"It seems that we have to 'properly' entertain this Chief Li." Mou Xuan's voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to strike at Shen Yao's heartstrings.
Chen Yao raised her head, her eyes sparkling with wisdom, and she opened her red lips slightly: "Brother Xuan, I have asked the intelligence department to step up the collection of intelligence on the Li forces. Their leader, Li XX, is notoriously suspicious, greedy, and lustful. He is simply the apocalyptic version of the 'three-surname family slave'. I'm afraid we will have to 'bleed heavily' in this negotiation." As she spoke, she handed the tablet in her hand to Mou Xuan. The tablet was densely recorded with all kinds of information about the Li forces, even the color of underwear that Leader Li liked to wear was clearly known.
Mou Xuan took the tablet, glanced at it, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile: "Heavy bleeding? That may not be the case. Nowadays, who doesn't have some 'family-inherited' skills?" He gently pinched Chen Yao's face, the touch was delicate and smooth, he couldn't help but pinch it a few more times, "My Yaoyao is still amazing, this intelligence work is more professional than the FBI in the United States."
Chen Yao was a little embarrassed by his praise, her pretty face slightly red, and she glared at him in reproach: "Hateful, so frivolous again! But, Brother Xuan, I always feel that this Li faction is not simple, so we should be careful."
Mou Xuan nodded. What kind of storms haven’t we seen?
Can the Li faction alone really turn the world upside down? ”
The two smiled at each other. The trust and love in each other's eyes seemed to be able to melt the ice of the end of the world.
On the day of the negotiations, the atmosphere in the reception hall of the alliance base was solemn and dignified.
Ceremonial officer Zou, dressed in a neat suit, stood at the door with a meticulous smile on his face, welcoming Li Shili and his entourage who had come from afar.
He strictly followed the league's etiquette standards, and every move was precise, striving to show the league's strength and confidence.
However, when Li's team arrived, the scene suddenly became a little awkward.
Yu, a burly man who served as Li's attendant, frowned and showed an unhappy look on his face when he saw the right hand extended by Zou, the etiquette officer.
He pushed the etiquette officer Zou away and shouted, "What kind of broken rules is this? In our Li faction, when we welcome distinguished guests, we always perform the 'hug waist ceremony'! Are you looking down on our leader?"
His voice was rough and loud, echoing in the reception hall like thunder, making people's eardrums buzz.
Ceremonial officer Zou was pushed by him and staggered, almost falling down, with an expression of surprise and anger on his face.
He never expected that the etiquette he had carefully prepared would be treated so rudely.
The alliance members around them also showed dissatisfaction, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and a conflict seemed to be imminent.
Just then, Mou Xuan appeared at the door of the reception hall.
He had an upright posture, extraordinary bearing, and a faint smile on his face, as if everything was under control.
"Attendant Yu, please be patient." Mou Xuan's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. "I know that you, the Li faction, have the custom of 'hugging the waist'. This is the highest courtesy for distinguished guests. However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since you have come to our alliance's territory, you should respect our etiquette."
He paused, walked to Yu Attendant, bent down slightly, stretched out his right hand, and gently hugged Yu Attendant's waist in a standard "waist hug" posture, then quickly let go and said with a smile: "This way, we can express our respect for Chief Li without breaking the rules of our alliance. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Mou Xuan's move was beyond everyone's expectations.
Servant Yu stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react for a moment.
He originally thought that Mou Xuan would be furious, but he didn't expect that he would be so "aware of the current situation" and take the initiative to show goodwill to them.
The people from Li's faction also showed expressions of surprise. When they looked at Mou Xuan, there was less hostility and more admiration in their eyes.
The members of the alliance breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mou Xuan with admiration and pride.
Their leader was indeed a man of both wisdom and courage, able to resolve the crisis without any effort.
"Hahahaha, Alliance Leader Mou is indeed a rare talent with extraordinary bearing!" The voice of Li XX, the leader of the Li faction, came from the crowd. He was short and fat, wearing a gorgeous silk robe, with a hypocritical smile on his face. "It was just a small misunderstanding just now, Alliance Leader Mou don't mind it."
Mou Xuan smiled slightly and made a "please" gesture: "Chief Li, please come in."
At the negotiation table, both parties sat separately.
Li XX spoke first. His voice was sharp and piercing, like the sound of two rusty iron sheets rubbing against each other. "Alliance Leader Mou, we are both straightforward people. I won't beat around the bush. In this cooperation, my Li faction will account for 70% of the new energy revenue. In addition, your alliance will have to provide us with one million tons of food, 100,000 sets of protective clothing, and..."
He rattled off one demanding demand after another, as if he was opening his mouth like a lion, wanting to swallow up all the interests of the alliance.
Mou Xuan listened quietly, with no expression on his face.
Translator Luo sat next to Mou Xuan, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
While listening to Li XX's request, he quickly wrote it down on paper, fearing that he would miss any details.
When Li XX finally finished speaking, Translator Luo took a deep breath and translated Mou Xuan's words to the people of Li's faction in a trembling voice: "Chief Li, your request...excuse me, it is too greedy. Our alliance will never agree to such conditions."
