Chapter 911 Danger! Danger! Danger!

"Xiao Li"

Just when Peng Xiaoli was sorting out the documents, the voice of Sun Jian, director of the General Office, came from the door: "Is the leader not here?"

"director"

Peng Xiaoli took the initiative to stand up and greeted, "The leader is in Deputy Team Leader Xiao's office."

"Oh, okay"

Sun Jian stood at the door and glanced into the office. When he saw him stand up, he waved his hand to indicate that he should not be polite and should not stand up to greet him.

Peng Xiaoli would naturally not be so tactless. Even though he has reached his current position, he dare not joke with someone like Sun Jian. The other party used to be the deputy section chief, and now he is the section chief.

So when he saw Sun Jian coming, he stood up and pretended to pour water for him, but was naturally stopped by Sun Jian. After all, he was not in the sequence of people who could drink tea in Li Xuewu's office.

"How is it, I have been following the leader for a few days, what do you think?"

Sun Jian looked at Peng Xiaoli with a smile and asked questions that sounded caring.

Of course, if you naively think that your leader cares about you, then you are too naive. You can know what the other party means by listening to the general question.

Peng Xiaoli is naturally not a rookie who has just entered the industry. He is also wary of Director Sun. No matter how the other party gets along with his superiors now, for him, the change in their identities will inevitably bring about a new period of adjustment.

“Benefited a lot, but treading on thin ice”

He is very good at speaking. He can express a variety of emotions in one sentence or two words, and he can get the best of both worlds.

No matter how you understood it, he could always explain it, he couldn't stand complaints, let alone blame anyone, and he expressed his current state of mind and difficulties, and his answer was very good.

At least Sun Jian thought that Peng Xiaoli had some skills, which also verified his previous impression of him and his current mentality.

That's why they say people who come out of offices have dirty hearts. A sentence can carry many meanings, and you might over-interpret it, and then word will spread about you having all kinds of problems.

If you talk about defense, it's really hard to defend, so in daily confrontations, both sides are cautious and serious.

Perhaps sensing Peng Xiaoli’s “nervousness”, Sun Jian didn’t say anything more. He just smiled, nodded, and left.

However, after the other party left, Peng Xiaoli took the phone on the desk and called his "good friend" in the former office, asking him to come out for a smoke.

There are no friends in the office, let alone good friends!
But! As long as you progress fast enough, you will look back and find that your relationships are full of smiling faces, guests and good friends.

The man sitting at the door of the first department office and Peng Xiaoli have a relationship like Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick. Although they sometimes belittle each other, most of the time they help each other.

In the past, the two of them had joked about whether they would forget each other when they became rich and powerful, but today, their relationship is completely different.

Peng Xiaoli has been busy with handovers or documents these days, and has been following Li Xuewu around, so he hasn't had time to go back and chat with him. Today, he asked him to smoke in order to maintain this important relationship.

Never underestimate any relationship in the office. One of the reasons why Sha Qizhi chose to support Peng Xiaoli to be Li Xuewu's secretary was his mature experience in work. To put it bluntly, he does not have to build his own "intelligence" system like Li Xue did.

Whether the other party has the sentiment of "rich if poor, rich if poor" or "lonely and proud" is not within his consideration. As long as there is a little thinking ability in the brain, no one will reject his initiative.

There is no such thing as bending over backwards to make friends. As long as there is competition in the office, there will be cooperation. Especially when someone in their circle "takes the lead", there will be a phenomenon where one person's success will bring success to everyone else.

This is how circle culture and mutual support come about. It is very complicated, but also very normal. It depends on how it is maintained.

"San'er"

Seeing his former colleague coming out of the building, Peng Xiaoli called out and waved his hand to point to the bench in the middle of the yard.

A colleague came over and complained in annoyance: "Didn't I tell you before that you can't call me that at work?"

After saying that, he took the cigarette that Peng Xiaoli threw to him, put it in his mouth, and lit it himself.

"You are different now. You have followed Deputy Director Li and now you speak more confidently~"

"Stop talking nonsense~Are you embarrassing me?"

Peng Xiaoli also lit one for himself. After taking a puff, he said while exhaling the smoke: "I knew you guys have been bullying me behind my back."

“Stop feeling good about yourself”

A colleague curled his lips and said, "We have been much quieter since you left. We haven't even had time to forget about you. Who wants to mention you?"

As he spoke, he looked at Peng Xiaoli's clothes and said with a smile: "Do you really think you are so popular? ~"

"I used to call you that too, but why didn't you talk so much nonsense back then?"

Peng Xiaoli rolled his eyes and said, "If you ask me, it must be you who is talking about me behind my back."

"Tell me! Is it you?"

He pulled his colleague's sleeve and said jokingly, "I sneezed yesterday, and you were the one who was nagging me!"

"You are such a human being!"

The colleague slapped his hand away and said helplessly: "Think about it, there is no good person with this name. When you call me that, I feel like I'm back in the alley!"

"Tell me~"

He looked at Peng Xiaoli with a sly smile and asked in amusement, "Why are you looking for me?"

"It's not a big deal, I have something serious to do."

Peng Xiaoli looked around, pulled his colleague's arm and asked softly, "I want to ask you something. Is there any news about Director Sun Jian recently?"

"Who? Director Sun?"

San'er also frowned and looked at Peng Xiaoli with a strange expression, and asked suspiciously: "You are not so anxious to get promoted, are you? You have only been there for a few days?"

"That's not right~~~"

After he said this, he began to doubt himself: "Even if you covet Director Sun's position, there is still a gap between you and me. What do you want to do?!"

"What are you talking about?"

Peng Xiaoli blew a puff of smoke onto San'er's face and raised his eyebrows, "I must have been so bold to look at that position. I am just a nobody now!"

"It's not me~ It's not what I want to do, it's him~"

Peng Xiaoli pointed with the thumb of the hand holding the cigarette in the direction of the security building behind him and said softly, "Why do I feel like something is wrong with him?"

"That's~"

San Er pouted and said, "You just want his position, it would be strange if you like him!"

No matter what he said or how much he quarreled, he knew that Peng Xiaoli did not mean that, and he had already started thinking about his problem in his heart.

Sun Jian… used to be the factory director’s secretary… later he became the director of the General Office of the Security Department… he had a good relationship with someone… very close…

"Hey!"

San'er took the hand holding the cigarette away from his chin, his eyes widened and he nodded at Peng Xiaoli, "I know!"

"What? Tell me!"

Seeing that he was only surprised and silent, Peng Xiaoli anxiously slapped him and urged, "What's wrong with him?"

“I can’t tell you this easily.”

San'er pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid of being killed~"

"Fuck! You're going to do this with me, right?"

Peng Xiaoli glared at him and pointed at him, "If you don't tell me, I will tell everyone about your loss of virginity!"

"You! Are you a human?"

San'er was so angry that the ash from the cigarette butt in his hand fell all over his pants. He pointed at Peng Xiaoli and cursed, "I knew you were a mean person and would never help me keep a secret!"

"Stop talking about this~"

Peng Xiaoli waved his hand and said, "I'm in danger right now, and you're still talking nonsense to me. Who the hell are you?"

"Tell me! Are you trying to take advantage of my misfortune and blackmail me? Is that so?"

"Go~go~go~"

San'er looked aggrieved and said generously, "I just wanted to play a joke on you, but who would have thought that you would reveal your true nature!"

"Hey~"

After he said this, he bumped Peng Xiaoli with his shoulder with great interest and asked in a low voice, "Did you offend Director Sun? How come you are still in danger?"

"I can't!~"

San'er shook his head as if he had realized something, and looked at Peng Xiaoli, saying, "You are the secretary of Deputy Director Li. In this factory, Deputy Director Li should be the boss, and you should be the second in command~"

"Get lost! You are the second one!"

Peng Xiaoli took a puff of his cigarette, looked back at the security building, and whispered to Saner: "I suspect Director Sun wants to harm me."

"Forget it~"

San'er's eyes widened, and he looked at Peng Xiaoli suspiciously: "You really think you are the boss, and you still want others to harm you!"

"Hey! Don't you still not believe it!"

Peng Xiaoli whispered, "He looked at me with a bad look today, and it was directed at me!"

"Bullshit!~"

San'er curled his lips and glared at me, saying, "Don't tell me you don't know that Director Sun likes to look at people with a squinting eye. It's spread all over the department. It's a habit he developed when he was establishing his authority."

"let me tell you"

He nodded at Peng Xiaoli and said, "If you really think something is wrong, you can check Zhou Yong."

"Who?"

Peng Xiaoli frowned, looked at San'er and asked, "Secretary Yang's secretary?"

"Well, check it out, you can't go wrong."

San'er nodded and said, "That day I saw Zhou Yong and Director Sun looking down from the window together."

"What are you looking at?"

Peng Xiaoli thought about the relationship between the two, frowned slightly and asked, "Did they have a good relationship before?"

"You already know whether it's good or not, why do I have to tell you?"

San'er took a puff of his cigarette and said, "That day, Deputy Director Li came downstairs after a meeting. He must have been on duty, and you were standing by the side."

As he said this, he seemed to remember something and patted Peng Xiaoli on the shoulder and said, "That was your first day on the job, and Deputy Director Sha gave you a lecture."

"What's so good about this?"

Peng Xiaoli already remembered that he met with his leader that day, then got in the car and left. Deputy Director Sha also reminded him to work.

If Director Sun Jian really had any opinion about me, he should have raised it when he chose me as his secretary. Why did he do this behind my back?
He didn't think that Director Sun Jian was insidious, but he just felt that a rookie like him was worthy of being played tricks on by the other party?
Did he already have such an important position in the political structure of the steel mill?

"Director Sun really followed my instructions?"

“I don’t think so.”

San'er shook his head slightly and said: "After Director Sun went downstairs, he talked to Deputy Director Sha."

He had the same idea as Peng Xiaoli. There was no need to go through so much trouble to deal with a young secretary of the management committee!

"wrong!"

Peng Xiaoli's eyes widened, and he pointed at San'er in surprise, "Zhou Yong! Zhou Yong!"

"I know, what's wrong?"

San'er was also startled by his sudden surprise and didn't notice that the cigarette butt burned his hand. He quickly threw it away after being burned.

When I looked at Peng Xiaoli again, I saw that his eyes were looking towards the garage.

"Are you hysterical? Tell me what you're thinking about!"

“I may have discovered something important.”

Peng Xiaoli muttered to himself, then looked at San'er and asked, "Which department was Zhou Yong assigned to?"

"Zhou Yong...no score, still in the office"

San'er frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Secretary Yang left too quickly and there was no time to arrange for him. It was Deputy Director Gu who said so."

“No! Not Deputy Director Gu!”

Peng Xiaoli said firmly: "The problem definitely does not lie with Deputy Director Gu. They planned it."

"Don't talk nonsense."

San'er frowned and said: "The matter has not been investigated clearly yet. You will be responsible if you speak nonsense."

"I know"

Peng Xiaoli said with a gloomy face: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will never let them get hurt..."

"Who?"

San'er was still waiting for his next words, but he didn't expect that Peng Xiaoli hid the most crucial point halfway through.

He was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down. It was like solving a crime and it was addictive to listen to it.

Peng Xiaoli said nothing more. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stomped it out, then said to San'er in a serious tone: "If you have time, please help me keep an eye on Zhou Yong and see who he is most closely in contact with."

"Uh... stop messing around~"

San'er's eyes rolled around, looking at Peng Xiaoli's serious expression, and said, "It doesn't matter if we talk about it in private, I don't want to get involved in any fight."

After saying that, he looked at Peng Xiaoli and said, "You are on the shore, but I am still lying in the water. A fart can drown me, but I can't afford to do that."

“I said you are short-sighted.”

Peng Xiaoli pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I'm not asking you to go deep behind enemy lines and conduct reconnaissance in disguise. I'm just asking you to monitor intelligence. Look how scared you are."

"Hmm~~~ You're still talking about me!"

San'er said unconvincedly, "In the past, you were even less timid than I was!"

"What? Now that you're following the most courageous leader in the factory, you're also standing up for yourself?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I have things to do."

Peng Xiaoli stuffed the cigarette in his pocket into the other person's shirt pocket and said, "Now that the matter is done, I will never treat you unfairly. All the good things in the future will be yours~"

"Well, that sounds like a human thing~"

San'er was not polite either. He smiled and nodded at Peng Xiaoli and said, "But now you are really acting like a leader, just like a leader. It's true that people get redder by being around them."

"Go to hell"

Peng Xiaoli smiled, pointed to the security building and said, "Come on, I really have something to do. I'll go back first~"

"Hey!"

San'er seemed to have remembered something, so he stopped Peng Xiaoli and said, "Have you ever heard about the relationship between Zhou Yong and Deputy Director Wang?"

"I do not know what happened?"

Peng Xiaoli stopped, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"nothing"

San'er scratched his forehead, thought for a while and said, "I'll tell you about this matter when I'm sure about it. You go ahead and do your work."

"Well, if I'm not here, you can fly, remember to mark it."

Peng Xiaoli made a gesture to him, then turned and went into the security building. He really didn't have much time.

Li Xuewu might call him at any time, and he is not yet fully familiar with the work, so he will be exhausted like a dog during this period.

If Li Xuewu had not allowed it, he would have wanted to live in Li Xuewu's office and look at old documents day and night.

Because of the theory of sandware, Li Xuewu has the habit of looking back on his work.

In other words, the work assigned by the leader will never be checked all at once, but will be called back to see the completion status.

This requires the secretary to have a deep professional foundation and to ensure that the work that the leader is concerned about is updated in real time at any time.

Especially when it comes to liaising with superiors and making arrangements with subordinates, the secretary is the leader's execution force for the work.

Peng Xiaoli had only heard that Sha Qizhi had the most difficult and tiring job among all the leaders' secretaries. He once joked about it, but he didn't expect that things would turn out well.

As soon as I went upstairs, I saw the leader and Deputy Team Leader Xiao Zihong standing at the door of the office talking about something.

Seeing him coming, Li Xuewu waved his hand, signaled Xiao Zihong, and said: "You go with Deputy Team Leader Xiao and obey orders and follow instructions."

"Yes"

Peng Xiaoli didn’t know what was going on, but seeing that both leaders had serious expressions, he simply agreed.

He likes to talk nonsense and loves to joke when he is with his colleagues.

But when he arrived at the Security Department, it seemed that the previous shadow had not dissipated yet. Whenever he entered the building, his butt would involuntarily tighten.

Just keep your tail between your legs and behave yourself!

When he came out of the building yesterday, Old Zhou from his former office was still joking with him, asking him if he was cocky.

At the time, he retorted jokingly, but he felt deeply touched in his heart.

Forget about being cocky. Even working in this building is like walking on thin ice and facing the abyss. How can you be cocky at all?

Deputy Team Leader Xiao walked down the stairs in front with a silent expression, and he followed behind silently, like a mute.

This was the advice his father gave him: as a secretary for a boss, one should stop talking useless nonsense.

I met San'er today. If it were in the past, I would never hide anything in certain key positions. After all, we are allies.

But today it was not possible. He was naturally nervous and did not dare to make the slightest mistake, let alone talk nonsense.

Carrying this job is like having a gun pointed at your back, preventing you from relaxing for even a moment.

When I went downstairs, there was a car parked at the door. It was Deputy Director Li's command car, and Han Jiankun was sitting in the driver's seat.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of getting out of the car to open the door for the leader, Peng Xiaoli had no choice but to do it himself.

Deputy Team Leader Xiao did not pay attention to his initiative. He did not refuse his help in opening the car door like Deputy Director Li did, nor did he praise him, as if he was not interested in this at all.

After he got into the passenger seat, Han Jiankun drove out of the office area without asking him where he was going.

In fact, even if Han Jiankun asked him, he wouldn't know, because he had been confused since he came to work in the morning.

The inexplicable leader went to find Deputy Group Leader Xiao, the elusive Director Sun came to greet him, and San'er, who was hesitant to speak, mentioned Deputy Director Wang to him...

Now the leader asked him to follow Deputy Team Leader Xiao to do some work, but he hasn't told him what it was.

What the hell is going on!

Peng Xiaoli watched the command vehicle turn a corner and head towards the guesthouse.

Did something happen at the guesthouse?
Today, Deputy Director Li will be the main person in charge and will hold talks with Mr. Nakamura, who is in charge of the machinery and equipment business of the Japanese side.

Thinking about what happened here yesterday, I wonder if something happened on the Japanese side, or if there was any new development in the incident at the door yesterday.

He remembered that Director Li had called the leader to talk in the guesthouse for a long time. Could it be that today... ?
While Peng Xiaoli was daydreaming, the car had already stopped at the door of the guesthouse, and Deputy Team Leader Xiao got out of the car without waiting for Peng Xiaoli to ask.

He had no choice but to jump out of the car quickly and follow, taking the notebook and pencil that he had left in the car.

Xiao Zihong walked into the hall in silence. When he met a waiter on the way, he just nodded to greet him.

Deputy Team Leader Xiao didn't speak until he saw Deputy Director Zhang Songying appear.

"Is Section Chief Yu here?"

“Yes, on the second floor.”

Zhang Songying glanced at Peng Xiaoli, replied to Deputy Team Leader Xiao, and led the way.

Peng Xiaoli frowned, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Why does Deputy Team Leader Xiao look like this?

Zhang Songying is the deputy director of the guesthouse, why does she always have such a serious face?

And the Chief Yu they mentioned, could it be...

It really is!
The conference room on the second floor, where the leaders had a conversation yesterday, actually had security guards standing guard at the door.

As he followed Deputy Team Leader Xiao into the room, the person he saw was Section Chief Yu from the Confidentiality Department whom he had been thinking about.

"Deputy Team Leader Xiao"

"Chief Yu, what's the situation?"

Xiao Zihong greeted the other party expressionlessly, but did not go inside. Instead, he just stood at the door.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go in, but there was a isolation rope two steps away from the door.

Yu Daru was conducting an investigation in the conference room with a few people. At this moment, the other party greeted him and came over.

“It’s basically certain.”

Yu Daru showed them a torn black round button-like object with a string.

Xiao Zihong frowned and took a look, then asked, "Monitoring?"

Seeing Yu Daru nod, his face became more serious and he asked, "Where is the source?"

"do not know"

Yu Daru smiled helplessly and shook his head slightly, saying: "We only found a launching device in the wall. It is not an electronic structure and it is quite clever."

"How is this possible~"

Xiao Zihong frowned and asked, "If it's not electronic, how is it transmitted and received?"

“Well, we are also investigating this.”

Yu Daru obviously didn't want to waste time talking to him, as this Deputy Team Leader Xiao was clearly an outsider.

Peng Xiaoli knew a little about this. He took a look at the device in Yu Daru's hand and explained to Deputy Team Leader Xiao in a low voice: "Nowadays, eavesdropping devices are developing very rapidly and can achieve unobstructed monitoring."

Xiao Zihong also knew that he had shown his weakness. After listening to Peng Xiaoli's explanation, he glanced at Yu Daru and clearly felt the other party's surprise as he looked behind him.

It seems that what Peng Xiaoli said was true. This thing is really not easy to find.

Yu Daru was somewhat surprised at Peng Xiaoli's knowledge of these devices, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you Director Li's secretary?"

He hasn't changed his way of addressing people, and still uses the same old habit. However, he has met Peng Xiaoli once in Li Xuewu's office, and he seems to have a good memory.

Peng Xiaoli glanced at him. He was not used to the other's eagle-like eyes, but he still had to answer: "My mother works in an electronics factory, and I have been playing with these things since I was a child."

"Oh~~~"

Yu Daru seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to care too much. He nodded with a smile, as if it was just over.

“Can you find out who installed it?”

Xiao Zihong ignored Yu Daru's idleness and asked in a gloomy voice: "Or can you confirm when it was installed?"

“Sorry, I can’t confirm either of these.”

Yu Daru stretched out his hand regretfully and said: "I am not a god. Without the support of your company, fortune-telling will not work."

When Xiao Zihong heard this, his eyebrows jumped. He looked at the other person and nodded slowly, as if he understood something.

But Peng Xiaoli, who was standing behind him, was still confused. When he saw Deputy Team Leader Xiao nod, he became even more confused.

what? !
What did he say?!
What do you understand?!
This is just a charade!
"Then do as the leader says."

Xiao Zihong did not ask about this matter again, but looked at Zhang Songying standing next to him and asked, "Has the incident here not spread?"

"no"

Zhang Songying glanced at Yu Daru and explained to Xiao Zihong: "I reported the water leakage in this building to the Management Committee Office early in the morning. The Management Committee Office notified that the procurement meeting has been moved to the security building."

"That's good"

Xiao Zihong nodded, pointed to the door, frowned, and asked, "Is there any problem with the service staff?"

"It's inevitable, and we can only cover it up with renovations."

Zhang Songying replied seriously: "There was knocking and hitting just now. Everyone knows that there is construction going on here."

"It's ok"

Yu Daru shrugged his shoulders and said, "Director Li said that there is no need to ask the waiters at the guesthouse. We will not interfere in their affairs."

Zhang Songying looked at him seriously and said, "I can't explain this to you. You'll have to coordinate with Deputy Director Li."

"Of course~"

Yu Daru nodded in understanding, smiled and gestured to Xiao Zihong, saying: "If it were not for this, I believe there would be no need for you to assist me with this case."

"It doesn't matter, everyone in the security team can use it."

Xiao Zihong could hear the contempt in the other party's words and replied without caring.

When the other party didn't say anything else, he nodded and said, "That's it, thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, he didn't even give Yu Daru a chance to shake hands with him, and turned around and walked out the door with Peng Xiaoli.

Yu Daru laughed at the other party's arrogant voice, and then saw Zhang Songying standing aside with a cold face, and asked jokingly: "Are you angry with Deputy Team Leader Xiao?"

Zhang Songying turned to look at him, raised his eyebrows sarcastically, snorted coldly, and said: "It seems that you really should learn some worldly wisdom."

"Hey! Don't be angry~"

Yu Daru and Li Xuewu certainly didn't dare to do so, but they were habitually glib and sarcastic when he was handling cases.

He was ignored after just a few words to Xiao Zihong, and he also angered Zhang Songying when he came in the morning to coordinate work.

Zhang Songying rolled her eyes and said, "I'll give you another hour. The 'water leakage' problem in the conference room must be fixed."

After saying that, she also imitated Xiao Zihong, ignored Yu Daru, and turned around and walked out.

Yu Daru looked at the enchanting figure with amusement, with a smile on his face but his eyes full of femininity.

The Ministry of Confidentiality has encountered such situations more frequently, but it is less common now. In the past, it was really hard to guard against.

He didn't suspect Peng Xiaoli, nor did he think there was something wrong with Zhang Songying. He suspected everyone. He would suspect anyone who had contact with this room.

What's the point of this suspicion? Why not launch an investigation?

Do you think Yu Daru doesn’t want to investigate?
But just as he said, without the support and consent of the steel mill, he would not dare to act recklessly here.

He could have ignored it before when he had not suffered any loss, but the presence of a ferocious tiger in the steel mill made him dare not act recklessly.

To conduct an investigation, we must obtain Li Xuewu's approval and support.

Now it all depends on the other party's attitude. They have sent a "useless" deputy team leader over. He knows what Li Xuewu means.

Also, he reported the situation here yesterday, but there was no result after waiting all night. Is there any need to ask?
So, he can only check it himself, and proceed according to what he has found.

In order to prevent any large-scale activity, he quietly entered the village without firing a shot.

In order not to alert the enemy, he only checked the equipment and did not ask the staff.

If he is not allowed to do this or that, what can he do even if he finds out? Can he take the results of the investigation out of the steel mill?

So, do the work that needs to be done, and don't worry about things that shouldn't be done.

The leaders are already aware of the situation here and have a negative attitude towards the investigation. Peng Xiaoli only understood this when he passed by the service department where the two leaders had a conversation yesterday.

After leaving the guesthouse, Peng Xiaoli helped Deputy Team Leader Xiao open the car door and asked, "Leader, let's go back..."

"boarding"

Xiao Zihong interrupted his questioning, jumped onto the command vehicle, and closed the door himself.

Peng Xiaoli was stunned by the other party's attitude, and then he heard the sound of a car starting and quickly got into the passenger seat.

Still without any arrangements, Han Jiankun drove the car out of the gate of the guesthouse and drove directly towards the factory area.

When he passed by the office area but didn't turn in, Peng Xiaoli knew that there was still something to do.

Sure enough, the command vehicle drove along the factory road all the way to the gate, drove out of the gate amid the salutes of the sentries, and headed directly north.

It was not until they reached the main road that Peng Xiaoli realized that they were heading up the mountain.
-
"Mr. Nakamura, have some tea."

"Thank you, Mr. Li. You are so polite."

Hideji Nakamura politely took the teacup handed to him by Li Xuewu with both hands, keeping the smile on his face that he had when they met.

Li Xuewu didn't care about his humility and waved to Sun Jian, indicating that they could leave.

The only one left was the translator for the External Affairs Office, who was a native of Shaqizhi.

"Mr. Li, I also know some Chinese."

Hideji Nakamura glanced at the girl sitting next to him and said something to Li Xuewu in not very standard Chinese.

The girl's gaze was originally on him, her serious face paused slightly, and then she looked at Li Xuewu.

However, Li Xuewu did not ask her to leave. Instead, he smiled and said, "My Japanese is not very good. I only know eight..."

"Oh~oh~"

Nakamura Hideji smiled bitterly and waved his hand to stop Li Xuewu from swearing, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "I absolutely don't mean anything else, please don't misunderstand."

In fact, he was really a little afraid of Li Xuewu. This cooperation was a test for the steel mill, but also a challenge for them.

After they went back and reviewed yesterday morning's talks, they found that although there were some changes in the initiative, the pace of the negotiations was always under the control of the other party.

Especially this Mr. Li, who is more aggressive than the Mr. Li who is in charge of the steel mill.

Including at the dinner table, the other party's words were sharp and the language was elegant, which almost made them unable to leave the banquet.

For such a sharp-tongued person, if he has to face it alone today, how can he not be extremely cautious and careful?

It’s not that Kenichi Nishida and the others didn’t want to accompany him, but they all had things to do and couldn’t leave.

Another thing is that the main task of introducing machinery and technology for the steel rolling mill was given to him.

Because his company used to do this kind of business, it was more convenient for him to connect with the steel rolling mill.

Although the three parties formed a business alliance, it was not a merger of the companies and they still operated their own businesses.

The mere cooperation and trade in China is to form a consortium to safeguard their common interests.

Of course, as a condition of negotiation, his company took on this important task, and in other aspects, the other two partners also gave him corresponding compensation.

As for how much, Li Xuewu didn't know. Judging from the other party's proactive explanation today and the specific implementation plan of the cooperation plan, he would still talk to him about the mechanical equipment and technology later.

"It's just a little joke, don't take it seriously, Mr. Nakamura."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, as if he was really joking.

Nakamura Hideji was sweating profusely and was too exhausted to complain in his heart: Does Mr. Li think he is very humorous?
"I'm really sorry, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts for you."

Hideji Nakamura wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "I will send you a gift from my heart when I return to China."

"Oh? I'm really honored."

Li Xuewu didn't care at all that there was a translator girl next to him, and he took the initiative to accept the other party's obvious "bribe".

"Don't be so polite, coming here is like coming to my home."

Li Xuewu always maintains absolute vigilance and caution towards these little devils.

Even if it was just a polite remark, he was unwilling to let the other party take advantage of him.

My home is my home. Don't think that my home is good and you're occupying it like you did 20 or 30 years ago.

Of course, in order to embody the business philosophy of good neighborliness, friendship, cooperation and win-win, he also took the initiative to say: "I am full of hope and vision for our future cooperation, and I hope you will not let me down."

"That's for sure~"

Hideji Nakamura nodded respectfully, opened the document he brought with a smile and handed it to Li Xuewu, introducing: "This is our sincerity."

"Ah, very good"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, but reached out to close the file that the other party had just opened, which surprised Nakamura Hideji.

What's wrong with this guy? Why is he like a psycho? He said everything was great, but shouldn't he take a look at what I brought first?

Li Xuewu didn't care about his surprise. He picked up the document on the coffee table, handed it to the girl sitting next to him, and said, "Please take it to the next room for me. Professor Zhang and the others are waiting."

"Okay, Deputy Director Li."

The girl stood up, took the documents and walked out. When she was leaving, another girl dressed similarly walked in.

Nakamura Hideji's stunned expression betrayed his inner anxiety and fear. He wondered if he had really met a psychopath.

What are you doing? I'm here to negotiate, not to play a barter game with you!
What’s going on? A female translator goes out and another female translator comes in. What are they doing?

Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then gestured to Nakamura Hideji who had a uncertain look in his eyes, and said frankly: "Believe it or not, I know nothing about mechanics and technology."

"That……"

Nakamura Hideji pointed to the next meeting room and asked, "Why don't we discuss it there?"

“Because I don’t understand these things~”

Li Xuewu repeated his previous explanation and answered the other party's two questions with one answer, almost giving Nakamura Shuji an emo~
Seeing that the other party fell silent, Li Xuewu took the initiative to explain: "As long as it is a meeting, there will definitely be disputes. At the conference table, I don't have the necessary knowledge reserves, and I really don't know how to talk to you."

As he spoke, he folded his right leg, tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, and said confidently: "Just because I don't understand doesn't mean no one in our factory understands. Now we just need to drink tea and chat, and wait for them to give me the answer."

"But...this..."

Nakamura Hideji looked at Li Xuewu hesitantly and said, "Even if they gave you advice, how can you talk to me about it?"

"That's too easy~"

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "I don't understand technology and equipment, but I understand human hearts."

He took out a book from under the coffee table, placed it on the table, pushed it in front of the other person, gestured, and introduced: "This is the book I wrote."

"???"

Hideji Nakamura's mind is full of question marks now. I'm here to discuss cooperation with you, and you're showing off in front of me?
Everyone can write a book, but I... I have never written a book...

I picked up the book on the coffee table, and what caught my eye was the standard font on the cover: "Criminal Psychology".

Damn, what does this mean?
First of all, don't worry about what the other party means by giving you this book. Look at the title, then look at the author. If it is really the other party's name, you will have to reluctantly admit in your heart that the other party has pretended to be wrong.

"Mr. Li, I never thought you had this kind of talent. I really admire you!"

"but……"

He held the book in his hand and asked Li Xuewu hesitantly, "I wonder what you mean by this...?"

“My meaning is very simple”

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "No matter how much your offer is, when the advice from the expert group next door is forwarded back to me, I can guess from your face what the price I want is."

"This is called psychology~!"

"Ok?"

Nakamura Shuji: Danger!!!
