When Pu Sang learned that Xing Baohua was away on a business trip, he put the pressure on Wei Laisong.

The pressure is a bit high, but I can handle it.

With the arrival of Toyota, things have become a bit chaotic.

Mr. Zhang from the Volkswagen Santana company sent someone to find out what Toyota was doing there. Was it going to cooperate with Luzhong Automobile Factory again?

I'd heard before that Toyota was going to offer their Crown model in a collaboration with them? Back then, Xing Baohua didn't agree.

Other companies have tried to negotiate with Toyota, but nothing has come of it.

General Manager Zhang instructed his staff to keep a close eye on Toyota's movements. He also reported to his superiors, "Look at Luzhong Auto Factory! They haven't even produced a single decent car, yet they've attracted so many different models. And their own capabilities aren't up to par?"

Why not send someone to contact Toyota and see if we can redirect customers to other car companies? What if they're short of funds? We can ask Xing Baohua's factory to advance the money, and then repay them later.

The people of Poussin wrote a very long report and sent a special person to deliver it.

Xing Baohua knew nothing of this mess; he flicked his sleeves and ran off.

Wei Laisong was left with all the shameless and despicable things.

A few days later, a director surnamed Tang from the Automobile Bureau came down with three people from the mountain city to see Wei Laisong.

The three people from Chongqing are from Changan Automobile.

After Wei Laisong hosted them, both sides sat down and inquired about the situation.

The fact that the leaders of the Automobile Bureau came to inspect the site is all public knowledge, but it doesn't seem like that now!

Changan Automobile is involved here. What are they doing here?

Director Tang explained the situation and, without any hesitation, showed Wei Laisong a letter of recommendation.

Wei Laisong was furious; this was too much of a bullying.

That's what conjunctivitis is—you can't stand seeing others do better than you, right?

He has no real skills, all he does is sabotage you from behind! Fine, Poussin, I'll hold this grudge.

"Director Tang, I really don't know the specifics of Toyota's visit to the factory. They wanted to see Comrade Xing Baohua directly, so their timing wasn't ideal."

Comrade Xing Baohua's schedule is quite busy; he's already scheduled a meeting in the United States. As for Toyota selling new models or anything like that, I really don't know; they haven't said anything. How about this, I'll organize a meeting tonight, and you and the Toyota representatives can meet at the table," Wei Laisong began, trying to evade the question.

“Alright, but Comrade Wei Laisong, this is all for official business, so I hope you can help make this happen.” Director Tang smiled slightly, speaking with an air of official authority.

"Of course, of course!" Wei Laisong replied with a smile, then asked his secretary to arrange for them to go to the city guesthouse to rest.

After they left, Wei Laisong almost dropped the cup in his hand.

You've gone too far! If we don't teach you a lesson, you'll never know what's what!

You can't even talk to your superiors? Wei Laisong didn't have much power to defend himself, so he called his elders at home and told them that they were bullying him too much.

They also want Lu Zhong to help Chang'an connect with Toyota. Chang'an hasn't transferred the money, so why should they help them pay?

There's no such thing as a free lunch! Do they all think they're fools?

Superiors can be so domineering.

Wei Laisong's family expressed their understanding and told him to go for it, withstand the pressure, and that there was nothing to be afraid of.

That evening, the Toyota team and the director of the Automobile Bureau dined together at a city hotel restaurant.

Since one or two people at Toyota spoke broken Chinese, Wei Laisong didn't hire a translator.

But Director Tang was a little dissatisfied, saying that Wei Laisong lacked awareness. Regardless, we need to prepare; we can't keep relying on foreign translators to speak.

Wei Laisong was too lazy to explain. Actually, Toyota came in a hurry and was afraid we wouldn't have prepared a translator, so they brought their own.

When it came to Director Tang, it became a bit of a formality.

During the meal, I also asked Toyota about its main purpose.

Toyota suggested contacting Xing Baohua to see which Toyota model he was interested in, and that they could discuss the specifics.

This one sentence made the Automobile Bureau and the people of the mountain city happy.

There were frequent toasts and many polite words, but how much of it could be understood depended on those unreliable translators.

Especially when people from the mountain town offer a toast, they say things that are incomprehensible to their own people, so they have to rely on a Japanese translator.

They stared in disbelief, as if dumbfounded.

However, following up on what Toyota said, Director Tang mentioned that Changan Automobile wanted to introduce Toyota models and asked what they could offer.

No sooner had he said that than the Japanese changed the subject.

He said, "You all own many Toyota models. If you would like to learn more about them, please come and visit us in person. We will actively cooperate with your business trip to Japan."

Director Tang agreed. Talking all this time, without any pictures or detailed data, is completely pointless. It would be much better to go to the manufacturer, specify the model, and then discuss the details.

We should call Xing Baohua when the time comes. It's better for him to handle some things, and more importantly, he'll have to settle the bill.

Otherwise, who would have so much money?

Wei Laisong remained silent throughout the entire event. After the banquet concluded, Director Tang approached him and asked, "Could you get in touch with Comrade Xing Baohua?"

"Unsure? Why?" Wei Laisong asked.

“Look, this matter is quite urgent. Some things are just meant to be delayed. What I mean is, if Xing Baohua isn’t too busy, could we ask him to come back and assist with the cooperation between Toyota and Shancheng?” Director Tang said.

“I can’t decide, and I can’t control his schedule!” Wei Laisong said, and then tried to leave.

"Your words have no effect," Director Tang said in surprise.
