The Bravest

Gangcun's material control team entered the temporary material transfer warehouse in Fengxian County. After some communication over the wine table, they started the material inventory work, which was handled by the accountant brought by Gangcun. Lin Jie, on behalf of Gangcun, began to contact the party represented by Captain Li, and then they would discuss the specific distribution of interests and the specific obligations of the cooperation between the two parties.

Before starting the negotiations, Lin Jie specifically asked Gangcun: "Mr. Gangcun, there will be no problem dealing with the other party. I have roughly figured out their background. In fact, they are Li Shiqun's men. Although we don't get along well with Li Shiqun, we can talk about anything when it comes to interests. The same goes for them. Why am I in such a hurry to ask one more question? Should we bring Miss Michiko with us to the negotiations? Should we let her participate in all of it or should we conceal some of it?" Lin Jie was wary of Michiko's unusual behavior during the banquet last night. He didn't know whether this was Gangcun's arrangement or Michiko's spontaneous behavior, or whether there was someone behind Michiko. Gangcun must give instructions for all of these.

"Mr. Lin, you just think too much. Michiko's behavior last night was allowed by me. What I did was to prevent the other party from trying to win you over. Mr. Lin, I did this not because I don't trust you, but to avoid unnecessary trouble. So you don't have to think too much about what happened last night. In addition, I have investigated Michiko's situation very clearly, so there is no need to doubt her. Just bring her with you during the negotiation. However, you must be on guard against others and don't leave any evidence. In case something really happens, as long as there is no hard evidence, I can have a verbal lawsuit with others. If time passes, many things will pass. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Seeing that Gangcun had made up his mind and confirmed that Michiko would not be Yingzuo Zhenzhu's person, Lin Jie had no choice but to believe him. Gangcun had his own way, and Lin Jie could not know everything, just like Lin Jie also had many things that Gangcun did not know.

However, Lin Jie still had a trick up his sleeve and met with Captain Li in private. "Old Li, you're pretending well. Does the director know that I was assigned here? Did he deliberately transfer you here to cooperate with me?" Lin Jie and Captain Li were actually old acquaintances, but not many people knew about it. They were both agents responsible for Li Shiqun's black market business.

Li Shiqun was a very suspicious person. No one knew how many people the business was divided among except the couple. Many of them did not know each other. Lin Jie and Captain Li had a quarrel on the black market and almost had a fight. Both sides asked Li Shiqun for help, only to find out that they were a family.

"Hehe, the director has great connections and has long noticed that Gangcun is trying to get a position in the material control group. But I don't know if you didn't communicate with the director after you came back to Fengxian County?"

"We definitely communicated with each other, but we only know that it was the material control team today. We didn't know about the transfer here until yesterday, so we didn't have time to notify them. But with the two of us working together, things will be much easier."

"Haha, but the negotiation still needs to go on and we need to put on enough drama."

"I'm telling you, Michiko will also be involved in the negotiations, so we have to communicate well in advance and make sure we don't let anyone know."

"Wow, you didn't really get that Japanese bitch, did you? That's awesome! Next time you have something like this, remember to save some soup for your brothers."

"It's not important. Let me tell you the situation first. I don't have much time." Lin Jie couldn't tell everyone everything. Even to old acquaintances, he had to keep some things to himself. The less people could see, the better.

······

Three days later, everything had been settled, the negotiations went smoothly, and both sides were satisfied. Gangcun was going back to the city tomorrow and would host dinner again tonight. This time, Gangcun was generous and invited everyone, even the sentries were rotated, making sure that every person in the warehouse had enough food and drink.

Gangcun, Captain Li, Lin Jie and Michiko were drinking alone in Lin Jie's room. It was unknown where Gangcun's men found two women to accompany them drinking. One sat next to Gangcun, and the other accompanied Captain Li. There was no arrangement for Lin Jie. This arrangement was very strange, and Lin Jie was secretly cautious, wondering what Gangcun was up to.

"Mr. Gangcun, you are so mean. You all have beautiful women to accompany you, so why don't I have one?" Lin Jie, who was a little drunk, complained to Gangcun with a smile, trying to find out Gangcun's intentions.

"Mr. Lin, we've all been drinking, and Miss Michiko has no one to accompany her. This is not good. We can't let Captain Li just drink, so I'm sorry to inconvenience you. Haha, Captain Li, let's drink our own wine, and let Mr. Lin accompany Michiko." Gangcun was already drunk, and while drinking he began to make inappropriate gestures towards the woman who was accompanying him for drinks. Captain Li over there was doing much the same thing.

"Mr. Lin, I'll have a drink with you." Michiko was very generous and took the initiative to clink glasses with Lin Jie. Lin Jie just took a sip and complained in his heart, damn, Gangcun must have not forgotten that bad idea, it seems that he has also told Michiko about it, and how did this female spy convince Gangcun? Lin Jie no longer had time to think about how to refuse. Lin Jie's brain was working at high speed, but he still couldn't think of any solution.

After three glasses of wine, Lin Jie felt something was wrong and his body became hot.

Looking at Gangcun again, his face was as red as Captain Li's, his eyes were green, he was mumbling something, hugged the woman beside him and started to walk out.

Suddenly, only Lin Jie and Michiko were left in the room. Lin Jie tried hard to suppress his anger and shouted to the outside of the door: "Liu Sheng, get in!"

"Brother, what's the matter?" Liu Sheng walked in and saw Lin Jie staring at Michiko, feeling a little confused.

"Put your things away." Lin Jie ordered, and then said to Michiko, "Ms. Michiko, you should go back and rest first. I'm drunk, so I won't accompany you anymore."

"Chief Lin, please go to bed early. I'll be there soon." She lived in the room opposite.

Liu Sheng packed up his things, said hello to Lin Jie and left. Lin Jie also breathed a sigh of relief. Where did Gangcun get the wine? He always felt angry after drinking it. Michiko covered her appearance again tonight, so she didn't seem to be doing anything.

Lin Jie had just taken a cold shower and finally calmed down his anger. He fell asleep on the bed.

Michiko returned to her room, took a hot bath, changed into a gorgeous kimono, and put on makeup carefully. She returned to Lin Jie's door. Liu Sheng was about to stop her, but Michiko spoke first: "Liu Sheng, you don't recognize me, get out of the way."

"Section Chief Michiko, Section Chief Lin is resting. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Liu Sheng was very polite and firm.

"Haha, that's not right. You should call me Fourth Concubine, do you understand?" Michiko looked at Liu Sheng with a smile.

"Ah?" Liu Sheng widened his eyes and looked at the beautiful young woman in disbelief.

"Ah, what? Your brother is drunk. I'm going to go in and serve him. Keep the door open." Michiko took advantage of Liu Sheng's distracted moment to push Liu Sheng aside and opened the door.
