Chapter 1178 Wife?
"Oh, I finally got you here, Deputy Director Li..."
Zhuang Cangshuo led the team and stood at the entrance of the office building to welcome them.
Just waiting for the Volga M24 to stop steadily, the door was opened by secretary Peng Xiaoli, and he saw clearly that it was Li Xuewu who got out of the car.
He then trotted a few steps and held the hand that Li Xuewu extended to him with both hands.
"Everything went smoothly along the way?"
"Haha, no need to be so polite, comrades, thank you for your hard work——"
Li Xuewu chuckled, shook his hand, and greeted the members of the Trade Management Center team who were standing at the door to greet him.
Everyone came forward one by one, shook hands with him, and wished him a safe journey.
"I didn't bring anyone with me this time, and I didn't bring any money," he said as he walked up the stairs with a smile, jokingly saying, "You may be disappointed—"
"Your coming to Tianjin is the greatest support for us."
Zhuang Cangshuo walked sideways half a step behind Li Xuewu and accompanied him into the hall.
At the same time, he smiled and introduced the work of the Trade Management Center during this period.
There is a sequence for reporting on the work preparation for the inspection, first report the good news and then the bad news. You must not report the good news without reporting the bad news, otherwise it will sound too fake.
Of course, they didn't dare to play any tricks on Li Xuewu.
This guy has sharp eyes and is a master of psychology. His methods are known for being ruthless. If you fool him...
"During this period, the main tasks are as follows..."
First of all, we must report on the progress of subsequent negotiations at the Automotive Supply Chain Conference.
"Some company leaders came directly to Tianjin with the delegation after completing their inspection and research in the steel city."
He reported: "These must be companies that are very interested in the supply chain system. We are actively negotiating..."
He then reported on how supply chain companies had opened accounts at the United Savings Bank and connected them to the trade management platform to secure the accounts.
That is the so-called trading account, which is a necessary means to ensure equal interests of both parties and prevent losses to either party.
This part of the finances is handed over to the bank, which effectively guarantees relative fairness and security.
Once a problem occurs, the United Savings Bank will naturally provide compensation and protection.
Compared with previous cash transactions, or remittances from other banks and internal transfers, it is more convenient and direct.
Finally, he reported on the organizational and management work of the Trade Management Center.
It includes personnel changes in the agency, training of reserve talents, training of young cadres, establishment of office organizational structure, etc.
The group talked as they walked, and when the work content of each deputy director was involved, the corresponding deputy director would come forward to report.
During his inspection of the offices, Li Xuewu also listened to business reports from the heads of each unit.
He also asked questions and provided consultation on the relevant business, which was very targeted. He was not the kind who pretended to know everything and made himself a laughing stock.
"We still need to strengthen team building, strengthen the core and build a professional service team."
Coming down from upstairs, Li Xuewu said to Zhuang Cangshu and his entourage, "The Trade Management Center is the window for Red Star Factory's business to the outside world. It is of utmost importance."
“It’s very hard to stick to principles and provide good service, and the factory management committee leaders understand you very well.”
Li Xuewu stood in the hall, looking at the members of the Trade Management Center team who were standing in a semicircle with him as the center.
He said sincerely: "But the times have endowed Red Star Factory with the mission of pioneering and innovating. You are the pioneers of Red Star Factory walking at the forefront of the times..."
-
"Leader, tonight..."
Zhuang Cangshuo held the car door and invited Li Xuewu to get in, then he was still polite and wanted to ask him to stay for one night.
"We need to go to Yingcheng. There is still some work to do there."
Li Xuewu nodded to Zhuang Cangshu and said, "I have read your work report and have submitted it to Deputy Director Jing and Director Li."
"Thank you for the recognition from the leadership," Zhuang Cangshu said with a smile, "It is the factory's trust and tolerance towards me."
"You're welcome. Good is good."
Li Xuewu smiled slightly, put his hand on the door handle, looked at him and reminded him: "The leaders you reported to are also paying attention."
“It is better to do one thing well than to do a hundred things, and it is better to lead a team to do a hundred things well than to do one thing well.”
"Understood, thank you, leader——"
Zhuang Cangshu nodded in understanding and helped Li Xuewu close the car door with appropriate force.
He bent slightly, looked at Li Xuewu in the car window and said, "I'll report to you in detail when you come back."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work—"
Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, and at the same time waved goodbye to the members of the management center team who came to see him off.
With everyone's smiling faces, the driver started the car wisely and slowly accelerated out of the Trade Management Center compound.
Zhuang Cangshu followed the car for a few steps before he stopped and watched the car leave.
-
Li Xuewu came from the capital, and he was accompanied by a small number of people, but not a small number either.
Fan Hua, deputy section chief of the third section of the Management Committee Office, was in the second car, along with Zhou Miaomiao, captain of the propaganda team's dance troupe.
Zhou Miaomiao saw all of Zhuang Cangshu's respect for Li Xuewu, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.
She had been with Li Huaide, but she had never experienced the comings and goings in the workplace so closely.
Likewise, she had never personally experienced respect from others.
Of course, in her heart, this kind of respect is expressed in another word: flattery.
It’s not that she thinks Li Xuewu is hypocritical, nor does she think there is anything wrong with Zhuang Cangshu’s behavior.
All we can say is that we can see the essence through appearances. Her identity allows her to jump between inside and outside the circle, and she can see things more directly.
Standing in the circle, she is also a member of the group that welcomes and sees off guests. If a leader comes to inspect the propaganda team or the dance team, she will do the same.
But she, who has a low status and rank, can also stand outside the circle and look at things from an uninhibited perspective, and it is not certain what she is thinking.
However, Zhou Miaomiao learned a lot from Li Xuewu's performance and speeches during the investigation.
Unlike Lao Li, he is not fond of empty talk and big talk. The issues he talks about are all down-to-earth and the demands he puts forward are able to address current problems.
It wasn’t Zhou Miaomiao’s first day at work, so she could naturally tell whether Li Xuewu was powerful or not.
Research and speeches are really tests of the abilities of cadres, because they all work within the organization and have some basic knowledge.
When a leader comes, as long as he opens his mouth, the people below him will know whether this person can fool, deceive, or play tricks.
Your questions are precise and your points are clever. In your speeches and work emphasis, you are able to convey the spirit of your superiors' instructions while also being consistent with actual business work. That's amazing.
The people below will know at a glance and after hearing what you say, although you may not understand the specific business they are handling, as long as you can understand it, they will be careful.
What does a leader do?
These two words can actually explain its job functions.
It doesn't mean you have to do everything yourself, but you have to grasp the guidelines and lead the team to do the work.
Just like what Li Xuewu said to Zhuang Cangshuo before leaving, straightforward and thorough.
It is better to do one thing well than to do a hundred things.
People who shout about doing a hundred things but fail to accomplish any of them are not useful.
People who are down-to-earth and do every job well and thoroughly can be used in small-scale tasks, but not in major ones.
Whether he serves as a section-level cadre, deputy section-level cadre, or project leader, etc., he can do the task at hand well.
What kind of people can be of great use?
It is someone who can lead a team to accomplish a hundred things, even if eight or ten of these things are not done well or are wrong.
Learn and train on the job, and have a leader tell him why he did not do eight or ten things well, and then encourage him to summarize the things he did well into experience and form work habits.
Therefore, it can be seen that Li Xuewu has grasped the essence of how to manage a team and knows how to manage and encourage team leaders.
In the past, I often heard Li Huaide’s comments about Li Xuewu.
Solid, excellent, reassuring, etc., there have never been any negative words, which made her very confused.
Where does Li Xuewu's excellence lie?
I found out today. I just followed Li Xuewu, listened to him and watched other people's performance and feedback.
Zhou Miaomiao's gaze towards the vehicles ahead became more determined and eager.
-
When the convoy arrived at the dock, Zhou Miaomiao turned around and seemed to still see Zhuang Cangshuo's slightly bent body and smiling face.
Of course, no matter how crazy Zhuang Cangshuo is, he would not behave so excessively.
This is just the impression in her mind, deep and specific.
"looking at what?"
Fan Hua knew Zhou Miaomiao. She was familiar with the faces of almost all the cadres in the factory during the fire safety inspection.
Now that we are riding in the same car, we can feel like we are in the same boat.
Of course she had heard the rumors about Zhou Miaomiao.
Yes, she had heard of it, not just heard about it. She knew who Zhou Miaomiao was with earlier.
But this did not affect her initiative to talk and interact with Zhou Miaomiao.
Since the other party can appear here with Li Xuewu and even participate in publicity and research work, it actually speaks volumes.
With Li Huaide standing behind her and Li Xuewu following her, it is clear that Zhou Miaomiao is not a simple character.
It doesn’t matter even if the other party is just a simple character or a puppet. She only cares about the fundamental factors behind this matter.
So, Zhou Miaomiao got out of the car without saying anything, and before boarding the ship, she took the initiative to speak.
As both of them are lesbians, there is not much awkwardness or taboo in their communication.
Zhou Miaomiao also knew Fan Hua's background. He was an old subordinate of Li Xuewu and a ruthless character who could protect Huozi even if he got into trouble and then promote him to important positions.
It can be said that the two of them standing together are not inferior to each other, they are just not on the same track.
Precisely because they are not on the same track, they can speak more directly.
"Seeing if Director Zhuang is still here."
Zhou Miaomiao first replied seriously and made a look-out gesture, but after Fan Hua laughed, she also laughed.
"Hahaha - sorry -"
She covered her mouth, nodded apologetically and said, "It's just a joke, don't mind it."
"What do I mind--"
Fan Hua smiled, took the luggage from the driver, and walked towards the pier with Zhou Miaomiao who had also picked up her luggage.
She said, "I don't know Director Zhuang, and I never dealt with him when I was in the security department."
See, smart women gather together.
Fan Hua knew very well that Zhou Miaomiao knew who she was, so she did not hide her past mistakes and even mentioned them lightly.
This kind of honesty can really touch people's hearts and make the other party feel good about you and trust you.
Zhou Miaomiao also felt the initiative from Fan Hua, her eyebrows moved, and she said with a smile: "We will deal with each other often in the future. I haven't congratulated you yet."
See? This is called being able to speak!
Why Li Xuewu said she had the potential to be a salesperson? Because she knew how to make choices and was good at reading people's expressions.
"Should I be more modest?"
Fan Hua looked at Zhou Miaomiao mischievously, blinked his eyes, and said with a friendly smile: "Actually, I'm really happy to have come this far again."
"You might laugh at me and say I'm too revealing," she lowered her head to tidy up the hair by her ears, and then said, "Just like how you look at Director Zhuang."
Zhou Miaomiao did not say anything, but just faced the cool breeze blowing from the Haihe River and looked at the luxury yachts moored at the pier.
"Don't laugh at me, and don't laugh at him."
Fan Hua said frankly: "We just want to make progress too much."
“I also want to improve—”
Zhou Miaomiao turned around and smiled, then looked at Fan Hua, blinked, and said, "But this is the first time I've heard someone say it so bluntly."
"Also, this is the first time I've said this so frankly."
She looked at Fan Hua with a blank look in her eyes and said, "I don't know why, but it's so easy to talk to you."
Do you believe that a woman who walks between two men, handles things easily, takes shortcuts, and has everything under control can be trusted so easily?
Haha, Fan Hua didn’t believe it.
Because Zhou Miaomiao is not that kind of person!
So she was very sure that the other party understood and received her test.
Now is the other party's performance moment, and it is also a reverse test. The confusion in the eyes and the honesty in the mouth are all pretended.
This is just two women with a lot of tricks testing each other's IQ.
What if the other person’s IQ is lower than yours?
(Zhou Miaomiao: Trick her to death!)
(Fan Hua: Let her die!)
“Maybe we have a telepathic connection?”
Fan Hua smiled and said: "After going through that storm, I will put away my contempt for flattery, take the initiative to understand them, and even become like them."
"You are so smart—"
Zhou Miaomiao looked at her in a daze for a moment, and said with emotion: "I have never thought about it so deeply."
Pretend! Pretend with me!
Fan Hua smiled at the other person, thinking, "You're telling me it's deep? Who can be as deep as you?"
"Not very smart. If I were smart enough," she said with a regretful expression on her face, "there wouldn't be so many problems."
"I seem to have heard something about you."
Zhou Miaomiao tilted her head and said, "We had just been transferred here at that time, so we didn't really understand it. It was only later that they told us."
Well, they are just gossiping, it has nothing to do with me, I just listened to it passively.
Tea, very tea, green tea.
"It's all over," Fan Hua thought to himself, but said lightly, "Time will heal everything."
"I really hope so," Zhou Miaomiao let out a long sigh and said with a dejected look, "I hope time will pass quickly."
When boarding the ship, she turned around and asked Fan Hua, "Have you heard about it? It's about me."
Without waiting for Fan Hua to answer, she continued, "I just feel that my whole life is dark now."
"Where is the darkness in your life——"
Li Xuewu, who had boarded the ship first, stood in the cabin living room, turned around and looked at her and said, "Is it because the lights were not on?"
He also deliberately pointed to the light above his head, which was a very metaphorical thing.
The sun was setting, and when we came out of the Trade Management Center, it was almost time to get off work.
The yacht was parked on the river. The light in the cabin was dim. Everyone standing in it had their faces bathed in the red sunset, which was really appropriate for the scene.
pat-
The waiter on the boat turned on the lights and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was so busy that I lost my mind."
"Look -"
Standing under the light, Li Xuewu smiled and winked at Zhou Miaomiao, and said, "Is your life still dark now?"
"Hahaha--"
-
"Let's not be polite--"
Li Xuewu waved his hand, rejecting Andrew's warm hug, and said with a smile: "I haven't heard that Italians have this custom and tradition."
"This is friendship. Italians have friends too."
Andrew shook hands with Li Xuewu with a smile, and pulled him to hug him.
Everyone laughed and found their interaction very interesting, especially the foreigner who could speak Chinese.
If he spoke Mandarin, or if his Mandarin was not so standard, people would not laugh at him.
But his accent was obviously from Northeastern China, with a strong accent of corn, which made everyone laugh.
Just imagine, what would you think if a foreigner kept calling them “we” and “sister” all the time?
"Should we hug each other?"
Ai Jiaqing looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and asked, "Or should I say, is there any friendship between us?"
"Then I have to hug you--"
Li Xuewu laughed and took the initiative to hug Ai Jiaqing, the head of Wufenghang who had boarded the ship earlier.
He hugged her and joked, "Even if there's no friendship, I'll take advantage of this beautiful girl."
"Hahaha--"
"I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
Ai Jiaqing responded to him with a joke at the right time, stood up straight, and gave her seat to Smith Pike who came with her.
"Welcome to the mainland again, my friend."
Li Xuewu shook hands with the other party sincerely, and the other party also implicitly opened his arms and gave him a hug.
"Don't be like that, we haven't seen each other for just a few months."
He smiled and patted the other person's arm, stood up straight, looked at him and said: "I don't think the British like hugging more than the Italians."
"Hahaha--"
It was quite funny to see all the people gathered together, including a few foreigners speaking Chinese.
Under Andrew's arrangement, everyone sat down on the sofa. A waiter brought tea and drinks. At the same time, they could feel that the yacht had started moving.
Zhou Miaomiao stood in front of the window looking at the scenery outside curiously. Fan Hua sat on the chair behind Li Xuewu with a notebook on his legs.
When you accompany someone, you should act like you are accompanying them. She is different from Zhou Miaomiao.
The other party came to escape the trouble, but she came to work.
This was her first time to go on field work after her transfer, and it was an opportunity that Li Xuewu deliberately gave her.
The Management Committee Office is a small society where everyone is staring at everyone and stepping on everyone.
She is a woman who has just arrived at a new unit, so naturally she faces the difficult situation of how to open up the work structure.
We have to credit the leadership for helping us, as the situation has improved dramatically.
Summarize and refine the research and investigation work of Li Xuewu on behalf of the Red Star Factory Management Committee into text and report.
The text will be published in newspapers and on the radio in the form of reports.
The report will be presented on the desk of the factory leader. When the leader reads it carefully and looks at it carefully, and his eyes fall on the name of the author of the article, her mind will be opened.
So, for those of you who have just started working, or have just arrived at a department or a position, if your career is just starting, you might as well try this method.
Of course, you may not have the opportunity to follow your leader out, let alone the opportunity to walk up to the leader and listen to his stories.
But he did make a public speech, just like Li Xuewu, and not all people in the hall were members of the management center's team.
If you are a newcomer, you must have the awareness and attitude of a newcomer.
Don't be afraid of losing face, and don't be afraid of people making sarcastic remarks.
You can turn the leader's public speeches, today's research work, the implementation and instructions of the core ideas and business work into newsletters or theoretical articles, and deliver them to the newspapers in the shortest possible time.
You may get rejected, but if it passes, you succeed.
Yes, you have successfully published a communication article or a theoretical article.
Leaders need to read newspapers, whether they are major newspapers or tabloids of your unit.
You have to know that nowadays, newspaper articles are basically read by whoever writes them, and whoever writes them reads them.
So, you have to believe that the young people who came in at the same time as you don’t have this mindset or ability.
When your name appears in front of your leader, you have succeeded.
Of course he won't ask you, let alone call you to his office to praise you. This is impossible.
But as long as you persist in writing and continue to write, the editors who manage the newspaper will remember you and have more trust in your writing style.
When your articles and name appear frequently in front of your leader, who will he think of when an opportunity for a secretarial or writing job arises?
In other words, when your name is already familiar to the editor, will he inadvertently perform or praise you in his daily work?
Writing style and writing skills are key in many units. The emergence of computers and mobile phones has actually weakened the writing ability of college students.
Among those graduates, how many people can and dare to write and who really know how to write will not compete with you for this opportunity, right?
Therefore, when you have no background and no ability to be seduced, you have to create opportunities for yourself and build your own personality.
Writing and writing skills are beyond the reach of most people because they don’t have the patience. It is a unique track, and the only secret to success is to write more, practice more, and polish more.
Fan Hua is no longer a young man, and this is not his first time serving as a deputy section-level cadre, so he is naturally familiar with this method.
When Li Xuewu was talking with foreign businessmen, she looked very focused, and every sentence and every word passed through her ears.
The reason we brought her out was to let her know these things and record them so that we can show them to the factory leaders and the organization.
Otherwise, if Li Xuewu went out to sea on a boat with two foreigners on board, he would not be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
This is Fan Hua’s role, and she also knows her role.
Li Xuewu and the others might be chatting idly or talking about work. She needed to straighten out the nonsense and express it in straightforward and concise words.
At the same time, we should highlight Li Xuewu's actions and role in this trip and emphasize the practical work goals he promoted during this conversation.
If you don't understand what she did, just listen to the news broadcast. What the people on camera say is definitely different from the script.
-
"Don't even think about it—"
Li Xuewu had a smile on his face, but his tone was very firm as he rejected Ai Jiaqing's temptation.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Under the other party's slightly annoyed gaze, he said, "You can no longer do business in the world."
"You sound like I'm a bandit or a bully," Ai Jiaqing suddenly smiled and said, "I don't mean to force you to buy or sell."
"Of course I know--"
Li Xuewu also smiled casually, glanced at her meaningfully, then looked at Smith Pike and said, "If you want to force the sale, why do you need to be so polite to me, right?"
The first sentence was of course addressed to Ai Jiaqing, but the second sentence was directed to Pike.
He is the manager of a retail giant in Hong Kong, and also the traitor who betrayed his former employer.
Of course, he was helping Oriental Times Bank to acquire Watsons, and Li Xuewu didn't care whether he was an insider or not.
Otherwise, he would have been thrown into the sea and allowed to swim back to the port city.
“I don’t know how your system requires and operates.”
Seeing Li Xuewu looking at him, Smith Pike knew it was his turn to speak, so he spread his hands and said, "But I don't want to give up my own interests."
"hehe--"
Ai Jiaqing chuckled and glanced at him with disdain.
She has worked in Hong Kong for many years, so she naturally knows these foreigners very well, and she also knows what their status is like when they work in Hong Kong.
You may not believe it, but Britain does not consider British people who were born or settled in colonies as its own people.
Isn’t it weird?
But it is what it is.
You may have seen that movie, starring the King of Dance, in which he is a third-class citizen.
So do you know who the second-class citizens are?
They are the British people who were born, grew up, worked and settled in the port city.
They hold passports of their homeland, but it is difficult for them to return to their homeland, which only hopes that they will work hard to plunder the wealth of the colonized land.
Of course, the locals hope that the wealth can return to the UK, but those who do the work should not come back to avoid causing trouble.
It's just so weird!
What’s even more bizarre is that the sense of belonging to their homeland for these second-class citizens, such as Smith Pike, is almost unknown.
Just like that passport, Pike would only remember that he was British when he needed it.
When he needs to do business with the locals in Gangcheng and make friends with Li Xuewu, he will discard this identity.
So you can see that he had no psychological burden at all for betraying his old employer.
Even when Li Xuewu asked for his opinion, he expressed his attitude very frankly.
That is how you divide and how you fight, it has nothing to do with me.
But you can’t touch my share.
Parker just looked at Li Xuewu and Ai Jiaqing, showing his stinginess and scheming to the fullest.
Ai Jiaqing pursed her lips, unable to help but smile, and just looked into Li Xuewu's eyes.
On the side, Andrew looked at the few people in surprise, and the red wine glass in his hand swayed slightly, just like his heart.
“Haha ...
Li Xuewu first chuckled, and then burst into laughter.
Seeing him like this, Ai Jiaqing licked her lips and started laughing.
Zhou Miaomiao turned around and looked at the two people who were laughing loudly for no apparent reason, the Italian who was keeping secrets, and the British who was rolling his eyes.
She really couldn't understand how Li Xuewu had learned this way of communication and interaction.
I did ask Li Huaide and learned from the few words he revealed, but those were just the basics.
She didn't dare to talk nonsense in such an occasion. It was difficult for her to even listen, let alone speak.
"Can you understand what they are saying?"
Zhou Miaomiao came up behind Fan Hua and asked softly in her ear.
Fan Hua looked back at her, raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Not bad, I can understand Chinese."
"whee--"
Zhou Miaomiao naturally knew that she was joking, so she pulled a chair and sat next to her, looking like she was going to learn from her.
Fan Hua didn't pay any attention to her approaching and turned his attention back to the leader's conversation.
-
"Li, I'm sure," Pike said, looking into Li Xuewu's eyes, "her purpose is definitely not just this."
Just when Ai Jiaqing called Andrew to the bar to talk, Parker came up to Li Xuewu.
The two of them sat on the sofa, and their sight just happened to be able to see the bar.
"Ms. Lou from the Oriental Times Bank told me that Wufeng Bank will intervene in the acquisition."
Pike took a sip of red wine and said with a frown, "I don't think this is a good thing."
"You should know who is eyeing this piece of cake," he said directly, "Wufenghang's entry will bring more uncertainty to this project."
"The cake is only enough for one person, but when his friend brings a large group of friends or a giant shark..."
Pike only said half of his words, then spread out his left hand and stopped talking because Li Xuewu already understood what he was going to say.
"Have you ever heard a saying," Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at Smith Pike and said, "Unity is strength."
"Oh--"
Parker is a real foreigner, but he understands Chinese and of course knows what Li Xuewu meant.
Li Xuewu smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Let me teach you one more thing. To fight against foreign aggression, you must first stabilize the internal situation."
"Oh! I know this one!"
Pike suddenly sat up straight, repeating the words "pacify the country before fighting foreign enemies" while putting down the wine glass in his hand. He looked at Li Xuewu confidently and said, "This is what your Mr. Chang said, right!"
"Hey! Stop swearing—"
Li Xuewu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "What do you mean by our Mr. Chang? He is not ours!"
"Also, he did say this, but he wasn't the first to say it. This is the truth."
He patted Parker's knee and said earnestly: "No matter what time it is, she and I are a family."
"I like to hear that—"
Ai Jiaqing came back slowly with a glass of wine in hand, and sat down diagonally opposite Li Xuewu, smiling and saying, "Cheers to the whole family."
Li Xuewu held up the teacup and smiled bitterly, "We don't have to be like this as a family, right?"
"Oh - I see -"
Pike frowned and thought for a long time, then his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "To fight against foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country!"
He pointed at Ai Jiaqing and said to Li Xuewu, "She is your wife, right?"
"Hahaha--"
Li Xuewu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. His laughter was so unbridled in the face of Ai Jiaqing's angry expression.
Ai Jiaqing was also furious and slapped Li Xuewu's thigh hard, saying angrily, "You taught him this, right?"
"No, no, no, I came up with this myself!"
Smith Pike was still not satisfied and emphasized seriously: "I know Chinese very well, you can't fool me."
"Indeed, you do understand——"
Li Xuewu gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Even I admit defeat, hahahaha!"
"You're still laughing—"
Ai Jiaqing glared at him, looked at Smith and explained: "You can't use your wife casually, this is what my wife wants!"
"Ah? Ah? Is-is it true?"
Smith Parker looked at Ai Jiaqing in pretended surprise, spreading his hands with a look of disbelief.
But Ai Jiaqing rolled his eyes at him, thinking that not all foreigners are straightforward, they are quite cunning.
After living and working in Hong Kong for so many years, how dare you pretend that you don’t know what “wife” means?
"Did you hear what he said?"
Ai Jiaqing ignored Smith who was pretending to be serious, and looked at Li Xuewu and said seriously: "About the Watsons acquisition case."
"Of course, it doesn't look good."
Li Xuewu sat up straight, put the cup in his hand on the small table, crossed his right leg and said, "I don't think it's our problem."
“I didn’t say it was your problem.”
Ai Jiaqing said with a very bad look: "But without us, your problem is more serious."
"so what?"
Li Xuewu spread his hands, looked at her and asked, "You haven't even solved the problem of Watsons yet, and you're already worrying about the problems of cars and ships?"
"These are two different things. I'm talking to you seriously."
Ai Jiaqing frowned slightly and said, "You may have been targeted. Our entry only stimulated this conflict, which was bound to emerge sooner or later."
"I don't understand what you're saying," Li Xuewu looked into her eyes and said, "You have to drink wine one sip at a time, eat food one bite at a time, and do things one by one."
"You'd better tell me whether the Watsons thing can be done."
He said to Ai Jiaqing very seriously: "If you can't do it, withdraw as soon as possible. We are still partners. Don't affect other cooperative relationships."
"Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."
Ai Jiaqing drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, looked at Smith Pike and said, "I guarantee it with the reputation of Wufeng Bank."
After that, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Can we talk about other issues now?"
-
"Welcome, welcome——"
Xu Sinian stood at the dock with a smile on his face and shook hands with Li Xuewu enthusiastically.
At the same time, his eyes glanced at the figure that flashed by on the boat in an instant.
"Don't look around, be careful of getting stye——"
Li Xuewu smiled and poked his belly, jokingly saying, "You're waiting for me so late, aren't you?"
"Does this need to be said?"
Xu Sinian withdrew his gaze from the ship, smiled and shook hands with other accompanying personnel from the Red Star Factory.
"Let's go. There was a call from Jinmen saying you haven't eaten yet, right?"
He greeted with a smile: "The food is ready, we are waiting for you."
"hehe--"
Li Xuewu walked beside him with a chuckle and asked, "So attentive?"
He raised his hand to check the time, motioned to Xu Sinian and asked, "It's almost ten o'clock. Have you prepared food for us?"
"Look, when words come out of your mouth, they are no longer words."
Xu Sinian smiled and patted his arm, saying, "Now that you're here, how can I let you go hungry?"
As he said this, he blinked his eyes away from everyone and made a lot of small movements with his hands.
"Hahaha--"
Li Xuewu was really happy today. He laughed constantly and was very cheerful.
He turned around and said to Fan Hua and the others, "Since Director Xu has invited us so kindly, we can't refuse."
"When we talk tomorrow, please be careful not to embarrass Director Xu, or he will be heartbroken over this meal."
"Look, what you said is—"
Xu Sinian smiled and waved his hands at everyone, saying, "Don't listen to Deputy Director Li. I didn't mean that. He misinterpreted me."
"I am sincere. Now that you are here, you are my family, right?"
He greeted everyone, causing them to laugh, and the atmosphere was very good.
Li Xuewu made his thoughts clear so that the accompanying cadres and staff would not have to guess or be shy.
Xu Sinian took the matter back, not only stating his attitude and position, but also expressing his intention to show goodwill to everyone in a more tactful way.
Several cars left the dock, and the yacht that had just docked also left again, taking away Parker, Ai Jiaqing and others who had not disembarked.
We've already talked about what needs to be discussed, so why get off the boat?
They all have their reasons for staying away from the real world, and there is no need to make things difficult for Li Xuewu or embarrass Xu Sinian.
The small convoy went straight to the Yingcheng Shipyard Guesthouse, and Li Xuewu and Xu Sinian were in the first car.
"It's so sudden, what do you think?"
Xu Sinian looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is the situation so serious? Even you need to..."
"Don't guess randomly, it's nothing."
Li Xuewu glanced at him, took a deep breath, and said, "You know about the recent developments in the factory, right?"
"Hmm, hm?" Xu Sinian agreed, but then he felt something was wrong and looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You are talking about..."
"Pretending to be confused with me?"
Li Xuewu chuckled and looked at the night view outside the window. The Yingcheng Shipyard was working day and night, just like the Beijing Ecological Industrial Zone, rushing to meet deadlines.
He paused and said, "The deputy director of the division went back from you, but you didn't say anything?"
"You mean this..."
Just as he was about to explain, he saw Li Xuewu turn around and stare at him, which scared him.
The words he was about to explain were interrupted and he swallowed them back into his stomach.
This is a warning to him: don't be fooled and think carefully before answering.
"I said I didn't know, do you believe me?"
Xu Sinian smiled bitterly and said, "He's here with me. I have to be on guard against him. I will ask anyone who comes into contact with him clearly."
"but--"
He looked at Li Xuewu seriously and said, "I just don't know how he got back. Is that scary?"
"It's not him that's scary, nor how he got back."
Li Xuewu said in a deep voice: "It's the leader who still remembers him——"
I wrote a short paragraph today, which is my past experience. I would like to dedicate it to the young people and wish all of you great success and advancement.
