"It's okay, Xiaobai."
Zhong Yuemin looked at Zhou Xiaobai sincerely and said, "You can go to Kunming Lake anytime. As long as you are willing, I can accompany you anytime."
"Thank you, Zhong Yuemin"
Zhou Xiaobai raised his hand to tidy up the hair beside his ears, and his tone was not as intense as before.
In response to Zhong Yuemin's gentle voice, she said apologetically: "This event is very important to me."
"I know, I understand, really"
Zhong Yuemin smiled and comforted her: "After all, it is a foreign affairs activity and you are interested in it. This opportunity is rare."
He tried hard to make Zhou Xiaobai not feel apologetic or self-blame for his behavior, and was as careful with him as he would be with flowers.
Zhou Xiaobai finally smiled, looked at him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding, I will bring you a gift."
“No, the gift is not important.”
Zhong Yuemin looked at her seriously and said, "Your smile is more important than anything else."
"what--"
Luo Yun really couldn't stand these two people anymore, so he grinned, pushed the cart and turned back to the compound.
Zhou Xiaobai glanced at her, smiled politely at Zhong Yuemin, and then went to chase Luo Yun.
"Hey! Xiaobai!"
Zhong Yuemin suddenly remembered something, stopped her and asked, "Are you going back tonight?"
Having said this, he gestured to the dark sky and said, "I can wait for you."
"Forget it, I have to get up early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "We're staying here tonight, you guys should go back early."
After saying that, he looked at Zhong Yuemin again, then pushed the cart and disappeared out the gate.
The closed gate is the barrier that cuts off Zhong Yuemin's sight.
"I really don't understand you, why?"
Yuan Jun looked at him with some annoyance, curled his lips, and said, "Do you like her so much?"
"You don't understand~"
Zhong Yuemin was still looking at the gate, even though Zhou Xiaobai was no longer there.
He raised his head slightly with satisfaction, looked at the night sky and said, "She is like the moonlight, pure white and flawless, so lovable."
After saying that, Zhong Yuemin turned around, looked at the two of them and confirmed: "She is the only one~"
"But she won't even let you touch her hand!"
Yuan Jun's words were like a huge hammer hitting Zhong Yuemin's heart.
“No, you can’t say that about her.”
Zhong Yuemin shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "You have to know that the education and growth environment she received since childhood will not allow me to do anything out of line with her."
"She is pure and otherworldly"
He frowned and thought about the adjective he could think of, and emphasized: "Like a pure white ..."
"White Lotus?"
Zheng Tong raised his eyebrows and gave an answer.
"Yes, it's like a white lotus that grows out of mud without getting stained, and washes in clear water without being coquettish!"
Zhong Yuemin was reminded and seemed to have found his goal. He pointed at Zheng Tong and confirmed: "Holy, noble, elegant, and charming."
"You are hopeless"
Yuan Jun shook his head slightly, looked at Zhong Yuemin as if he was a fool, and reminded him: "You obviously know that her identity cannot be 'from the mud', so how can she be untainted."
After that, he curled his lips slightly, pointed to the dark gate and the courtyard, and asked, "Do you know what they will do when they get on the boat?"
"You have a really dirty mind~"
Zhong Yuemin looked at Yuan Jun with amusement and confidence, and scolded: "They are just going to participate in the event, and there are foreign businessmen here, what are you thinking about?"
"No, absolutely not."
As if he was explaining to Yuan Jun, or as if he was encouraging himself, he emphasized again: "Xiaobai is a good girl."
"When did you go blind?"
Out of brotherly affection, Yuan Jun bluntly reminded: "Look at her attitude towards Li Xuewu just now, is it the same as yours?"
"besides!"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and confirmed: "She doesn't like you, she is just playing with you, when will you wake up?"
"You don't understand me, and you don't understand Xiaobai even more"
Zhong Yuemin looked at Yuan Jun and said kindly: "I understand what you mean, and I also know that she doesn't like me now."
"Even so, I will always like her."
He said with some confidence: "It's impossible that if you are nice to others, they will reward you. You just need to do your best and stick to your principles."
“This is a world famous saying”
Zhong Yuemin was afraid that the two would not believe it, so he emphasized it.
But Yuan Jun scoffed at this statement. Making meaningless efforts just for the white moonlight in his heart?
"Yuemin, you really make me feel strange now"
He shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't expect you would be like this...Okay."
Seeing that Zhong Yuemin was a little unhappy, Yuan Jun knew that the truth was unpleasant to the ears, so he chose to shut up.
"I know what you want to say, it's just that my love has no dignity"
Zhong Yuemin nodded seriously and said: "But what I want to say is, if you like someone, don't care about dignity."
He looked at Yuan Jun and emphasized: "Xiao Bai has explained it to me and apologized!"
"She even explained to me why she went out with that guy and went to social events, which proves that she has feelings for me. Otherwise, why wouldn't she explain it to you?"
“I… fuck…!”
Yuan Jun was completely speechless. Yes, why didn’t Zhou Xiaobai explain it to him? This question stumped him.
It has to be said that love can make people lose their way and overwhelm their minds, but the logical thinking under such circumstances is really unexpected.
Zhong Yuemin consciously won the debate against Yuan Jun and convinced the other party. He said confidently: "I can abandon my dignity for love, and this is not self-degradation."
"On the contrary!"
He pointed at Yuan Jun and taught him, "Don't worry about dignity. If I want to like her, I will like her. If I don't like her now, I can like her again in a few days. The initiative is in my hands!"
"You are such a genius!"
Looking at Zhong Yuemin, who was stubborn and philosophical, Yuan Jun finally understood how mental illness was contracted.
Zhong Yuemin smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiaobai is a good girl."
"I think Yuemin is right, but..."
Zheng Tong, standing aside, interjected, "Maybe she has a good friend, Luo Yun, who is also a good girl. She has been reminding her of that just now."
He explained: "Just get on the boat, it doesn't matter if you go out to play. With Luo Yun here, nothing can go wrong."
"why?"
Yuan Jun glanced at him and said, "I just don't like her. She's always making such a fuss."
"That's because you look at others through tinted glasses."
Zheng Tong emphasized: "The Zuo Jie who handled the fight dispute last time is the one from the compound, and Luo Yun is his girlfriend."
"You know this as well?!"
Yuan Jun looked at Zheng Tong in surprise. When had the usually mean Zheng Tong ever cared about a girl?
Zheng Tong was unable to answer their doubts for a moment, and he stiffened his neck and said in defense: "I just know it!"
"Oh - I see!"
Zhong Yuemin and Yuan Jun spoke in a long voice and looked at each other. Then Zhong Yuemin nodded at Zheng Tong and said, "So you like her!"
"I'm not!"
"I don't!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Zheng Tong's face turned red after hearing what they said. He explained, "I just heard it casually!"
The three of them pushed the cart out along the street, their shadows elongated under the moonlight.
Among the three figures that were walking away, a voice still emphasized: "It's true!..."
-
Guan Guan Ju Dou, in the river continent.
My lady, my gentleman is good.
Although being a lady is good, there are times when you cannot get her. If a lady already has someone in her heart, what can she get?
In the club compound, Zhou Xiaobai held Luo Yun's hand tightly and persuaded him in a low voice.
Luo Yun walked forward in annoyance, complaining about Zhou Xiaobai's childishness and selfishness.
But Zhou Xiaobai's face was full of grievance. When they arrived at the dormitory, closed the door, and sat on the bed facing each other.
"I didn't promise him anything, and I'm not related to him, so why should I be responsible for his efforts?"
Zhou Xiaobai pouted and complained: "I need feelings, but I can't have friendship. Even making friends requires choice?"
"But he likes you and is here to pursue you."
Luo Yun reminded him, "His purpose is very clear. Do you want to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth?"
“I didn’t, but he didn’t say so.”
Zhou Xiaobai twisted his body and leaned against the head of the bed, saying: "I just decided to get to know him, I didn't say we want to develop any kind of relationship."
"As for what he thinks, that's his business, I have no right to interfere."
She crossed her arms, looked at the quilt at the end of the bed, and emphasized: "He did all these willingly."
"You know what he did, too?"
Luo Yun held his forehead helplessly and said, "You said he did it voluntarily, but you can't ignore his concern for you, right!"
"It doesn't matter. I can't use the criteria of like or dislike to filter out the opposite sex around me."
Zhou Xiaobai looked at Luo Yun and said defensively: "There are many people who like me. Should I agree to their requests?"
"Just because of what they've done for me, or what they've given me?"
She said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Everyone has the right to be liked and the right to like others."
"You're not going to lie to yourself, are you?"
Luo Yun looked at her and said seriously: "You know what you are doing. What I told you is not the same thing."
"If you keep doing this, you'll hurt yourself sooner or later, especially now!"
She looked at Zhou Xiaobai and asked, "Is the choice you are making now really what you want?"
“I don’t even know what I want, so how can I be sure and make choices?”
Zhou Xiaobai leaned sideways, staring at the darkness outside the window and muttered, "If you haven't tried it, do you know what apples taste like?"
"I want to try what different apples taste like."
"..."
Luo Yun looked at her, shook his head slightly, and said: "Love is not the same as apples..."
"Why not? I think so."
Zhou Xiaobai retorted: "There is bitterness, sweetness, sourness and astringency."
She curled her lips, lowered her head and said: "I want to experience more, at least to know how many flavors of love there are."
After saying that, Zhou Xiaobai looked at Luo Yun and said with certainty: "There is no harm in this, and I have nothing to lose."
“Apple is different…”
Luo Yun shook his head slightly, looked at Zhou Xiaobai seriously and said: "You can eat bitter, sweet, and sour, but if you eat astringent, you will have no chance to taste other flavors."
Ignoring Zhou Xiaobai's momentary daze, she continued to ask, "You said you didn't lose anything, what else do you want to lose?"
She looked at Zhou Xiaobai with amusement and said, "It's only him. If it were someone else, you would have eaten the sour apple a long time ago and been eaten up and thrown away."
"Ah! What did you say~"
Zhou Xiaobai understood what she said, blushing and saying, "Brother Wu is not that kind of person!"
"I didn't say he was that kind of person. I said I was glad he wasn't that kind of person. But how do you know what kind of person he is?!"
Luo Yun looked at her and asked as if he was telling a tongue twister: "You said that Brother Wu doesn't want your youth, your cleverness and understanding, and even less does he want your active dedication."
"What do you think he wants from you?"
She shook her head suspiciously, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does he want your coquettish play?"
"What if~"
Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said with his head down: "What if he likes me..."
"Heh - don't be silly, he has a daughter."
Luo Yun chuckled and said: "He probably doesn't need you to provide him with these emotional values, but if you are willing."
"Of course I do!"
Zhou Xiaobai looked at Luo Yun and said seriously: "He has the strong physique of a young man and the mature wisdom of a middle-aged man. He is the kind of person that I respect and admire."
"Just as you said!"
She nodded, as if she had just figured it out, and said, "He really is a bit like my dad."
"You are crazy!"
Luo Yun's eyes widened and he scolded, "Do you really think of him as your father?"
"Of course not!"
Zhou Xiaobai looked at her with a look that said "you're crazy" and emphasized with a smile: "I'm talking about feelings, feelings!"
"It's that feeling of lying in his arms, feeling safe and warm, comfortable and...it's that feeling of liking and something, anyway, I can't put it into words."
Seeing Zhou Xiaobai blushing as he told this story, Luo Yun was a little stunned.
Only after she finished speaking did he ask blankly, "When you were with him, did you really want that?"
"Fuck you, only you would have such a weird idea"
Zhou Xiaobai blushed and avoided Luo Yun's gaze as he emphasized: "He is a gentleman."
“Maybe, but not definitely”
Luo Yun shook his head slightly and said, "Have you ever thought about his real purpose?"
She counted on her fingers to help Zhou Xiaobai: "You are allowed to work and exercise here, and I will take you to enjoy traveling and give you the opportunity to go to international hotels and get in touch with the outside world..."
“Well, maybe.”
Zhou Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "That's why I say he is a gentleman, the kind of person I admire."
"He never asked for anything from me and always gave something to me."
Zhou Xiaobai said seriously: "If he needs me to do something for him, I am willing to do it, even if it is dangerous or difficult, it is worth it."
"That's why I said you fell in love with him!"
Luo Yun stared and said, "I fell deeply in love with him and can't help myself!"
"This is the scary thing about mature men. It's extremely dangerous!"
She shook her head in fear and said, "He will lead you into a trap and make you do things for him willingly. You have been captured by him."
"Haha, I couldn't ask for more"
Zhou Xiaobai chuckled, shook his head and sighed: "But he never said that, or even did that, just like he never took the initiative to respond to my initiative."
"It's not time yet, just wait, maybe he has already got what he wanted!"
Luo Yun said with an expression that said I understand everything: "A man will reveal his true nature one day, showing his sharp claws and tearing you into pieces."
She tapped Zhou Xiaobai's forehead and said, "You are just a little white rabbit with a head full of fantasies!"
"What about you?"
Zhou Xiaobai looked at Luo Yun and asked with amusement, "Did Zuo Jie show his claws and reach out to you?"
Suddenly she noticed that Luo Yun's expression was a little unnatural. She seemed to know something and said in surprise: "Okay! Luo Yun!"
"I'm not, I didn't!"
Before Luo Yun could say anything, he confessed, "We are really not... not what you think!"
"You still said that!"
Zhou Xiaobai held her down, tickling her and saying angrily, "You're still talking about me, but it turns out you've already... eaten sour apples!"
"When! Tell me! Tell the truth!"
"Ah~hahaha~I don't want it~"
Luo Yun struggled hard and refused to say anything even though Zhou Xiaobai was giggling. It was too embarrassing.
This made Zhou Xiaobai so angry that he slapped her butt hard and said, "You are such a fool!"
She sat aside, tidying up her scattered hair, and said angrily: "You are so affectionate, but now you turn around and look down on me."
"Ours is a normal relationship!"
Luo Yun sat up with a red face and emphasized: "We are single men and women, but you are different."
"That's all I have!"
Zhou Xiaobai crossed his arms and pouted, "Humph!"
After humming, he still felt unsatisfied, so he grabbed Luo Yun's neck and threatened: "Tell me! Tell me! How does it feel!"
"Ah! Zhou Xiaobai! I'm going to die!"
Luo Yun said something in a coquettish voice, then he hugged Zhou Xiaobai and lay down, whispering in her ear: "It was uncomfortable at first, but later it felt like flying on the clouds, hehe!"
"Ah! Are you ashamed?"
Zhou Xiaobai slapped Luo Yun's strange hand away, then looked at her and asked, "Are you going to Tianjin with me or not?"
"Ugh--"
Luo Yun sighed softly, looked at Zhou Xiaobai and shook his head helplessly, saying: "I'd rather sacrifice my life for you, who asked me to be your mother?"
"Screw you!"
……
What is a best friend?
They are the people who follow you in doing stupid things even though they know you are stupid.
This is true for Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong, and Luo Yun as well.
-
Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, the command vehicle had already arrived at the entrance of the club.
Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun were wrapped tightly and were sent to the car by Zuo Jie with a smile.
Of course, Zuo Jie was not worried about what might happen if his girlfriend went out with Brother Wu.
According to Brother Wu's vision, if he wanted to like someone, he would have liked her a long time ago. The thing that is most in abundance in this compound is girls.
Luo Yun seemed to feel the same way and had no reservations when he mentioned this matter to Zuo Jie.
The two of them really want to be together, especially when their parents and family are not around, they warm each other up and seem to be more supportive of each other.
Originally, I planned to go to Kunming Lake with Zhou Xiaobai on Sunday and then go shopping.
Now I have miscalculated. After this trip to Tianjin, I guess I can only come back tomorrow morning.
The command vehicle took the two men directly to the dispatching workshop platform of the steel rolling mill, where a freight train was parked with a business carriage at the rear of the freight train.
There were some staff standing on the platform, as well as cadres who were in charge of cargo transportation and handover.
However, there were also people who got out of the official carriage to get some fresh air and smoke, and they didn't seem to be people from the steel mill.
Escorted by Han Jiankun, the two got into the carriage and found Li Xuewu who was chatting with someone.
"Come"
When Li Xuewu saw the two people, he waved to them and then introduced them to the people around him.
It seemed like they had met last time. Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun stood next to Li Xuewu's seat. Zhou Xiaobai was in front, and Luo Yun consciously moved back a little.
"My Two Little Sisters"
Li Xuewu gestured to them and introduced them: "Zhou Xiaobai, Luo Yun".
After saying that, he gestured to the other people and introduced them to them: "I met you last time."
"Yes"
Zhou Xiaobai greeted the three people sitting opposite him with a smile: "Hello Director Liu, Hello Director Gao, Hello Director Zhou."
Because of his position, Luo Yun just nodded in response to Zhou Xiaobai's greeting.
Zhou Gancheng and others already knew the identity of the girl standing in the front, and she was Li Xuewu's bargaining chip to trick them and threaten them.
Seeing Li Xuewu formally introducing her to them, she smiled and nodded.
It's not a formal occasion, just a private gathering, there's no need to be so serious.
And knowing the identities of Zhou Xiaobai and the other, he naturally has no scruples, but he can also make friends with them.
Liu Shaozong ordered Zhou Xiaobai and said that he was deeply impressed by him last time.
As for how profound it was and what kind of impression it was, he didn't say and Zhou Xiaobai didn't ask either. She didn't care much.
After chatting with the three of them for a while, he saw Xue Zhifu coming onto the platform, so he stood up and went outside to greet him.
"Are you a good person after all~"
Liu Shaozong raised his eyebrows at Gao Yaqin who was sitting opposite him, and said meaningfully: "No wonder you have achieved such success at such a young age."
Gao Yaqin glanced at him and then looked out the window. Li Xuewu was chatting with Xue Zhifu, the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, and the British business representatives who were accompanying them.
"Old Zhou, why don't you go down and welcome them?"
She turned her head to look at Zhou Gancheng, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said meaningfully: "This is your job."
"It's Sunday today, where does the work come from?"
Zhou Gancheng opened his eyes and looked out the window along Gao Yaqin's hand. He saw Li Xuewu standing in a black woolen coat with an aura that was no less impressive than that of the British representatives, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.
He turned to Liu Shaozong and asked, "Your leaders in the Ministry of Industry don't value talent. Don't you think of making the best use of young cadres like this?"
"Of course I do, but I can only think about it."
Liu Shaozong smiled slightly and said: "Some seedlings have owners and cannot be moved at will, otherwise you will be beaten."
After saying that, he pointed behind him and reminded: "Deputy Director Li's little sister is listening here. Be careful or she will report you and you will be beaten."
"hehe"
Zhou Gancheng turned around and saw the two little girls who had just greeted him staring at him with sharp eyes.
"Don't do that, I'm afraid of getting beaten."
"Hehehe"
Liu Shaozong couldn't help but laugh when he heard his teasing, especially when he looked at the two little girls.
Luo Yun rolled his eyes and muttered, "Childish!"
After saying that, he pulled Zhou Xiaobai inside to find a place to rest.
Being despised by the little girl, Liu Shaozong's laughter stopped abruptly, and he felt quite embarrassed under Gao Yaqin's teasing gaze.
“Children nowadays…”
“They are much more independent-minded than us!”
Gao Yaqin interrupted him half with emotion and half with a reminder, and said: "Be independent-minded, decisive, take action, and have execution ability."
"Ugh--"
Liu Shaozong seemed to understand, and seemed to remember something. He sighed leisurely, then shook his head and said nothing more.
Zhou Gancheng glanced at the two girls who were leaving, then asked Gao Yaqin, "Are you so free on the weekend?"
"Isn't it the same for you?"
Gao Yaqin rolled her eyes at him and said, "I heard that you were not invited at all and you came here uninvited."
"Who said that?"
Zhou Gancheng raised an eyebrow and said, "He was the first one to call me last night. If I hadn't reminded him, he might not have invited you two."
“Tsk~tsk~tsk~”
Gao Yaqin shook her head slightly and clicked her tongue and said, "Old Zhou, I really didn't expect you to become like this. You used to be such a serious person."
"You're not serious now?"
Zhou Gancheng touched his face and asked suspiciously: "Am I not serious now?"
"Well, worse than those two kids."
Gao Yaqin nodded formally, then smiled and said: "Especially the face, it's a lot bigger."
“You are scolding me.”
Zhou Gancheng smiled helplessly, then looked out the window and said: "Someone told me that if I don't make my face bigger, I will suffer."
"You finally understand the truth that it is better to die with dignity than to suffer in life!"
Gao Yaqin curled her lips and said, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
As she said this, she looked at Zhou Gancheng and asked, "I heard that you have some connection with Deputy Director Li?"
"Heh - what origin? It's a bad fate."
Zhou Gancheng crossed his arms and said with a pout: "When I first met him, he was just a security officer who had just been demobilized."
"But look at you now!"
He pointed outside the window and saw Li Xuewu chatting and laughing with a foreign businessman in English, and said, "He has already soared into the sky."
"Hey, why does it smell sour here?"
Gao Yaqin frowned and teased, "Old Zhou, are you really envious of Deputy Director Li's youth and success?"
"Oh, you say that as if you're not envious!"
Zhou Gancheng twisted his body, looked at her and said, "Tell me the truth, have you ever seen a young man like this?"
"I've seen it before, it's right here."
Gao Yaqin pointed at Li Xuewu outside the window, then said with a smile: "It's enough to see only one person like this. If there are too many, it's easy to be hurt."
After that, he answered the question just raised by Zhou Gancheng: "I don't envy his achievements because that is his path."
She picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, then shook her head slightly and said, "A person's fate is determined by heaven. You have not experienced his life, so why should you be so envious?"
"Maybe you didn't see him when he was suffering!"
“Hmm, that’s a very thoughtful sentence.”
Zhou Gancheng smiled, looked at her and said: "No wonder you come from an ideological education background. You are really talented and knowledgeable."
"Hey! Lao Zhou, you can talk and make a fuss, but don't curse!"
Gao Yaqin nodded at him, then gestured to the people outside the window who were about to get on the bus and said, "Just wait and see, this trip will be a big show."
Zhou Gancheng stood up leisurely, looked down into Gao Yaqin's eyes and said seriously: "Wait and see!"
After saying that, he walked forward, apparently going to receive foreign businessmen.
Liu Shaozong glanced at him, curled his lips, and said to Gao Yaqin, "You say one thing and mean another."
Gao Yaqin smiled and said, "It's nothing more than that, why be so serious?"
This actually touched upon the topic of the conversation between the two men just now, and then went back to Liu Shaozong's evaluation of Zhou Gancheng.
Liu Shaozong drooped his eyelids, picked up the teacup and said: "Their Ministry of Foreign Affairs suffered a lot of losses this time. Look at him sighing, maybe he has already made a decision."
"Isn't this normal?"
Gao Yaqin looked at the busyness on the platform with dignity, and said leisurely: "Why do you think he came?"
"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the father dies, the mother remarries"
She said with some emotion: "Sometimes fate changes in a moment, whether you like it or not."
"He is lucky, the turning point happened to Li Xuewu."
Liu Shaozong twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "At least he got one level this time, and he is very happy."
"Envy?"
Gao Yaqin looked at him with a smile and said, "Didn't you hear what Lao Zhou just said? Sometimes people have to be a little shameless."
After saying that, he gestured behind him and reminded him, "See? I'm embarrassed to thank you in person. I'll find another opportunity."
"Don't stretch it either."
Gao Yaqin advised: "After the storm, no matter how many fish are in the bucket, they are yours. Who can steal them if someone sees them?"
Liu Shaozong's eyebrows jumped when he heard this. He lowered his head and drank tea, feeling a little embarrassed.
He curled his lips and said that Zhou Gancheng had at least advanced one level, but he didn't say how much he had actually improved.
It was Gao Yaqin who revealed his thoughts and confirmed his guess.
The recent job changes of the three people are most likely the result of Li Xuewu’s operation, or indirect influence.
There is no need to delve into how this influence is generated; it may be a sentence, an article, or even a few rumors.
But this is the result. Now that the three of them have already arrived here, they naturally have a definite guess in their hearts.
Sorry, it may have something to do with our identities, levels and ages.
-
The doors closed and the train responded with a series of whistles at the signalman's command.
The vehicle started up as people in the box felt it, but it did not affect the conversation inside.
Li Xuewu raised his hand to signal Bao Pegang to drink tea, and said politely: "I came up with this idea at the spur of the moment, and the schedule is a bit tight. Please forgive me, Director Bao."
"Hey! That's not far off!"
Bao Peigang smiled, put down the teacup in his hand and said: "You and Director Xue invited me out to play, how can I complain, we are friends after all."
After all, he is in the business of economy, so what he said is very universal and can be trusted by everyone.
Li Xuewu looked at him with a smile and said, "It was Zhang Changming, the vice president of Tianjin Fisheries Corporation. He suddenly called me and said that the waves today are very good and suitable for fishing."
“So I was thinking, who should I invite to come with me?”
He leaned back in his chair and said to Bao Peigang: "My secretary Xiaoli reminded me that since we are going out to sea and these are all friends of ours for business cooperation, how can we not invite Director Bao along?"
"Oh? Really!"
Bao Peigang didn't care whether what he said was true or not. He glanced at Peng Xiaoli who was smiling and nodded, saying, "That's right. Remind your leaders more often in the future how lonely it is to go out and play alone."
"Hahaha"
Li Xuewu smiled and waved to Peng Xiaoli, signaling him to go and get busy, and he continued: "I have already told our Deputy Director Xue that if we encounter pirates at sea, we will abandon you. You are the richest man."
“Ahem—hahaha!”
Bao Peigang coughed because of his teasing, then looked at him with amusement and said, "I think you look like a pirate!"
"Maybe!"
Li Xuewu rubbed his eyes and said, "Wear an eye patch, grow a beard, and put two kitchen knives on your waist, maybe you can do some business with no capital."
"Ah - it's not easy to do business without capital!"
Bao Peigang glanced at Li Xuewu and said meaningfully: "The more you earn, the more you lose. This is a hard truth."
"With you here, I have nothing to fear!"
Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement and blinked, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Bao Peigang was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter, pointed at Li Xuewu and scolded him, "No one can make fun of others like you!"
"How dare I laugh at you, God of Wealth"
Li Xuewu knocked on the armrest of the chair, raised his eyebrows and said: "Deputy Director Jing has been complaining to me, saying that it is so unfair."
"She said she is also in charge of finance, and you are also in charge of finance, but she is far inferior to you!"
"Oh? Deputy Director Jing criticized me?"
Bao Peigang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "It is a criticism, it is a criticism. Our unit really still has a lot of work to do to improve."
“The work system may be gradually extended, but work efficiency should be effectively improved.”
Li Xuewu reminded meaningfully: "After the New Year, the spring breeze will blow over, the snow on the ground will melt, and the glaciers will disappear."
He pointed to the big river passing by the window and said, "The wind is blowing right now, and the water is abundant. If we miss the spring ploughing season, every household will be busy with farming, and no one will have time to take care of anyone else!"
"You said so, didn't you?!"
"Yes, Deputy Director Li is right!"
Bao Peigang smiled, nodded and said: "Timing is important and opportunities are hard to come by. We are also thinking about what crops we should grow."
With a bitter look on his face, he said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid the sky won't be clear, I'm afraid there won't be rain, I'm afraid the land will be dry, I'm afraid the land will be waterlogged, and I'm even more afraid that there will be no autumn harvest."
"Deputy Director Li"
He looked at Li Xuewu seriously and asked, "What kind of crops do you think we should grow?"
"I?"
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "I say you reap what you sow, do you believe it?"
"Huh? Hahahaha!"
Bao Pei just reacted and burst into laughter. Even Zhou Xiaobai who was passing by in the carriage heard it clearly.
"Brother Wu?!"
Zhou Xiaobai knocked gently on the door of the box and said, "Director Xue is looking for you."
"understood"
Li Xuewu responded in the box, then said to Bao Peigang with a smile: "You got up too early in the morning, you should rest for a while, and we will talk when we arrive in Tianjin."
"Okay, get busy."
Bao Peigang stood up and saw him out, reminding him: "We are all friends, so don't be polite."
When they reached the corridor, Li Xuewu took Zhou Xiaobai to their seats and asked about their plans.
"We found a soft sleeper and Luo Yun fell asleep again, saying he was very sleepy."
Zhou Xiaobai responded to his question, and at the same time pointed to the box behind him and asked: "Is this your friend?"
"Huh? Who?"
Li Xuewu looked back and saw that there was no one in the corridor.
Zhou Xiaobai pointed to the box, reminding her that she was asking about the box they had just come out of.
"Oh! Haha, you mean Director Bao?"
Li Xuewu looked at her and smiled, saying, "We are just partners, not friends."
"Then he just..."
Zhou Xiaobai pursed his lips and asked, "He said you two are friends, isn't that right?"
"of course not"
Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement and explained: "He talks a lot of nonsense and he doesn't even believe what he says."
"what--"
Zhou Xiaobai understood, grinned, and commented: "He lives a very tiring life!"
"Yeah, you hit the nail on the head!"
Li Xuewu gave her a thumbs up, then entered their box and said with a smile: "You really dare to occupy it, this is prepared for the leaders."
"I don't care—"
Luo Yun's voice on the bunk was a little lazy, and he complained: "Xiao Bai asked me to get up and clean up at 4:30. I hate her!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I forgot to congratulate you, Brother Wu. It's a great joy to have a baby boy!"
She was clearly speaking to Li Xuewu, but her glance at Zhou Xiaobai was slightly provocative.
Zhou Xiaobai glared at her and also congratulated Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu looked at their childish behavior with amusement, patted the bunk, and signaled them to rest.
Zhou Xiaobai felt a little distressed when he heard Li Xuewu's frank thanks.
"Take a break, it's been more than two hours."
Li Xuewu said something when he left the box and then closed the door.
Seeing Xue Zhifu standing beside his seat and waving at him, he walked straight over.
"You got up so early in the morning, why didn't you take a break?"
Li Xuewu greeted with a smile: "Could the box be occupied by someone?"
"Haha, the little girl is quite cute"
Xue Zhifu joked with a smile, then gestured to the British representative sitting opposite him and said, "Come on, we have time. Mr. Parker wants to talk to you more."
"Well, if your body allows, that's exactly what I'm thinking."
Li Xuewu sat down next to Xue Zhifu with a smile, looked at him and greeted him: "I wanted to remind you just now on the platform that we will take the train to Tianjin, and then board a boat for a while, so it's best to take a rest."
"Thank you, Mr. Li, it was actually very interesting to travel here"
Smith Pike greeted Li Xuewu politely, and then explained: "The most important thing about going out to play is participation and the process. I don't want to miss the most meaningful part of this trip."
Having said that, he gestured to the teacup in front of him and asked, "Can this be called a tea party?"
"Hehehe~"
Li Xuewu chuckled and glanced at Xue Zhifu, then nodded and said to him: "It can also be called morning tea, or casual chat."
“Oh! Chinese is very profound.”
Pike smiled and spread his hands, saying: "This place is very charming and attracts me, especially your culture."
"After all, it's been five thousand years."
Li Xuewu said proudly: "And it is the only civilization without any interruptions. If we want to understand an era, we just need to look for information."
“It’s really charming”
Pike shook his head slightly and sighed: "You will rise eventually, and even stand on top of the world again."
"Oh?"
Li Xuewu looked around, sized him up and said with a smile: "I seldom hear Mr. Parker's words from my foreign friends."
"They are all ignorant, shallow, stupid people"
Parker raised his eyebrows slightly and reminded Li Xuewu: "They are not worthy of your friendship."
