Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

After settling the fish and shrimp, Xu Manman brought up her idea of ​​buying cattle and sheep, and Fei Huainan did not refuse.

The land here isn't suitable for planting, but it's full of wild grass, making it perfect for raising cattle and sheep.

The two of them were pondering what to buy in the space.

Xu Manman thought geese would also work, as would pigs, which she would raise herself for a greener diet.

Basically, anything edible can be raised.

She envisioned a bright future.

On the other side, Zhang Shuli was stopped by Hawke, and she frowned.

"what are you doing?"

Zhang Shuli was somewhat wary of Hawke. When they first arrived, he had caused them a lot of trouble; he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Hawke was somewhat disdainful of her actions. What was this old woman thinking? Did she suspect that he would take a liking to her?

Don't be ridiculous. She can question his professional skills, but she can't question his aesthetic sense.

If he wanted to look, he'd want a glamorous woman with bright red lips and wavy hair; who would be interested in someone this old?

However, since he did have something to ask the other party, he was still quite polite.

"Miss Zhang, may I invite you to dinner?"

Zhang Shuli was ready to refuse without even thinking about it; what reason did she have to have dinner with Hawke?

However, Hawke spoke first.

"I heard that your Comrade Xu is very capable. He has only been in the army for a little over a year and he is already a major. It is said that he will be promoted again this time."

"You all worked so hard to secure this cooperation, and now it's all taken by her? Are you willing to accept that?"

"If you're really willing to accept this, then disregard what I said. But if you're not, I can help you."

Zhang Shuli looked wary: "I know you're saying this just to cause problems in our cooperation."

"But we've already signed the contract, so there's nothing you can do about it."

Hawke chuckled lightly: "You've signed the contract, so naturally I won't do anything, but I know there are other contracts as well."

"Actually, I have no interest in those old ships at all. I came here this time to complete the task assigned by my superiors."

"To be honest, this is the first time I've suffered such a huge loss, so I want to get revenge."

"I'm only taking revenge on one person. If you're interested, we'll meet tonight."

With that, Hawkes gave the address of a restaurant and left.

Zhang Shuli wanted to get rid of him, but then she remembered what Hawke had just said: Xu Manman would make a contribution again and get promoted.

She's only been promoted for a short time, less than six months, and she's already getting promoted again?

It's unfair, it's completely unfair.

Zhang Shuli was unwilling to give up, but in the end she didn't throw away the address in her hand and went back to her room.

From six o'clock to nine o'clock, Zhang Shuli struggled for three hours, but in the end, she still grabbed her bag and went out.

Fu Kexin shared a room with Zhang Shuli. Seeing that Zhang Shuli was going out so late, she couldn't help but ask her a question.

Zhang Shuli gave a perfunctory reply and left.

Fu Kexin knew Zhang Shuli well; her behavior just now was clearly a sign of guilt.

Moreover, Zhang Shuli's behavior was very urgent, as if something urgent had happened.

But this is Nancy, where she doesn't know many people. What urgent matter could she have?

Fu Kexin felt a little strange and worried. After all, he was someone who had given her a lot of warmth. She couldn't help but quietly follow him.

Fu Kexin's idea was that if there was a real emergency, she might be able to help.

She never expected that when she arrived at the destination, she would discover that Zhang Shuli was in such a hurry because she wanted to meet Hawke.

The two sat down to eat together, and Zhang Shuli's expression was very unpleasant.

Fu Kexin rarely saw such an expression on her face, but every time she did, it was because of Xu Manman.

She watched for a while, but being so far away, she couldn't hear what the two people were saying.

To avoid being discovered, Fu Kexin returned to her hotel first.

Along the way, with the wind blowing, she calmly considered many possibilities.

What could Zhang Shuli and Hawke possibly talk about? Right now, isn't the contract the most important thing?

To be honest, their contracts haven't been fully completed yet.

Could it be because of something that happened in the contract?

She couldn't understand why Zhang Shuli wanted to meet with Hawke.

In her view, even if she had a great hatred for Xu Manman, the interests of the country should take precedence over those of her family and country.

Even if we need to deal with Xu Manman, there are plenty of ways to do it later, but we absolutely cannot harm national interests.

Fu Kexin felt incredibly conflicted. Today, Zhang Shuli had taught her to be submissive to Durand, and she had lost all her respect for this person she had always regarded as an elder.

Thinking about her actions now, I can only feel that she had ill intentions.

Fu Kexin was also very hesitant and struggling, but after all, she was born into a revolutionary family and revolutionary ideology was deeply rooted in her.

She returned to the hotel and knocked on Xu Manman's door.

Xu Manman and Fei Huainan were both in the space, but they could hear the sounds outside.

She found it strange. After leaving the space with Fei Huainan and opening the door, she found Fu Kexin.

Fei Huainan frowned, and Fu Kexin knew that the other party did not like her at all, so she quickly spoke up.

"I have something to tell you, it's very important, about cooperation."

Fu Kexin was then able to enter Xu Manman's room.

She felt a little embarrassed, thinking about what she had done before, and felt ashamed.

But since we're already here, we should face it properly.

Fu Kexin first apologized to Xu Manman, and then reflected on her mistakes.

In truth, Fei Huainan never paid any attention to her, so it was just wishful thinking on her part.

Xu Manman raised an eyebrow. This girl, coming over in the middle of the night, could it be that she's here to write a self-criticism?

of course not.

After apologizing, Fu Kexin felt relieved and then started talking about Zhang Shuli.

She told Xu Manman about Zhang Shuli's meeting with Hawke, and then reminded her.

"I'm telling you all this just to warn you to be careful."

She was too far away to hear what the two were saying, so she could only give Xu Manman a heads-up.

Xu Manman was genuinely surprised. She had thought the other party was trying to play tricks during the apology, but now it seemed she had misunderstood.

But it makes sense, considering she is Fu Wenyu's niece and the Fu family has a patriotic background. No matter what happens, Fu Kexin has no traitorous thoughts.

Xu Manman's opinion of her changed quite a bit.

"Thank you for coming to remind me; this is very important to me."

Upon hearing this, Fu Kexin blushed. She hadn't expected Xu Manman to thank her.

Thinking about what happened today, she couldn't help but speak up.

"Your attitude toward Durand today has shown me that if you want to be respected, you have to be good enough yourself."

"Xu Manman, I will become just as excellent as you in the future."

Xu Manman was taken aback. Seeing Fu Kexin's firm words, she noticed a hint of unease in her eyes.

Putting aside her liking for Fei Huainan, she is also a delicate and sweet young girl.

Xu Manman spoke with a smile.

"I believe you are excellent."

A simple word of encouragement made Fu Kexin's eyes light up instantly.
