"What's wrong with this?"

Zhang Songying hurriedly came down from the office after hearing the report at the front desk.

Seeing some people standing at the door of the lounge, they ran over.

A security guard and a waiter were listening to what Li Xuewu's secretary Peng Xiaoli was explaining.

"Vice President Zhang——"

The security guards and waiters were the first to see her and were the first to say hello.

She nodded, but looked at Peng Xiaoli and the cracked lounge door.

"Deputy Director Li is here?"

"Wait a moment," Peng Xiaoli did not answer her question directly, not out of arrogance, but to save time.

He knocked lightly on the door, paused for three seconds, then opened the door and reported softly: "Vice President Zhang from the International Hotel is here."

"Ask her to come in—"

Li Xuewu's voice came from inside the room, and at Peng Xiaoli's signal, Zhang Songying walked into the lounge.

The situation was not very complicated. There were only two people in the room, Li Xuewu and Chantal, the president of the Sentaya Group.

Although President Chantal seemed to have just cried, his mood has been relatively stable.

"Leader, President Chantal——"

Zhang Songying glanced around, confirmed the situation in the room, and took the initiative to say hello to the two of them.

When she came down, she already understood some of the situation.

Coming in now is also to prepare for some situations.

For example, Chantal is a foreigner and a beautiful foreign woman.

The pear blossoms are crying with rain, and it is hard to explain what is coming.

"Mr. Han is having a meeting upstairs, do you need me to ask her to come down?"

"Is Comrade Qiancheng here?"

Li Xuewu was sitting on a single sofa, with his arms resting on the armrests and his right leg folded on his left leg, in a very relaxed state.

He looked at Zhang Songying and blinked slightly, with some signals in his eyes, which made his expression very clear in conjunction with his question.

Zhang Songying certainly had a tacit understanding with him in this regard. From the moment she came in, she was waiting for Li Xuewu's arrangements.

When he asked about it, he immediately replied: "Vice President Zhou has returned to the Foreign Embassy and said he has work."

"When he left, he told me to contact him again if anything happens."

She glanced sideways at Chantal and asked, "Boss, do you want me to call Vice President Zhou and ask him to come back?"

"When he comes back, the day lilies will be cold——"

Li Xuewu pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "On weekdays, I always hang out here to hide and relax, but when I use him, I don't see anyone."

"Really——"

He patted the armrest of the sofa gently, pointed in Chantal's direction and introduced: "Ms. Chantal is very worried about the situation at the Foreign Embassy."

"this……"

Zhang Songying is not sure whether Chantal can speak Chinese, or whether she can understand it.

Since Li Xuewu said these words with a defensive tone, she naturally had to know how to cooperate.

"I'm going to call him right now, but..."

Halfway through her words, she hesitantly reminded: "I heard it has affected a wide range of people. I'm not sure if the phone call can get through."

"Furthermore, from what Vice President Zhou said when he left, it seems that their unit is also very passive. At this moment..."

She stopped talking. Some of her words could not be said, some did not dare to say them, and some of them did not say them on purpose.

It was only when she introduced some situations at the foreign embassy that she could clearly feel Chantal's mood changes.

Sure enough, this French girl can understand Chinese.

Even if you can't speak or hear everything, you can still understand some of the meaning based on Zhang Songying's expressions and emotions.

"well--"

Li Xuewu glanced at Zhang Songying, gave her an approving look, but sighed: "How did things develop to this point?"

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

"Oh! It really shouldn't be done, it's so inappropriate -"

With this in his mouth, he explained to Chantal the conversation they had just had in French, and then said: "It's because some young people are so passionate that they don't have a sense of the overall situation or foreign affairs."

"This is more than just a misunderstanding -"

Chantal choked with sobs and said to Li Xuewu in a hoarse voice: "I am worried about the current foreign affairs environment in the mainland."

"After this incident, we need to re-evaluate the business environment in the mainland," she pursed her lips and said, "I no longer have the necessary confidence in cooperation here."

"If you have decided to postpone cooperation or even cancel cooperation," Li Xuewu took a deep breath and said, "I can only express regret for this."

"I personally regret and apologize for the difficult situation you and your family have experienced today."

He nodded slowly, paused, and then continued: "Let's not discuss whether what happened outside is right or wrong."

"Just talking about our positions."

Li Xuewu gestured with his hands to describe himself and the other party, and said: "There is a Chinese proverb used to describe the relationship between people, called the Four Irons."

"We shared the same window together, we carried guns together, we shared the stolen goods together, we did everything together..."

"What about that?"

Chantal, who was listening to him carefully, was stunned and asked: "What does that mean?"

"..."

Zhang Songying pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from laughing.

This common saying extended by the leader is really not suitable to be used in this kind of foreign affairs communication situation.

"That's what you French people like to do the most -"

Li Xuewu smiled meaningfully and continued: "I think there is a good side to what happened today."

"For example, you and me..."

"Let's do that together?"

Chantal didn't fully understand the meaning of Li Xuewu's words, so after hearing what he said, he asked.

"Ahem——"

Zhang Songying couldn't help it and coughed twice to hide her smile.

Seeing Li Xuewu looking over, she motioned to the door and said softly: "Well, leader, I'm going to call and ask now."

"Uh-huh--"

Li Xuewu nodded, he no longer needed assists.

Based on the situation analysis just now, I believe that I can definitely defeat this French girl by myself.

After Zhang Songying went out, he corrected himself: "I just want to use the relationship between the four irons to demonstrate the relationship between us."

"How can we prove our friendship if we don't go through hardships together?"

Having said this, he raised his hand in a meaningful way and said apologetically: "Of course, I did not reflect the meaning of your husband, Mr. Adrian."

Okay, these words made Chantal stunned. If it weren't for Li Xuewu's reminder, she might not have thought this way.

"We Chinese people's understanding of friendship and affection is that we can share weal and woe and help each other."

Li Xuewu tapped his fingers on his palm and said, "I'm lucky enough to be able to protect your safety today."

"I also cherish the hard-won friendship between us."

He said sincerely: "As a friend, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the safety of you and your career in the mainland."

"This is the respect and attitude that my unit and I have for you and this friendship."

"Of course I believe you -"

Chantal wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand, and took a long breath to relieve her inner anxiety.

Seeing the white flowers on the handkerchief, I remembered that he had handed them to me when I came in just now.

When I think of this, I will inevitably recall the moment when I was held in the other person's arms and protected as I walked into the building.

In her memory, in her impression, Li Xuewu always has the graceful demeanor of a mature man, and the character of a gentleman who protects the weak.

With these memories and impressions, and considering what he just said, I hesitated again due to fear in my heart.
