Chapter 654 - A New Business Deal (1/2)

There were three people in the office Xia Lei knew Philip and his assistant, Alida, but he never would have guessed who the third person would be It was Sylvia ー the European equivalent of Szla had changed about her Her wine-red hair was pulled into a simple ponytail, which paired beautifully with her refined, Eastern features She was so beautiful she could’ve been mistaken for a doll

This extraordinary red-haired wo his second visit to Gerain, Mr Xia” Sylvia smiled as she took the initiative to extend her arm for a handshake “How have you been?”

Xia Lei snapped out of his daydrea the smile with his own He replied in Ger well Welcome to China” He paused, then continued, “Rest assured You’re no longer in Gers, terrorist attacks, or persecution either”

Everything he had said was, in fact, what the Gerreard He was standing here as a representative of the Ger all that in front of Philip wasit difficult for him to broach the subject he wanted to discuss

“Mr Xia, I aain” Whatever he felt, Philip still put on a polite face, greeted Xia Lei, and also shook hands with him

Xia Lei invited the three Ger pleasantries

Liu Zhengnan made coffee for the three Germans, and tea for Xia Lei Xia Lei hadn’t recruited any secretaries, so his assistant had assumed these responsibilities as well

“Have the human resources department recruit a secretary,” said Xia Lei In the past, he never thought there was anything wrong with letting Liu Zhengnan do these things, but he was Xia Xue’s boyfriend now, and a potential brother-in-law He felt it was no longer appropriate to nan was very attentive to Xia Lei’s worries, and he said softly, “It’s fine, Brother, but you should definitely recruit a secretary I’ll talk to the human resources department and let them pick a suitable one for you Do you have any particular requirements?”

“I don’t really have any requireood work ethic and can speak a foreign language,” said Xia Lei

Liu Zhengnan left with Xia Lei’s description in ht to business after his assistant left “What brings you three here?”

“Hehe, so it’s like this” Philip sht Sylvia over for an inspection and technology exchange”

“An inspection and technology exchange?” Xia Lei’s gaze went to Sylvia “Just you?”

Sylvia nodded “Mm, just me”

Xia Lei sht? I never received any sort of official invitation fro to waltz in and do an inspection and technology exchange Did I ever agree to this? It wouldn’t pan out even if I agreed, anyway The higher-ups need to approve it too”

Thunder Horse Military Factory was hoies, and a substantial amount of the equipment found on-site were classified h-level authorisation in order to send a representative over to inspect the place Even if Xia Lei was the director of Thunder Horse Military Factory, he did not have the authority to allow their plan

“Well…” Sylvia looked at Philip

Philip quickly glanced at Alida, who took out a file from her briefcase, and delivered it to Xia Lei with both hands

Xia Lei looked over the file and furrowed his brow The person who had signed the docu Sylvia to enter Thunder Horse Military Factory was actually Yu Shanhe He had the power to authorise this However, the actual contents of the docu else written in it other than the permission for Sylvia to coes

‘This is strange Even if Yu Shanhe wanted to mess withammunitions supplier to send people over so that they could learn fro out our country Could the higher-ups have reached a business deal with the Gerht Xia Lei to himself

“You see, Mr Xia, we’ve already obtained their approval So noe’d like you to cooperate with us in this very fortunate occurrence,” said Philip

“Fortunate? Heh, I don’t believe this is ‘fortunate’ at all And even if Yu Shanhe agreed, I haven’t Thunder Horse Military Factory isto liness crept onto Philip’s face

Sylvia was also anxious “Mr Xia, I know you took what happened in Ger to do withring ring, ring ring ring…

Sylvia was interrupted by Xia Lei’s ringtone

Xia Lei checked his phone and walked towards the door He answered the phone when he got to the doorway

“Xia Lei, the Ger’s voice ca?” Xia Lei cut straight to the chase “I saw the docuned, but it didn’t outline the reason why they were allowed Sylvia is Gerineer, and she represents Rheinmetall AG, which is more powerful than any other German military company Do you understand the importance of this matter?” said Xia Lei

“Of course I understand I called to tell you why this is happening You saw that Yu Shanhe was the one who signed the docuht, but he wasn’t necessarily the one who finalised the deal,” said Tang Tianlong
