Chapter 62: Reunion of Old Friends

  Looking for Sanjiang tickets again!!! sjg./ Everyone! Help!!!

  The inquiry lasted for nearly three hours, during which Liang Sanping's brain was highly tense. For the questions raised by several people, he answered carefully and cautiously. Even some questions were only answered after careful consideration.

  A few people's faces didn't show any emotions, although they occasionally whispered to each other in low voices. However, their attitudes towards Liang Sanping's answer couldn't be discerned from their expressions.

  "Alright, thank you Comrade Sanping for your cooperation. We will report this matter to the Ministry as soon as possible. Please do not leave the Imperial Capital during this period of time, and if there are any other issues, we will find you at any time to understand the situation. Please cooperate."

  "Alright, I won't leave the capital for a while." Liang Sanping nodded and said. After that, several people stood up one by one to shake hands with Liang Sanping, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then bid farewell.

  At this time, Yamazaki was furious in his office. Several cups were smashed, and the people in front of him, including Otsu Yorozu, looked at their president's anger without saying a word.

  "Damn it! These bastards see a profit and they all come swarming in! Where were they when we were pioneering the market?!"

  Otsu Yin finally got the news from Ye Jianwen, a total of four Japanese companies participated in this competition, including two large financial groups.

  They all expressed their interest in the Qiong Island vegetable market through different channels to the Chinese side. This made Yamazaki extremely angry, and suddenly a stick appeared out of nowhere, which would not be pleasant for anyone.

  "Director, it has come to this. What we should be more concerned about now is the cooperation proposed by us and the Chinese side..." Otsu Yunosuke said anxiously: "Our conditions have already been submitted, so the Chinese side will definitely discuss them with other companies..."

  "In order to open up the Chinese market, and also for the Qiongdao vegetable market. They may not necessarily increase other preferential terms to compete with us..."

  Yamazaki nodded and tapped his finger on the table, saying: "Great job, Otsu! Please continue to follow up and find out what conditions they have offered!"

  "Let the Planning Department redo our contingency plan based on their conditions. This opportunity must be seized as soon as possible, and we absolutely cannot let them slip out of our control!!"

  "Hai!!" Otsu Yū and others responded loudly, they knew that the match they were about to face would be a tough one. The opponent was none other than their own Japanese company.

  Just when Otsu and others were worried and tense, Ye Jianwen suddenly appeared in front of Liang Sanping with a smile, inviting Liang Sanping to dinner.

  "You're really elusive, I heard you were in Hainan Island a while ago, and now you're back in the Imperial City?!" Liang Sanping said with a smile as he looked at Ye Jianwen who suddenly appeared before him.

  "Hey! What's going on? I've finished my investigation, why haven't you sent me back to the capital yet?! " But Ye Jianwen smiled and said: "Or should I stay on the island to assist with your work? ! I'm very capable of enduring hardship!"

  "'Being able to eat bitterness' these five words, I believe you can do the first four. As for the last one, forget it......" Liang Sanping gave Ye Jianwen a white eye and laughed scoldingly.

  "What the hell?! You bastard, how dare you say I'm a big eater?!" Ye Jianwen immediately reacted and scolded Liang Sanping with a smile: "At least when I was investigating in Hainan, I had to climb mountains and cross rivers. Can't your mouth show some mercy?"

  "You've caused me so much trouble, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet! Now you're asking me to show mercy? You can actually say this out loud, which just goes to show that your skin is really thick!"

  The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the reception room. Liang Sanping knew that Ye Jianwen's identity was simple, but he didn't want to ask more questions either. Since they got along well and had something to talk about, Liang Sanping thought it wouldn't be a big deal to have dinner together or something like that.

  Among friends, as long as it doesn't violate the principle, Liang Sanping will help within his ability. But if he's forced to do something difficult, Liang Sanping isn't one to back down without a fight either.

  He had this kind of personality in his previous life, so after many years of mixing around, even though he had a solid foundation, he was still stuck at the grassroots level until retirement. Nothing else, this person is just not receptive to advice or criticism.

  Usually can be with you laughing and joking, drinking wine and tea. But when it comes to matters of principle, he never compromises. If someone needs help, no matter how unfamiliar or remote the team member is, as long as they find him. Even if they don't give him a single cigarette, he will still try his best to help.

  "Come on! Once we arrive in the capital, it's like I'm showing you around my own turf. At least let me treat you to a meal, right?!" But then Ye Jianwen chuckled and said: "I suppose that's just being a good host! But don't think about anything too expensive, I'm just a working-class guy. Let me treat you to a simple meal instead..."

  Liang Sanping smiled and said, "You can't tell whether Ye Jianwen's words are true or false. Or maybe they're half-true, half-false. Anyway, he does count as a member of the working class."

  But his income and expenditure cannot be counted as working class.

  But Liang Sanping would not go with him to discuss and calculate these things, after all, this is Ye Jianwen's private matter.

  The two of them laughed and came out of the reception room, and outside the door was a Jeep driven by Ye Jianwen. After letting Liang Sanping get in the car, Ye Jianwen drove towards the outskirts of the imperial capital.

  Anyway, Ye Jianwen won't plot against himself. If he wants to make a move, Liang Sanping believes Ye Jianwen has plenty of opportunities. So he doesn't care where Ye Jianwen is going.

  The car didn't leave the city, but instead drove along the road for a while before turning into a small alley. After making several turns, many people smiled and greeted Ye Jianwen.

  Then Ye Jianwen stopped the car in front of a courtyard and said to Liang Sanping: "We're here, get out!"

  "Honestly, if you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have been able to find it again..." Liang Sanping said with a wry smile: "This place is so confusing, it's dizzying."

  Ye Jianwen burst out laughing and patted Liang Sanping's shoulder, calling him to enter the courtyard together. This courtyard looked very ordinary, and even Liang Sanping couldn't tell it apart from other courtyards in the imperial capital at first glance.

  But when he got off the bus, he clearly felt several vigilant eyes scanning his body. However, Liang Sanping did not notice where these eyes came from at all.

  This made him very tense, and for a moment his muscles were completely taut...

  "Don't be nervous, we came here today to see an old friend of yours..." But then Ye Jianwen smiled and patted Liang Sanping's shoulder, saying: "You'll know in a minute."

  Liang Sanping nodded, but his vigilance did not relax. Ye Jianwen smiled slightly at the sight, but didn't say much either. He patted Liang Sanping's shoulder and walked with him towards the inner courtyard.

  This is a very ordinary yard, with several old trees planted in the yard. A large water tank lies horizontally against the wall, and an old cat squints its eyes at the edge of the tree.

  "San Ping, are you here?!" Suddenly, a voice shouted. And when Liang Sanping heard this voice, he was first stunned, and then full of surprise and joy.

  "Commander Li! Is that you?! What are you doing here?!" As he spoke, a burly man with a thick beard and over 1.8 meters tall walked out laughing and patted Liang Sanping's shoulder.

  "Stinky brat! How come you didn't contact me after returning from Lao Shan?! Do you think I'm a difficult old fellow to get along with?!" Liang Sanping heard this and smiled awkwardly.

  "Wasn't I wrong back then?! How dare you come find me now......" As soon as Liang Sanping's words came out, Captain Li's face changed and he coldly snorted.

  "You handled this matter wrong from the start! What's the point of killing the meritorious general who came to reinforce, and still getting punished?! Isn't it just about killing a few Vietnamese devils?! What kind of thing is this?! Nonsense!"

  But then Commander Li snorted and said, "This group of bastards is still scribbling nonsense on your file, huh?! Damn it! I should have sent this group of bastards to the battlefield back then, let's see how they teach compassion lessons to the Vietnamese devils!"

  Yejianwen on the side couldn't help but laugh and say: "Old Li, you're just too hot-tempered. Otherwise, you wouldn't be a junior instructor now, you would have been promoted long ago!"

  "Who cares! I don't give a damn about this, if I don't beat those sons of bitches to death, my heart won't be at peace for the rest of my life!" Saying that, Li Tuanzhang... no, now it's Li Shizhang.

  But then Li Shilong patted Liang Sanping's shoulder and sighed, "It's just that, Little Liang! Big Brother owes you an apology. This matter, in the end, didn't help you..."

  Li Sanping heard the words and smiled, shaking his head: "This matter is not your fault, Li brother. At that time, everyone's stomach was broken. Intestines flowed all over the ground, you can still remember me after the event, which is good enough..."

  Three people walked into the house side by side, chatting. The interior decoration was simple, with only a simple table and several rows of chairs. In the corner of the wall stood a bookshelf, along with a set of worn-out desk and chair.

  On the table in the middle of the house, there was a dish of braised pork belly and a dish of sliced roast duck. Then several small dishes to go with wine, and the rest were five jars of old wine.

  "Sanping! After I left the hospital, I've been wanting to find you. It was easy to hear that you were on Qiong Island, but then you were sent by headquarters to study. Just after finishing your studies, you were again sent to the Imperial Capital for training..."

  But then Commander Li smiled and said to Liang Sanping, "If you hadn't come to the capital at just the right time, Xiao Ye would have known about this matter. I don't know when I would have been able to see you otherwise!"

  Liang Sanping smiled and responded that he knew that with Li Tuanzhang's skills and combat experience, he would definitely be promoted by the troops as a backbone training for the next generation.

  This kind of general with real combat experience and command ability is extremely rare. So, even if Li has a hot temper, he's a soldier! What can a soft and weak-tempered army accomplish?

  "Let's not talk about work today, let's just chat! Let's finish this cup first!" But then Commander Li burst out laughing and poured a full bowl of wine for everyone, saying: "Come on! Let's finish this bowl before we say anything else!"
