Chapter 1275 (1/2)
”She is not only weaker than I imagined, but also stronger than I imagined. There is no contradiction between the two. To be honest, I think I have moved my true feelings for her. If I can't hear her voice, I will miss her. But now I just want to protect her and fear that she will be hurt again.”
Li Qing said, gently holding the tea cup on the table, lowered his head and said nothing.
”Mr. Li really has a true temperament.” Jiang Junming broke the silence in the teahouse with a smile. ”It's lucky that that woman can get your favor.”
Li Qing smiled with a special color at the bottom of his eyes, but he didn't speak. In his opinion, the lucky man should be himself.
”You talk slowly, I won't bother.” Lu Yun leaned slightly, pulled a stiff smile from the corners of her lips, and then got up and walked out slowly. She pulled open the sliding door and went out. She glanced back at Li Qing, then closed the sliding door and left.
Jiang Junming keenly felt that Lu Yun's mood seemed to be a little wrong. He couldn't help but have deep doubts at the bottom of his eyes, but he thought it was a little woman's move caused by Li Qing's words, and didn't think about the connection.
Taking back his eyes from the door, Jiang Junming turned to Li Qing. He opened his mouth and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Li Qing took the lead in saying, ”young master Jiang, let's talk about business.”
”Ah, good, good.” Jiang Junming nodded with a dry smile.
Li Qing picked up the tea cup and put it to his lips. The slightly hot tea went into his throat. The tea fragrance spread all over his body with the temperature. It was very comfortable. He had already felt Jiang Junming's doubts, so he didn't dare to talk more about his feelings. After all, much is lost. Once Jiang Jun clearly sees the clue, the consequences will be very bad.
This time, the secret talk with Jiang Junming focused on the way and place of delivery. It took almost no effort. The two reached an agreement.
The transaction time of the first batch of arms is scheduled for March 18. Li Qing is responsible for completing the handover of the cargo to the designated area 100 to 200 nautical miles southeast of Jinjiao port, Mingtai. This sea area is still the exclusive economic zone of the Chinese Empire, but it does not belong to the territory. In addition, it is close to Jinjiao port where Qian Liming's forces are concentrated, so it can minimize risks.
After completing the delivery, the money will be cleared immediately. Li Qing does not need to bear any responsibility for where the next batch of goods will be transported by the Jiang family and what will happen.
The tea room was filled with fragrance. Li Qing looked at Jiang Junming opposite and nodded gently: ”at 1 a.m. on March 18, my ship will set sail from Wangjun port on time. When it turns santaikou, it will be about 4 a.m. at that time, you should tell me the exact location in order to determine the next direction.”
”Don't worry, Mr. Li.” Jiang Junming answered and then explained, ”for the sake of safety, the exact place of delivery will be notified temporarily every time. This is the rule set by my father. It has never been wrong for so many years, but also for everyone's safety. I don't believe Li Xiansheng. Please be considerate.”
”It's a good thing to be cautious. I also hope that the first cooperation can be smooth and try not to cause trouble.”
Jiang Junming breathed a sigh of relief and continued: ”because my father is old and inconvenient, I will be present at the fair.”
”Well,” Li Qing nodded, ”in order to ensure the normal transaction, I will escort the goods myself.”
The voice fell, and Li Qing stretched out his hand to Jiang Junming. He suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Junming's injured right arm. He was embarrassed and took his hand back. He said with a smile: ”young master Jiang is inconvenient. Forget it.”
Jiang Junming laughed: ”ha ha ha, but please rest assured, Mr. Li, my little injury will never affect the smooth progress of this transaction.”
Li Qing intended to mention the Qi family by the way to test Jiang Junming. However, he thought that taking this injury as a guide would certainly involve the attack on Qi Jiacheng outside the Jiang family. Finally, he pointed the spearhead at himself, so he gave it up. He just needs to know that the relationship between the Jiang family and the Qi family has become very bad. There is no need to explore how bad it is.
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door outside, followed by Lu Yun's gentle voice: ”Junming, have you finished talking with Master Li?”
Jiang Junming frowned and turned his head and asked, ”what's the matter?”
”It's time for lunch.”
Jiang Junming looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 12 o'clock at noon. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said, ”it's really noon. Fortunately, Xiaoyun came to remind me.”
Lu Yun gently pulled open the sliding door and stood at the door of the teahouse. Ying Ying said with a smile, ”no matter how important things are, you always have to eat. If there's anything else, talk after dinner.”
”It's over.” Li Qing grinned. ”Thanks to his wife's reminder, otherwise young master Jiang will starve to death in the teahouse today.”
”Ha ha, I'm sorry to neglect Mr. Li.” Jiang Junming made an invitation gesture, ”let's go to dinner first. I asked Xiaoyun to prepare early in the morning to entertain Mr. Li.”
”Thanks a lot.” Li Qing got up, smiled and looked at Lu Yun, and then walked to the restaurant with Jiang Junming
At the dinner table, Li Qing praised Lu Yun's cooking and ate two bowls of white rice. Several people talked and laughed at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After lunch, Li Qing sat for a while and was ready to leave.
”I have something else to do. I'll leave first.” Li Qing stood up from his chair and nodded slightly to Lu Yun and Jiang Junming. ”Thank you for your hospitality.”
