Back at the hotel, Zhu Fanfan found her godfather and told him directly, "I got the invitation to the exchange meeting and I should be able to get it. I also need to pick up food tonight. Godfather, could you tell Uncle Yu to cover for me?"
Ming Yunshu replied, "We also contacted those companies today. The director's tone was quite humble and his attitude was quite low, so they lowered their guard against us a bit. Tonight, take a few people to get the food. Tomorrow, they might not need to use such childish tactics."
We gave them enough face, but they still looked down on us and said there was no rush for cooperation. Of course, they weren't in a hurry. Their goal was to take the person away. Once the person was taken away, the relationship would fall apart, and there would be no possibility of cooperation. However, they were really easy to fool. We just lowered our stance and they felt that victory was in their grasp. They were completely controlled by the director.
A girl carrying several hundred pounds in her left and right hands and on her back. Fanfan has never done any work at home. He can't let a girl like her be used like a beast of burden outside. Just looking at those three backpacks makes his back feel bent. He'll be heartbroken if Uncle Zhu knew that his beloved granddaughter was doing all this.
Zhu Fanfan said again, "Godfather, I need your help."
Ming Yunshu was puzzled: "Do you need my help?"
It wasn't that he was blindly confident; it was because Uncle Zhu had told him about Fanfan's past achievements, and that she didn't need any help at all.
Zhu Fanfan said coquettishly, "Your Ministry of Foreign Affairs must know which companies in the surrounding cities are more famous and which discriminate against us more."
Ming Yunshu asked directly, "What do you want to do?"
Zhu Fanfan didn't hide anything: "I have a friend with amazing superpowers. He wants to buy some equipment that doesn't require capital and donate it to the country, but he's struggling to find a way to approach which company to target."
Ming Yunshu: ...You really don't treat your godfather like an outsider.
Looking at her goddaughter's coquettish expression, she only asked one question: "Are you sure your friend can move those devices? Which devices are quite large, and have surveillance cameras inside, and some even have traps and far-infrared sensors, making them very difficult to move?"
Zhu Fanfan patted his chest and guaranteed, "Absolutely no problem."
Ming Yunshu hesitated to make a decision: "I'll go and discuss it with the director. This is no small matter."
After the father and son went to find Yu Zhiyuan and made their demands, Yu Zhiyuan could only give them a fake smile: "Why don't you two just fly to the moon? Give me back the information. I didn't plant any people here, where would I get the information?"
Ming Yunshu maintained his smile: "You are the minister's capable subordinate."
Yu Zhiyuan retorted, "You are also the minister's capable subordinate."
Ming Yunshu retorted, "I'm still a step behind. You're the director, and I'm the deputy director. There are some secrets that you know but I don't. Leave professional matters to professionals. I know you must know."
Yu Zhiyuan said irritably, "Are you trying to tell me a joke? I don't know."
These two rascals are obviously up to no good, and he's not going to be the scapegoat. If things go wrong, it could cause diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
Ming Yunshu smiled gently: "Director, you think about it this way. The equipment we bought from abroad cost a lot of money, and it was all outdated equipment. We spent a lot of money to repair many of them. But the price we paid for those old equipment was higher than the price of new equipment. We all know this, but we have no choice. Domestic instruments and equipment cannot achieve that level of precision. We can only swallow this loss. Are you willing to accept this?"
Yu Zhiyuan softened his tone: "There's nothing we can do, our industrial development is really lagging behind."
Ming Yunshu pressed on: "There must be people here who have cheated us before. We're just retaliating in kind. It's called tit for tat. Besides, you just need to have someone take us around and accidentally lead us to our former business partner's place, then we can leave and nothing will have happened, right?"
Yu Zhiyuan looked at Ming Yunshu, knowing that this man never did anything he wasn't sure of. Since he had brought it up, it meant he was absolutely certain: "Let me think about it."
Ming Yunshu didn't force her, after all, the director bore the main responsibility. He took Zhu Fanfan away, and they went to Zhu Fanfan's room together. He comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll get the information tonight."
Zhu Fanfan asked doubtfully, "You only exchanged a few words with Uncle Yu before making a decision?" He didn't seem like someone who could agree to such a thing.
Ming Yunshu assured him, “Don’t worry, I’ve worked with your Uncle Yu for so many years and I know his temperament. If he hesitates, things are already more than half done. But it’s okay if he goes back on his word. And there’s Xiao Zhao. He’s been here on business trips and he hates these foreigners. He’s easy to fool.”
Zhu Fanfan was skeptical, but Ming Yunshu said, "Telling you that Uncle Yu is mainly looking for someone to share the risk, your grandfather and I can handle things back home. But here, it's a foreign country, and it's not convenient to do anything. Although your Uncle Yu is only a few years older than me, he has a wide network of connections."
He handled his position as deputy director very well, but his promotion was somewhat lucky, unlike Director Yu who earned his position through his own hard work. However, Director Yu also has a powerful background, so he couldn't handle the tasks that Director Yu could handle.
Just as Zhu Fanfan was getting bored, someone knocked on the door. It was Yu Zhiyuan, followed by Xiao Zhao. After exchanging greetings, Yu Zhiyuan got straight to the point: "If we provide the information, how will we divide the equipment we receive?"
Zhu Fanfan: "What? How do we divide it?"
Yu Zhiyuan said, "We can show them the terrain and give them detailed information. Although we also don't like these people, every goose leaves a trace. We don't have any connections here, so no matter how carefully we do it, we can't completely erase the traces. We've also taken a risk, so the percentage we get can't be too low."
He thought it over and over, fearing that the person who wanted to cooperate with Yunshu might change. As long as they were Chinese and their actions wouldn't harm China's interests, providing some information wouldn't be a problem. Their country needed advanced equipment right now, and if the other party took the equipment, they could sell it to anyone else anyway, so they might as well sell it to them.
Ming Yunshu didn't know how to divide it either, so he looked at Zhu Fanfan. Zhu Fanfan had no choice but to say, "Donate it to the country free of charge, and we will also help transport it to the capital. There is only one condition: don't let anyone know that he did it."
Yu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He had been judging others by his own petty standards. Western countries were still imposing technological blockades on them. Any patriot would want to contribute to the country. With Yun Shu vouching for him, he still suspected something was amiss. It was so wrong of him.
Moved, Yu Zhiyuan said, "We certainly won't let patriots down. I will apply to higher authorities to give them an award later, but I don't know their name."
Zhu Fanfan ultimately left behind three words: "Don't ask about the future."
