After Qin Shi sent Wanli and General Long Fei away, he slept for a while and then received an email notification from Congress.

After all, when it comes to foreign wars, China's position will not change. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will severely condemn the slander. China has never participated in international wars.

However, the relevant domestic manufacturers must immediately stop external sales. In view of the suggestion of Team Leader Qin, the manufacturers will be exempted from punishment and can resume production immediately.

The meaning of Congress was very clear. It was not easy to announce this matter to the public, so it had to be dealt with internally. Qin Shi also contacted the three factory directors and called the relevant leaders of Yun Province to resume production, but the foreign trade matter was terminated.

Although they had lost their connection to foreign trade, the three factory managers were thankful that they had not received any punishment. Qin Shi also specifically instructed that the province allocate some projects to allow the three companies to have a smooth transition.

The matter was settled, and Generals Wanli and Long Fei also asked Qin Shi to go out.

"Team Leader, the scenery in Yun Province is still very beautiful. You have been busy these days. Let's go out for a walk today!"

"Yeah, Boss, working all day or staying cooped up in the house is not good for your health!"

Long Fei will act as a tour guide, and Wanli will act as a follower, serving Qin Shi for a day.

Qin Shizi discovered the difference between the two. Wanli didn't care about work and was usually careless, but General Long Fei would rush forward when he saw the credit.

Today, the two of them didn't mention work at all, but just took Qin Shi to travel around, which was obviously abnormal.

After finally returning to the hotel at night, Qin Shi kept the two of them.

"I say, you two, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Wanli and Long Fei looked at each other, both wanting the other to speak first.

"Wanli, tell me!" Qin Shi probably guessed something.

"Boss, it's nothing. It's just about the water pump. We've basically investigated it."

“Oh, is it produced and sold in our country?”

"Yes, but..." Wanli stammered and looked at General Long Fei.

"Team leader, it's like this. We produced the water pumps, but we don't have the final say on what Israel does with them. It's just like the gas tank factory. We just produce them, but how would we know what they do with them?"

"That's right. So, it's completely meaningless for the international community to pin this crime on us. In my opinion, we should just handle it the same way as those three companies did and simply deny it to the public!"

"That's right, we can't fight ourselves, right? Just write a report and it will be over!"

The two of them agreed to define the matter directly. As long as Qin Shi wrote a report according to their statements and did not admit it to the outside world, the matter would not be considered a big deal.

"Nonsense! Even if that small business knew about this and was deceiving itself just to make a living, it's still wrong. We'll make an assessment based on the actual circumstances. But in this case, there's not even an export bill. How can this be? Isn't this clearly smuggling?"

Qin Shi was not angry about how others used Chinese products, but how could something normally exported from China have no export documents! This was obviously a secret operation.

"Boss, there's no need to be so serious about this. We usually have receipts, but this time there were some foreign favors involved, so we just evaded it a bit!"

"Yes, Team Leader, there are always some special cases that require special treatment. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology doesn't want to get involved, so why should we get involved in this mess?"

"This isn't a question of whether or not to get involved. We must first get to the bottom of the matter and then make a judgment based on the circumstances. You're being very unprincipled. Who's behind this? Tell us!"

"Boss..."

"Team Leader..."

"From the moment Minister Tie approached me, I knew it wasn't that they couldn't find out, they just didn't want to offend anyone. Tell me the truth, I want to hear it!"

Wanli and Long Fei were silent for a moment, then looked at each other. Wanli couldn't help but speak directly.

"Just tell me. Actually, this matter is not complicated. You will know after making a few phone calls. The person behind the operation is Hu Maocai from the Hu family, who is also Hu Madu's cousin and the son of Minister Hu Tu of the Ministry of Commerce!" Wan Li told the truth directly.

"That's right. Hu Maocai isn't in politics, he's been in business. He controls a large portion of China's foreign trade. This batch of goods was also taken from Hu Maocai by foreign forces through favors. But Hu Maocai also knew that it would damage China's reputation, so he contacted the customs and didn't issue an export order!"

"Humaocai? Humadu's cousin? Hutu's son?"

"He's not a biological son, but an adopted one. However, only a few people know about this. Hutu didn't have any children after marriage, so he adopted one and treated him as his own. Even though he later had a daughter, he still loved this son very much."

"After all, he's not from the Hu family. The Hu family didn't let him get involved in politics, but directly let him go into business. Everyone knows these things."

"It's just a small matter, why can't you just say it directly? Why are you still hesitating? What's the point?" Qin Shi couldn't understand why the two of them were covering up for him. This shouldn't be such a big deal! Wouldn't it be better to just explain it clearly?

"Because... because there's another person involved here..."

"Who else? Is there anyone with more power and background than Hu Maocai?"

"Yes, this man is called Zhang Zizai!"

"Zhang Zizai?" Qin Shi felt that the name was very familiar.

"Yes, this person is a representative of Congress. Although he is not a member of Congress, he has worked in Congress for a long time. I told you about the surname Zhang!"

"Are you talking about the Zhang family's administration?" Qin Shi looked at Wanli.

"Yes, although we are all descendants of the eight major families, the competition is also very fierce. The Zhang family, which is in power, has only one son, so we still have to give in on some things."

Qin Shi remembered who Zhang Zizai was. Among the documents issued by Congress, some were delivered via email, and among them was Zhang Zizai's name. However, Qin Shi did not know this person and thought he was just a staff member of Congress. It seemed that he was another royal relative.

"You mean, behind Hu Maocai is Zhang Zizai, so what can't be said?"

"Boss, we dare not offend Zhang Zizai. He has a lot of say in Congress. Even the heads of various departments dare not offend him. Otherwise, Minister Tie would not have thrown this matter to us!"

"In fact, we have already investigated clearly. We bought a hundred or so water pumps. We are not doing it for profit. It's just that China has some dealings with Israel. They want them, but we can't give them openly, so we can only do it privately!"

Qin Shi understood that although the matter was not big, it was very tricky. Even though Hu Maocai had a strong background, there was also Zhang Zizai behind him. What was even more terrifying was that there was also the National Congress behind him, and this person's surname was Zhang...

Is it true that there are no fish in clear water?

What should I do?

Qin Shi’s brows furrowed!
