However, the situation is different now. The knife is in the opponent's hand, and the tip of the knife is pointed at his heart.

As long as the other party gives me such a gentle push, I will be finished.

Therefore, no matter how much criticism he encountered from Li Xuewu, he would not dare to get up and leave.

He knew that as long as he left here, he would never be able to enter this office again.

Li Xuewu is not in a hurry. He has plenty of time and it will be quite a while before he gets off work.

After Peng Xiaoli served the other party tea, he refilled Li Xuewu's tea cup with hot water.

The room was extremely quiet at this moment. The three of them were all waiting for someone to bow their head first.

Peng Xiaoli never imagined how Gan Ru from the Secrecy Department had the courage to call out here, and even forced Li Xuewu to bow his head and negotiate peace.

In fact, Huo Ding could not imagine what Li Xuewu could rely on to be so sure that his side could not withstand his plan.

He has investigated all of Li Xuewu's social relationships, even Zhou Zhennan.

There are sufficient arguments to support that the other party has no direct relationship with Li Xuewu, and even Zhou Xiaobai is not a serious relationship.

Li Xuewu's father-in-law, Gu Haitao, is currently in a second-tier position. He does not lead a team, but serves as the vice principal of the college.

Huo Ding knew that Li Xuewu had a good relationship with the Ji family, but now that the Ji family has transferred their relationship to Hong Kong City, the influence of the mainland has dropped sharply.

The storms of the past few months have long since blown away these fictitious and real relationships.

All that's left is his relationship with classmates and a little teacher-student relationship with Gong'an.

Then what confidence does he have to dare to challenge his own side?

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it without letting the other person know, took a puff, and looked at the documents on the table.

This attitude completely disrupted the deadlock in the room.

"What do you want?"

Huo Ding leaned his elbows on the desk, stared at Li Xuewu and asked: "Is the tip of the needle against the grain of wheat? The fish will die and the net will break?"

"Thank you"

Li Xuewu raised his head, looked at Huo Ding and said flatly: "There is no use of the idiom of hitting a stone with an egg."

Huo Ding was speechless. He choked on Li Xuewu's words and his lungs hurt. He could only grit his teeth and hold on.

"We can talk, there's really no need to get to the point of getting out of hand..."

"Forget it, actually you know that there is nothing to talk about."

Li Xuewu signed his name on the document, put it aside, looked at Huo Ding and said: "You and I both know that there is no need to talk about this matter."

"As for the situation you mentioned, in my opinion, it is just a delaying measure to take a breather overnight."

"But you don't think I'm stupid, do you?"

Li Xuewu pointed at the document and said, "Do you think I will give you a chance to make a comeback?"

After saying that, he stood up with his hand on the document and told Peng Xiaoli: "Contact the Third Wei Regiment for me and ask the work team to report the work progress to me every day."

"I want to see how many dirty things this secret department has hidden, which makes Director Huo so nervous that he condescends to come to my small temple to worship the Buddha's feet."

Holding: "You...!"

------------------

"Why did you send me such a thing?"

Han Shu looked at the two people who carried the big box into the house in surprise, and then looked at Li Xuewu in confusion.

When the secretary and the driver removed the packing box and exposed the refrigerator inside, she realized what Li Xuewu had done.

"It's a gift from a foreign businessman. I don't need it at home, so I'll give it to you."

Li Xuewu smiled and touched the head of Dong Mengyuan, who ran over and hugged him.

Dong Mengyuan really misses his senior brother. He hasn't been here for a long time.

Hearing the noise of the car, I thought my father was back and hurried out, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was my senior brother I hadn't seen for a long time.

He looked at the big square thing in the kitchen with some curiosity, wondering what it was for.

Han Shu blamed Li Xuewudao with some embarrassment: "We two can use it, so take it home quickly!"

As he spoke, he waved to the secretary and driver he brought to reload.

"Your family has a large population. If you don't want to use it yourself, you can send it to your parents' house. What's the point of sending it to me? If the literature knows about it, it will be yours."

"We don't need it at home. My mother can't even light the lights, let alone the refrigerator."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Just leave it here for you. I will move it when I want to use it."

After speaking, he signaled to Han Jiankun and Peng Xiaoli to go out and leave.

Han Shu knew he couldn't defeat him, so he took the initiative to let them have dinner here.

Dong Wenxue was not at home, so why would Li Xuewu stay here with his secretary and driver? He teased his younger brother for a few words and then went out.

Han Shu told his son to wait in the room, and he hurriedly put on his coat and sent Li Xuewu and the others away.

At the gate, she still complained to Li Xuewu a few words, and informed him that the cooperation with the steel rolling mill was about to be completed, and told Li Xuewu not to worry.

From what she learned, there will be changes in the management of the Iron and Steel Institute, and Pei Dayu is likely to take over.

Li Xuewu was really a little surprised. The last time Pei Dayu came to him to talk about cooperation in running a school, nothing came of it.

After procrastinating for so long, he would have thought he was a loser, if it weren't for the teachers arranged by the Iron and Steel Academy who often came to give him tutoring.

Unexpectedly, Pei Dayu really had two brushes in his hands, and he could still make progress during this period.

It can only be said that times have created situations, but some people can just adapt to the situation and live like a fish in water.

On the way back, Peng Xiaoli didn't want Li Xuewu to worry about the confidentiality department anymore, so the topic didn't turn to work.

Just talking about the refrigerator delivered tonight and the electrical appliances picked up by the other two leading drivers, the topic of kid smacking came up.

"Leader, please tell me"

Peng Xiaoli asked curiously: "What is our relationship and status with Xiaoguizai? Why did we suddenly give these things?"

“Is giving things necessarily related to relationships?”

Li Xuewu asked a question, and without waiting for an answer, he continued: "It's a good intention to send you something, there's no point in thinking too much about it."

"Also, haven't you been reading a book on international relations recently? Why don't you ask me this kind of question?"

"I just can't figure it out~"

Peng Xiaoli smiled sheepishly, and then said seriously: "The hatred of the country and the family, how long has it passed, and there are still people in the factory saying, why did we start cooperation now?"

"We are cooperating on the economy, and it has nothing to do with hatred between the country and the family."

Li Xuewu corrected him and said: "I can carry out trade and economic exchanges with them, but it does not stop me from hating that country and the people there."

"However, when looking at the relationship between the two sides from the perspective of economic and trade cooperation, I still have to be fair."

He looked at Peng Xiaoli, the co-pilot, and said: "Japanese businessmen are currently more ambitious than other countries in doing trade."

"for example……?"

Peng Xiaoli opened his eyes. He didn't understand what the courage in Li Xuewu's words meant.

Li Xuewu raised his head slightly, smiled and said: "Of course I don't have the courage to give away these household appliances."

"You should know how serious the external restrictions and isolation are on us now. Isolation is not only reflected in foreign affairs, but also in economic cooperation."

"but!"

He nodded and Peng Xiaoli said: "You have to see the positive attitude shown by Japanese businessmen during the cooperation. At least they are willing to come up with real things."

"You mean...those machines?"

Peng Xiaoli frowned and thought. He thought of what Li Xuewu said, and also thought of the industrial equipment that had recently arrived at Yingcheng Port Terminal one after another.

But Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "Mechanical equipment can be bought no matter how difficult it is, but technology cannot be bought easily."

Seeing that his eyes were confused, he explained carefully: "You can look at mechanical equipment, you can learn it, and you can even explore it, but the technical barriers are like mathematics. If you don't know it, you just don't know it, and you can't figure it out."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and asked: "If you have a technology that can make a lot of money, would you be willing to share it selflessly with others?"

"Of course...no"

Peng Xiaoli knew that his answer was not important to the leader's question, but what was important was the words that followed.

Seeing that he already knew what he wanted to say, Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said: "The technologies we lack most now are all in a state of blockade. Actual problems cannot be solved by reckless actions."

"I understand"

Peng Xiaoli nodded and said: "When you were designing the cooperation plan, you were actually trading time for technology, right?"

"Hehehe~"

Li Xuewu glanced at him with a chuckle, but did not answer the question. Instead, he looked out the window and said quietly: "Sooner or later, you will understand the true meaning of economic cooperation."

He did not intend to praise Xiao Guixia's generosity, but in the process of trade and production cooperation, the other party bravely broke through certain blockades.
