Shentu Tianyin praised Xia Lei, and Gu Kewu followed suit. He took a business card, held it in both hands and handed it to Xia Lei, "Mr. Xia, this is my business card. It has my phone number on it. Make an appointment with me when you are free. Drink tea. Well, you can also contact me for business matters. I am willing to cooperate with an outstanding entrepreneur like you."
"Thank you." Xia Lei also stood up and took Gu Kewu's business card with both hands. But he knew that this was just a show by Gu Kewu in front of Shentu Tianyin.
Gu Kewu would never be his friend, not for anything else but because he killed Huang Yihu, a loyal hound of the Gu family.
However, Gu Kewu handed over the business card in a personable manner. If Xia Lei refused to accept it with a straight face, it would be because he had lost his grace.
Taking Gu Kewu's business card, Xia Lei saw Gu Kewu's title on the business card - Vice Chairman of the Northern Group.
“Mr. I want to talk to you about Ningyuan Mountain."
With this sentence, many thoughts suddenly flashed through Xia Lei's mind.
"As you know, our Wanxiang Group signed a wind power project with Dongfang Heavy Industry, and Dongfang Heavy Industry provided us with equipment. But now Ning Yuanshan has been arrested, and Dongfang Heavy Industry is now leaderless, and we are all affected. We are waiting for the end A batch of equipment, but something like this happened, Dongfang Heavy Industries has been unable to deliver it to us on time. I am worried about this matter, you are an expert in this field, can you give me a suggestion?" Shentu Tianyin looked at it Xia Lei, with a little expectation in his eyes.
Ning Yuanshan was arrested, and Xia Lei was also present. He even beat Ren Wenqiang until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. With Shentu Tianyin's ability, wouldn't she know about such a thing? Although Shentu Tianyin didn't say that Ning Yuanshan's arrest was related to him, he knew that she knew some of the truth, but she just didn't reveal it.
Xia Lei thought for a while and then said: "Miss Shentu, I don't know the specific situation and I dare not give you any advice. If possible, you can give me a more detailed explanation. In this case, I may be able to give you a suggestion. "
Shentu Tianyin was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's make an appointment tomorrow."
Xia Lei smiled and agreed.
Gu Kewen let out a contemptuous snort from his nostrils, "Sister Tianyin, Wanxiang Group has so many talents, do you really need Mr. Xia's advice?"
Shentu Tianyin said: "You say this because you don't know Mr. Xia well. He is the best expert in the country. Although our Wanxiang Group has many talents, the talents in this field are not as good as Mr. Xia's." Yes. I'm asking Mr. Xia for advice, is there anything wrong with that?"
Gu Kewen repeatedly targeted Shentu Tianyin, and Shentu Tianyin was already unhappy, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone of voice.
Gu Kewen wanted to say something else, but Gu Kewu glared at her, and she shut her mouth.
Gu Kewu said with a smile: "So it is really an honor for me to meet Mr. Xia. We will have a few drinks later."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, you are too polite. I am the one who feels honored."
Shentu Tianyin said calmly: "You don't have to be polite."
At this time, a fat man came to the table with a blond foreigner. The man was in his early fifties, wearing a loose suit and had a friendly smile on his face. The blond foreigner standing next to him is tall and looks very healthy.
"Second uncle, you are here, sit down." Shentu Tianyin said.
"Uncle Yi, please sit down quickly." Gu Kewu and Gu Kewen also said hello.
"Kewu, Kewen, we are all old acquaintances, you don't have to be polite." The man said with a smile, looking very casual.
Xia Lei, however, couldn't say hello since it was the first time they met. But after hearing Shentu Tianyin's title, he also guessed the man's name, Shentu Yi.
Sure enough, Shentu Tianyin then introduced Xia Lei: "Mr. Xia, this is my second uncle, Shen Tuyi."
When someone introduced him, Xia Lei stood up, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Shentu, my name is Xia Lei. Nice to meet you."
"Xia Lei?" Shen Tuyi only said these two words and shook hands with Xia Lei symbolically.
Xia Lei sat down awkwardly. He saw the contemptuous smile on Gu Kewen's lips. She seemed happy to see him looked down upon. Gu Kewu was very calm, with a faint smile always on his lips, looking very elegant and graceful.
Xia Lei secretly said in his heart: "Compared to Gu Kewu, Gu Kewen is still a little too young."
Shen Tuyi said: "Tianyin, let me introduce to you. This is the electrical engineer I hired from Germany, Mr. Conrad. He can help us solve the problems we are currently encountering."
"Hello Ni, Miss Tianji, I'm glad you met Ni." The German named Conrad took the initiative to extend his hand to Shentu Tianyin, looking very graceful.
Shentu Tianyin was stunned for a moment before standing up from his seat and shaking hands with Conrad, "Hello, Mr. Conrad."
"Mr. Conrad, please sit down." Shen Tuyi pulled out a chair for Conrad.
"Sheshe." Conrad's Chinese is terrible.
Shen Tuyi and Conrad took their seats. Xia Lei's eyes moved to Conrad and he couldn't help but guess: "What problem did Shen Tuyi invite an electrical engineer from Germany to solve? Just now Shentu Tianyin asked me to meet tomorrow. You also said you wanted me to give you some advice, is it the same thing?"
Xia Lei's eyes quietly moved to Shentu Tianyin's face. He saw her eyebrows frowning slightly, as if she was a little unhappy.
Conrad suddenly said something in German, "ihrenichtescheintnichtglucklich."
What he said was "Your niece seems unhappy."
Shen Tuyi delayed for a moment before nodding.
Xia Lei's eyes moved to Shen Tuyi, and he soon discovered that there was a miniature receiver smaller than a button plugged into Shen Tuyi's ear. His left eye twitched slightly, and then he saw an electronic device in his suit pocket. His heart moved, "This Shen Tuyi is so strange. He brought a German electrical engineer to the banquet, but he also brought equipment used by spies and agents, and someone translated for him in time. What the hell is he doing?"
"What did he say?" Shentu Tianyin seemed to have noticed that Conrad was talking about her, and she said somewhat displeasedly.
Shen Tuyi shook his head, "Tianyin, you don't know what culture your second uncle and I are from. I don't understand German."
Gu Kewu said: "I don't understand German either. German is relatively niche and I have never thought about learning it."
Xia Lei felt more and more that something was wrong, "Obviously someone was translating for Shen Tuyi in time. He could understand Conrad's words, but he said he didn't know. If it was something unpleasant, it would be understandable for him to refuse to translate. , but Conrad just said a very normal thing, why didn't he translate it?"
Conrad smiled and said in blunt Chinese: "Hungry, the mud is so beautiful."
A faint smile appeared on Shentu Tianyin's lips, but her eyes moved to Xia Lei.
Does she know I can speak German? Such a thought flashed through Xia Lei's mind. It was easy for him to expose Conrad's lies. He only needed to translate Conrad's original words, but he thought about it and did not do so.
Shentu Tianyin said: "Second uncle, you hired electrical engineers from Germany without consulting me?"
Shen Tuyi said: "Tianyin, you are so busy, I can't bear to see you working so hard, so I took it upon myself to ask Mr. Conrad to help. I am doing this for our Wanxiang Group, you won't blame me, right?"
Shentu Tianyin said: "No, but you must tell me first next time." This sentence was full of majesty.
Shen Tuyi smiled awkwardly, "I will."
At this time, Gu Kewen said: "Sister Tianyin, my uncle has hired electrical engineers from Germany. The problems you encountered will definitely be solved. I think there is no need to hire any more domestic experts, right?"
Although he was named, Xia Lei knew that Gu Kewen's so-called "domestic expert" was referring to him. From the time he came here until now, this Gu Kewen has never missed an opportunity to ridicule him.
Shentu Tianyin remained silent, but Gu Kewen's words caught Shentu Yi's attention. He glanced at Xia Lei, and his face suddenly darkened, "Are you here to help us solve the problem too?"
Xia Lei said: "I don't know what problem you have encountered, but I have promised Miss Shentu that I will give you a suggestion after understanding it."
Shen Tuyi sneered, "You are so young, what kind of expert are you?"
Xia Lei frowned slightly, "Is this related to age?"
Shen Tuyi said aggressively: "Now the domestic manufacturing industry is in a sluggish state, and the academic community is also practicing fraud. The whole environment is very impetuous. Some guys who have just graduated from college dare to pretend to be experts without knowing the truth. Aren't they afraid of making jokes?"
"Graduate from college?" Gu Kewen chuckled and said, "Uncle Yi, Mr. Xia graduated from high school and is self-taught. He is much better than those college students."
"High school students?" Shen Tuyi suddenly smiled, "Tianyin, why do you ask high school students to solve problems?"
Xia Lei stood up and said, "Miss Shentu, I'm sorry, it seems I can't give you any advice. Thank you for inviting me to sit here, but I think it's more comfortable for me to sit in my original seat."
Shentu Tianyin said, "Sit down." Then she pointed at Shentu Yi and said, "Get out."
Shen Tuyi's smile suddenly froze on his face.
Brother and sister Gu Kewu and Gu Kewen also looked surprised.
Shentu Tianyin actually asked her second uncle to leave without giving him any face! Not only the Gu brothers and sisters couldn't believe such a thing, but even Shen Tuyi himself couldn't believe it.
"Tianyin, I..." Shen Tuyi came back to his senses, his face flushed and he couldn't help it.
Shentu Tianyin said calmly: "Do you want me to say it a second time? Get out."
Shen Tuyi stood up with a bang, glanced at Xia Lei hatefully, then turned around and left.
"Hold the line." Conrad also stood up and left.
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment and wanted to leave. Shentu Tianyin even drove away her second uncle in order to keep him. How could he not appreciate such a generous person? He glanced at Shentu Tianyin and sat down again. However, he really wanted to kick Gu Kewen in the face.
"Dear guests, on behalf of the Haizhu Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, I would like to express my gratitude for your presence. After the dinner, we will enter the venue for a symposium. Please speak freely and make suggestions for revitalizing the real economy of our Haizhu City..." Hu Hou's voice rang out in the hall.
The dinner began.
Xia Lei didn't have any appetite.
