Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 1211 You are busier than Charles de Gaulle!

"Hey, Xiaobai, did you buy a motorcycle?"

Yu Li looked at her with a smile, especially the Comet motorcycle next to her.

This motorcycle is very popular among young people nowadays.

If you say that you are one of the gangsters and are just a small follower, that's okay.

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

However, if you want to get along well with this group of people and have face, you must get one.

Whether they are gangsters or veterans, especially veterans, they have more money and care more about face.

In the eyes of veterans, there are only two kinds of face: one is what you wear on your body, and the other is what you ride on.

Whether it's a car or a woman, it's all the same.

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

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

But she still hesitated until now because she was still worried that it would be too ostentatious to ride a motorcycle to and from get off work, and it would be too cold in winter.

So, 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 person she knew in this compound to ride one.

So I'm quite curious. Now looking at the white car body and the small structure, my heart is itching like a cat's paw.

Zhou Xiaobai is not a person who likes to show off, and he will not compare himself with anyone.

She has had this capital since she was young, and the environment she lives in does not require her to show off or compare with others.

In front of Li, she never showed pride of her background and higher knowledge.

The affinity and ability that the other person possesses are exactly what she needs to learn and draw lessons from.

So when Yu Li showed closeness, she also showed kindness.

"Sister, want to try?"

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

Yu Li took it in her hand and said with a smile: "What if it falls? You are so careless."

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

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

He pushed Yu Li onto the motorcycle and taught her how to shift gears and how to accelerate.

Of course, I also did not forget to teach Yu Li how to stop the car and step on the brakes.

Even though it’s only a 50CC machine, this thing has a small frame, is lightweight, and can be driven just by turning on the oil.

Especially when female comrades ride, the speed can reach about 100.

Just think about it, if this little thing runs at a speed of 100, ordinary roads will not be able to support it.

It should be a smooth road like the one in the Grand Plaza, otherwise you would have to take a roller coaster if you go over 70 miles per hour.

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

Under Zhou Xiaobai's hands-on instruction, 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 patrolling security guards, the waiters and coaches at work, and the members who came for training all joked about the two as they passed by.

Zhao Laosi stood at the door of the security room with his arms folded, laughing and clapping and making jokes from time to time.

Yu Li jumped off the motorcycle, smiled and handed it back to Zhou Xiaobai, asking, "How much did you buy it for? Did you use the preferential policy?"

"Does Xiaobai need to buy his own bike?"

Zhao Laosi strolled over, touched the handlebars of the motorcycle with envy, and said jokingly: "How many young talents in the city are eager to take the initiative to show their courtesy!"

"There's just no queue. If there was a queue, it would stretch from our main entrance to outside Xizhimen!"

"Screw you--"

Zhou Xiaobai said something to him, then turned to look at Yu Li and explained, "Someone wanted to send me off."

"Who? Zhang Haiyang?"

Zhao Laosi knew all of Zhou Xiaobai's suitors, so he smiled and asked, "Is it the Zhong Yuemin who waits to pick you up from get off work every day?"

"You know a lot—"

Yu Li glanced at him and asked with amusement, "Could it be... that you are also interested in our Xiao Bai? Otherwise, why are you 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 without saying a word, as if he was looking forward to his answer.

I originally came to watch the fun, but I was amused by these two people. How could Zhao Laosi suffer this loss?
"Well, I couldn't hide my feelings, but you saw through them."

He pretended to be shy and said, "Who wouldn't like Xiaobai? It's my grandson who doesn't like him!"

"Hahaha--"

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

Especially the one I 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, then turned to 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 lack the money, I just don't need it for the time being."

She pouted and said angrily, "I regretted it after I bought it."

"Why should I get angry with them? It's meaningless. I just wasted more than 400 yuan—"

"What's going on? Why?"

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

"It's Zhong Yuemin and the others—"

Zhou Xiaobai got angry when he mentioned this, and all his enthusiasm for showing off his motorcycle was gone.

He handed the handlebars to Zhao Laosi, and without paying any attention to his own bike, he took Yu Li's arm and walked back, saying, "You must give me a motorcycle."

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

"What the hell? Did you borrow money to buy it?"

After listening to Zhou Xiaobai's complaints, Yu Li asked with amusement and curiosity: "Aren't they making money?"

"Yes, they make money, but they spend it as fast as they make it. Don't you know about them?"

Zhou Xiaobai rolled his eyes and said, "As long as I have money in my pocket, the first thing I think of is food."

"Look at them, in just three months, their faces have become round and their stomachs are full."

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

"I never expected that they would do this to me. What have I become?"

"It's fine, don't be angry—"

Yu Li tried to persuade her, saying, "So you bought yourself a motorcycle just because of this?"

"I just want to show them that they shouldn't think they can do whatever they want just because they have money."

"Well, I have ambition—"

Yu Li nodded, thinking that this young lady's ambition was supported by Li Xuewu.

What kind of ambition is this? It's really infuriating.
-

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

Li Huaide saw Li Xuewu coming over and took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Comrade Li Xuewu, Deputy Director of our Commission Office. He also works for the security team."

"Hello, Team Leader Yang, I'm Li Xuewu."

Li Xuewu smiled and took the initiative to shake the other party's extended hand, and greeted him with a smile.

From the words Li Huaide introduced, one can hear some meaningful differences.

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

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

You know what, after this introduction, the complicated situation of the security team suddenly became much clearer.

During this special period, the factory management committee strengthened its management and leadership of safety and arranged a deputy director of the committee office to serve as deputy team leader of the security team, which is understandable.

Although the cadres in the factory office were all aware of Li Xuewu's base, the working group could not find any related problems.

"I've heard for a long time that there is a young talent in the Red Star Factory. After meeting him today, I find that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Yang Jun's words were very clear and his attitude was very warm and friendly.

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

"You are too kind," Li Xuewu smiled and said politely, "You are still a young man, but I don't dare to call myself a hero. I still need to learn and practice more."

"You are too modest—"

Yang Jun loosened his grip and introduced the two people standing beside him: "You should have heard of him. He is the youngest criminal investigation expert in the Ministry of Industry and Security."

"He should be a rare cadre in our system who also holds the position of deputy group leader."

He looked at Li Xuewu with great appreciation and said, "He has many honors, strong abilities, and a stable mind, especially his business ability."

"I've heard of you," one of the two people he introduced extended his hand to greet Li Xuewu, "Cai Zhixing from the Organization Department, deputy leader of the working group stationed in the Red Star Factory this time."

"Hello, Director Cai. Thank you for your care."

Li Xuewu shook hands with him with a smile and said something politely and modestly.

Cai Zhixing loosened his hand, and the other person standing next to him extended his hand at the same time.

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

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

Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands, and extended his welcome to the last person.

Zhou Zechuan raised his eyebrows and said little, but his eyes showed that he was very understanding.

Li Xuewu recognized all the leaders of the working group, one director and two deputy directors, before the work meeting began.

"There was some business work in Steel City and Ying City a few days ago, so I asked him to make a trip."

After Li Huaide saw that several people had introduced themselves to each other, he took the initiative to explain for Li Xuewu.

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

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

"Don't let us delay the work in the factory. Keep doing what you normally do."

He looked at the two deputy team leaders beside him and said, "The leader said that we should pay attention to the methods and ways of doing our work, and use our ears more and our mouths less."

"You are too polite," Li Huaide laughed and said, "I would like to hear more of your valuable opinions. Please don't be secretive——"

"Hahaha--"

In the small lounge next to the meeting room, a group of people were sitting or standing and chatting and laughing.

It was mainly Yang Jun and Li Huaide who spoke, and the others echoed or interjected.

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

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

"Before we came, our leaders repeatedly warned us not to cause trouble for the company."

He nodded slowly and said, "I had the same opinion in the meeting with the team. Let's 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 they heard the working group was coming, they were 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--"

The joke wasn't funny, but everyone in the room laughed.

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

"Take this as a warning and a lesson."

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

"Advanced companies like Red Star should discover and seek the secret of success."

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

Yang Jun looked at Li Huaide and said, "So please Director Li, don't be secretive. Let us see and learn the secret of the development of the Red Star Factory!"

"Hahaha--"

Li Huaide laughed loudly and glanced at Li Xuewu inadvertently.

Li Xuewu was also smiling. Their eyes met briefly and they shared their thoughts with each other.

(Li Huaide: Do you believe this?)

(Li Xuewu: I don’t believe it!)
-

"Deputy Director Li, sit over here—"

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

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

There are generally no brand names used in meetings these days, but the Red Star Factory does have them, but they are only used on important occasions.

In daily team meetings or work meetings, everyone knows where to sit, and no outsiders are allowed to attend, so name tags are rarely placed on the tables.

It didn't happen today either, because the three members of 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 of them went upstairs, and when they met Li Huaide, they had no choice but to accept him.

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

But who would have thought that even though he wanted to give up his seat, someone was still thinking about him and holding the front seat for him.

Shi Ruoweng, deputy director of the commission's office, is in charge of the commission's office's organizational work, which of course also includes organizing meetings.

At this moment, he was standing behind the seat where Li Xuewu usually sat, looking at this side with a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, the meeting room suddenly became quiet. Some people were surprised, while others frowned.

Of course, there is always a lack of people who like to watch the fun at such a scene.

"Deputy Director Li's usual position."

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

His expression was very playful, and seemed aggrieved and helpless, which made people linger on it.

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

They were also very surprised that such a situation would occur at the Red Star Factory's team meeting.

Looking at Old Li's face, it had turned gloomy, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Shi Ruoweng was as sharp as a knife.

However, Shi Ruoweng seemed to be turning a blind eye to it at the moment, and seemed to be immersed in the joy of enthusiastically helping Li Xuewu to secure a seat.

Everyone in the conference room who knew about this knew that Li Xuewu had retreated to advance and kicked Shi Ruoweng out. Today, Shi Ruoweng took advantage of the situation and exposed Li Xuewu's past in front of the working group.

Everyone waited with bated breath, 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?

Is it possible to reach the current position at the age of 21 without some means?

Therefore, no matter how good the relationship between the team members and Li Xuewu was, at this time they just frowned and looked at Shi Ruoweng coldly.

There is no such thing as speaking for Li Xuewu.

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

Under the expectation of everyone at the Red Star Factory and the strange gazes of the three members of the working group, Li Xuewu instantly moved forward and greeted with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Deputy Director of the Division..."

In a flash, everyone's eyes and mentality changed within less than two seconds, and he took action.

He walked calmly and directly to his seat, and was polite to Shi Ruoweng.

Of course, this politeness lacked the gunpowder smell that everyone expected, and was filled with a bit more contempt and disdain.

Shi Ruoweng stood beside him, like a subordinate, who was still not satisfied with the recognition from his leader.

Li Huaide's frown relaxed instantly, and everyone looked regretful that the show ended too quickly.

They just exchanged glances, and the greetings and sitting down were instantly resumed. No one paid any attention to Shi Ruoweng anymore.

He became the accident before today's meeting started, and in this deliberately created accident, 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 demonstrate his superb organizational and adaptability skills.
-

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

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

In fact, if you think about it, you will understand how impressive it is for someone so young to be able to sit next to Li Huaide and overpower other leaders of the Management Committee.

Looking back, is this impressive?
At this level, is prestige useful?

They are able to represent the department to conduct research, and they are not good-for-nothings or trash.

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

However, Li Xuewu's calmness and confidence made the three of them look at him with new eyes.

The youthful vigor and integrity were immediately apparent.

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

Today, Li Xuewu's full firepower could be felt not only by the three members of the working group, but also by the leaders of other management committees.

Starting from investigating the problems found and business adjustment experiences of Tianjin Trade Management Center, to the report on the investigation of Yingcheng ships and ship market.

When Li Xuewu was speaking, no one else could get a word in. They were so busy taking notes that they were worried about missing some key data as they followed the materials with their pencils. Everyone was surprised.

Including some department heads present, it was the first time for everyone at the Red Star Factory to experience Li Xuewu's full working ability.

In particular, some of the feasible opinions and suggestions he mentioned in the report were supported by research reports and data, which is very impressive.

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

I thought I was well prepared, and when I was listening to Li Xuewu's report, I was holding the same work materials in my hands as the other members of the management committee. But how come... I couldn't understand what he was saying?
Li Huaide sat in the first seat, his eyes slightly closed, 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 seek necessary opinions from the team members.

The process from raising the issue, to explaining it clearly, to analyzing it with the support of materials and data, to finally discussing it, reaching opinions, and deciding on the treatment conclusion was so smooth that the three members of the working group were stunned.

The Red Star Factory team isn't just playing us, right?

Was this rehearsed in advance?

Just to make us look good?
That's unlikely. Is there any contradiction in rehearsing in advance? What's going on before the meeting starts?
The least likely scenario was a drill. They watched Li Xuewu call the relevant person in charge to carry out the action.

At the meeting, just after the conclusion and handling opinions of the problem were reached, he directly mentioned the names of the heads of relevant departments present.

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 departments involved in the problem.

Explain the work on site, inquire about the execution attitude on site, and determine the execution deadline and person in charge on site.

As for other departments, there were several chairs at the other end of the desk facing where Li Huaide was sitting, with people from different departments sitting on them.

If department heads have any opinions or difficulties, they can raise them on the spot and they will be resolved on the spot quite quickly.

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

Yang Jun and the other two were really shocked. They glanced at the attitudes of everyone at the meeting and knew that they were not acting. One could tell from their usual serious attitudes.

Although this process seems long, the problem is actually handled very quickly.

Because the people who raise questions and opinions, as well as those who implement feedback, sit together, they can talk if they have something to say, and pass the time by being honest with each other, so time goes by very quickly.

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

What efficiency?
Save all the time on reporting and communication and handle it directly at your desk.

All the leaders are here, whoever is in charge speaks, and others can raise opinions or questions.

Instead, Li Huaide gave up his power and freedom of action, and even handed over the presiding of meetings to Li Xuewu, who was outstanding in ability and strong in execution.

He was only responsible for coordination and decision-making, which allowed Yang Jun and others to see the secret of the Red Star Factory's rapid development and stable operation.
-

I had already been eyeing today's office meeting, and according to the work briefing, the meeting time is two hours.

In a two-hour office meeting, what can we talk about?
Generally speaking, discussing four or five issues and expressing some instructions is enough.

Let me put it this way, office meetings rarely last two hours, they usually take the whole morning.

It starts at nine in the morning and ends at twelve, a total of three hours.

Or it can be earlier, or even later, to three and a half, four, or five hours.

There is a lot of work in the factory, and when it is put together, it will inevitably take a lot of time to discuss and study.

However, today's Red Star Factory taught the working group members a unique lesson.

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

"Red Star Factory is in the process of expanding in size, staff and business. This is not a big problem. Don't take it too seriously."

In response to Li Huaide's apology, Yang Jun showed a tough side.

He told Li Huaide: "Enforcing discipline and personnel is a long-term and serious task, and it takes time to carry out construction. I can understand that."

"Thank you for your understanding..."

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

"Hey, I've already told you, 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 that I have been holding back for a while."

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

If you want to show off, of course you have to do it step by step. If no one asks you, your show off will not be perfect.

"I want to ask, you guys—"

Yang Jun paused here, reorganized his words, frowned and asked: "Were meetings held like this before... so efficient?"

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

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

We are all just doing our jobs. I clearly understand your business, but what’s the result?

After an office meeting, he seemed to remember a lot of content, but also seemed to remember nothing.

The main reason was that the pace of the meeting organized and hosted by Li Xuewu was too fast and he could hardly keep up.

It's no exaggeration to say that he is swift and decisive. He is familiar with Lao Li, how could he not know what's going on?

Just imagine that he didn't hear it all and didn't understand it, but Lao Li understood it all and heard it all?
He is not convinced!
I can obey anyone, but I just can't obey Lao Li.

He understands the chicken feather business!
"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 before answering, "It used to take four or five hours."

"Yeah, a meeting to discuss seventeen topics, and it was finished in two hours?"

Yang Jun said he was not "Sister Li". He pointed at his watch and said, "The opening and closing were five minutes each. There were 17 topics in 110 minutes. On average, each topic took less than seven minutes? This, this, this!"

"Is that true?"

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

Or you may be doubting whether the other party's watch is inaccurate. Is the factory you manage so awesome?

Yang Jun didn't want to talk at this moment. He had realized that Lao Li was pretending.

Moreover, they had laid an ambush in advance and deliberately led him to be the supporting actor. When he asked this question, he really wanted to slap himself in the face. It was so damn disgusting.

Damn myself, I actually let him act so big here.

Lao Li's acting skills are actually pretty good. When he works with veteran actor Li Xuewu, his acting skills haven't skyrocketed, but they've improved day by day.

But today Li Xuewu was in high spirits, he increased the pace of the office meeting and taught a lesson to the people in these working groups, and he felt very relieved.

She was so happy that she couldn't suppress a smile on her face, but she didn't want the cunning Yang Jun to see it.

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

"In the past, we held various meetings and solved whatever problems came up."

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 beep still made Lao Li pretend to be successful. The other party wanted to leave, but he was pulled back to the office by him.

It's no big deal to brag, it's all part of the same system anyway, and the Red Star Factory has already achieved results.

Now, Old Li can brag whatever he wants. Even if he says that this idea he dreamed of, Yang Jun has to pinch his nose and say it's really awesome.

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

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

The two deputy team leaders had actually already 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 surveys and summarize the work status of the entire factory.

There are more than a dozen of them openly and more than a dozen of them secretly. This can be regarded as the importance attached to the Red Star Factory.

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

Therefore, the higher-ups attached great importance to and protected the Red Star Factory, and did not give them any chance to cause trouble.

Enterprises that have been given a red flag by their leaders can only be rectified, not rectified. This is the bottom line.
-

"You're so hard to date—"

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

"Eh? Can you compare it like that?"

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

"Thanks--"

As he sat down and thanked 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, which Mr. Charles de Gaulle may not be able to do."

"You are so mean—"

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

"No, it's about emphasizing the importance of friendship."

Li Xuewu pretended to defend himself seriously, then raised his glass and clinked it with the others, saying, "I can only drink a limited amount of alcohol, please forgive me."

"Eh? Isn't that right?"

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

She pointed at Li Xuewu and asked Chantal, "Did he get that guy from East Africa drunk at the Red Star Factory last time?"

"I think his name should be Art."

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

"Yes, it's Art——"

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

"We call that kind of talk modesty."

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

"Um--"

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 Chinese people are at the table, the more they can drink. They call this... called... What's that Chinese saying?"

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

Maggie didn't understand what she meant. She frowned and thought that Andrew had spent more time in the Northeast.

He has learned Chinese well, but he learned it in a wrong way and learned Northeastern dialect.

Coincidentally, some of the teachers who taught him Northeastern dialect were from HuLdao.

Just listen to an Italian speaking Northeastern dialect to you in a skeptical tone.

"Just a token of my appreciation——"

Pay attention here, in the HuLdao accent, the "eye" is raised when it is spoken, with a doubtful tone.

Maggie learned Mandarin, and she spoke it haltingly with a lisp, but it was understandable.

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

"I appreciate it! I appreciate it!"

Chantal had wine in her mouth and had no time to speak, so she could only nod vigorously to indicate that this was what she meant.

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

Well, the four people here can speak French, so there is no problem in communication.

However, there are three old six who want to speak Chinese.

The result was... Li Xuewu, whose native language is Chinese, was confused and helpless.

Let’s not talk about who taught these three people foreign languages. Why did they teach them everything?

I've even taught you a lesson today about how to do it, so should I also teach you how to do it less tomorrow?
This is totally wrong. The drinking culture that has been accumulated over so many years is just going to be thrown away so selflessly?

"Come on, show some appreciation!"

"Haha! Just a token of my appreciation!"
-

"How much do you drink?"

He Yushui rested his elbows on the bar, looking at Li Xuewu who had just returned from seeing off the guests.

Of course she knew how much he could drink, but she didn't know whether his blushing face was caused by drinking or the wind.

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

"Boss, the guest has already paid the bill."

The bartender reminded, "It was the lady's secretary who paid the bill and asked for the receipt."

"Uh-huh--"

While responding, Li Xuewu took out his notebook and made relevant records according to the documents.

"What?"

Yu Shui came over to take a look and asked, "They treated you to a meal, and you're going to give them back?"

The notebook not only records the French businessman Chantal’s previous itinerary, including visits to Steel City and Camp City to follow up on the progress of related projects, but also includes the keel laying, installation and processing of new equipment at the port, and so on.

At the bottom of the page is today's business entertainment memo, with detailed content marked out.

"Too detailed, isn't it?" She frowned and asked, "Didn't we say we were going to talk about work?"

"What did your vice president do?"

Li Xuewu tapped her head with the pencil in his hand and said with a curled lip, "Don't we have to write reports for foreign affairs?"

After saying that, he closed the notebook in his hand and signaled the waiter, who was pursing his lips and trying not to smile, to stamp the receipt and mark the payment details.

"Don't you ever make mistakes?"

He Yushui raised his hand and rubbed his head. It didn’t hurt, it was just a habitual reaction.

At this moment, he curled his lips and said, "You are so careful. What complicated situations 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, you won't suffer any loss--"

"Coward..."

He Yushui muttered, and when he saw him about to leave, he chased after him and asked, "Don't stop, it's snowing heavily outside!"

"No, you have to go home before ten o'clock."

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

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

"call--"

After going out, he looked up at the gray sky. At this time, the light pollution in the city was not as serious as in later generations, and the sky was still dark.

In later generations...the lights in the shopping malls were darker and more colorful than the night sky of Beijing.

"You are such a stubborn person!"

He Yushui chased out. She was wearing spring and autumn work clothes and she groaned in coldness and almost cursed.

"What's wrong with staying for one night? Will it cost you your innocence?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't... cough cough!"

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

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

As he said this, he had already walked down the stairs, got into the car, and waved to the rain on the stairs.

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

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

The foreigners were so stunned that they were completely fooled. The commercial tour group was settled in just one meal.

He is always so wise, comprehensive, and quick-thinking, making people admire and respect him.

But Li Xuewu is no longer the same Li Xuewu.

The original Li Xuewu lived in the compound, but now he lives at home where he must return before ten o'clock.

There are two children and a warm home where my lover is waiting for me.

Although she felt cold outside, the loneliness in her heart was even more obvious than what her body felt.

It can be seen that Li Xuewu was not rejecting her or reminding her by saying these things, but rather ignoring her and her special concern.

The happiness revealed inadvertently becomes more real precisely in this kind of neglect.

Maybe he only cares about, is concerned about and tolerant of me, and even if he has a slight affection for me, it is just that little impulse between men and women.

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

The saddest thing is the cool late evening, and the haggard person is beyond pity.

I was drunk after three cups of wine, and woke up from a cold dream at five o'clock in the morning after searching for fragrance.

The phoenix hairpin is slanting, and you are in tears; I have no chance to see the rose flower.

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