Chapter 1225: Saving the situation is like putting out a fire

Jian Jingzhe's words were a double entendre.

The fuel she gave to Li Xiangnan was, firstly, the other party's lighter, and secondly, the activities she had asked someone to do in Japan after she got the purchase order during this period had paid off.

"Miss Jingzhe always comes just in time!"

Li Xiangnan smiled gently, stretched out his hand to pick up the bottle of imported lighter fluid on the windowsill and took a look at it, then he took out the Zippo lighter from his pocket and filled it with fluid in a familiar manner.

Just a few days after my Zippo lighter ran out of oil, Jian Jingzhe sent me some lighter oil. It was truly a timely help!

"Saving a situation is like putting out a fire!"

Seeing that he knew how to refill a lighter, Jian Jingzhe looked at him in surprise after saying this.

"You've never eaten pork, but you've seen a pig run!" Li Xiangnan laughed, "I'm worried that if there's no oil, this lighter will be useless! Such a delicate lighter is my reputation in the world!"

"Don't be ridiculous, your reputation doesn't depend on this!"

Jian Jingzhe naturally knew that he was flattering her, so she smiled and asked, "You didn't drink too much tonight, did you?"

"No!" Li Xiangnan shook his head. "The bigger the occasion, the less people drink! Everyone knows their limits!"

"That's good," Jian Jingzhe understood what he said, and said solemnly, "I went to Korea on a business trip, and my father happened to be visiting there. After contacting him, I sent your purchase order over! When I came back before, Song Yi told me in detail about Ambassador Yamamoto. Now Li Ri Group has agreed to Xiangjiang Company's purchase plan, and we are just waiting for our foreign exchange quota! What do you plan to do?"

This sum of 12 RMB has been borrowed from Song Yi. As long as the foreign exchange quota is obtained, the money can be transferred to Li Ri to arrange the import of the B-ultrasound machine!

This was different from the previous import plan for CT scanners led by the Ministry of Health. It was a form of tripartite financing. At that time, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange had not yet been established and the foreign exchange quota was still coordinated by the Planning Commission. With Song Yingxin's participation, the matter was naturally simple.

Now, after the establishment of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange in 79, it is in charge of all foreign exchange affairs of the country. If you want to import advanced foreign instruments, you have to apply for a foreign exchange quota. In addition, the B-ultrasound machine was purchased by Nianwei Hospital itself, which has nothing to do with the Ministry of Health. It is a purely private business behavior, and the Song family cannot interfere.

Li Xiangnan doesn't want to use these connections unless it's absolutely necessary.

Favors always become less each time you use them.

"I will go to the Foreign Exchange Bureau to apply for a foreign exchange quota tomorrow!"

"It's going to be difficult this time. It's very likely that they won't approve it. You have to be prepared! Be sure to inform me of any news! So we can discuss countermeasures!"

"That's for sure!" Li Xiangnan had already expected it.

"Brother Nan!"

At this time, Song Zimo hurried up to the second floor and shouted at the stairs, "My sister is calling you. Leader Shen and Minister Lin are leaving!"

"I'm here!" Li Xiangnan nodded, and then said to Jian Jingzhe apologetically: "How many days will you stay in Yanjing?"

"I've been here before the New Year, and it's almost Chinese New Year! I'm going abroad after the eighth day of the New Year!"

"Okay! There's still time, wait for my news!" Li Xiangnan smiled slightly, "Let's go down!"

The two followed Song Zimo downstairs. People in the hall and private rooms had already come out one after another.

The hall was filled with medical staff from the factory hospital, cadres and workers from the machine repair factory, teachers from Yenching University, students from the biology department, students from the medical school, employees from Nianwei Hospital, employees from Nanyi Equipment Center, employees from Chunyu Medical Equipment, employees from the massage parlor, and people from Gong Kaijiang's engineering team.

It took Li Xiangnan nearly forty minutes just to greet everyone at the door and say goodbye.

There were so many people that it was difficult to say anything personal to anyone, but the mood of congratulations was present throughout.

The crowd finally dispersed, leaving only Wang Defa, Lei Jin, Yang Weidong, Zhang Jingyang, and Song Yi, a brother and sister.

Several people sat on the threshold of South Beauty with their arms and legs spread out, smoking. When Li Xiangnan turned around and took the tea handed to him by Song Zimo with a dry mouth and started drinking it, they looked at each other and grinned.

"You haven't drunk too much, have you?" Li Xiangnan returned the enamel pot to Song Zimo and looked at the guys behind him with a smile.

"You were so busy talking and bragging that you drank six or seven taels of wine! How can you be drunk!" Wang Defa joked with a smile.

Song Yi glared at him, "Six or seven taels is not enough? How much more do you want to drink? Zimo, don't let them ride their bikes later, you send them all back!"

"I know!" Song Zimo agreed, "Don't worry! You and Uncle Jin can go home first!"

"Be careful! Go back to bed early!" Song Yi reminded Li Xiangnan worriedly.

"Let's go! We're leaving too!" Li Xiangnan pulled his brothers up and stuffed them into the car. "If Bai isn't here, I'll take them home to sleep! Let's have a good chat!"

They returned to the courtyard in Song Zimo's car, and stumbled all the way into the yard, supporting each other.

As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I saw old man Li Dequan sitting at the door smoking a pipe.

A lonely lamp in the yard accompanied the old man as he waited for Li Xiangnan to return.

"Grandpa!" Wang Defa pulled Zhang Jingyang and others and shouted.

"You're not drunk, are you?" Li Dequan smashed his pipe and reached into the bag for tobacco.

"No, no! Don't worry, we know what we are doing!" Zhang Jingyang knew that the old man had something to say to Li Xiangnan, so he led a few people into the house first, "Let's go boil some water and wash up!"

After they left, Li Xiangnan walked over, helped his grandfather stuff the tobacco, smiled and sat down beside him. His restless mood calmed down a lot.

Li Dequan glanced at him and said with a smile, "Not bad, you can keep your composure! I feel relieved now!"

Knowing that he was worried that his tail would be lifted up in the sky, Li Xiangnan smiled and said, "Grandpa, do you have something to say to me?"

"It was true before, but now that you are sober, it is gone! It seems that you remember what Grandpa said before..."

"I remember everything about cultivating virtue, seeking truth, being knowledgeable and practicing diligently, Grandpa!" Li Xiangnan said firmly, "I know what I am doing! Although today is a celebration banquet, I know what I am doing and I will not get carried away!"

"Okay!" Li Dequan stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Go to bed!"

"Ok!"

After helping him back to the next room, Li Xiangnan closed the door and looked up at the sky above the small courtyard. The bright moonlight shone quietly on the roof of the courtyard.

The moonlight remained plain and simple, just like himself, without any impetuous change because of his success.

Good!

Silent all night.

The next morning, Li Xiangnan came out of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange with a rather unhappy look on his face.

Wang Defa and Song Zimo, who were waiting in front of the car and smoking, saw his appearance and quickly threw away their cigarettes and ran over.

"Xiao Li, what's going on? Why do you look like that? What happened? Do you disagree or something?"

Li Xiangnan handed over the application form and said coldly, "Agree, but we have to go to the Science and Technology Department of the Planning Commission to obtain the import equipment authorization certificate!"

"Then let's go!" Wang Defa answered casually.

But when the two men held him and walked towards the car, he was shocked after taking only two steps.

Wang Defa was shocked and asked, "Wait a minute? What place are you talking about?"

Song Zimo's face darkened and he said, "Fuck, the Science and Technology Department? Then shouldn't we find Shen Yujing?"

The two of them looked at the document in their hands, and sure enough, Shen Yujing's name was written on the letter of introduction...
