Chapter 1236 Because I did it on purpose

Central Theatre, dance studio.

The north wind was wandering outside the gray brick wall, scratching the window frames with its iron claws.

The wooden lattice glass of the practice room was covered with frost, as if it had been breathed on by a fairy in a fairy tale, blurring the initial outline of the morning light.

The old exhaust fan had long been silent, and only the rusty radiator was humming a muddy tune in the corner, turning the cold air into a fine smell of coal smoke.

Song Yi's toes touched the cold barre, her navy blue training pants wrapped around the outline of her long johns, the frayed edges at her knees shivering in the morning light.

She blew on the frosted glass, and drew a crooked sun with her fingertips, which was immediately licked away by the north wind.

The radio was wrapped in a military green cotton cover. When it played excerpts from "The White-Haired Girl", Yang Bailao's singing voice mixed with the noise of electric current floated tremblingly in the ice cellar-like space.

"Yes, very good, Song Yi, pay attention to your breathing! Be as light as the falling snow. Yes, you summarize it! - Let's take a break first, and we will comment on the movements later!"

The dance teacher's voice was wrapped in white mist, and where the cane tapped lightly, Song Yi's toes made a sound of crackling ice on the floor.

She stole a glance at the mirror and saw her red nose tip. The strands of hair on the back of her neck were stained with wall dust from last night's rehearsal of "The Red Detachment of Women", and were now itching from the heating.

Hearing the teacher's voice, Song Yi withdrew her legs from the leg cross railing and wiped the sweat off her face with her towel.

Then the beautiful girls around him gathered around.

"Song Yi, I heard that the Shichahai Ice Rink has reopened. Let's go ice skating together! We haven't been there for several years. Let's go together?"

"Sister Song Yi, our performance tomorrow night is over, so we'll have a complete holiday! It's so cold outside, I think we should go shopping. I heard that the department store has a lot of fashionable scarves, many of which are foreign goods imported from the East China Sea!"

Listening to the excited chattering of classmates around her, Song Yi smiled and said softly, "We'll make an appointment after the performance!"

She neither agreed nor refused, which caused a series of exclamations from the students around her.

Everyone felt lucky that this cold and aloof beauty from the Central Academy of Drama was willing to play with everyone.

"Alright, alright, take a good rest and drink some water!" The dance teacher came over and waved. After everyone left, he whispered to Song Yi, "Xiao Song, your movements are more standard than the teacher's! You will definitely be able to win the group party performance tomorrow night!"

"Thank you, Teacher Wang. I will continue to work hard..."

"Sister, sister, sister!"

Before Song Yi finished her words, she saw Song Zimo standing at the door, sticking his head out to look into the dance studio, causing many female classmates to scream in embarrassment.

"Teacher, I'm going to go out for a while!" Song Yi twitched her lips apologetically.

"You must have something going on at home!" Teacher Wang was very considerate. "Okay, they can just participate in the action review later. You go and do your own thing! Remember to come to rehearsal tomorrow!"

"Thank you, teacher!" Song Yi nodded, ran to the door quickly, held the door frame, and glared at her brother, "You are so flustered. Where is this place? Look how scared you are of the junior and senior students!"

College students are still quite conservative in their thinking nowadays.

The dance room has heating, so the female students wear cooler clothes. Generally, male students would not come here openly because they feel embarrassed!

Who knew Song Zimo would be so reckless as to open the door!

"Sister, I have something to do..."

Song Zimo, with his face pressed against the wall, already felt his own recklessness and felt very embarrassed.

"Be careful or we'll catch you for being a hooligan!" Song Yi pinched her brother and asked quickly, "What's the matter that's making you so anxious?"

Song Zimo chuckled, "I was just on my way to the hospital when Defa told me that Lao Duan called and said that Brother Nan was already at the Malaysian Embassy! He asked me to come quickly to pick you and Miss Jian up and bring our official contract. Oh, and bring the people from the law department as well..."

Song Yi was shocked. "You're not going to sign the contract now? Why so early? Didn't you just give the contract to Cui Jindong yesterday afternoon?"

"I don't know either. Let's go there and see!" Song Zimo shook his head. "Brother Nan's order must be correct!"

"Okay, wait for me, I'll change my clothes!" Song Yi slammed the door, quickly went to the locker room, changed her clothes, and hurried downstairs.

The two drove to pick up Jian Jingzhe first, and then hurried to Nanyi Machinery to bring Shu Baojun, a senior student in the Law Department of Yenching University who had not returned home and was working part-time in the company.

After a complete tour, we finally arrived at the Malaysian Embassy in about an hour.

There were already staff members waiting at the door. When they saw the familiar Song Yi and her group coming, they hurried over to greet them.

"Dr. Li is in the VIP room!"

After saying this, he led them hurriedly to the agreed place.

When they heard it was the VIP room, Song Yi and Jian Jingzhe looked at each other.

The last time I came, I was in the big reception room, this time I went straight to the VIP room. It seems like I’m almost ready to sign the contract.

When they entered the house, Li Xiangnan was sitting with his legs crossed, chatting and laughing with Cui Jindong, talking about their current life in the countryside.

"Ms. Song, Ms. Jian, Mr. Song, you are here!" Cui Jindong stood up and greeted them. He glanced at the unfamiliar Shu Baojun and asked, "Who is this?"

“This is our group’s legal department!”

Li Xiangnan reminded with a smile, which immediately raised Shu Baojun's status several levels.

"Hello, Ambassador Cui!" Shu Baojun reached out his hand and shook hands with Cui Jindong without being humble or arrogant.

He wore glasses and was meticulous. His face looked calm, but there was a huge wave of emotions in his heart.

Previously, he worked part-time at Nanyi Company, dealing with small matters such as signing contracts with pharmaceutical companies and hospitals.

But today I am here to visit the embassy of Malaysia.

On the way, he confirmed with Mr. Song Yi several times the destination they were going to, and he was not at peace at all.

After coming to this place, he felt it was as unreal as a dream until he saw Li Xiangnan actually discussing something with the Malaysian ambassador!

Mr. Li’s steps are really big!

It was so big that even he, a top student in the law department with a strong ability to accept and adapt, couldn't keep up!

"Xiao Shu! Did you bring our contract? Take a look at the requirements raised by Ambassador Cui. Are there any that need to be adjusted? Make a supplementary agreement!"

Li Xiangnan handed over a piece of written letter paper on the table, and his tone was just like that of the company's CEO.

Shu Baojun didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Although he is much older than Li Xiangnan!

But no one present felt it was inappropriate.

The high or low status seems to have long been a consensus among everyone at the Nanyi Medical Equipment Center.

"Okay!" Shu Baojun pushed up his glasses, put down his briefcase and sat down. "Give me half an hour!"

He grabbed the piece of letter paper covered with words and read it word by word.

"Doctor Li, you guys take a rest for a while. When you're ready, just call me. I'll be next door!" Cui Jindong was also very tactful and left.

"What's going on, Xiangnan? Why are you guys here so early? How did you discuss this? Are you going to sign the contract?"

As soon as he left, Song Yi immediately turned around and looked at Li Xiangnan excitedly.

"..." Jian Jingzhe suddenly waved his hand to stop Li Xiangnan from speaking, then squatted down and looked at the edge of the coffee table.

Song Zimo, Song Yi and Shu Baojun were all startled by her action. Only Li Xiangnan leaned back on the sofa with a smile, looking confident.

He took out a handheld signal device from his pocket and moved it around the sofa, coffee table, desk lamp, and writing desk. Everyone's eyes followed the movement, and the more they looked, the more surprised they were.

The beeping sound continued.

Finally, Jian Jingzhe took out a radio-like object from his bag, turned it on, and said after pressing it, "Six eavesdropping devices have been blocked!"

Song Yi exclaimed: "After all, you are a professional! Fortunately, I brought you with me!"

Jian Jingzhe smiled and looked at Li Xiangnan, "You can tell me now!"

Li Xiangnan smiled, leaned back and lay on the sofa, saying: "The top leaders of Neon Country are gone! They got the price I quoted! They asked Cui Jindong to cooperate with them! It put a lot of pressure on Malaysia, but Ambassador Cui obviously prefers us..."

Jian Jingzhe was stunned: "Your conversation was so secretive, how could the people from Japan know about it?"

Reaching out to take the bug detector from her hand, Li Xiangnan played with it and said with a smile: "Because I did it on purpose..."

"???"
