Chapter 65 Chess Pieces and Chess Players
"I'm interested?" Li Xu couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Then he turned his head to look at Chu Quan, who had already gone away from the car, and said, "It's not convenient today...... Mr. Chu is going to visit his father, I'm afraid I can't have a deep chat with you. ”
Iwai took the initiative to tell him about the matter, which made Li Xu feel a little vigilant in his heart, and then refused first.
Although the real purpose of his relationship with the consulate is to get more news from them, not all news can be obtained, and if he doesn't take it randomly, he will hurt himself.
Now that Iwai is saying so solemnly, he has to be even more cautious!
But Iwai, who heard Li Xu's reason, said nonchalantly: "Mr. Li said that he laughed, now he can go in and make a phone call to deal with things, why accompany him?" Anyway, Mr. Li is not a chess lover, so he doesn't have to rush back to watch the game, right? ”
Hearing Iwai's words, Li Xu couldn't help frowning slightly, in fact, the meaning of Iwai's words was also very obvious, what he wanted to say must be related to himself, so he couldn't help but feel a little more pressure in his tone, and a little less easy-going usually.
For this reason, Li Xu couldn't help but wonder if it was related to the official business that Chu Quan said before!
One thing that can make Iwai temporarily put down the official duties of deep friendship with Chu Quan, how much weight does it have Li Xu also wants to know. The curiosity in his heart couldn't help but be stirred.
Li Xu couldn't help but have some ripples in his heart, he really wanted to know.
And if he really refuses Iwai like this now, it will definitely be very detrimental to his future activities in the consulate, thinking of this, Li Xu immediately said: "Borrow your consulate's phone." ”
He didn't stop and walked into the consulate immediately.
And Iwai smiled lightly at the door, and said to Li Xu's back, "Please." ”
Li Xu's movements were fast, he made a few phone calls to arrange everything, and then walked into Iwai's office.
"I wonder if Consul Iwai has any new good news? It's even so mysterious......" Li Xu said with a puzzled expression.
Iwai smiled: "Of course it's good news, I know that you have always wanted to have a deeper level of cooperation and communication with the empire, but it is difficult to make achievements because of some pedantic elders in the family, and now I have a matter here, I think it can be an opportunity for you to solve this problem......"
"Oh? There is such a thing, but if Consul Iwai intervenes to solve my family's problems, I'm afraid it will backfire, right? Li Xu said.
But at this time, Iwai shook his head, "Although Liu Zipeng of the Liu family in Suzhou has died in an accident, it has been proved that Liu Zipeng's way of cutting first and then playing is feasible, and the situation of the Li family and the Liu family are actually very familiar, so I want to give it a try." ”
"Nope." Hearing Iwai's intention, Li Xu hurriedly refused, "Haven't we discussed this before?" I know the attitude of my family, and there is absolutely no chance of success in doing so. Before the Liu family completely expressed their position, they had many inextricable connections with the government through Liu Zipeng's business, but my family is different, I know my family's business, it is basically pure commercial behavior, if I set this precedent, then I am afraid that what awaits me is to be swept away, and everyone will be ugly at that time, I still have the original opinion, this matter still has to be gradual, and must not be rushed, didn't Liu Zipeng of the Liu family come step by step? ”
Although Li Xu also wants to enter the core level of the Japanese, so that he can get more valuable news, he must deal with the relationship with his family, the relationship between the family is a help and a resistance for him, he must control the angle of this double-edged sword, and at the same time not cut himself while becoming his own ladder to the maximum.
Li Xu understood Iwai's mentality, Iwai obviously couldn't wait, the situation brought by the Liu family's statement to help Japanese rule in China made him greedy, and he was eager to replicate the same success in Shanghai!
Although this place in Shanghai has been occupied early, the gunfire and blood have not stopped, and the Japanese need all kinds of local forces to serve them, and the effect of co-opting a famous family like the Li family is definitely much better than cultivating any newcomers!
They themselves have intricate stakes in the land with many people, and these influences cannot be easily changed by others.
Li Xu knows all these in his heart, so he must be cautious and cautious, if he can handle these well, he may even be able to have the weight of Yuan Hao as soon as he joins, so he must deal with it carefully.
Just when Li Xu was determined to have this idea, the eyes in front of him smiled, "Mr. Li, don't worry, of course what I said will not be so simple, in fact, Chu Quan is just the point where we can make a fuss!! ”
"Mr. Chu???" Li Xu was surprised.
He couldn't figure out how Chu Quan could get involved in these things, you must know that he was just a chess player!
Thinking of this, Li Xu couldn't help but look at the chess game that was still in Iwai's office, and they hadn't finished playing before, revealing an incredible expression.
Li Xu couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with Mr. Chu?" ”
At this time, Iwai got up and walked to the chessboard, smiled easily, picked up a chess piece, and said, "What does it matter if the chess player uses it as a chess piece......
……
"Smack!! Chu Quan shook his hand, and a white piece in his hand couldn't help but fall on the chessboard, and the crisp sound also disrupted his thoughts.
And Li Xuan, who was sitting in front of him at this time, couldn't help but be concerned: "Mr. Chu, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing...... It's just a slippery hand......" Chu Quan smiled slightly, shook his head and said.
Li Xuan didn't think much about it after hearing this, but just laughed and said, "Then you have suffered a loss!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Bai Zi, who had just fallen by Chu Quan, and said, "It's a waste of chess in this place, so let's play it again!" ”
But Chu Quan immediately shook his head, "It is a rule to have no regrets, of course a chess player must look like a chess player." ”
Hearing how Chu Quan said seriously, Li Xuan also nodded again and again, "Mr. Chu is young and promising, and this bearing is also rare. I'm being narrow-minded to say that. ”
At this moment, the phone in the house rang, and the housekeeper hurriedly answered it.
"Master, it's the young master who got the call."
"What did he say?" Li Xuan asked while looking at the chessboard.
"The young master said that he has something important to discuss, so please wait for him ......at night," said the butler.
"Got it, don't be too late for him to come back early, I'm going to bed early now." Li Xu stared at the chessboard without turning his head and said.
Of course, with his attention on the chessboard, he wouldn't notice Chu Quan showing a hidden smile at this time......
