stand-in offense and defense

Su Shi's action happened to touch Sheng Bin's memory of the night the two of them spent in the car.

He frowned and compared his head: "Drive."

Compared with the domestic traffic situation, Palestine is not in a better state. I don’t think it is very close on the map. The environment of the house is very good. Sheng Bin himself is quite satisfied. He took out the key to open the door. The space should be quite spacious.

"It looks pretty good."

Su Shi gave a comment, and then threw the bag to his feet casually: "It's just a little empty for living alone."

"It's more in line with your preferences, flashy."

"Didn't you scold yourself too?" Su Shi smiled, "Although the word flashy, I don't think it's wrong."

This house has a backyard. The layout is divided into upper and lower floors, but the so-called upper floor is a storage room similar to an attic. It is definitely useless for people to live in. The room is quite rich. According to Sheng Bin's simple life pattern, about half of it will be used. not on.

Su Shi mocked that the person who was looking for this house must not know Sheng Bin at all. Anyway, he didn't have much luggage, so Sheng Bin chose a room and tidied it up.

Suddenly, Sheng Bin's cell phone rang.

The room was too empty, causing a loud echo. Su Shi was taken aback, and threw Sheng Bin's cell phone on the table with a displeased face.

"Hey."

The greetings are always simple and clear without any nonsense, Su Shi rolled his eyes.

Sheng Bin's expression was always rather dull, and after listening for a long time, he would occasionally reply with a few words of yes, and finally replied very coldly: "Wait for me to go back." Then he hung up the phone directly.

Su Shi raised his eyebrows: "Business?"

Recently, Sheng Bin's main work has been tied to him, within 2 minutes before and after.

As a result, the other party put the phone in his pocket, and simply replied: "I'll go back to the meeting later, are you going back to the hotel or do you have arrangements?"

"A meeting?" Su Shi subconsciously thought of Di Ruizhong: "I don't need to go back?"

"Well, it has nothing to do with you."

In any case, he is a government official, and his office frequency is completely different from that of a Soviet-style businessman.

Su Shi didn't have much interest in inquiring more, so he casually shook his head and said that he would go back to the hotel to sleep. Anyway, the meeting with Palestine was in the afternoon, and he could take some time to rest during this period.He got up early this morning, and he didn't know why he was so excited about Sheng Bin's move.

In fact, Jiang Qun made the call that Sheng Bin answered, telling him to go back quickly, but specifically reminding him not to let Su Shi follow.

When he got to the office, Jiang Qun handed Sheng Bin a document.

This is an internal official document of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. To be precise, it is a notice. The content is roughly that an original bidding project has been canceled due to special reasons, and some related issues should be dealt with by relevant departments as soon as possible.

Sheng Bin was stunned for a moment while holding the document: "Why so suddenly?"

"I've inquired about it, and it's said that there are other concurrent projects to be done, so it was temporarily canceled."

Jiang Qun sat on the sofa with an uneasy face: "How do you deal with this matter?"

Sheng Bin just held the document and didn't speak.

"If you tell Su Shi, there will be problems, but if you don't tell him, he will know about it sooner or later."

Su Shi took over the project on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In fact, the funds invested were all negotiated in advance. Since the capital injection was made directly by the Su Group, there was no connection with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the surface. However, in exchange for benefits, they would Some national projects are directly awarded to the Soviet Union, in other words, it is a relationship of exchanging profits.Now what Jiang Qun gave to Sheng Bin was an agreement project originally negotiated with Su Shi, which has been confirmed to be cancelled.

Jiang Qun looked at Sheng Bin without saying a word for a long time. After a long time, he coughed lightly: "Suppress this matter for now."

"Don't tell Su Shi?"

"You can tell him."

Sheng Bin looked at Jiang Qun: "You have more authority than me, so if you tell him, I have no objection."

As for his attitude, there is no need to explain.

In fact, Jiang Qun was not surprised by Sheng Bin's decision at all. The two of them were relatively silent for a while, and finally they just frowned and sighed.

Su Shi attended the negotiations with the Pakistani side on time in the afternoon, and his attitude remained tough.

Anyway, the role he originally played was the one who had made a firm stand. As long as Sheng Bin didn't speak, he would insist on the terms of the contract with Palestine, analyze various pros and cons, and force the other party to back down with every word. retreat.

"This contract has been dragged on until now, and it's almost okay. I believe you are well aware that with such a large sum of money, most of them are unwilling to pay for it. If you continue to drag it on, you must be the ones who will be affected."

In the construction of this kind of project, there are often more people who get a share of the pie, and fewer people who are willing to be taken advantage of.

The reason why Di Ruizhong and the others have been around for so long is that their main purpose is to meddle rather than win the project. However, even if the US is willing to contribute, Palestine would rather cooperate with the Soviets than be controlled again In the hands of the United States.

It's just that Su Shi's words are almost an ultimatum.

The representative of Palestine frowned: "But this condition is too harsh, and it is not good for us at all."

"Good? You forgot who this building was built for."

The amount is not small, but they are purely free hands.

The so-called lack of popular support is the reason. Palestine wants the United States to intervene. It is nothing more than hoping that they and the United States will check each other's sphere of influence so as to ease the pressure on their own intelligence. This kind of calculation under the table has not been publicly stated, but everyone clear.

Su Shi had told Sheng Bin before that these measurements between businessmen were really exchanged for diplomacy, which was like a farce, and it was not enough to watch at all. Not to mention the various intelligence methods of reciprocity, let’s just talk about a simple one. It is really difficult to understand that all construction projects require painstaking efforts to this point.

In previous meetings, Sheng Bin rarely spoke.

On the bright side, he holds the final decision-making power in his hands but rarely expresses his opinions clearly. Many words thrown out by Su Shi, even if there is no possibility of implementation, he also keeps silent, and even if he speaks, it is irrelevant. It is better to say that he is a supervisor than that he is here to negotiate, indicating that the official has always been more concerned about this matter.

Therefore, Su Shi was a little surprised when he suddenly spoke at this time.

Moreover, Sheng Bin's attitude was unexpectedly tough: "The assistance we have participated in is not one or two. This kind of progress is not an ideal explanation for you or us."

What he said was directly referring to the Palestinian government.

Su Shi seldom saw Sheng Bin raise the issue to this level, so he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, but didn't answer.

"Mr. Su actually represents all the sincerity of our Chinese side. For so many days, we have carefully discussed every clause of the contract. This kind of free support and construction is for the friendship and common development of the two countries. In fact, delaying After so long, I am also very confused about where the problem lies, and I also said that you have reservations about this kind of good attitude.”

This time, even Jiang Qun gave Sheng Bin a sideways look.

The face of the Pakistani delegation was a little stiff. They exchanged opinions with each other, and finally the negotiator squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Su does not need to doubt the sincerity of cooperation. We just think that there are some specific matters that need to be negotiated." In this way, we will go back and draw up a specific time for signing the contract, and we will discuss it in detail the day after tomorrow.”

Sure enough, you can't force it!

Su Shi smiled coldly, stood up pretendingly and shook hands with the representative of the other party, and refused the so-called dinner party proposed as usual.

Then unexpectedly, Sheng Bin agreed.

"I just heard from my friend yesterday that there is a very good restaurant with special features, so why don't we try it together?"

When he said this, Su Shi narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Qun was absent at night because of business, and Su Shi finally followed Sheng Bin to the dinner party, even if he felt a little ridiculous in his heart.

People in Palestine drink more than he imagined.

Moreover, the Su-style blended spirits that he likes to drink here are a bit uncomfortable. In the end, if he didn't rely on willpower to hold on, he might be ashamed to hide in the bathroom and vomit.

Sheng Bin's situation is not much better than his.

Both of them were sent back to the hotel by car. Since they didn't know where Sheng Bin moved, the driver of that office threw them both in a Su-style room.

The two men, who didn't even take off their clothes, slept in the dark.

The feeling of waking up after drinking strong alcohol and hangover is very painful. When Su Shi woke up the next day, he burst out with a series of swear words.

Sheng Bin wasn't awake at all, he was lying on his side, his suit jacket was wrinkled, the collar of his shirt was ripped open by himself, his tie was half hanging loosely, his whole body exudes a sense of defenseless relaxation.

If it wasn't for the painful frown between his brows because of the alcohol, this scene was so pleasing to the eye that Su Shi didn't want to look away.

From a man's point of view, Sheng Bin looks very good-looking.I don't care about the indifferent aura around him, as far as his facial features are concerned, he is handsome and handsome, with a hint of chic.It's just that once this person opens his eyes, the temperature in his eyes will dilute the already weak ease, making him appear to be restrained and rigid, so sharp that it makes people want to retreat.

"What a waste of this face..."

Su Shi snorted a little dissatisfied, and traced along Sheng Bin's eyebrows and down his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose slowly, and finally drew his lips, paused for a while, and started to swim down.

——The rhetoric of terminating the physical relationship that was decided at the beginning is really asking for trouble!

The flames in his eyes became more and more intense, Su Shi withdrew his hand angrily at the last moment, and then rushed into the bathroom to take a shower with a displeased face, and when he came out again, he was already quite awake.

But the man on the bed still didn't respond.

He smiled, poured himself a glass of mineral water slowly, then opened his notebook and checked his mail as usual.

Although he came to this kind of place on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assist in the construction, he still needs to intervene in many matters in the company. Tian Lan will basically sort out and throw things that require him to make decisions at a fixed time, and when he has time, deal with.

After clicking on the emails one by one and replying one by one, the Soviet-style glass of water was almost finished, and he lit a cigarette casually.

Then, without warning, his eyes that had been relatively relaxed all the time began to become serious, and he maintained a posture for a long time, Su Shi didn't even react to the fact that the cigarette he just lit was about to burn.

He glanced back at Sheng Bin who was still sleeping on his bed, then frowned, took out his phone, and walked out of the room.

"Tianlan... I want to confirm one thing..."

Outside the door, Su Shi's voice was deliberately lowered.

But Sheng Bin opened his eyes, and the frown between his brows, which had never been relaxed, tightened even more.
