Chapter 262: Begging for Help
When Tanaka Ono heard what he said, he immediately said to him excitedly, "Director Lai may not know that I have met Comrade Li several times, and I was honored to see Comrade Li personally saving people. It was amazing."
After hearing what he said, Director Lai smiled and replied, "Really? It seems that Mr. Tanaka admires Comrade Li very much."
"It's more than just admiration. I also want to take Comrade Li as my teacher. I don't know if Comrade Li is unwilling to accept me as his disciple." Tanaka Ono looked at her embarrassedly and asked.
Li Yiyi glanced at him coldly and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't teach people from other countries, especially those from Country R."
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became cold.
Lai Shichang pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly, and soon showed an embarrassed smile, "Oh, it's time to eat today, don't talk about this, let's eat first."
Tanaka Ono lowered his head with a look of disappointment, but the two R-countrymen who came with him and sat next to him glared at Li Yiyi with hatred.
If they had not been asked by the president to ask this Mr. Li for help, they would never have tolerated a woman being so rude to their young president.
Li Yiyi could naturally feel the unfriendly looks from the other two people, but she was not afraid. This was China, and if these people dared to mess around, she would have to see if they had the ability to do so.
The tension at the dinner party was originally a bit tense, but thanks to the mediation of Director Lai, the tension at the dinner party was relieved a lot.
The young couple did not ask the purpose of inviting them over. Since the other party didn't tell them, they pretended not to know and ate and drank as usual.
It was not until the end of the dinner that Director Lai, who had been trying to persuade both parties, finally spoke up and told them the purpose of why he invited them here.
"Comrade Li, this is what's going on. These three are from Qianjin Corporation. They came here to ask me to make peace with you and to ask you to help treat their chairman, Mr. Ichiro Tanaka." Director Lai spoke about this matter with a faint smile on his face.
In fact, he didn't want to help this group of R countrymen, but the conditions they proposed were too tempting and too important to his country, so he had to put aside his disgust for their country and act as the persuader.
After hearing what he said, the young couple finally put down their chopsticks, looked at each other, and then looked up at Director Lai at the same time.
When Director Lai received the gazes from the couple, he knew that they must be cursing him to death in their hearts, probably still calling him a traitor.
He smiled helplessly at them, "I have no choice. I have to do my job. I will explain the reason to you two slowly after the dinner."
After hearing what he said, the young couple stopped staring at him.
"As far as I know, didn't your Qianjin Corporation steal a lot of Chinese medicine prescriptions from us? How come none of the prescriptions you stole can cure your president's illness?" She looked at the three of them with an expression of watching a good show.
Two of them heard her mocking words and glared at her with angry expressions on their faces.
But she was not afraid of their appearance. Who were they trying to scare? This was their Chinese territory.
And she was not wrong. Over the years, this group of R people, whether during the invasion or after the defeat, had robbed many precious Chinese prescriptions for themselves.
Tanaka Ono blushed as he explained, "Comrade Li, to be honest, although the prescriptions of our company are good, they cannot cure my father's illness. Comrade Li, please help my father."
"Since you have no solution, what can I do? You are asking the wrong person for help." Li Yiyi sneered.
When Tanaka Ono heard her refusal, he immediately said anxiously, "No, you can definitely do it. I believe that the only person in the world who can make my father better is probably you, Comrade Li. You can cure Comrade Wang Shuo and Mr. Li Weimin's mother's illness. Your doctor is the best. I believe in you."
When Li Yiyi heard what he said, she looked at him with a little surprise.
"I......" Before she could finish, Director Lai suddenly spoke before her and interrupted her.
"We will definitely help you if we can, don't worry." Director Lai said with a smile.
When Li Yiyi heard his answer for herself, she frowned and looked at him with a puzzled look.
When Director Lai noticed her gaze, he immediately gave her a secret look, indicating that she should wait until later if she had anything to say.
Seeing this, Li Yiyi had to swallow back the words of rejection that were on the tip of her tongue.
She wanted to see what Director Lai was up to.
When the two R countrymen, who had ugly expressions on their faces just now, heard his answer, they immediately showed a smile of superiority towards Li Yiyi.
Li Yiyi looked at the smiles on their faces and sneered secretly.
After waiting for the banquet to end, the couple waited for Director Lai to escort the three people from Country R out of the room. Li Yiyi immediately asked him, "Director Lai, I want to ask why you are helping those people from Country R?"
Director Lai smiled at the couple, then the smile slowly faded, and he sounded like he was gritting his teeth, "Actually, I know you all hate those people from Country R. I feel the same way as you do. I hate them as much as you do. Many of my grandfather's family were harmed by those people from Country R. I hate them to death."
"But compared with the country, my hatred is nothing. As long as it can make our country better and better, let alone let go of these hatreds, I can even sit down and have a meal with them." After a pause, he continued.
"But it seems I really did it." He told them both with a smile.
Li Yiyi and Jiang Hong looked at each other, and they both realized that they seemed to have misunderstood Director Lai just now.
"What benefits did they give me to help treat Tanaka Ichiro?" Li Yiyi asked calmly after calming down her excitement.
Director Lai smiled and drank a cup of tea. After a while, he slowly said with a smile, "They will be willing to give us back half of the prescriptions they snatched back from China."
When Li Yiyi heard this, she suddenly stopped playing with the teacup and looked at Director Lai with a little surprise.
"Could it be a trap? After all, these R people are very cunning." Jiang Hong said cautiously.
