stand-in offense and defense

When Su Shi finished making the phone call, Sheng Bin had already woken up.

Sitting on the bed and supporting his forehead, with a face full of hangover pain, Su Shi conveniently found a towel in the bathroom, wet it and threw it to Sheng Bin: "Wipe your face, it looks like you've been ravaged by someone."

Sheng Bin wiped it carelessly, and sighed: "Let's urge the Palestine side again in the next two days."

"You've been quite impatient recently." You usually look unshakable.Su Shi leaned to the side and took a puff of the re-lit cigarette: "What made you change your strategy?"

"Lest you have long nights and dreams."

"It's all for this, is there any accident?"

Di Ruizhong's side basically can't change the overall situation, and the representatives of Palestine have obviously compromised.However, Sheng Bin didn't answer Su Shi's words, but just wiped his face again, got up and got ready to take a shower.

When passing by the man leaning on the side, the man stopped him: "Sheng Bin, do you have something to hide from me?"

He just paused, then shook his head.

Su Shi didn't bother him either, and let him go to take a shower. He also ordered room service and ordered two breakfasts.

After breakfast, Sheng Bin went back to the place where he lived, and Su Shi continued to work in the room. There was no obvious change in the attitude of the two of them. Even before Sheng Bin left, Su Shi said something to remind him to eat something at noon thing.

Then at around three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of Sheng Bin's office was kicked open by Su Shi unceremoniously.

A stack of documents was thrown directly onto his desktop: "Explain clearly."

Sheng Bin glanced at the document, his expression unchanged: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Shi smiled coldly: "At that time, why are you pretending to be confused with me? Don't tell me, you know about this later than me."

He received an anonymous email in the morning, reminding him that the official project that he had discussed with Sheng Bin before was cancelled. He asked Tianlan to check it out. As time went on, the burning became more and more intense, and now facing Sheng Bin, his eyes were basically glowing red.

Sheng Bin was not surprised or surprised by Su Shi's questioning of the teacher, he just frowned: "This is an internal document of the Ministry, and it's not time to notify you yet."

"Then when should I be notified?"

Su Shi deliberately put two words in the notice: "While asking me to sign the contract, at the same time withdrawing the previous bidding plan, Sheng Bin, I am not surprised that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is planning to make me take advantage of it, but you are not pretending to be dead." Whether you hear it or not, what exactly do you mean?"

When these words were spoken, Su Shi's heart felt as if a hundred awls had been poked hard into his chest, and his forehead throbbed with pain even when he twisted it.

The saddest thing is not that he was kept in the dark and turned into a fool, but that when he knew everything, he knew better than anyone else that Sheng Bin could definitely do this kind of thing.

But Sheng Bin didn't answer Su Shi's words, he just frowned and lowered his gaze, feeling that Su Shi was staring at him coldly, like looking at a stranger.

The momentary silence in the office spread like a crushing person. For a long time, even the sound of breathing could hardly be heard.

However, the patience of the Su style has not been very good.

Staring at Sheng Bin's half-slung profile but still unable to wait for an explanation, Su Shi gritted his teeth and snorted at last, mocking himself and shaking his head: "...Fuck! I've been so fucking blind for so many years !"

Throwing this sentence, he slammed the door and left.

Sheng Bin still maintained the posture just now and looked at the stack of documents on the desktop, his expression could not read any emotion, but his whole body was covered with an irritable aura.

Jiang Qun waited until Su Shi had walked for a while before swaying to the door, and took a look inside: "I thought...he would do it directly."

Based on his understanding of that person, those few words just now were really not enough.

Sheng Bin looked up at him, and it took a long time before he said: "I think so too."

From that day on, Sheng Bin did not contact Su Shi again.

Jiang Qun also tried to find it, but there was no news.The customs checked and said that the person did not leave the country, but the phone was turned off and the hotel never returned. Logically, nothing could happen to the Soviet style. If it disappears like this, it is nothing more than refusing to continue negotiating the so-called contract with Palestine. After all, what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is doing now is completely crossing the river and demolishing bridges for the Su Group.

The news was not kept secret for long.

After all, when Su Shi came to Sheng Bin, he had no intention of hiding from others. Within three days, the Palestinian Authority also knew that Su Shi's talks with Sheng Bin had collapsed.

Although I don't know the specific internal reasons, but the time for signing the contract has been pushed back and forth, and the rumors that have gathered around it can be speculated and guessed.

Sheng Bin lost one of the most important negotiating chips, and the situation where he had the upper hand was suddenly reversed.

Taking it for granted, Ba Fang began to actively meet Di Ruizhong.

Sheng Bin knew, but could do nothing about it.

He called back to China and inquired carefully about this matter, but he did not get a relatively satisfactory answer. It seemed that the project went smoothly when it was submitted, but it was withdrawn without knowing what went wrong when the next batch was submitted. The person in charge must go to check it. This delay is two or three days.

However, two or three days is enough to completely kick them out.

Compared with before, Di Ruizhong's attitude has also changed a lot. The originally difficult negotiating style made it impossible for Palestine to take any advantage. After several confrontations, the result was worse than anyone first expected. .

Sheng Bin asked Jiang Qun to do everything possible to find Su Shi, but he found nothing.

In the end, Di Ruizhong went directly to Sheng Bin.

"This time, we can always have a good talk." The same occasion, the same people, but this time, Di Ruizhong's attitude was a lot more arrogant, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he went straight to the point.

Sheng Bin raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to talk about?"

"Talk about this project, what are your plans."

"You should know that the person in charge of the negotiations was not me from the beginning to the end."

"I understand the situation very well." Di Ruizhong smiled: "I believe that you also understand very well."

Sheng Bin didn't speak, just took a sip of wine.

Di Ruizhong didn't mind his silence either: "...Actually, I have always had the sincerity to cooperate."

The man opposite him twitched his lips: "What do you mean by cooperation?"

"Since you have always been interested, why not consider joining forces."

"You can talk and listen."

"Your attitude... is the attitude of doing things." Di Ruizhong raised the wine glass in his hand, and his smile revealed a triumphant teasing under the light.Sheng Bin neither held the cup nor refused, and when Di Ruizhong talked eloquently, at most he interjected occasionally and asked simply, but did not express his opinion.

Basically, he is not used to being led around so passively.

It is not difficult to understand Di Ruizhong's thoughts. He still retains his position and does not hope that they will eventually pay all the investment for this project. For them, the key point is to participate in it rather than occupy a large proportion. Internationally In construction aid projects, the return of benefits is not something that can be seen on the table. This kind of trick is actually a common method in the United States, but this time it is cheap, it really seems to be picked for nothing.

"I can take your proposal back with you."

At the end of the talk, Sheng Bin gave a rather loose answer: "The specific reasons still need to be discussed with Su Shi."

"Su style?" Di Ruizhong smiled: "I heard that he hasn't seen anyone for several days."

"There are some things in his company. He went back to China temporarily and will come back the day after tomorrow."

"Oh?" The person on the opposite side smiled unabated.

Sheng Bin didn't respond positively to this obvious doubt. Anyway, for Di Ruizhong now, his attitude is not the point at all.However, it was obvious that the topic of Su Shi made the other party very interested, so he leaned forward and said, "How did you two get out that night?"

This provocative question made Sheng Bin want to get angry.

He was silent for a while, and took two sips of wine: "Su-style kicked the door open."

"Kick the door?"

Di Ruizhong obviously didn't expect this answer. He tilted his head and thought about it for a while, and then couldn't help laughing: "It's...it suits him..." He put down his wine glass: "After all these years, he still behaves like that. Crazy."

It was rare for this topic to cheer Sheng Bin up a bit: "How did you know each other in the first place?"

"It was his birthday, and his buddies held a party for him, so he took me to go with him, but he lost his temper, fought with his buddies, and finally dragged me to drink all night, and then we became acquainted. "Because the result of the talk was ideal, Di Ruizhong was very cooperative and knew everything.Thinking of Su Shi at that time, he was still a little dazed: "Later, I found out that he also has a twin brother, but the relationship is normal."

If the relationship is really good, the birthday on the same day does not need to be split into two.

Sheng Bin faintly recalled some details when he heard what Di Ruizhong said. He frowned and said nothing.

"Not long after we met, he made it clear. In fact, I also felt that something was wrong with him at the time, but I couldn't put it into words. I didn't understand something until I saw you. I remember one day when he was drunk The bar asked me to pick him up, and he scolded the madman all the way. When I woke up the next day, I asked him. He said that something happened to his friend and he was in the hospital. ...I guess at that time, he was also doing it for you, right?"

The only one who can make Su-style emotional ups and downs is probably Sheng Bin besides Su ye, and if it was Su ye, he would just say it was his brother.

Sheng Bin didn't confirm Di Ruizhong's guess, but just lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.

All night, Di Ruizhong was in a good mood, including parting ways with Sheng Bin in the end, and reminded him of the time when the two sides formally agreed to meet.

Therefore, when he received the news two days later that Su Shi had signed a formal contract with Palestine, he was completely stunned and didn't relax for a long time.
