On Thursday, I received a message from Sergei.

He told us that the vice president said that he was currently in discussions with the leadership of the airport project on the ground about the project. When he returns to Moscow, he will meet Mr. Liu, and he hopes that Mr. Liu and the Russian company will be able to prepare all the bidding documents by then.

I called Mr. Liu to tell me the news.

Mr. Liu laughed happily:

- "Linna, there has been no news from your friend these days, I thought there was no drama!" ”

I say:

- "You don't know that the Russians are so efficient, how can they react so quickly!" ”

Mr. Liu said that he didn't expect Sergei to be really a person who can do things. He had wanted to contact the person in charge of the company through the relationship between the Construction Bureau and Wajim, but there was no response.

Three days later, Mr. Wang held a banquet for me and Mr. Liu, and Lu Tao also participated.

Mr. Liu told Mr. Wang that our first stop was Irkutsk. There will be a delay of a few days, on the one hand, a round with Vajim, ready to go to Moscow. On the one hand, there are some things under construction over there that he needs to deal with.

Although there is still nearly a month to go before the bidding date for the airport project, Mr. Liu believes that we still need to hurry, and his trip to Russia must be fruitful.

Lu Tao told Mr. Liu that the sales center in Dalian has been renovated and will be ready for use in a few days.

Mr. Liu said that Mr. Wang had to worry more about the sales of real estate over there, and he was going all out to take down the airport reconstruction project.

Listening to their conversation, I slowly sorted out the relationship between Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu and Lu Tao.

I heard them only talk about Mr. Liu's business at home and abroad, and as for the other people and things of the "Angara" group, Mr. Wang did not mention anything.

Today, I felt that Mr. Liu's mood had been a little excited, and he took the initiative to order a bottle of Xinghuafen wine to help the fun, and said that he would have to pay for the meal.

Mr. Liu not only pulled Lu Tao to drink with him, but also asked Lu Tao to smoke with him. Only then did I know that Mr. Liu also smoked.

Mr. Wang had a lot of criticism about Mr. Liu's suggestion to smoke.

She looked at Mr. Liu, who was bent on going his own way, he turned to Lu Tao and said dissatisfiedly, "Lu Tao, you promised me to quit smoking once or twice, why don't you start quitting?" 》

Lu Tao looked at Mr. Wang a little timidly, and didn't dare to take the cigarette in Mr. Liu's hand.

Mr. Liu, who was slightly drunk, said to Mr. Wang with a smile that he assured that Lu Tao would smoke for the last time. For the sake of him being about to go to Moscow, I will make an exception today, and everyone should not spoil his fun! Besides, he paid for the meal, which was a fine for their smoking.

Hearing him say this, Mr. Wang no longer raised any objections. She turned her head and rolled her eyes at me. Mr. Liu, seeing that Mr. Wang no longer objected, was happy that he shouted to the service eye, "Open all the windows, don't smoke the beauties!" 》

Lu Tao looked at Mr. Liu gratefully and diligently lit a cigarette for him.

Mr. Wang looked at me and asked:

- "Linna, they all say that Russian women also smoke, why don't you smoke so much?" ”

- "Oh, what's this? I didn't want to learn, I thought I did, and it would be too much trouble to quit later, hehe......" I replied with a smile.

They all laughed when they heard my words.

- "And does your boyfriend smoke?" Mr. Wang then asked

- "He doesn't smoke, I think he probably thinks smoking will affect his fitness results, right?" I said

- "Oh? Does this still have an impact? Lu Tao asked

- "Will there be?" Anyway, in Russia, athletes don't smoke, drink alcohol, and say that it will affect their performance. I said

- "I think the Russian approach is very scientific. It's okay to drink less, but this smoking is really not good at all. Mr. Wang said dissatisfiedly, and shook the plastic wine list in his hand with his hand, as if he wanted to fan away the smell of smoke under his nose.

In fact, as soon as the two large windows of our private room were opened, there was no cigarette in the room, but Mr. Wang still seemed to be very dissatisfied with Mr. Liu and Lu Tao's approach.

- "You don't understand this, there are so many benefits of smoking, right?" Lu Tao? Mr. Liu looked at Lu Tao with a smile while playing the ashes of his cigarette and said

Lu Tao smiled as if agreeing, but didn't make a sound.

- "Come! Linna, drink more apple juice to detoxify. Mr. Wang poured me juice, and his tone was a little yin and yang.

- "Oh, thank you, Mr. Wang, I also think it's time to drink more." I smiled and looked at Mr. Wang and replied meaningfully.

Mr. Liu and Lu Tao looked at us and smiled, pretending not to understand.

Mr. Wang seemed to be particularly sensitive to the smell of smoke in the house, so she stood up and walked to the open window to breathe.

I drank the juice and looked at Mr. Liu and Lu Tao opposite.

Mr. Liu was smoking a cigarette while telling Lu Tao about the work in Dalian.

I was very impressed by their image of being a martial artist.

Lu Tao, who has a rough temperament, is the busiest but least talkative person in this feast. He skillfully cooperated with the waiter to arrange our meal activities in an orderly manner.

I found that Lu Tao's ability to see people's eyes is really not small, and he really knows what leaders need.

At this moment, Lu Tao stared at his big bright eyes and listened carefully to Mr. Liu's arrangement, just like his expression when he followed Mr. Wang's instructions in the past.

Compared with Lu Tao's black and red face, Mr. Liu's yellow and white face became more and more obvious, he frowned slightly, his eyes looked into the distance, and through the lenses, I saw that his narrow eyes were very thoughtful.

Liu is always Mr. Wang's think tank! Lu Tao is Mr. Wang's thug?—— I laughed at myself, how could I suddenly have this thought?

I looked at Mr. Wang, who was standing in front of the window looking at her phone, and she didn't seem to care at all about the conversation between Mr. Liu and Lu Tao.

Perhaps the relationship between them is far more complex and delicate than I understand.

When he was full of wine and food, Mr. Liu called the waiter to settle the bill.

At this time, I felt that Mr. Liu's reaction was already a little sluggish. Lu Tao is like a drop of wine.

It seems that Lu Tao has a lot of alcohol - I thought to myself.

I saw Lu Tao quickly hand over his credit card and a business card to the waiter, and asked him to issue an invoice according to this name.

Mr. Liu didn't seem to understand what was going on, he looked at the waiter with the drinking card, and then at Lu Tao, and suddenly didn't seem to know what to say.

- "Why don't you go quickly?" Lu Tao shouted to the waiter, and then said with a smile to Mr. Liu:

- "I'll do this!" ”

Mr. Liu looked at him and smiled knowingly, but didn't insist.

I'm curious about what kind of business card Lu Tao gave to the waiter?

Because, I have never seen Lu Tao's business card.

I recalled the first time Lu Tao invited me to dinner, and he said that he could be reimbursed. I feel that Lu Tao and his colleagues have always been very generous in eating, drinking and consuming. The Land Rover he often drives is actually Mr. Wang's car.

It seems that Lu Tao has a privilege that many colleagues don't know very well!

Mr. Wang, who was drinking tea, didn't seem surprised by Lu Tao's move.

She said to Mr. Liu that Xiaobai had already booked our air tickets. Nowadays, there is no need for paper tickets, and we can check in with our passports.

At the door of the restaurant, Mr. Liu handed over the key of his car to the driver, and when he opened the door, he turned around and asked:

- "This time it was remitted to your account in Hong Kong?" ”

- "Yes! ”

Mr. Wang replied, smiling and waving goodbye to him.
