Hua Lao still felt that things were not that simple, "Have you received any news from the Ohsuga family recently? I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
"I'll send someone to find out!" Secretary Sun said and then arranged for someone to do it. Hua Lao sat alone, contemplating the purpose of the other party's actions today. Kuaishuge
Gu Jingyi saw that he had nothing to do and was about to start cooking. Yes, recently their meals were generally cooked by Gu Jingyi, mainly because they couldn't get used to the local eating habits, and it was better to be more careful when traveling.
They heard that people from other countries' delegations had diarrhea every day, but they were still healthy. Of course, this was also thanks to Ji Xingmi's efforts. Even other members of the delegation ate the pills prepared by Ji Xingmi. Hua Lao had them take them upon arrival, and they were distributed again later. Hua Lao had asked Spider to find Ji Xingmi at the Ji family's place when he left, and he would take back as many people as he brought out. Then, the special training by Auntie and Ji Xingmi played a crucial role for Gu Jingyi.
When Secretary Sun returned, he brought back some news. Leman was undergoing a transition, but the old president had not yet decided on the new president. Ohsuga Jun probably wanted to compete, so she set her sights on them. Among them, Gu Jingyi seemed the easiest to deal with.
Although Ohsuga Jun looked young and beautiful, she was actually in her thirties. Ohsuga Jun had secured many orders in the industry due to her beauty, and Leman's largest supplier had a very good relationship with her, which was also a reason for her competitiveness.
Another strong contender was Ohsuga Gui, the illegitimate son of Ohsuga Yayoi, whom she had brought back from outside in recent years. He was older than Ohsuga Jun and very capable. More importantly, he was dating the daughter of the Japanese Foreign Minister and was reportedly engaged, with the wedding to be held soon. This was probably Ohsuga Yayoi's biggest dilemma. Both had their own connections, and these people were indispensable to Leman.
Hua Lao looked at the documents in his hand and asked, "Are these the only two competing for this position?"
"Currently, these two are the most competitive, but privately, the Ohsuga family has constant conflicts. However, Ohsuga Yayoi does not want these matters to be publicized, so no news has been leaked."
"Who do you think it would be better for us to cooperate with?" Hua Lao asked Gu Jingyi, who was beside him and looking at the same documents.
"Ohsuga Gui is clearly leaning towards their government. Ohsuga Jun's methods are more aggressive. I don't think either of them is a good choice."
"Oh? You mean to cultivate someone new?"
Gu Jingyi shook his head and said, "Ohsuga Shinjin, I saw this name on the list of attendees for tomorrow's meeting. Is he also from the Ohsuga family?"
"Yes, but he is Ohsuga Yayoi's younger brother, the youngest son of Ohsuga Gensuke. It was said that Ohsuga Gensuke would give Leman to him, but this news faded away after Ohsuga Yayoi took over."
Hua Lao also recalled something he had heard a few years ago, "I heard about this when I visited a few years ago. Ohsuga Gensuke had just passed away then, and everyone said that Ohsuga Yayoi had a hand in it."
"Regardless, the fact that Ohsuga Shinjin appeared on this list is definitely not a coincidence."
"It seems he also wants a piece of the pie, but no matter what they think, we cannot let down our guard."
"Yes."
Gu Jingyi was still thinking about what had just happened, and Hua Lao naturally noticed it but did not disturb him. It was good for young people to think more, as he would have to face such matters in the future.
After discussing this matter, everyone prepared to wash up and rest. Tomorrow's meeting was very important, as it would affect the subsequent signing of contracts. They definitely needed a good rest to have the energy to face the bombardment from those people tomorrow.
The next day, Gu Jingyi got up early to prepare breakfast. Before Hua Lao departed, he took a pill prepared by Ji Xingmi. Gu Jingyi also had everyone take an antidote pill before setting off, just in case. Fortunately, Ji Xingmi was generous, and he gave Gu Jingyi quite a few more when he went back to pack his luggage.
Some people had objected before, but when they saw people in other delegations suffering from diarrhea for various reasons, and some were still bedridden, they had no complaints. Gu Jingyi also gave some to his Uncle Gu.
Some people on Uncle Gu's side had also experienced diarrhea. Fortunately, Gu Jingyi and his group arrived quickly, and Gu Jingyi's medicine was comprehensive, so no major trouble occurred. It was precisely because he feared they would experience such situations again that Gu Jingyi gave the medicine to Uncle Gu. Hua Lao and his group suspected that the Japanese side was behind it, but since there was no evidence, the matter was not brought up. The Japanese side's malice towards them was almost overt, but there was nothing they could do, which was why Gu Jingyi used those laxative pills.
