"What is this?"

"sea urchin"

"What about this?"

"Sea cucumber"

"Then...what about this?"

"abalone"

Li Xuewu was answering Zhou Xiaobai's questions one by one. Before he could speak to the last one, Ji Weidong on the other side spoke.

The answer is correct, but what do you mean by winking!

Zhou Xiaobai didn't understand the deeper meaning of his words, but seeing that Brother Wu's expression was wrong, he also looked at him blankly.

Ji Weidong was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Li Xuewu. He scratched his face in embarrassment and pushed the crab towards Zhou Xiaobai.

"Try the crabs. It's not in season, so I'll make do with it. It tastes good."

"Oh, thank you"

Zhou Xiaobai actually didn't like him at all. He was a weird person, giving people the impression that he was pretending to be unfulfilled and that he still had unfulfilled intentions.

She picked up a piece of crab, looked at Li Xuewu, and ate it in small bites.

Li Xuewu moved his eyes away from Ji Weidong's face and looked at the meal on the table.

Zhang Changming has put in a lot of effort. Not only is the material well prepared, but the craftsmanship of the master is also top-notch.

Not to mention abalone, sea urchin, sea cucumber, and sea sausage, there are also shelled prawns, crabs, and shellfish, as well as specialty large yellow croaker, mackerel, and sand fish. We also make special and delicious dishes.

.

There was half a big lobster in front of everyone, with half of their body exposed with teeth and claws.

When it comes to food, Li Xuewu said that he has a rich menu that may not be matched by anyone, but when it comes to rich seafood resources, Zhang Changming has to be mentioned at this table.

He would eat whatever was expensive or cheap on the table, as long as it didn't appear on the inventory list.

In fact, he had long been tired of eating. From the beginning of the banquet to now, he only ate a few bites of green vegetables and drank all the time.

Everyone was freezing outside just now, so we went into the cabin and poured hot water one by one.

Some also imitated Li Xuewu and Zhang Changming and drank glass after glass of foreign wine.

Don't stop until fine hairs of sweat appear on your forehead. This is a sign of cold air.

The large restaurant accommodates rich and well-off people like them, and according to the matching of seats, everyone's chopsticks can reach all the dishes.

This has to be said about the advantage of having service staff to help. Just relying on the few fish they caught, they can only have a wishful thinking if they want to have a big meal.

But Zhang Changming was in a beautiful mood today, so everyone at the dinner table was eating happily, and he was also honored.

"Miss Xiaobai, Miss Xiaoyun, eat more sea cucumbers, it's a good thing for beauty."

When he saw Li Xuewu picking up food for the two girls, he smiled and said hello.

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun raised their heads and glanced at Li Xuewu, then both looked at Zhang Changming and thanked them: "Thank you, Brother Zhang~"

"Hey! Okay, okay!"

Zhang Changming was elated by the two people's greetings. He said hello repeatedly and waved his hand for them to eat as they pleased.

Then he picked up the wine glass, motioned to everyone and said: "Today Xuewu and I are singing on the stage. I am lucky enough to invite all my good friends. It is really rare and happy. Let's have a drink."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your hospitality."

Bao Peigang had contact with Zhang Changming in the morning. The two had a very pleasant conversation, and there was a hint of intimacy in their politeness.

After taking the initiative to clink glasses with him, Zhang Changming smiled and saluted Xue Zhifu again.

After all, he is the leader of the steel rolling mill and was brought here by Li Xuewu. He is obviously close to him and he knows how to handle relationships appropriately.

The project they are cooperating on will inevitably have to deal with the steel rolling mill in the future, so it will be good for him to have multiple connections.

Xue Zhifu has always been very easy-going since he got on the ship. He even jokes casually and has no leadership airs at all.

He knew very well that since Li Xuewu called him and organized this trip together, there must be a sense of unity and closeness.

What can be imagined is that Li Huaide must be very aware of this trip and the deeper meaning.

Of course, it is not just entertaining the British businessman Parker and discussing cooperation in the automobile industry, but also a progressive relationship management.

Li Xuewu invited so many people, and they even had connections with the ministry. What kind of connection did they have with him?

Therefore, when Zhang Changming offered him wine, he smiled and drank with everyone.

"Hey, our wine must be good enough."

Liu Shaozong smiled and praised: "It's much better than that foreign wine. I just like the taste of Fenjiu."

"I can't get used to that foreign wine either. It's a bit astringent and tastes weird."

Zhou Gancheng said very little today, but now that he was on the table, he no longer pretended to be serious.

He held a glass of wine and had sex with Liu Shaozong again. It was obvious that he really liked liquor.

Gao Yaqin sat across from the two of them and watched them drinking happily. She couldn't help but glance at them, then raised her glass and touched it with Li Xuewu.

"Thank you for the hospitality, which gave me the opportunity to broaden my horizons. I have never drank foreign wine."

"You are joking, I also borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."

Li Xuewu smiled and took a sip, and then said to Gao Yaqin: "If you like it, I will ask a friend to bring some for you."

"It can't be him, right?"

Gao Yaqin smiled and pointed to Ji Weidong who was drying lobsters and asked: "Bring it back from the port city for me?"

"Hey, you think so highly of me, but I don't have this ability!"

Ji Weidong smiled and bared his teeth, glanced at Li Xuewu, and explained to Gao Yaqin: "It's inconvenient for me to go back and forth. There are two boxes of puzzles, and I can't carry more."

As he spoke, he signaled Li Xuewu to Gao Yaqin and said: "Director Li has great supernatural powers. He can bring you a boat if you want."

"I can drink it to death!"

Gao Yaqin covered her mouth with a smile, and then looked at Li Xuewu with something strange in her eyes.

Liu Shaozong and Zhou Gancheng, who were sitting opposite, also put down their wine glasses and looked here.

Li Xuewu took out the lobster meat and divided it into two halves, one portion each for Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun.

After receiving tender thanks from the two of them, he nodded indifferently and signaled them to eat more because he didn't like it.

Then he looked at Gao Yaqin and explained: "Dongfeng Shipping, a local enterprise in Steel City, was contacted by the steel rolling mill when it acquired Yingcheng Shipyard."

When he acquired the 27 cargo ships, Li Xuewu never thought of putting these assets under the name of the recycling station.

On the one hand, it is inconvenient to cooperate with the investigation department, and on the other hand, enterprises in Steel City have more advantages in activities.

In particular, these cargo ships originally gathered and dispersed at the Gangcheng Pier. To outsiders, it was normal for them to appear here.

Even if someone comes to check Li Xuewu, he is not afraid, because the old Biaozi is still holding the same unit that Guandong once ran.

The dove occupied the magpie's nest, Guandong was dead, and everything in this unit was under Li Xuewu's control.

The difference is that Dongfeng Shipping is engaged in serious shipping business and there is no subjective trade.

The categories of these projects undertaken by Li Xuewu are clearly distinguished. Trade is trade, and transportation is transportation. Don't mix them together, as it is easy to make mistakes.

"Director Li is truly a man of great powers."

Gao Yaqin smiled and praised: "If there is any need, I will definitely ask you for help."

"What would I be if I didn't curse like you?"

Li Xuewu smiled and toasted her with a glass of wine. After drinking, he explained: "There are basically only two routes for cargo transportation in steel plants, shipping and railway."

"The business relationship is relatively close. They take over the business of Jinmen Port Terminal and specialize in the port city line."

He pointed at Ji Weidong and said: "Weidong's business is also related to this shipping company, and we are all friends in cooperation."

"Yes, that's right, friend"

Ji Weidong smiled and nodded, confirming Li Xuewu's explanation, and specially toasted the three of them with a glass of wine and said, "If you need anything, just talk to me."

If Gao Yaqin's politeness just now contained a bit of ridicule and reminder, then Ji Weidong's politeness contained deliberateness and attitude.

Clearly tell the other party that this shipping company is not only a customer of the steel mill, but also a related party.

The investigation department personally recognized the unit. It was very clear without any explanation. The background may not be very strong.

The three of them looked at each other and had a drink with Ji Weidong, smiling without mentioning the matter again.

If you really could ask two people to carry something along the way, they wouldn't say anything like that.

On the one hand, things outside are not cheap, and even with their wages, they cannot afford them.

Secondly, the relationship between the two parties does not trust each other enough to handle private matters.

Of course, they also knew that being able to participate in this trip was because Li Xuewu deliberately stayed in the circle of the business department.
