Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Leader, Director Sha told me to remind you to go to the mountain to inspect the work."

Peng Xiaoli held the notebook in his hand, turned to Li Xuewu and said, "I said your schedule is getting busier as time goes by, so I'll try to get it in advance."

"Let's put it aside for now."

Li Xuewu also wanted to visit the mountains, but he really didn't have time.

It takes at least a long time to come back and forth. Several groups of foreign businessmen are coming this month, as well as the Tianjin Seafood Corporation, so I can't move away.

He told his family that he would not be traveling in the near future, but the trade management center in Jinmen has officially started operations, and he will have more time to travel in the future.

Li Huaide is very tight on him now. Basically, he will be brought along as a staff member whenever there is a business mission.

In the past, Li Xuewu could often go down to the grassroots level to catch up on work and check the progress of the work.

But now there is too much work accumulated, and many times I can only entrust Xiao Zihong to check.

Li Xuewu knew very well that this situation would be okay in the short term, but it was not a long-term solution.

If leading cadres are disconnected from the grassroots, they will basically lose support from below and have no way to move up.

Just by sitting in the office, listening to reports and giving instructions, the cadres below will have less respect for you, and the leaders above will have more regard for you.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. This is a truth.

You didn't see the actual situation below, and you were biased when giving instructions.

Sometimes it even goes off track and goes against the laws of fact.

You think the cadres below have the courage to refute you. Do you think you will listen to them when the time comes?

So mistakes are made from the very beginning, probably the simplest and most easily overlooked form of laziness.

"You come and make arrangements. Ask team leader Zihong to lead the team, and the office will coordinate with other department personnel to accompany them."

Li Xuewu thought for a while, then looked at Peng Xiaoli and said, "You should also follow me and do your investigation and conversation."

I couldn't go down to see it in person, and I was afraid of being blinded, so I could only add more eyes and ears.

When more people go there, no one will dare to tell lies.

Instructing Peng Xiaoli to follow him also meant to make him appear, after all, he would be doing work on his behalf in the future.

Originally, his secretary's debut was supposed to be to follow him to the grassroots level, but now the conditions did not allow it, so he could only do it step by step.

In the next few days, Sha Qizhi will help Peng Xiaoli transfer personnel relations to the general office.

Four or five months later, when Sha Qizhi left the General Office, Peng Xiaoli could basically take over the position of deputy chief section officer.

After all, he is young and may spend a lot of time with Li Xuewu. In the future, he will definitely reach the position of deputy section chief of the General Office.

Peng Xiaoli arrived home the night before yesterday, and after telling his parents, the whole family was excited.

As long as you take this road, the road ahead will basically be smooth.

At least it's very bright to get to the deputy section level position, and you don't have to continue to work in the office for qualifications.

The key point is that the deputy chief section member and the deputy section chief are not the same thing. Of course his parents must be happy.

After holding a leadership position, Peng Xiaoli can be specifically responsible for a project like Sha Qizhi, or go out to hold a position of real power.

After hearing Li Xuewu's arrangement, he instantly understood what his leader meant.

Of course, you can't say thank you or express gratitude at this time.

Work is work. Even if there is any relationship at work, it is still a work relationship.

Peng Xiaoli officially started his career as a secretary with various ideas and looking forward to a bright future.

Monday, November 3rd.

The news reported the sixth reception of teachers and students from across the country. The atmosphere was warm and full of hope, and national progress had been achieved...

Li Xuewu was sitting in Li Huaide's office smoking a cigarette, looking at Lao Li who was sitting in the office chair and frowning. The two of them didn't speak for a long time.

When the real-time news broadcast came to an end, Li Haiyang quietly came in and turned off the radio. Only then did Li Huaide speak: "Eating is going to be a problem~"

“I heard that’s the case”

Li Xuewu pinched out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, puffed out the last puff of smoke from his mouth, and said: "The food expense note that was reported to the city at the beginning has been settled, but now it has disappeared."

"Have you asked?"

Li Huaide tapped the table with his pencil and said: "According to regulations, these expenses should be distributed to the location of the participants and reimbursed by them."

"I asked the logistics department, but it was useless."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "I contacted the city and they also responded. The cost is too high and I can't afford it."

"What's the matter~"

Lao Li threw away the pencil in his hand and said angrily: "To provide them with housing, they have to live for free?"

After saying that, he crossed his arms and curled his lips and said, "These are half-grown men who eat all kinds of things. How much food can they eat?"

“The key is that supply cannot be cut off now.”

Li Xuewu also said with some worry: "All reception units and departments will provide food and accommodation, and no shortage or interruption of supply will be allowed."

As he spoke, he leaned forward and reminded: "It's winter, the green and yellow are no longer connected, I'm afraid something is going to happen."

"I'm thinking about this too"

Li Huaide put his arms on the table, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I regret it a little. The gain outweighs the loss."

As he spoke, he smacked his hands with a really bitter expression and said: "We did the reception, but it didn't bring any honor. We even let Zhang Guoqi do it for a while. If we hadn't handled it properly, we wouldn't be human inside and outside~ "

"We didn't expect so many people to come to Beijing."

Li Xuewu shook his head and said, "At least I didn't think that our reception station would be overcrowded."

"Well, the latest data."

Li Huaide handed the newspaper beside him to Li Xuewu, put it on the table and knocked it, saying, "At least 10,000 people come into the city every day, and many reception stations can't take care of it."

"What should we do then?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly, looked at Lao Li and asked, "Food supply cut off?"

"Hehe~ I thought about it~"

Li Huaide picked up a document handed over by the finance department, read it again and again, and after careful consideration, he still signed it.

"Ten thousand yuan, at most ten thousand yuan, after this money is used up, we will close the door and say goodbye to guests."

He threw the pen in his hand, leaned back in the chair, and looked distressed.

"Anyway, the work has been done and the money has been spent. Since they refuse to give and refuse to leave, there is nothing we can do. Forget about asking for it."

"I only have one request!"

Li Huaide raised a finger and said, "Leave quickly after eating, don't delay the renovation of the hotel!"

Li Xuewu was also scratching his head in worry. Dealing with these little guys is not the same as dealing with the original residents.

Especially in this situation in full swing, any slightly out of line behavior is like water dropping into a frying pan.

His worries were soon fulfilled.

On November 5, the fifth annual negotiation meeting on Sino-Japanese comprehensive trade organized by the economic and trade departments began in Beijing.

Before and after this meeting, a financial delegation led by Kawai, general manager of Komatsu Manufacturing, will visit the mainland and exchange views with relevant department officials on the future Sino-Japanese economic exchanges.

Accompanying the delegation are Kenichi Nishida and others whom Li Xuewu met in Guangzhou.

On the 5th, after receiving the reception message from the Foreign Affairs Department, Sha Qizhi led the Foreign Affairs Office to start the first foreign reception work.

The authority of this type of office is not fixed. It is under the leadership of the Management Committee Office to coordinate all departments of the steel rolling mill to carry out work.

The authority is attached to the task. During the task, they have high authority and are completely for the purpose of the task.

The news from the Foreign Affairs Department is that several foreign businessmen headed by Kenichi Nishida will hold talks on in-depth cooperation after Yangcheng, including the purchase of machinery for the steel rolling mill investment and construction project.

The negotiation time may take one to two days, so the Foreign Affairs Office is also facing a great enemy and treading on thin ice.

The news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not positive, and there may be accidents.

This is all due to the fact that there are too many progressive teachers and students from other places who have gathered in Beijing recently, and their misunderstanding and judgment of policies, and it is uncertain whether there will be more radical behaviors.

Therefore, from visits to talks, from rest to meals, from reception etiquette to translation services, etc., are all testing this newly established department.

The attitude of the factory workers and the opinions of the outside world on this meeting have always been a source of tension for the leadership of the steel mill.

As the deputy director in charge of coordination, Li Xuewu was actively communicated with Sha Qizhi, who took out the general framework of the reception work and consulted with the foreign affairs department personnel stationed in the factory.

This work is very complicated. It is not only a matter of reception, but also involves external and confidential work.

The steel mill is a key industrial enterprise. It must abide by confidentiality rules in foreign cooperation. What is very characteristic is that Yu Daru is here again.

When he walked into Li Xuewu's office with a smile, he couldn't help but congratulate Li Xuewu.

"Progress, progress, three steps a year"

Yu Daru is naturally familiar with Li Xuewu, and knows that Li Xuewu can make jokes. He is now sitting opposite Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu knew what he was doing, looked at him with amusement and asked: "You don't have any other work to do all day, why do you always come to our factory?"

"Hey~ Isn't this professional match~"

Yu Daru took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, saying: "Our leader said that I have a strong fortune and I will never go back empty-handed every time I come, so I will be the one to connect with the work of the steel mill in the future."

"Didn't your leader make you a idol?"

Li Xuewu pulled the corner of his mouth, waved to Peng Xiaoli to serve tea to the other party, and he continued to look at the documents.

He didn't need to be polite to such idle personnel in special agencies, and he didn't need to make time to entertain them.

Peng Xiaoli had seen Yu Daru, but he had never met him.

Yu Daru looked up at him and said with a smile: "Hey~ a new secretary~"

After that, he smiled at Li Xuewu and asked: "You have changed, why don't you change to a prettier female secretary?"

"I want to"

Li Xuewu signed the document and said: "But I asked your leader for you, but he didn't give it to me~"

"Hahaha~"

Yu Daru smiled nonchalantly: "Our leader treats me as a treasure, so don't be delusional".

"Yeah, big treasure~"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and asked: "Tell your leader that the steel mill has no surplus food recently, so let him lose his desire for money".

"Impossible!"

"Don't lie to me!"

"I don't believe it!"

Yu Daru lay on the desk, looked at Li Xuewu and said with a smirk: "Our leader knows about your going to Yangcheng!"

"Fuck!"

Li Xuewu looked at him speechlessly and asked: "Are you a confidentiality unit or an investigation unit!"

"Hehehe~"

Yu Daru smiled evilly and said: "We are keeping confidentiality during the investigation. We are investigating while keeping confidentiality. You don't understand."

"Well, I don't understand."

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "I'll talk to Ji Weidong and his leaders later about whether you have crossed the line by doing this."

"It doesn't matter~"

Yu Daru was free and easy. He spread his hands and said, "They were the first to cause trouble if they crossed the line."

"Hey! Let's talk about Ji Weidong~"

He raised his eyebrows and said with a bad smile: "Where has this kid been? Why haven't I seen him for a long time?"

"how could I know?"

Li Xuewu pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Aren't you brothers in the same unit? He is so elusive that I can't catch his shadow. How can you still be unclear?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Yu Daru shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you don't come to work in our unit. Such lies come out of your mouth!"

"If I hadn't known about the situation between you and Ji Weidong, I would have almost been deceived by you!"

"Joke~Why should I lie to you~"

Li Xuewu breathed out his breath, packed up the documents in his hand, and said: "It's true that I haven't seen him for a long time, but due to the nature of their work, it's not normal for him to disappear."

"No~no~"

Yu Daru stared into Li Xuewu's eyes and said, "You want to say it's possible for us to disappear for a while, them?"

"Unless he is no longer in the mainland..."

The meaningful look in Yu Daru's eyes kept testing Li Xuewu's bottom line. He was also used to it as a professional.

Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I'm not surprised. Isn't that what you do?"

"That makes sense~"

Yu Daru took a long drag on his cigarette, nodded, and said, "I heard that you built a fleet in Steel City? You also took on the freight task of Jinmen Port Terminal?"

"What's wrong?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at him and asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

"Hi~ What suggestions can I have?"

Yu Daru smoked a cigarette, glanced at Li Xuewu, paused, and asked: "What are your next plans for the train leather?"

"What's the meaning?"

Li Xuewu knew that he must have something to talk about and ramble on in order to serve this sentence.

Yu Daru glanced at Peng Xiaoli who was going out, and said seriously and softly: "I know that your factory has started to build refrigerated trains, but I don't know what your next step is."

Hearing what he said, Li Xuewu raised his head slightly, sat back on the chair, looked at Yu Daru in front of him, nodded slowly and said, "It seems that there is a problem with the confidentiality of our factory."

"No no no~"

Seeing that Li Xuewu was serious, Yu Daru waved his hands and said, "That's not what I meant. I just want to maintain the normal order of cooperation~"

"oh?"

"What order?"

"How did I not hear it being said?"

Li Xuewu asked three questions, which directly made Yu Daru's heart freeze. Their leader was afraid that the steel rolling mill would abandon them and do it themselves, that's why they were so concerned.

Especially seeing that the steel rolling mill was about to embark on a big project, I became even more anxious.

"Director Li, you..."

Yu Daru said with a grimace: "Don't embarrass me. You also know that our company has just experienced twists and turns, and it is exactly when we need funds..."

"Wait~"

Li Xuewu raised his hand and pressed it, asking: "What do you want to say? Be direct."

"If you want to say we are short of money, that's a coincidence. We are also short of money. If you want to talk about twists and turns, who's family has had a stable life?"

He knocked on his desk and said, "I just want to know, how did you know about our factory's refrigerated train?"

"it a accident!"

Yu Daru said sheepishly: "We have records of all the trains coming in and out of the railway. Last month, we accidentally saw your factory's centralized procurement project, so..."

"It's hard to guard against, isn't it~"

Li Xuewu nodded with a sneer and said, "Tell me, what does your leader mean?"

"What our leader means..."

Yu Daru hesitated for a moment, leaned forward and said, "I still hope to continue cooperating. After all, you need to go through so many carriages, right?"

"Well, I don't need it now."

Li Xuewu pulled out a document from his desk and showed it to him. He clicked on the text and reminded him: "The above has approved the food industry processing raw material purchase agreement. We can issue notes in the southeast, northwest and northwest."

"this……"

Yu Daru frowned as he looked at the document. In the past, when the steel rolling mill needed to move trucks, they were coordinated through them. It was not that troublesome to go through the special freight procedures.

It's a good thing now that those wagons are still in the hands of the steel rolling mill, but they are also planning to build their own refrigerated trains and have obtained the freight procedures.

"What a trick to kill the donkey~"

"Don't overestimate yourself"

Li Xuewu's mouth was really bad. He took back the document from the other party and put it aside, saying: "You have not played the role of a donkey at all."

These words almost made Yu Daru angry. He looked at Li Xuewu with a somewhat unkind and sad look in his eyes.

Li Xuewu ignored him and gave him a file. Then he put down his work and asked: "There is a project..."

"Do it! Let's cooperate! It's okay!"

Before Li Xuewu could say anything, Yu Daru had already agreed repeatedly and slapped the table with confidence, as if he could make the decision.

"..."

Now it was Li Xuewu's turn to look at him unkindly until he shut up.

"We are going to invest in building an automobile industry base, a hardware industry base, a smelting factory, and an electronic and electrical industry base in Gangcheng"

Li Xuewu found several documents that could be used for external purposes, threw them in front of him, and explained: "We are going to develop the yacht industry in Yingcheng Shipyard and the food industry in Beijing."

"So many?"

Yu Daru put away his joking expression, looked at the documents in his hand seriously, and said in surprise: "It seems that you really gained a lot from this trip to Yangcheng!"

"Stop talking about useless things, it depends on whether you dare to accept it"

Li Xuewu folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at Yu Daru, wanting to see if he had the courage.

Yu Daru glanced through several documents, then raised his head and frowned, saying, "This... seems like there's nothing we can do?"

"Why not?"

Li Xuewu tapped the documents in front of him and said, "Didn't you notice that they are all foreign cooperation, understand?"

"What the hell do you understand? You want me to rob them?"

Yu Daru looked down again, his eyes blank, not knowing where the money Li Xuewu was talking about came from.

Li Xuewu pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't tell me you didn't take 'protection' measures for these people."

"So what?"

Yu Daru spread his hands and said, "This is our job!"

"Is your mind full of mud?!"

Li Xuewu tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Can't you really protect them?"

"??? What do you mean?"

Yu Daru was a little stunned, and didn't understand what Li Xuewu meant.

Li Xuewu looked at him as if he was a fool, and said: "In the mainland, they are always worried about security issues, and they dare not go deep into the mainland to discuss cooperation. Our products cannot be sold, and they have money but cannot come in."

"Use your brain as big as a date pit to think about it. If someone can provide them with enough security to cooperate with manufacturers in the mainland, and provide all security services continuously..."

"Oh~!"

Yu Daru stared in surprise and said: "You mean... I understand!"

He pointed at Li Xuewu with a look that said I finally understand, and said: "You want us to use public power for personal gain, openly repair the plank road, secretly cross Chencang..."

"If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them"

Li Xuewu tapped the table with a pencil and reminded: "In fact, you can also stick to your original intention and be selfless."

"Who said we are selfless!"

"Who said that? Isn't this a rumor?"

Yu Daru said aggrievedly: "We don't mind using public power for personal gain..."

"This is a service job"

Li Xuewu reminded again: "You need to fully guarantee their safety, and do a good job of service, and don't let them feel threatened, including from you."

"No problem, they all need to be 'protected' anyway"

Yu Daru nodded and said: "If we can provide close protection, or 'protect' openly, wouldn't our work be easier!"

"It doesn't matter~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I am just giving you a suggestion. As for how to carry out this business, it is all yours and has nothing to do with me."

"..."

Yu Daru paused, looked at Li Xuewu carefully, and asked tentatively: "Have I been deceived by you again?"

"Forget it~"

Li Xuewu looked at him with disdain, and said: "I don't want all your things. Are you deceiving me?~~~"

Yu Daru pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at Li Xuewu again. Seeing that he lowered his head and looked at the documents with a calm expression, he was not untrustworthy.

After saying a few words about the work of external reception, he got up and left.

When everyone reached the door, Yu Daru suddenly turned around and looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "You asked us to do this, is it to facilitate your factory to cooperate with foreign companies?"

"Do what you need to do~"

Li Xuewu ignored him, and said while looking at the documents: "Our factory has only a few external projects. You will starve to death just serving our factory."

"Hiss~~That's right~"

Yu Daru thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Then...thank you~"

Li Xuewu waved his hand, without raising his head, and continued to look at the documents in his hand.

When Peng Xiaoli sent Yu Daru away and came back to refill Li Xuewu's hot water, he tentatively asked softly: "Is the cooperation between our factory and the Confidentiality Department going to be cut off?"

"Yeah"

Li Xuewu just responded, then looked up at him and asked: "Do you know why?"

"Uh..."

Peng Xiaoli looked at Li Xuewu's eyes, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Xuewu lowered his head and started writing again. Peng Xiaoli's heart was in turmoil.

"Is there any pressure from outside? I also heard that the higher-ups..."

"Not all of it"

Li Xuewu interrupted his guess and explained: "First of all, changes in the situation outside will indeed affect our factory's business and decision-making"

"However, this not very close cooperation is not enough for our factory to have any connection with the confidentiality department, not enough"

"Secondly, the pressure is not accurate. When did our factory change its business policy due to external pressure?"

He pointed at the documents at hand, signaling Peng Xiaoli to pack them up, and said: "The main reason should still be considered from the actual situation and internal situation of our factory"

"The first point is business needs. The volume of joint trade was not large before, and the demand for refrigerated trains was not large, so short-term cooperation is the most powerful."

"But the food processing plant that will be built next year will require a large amount of raw materials. It is impossible without a dedicated refrigeration line. It is better to cooperate with the confidentiality department than to use formal channels and cooperate with the railway."

"The second point is administrative means. Since we have to go through formal channels, there is no need to hang on to them anymore. When the time comes, you will have more and I will have less, but it will not be good and it is unnecessary."

"The third point is the changes in the external situation you mentioned. They have no scruples when executing business operations, which can easily cause us trouble."

Li Xuewu explained the reason to Peng Xiaoli as if feeding a cat, and finally looked at him and said: "In the final analysis, cooperate when it is appropriate, and do not cooperate when it is inappropriate."

"Yes, I understand."

Peng Xiaoli nodded in agreement, indicating that he had learned it, but looking at Li Xuewu, he couldn't help but ask: "But if this is the case, will we offend them?"

"Are you afraid of offending people?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him, and when he saw Peng Xiaoli's evasive eyes, he nodded slowly and said, "You still need to learn. How can a cadre be afraid of offending others?"

Looking at Peng Xiaoli's confused expression, he added: "It's not that you go around offending people, but you must have the determination to do your business without fear of offending people, but you must also have the ability to deal with things tactfully."

"Is it like Section Chief Yu is like this today?"

Peng Xiaoli thought for a while and seemed to understand something, including Li Xuewu's previous attitude towards Yu Daru, and his subsequent attempts to get him.

He is a smart man. Although his family background is not very good, he is not a rookie anymore.

With Li Xuewu, he could figure out what Li Xuewu was going to say in just a few words, which saved Li Xuewu the time of preaching.

"Go ahead and tell Qi Zhi that the Secrecy Department doesn't need to worry about it and let them do it themselves."

"yes"

Peng Xiaoli quickly understood the leader's order and turned around to convey it.

Li Xuewu, on the other hand, sat back on his chair, looked at the main office building outside the window and began to think deeply.

When Japanese businessmen come to visit, there are voices from the outside but no opinions from the inside?

I don’t know, I’m afraid someone couldn’t hold it any longer and wanted to dig up the foundation of the building built by Li Huaide in Yangcheng...

——

"Hello, Li Sang, we meet again!"

"Hello Mr. Nishida"

…

"Li Sang, I'm so happy to see you."

"Me too, Mr. Ninomiya"

…

"Li Sang, you're fine."

"Everything is fine, Mr. Nakamura"

…

After shaking hands with the three people and exchanging pleasantries, Li Xuewu stretched out his hand again and shook hands with Erika Momotani.

Miss Taogu's hand was still soft and gentle, and she inadvertently brushed Li Xuewu's palm when shaking hands.

But when Li Xuewu withdrew his eyes from her chest and looked at her, her eyes were clear again.

It’s rare to see a girl with such an open mind, clear eyes, and restless heart.

"Is this your first time in the capital, Miss Momotani?"

"That's it, Mr. Li"

Erika Momotani smiled gratefully and talked to Li Xuewu, her expression full of admiration and admiration.

"Then take a walk around and see our great rivers and mountains."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and reminded: "The mountains and rivers are left behind, but the good impressions can be taken away."

"Yes~ What you said is so good~"

Momotani Erika obviously understood the meaning of his words, and glanced at her boss. These words were not meant for her.

But now that Li Xuewu was talking to her, she naturally picked up the conversation.

"I have always had a very good impression of the mainland. I like the rivers and mountains here and the people here."

She deliberately looked at Li Xuewu, smiled and said: "If I really like this place, I will choose to stay here and be with the mountains and people I like."

"Oh~~~Welcome, welcome~"

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, and said to Kenichi Nishida: "It seems that Mr. Nishida is going to lose one of his right-hand men."

"As long as Miss Momoya likes it, this is her personal choice."

Kenichi Nishida was still thinking about what Li Xuewu said just now, wondering if the other party had any special meaning.

"Li Sang"

Nakamura Shuji took the initiative and said: "Not only does Miss Momotani want to stay here, I also like the scenery here very much."

As he spoke, he said sincerely: "If our cooperation can proceed smoothly, please help us set up an office in Beijing!"

"no problem"

Li Xuewu agreed very happily, and he didn't care whether he could help in the future. Anyway, whatever he asked for would be answered.

“I can’t thank you enough!”

Nakamura is a very honest person. Seeing Li Xuewu like this, I really thought that he was true to his word and could really help them organize the office.

At this moment, in front of everyone who was received by the steel rolling mill, he solemnly bowed and thanked him.

Li Xuewu was also very polite. He held his arm and said that if you need anything, you can come to him.

Note, if you have any questions, go to him, not the steel rolling mill.

Also note that you have to be able to find him when something happens!

Seeing Nakamura's behavior, Nishida Kenichi also suggested in a timely manner: "If this cooperation can really be achieved and the establishment of the office can be promoted, then Miss Momotani will really have a reason to stay."

"Yes, thank you, President, for your support."

Momotani Erika is really considerate and good at speaking. She thanked her boss and bowed slightly to Li Xuewu and said, "Thank you Mr. Li for your support."

Xiaoguizha really understands the essence of politeness. He first greets and then flatters the other party. In this way, he puts the other party on the spot and has to agree to their request.

But who is Li Xuewu? If you flatter others, they may feel embarrassed not to help, but this trick can only be used against people who want to save face.

Finding Li Xuewu is the wrong person. Face and benefits are never alternative answers in the multiple-choice questions for him.

Not only does he not get up early without benefits, but he may also cheat you.

In his concept, doing things to gain benefits is the most legitimate thing, and cheating you is his motivation for doing things.

Now you want to make him confused with just two nice words and a long leg?

This is not only an insult to Li Xuewu's determination, but also an insult to the bottom line of Yu Li, Zhou Yamei, Zhang Songying... and others.

Mr. Li has seen and experienced all kinds of things, so why would he use these things to test the cadres?

"We welcome all foreign businessmen who are willing to cooperate in China, and in the cooperation, we will spare no effort to help each other and safeguard each other's interests"

When Li Xuewu spoke polite words, he was really like an old sow wearing a bra - one set after another.

He raised his hand and motioned everyone to go inside the guesthouse, and he was still saying polite words about good neighborliness and mutual help.

As a reception area, the guesthouse today was surrounded by the security team.

There was no tense atmosphere outside, but the security work had been arranged inside.

Including all the waiters, on the 5th, that is, yesterday, they had completed the study and preparation of safety, confidentiality, service and other regulations.

Guests in all rooms were told to abide by the corresponding regulations. Without special circumstances, they were prohibited from contacting visiting foreign businessmen.

The meeting room was arranged in a small meeting room on the second floor. The layout and arrangement here have been completed. There are areas where the foreign affairs department sits and areas where the confidentiality department sits.

Li Xuewu was the one who picked them up, while Li Huaide had been waiting here for a long time.

The two sides had already met in Yangcheng. After drinking tea and exchanging pleasantries in the reception room, they went to the conference room together and began to discuss the content of the cooperation between the two sides.

Li Xuewu had already learned about the cooperation requirements proposed by the three Japanese companies in Yangcheng, and he also gave the other party a reply to the part that could be discussed. This time it was considered a subsequent discussion.

"Regarding the project book for the investment and construction of the electronic and electrical industrial base, we have the following points..."

The sound in the conference room was also isolated inside as the door closed. The service staff standing outside could not hear it, let alone see the specific situation inside.

Zhang Songying ordered a few waiters to prepare for the response. If there is a need in the conference room later, the service must be standardized and not be rude.

After she explained, she went downstairs to check the lunch arrangement. After Liu Lan left, she was in charge of this.

Although Zhang Songying is now preparing for the management team of the Six Nations Hotel, the guesthouse is the venue for her training team, so she seems to be busier than usual.

There are many more service staff and workers here than before, all of whom she has newly selected from the service department.

This includes the children of new workers who have joined the factory, who are educated, fit, capable, and good-looking.

Seeing her coming downstairs, Qin Huairu waved and asked, "Is everything arranged?"

"I'm already in a meeting."

Zhang Songying pointed to the direction of the tea room and asked, "Is it arranged here?"

"It's OK."

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Rearrange the tables and rearrange the interior decoration."

As the two talked, they walked towards the tea room, which was temporarily converted into a restaurant for those who were meeting upstairs.

The large restaurant and the small private rooms are not suitable, but this place can be slightly modified.

Banquets are not about going to a small restaurant for a full meal, but the important thing is socializing.

Sha Qizhi and Zhang Songying have seen the banquets there in Yangcheng, so after discussing with Qin Huairu, they chose this long table-like dining method.

Just like a meeting, the dining table is very long, with enough space for everyone to sit on both sides and both ends.

The dishes are divided according to the dining habits of the visiting guests. The large plates can be divided into small plates in front of each person by the service staff.

The wines are set according to the needs of the parties, with high-alcohol liquor, low-alcohol liquor, and rice wine.

Red wine is also prepared, and it is equipped with high-foot glasses, but it may not be used. This is still contributed by Lao Li on his own initiative.

Not to mention, the red wine that Li Xuewu gave him is really forbidden to drink. As long as there is a small cup, he can't stand it. He will definitely not sleep if he doesn't solve it.

You said that Zhou Miaomiao felt that Lao Li was overwhelmed in Yangcheng. Where can he find such good red wine in Yangcheng?

After returning from Yangcheng, Zhou Miaomiao felt that Lao Li had changed. She even thought that Lao Li was homesick, so he was always powerless in Yangcheng.

Old Li is really a good man who values ​​friendship and loyalty~

In order to entertain guests from afar, he did not hesitate to take out his own collection of fine wine, and even asked Qin Huairu to take out all the white wine that Li Xuewu prepared for him here for the reception.

Li Xuewu was also busy and confused, and didn't pay any attention to this. How could he know that Li Huaide was going to make trouble.

He didn't know when he would be busy with work every day, and he still had the mind to care about how Li Huaide drank?

It was precisely because Li Xuewu was busy that Li Huaide had time to choose wine.

If you say you don't know, it's not quite right. After all, Qin Huairu and Zhang Songying have been here for so long, and they still know the difference between "good wine" and "best wine" and ordinary white wine.

But now Director Li wants to drink this, or entertain guests, what can they say, say that Lao Li is generous~

Drinking his white wine doesn't matter, at most you can taste a few flavors.

But if you drink the kind of red wine that Liu Lan is addicted to, who knows how many things will happen today.

"You too, why don't you tell him?"

Qin Huairu looked at the red wine that had been placed on the table, and whispered to Zhang Songying with some complaints: "What if something goes wrong?"

"You still blame me?"

Zhang Songying said aggrievedly: "I can see him, you can't see him every day, why don't you say it."

"Ah~ Are you complaining to me~"

Qin Huairu looked at her with amusement and said: "Even if you can't help it, you don't have to do this to me, right?"

"Go to hell~"

Zhang Songying saw Qin Huairu teasing her, looked around, and whispered in her ear: "You can't help it, I tell you, if you want to do that, do it as soon as possible, I'm leaving, you can..."
