Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 936 Vice Admiral Sander

When Li Yi and others arrived at the banquet hall, the dinner party had already begun.

Seeing this, Li Yi originally planned not to go in.

But just when he turned around and was about to leave, he was stopped by Director Han Zhenqiang who followed him: "Comrade Li Yi, please wait a moment, where are you going?"

"The meeting is over, I plan to go home!" Li Yi said truthfully.

"Let's wait. I saw that the faces of those people were not very good just now. I'm worried that there will be trouble later!" Han Zhenqiang said.

Li Yi thought about it. Judging from the demeanor and quality shown by those guys, they were indeed average. They might actually lodge some protests with the diplomatic department or something.

If I leave now, Director Han, Shen Fangzheng and others will indeed be very passive.

At that moment, he nodded and said, "In that case, I'll stay a little longer!"

"Thank you for your understanding, please come in!"

With that said, Han Zhenqiang personally opened the door of the banquet hall for Li Yi and invited him and Liang Bing in.

Li Yi didn't show any pretense and strode in immediately.

Seeing Li Yi and others coming in, Shen Fangzheng, who was in charge of reception in the banquet hall, immediately came up to them, and then led Li Yi and Liang Bing to a table on the right side, indicating that they should sit here.

After sitting down, Li Yi was able to take a look at the situation in the banquet hall.

In fact, Li Yi had attended the state banquet in his previous life, but the standard was average. At that time, it was just a banquet hosted by relevant departments for successful businessmen like them before the opening of an economic forum. The top leaders who attended were only senior cadres.

But today was completely different. At the front table, Li Yi not only saw the famous female prime minister, but also the cabinet leaders and several big shots in the cabinet.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just in terms of the specifications of this state banquet, it is really extraordinary.

After a casual glance, Li Yi looked back, and then concentrated on the state banquet food in front of him.

I have to say that the level of the chef at the state banquet is really unparalleled. The dish of boiled cabbage served at the state banquet left a very deep impression on him.

Although he later had this dish in other places, the chefs outside could never make it taste the same.

In addition, he was indeed a little hungry now, so he started to feast even under the strange looks in everyone's eyes.

The reason why it is said to be a strange look is that other people's eyes are now focused on the leaders in front, especially at this time when the cabinet leaders are still making speeches. Eating at this time is somewhat disrespectful, so it seems that Li Yi is like an alien.

When Liang Bing saw this, he immediately quietly pulled Li Yi's sleeve, telling him to pay attention to the impact.

However, Li Yi didn't care at all. Instead, he put a roasted golden lamb rib on Liang Bing's plate.

Now not only Li Yi became an outlier, but Liang Bing also became the focus of attention from others at the same table, which made her face turn red instantly.

"You...can't you restrain yourself? This is a state banquet!" Liang Bing whispered.

"What's wrong with the state banquet? It's not a place to eat!"

"Uh...then we have to pay attention to the impact. Look at what other people think of us!"

"No matter what they think of us, we can't lose a piece of meat!"

Then Li Yi said again: "Besides, you are not active in eating and have brain problems. What do you have to argue with a group of patients?"

When he said this, Liang Bing suddenly burst into laughter.

The small actions of the two of them once again attracted the attention of others, and strange expressions suddenly appeared on everyone's faces, including confusion, disgust, and contempt. . .

Li Yi didn't care at all about everyone's eyes.

On the one hand, these people were all strangers whom he did not know. Li Yi didn't care at all about how these people viewed him.

On the other hand, as a person in his two lives, he has long understood everything about face and status. In front of his wife, children and relatives, these things are nothing.

There is no need to fight or compare with others for these things. Fighting and comparing is the source of pain and loss!

As soon as the leader's speech over there ended, the cabinet leader signaled that everyone could move around freely, and the atmosphere in the hall quickly became lively.

In fact, the state banquet is not as serious as everyone thinks. After the process is completed, the leaders usually leave, and the remaining time is mostly free to move around. At this time, Li Yi had almost eaten.

Just when he was bored and thinking about when he could go home to spend time with his wife and baby, he saw the Vice Admiral who had just been talking to him coming up behind him with a smile on his face and a wine glass in hand.

"Li, we meet again!"

Liang Bing on the side was about to translate, but was stopped by Li Yi. He said in fluent International dialect: "General, if you want to continue the topic just now, I can only say sorry!"

"Li, you misunderstood. I came to you just to deliver a message to you on behalf of my brother!"

"Your brother, a message?"

"Haha, my brother's name is Sandy, and I'm his brother Sander. George."

Hearing this, Li Yi's expression was obviously stunned.

He had known before that Sandy had an older brother who served in the army, and his position was not low, but he didn't inquire too much about it.

Unexpectedly, Sandy's brother turned out to be a lieutenant general, and he didn't expect that he was also one of the visiting representatives!

But Li Yi soon came to his senses, and then asked: "What message did Sandy ask you to bring me?"

Sander smiled and said: "He asked me to tell you that there is no need to worry about the company's affairs. With him in the government, we don't dare to go too far!"

Li Yi looked at him with a half-smile, and then said: "I don't know if this was just what Sandy said, or is this also what your George family meant?"

"Does it make a difference?"

"It really makes no difference. I don't plan to sell the company's equity anyway!" Li Yi said.

"Sure enough, it was just as Sandy expected. He said that you would not give in like No. 10 Lattie Street. Moreover, he also asked me not to get involved in this matter, saying that it would be a terrible thing if I angered you!" Xander said with a smile.

Li Yi raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "It seems that you listened to Sandy's words!"

"No, I just don't want the family's interests to be harmed!"

Sander really meant what he said. Even though his family only retains 5% of the shares of Sheffield Steel Company, due to the continuous increase in the company's stock price during this period, their family's assets have also doubled in a short period of time. More than enough.

Furthermore, a few months ago, his younger brother Sandy, reminded by the young man in front of him, went all-out to be long on international currencies. This investment directly made the family a huge profit of 3 million international currencies.

Now not only his brother Sandy has great trust in Li Yi, but his father George Sr. is also full of praise for this young man.

Sander knew very well that the interests of the George family were now deeply bound to the young man in front of him. Dealing with Li Yi would also damage the family's interests.

"Anyway, you made the right choice!" Li Yi said with a smile.

Sander nodded, and then said again: "You don't have to worry about the steel company. The government will not interfere in commercial matters at will."

"But you must pay attention to the matter of the Yunguo Chamber of Commerce. Someone is secretly pushing the parliament to investigate this organization, and the current results seem to be very unfavorable to you."

Li Yi was silent for a moment, and then said: "I understand, thanks for the reminder!"

Sander smiled, then raised the wine glass in his hand, and then said to Li Yi: "cheers!"

Li Yi also clinked the glass with him and drank all the red wine in the glass.

After clinking glasses, Xander left with a smile.

After watching Sander leave, Li Yi turned around.

Just when he was about to sit down, he saw Liang Bing looking at him with a complicated expression. In addition to surprise, Li Yi also saw a trace of fear in his eyes. . .
