyone and asked: "The problem now is that he doesn't want to give us the leftovers yet. What can you do to him?"

"Is the Third Machinery Department quarreling with the First Machinery Department because of us? Or are we taking away the production line by force?"

"Director Kong——"

Chief Engineer Shi Zhiyuan asked: "Is this the final cooperation agreement?"

"This is the main intention," Kong Xiaobo said seriously: "If we don't plan to participate in the study tour to Japan, we can continue to talk."

"When will the inspection team set off?"

Qiu Guanlin thought for a while and asked: "Can everyone in the project team go?"

Kong Xiaobo looked at him as if he were a fool and replied, "What do you think, Mr. Qiu?"

——

"I said this Li Xuewu didn't have good intentions!"

After returning to the room, Zhu Lei dropped the notebook in his hand on the small table.

They are not qualified to live in a high-end suite, but there is a long wooden wall-mounted desk against the wall.

It's just that he's in a bad mood right now, and there's nothing to record about his mood.

Shangguan Qi, who followed him in, stood against the wall at the door with his arms folded.

She curled her lips and reminded: "The director has already said, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."

"What? The Red Star Factory still cares what I say?"

Zhu Lei had a hot temper, so he sat down on the bed, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He shook his chin and said, "I have never encountered such an unfair project."

"You can also apply to go back -"

Shangguan Qi fanned herself as the smell of smoke drifted in front of her, then frowned and opened the window.

Zhu Lei's eyes kept following Shangguan Qi's figure, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The number of places to go to Japan is limited anyway, so why should you wrong yourself?"

Shangguan Qi walked back to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, putting the notebook on his lap.

"That's right. Didn't the director say that he needs to arrange for someone to go back with him to make a report? You can tell the superiors about the grievances and injustices here."

"snort--"

Zhu Lei turned his head away and hummed: "I won't go back. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking."

"It doesn't matter, you have your temper."

Shangguan Qi looked him over, stood up and said, "I'm going back, I still have work to do."

"Do you really want to go to Japan?"

Zhu Lei turned his head and looked at Shangguan Qi who stood up and suddenly asked: "You don't want to go back to Bingcheng anymore. You want to come to the capital. That's right?"

He stood up, walked to Shangguan Qi, stared into her eyes, and said, "You obviously know that I like you, and the family is already arranging a marriage."

"Zhu Lei, can you be more sensible?"

Shangguan Qi frowned, looked at Zhu Lei and reminded: "This is the arrangement of the project team. I want to continue learning and ask for progress. Is this wrong?"

"Also, regarding marriage, I don't want my personal feelings to affect my career and work."

"Is this your attitude?"

Zhu Lei suddenly grabbed Shangguan Qi's arm in excitement and shouted hysterically: "What did you say when your family was in trouble?"

"It's not like my father found connections to save your family. Is this what you did to me?"

"Zhu Lei! Let go -"

Shangguan Qi wanted to shake off Zhu Lei's hand, but he grabbed it tightly and the pain was severe.

She struggled and pushed Zhu Lei hard. In excitement, she raised her hand and hit him.

Snap——

This slap hit Zhu Lei firmly on the face without him reacting, causing him to let go of his hand involuntarily.

"You--you dare to hit me!"

Zhu Lei looked at Shangguan Qi with a face full of grievance and shock, covering his face, feeling that his whole body was burning with anger.

He raised his hand as if to slap him back.

But Shangguan Qi also felt scared after beating him. Now she closed her eyes and raised her face to beat him.

Zhu Lei looked at Shangguan Qi, whose face was full of panic and tears, and there was no way he could do anything.

"You are planning to take this opportunity not to go back or marry me, right?"

Unable to conceal his sadness and anger, he looked at Shangguan Qi and asked, "You clearly know that I will not come to the capital with the project team, right?"

"Respond actively to this project, so that you can go to Japan to hide out for half a year."

Zhu Lei let go of his face, and said with a suppressed tremor all over his body: "When you come back, I won't be able to control you anymore, right?"

Shangguan Qi stood there with her eyes closed tightly, but tears could still flow from her eyes.

She pursed her lips tightly, crying about her origin, her fate, and her feelings.

People's hearts are made of flesh. Even if I didn't like Zhu Lei at first, after more than a year of getting along with him, I know that he is a good person.

Zhu Lei's family didn't think highly of her. It was Zhu Lei who begged his father for help at the risk of death.

After picking their family out of the list, she was more grateful than emotional to Zhu Lei.

But isn't life just a combination of mistakes, half gained and half lost? She has already accepted it.

Whether she was going to Japan or coming to Beijing with the project team, she admitted that she had selfish motives for avoiding the situation, but she had never thought of regretting her marriage.

It was just Zhu Lei's controlling and possessive nature that made her feel breathless.

Even if it means giving her a little room to breathe, as long as she fights for it, the two of them will go to Japan to work for half a year and get along well in a different space.

At the very least, they could come to live together in the capital, which was better than enduring his mother's strange temper at his home.

But Zhu Lei didn't think so at all. He would never leave home, let alone Bingfei.

He is like a little bird that doesn't want to fly, forever sheltered in his mother's arms.

Bingcheng has the care of his parents, and he can live a good life, so why come to the capital and suffer.

In Bingcheng, he is a young talent, young and promising, and a proper protagonist.

When he arrived in the capital, he was so arrogant that he encountered a sap on his first day.

The 21-year-old deputy director was in charge of the security and organization and coordination of an enterprise that was about to become a group. He was dwarfed by him, and it was inevitable that he would become angry.

If the young deputy director had a false reputation, it would be better if he did not live up to his reputation. He could despise and ridicule him as much as he wanted.

But from Director Kong's introduction, it is obvious that this is not the case, that is the real young and promising person.

Therefore, the quail-like Zhu Lei has committed his old habit again. He despises everything he does not want to see, and is not willing to work hard to narrow this gap. He is eager to avoid this reality and wants to escape from the capital and leave here. Ensure self-confidence.

Perhaps it was because at the discussion just now, she echoed Director Kong's summary and praised Deputy Director Li a few words, which made Zhu Lei unhappy, lacking self-confidence and feeling insecure.

That's why he is so paranoid about comforting himself by belittling the other person and hindering the project.

It was precisely because he saw this that Shangguan Qi followed Zhu Lei here when the other party was emotionally unstable, trying to persuade him.

However, it is obvious that Zhu Lei is still a child who has not grown up, even though he is 24 years old.

Zhu Lei looked at the disappointed and painful expression on Shangguan Qi's face and knew that he had said the wrong thing.

But as a man, he didn't allow himself to be wrong, and he didn't allow Shangguanqi to treat him with this attitude, so he still took action.

Shangguan Qi was thrown onto the bed violently, feeling Zhu Lei's beast-like movements. She still closed her eyes and endured it silently, even if she owed him.

Zhu Lei's eyes were red and he was panting as he tried to unbutton her shirt, but his trembling hands only unbuttoned three buttons. Seeing her tears falling from her ears, he could no longer hold back and raised his hand to give himself a slap.

Shangguan Qi heard the noise and felt Zhu Lei's movements stop. She opened her eyes and saw that he had run out of the dormitory crying.

He is a good person after all, isn't he?

Shangguan Qi sat up, wiped the tears from her face, and tied the three buttons that Zhu Lei had unbuttoned. She felt as if she had died.

Maybe my heart is dead.

——

"I heard that Deputy Director Liu of the city was punished?"

Xia Zhongquan shook his hand and took the tea cup that Peng Xiaoli had just brought over and heated it.

Peng Xiaoli apologized and wanted to help him, but he waved his hand and refused.

"It doesn't matter. You can go about your business."

After driving Peng Xiaoli away, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "The merger of sixteen companies will not be delayed, right? We and the engineering side can calculate the amount of projects and planning!"

"There shouldn't be any problems. What do you think this is? Playing house?"

Li Xuewu chuckled and shook his head, saying: "The merger case that everyone above is paying attention to, Liu Xiangqian was punished because of it. Do you want to take it back?"

"I think that's the case too, it should be fine..."

Xia Zhongquan didn't seem to be talking to Li Xuewu, but rather to comfort himself.

"But don't make any duplications. I don't want to have to coordinate the work again."

With 16 factories, Hongxing Factory needs half a year to complete the integration and merger.

Finance, personnel, logistics, cadres. Production...etc., all have to be integrated.

Not to mention other things, which are not under Xiazhong's full control, we just talk about the integration of mechanical equipment and technology.

It is necessary to integrate the production equipment and business of the 16 factories with the Hongxing Factory's own business and the tertiary industry business. If the connection cannot be integrated, new factories and workshops must be arranged to arrange production tasks.

In this process, Red Star Factory has to build workshops for the equipment of these factories. The order is the order of integration and merger, and deficiencies must be checked and filled.

When Xia Zhongquan first received this mission, he looked at the plan and felt that people were about to die.

Fortunately, he now has many technical personnel and intellectuals.

"Hehehe——"

Li Xuewu chuckled, shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "How is the formation of the inspection team to Japan going?"

"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."

Xia Zhongquan leaned on the sofa, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Have you reached an agreement with the 701 engineering team?"

"Without a contract, they have to report, communicate and ask for instructions."

Li Xuewu put down his tea cup and explained: "But the plan is that plan, so you don't have to worry about them, just prepare as you want."

The plan was the one Li Xuewu took out from the safe. Everyone knew that Bing Fei's team was coming, so why didn't he make preparations earlier?

Xia Zhongquan also knew this. The cooperation project was finalized so quickly. He was not surprised at all that the Bingfei 701 team fell into Li Xuewu's trap. He would have been surprised if they had not fallen into it.

"So, who will lead the team?"

He looked at Li Xuewu eagerly, hoping to get accurate information from Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu looked at him funny and asked: "What? You are still strong, do you want to do it again? This trip will not be easy."

"well--"

Xia Zhongquan understood that the leader had other considerations.

In fact, he is no longer young, and this trip abroad is not for tourism.

Half a year is like grabbing knowledge, and opportunities should be given to young people.

No matter how quickly he wants to accept new things at this age, he will never be able to deceive himself.

He had already had a premonition about this, but he couldn't help but want to go out and have a look. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he really couldn't feel the difference between the inside and outside.

"Don't be like this——"

Li Xuewu glanced at him funny and said: "There will be opportunities in the future. In a few years, you can go out and play if you want."

"Don't be blind, your pie is not round enough!"

Xia Zhongquan smiled, waved his hand and said, "I'm not doing it just for fun, I just want to know how far the kid has developed."

"I said, sooner or later there will be a chance."

Li Xuewu raised his hand and patted his arm with relief and said: "Live well and don't be anxious to die. It will be your turn to go abroad."

"Fuck you, hahaha——"

Although Xia Zhongquan didn't want to listen to Li Xuewu's words, they sounded strangely powerful.

The two of them were laughing and talking, and a girl knocked on the door and walked in carrying a kettle.

"Uncle! Why are you here?"

The girl is a bit bratty, and her words can choke people's lungs to death. "You are also here for our director's tea?"

"Hehehe——"

Li Xuewu picked up the tea cup and looked at Xia Zhongquan, just waiting to see his excitement.

Xia Zhongquan frowned, glanced at his niece impatiently, and asked Li Xuewu: "Why did you turn the trap on her?"

"Let's make arrangements from afar. Is there a shortage of people in the border office? Send her to the border!"

"Oh - uncle!"

Wang Lu carried the kettle and put it on the tea cabinet. She stamped her foot angrily when she heard her uncle's words.

Xia Zhongquan stared at his niece and scolded her, "Are you at home?"

"How did I tell you to address yourself by title in the workplace? Can't you remember?"

"knew--!"

Wang Lu pouted and muttered: "Dear Deputy Director of the Technology Development Leading Group Office, Director of the Engineering Management Office, and Chief Engineer Xia of the Beijing Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill of the First Industrial Machinery Ministry!"

"You bastard—!"

Xia Zhongquan seemed to know something was wrong when she chanted sutras, and he didn't even think about stopping her.

"Hahaha--!"

Li Xuewu almost laughed out loud. This girl is so funny. How did she manage to give birth?

"Didn't you ask me to address my position?"

It's not that Wang Lu can't speak, she can also act coquettishly, otherwise she wouldn't be loved by her family.

Do you think she is stupid?

Peng Xiaoli didn't think this girl was stupid when he arranged for her to come to the security office.

The silly girl died a long time ago because of the matter at the International Hotel. How can she be in the mood to come to work again?

But if you want to call her smart, she didn't pay any attention to the foreign friends at the International Hotel.

Now I don’t mention that incident anymore, I just feel that working in the security office is fresh.

I even visited the detention room on the first day, just to see what the environment was like if someone made a mistake.

Peng Xiaoli searched his mind and found an adjective, that is innocent.

Her parents worked really hard to protect their daughter so well... so funny.

Wang Lu didn't care if this was the leader's office, let alone her uncle's attitude, so she sat directly on the sofa next to Xia Zhongquan.

"Our leaders don't care about me, why do you want to send me to the border?"

"I even want to send you to the moon!"

Xia Zhongquan shook his arm, but did not shake off his niece's hand.

He looked at Li Xuewu helplessly, feeling completely embarrassed.

But there are a lot of naughty boys in the family, but this little aunt is the only one who is doted on by several elders.

"I'm causing trouble for you——"

"Hahaha, pretty good."

Li Xuewu looked at Wang Lu with a smile and asked, "How is it? Is it interesting to work in the security office?"

"It's interesting, much more interesting than working in an international hotel——"

Wang Lu nodded, looked at Li Xuewu with certainty and said, "You just won't shoot me."

"Send you a cannon—!"

Xia Zhongquan, who was standing aside, puffed his beard and lectured with a glare: "What kind of gun do you need to work in an agency?"

"If you don't give it, I won't give it -"

Wang Lu curled her lips, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Boss, when will you change your secretary? Can you consider me?"

She said with excitement on her face: "People say that I can learn a lot from you."

"Comrade Wang Lu, you are not kind -"

At this moment, Peng Xiaoli, who was about to knock on the door, heard this and said to Wang Lu, dumbfounded: "I arranged this job for you!"

"I didn't say I'd take it from you—"

Wang Lu looked at the young man who came in with him, and at the same time explained with some embarrassment: "I already said that the leader wants to change the secretary."

"Why—!"

Peng Xiaoli saw her sitting next to Xia Zhongquan and knew that they were not talking about serious matters, so he also joked.

"I'm doing a good job, so you just hope that the leader will replace me!"

"Good leadership——"

The young man who followed Peng Xiaoli in and greeted him with a standard salute was none other than Zhao Yajun.

"Come on, Yajun."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and turned to introduce Xia Zhongquan: "I plan to let him take charge of the security work of the delegation to Japan."

Xia Zhongquan listened to Li Xuewu's introduction and carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

He was tall, sharp-eyed, and full of youth and vigor. He was a good soldier in the security department.

When Wang Lu heard the leader's introduction, she remembered her uncle's talk about going to Japan. Now she knew what they were talking about.

She looked at Zhao Yajun with some envy. These days, leaving the village is considered a happy event, let alone going abroad.

Zhao Yajun didn't understand what his second brother said, but in the leader's office, he just stood up straight and listened to orders.

"Don't worry about his family background and work ability, they are enough for this job."

Li Xuewu pointed at Zhao Yajun calmly and said, "This is my sister-in-law's younger brother."

"Oh--"

Xia Zhongquan nodded, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I think it's okay."

Of course it's okay. If Li Xuewu hadn't introduced this, he would have been nervous.

But after confirming Li Xuewu's relationship, he felt that there was no problem.

Who wants to go out and not come back? Li Xuewu, this little relative, would not think so.

The moon in foreign countries is not always round, so you can't eat it as a cake.

Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at Zhao Yajun and said, "Go home and pack up, tell your sister that there will be a car to pick you up tomorrow morning. Go to training for a few days first. There is a task."

"Yes!"

When Zhao Yajun heard that there was a task, he saluted neatly, then said goodbye and turned to go out.

Xia Zhongquan had been observing Zhao Yajun. After the others left, he glanced at his niece and asked Li Xuewu, "How old is this child? Where is he from? How many people are there?"
