200: Mr. Li, why are you standing at the door?
Li Xiang looked like a hooligan, it was embarrassing.
Private Room One?
Li Xiang immediately understood that the two leaders from Yue Province were the guests today, and he had actually taken their private room.
He was so frightened that his entire body trembled, sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, flowing down his fleshy face. Taking the leaders' private room—he must be tired of living.
He absolutely had to give the leaders a way out, otherwise he would be removed tomorrow. Thinking about his own shady dealings, he wasn't sure if he would end up in jail after being removed.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
He pulled Section Chief Wang from behind, no longer polite, and directly kicked him to the ground, "Leaders, I didn't know! It was arranged by my subordinate. This scoundrel must have been acting in my name. I'll fire him tomorrow!"
Section Chief Wang was stunned on the ground. He had been such a sycophant, only to be directly sold out by his superior.
"Director Li, I..." Section Chief Wang still wanted to explain.
"What 'I'?!" Director Li wouldn't give him a chance to explain; explaining would be betraying himself. So he directly pressed his obese body onto him and slapped him several times.
Poor Section Chief Wang, already small in stature, was completely unable to resist under Director Li's weight and cried out in pain.
Fang Weiguo watched the two of them perform this act of self-sacrifice with cold eyes, then said indifferently, "Go back to your Private Room One and stay there. Don't make a spectacle of yourself here."
Although he was angry, this was not the place to deal with people. How to deal with it could be decided at a meeting back at the Provincial Level.
"Two leaders, I'll give it up, I'll give it up right away." Director Li was almost in tears. For him to sit in Private Room One and for the two leaders to sit in Private Room Five—he wouldn't dare.
"Get out!" Fang Weiguo shouted sternly. Give up what? You took it and now you want to give it back? There's no such easy thing in this world, at least not with me, Fang Weiguo.
Under years of accumulated authority, Director Li trembled all over from Fang Weiguo's angry roar, almost losing his footing.
Looking at the frosty-faced Fang Weiguo and the grim-faced Kang Dejun, he could only bow miserably to the two leaders and slinked out.
After leaving, he didn't dare to leave completely, nor did he dare to return to Private Room One. He just stood honestly at the entrance of Private Room Five. He had made a mistake, and there was nothing he could do about it, but his attitude towards correction had to be good, otherwise he would truly be finished.
As soon as he stood still, Wang Chao walked over. The guy was stuck in traffic and was late.
Seeing Director Li at the entrance, he was a bit disbelieving. This was Director Li of the Trading Group, whom so many people sought out for favors. Now he was just standingSilly at the door. Had some important figure arrived?
Wang Chao looked up at the private room number, 5. His grand-nephew had booked it.
He walked over softly, "Director Li, why are you here?"
Li Xiang looked up and recognized Wang Chao from Wang Corporation. The hotels under the corporation's name were under the jurisdiction of their Trading Group, and usually, he had Wang Chao completely under his thumb.
But today... and the young man hosting inside today, the one who could invite two big bosses, was from their Wang family.
Do you think he still dared to put on airs with Wang Chao now?
Li Xiang squeezed out what he thought was a brilliant smile, bowing and scraping as he said to Wang Chao, "Director Wang, you're here. I'll open the door for you."
With that, he actually walked to the door and gently pulled it open a crack, not daring to open it wide, fearing the big shots inside would scold him.
Wang Chao was completely bewildered, not understanding what was wrong with Director Li today. But he didn't care; Wang Chao was a big-hearted guy, and if someone opened the door for him, he just walked right in.
"My grand-nephew, your uncle is here!" As soon as he entered, Wang Chao shouted mischievously, his face full of joy.
But when he saw clearly who was sitting inside, his throat felt as if it had been squeezed, and his voice instantly cut off.
Kang Dejun, the number one of Yue Province, and Fang Weiguo, the number two of Yue Province, were sitting right in front of him.
He instantly felt immense pressure. Had he been presumptuous just now?
However, Kang Dejun and Fang Weiguo merely glanced at him before lowering their heads in thought, not bothering with whether he had called out loudly or not.
Ye Lin waved at Wang Chao, inviting him to come and sit down.
"Two leaders, this is my uncle, Wang Chao, the current chairman of Wang Corporation," Ye Lin introduced.
"Xiao Wang, hello."
"Mm."
Both big shots gave a slight response, which almost made Wang Chao jump up in excitement.
But Ye Lin held him back. This was a time for serious business. Ye Lin had already stated his intention: to hand over the chip manufacturing technology to the country.
When Kang Dejun and Fang Weiguo heard this news, they were actually a bit slow to process it.
They had originally thought Ye Lin had something to ask of them today, but it turned out he was here to present a treasure—and it was chip technology.
Young Master Fang showed a 'just as I thought' expression. This guy was starting to promote this stuff again. He couldn't understand why he was so enthusiastic about something that could be directly bought.
Young Master Kang was the same; he understood even less about this, not getting what Ye Lin was trying to do. Was he planning to do business with his father?
While the two young masters didn't pay much attention, the two leaders' faces were very serious.
Unlike the two young men, Kang Dejun and Fang Weiguo knew what chips meant to the country. It was definitely not just about money; it was a lifeline.
Although public attention to this term was not high at present, the higher-ups had already listed it as one of the most important scientific research projects.
It wasn't like Young Master Fang, who was in business and only cared about making money.
It was said that the Eagle Country was about to make a move against Great Xia, to blockade Great Xia's chips.
It was said that after learning this news, several leaders had been troubled for a long time, unable to find a solution, and could only brace themselves, having prepared for severe economic damage.
These were internal secrets; they hadn't even told their own sons. This was a national strategy and could not be revealed.
But now Ye Lin directly said he had all the complete data and could start production immediately. Did that mean the Eagle Country's blockade would be useless?
This sounded a bit absurd, like getting a pillow when you're sleepy—it seemed too good to be true.
How could such high-end technology be so easily obtained? They had to ask for clarification.
The two leaders looked at each other formally for the first time, exchanging glances. Both saw desire and suspicion in the other's eyes, though suspicion still predominated.
Kang Dejun nodded, and Fang Weiguo instantly understood. He cleared his throat and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Xiao Ye, where did you get this technical data?"
Fang Weiguo speaking so softly startled Young Master Fang. "Damn, what's Grandpa doing? So gentle. He never seemed this gentle even with his own son."
