Chapter 7 Chapter VII

"I understand! But if you say something in advance, we'll have to think about the excuse first. We can't always say that you're not feeling well, and people think you have a health problem!" Zhu Mingming suddenly became angry. Li Weilian looked at her: "Maybe I have a health problem?" He said lightly, the sun just shone on his face, and the blue color under his eyes was faintly visible.This is the seal of indulgence, which is slowly corroding from the inside of the body to the outside. Zhu Mingming exclaimed in a low voice: "William!" "Just kidding." He smiled jokingly, but she wanted to kill someone.

Li Weilian sat down lazily: "But what you said is also reasonable, how about it... Let me give you a suggestion. In the future, you should think of more backup reasons. Whenever you encounter a situation like today, you and Lisa Just randomly select one of them to use, communicate with each other frequently, and minimize repetition." Now it was Zhu Mingming standing in front of him, staring at him dumbfounded.Li Weilian would always be in a momentary state of excitement after doing "private affairs". This kind of vain joy did not match his usual temperament, and seemed fragile and ridiculous.

"Maggie, I have always admired your innovative spirit, so please make good use of it." "Hmph." Zhu Mingming answered with his nose. Although they can discuss his privacy tacitly like close friends, after she has finished talking, she must return to the status of a subordinate and faithfully carry out his will, no matter what kind of torment she suffers in her heart. "Okay, I'll go see poor Richard." Li Wei got up and left. "William, do you want to bring you a cup of coffee?" Zhu Mingming chased after him and asked. "No thanks."

Li Wei turned around the corridor without even looking back, the small meeting room was at the end of the corridor.He reached out and twisted the doorknob, and stepped in. "Who?!" Zhang Naichi, who was sitting in front of the window, jumped up when he heard the sound, and flinched back in panic, like a hamster suddenly exposed to the light. "It's me." Li Weilian closed the door and frowned, "I heard you came here, so I thought you'd slowed down. Why are you still in this state—as if you're a concubine!" Zhang Naichi looked at him in a daze: "Like a concubine?... My concubine has long been lost, and it's not like you don't know."

These words had a wonderful effect, and the cloud on Li Weilian's face slightly dissipated: "Have you not lost your sense of humor yet? Very good, this shows that your mental state is recovering... Sit down." He pulled up a chair himself and sat down. Zhang Naichi let out a long breath, and sat down back in the chair: "Oh, recovery! I've been having nightmares every night for the past two days, and when I close my eyes, I see that dead face of Kosuke Yukawa, it's just, it's just too scary !" "Since you have done it, don't be afraid." "But, but I'm afraid of ghosts..."

"Ghosts?" Li Wei even leaned back in his chair, "People are not afraid, but ghosts. Why do you regress the more you live!" Looking at Zhang Naichi's haggard face, he said with disdain: "Of course, You Chuan's death is indeed a bit tragic, and the determination of the Japanese to commit suicide is impressive... But, isn't this what you dreamed of?" The warm gaze just now returned to coldness, and Li Weilian leaned forward, as if he was interrogating the prisoner: "Richard, did you do something without telling me? I mean—an unplanned action."

Zhang Naichi trembled all over, avoiding Li Weilian's gaze: "I...no...I don't..." "Nothing!" Once Li Weilian gets angry, the hairs of the people around him will immediately stand on end, because his anger erupts like a volcano after it has been simmering. His anger is never without a reason, and it must have a beginning and an end. "If you didn't do anything in private, how could Yaukawa Kosuke point the finger at you?! Our plan is very hidden. It stands to reason that even if he died, he would not be able to guess who was doing him. On the day of the annual meeting, he obviously came to you He who asked for help, what did you say to him? It made him decide to beg for death, and to harm you in such a vicious way?!"

"I..." Zhang Naichi shrank into a ball in the leather chair, "I, how do I know that in his mind..." "I don't care about his brain! What I care about is 'Yiyuan'!" Li Weilian sped up his speech, which showed that he was already burning with anger, "Such a horrific tragedy happened on the night of the annual meeting, and the invited guests were frightened , the image of West Bund Chemicals has been damaged... that's all for nothing! But what about the unreasonable damage to the reputation of 'Yiyuan'? How to make up for it? Uh? How much will it cost to restore the use of 'Yiyuan' to work in Greater China in the future? Mind to eliminate people's worries? And this is the result of your quickness!"

Li Weilian's voice was not high, but it reverberated in Zhang Naichi's ears. Just when he was tossed and lost, two words rushed into his ears - "Forget it!" Zhang Naichi stared at Li Weilian tongue-tiedly, and heard him frowned and said again: "Forget it, I still need to deal with the aftermath after a long time. Let me tell you, this kind of butt wiping is the last time, don't do it again Find me!" Zhang Naichi raised his hand involuntarily, and wiped the imaginary beads of sweat on his forehead.In fact, he was not as in awe of Li Weilian as he had shown. He was too familiar with Li Weilian's character and behavior patterns, and he knew that Li Weilian had the tolerance of a strong man, and he was especially used to standing up at the most critical moment.

Therefore, to a certain extent, showing weakness is Zhang Naichi and Li Weilian's strategy when they get along. "Richard, have you got any news?" After losing his temper, Li Weilian returned to his usual calm demeanor. "information?" "Yes, Zhongsheng Petrochemical should know what happened to Kosuke Yukawa, right?" Zhang Naichi swallowed his saliva: "Well, I was just about to tell you—the call from Zhongsheng Petrochemical said that the customs issued an inspection form, which clearly pointed out that the goods of Ito Co., Ltd. were of inferior quality and did not match the specifications stated in the bill of lading. Therefore, Zhongsheng Petrochemical has formally notified Ito in writing that it has decided to return the batch of low-density polyethylene particles and lodge a further claim.”

"Oh?" Li Weilian's eyes froze, and he repeated thoughtfully, "The customs found out, it's really timely..." "Yes." Zhang Naichi said eagerly, "Didn't we discuss it originally? After You Chuan delivered the goods to Pudong Port, I will greet the relationship between Zhongsheng Petrochemical and tell them the truth so that they can make the right decision." But, the night before yesterday, when Kosuke Yukawa suddenly came, I, I just..." "You've lost your mind, you've lost your mind!" Li Weilian interrupted Zhang Naichi, and he started to get angry again, "As a result, you completely forgot about notifying Zhongsheng Petrochemical, right? And what if the customs didn't find out the problem this time?" , really issue a qualified inspection report to Zhongsheng Petrochemical, this plan is going to have side effects!" Zhang Naichi couldn't help but argue: "I really didn't expect You Chuan's reaction to be so violent. Besides, you didn't tell me in advance that you would report it to the General Administration of Customs directly! Zhongsheng Petrochemical was very upset by the trouble, call me It's hard to say..." "Hmph, didn't you cause this situation all by yourself? Blame yourself if you want to blame, don't always shirk responsibility everywhere when something goes wrong!" Zhang Naichi was so reprimanded that his face turned red, and he lowered his head quite resentfully. "But... no one from my place will report it to the General Administration of Customs." Li Weilian said thoughtfully, "It's strange, is there anyone else who knows about the problem with this batch of goods? Is it possible?" Zhang Naichi muttered in a low voice: "Why do you need to hide things now? I understand what you want to do..." "What did you say I want to do?!" Li Weilian asked sharply, "Don't forget! You asked me for help from the beginning of this matter. We discussed the whole plan together. During the process, we each performed our duties. Plan to act, but what about you? You ruined a good annual meeting! You should find out more about your own problems!" Zhang Naichi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Li Weilian was silent for a moment, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Think about it, even if someone here wants to remind the Customs to be careful about this batch of goods, it must be to the Shanghai Customs. Why report it to the General Administration of Customs? This is not for Shanghai Customs embarrassment? Shanghai Customs has been with West Bund Chemical for many years. Who would do such a thing that hurts others? As for Zhongsheng Petrochemical, after the accident in Youchuan, I informed my contact person. Maintenance, this is a long-established rule. You can't just watch the whole plan be frustrated because of your mistakes. However, the General Administration of Customs did appear unexpectedly, which is very strange. Could it be that the General Administration intends to investigate Shanghai Customs? Borrowing a topic, but just happened to come across this batch of goods?... But this possibility is too low, it is unbelievable, is there really such a coincidence in the world?" After thinking about it, Li Weilian stopped talking, took out a cigar from the cigar case on the table, cut it open and smoked. Zhang Naichi raised his head again, with erratic eyes: "William, Zhongsheng Petrochemical reminded me that the products from Ito Co., Ltd. must not be used, but the Ministry of Agriculture needs plastic sheds very urgently. Now Zhongsheng Petrochemical Although it has avoided being cheated, if the raw materials cannot be provided on time, the consequences will be as serious, or even more fatal! Another cold wave will come soon, and the plastic particles will not be handed over by then. Not only Zhongsheng Petrochemical will not be able to explain to the Ministry of Agriculture, but the Ministry of Agriculture It is impossible to explain to the central government.” "Well," Li Weilian exhaled a big smoke circle, looking forward, "What do you think?" Zhang Naichi held the armrest of the chair convulsively, leaned forward, and said urgently: "I think—we, West Bund Chemical, can take over this business, and immediately sign a replacement contract with Zhongsheng Petrochemical, and we will purchase products that meet the specifications in the international market. The low-density polyethylene particles will be delivered to the Ministry of Agriculture of China as soon as possible." Li Weilian unhurriedly blew out another smoke ring, and asked plainly: "What about the price? At that time, the price quoted by You Chuan was relatively the lowest, so we could win this order. It is absolutely impossible for us to achieve this price." of." "The price is not a problem. I have already hinted at Zhongsheng Petrochemical. This time we are purely helping out in emergencies. It is reasonable to increase the price. Besides, Zhongsheng Petrochemical is already on fire. The Ministry of Agriculture is staring at the back every day. They don't have time I'm entangled with the price with my energy." Zhang Naichi became more and more excited as he spoke, and his gray face became brighter. "Well, it sounds interesting. However, what is your so-called price increase?" Li Weilian still asked unhurriedly. Zhang Naichi's eyebrows twitched slightly: "The price can be discussed in detail, am I negotiating with you? Anyway, I am sure this time, you just need to authorize me." "Richard, you are the Director of Plastics Business in Greater China. You don't need my authorization to make this order. Since you are so confident, go ahead and do it. I wish you success." Li Weilian snuffed out his cigar and calmed down He stood up and walked towards the door.Zhang Naichi looked at his back expressionlessly, but his eyebrows jumped even more urgently.
