Chapter 1279 2 News
"it's me!"
Jian Jingzhe's signature cold voice immediately sounded on the phone.
"I know!"
"Two pieces of news!"
Li Xiangnan had just finished his second sentence when Jian Jingzhe directly revealed the key point of the call.
His eyes narrowed, his heart sank, and he held the microphone tightly and said, "Jingzhe, talk, I'm listening!"
"The bad news is that the ultrasound machine was temporarily detained by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs when it was loaded onto the ship and passed through customs to enter the port!"
In the subconscious of Chinese people, whether it is a greeting or a notification, they will vaguely report good news but not bad news!
But Jian Jingzhe has been active in the international arena for more than a decade, and has long been accustomed to thinking in a capable, direct and decisive manner.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she told Li Xiangnan the worst news about the ultrasound machine, which really caught Li Xiangnan off guard.
"What about the good news?" But Li Xiangnan is not an ordinary person after all. He noticed that the information in Jian Jingzhe's words just now was two pieces of news.
Since this is the bad news, the next one should be good news, right?
"After hearing about this, Ambassador Yamamoto flew to Neon overnight! My dad just called me and said they met and are rushing to discuss the matter with the relevant departments!"
Yamamoto Jukuro returned to his country urgently for his own affairs?
Li Xiangnan was a little surprised.
His relationship with Yamamoto was not actually close.
But this is his unilateral opinion. Maybe for Yamamoto, the time he saved his neck from the cold poison planted a seed in his heart to repay the favor at any time!
It seems that every time he calls me "sir", he means it sincerely!
"Does this matter require me to go over and take care of it?"
After all, the company in Xiangjiang was his own, importing the ultrasound machine was his idea, he borrowed the money from Song Yi, and he also found a way to get the credit limit.
If the B-ultrasound machine was unilaterally detained by Japan due to breach of contract, Li Xiangnan would definitely be worried!
"No need! I just want to explain the situation to you! You don't need to get involved! After all, I am also a shareholder, I can't just take the money and do nothing! I will take a plane to Neon with my mother this afternoon, and just in time to spend the New Year with my father there! Take care of this matter! If you go back to your hometown, I won't be able to see you off!"
Hearing that she was going to Neon specifically for his matter, Li Xiangnan felt somewhat touched.
"Thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? This is our common cause!" Jian Jingzhe smiled, and his ethereal laughter came through the radio waves. "I wish you and your family a happy new year in advance! I will inform you in time if there is any news! Tell me the phone number of your hometown!"
After reporting the phone number of the Lijia Village Brigade, Li Xiangnan hung up the phone.
He lit a cigarette and sat in the armchair thinking.
The matter of the B-ultrasound machine has been full of twists and turns from the beginning to the end. This time, I hope that Yamamoto Jukuro and Jian Jingzhe can overcome the difficulties in Japan and make this matter go smoothly.
Li Xiangnan was still confident in Jian Jingzhe's abilities.
"Why are you sitting indoors? It's so hot in the sun."
Just as he was in a daze, a few people walked in through the door. Li Xiangnan turned his head and laughed, "Lao Cui, Lao Sun, Weidong!"
The three guys piled the sandbags on their shoulders at the door and came in with smiles on their faces.
Li Xiangnan handed them cigarettes and complained, "Why are you buying things again? If you do this again, I won't let you come as a guest!"
"You kid!" Sun Jie laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
Cui Xingjian took a stool and walked to the door. He picked up the three bags of rice and put them on the stool to prevent them from getting damp. "I heard from Weidong that you drove Xiao Song's car when you returned to your hometown this time, so I arranged for them to get something substantial. It just so happened that Lao Sun's brother-in-law was reclaiming wasteland in the Northeast and brought some Wuchang rice back to Beijing. This stuff is really good! Last time you said that the old man likes to eat Wuchang rice, I remember it!"
"Thank you, I really won't refuse this! The old man really likes to eat it!" Li Xiangnan's eyes lit up and he was deeply moved.
Lao Cui has been really good to his family in the past two years, and he is grateful to these guys from the bottom of his heart.
"When are you going back?" Sun Jie didn't let Li Xiangnan make tea. He directly found a cup on the eight-immortals table and poured it himself, then waved his hand to invite Yang Weidong to sit down.
"The day after tomorrow morning!" Li Xiangnan did not hide it.
Upon hearing this, Yang Weidong turned his head and glanced at the calendar. "Tsk, then there's no time. Let's go have lunch together! I'll treat you! It's rare for us to get together again before the New Year!"
Li Xiangnan nodded, "Okay!"
After a discussion, they immediately rode their bikes back to the machine repair factory, found a state-owned restaurant at the door, called Ding Yuqiu, Ma Yingyao, Mi Le, Tao Zhengtie as well, and had a lively lunch together.
After dinner, Li Xiangnan did not rush home, but went to the factory hospital, found Liang Mei, expressed his gratitude to her, and said that he would treat her to a meal after the New Year and return the house to her after cleaning it.
Dr. Liang originally wanted to chat more, but he was constantly urged to perform surgery, so he could only make an appointment to get together after the New Year.
In the afternoon, Li Xiangnan went to the massage parlor again and visited Zhang Zhisheng and Miao Xiaonian. As it was almost dinner time, he hurried to the nursing home. As expected, Zhang Jingyang and Wang Defa were hiding in the yard, playing chess with the old man.
After wishing a happy new year to Mr. Wang and having a good chat with him, Li Xiangnan went home.
The next morning, Li Xiangnan was awakened by a knock on the door. When he went out, he found it was Lin Weimin.
"Second brother? Why are you here so early?" Li Xiangnan was still a little sleepy.
Lin Weimin grinned as he carried all the gifts at the door into the house. "Knowing that you will be leaving Beijing tomorrow morning, my parents asked me to get you some local specialties from Yanjing. You can take them back to show your uncle and uncle to taste!"
Li Xiangnan took a look at the packages on the ground. There were pastries from Beijing Eight Pieces, dim sum from Daoxiangcun, roast duck wrapped in oil paper, and even some Red Star Erguotou and Lao Yanjing cloth shoes. He could only sigh that Lin Weimin had taken so much trouble.
"I'm leaving! I still have to go to work, so I won't see you off tomorrow! See you after the New Year!" Lin Weimin said hello with a smile, and then went to wish Zhu Qiuju and Li Fugui who were standing at the door, and Li Dequan who was in the house a happy new year.
Qin Ruobai came out of the house with his clothes on. When he saw the things on the floor, he realized that the Lin family had a deep friendship with him, so he hurried out to thank Lin Weimin.
"Sister-in-law, you're welcome! Go back to sleep. I'm leaving, leaving!" Lin Weimin waved his hand, said goodbye, and left in a hurry.
Perhaps everyone had a tacit understanding and knew that Li Xiangnan's family was leaving Beijing to return home. Starting with Lin Weimin, many people bought things and sent them over.
People from the factory hospital, the machine repair factory, Chunyu’s old secretary and director, people from Nanyi, people from Nianwei Hospital, and classmates from Yanda University kept Li Xiangnan very busy that day.
Even on the next morning, when they put all the local specialties from home into the trunk at the entrance of the alley, He Dashuang even secretly stuffed two bottles of Xifeng liquor into it.
Qin Ruobai helped Li Dequan, Li Fugui and Zhu Qiuju into the car one by one. Li Xiangnan then held the car door with one foot and stood on the ground with one foot, waving to the relatives and friends who were seeing him off at the entrance of the alley.
"Let's all go back! It's snowing, don't see us off!"
Qin Kunlun came over and pushed him into the car. He took a serious look at the trunk, closed the door, and warned him, "Drive carefully. It's hard to drive in the snow! I asked my classmates at the weather station. The snow is lighter as we head south to Dongshan... In short, you must stay alert!"
"I know, Dad. Let's go!" Li Xiangnan replied with pursed lips.
"Dad, you guys are fine!"
Qin Ruobai's eyes were red and he kept choking while speaking.
This was the first time she had not been home for the New Year since she got married. Seeing her old father speaking cautiously to her husband, with a look of reluctance on his face, she felt even more distressed.
"Go, go! You don't need to worry about home! Be fine, and call me when you get home!" Qin Kunlun slammed the car door, urging his son-in-law to leave quickly.
"Dad, let's go!"
The wheel ruts rolled over the red scraps of firecrackers in the cracks between the blue bricks and rolled towards the dirt road covered with icy edges in the suburbs of Beijing.
Inside the car window, white mist rose from the hot water in the enamel tub, mixed with the sweet voice of the sweet song queen on the radio, and drifted into the heavy snow.
