Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Hey, Xiaobai, have you bought a motorcycle?"

Yu Li smiled and looked at her, especially the Comet motorcycle next to her.

This motorcycle is now very popular among young people.

If you want to say that you belong to the group of naughty masters and are the little ones following behind, that doesn't matter.

Because everyone thinks it is natural for you to ride a bicycle, and they even think you should run on the ground.

However, as long as you want to get along well among this group of people and have face, you must have a complete set.

Whether they are recalcitrants or veterans, especially veterans, they are richer and more face-conscious.

In the eyes of veterans, there are only two kinds of face, the one worn on the body and the one riding underneath.

Whether it's a car or a mother-in-law, it doesn't matter.

Yu Li really wanted to buy a motorcycle. Li Xuewu wanted to buy it for her, but she refused.

Of course, her salary savings are enough, and there are also preferential prices.

It's just that until now, she was still worried that riding a motorcycle to and from get off work would be too ostentatious, and it was too cold in the winter.

Therefore, I have been hesitating about this idea since July until now, and I have never bought it.

She is waiting, waiting for more people to buy motorcycles, waiting for more motorcycles to appear on the streets.

Today I saw Zhou Xiaobai riding one. He was the first one she knew in this compound.

So I was quite curious. Looking at the white body and compact structure, I felt itchy like a cat's paw.

Zhou Xiaobai is not someone who likes to show off, let alone compare with anyone.

She has had this capital since she was a child, and her living environment does not require her to actively show off and compare.

Facing Rei, she never showed pride in her origins and higher knowledge.

The affinity and ability possessed by the other party are exactly what she needs to learn and learn from.

So Yu Li behaved kindly, and she also behaved kindly.

"Sister, try?"

She was very generous. She got off the motorcycle and handed it over to Yu Li.

Yu Li took it in her hand and said with a smile: "How do you fix it if you drop it? You were so careless."

"Hey, these are all made of plastic and won't break easily."

Zhou Xiaobai didn't know much about motorcycles, but she couldn't stand Li Yuanchao and others nagging her ears every day.

Now he pushed Yu Li onto the motorcycle, and then taught her how to put it into gear and how to accelerate.

Of course, I didn't forget to teach Yu Li how to stop and apply the brakes.

Even though it is a 50CC machine, this thing is small in frame, lightweight and can run away with just a twist of oil.

Especially when lesbians ride, the speed can reach around 100.

Think about it, this gadget can reach a speed of 100, and ordinary roads cannot support it.

It should be a smooth road like the Grand Square, otherwise you will have to ride a roller coaster if it exceeds 70 miles.

"It's so nimble and easy to ride!"

Under the guidance of Zhou Xiaobai, Yu Li walked around the flower hall twice near the parking lot at the entrance, and then stopped with a smile.

At this moment, the security guards on patrol, the waiters and coaches at work, and the members who came to train all made fun of the two of them when they passed by.

Zhao Laosi stood at the door of the security room with his arms folded, laughing and cheering, applauding and joking from time to time.

Yu Li jumped off the motorcycle, smiled and handed the car back to Zhou Xiaobai, and asked: "How much did it cost? Have you used the preferential policies?"

“Xiaobai needs to buy it himself when riding a bicycle?”

Zhao Laosi strolled over, touched the handlebar of the motorcycle enviously, and said jokingly: "How many young heroes from Forty-Nine City are eager to take the initiative to show their courtesy!"

"There's just no queue. If there's a queue, you can't line up from our gate to outside Xizhimen!"

"screw you--"

Zhou Xiaobai scolded him, turned to look at Yu Li and explained, "Someone wants to send me here."

"Who? Zhang Haiyang?"

Zhao Laosi looked at Zhou Xiaobai's suitor Men Qing and asked with a smile on his face: "Is it still the Zhong Yuemin who waits to pick you up from get off work every day?"

"You know quite a lot——"

Yu Li glanced at him and asked funnyly: "Could it be that...you are interested in us Xiaobai, too? Otherwise, why would you be staring at her every day?"

Zhou Xiaobai knew that Yu Li was joking, so he followed her words and looked at Zhao Laosi with a smile, as if he was looking forward to his answer.

I originally came to watch the fun, but I was teased by the two of them. Can Zhao Laosi suffer this loss?

"Hey, I can't hide my thoughts no matter what, but I want you to see it."

He pretended to be shy and said: "Who wouldn't like Xiaobai when they see him? The one who doesn't like it is my grandson!"

"Hahaha--"

Although he knew that Zhao Laosi was joking, Zhou Xiaobai was still very happy.

Especially the one he was thinking about, what would his expression be like if he knew someone was scolding him?

"Then what--"

Yu Li glanced at Zhao Laosi meaningfully, turned to look at Zhou Xiaobai and asked, "What happened next? Who bought it?"

"I bought it myself," Zhou Xiaobai shook his head proudly and said, "I don't need the money to begin with, I just don't need it for a while."

She pursed her lips and said angrily: "You said, I regretted it after buying it."

"Why should I be angry with them? It's meaningless at all. I wasted more than four hundred yuan in vain——"

"What's wrong? Why is this?"

Yu Li frowned and asked, "Who are you talking to? Why are you so angry?"

"It's not Zhong Yuemin and the others——"

Zhou Xiaobai became angry when he mentioned this, and all the energy to show off his motorcycle was gone.

He handed the handlebar to Zhao Laosi and ignored his own car. He took Yu Li's arm and walked back and said, "You must give me a motorcycle."

"If he had bought it himself, I wouldn't be angry with them. The key is..."

"What is this? Did you borrow money to buy it?"

After hearing Zhou Xiaobai's complaints, Yu Li asked amusedly and curiously: "Aren't they making money?"

"You are making money, but you can make it quickly and spend it quickly. You still don't know about them?"

Zhou Xiaobai rolled his eyes and said, "As long as you have money in your pocket, the first thing you think of is eating."

"Look at each of them. They are only three months old. Their faces are round and their stomachs are full."

She said impatiently: "I kindly refused his gift. I said I didn't need this and asked him to work hard."

"I really didn't expect that what would happen to me after their brothers did this to me!"

"Okay, don't be angry-"

Yu Li persuaded her and said, "Just because of this, you bought a motorcycle?"

"I just want them to see, don't always think that you can do whatever you want with just a few dollars."

"Well, if you are ambitious——"

Yu Li nodded, thinking that this young lady's ambition was not supported by Li Xuewu.

What kind of ambition is this? It’s really frustrating.

——

"Let me introduce you to Yang Jun, the leader of the ministry's working group. You haven't met him yet, have you?"

When Li Huaide saw Li Xuewu coming, he took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Comrade Li Xuewu, deputy director of our commission, and he also works as a security team."

"Hello, Team Leader Yang, I am Li Xuewu."

Li Xuewu smiled and took the initiative to hold the other person's extended hand, and said hello with a smile.

From the words introduced by Li Huaide, we can hear that the distinction between one and two is meaningful.

Li Xuewu's main position was quietly changed from the head of the security team to concurrently in charge.

In other words, his full-time job became the deputy director of the commission office, and his part-time job became the first deputy leader of the security team.

Don't say hey, with this introduction, the complex situation of the security team suddenly became clearer.

During this special period, the factory management committee strengthened the management and leadership of safety and arranged for a deputy director of the commission to serve as the deputy leader of the security team. This was excusable.

Although the cadres in the factory knew where Li Xuewu's fundamentals were, the working group just couldn't find any relevant faults.

"I have long heard that there is a young hero in the Red Star Factory. When I meet him today, he is indeed well-deserved."

Yang Jun's words were impeccable, and his attitude seemed very warm and kind.

But as far as Li Xuewu knew, this man was also a smiling tiger, and his reputation was not as good as his.

"You're honored," Li Xuewu smiled and said politely: "Young people are young people. They don't dare to be heroes. They still need to study and exercise more."

"Too modest -"

Yang Jun loosened his hand and introduced to the two people standing next to him: "You should have heard of him, the youngest criminal investigation expert of the Ministry of Industry and Safety."

"He should be one of the few cadres in our system who also holds the title of deputy commander."

He looked at Li Xuewu with admiration and said: "He has many honors, strong ability, and stable thinking, especially his business ability."

"I've heard about you," one of the two people he introduced took the initiative to greet Li Xuewu and said, "Cai Zhixing of the Organization Department is the deputy leader of the working group that settled in the Red Star Factory this time."

"Hello, Director Cai, please take care of me."

Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with him, saying a very humble courtesy.

Cai Zhixing let go of his hand, and the other person standing next to him stretched out his hand at the same time.

"Inspection Office, Zhou Zechuan, deputy leader of this working group, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Director Zhou, welcome to work at Red Star Factory."

Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands, and put the words of welcome to the last person.

Zhou Zechuan raised his eyebrows and said little, but his eyes were very understanding.

Li Xuewu, the person in charge of the first and second deputy officers of the working group, recognized them all before the start of the working meeting.

"There were business matters in Steel City and Yingcheng a few days ago, so I asked him to make a trip."

When Li Huaide saw several people introducing each other, he took the initiative to explain something to Li Xuewu.

"You just came back, right? It's okay."

Yang Jun smiled and said: "We just came down to take a look. After all, the leader has requirements."

"Don't delay the work in the factory because of us. How it should be on weekdays is what it is now."

He looked at the two deputy team leaders beside him and said: "The leader said that we should pay attention to methods in our work. Use your ears more and use your mouth less."

"You are too polite," Li Huaide chuckled and said, "I would also like to hear more of your valuable opinions, but please don't hide your secrets——"

"Hahaha--"

In the small lounge next to the conference room, people were sitting or standing talking and laughing.

Yang Jun and Li Huaide mainly spoke, and others echoed or chimed in.

Li Xuewu was too tall and knew that standing would easily cause conversation, so he took the initiative to find a corner and sit down.

After Yang Jun smiled, he waved his hand and said in a very sincere tone: "To be honest, Red Star Factory is developing very well. This is what the leader said."

"Before we came, our leaders gave us many instructions not to cause trouble for the company."

He nodded slowly and said, "I also had the same opinion when I met with the team. Follow the work process."

"We just want to see how the Red Star Factory works on a daily basis. It's that simple."

"Don't worry, we are not here to cause trouble--"

Deputy team leader Cai Zhixing joked, "When people say the work team is coming, they are like wolves and tigers."

He gently touched Yang Jun's arm with the back of his hand and said, "What have we become? Ghost smashing?"

"Hahaha--"

This joke is not funny, but everyone in the room laughed.

Yang Jun nodded at him with a smile, and finally emphasized: "Some comrades still did not establish the image they should have in their previous work, right?"

"Take this as a warning and learn from it."

Cai Zhixing nodded and agreed: "Not all enterprises need supervision and rectification."

"Advanced enterprises like Red Star Factory should discover and find the secret of success."

"That's right, Comrade Zhixing said it well."

Yang Jun looked at Li Huaide and said: "So please don't hide your secrets, Director Li, let us see and learn the secret of Red Star Factory's development!"

"Hahaha——"

Li Huaide laughed and looked at Li Xuewu inadvertently.

Li Xuewu was also laughing, and their eyes met briefly and they communicated their experiences to each other.

(Li Huaide: Do you believe this?)

(Li Xuewu: I don't believe it!)

——

"Deputy Director Li sits here——"

The meeting was about to begin, and Li Xuewu followed a group of leaders out of the small lounge and walked to the meeting room.

As soon as they entered the door, the leaders walked forward as usual.

These days, there are generally no nameplates for meetings, but Red Star Factory has them, but they are only used on important occasions.

In the team meetings or work meetings on weekdays, everyone knows where to sit, and there are no outsiders in attendance, so nameplates are rarely placed on the table.

There were no nameplates today either, because the three people from the working group caught Li Huaide off guard.

Originally, the other party did not apply to participate or attend today's meeting.

Before the meeting started, the three people went upstairs, and when they met Li Huaide, they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

He thought that there were people from the working group today, so he took his notebook and chose a seat at the back.

But who would have thought that when he wanted to give up his seat, someone else was thinking about him and took the front seat for him.

Shi Ruoweng, deputy director of the Commission Office, was in charge of the organization of the Commission Office, of course, including organizing meetings.

At this moment, he was standing behind Li Xuewu's usual seat and looking at this side with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the meeting room suddenly became quiet, some were surprised, and some frowned.

Of course, there is always a lot of people who like to watch the fun.

"Deputy Director Li's usual position."

Cheng Kaiyuan took the initiative to introduce Yang Jun, the team leader who looked back in a daze.

His expression was very playful, and seemed aggrieved and helpless, which made people reminisce.

Yang Jun, Cai Zhixing, and Zhou Zechuan had all walked to the front and were looking over here.

They were also very surprised that such a situation would occur in the team meeting of Red Star Factory.

And looking at Lao Li's face, it was gloomy at this moment, and his eyes were like knives when he looked at Shi Ruoweng.

However, Shi Ruoweng seemed to turn a blind eye at this moment, and seemed to be immersed in the joy of enthusiastically helping Li Xuewu to occupy a position.

Everyone in the meeting room who knew about this knew that Li Xuewu had retreated to drive Shi Ruoweng out of the door, and today Shi Ruoweng took a trick to cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot and exposed Li Xuewu's past in front of the working group.

Everyone waited and watched, wanting to see how Shi Ruoweng would die today.

Of course, it was Shi Ruoweng who died. Who would doubt Li Xuewu's ability to remain calm in the face of adversity?

At the age of 21, he reached his current position. Is it possible without some tricks?

So no matter how good the team members were with Li Xuewu, they just frowned and looked at Shi Ruoweng indifferently at this time.

There was no such thing as speaking for Li Xuewu.

The person who spoke at this time was not Li Xuewu's friend, but his enemy.

Li Xuewu moved forward in an instant under the expectation of everyone in the Red Star Factory and the strange gaze of the three members of the working group, and smiled and greeted: "Thank you for your hard work, Deputy Director Shi——"

In a flash, the change of everyone's eyes and mentality took less than two seconds, and he took action.

Just like that, he walked to his position calmly and directly, and even politely said something to Shi Ruoweng.

Of course, this politeness lacked the gunpowder smell that everyone expected, and was more contemptuous and disdainful.

Shi Ruoweng stood beside him, like a subordinate, and was not satisfied with the affirmation of the leader.

Li Huaide's frown instantly relaxed, and everyone also had a regretful look that the show ended too quickly.

They just exchanged glances, and the greetings and sitting down scenes that were instantly restored did not pay any attention to Shi Ruoweng.

He became the surprise before the start of today's meeting, and in this deliberately created surprise, he became the clown whose result everyone knew would be like this.

Of course, everyone knew that he would make a fool of himself, and they just wanted to know how Li Xuewu would deal with him.

In the end, ignoring became Li Xuewu's magic weapon to show his superb organizational and adaptability.

——

Just now in the reception room, the three members of the working group had already shown great attention to his appearance. When they sat down, they looked at each other quietly, and decided in their hearts to increase this attention by two points.

If you don't pay enough attention, you may not be able to see the young man sitting opposite you clearly.

In fact, if you think about it, you can know how impressive it is to be able to sit next to Li Huaide at such a young age and surpass other leaders of the Management Committee.

In retrospect, is this impressive?

At this level, is the impressiveness useful?

They can represent the department to do research, they are not good-for-nothings, trash.

No matter what the deputy director of the division has in mind, they just saw and heard it today.

Li Xuewu's calmness and confidence made the three people look at him with new eyes.

The youthful vigor and integrity were reflected at once.

In the subsequent meeting, the ability and aura shown by Li Xuewu made the three people understand why he sat in that position.

Today, Li Xuewu, not only the three people in the working group, but also the leaders of other management committees can feel his full firepower.

From the problems found in the investigation of the Tianjin Trade Management Center and the experience of business adjustment, to the report on the investigation of Yingcheng ships and the ship market.

When Li Xuewu was speaking, no one else could interrupt. They were too busy taking notes. They were worried about missing some key data when they followed the materials with their pencils. Everyone was surprised.

Including some department heads present, it was the first time that everyone in Red Star Factory felt Li Xuewu's full working ability.

In particular, he was able to produce research reports and data basis for some feasible opinions or suggestions in his report, which was very impressive.

The three members of the working group were all numb. They had been here for more than a week and almost two weeks. Even before entering Red Star Factory, they had learned about the relevant situation here.

Please...collect 6...books...!

I thought I was well prepared. When listening to Li Xuewu's report, I was holding the same work materials as other members of the management committee. But why did I not understand it while listening?

Li Huaide sat in the first seat, squinting his eyes slightly, like an old cat about to fall asleep.

But whenever Li Xuewu talked about the key parts and reported to him or asked for relevant opinions, he could give accurate answers or express necessary opinions to the team members.

The problem was raised, explained clearly, analyzed with materials and data, and finally discussed, opinions were determined, and the conclusions were determined. The smooth process stunned the three members of the working group.

The Red Star Factory team was not playing us, right?

Was this a pre-rehearsal?

Just to make us look good?

It was unlikely. There was no contradiction in rehearsing in advance. What happened before the meeting started?

The most unlikely thing was that they watched Li Xuewu call the relevant person in charge to execute.

At the meeting, after the conclusion and handling opinions on the problem were determined, he directly named the person in charge of the relevant department present.

And the cadres whose names were called took the initiative to walk out and sit at the other end of the conference table.

In this way, Li Xuewu, on behalf of the Management Committee, talked directly with the heads of the departments involved in the problem.

Explain the work on the spot, ask about the execution attitude on the spot, and determine the execution deadline and person in charge on the spot.

For those related to other departments, there were several chairs at the other end of the desk opposite Li Huaide's seat, with several departments and several people sitting.

If the department heads have opinions or difficulties, they can raise them on the spot and solve them on the spot, which is quite fast.

After discussing the implementation of the problem, the department heads stood up and returned to their seats, and the management committee continued the meeting to study and discuss the next problem.

Yang Jun and the other two were really shocked. They looked at the attitudes of everyone at the meeting. This was really not acting. Just look at the serious attitudes that are used to it.

Although this set of procedures is very long, the problems are actually handled very quickly.

It is precisely because the people who raise questions and opinions, as well as the people who implement feedback, sit together, and say what they have to say, and pass it on when they don’t have anything to say. They are frank with each other, and time is very fast.

Often, they think that it takes at least three days to deal with a problem, but here it only takes five minutes.

What efficiency?

It saves all the time for reporting and communication, and handles it directly at the desk.

All leaders are here, whoever is responsible speaks, and others raise opinions or questions.

Li Huaide, on the contrary, let go of his power and hands and feet, and even handed over the presiding of the meeting to Li Xuewu, who has outstanding ability and strong execution.

He was only responsible for coordination and decision-making, but Yang Jun and others saw the secret of Red Star Factory's rapid development and stable work.

——

We had long aimed at today's office meeting, and the meeting time was two hours from the work briefing.

Office meeting, two hours, what can be said?

Generally speaking, discussing four or five issues and preaching a little bit of instruction is enough.

Let's put it this way, office meetings rarely last two hours, usually one morning.

Starting from nine in the morning and ending at twelve o'clock, three hours.

Or earlier, or even later, three and a half, four, five hours.

There are many tasks in the factory, and when they are accumulated and handled together, it is inevitable to spend a lot of time for discussion and research.

However, today's Red Star Factory gave the working group a lesson in a unique way.

When he came out, Li Huaide apologized to the three people very embarrassedly.

"Red Star Factory is in the process of expanding in size, expanding in personnel, and increasing in business. This problem is nothing, don't care too much."

Yang Jun showed a tough side in the face of Li Huaide's apology.

He told Li Huaide: "Enforcing discipline and personnel is a long-term and serious job, and it takes time to build. I can understand."

"Thank you for your understanding--"

Li Huaide smiled and shook hands with him, jokingly saying: "I understand."

"Hey, I've said it before, don't worry about us, just work as you should."

Yang Jun looked at Li Huaide with a smile and said: "I have a question, I've been holding it in for a while."

"Well, you say," Li Huaide thought of what he wanted to ask, but pretended not to know.

If you want to brag, of course you have to do it step by step. If no one asks, this brag is not round.

"I want to ask, you--"

Yang Jun paused here, reorganized his words, frowned and asked: "It used to be like this in meetings... Is it so efficient?"

He didn't want to ask this, as if his unit was very inefficient when holding meetings.

But if he didn't ask this question, he couldn't get a precise answer. He could only pinch his nose and frown. He really wanted to know what the Red Star Factory was doing.

They were all working, and I had already understood your business, but what was the result?

After an office meeting, he seemed to remember a lot of content, but he also seemed not to remember it.

The main reason was that the pace of the meeting organized and presided over by Li Xuewu was too fast, and he couldn't keep up.

It's not an exaggeration to say that he was vigorous and resolute. He was familiar with Lao Li, and he didn't know what was going on.

Let's ask, he didn't hear it all, but Lao Li understood it all?

He was not convinced!

He could accept anyone, but not Lao Li.

He knew nothing about the business!

"Before...it wasn't like this before."

Old Li was quite good at making things happen. After listening to his awkward question, he thought about it carefully and then answered: "It used to take four or five hours."

"Yeah, a meeting discusses seventeen topics, and it's over in two hours?"

Yang Jun said no "Sister Li", he pointed at his watch and said: "Opening and ending five minutes each, one hundred and ten minutes for seventeen topics, an average of less than seven minutes per topic? This, this, this!"

"Is it really like that?"

Old Li looked at his watch curiously, as if he had just realized this math problem.

Or maybe he suspected that the other party's watch was not accurate, is the factory he manages so awesome?

Yang Jun didn't want to talk at this moment, he had realized that Old Li was pretending.

Moreover, he had set an ambush in advance and deliberately led him to be the supporting actor. He really wanted to slap himself in the face for asking this question, it was so disgusting.

He was really damned, and he actually let him pretend to be awesome here.

Lao Li's acting skills are actually OK. When he is with Li Xuewu, an old actor, his acting skills have not soared, but they have improved day by day.

But today, Li Xuewu was very active, improving the rhythm of the office meeting and teaching the people in the working group a lesson. He felt very relieved.

He was so happy that he couldn't suppress his smile, but he didn't want the cunning Yang Jun to see it.

He was also thick-skinned, and explained with a smile: "I really didn't pay attention to it before."

"In the past, we held a lot of meetings and solved whatever problems we encountered."

Li Huaide invited Yang Jun to the office and explained as he walked: "Later, in order to cope with the changes in the office system, our factory needs to improve work efficiency, and the management committee must set an example..."

This bragging still made Lao Li pretend. The other party wanted to leave, but he was pulled back to the office.

It's just bragging, anyway, it's all in the same system, and the Red Star Factory has made achievements.

Now it is not that Lao Li can brag as much as he wants. He said that he had a dream, and Yang Jun had to pinch his nose and say it was really awesome.

In fact, he wanted to leave to chase Li Xuewu.

He wanted to see what Li Xuewu was like in his daily work.

The two deputy team leaders had actually started working. After the conversation, more than a dozen people in the working group dispersed to various offices, branches and workshops to conduct research and investigations and summarize the working conditions of the whole factory.

More than a dozen people in public and more than a dozen people in secret, which can be regarded as the importance of Red Star Factory.

Moreover, he, the team leader, is only the leader of this group in public, and he doesn't know who is in secret.

Therefore, the superiors attach importance to Red Star Factory and protect it, and don't give them the opportunity to make trouble.

Enterprises that have been labeled as red by the leaders can only be rectified, not rectified, this is the bottom line.

——

"You are so hard to get an appointment with——"

As soon as Maggie Roman, the cultural attaché of the French Foreign Affairs Embassy, ​​saw Li Xuewu walk into the restaurant, she complained to him: "You are busier than Charles de Gaulle!"

"Hey? How can you compare like that?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Mr. Charles de Gaulle's life is not as good as mine now."

"Thank you——"

As he sat down, after thanking the waiter, he looked at the people at the table and said with a smile: "I can enjoy delicious food and wine with friends from Italy and France in my own country, but Mr. Charles de Gaulle may not be able to do so."

"You are so mean——"

Chantal looked at Li Xuewu and said: "Are you trying to sow discord?"

"No, this is to emphasize the importance of friendship."

Li Xuewu pretended to defend himself seriously, then raised his glass and clinked it with a few people, saying: "My alcohol tolerance is limited, please forgive me."

"Hey? Isn't it right?"

Maggie took a sip, frowned and looked at him and said, "Are you kidding? Last time!"

She pointed at Li Xuewu and asked Chantal, "Last time at the Red Star Factory, was he the one who got that guy from East Africa drunk?"

"I remember his name was Art."

Andrew shook his red wine glass and said with a smile, "The hyena from Yemen made a fortune."

"Yes, it was Art——"

Maggie glared at Li Xuewu with a reproachful look and said, "So you can lie too!"

"We call this kind of talk modesty."

Li Xuewu deliberately joked: "As a country of etiquette, we should always show a kind attitude."

"Hmm--"

Chantal shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "I know this kind of modesty too well!"

She pointed at Li Xuewu and said: "They told me that the more modest the Chinese are at the table, the more they can drink. They call this... called..., what is that Chinese saying?"

She called it for a long time, but she couldn't remember how to say that sentence, so she turned to ask Maggie.

Maggie didn't understand what she meant, frowned and thought, Andrew had been in the Northeast for a long time.

He has learned Chinese, but he has learned it in a wrong way, learning the Northeastern dialect.

Coincidentally, among the teachers who taught him the Northeastern dialect, some were from Huludao.

Just listen, an Italian speaks the Northeastern dialect to you in a suspicious tone.

"Just for fun--"

Pay attention here, the Huludao accent, the "uh" is raised when it is said, with a suspicious tone.

Maggie learned Mandarin, so she spoke with a stuttering tongue, but it was understandable.

At this moment, she repeated: "Yes! Hehe——"

"Just a token! Just a token!"

Chantal had wine in her mouth, so she could only nod her head vigorously before she could speak.

She even picked up her wine glass and celebrated with the two excitedly.

How can I say it? The four people present can speak French, so there is no problem in communication.

However, three of them wanted to speak Chinese.

The result was... Li Xuewu, whose mother tongue is Chinese, was confused and helpless.

Let's not talk about who taught these three people foreign languages, why did they teach everything!

Today, they even taught them to just "just a token", so should they also teach them to "have less tomorrow"!

This is too wrong. How many years of accumulated drinking culture is just so selflessly given away?

"Come on, show some respect!"

"Haha! Show some respect!"

——

"How much do you want to drink?"

He Yushui leaned her elbows on the bar, looking at Li Xuewu who had just sent the guests back.

Of course she knew how much he could drink, but she didn't know whether his blush was from drinking or the wind.

Li Xuewu ignored her, asked for the bill from the bar, and nodded after looking at the prices on it.

"Boss, the guests have already paid the bill."

The bartender reminded: "It was the secretary of that lady who paid the bill and asked for the receipt."

"Uh-huh-"

While Li Xuewu responded, he took out his notebook and made relevant records according to the receipt.

"What for?"

Yushui came over and took a look, and asked: "They treated us to a meal, and you still want to pay them back?"

The notebook not only recorded the previous itinerary of French businessman Chantal, including visits to Gangcheng and Yingcheng, and following up on the progress of related projects, but also included the laying of keels, installation and processing of new equipment at the port, etc.

At the bottom of the page was today's business entertainment memorandum, with detailed contents marked.

"Too careful, isn't it?" She asked with a frown: "Didn't we talk about work?"

"How did your vice president do it?"

Li Xuewu knocked her head with the pencil in his hand, and said with a curled lip: "Don't you need to write a report for foreign affairs?"

After that, he closed the notebook in his hand and signaled the waiter who was pursing his lips and holding back a smile to stamp the bill and mark the payment situation.

"Don't you make mistakes?"

He Yushui raised his hand and rubbed his head. In fact, it didn't hurt, it was just a habitual reaction.

At this moment, she curled her lips and said, "So careful, what kind of complicated situation have you encountered?"

"There are no complicated situations, only complicated people," Li Xuewu put away the bills, raised the notebook in his hand, glanced at her and said, "Learn something, don't suffer any loss-"

"Coward-coward-"

He Yushui muttered, and seeing that he was about to leave, she chased him and asked, "Don't stop, it's snowing heavily outside!"

"Don't stop, you must go home before ten o'clock."

Li Xuewu's answer was straightforward and resolute. Let alone heavy snow outside, it was even knives...

Hmm? Then don't go back. What if you get hurt? Fortunately, it's snowing heavily today.

"Huh-"

After leaving the door, he looked up at the gray sky. At this time, the light pollution in the city of Sijiu was not as serious as in the future, and the sky was still dark.

In the future... the lights in Shang K are darker than the night sky of Sijiu City, and colorful.

"You are such a stubborn person!"

He Yushui chased him out. She was wearing a spring and autumn workwear and shrieked with cold. She almost cursed.

"What's wrong with staying overnight? Can it ruin your innocence?"

"Don't talk nonsense. How could I... cough cough!"

Li Xuewu turned around and glared at her, motioned to the car under the steps, and said, "Go back quickly. There are two children at home. How dare you live outside?"

"If you don't help with the work tomorrow morning, you won't have to eat breakfast. You still have to send Li Shu back to the compound."

As he said this, he had already walked down the steps, and after getting in the car, he waved to the rain on the steps.

Watching the jeep drive out of the compound, He Yushui, who was standing at the door, rubbed his arms and returned to the hall with drooping eyelids.

Li Xuewu was still the same Li Xuewu, majestic and exquisite.

He was even more stunned when he fooled those foreigners, and he settled the business tour group in one meal.

He was always so wise, comprehensive, and quick-thinking, which made people admire and respect him.

But Li Xuewu was no longer the same Li Xuewu.

The original Li Xuewu lived in the compound, and the current Li Xuewu lived at home where he had to go back before ten o'clock.

There were two children and a warm home waiting for his lover.

It was just that she felt cold outside, and the loneliness in her heart was more obvious than what she felt physically.

It can be seen that Li Xuewu said these not to reject her, nor to remind her, but to ignore her and ignore her special care.

The happiness revealed inadvertently is more real in this neglect.

Perhaps he only cares, cares and tolerates me, even if the only heartbeat is just a little impulse between men and women.

This is the sadness and pain she can empathize with today's heavy snow.

The most sad day is the cold night, and the haggard person is unbearable.

Inviting wine to break the intestines and get drunk, looking for fragrance and awakening the dream at five o'clock in the morning.

The hairpin is tilted, and you have tears, and I have no chance to see the tea flower.

The lonely heart and the moon in the small building are hard to be like a hook and hard to be round.
