“Bro, have you heard? That German girl was raped.”

“兄弟，你知道吗？听说那个德国妞被强奸了。”

“Everyone’s talking about this now, so how could I not have heard? It’s a pity that an awesome German girl like her was defiled by a pig.”

“现在都在议论这件事，我还能没听说吗？可惜呀，那么正点的一个德国妞被猪给糟蹋了。”

“Yeah right. I daresay she’s the prettiest girl I’ve met just from the looks of her body and face. A girl like her should be given to our Director Xia to enjoy. How could she have gotten defiled by that pig surnamed Song?”

“可不是，就那个德国妞的身材和脸蛋，我敢说他是我见过的最漂亮的女人。这种极品女人，她就应该给我们夏董享用，怎么能被那个姓宋的猪头给糟蹋了呢？”

“That pig named Song sure had guts. He was so outrageously lustful but did he not think of the consequences?”

“那个姓宋的猪头也太胆大了，简直是色胆包天，他就没有想过这么做的后果吗？”

“Who told him to be a government official? Since he dared do it, he isn’t afraid of that German girl causing trouble. Let’s see, I bet this matter won’t come to anything and at the most, he’ll just have to pay up with some money.”

“谁让人家是官呢？人家敢这么做就不怕那个德国妞闹事。看着吧，我敢打赌这件事会不了了之，最多也只是赔钱了事。”

“If it’s like that, then it’s not fair.”

“真要是这样的话那就太不公平了。”

“Since when has this world been fair? Fairness has always been fought for with fists. Brother, learn a little more, you’re still young.”

“这个世界上什么时候有过公平，公平从来都是用拳头争取的。兄弟，学着点吧，你还年轻。”

“Come on, aren’t you just a few years older than me? What’re you bragging about?”

“去，你不就比我大几岁吗？吹什么牛逼。”

“Look, whose car is that?”

“你们看那是谁的车来了？”

“It’s a Hongqi car with a red license plate. Do you still need to ask? A big leader must have come.”

“挂着红色牌子的红旗轿车，还用问吗？一定是某一个大领导来了。”

A Hongqi car drove into Thunder Horse Military Factory amidst the workers’ discussion. It didn’t go to the office, instead heading straight for the office building.

在一群工人的议论中，一辆红旗轿车驶进了的雷马军工厂大门。它没有去停车场，直接开到了办公楼下。

The car door opened and Zongzheng Wukui got off. His skinny face was expressionless.

车门打开，宗正武魁从车上走了下来。他的脸还是那么清瘦，没有一丝表情。

When Zongzheng Wukui got off the car, Ling Han and Song Baicheng walked out from the office building.

宗正武魁刚下车，凌浩和宋百成就从办公楼里面走了出来。

Song Baicheng’s face was full of shame. “Boss, sorry, I…”

宋百成一脸的羞愧，“老总，对不起，我……”

Before Song Baicheng could finish his worlds, Zongzheng Wukui suddenly slapped him. A smack sounded and Song Baicheng staggered back, blood forming at the corners of his mouth. He covered his slapped face, not daring to utter another sound.

没等宋百成把话说完，宗正武魁忽然一巴掌抽在了他的脸上。啪一声脆响，宋百成被抽了一个踉跄，嘴角上也多了一丝鲜血。他捂着被抽的脸，不敢再吭一声。

“Boss, he got into a trap so this isn’t all his fault. I’ve already talked to him and he will hand himself over to the authorities later,” said Ling Han.

凌浩说道:“老总，他也是中了圈套，这事也不能全怪他。我已经跟他交代过，等一下他就会去自首。”

“Yes yes, I will bear all the responsibility,” said Song Baicheng hurriedly.

“对对，我承担所有的责任。”宋百成赶紧说道。

“Hmph!” Zongzheng Wukui coldly hmphed. Already, he didn’t want to talk to Song Baicheng anymore.

“哼！”宗正武魁冷哼了一声。他已经不想和宋百成说话了。

“Boss, this was done by Xia Lei and Fan Fan. This matter ___. You have to get an idea for us.”

凌浩说道:“老总，这件事是夏雷和凡凡搞的鬼。这件事说大可大，说小可小，你得为我拿一个主意啊。”

“Fan Fan? Hmph! Does she think her wings got longer? Even if she does have longer wings now, I’ll bring her to the ground.” Zongzheng Wukui coldly said, “And that Xia Lei. Now that he’s gotten himself into this, he won't have a chance at getting away. I want to show him what he can’t and can do!”

“凡凡？哼！她以为她的翅膀长硬了吗？就算她长了翅膀，我也要让她飞不起来。”宗正武魁冷冷地道:“还有那个夏雷，他搀合进来就别想脱身了，我要让他明白什么事做得什么事做不得！”

A cold smile formed on Ling Han’s lips. “He’s in his office and the Germans are also there.”

凌浩的嘴角浮出了一丝冷笑，“他在他的办公室里，德国人也在。”

Zongzheng Wukui didn’t say anything more and left the office building directly.

宗正武魁没有多余的话说，直接进了办公楼。

The office was filled with a happy atmosphere.

办公室里一片愉快的气氛。

“Today’s arrangements went according to plan. You guys can join any workshop.” Xia Lei’s face was all smiles.

“今天的行程安排是随意参观，你们可以进入任何车间。”夏雷的脸上带着笑容。

“Mr. Xia, when are you planning to start developing the intelligent Thunder Dragon lathe for us?” asked Connell.

“夏先生，请问你什么时候开始为我们打造雷龙智能机床呢？”康纳桥问。

“I can’t be the judge of that. This is a business transaction so whenever you provide the submarine technology, I will give you everything you want on my end. Before then, the only thing I can do is wait for any notice,” said Xia Lei.

夏雷说道:“这个我做不了主，这是一次交易，我想你们什么时候提供了潜艇技术，我这边就会给你们想要的一切。在此之前，我能做的只是等待通知。”

His meaning was very clear- this was to be a simple and direct transaction. As long as he didn’t have the German submarine technology, he wouldn’t give the Germans what they wanted.

他的意思很明白，那就是一手交钱一手交货。他一天没有将德国的潜艇技术拿到手，他就不会给德国人想要的东西。

Connell laughed. “Haha, Mr. Xia, don’t worry. Everything has already been prepared. As long as your end is ready, you can start the transaction at any time.”

康纳桥笑道:“呵呵，夏先生你放心吧，该准备好的东西我们早就准备好了。只要你这边准备好了，你随时可以启动交易。”

“Then first let’s go look around the workshop and we can discuss when the transaction will be carried out. What do you think of that, Mr. Connell?” said Xia Lei.

夏雷说道:“那我们先去参观车间，顺便你商讨一下什么时候进行交易。你看这样好不好，康纳桥先生？”

“Of course that’s fine,” said Connell.

康纳桥说道:“当然没问题。”

“I think there’s a problem.” Zongzheng Wukui suddenly appeared at the entrance of the office, with an angry face and a frightening cold expression.

“我觉得有问题。”宗正武魁突然出现在了办公室门口，一脸怒容，眼神也阴冷得可怕。

Connell immediately frowned as he had just been interrupted. “And you are?”

自己的话被打断，康纳桥的眉头顿时皱了起来，“你是？”

“We don’t have to know each other.” Zongzheng Wukui was extremely rude.

“我们不必认识。”宗正武魁一点都不客气。

Connell got the cold shoulder, and he was annoyed, but he was someone who could stand anger. He also knew that the old fellow in front of him knew his status, yet he didn’t give any face at all, so he probably wasn’t a normal person.

康纳桥吃了一个闭门羹，心中不爽，可他也不是受不得半点气的人。而且他也明白，眼前这个老头不是不知道他的身份，但一点面子都不给，那么这老头能是一般人吗？

At this, Xia Lei said, “Mr. Connell, you can leave this to me and take a look at the workshop with your men. We can have a good chat later.”

这时夏雷说道:“康纳桥先生，这里交给我吧，你带着你的人去车间参观。回头我们再好好聊聊。”

“Then that’ll be all for now, Mr. Xia. Please go ahead.” Connell left along with several German technology workers. Since Zongzheng Wukui didn’t give him face, he didn’t care about giving Zongzheng Wukui any face either. When he left, he didn’t even glance at Zongzheng Wukui.

“那就这样吧，夏先生，你先忙。”康纳桥带着几个德国技术人员离开了。宗正武魁不给他面子，他也懒得给宗正武魁面子，出门的时候他就连看都没看宗正武魁一眼。

The moment the Germans left, Ling Han and Song Baicheng walked into the office.

德国人一离开，凌浩和宋百成也走进了办公室。

“Please sit,” greeted Xia Lei with a smile. Then, he called, “Caiyue, bring three cups of tea over.”

“三位请坐。”夏雷笑着打了一个招呼，然后又扬声说道:“彩月，泡三杯茶来。”

Caiyue’s voice came from outside. “Yes, Director Xia. Coming right away.”

外间传来青彩月的声音，“好的夏董，马上来。”

Zongzheng Wukui sat his butt down on the sofa. “Xia Lei, don’t try to be coy. You should know why we’ve come. Just spill it, I’m waiting for your explanation.”

宗正武魁一屁股坐在了沙发上，“夏雷，你就别跟我假惺惺了。你应该知道我的来意，说吧，我真等着你的解释。”

Ling Han and Song Baicheng stood on the two sides of Zongzheng Wukui, both staring coldly at Xia Lei.

凌浩和宋百成站在宗正武魁两侧，也都冷冷地看着夏雷。

The people who came were ill-intentioned, so the office’s atmosphere immediately became tense.

来者不善，善者不来。办公室里的气氛顿时紧张了起来。

Xia Lei stopped smiling, and indifferently said, “Executive Zongzheng, did you just come for an explanation? Could you give me a reminder of what this is about? What explanation are you looking for?”

夏雷也不笑了，淡淡地道:“宗正老总，你来就是我要一个解释吗？能不能给我一个提示，什么事情？什么解释？”

Zongzheng Wukui suddenly slapped his hand on the small table and furiously said, “Xia Lei! Don’t play the fool in front of me! Do you really not know what I came here for?”

宗正武魁突然一巴掌突然拍在茶几上，怒气冲冲地道:“夏雷！你别给我装疯卖傻！我是因为什么事情来这里，你难道还不知道吗？”

“Since you’re not saying, I really don't know.” Xia Lei shrugged. “Otherwise what would I need a reminder for?”

“你还别说，我真是不知道。”夏雷耸了一下肩，“不然我要提示干什么？”

“Xia Lei!” Ling Han coldly said, “Watch your tone!”

“夏雷！”凌浩冷冷地道:“注意你的口气！”

Xia Lei didn’t speak anymore.

夏雷不说话了。

Qing Caiyue walked in, holding a tea tray with three cups of tea for Zongzheng Wukui, Ling Han and Song Baicheng, but when she saw the three of them getting angry at her Director Xia, she was immediately unhappy. Taking the tea tray, she turned to leave.

这时青彩月走了进来，她手里捧着一只茶盘，茶盘上放着三杯茶。这三杯茶本来是要给宗正武魁、凌浩和宋百成喝的，可她一见这三个人冲她的夏董发火，她顿时就不乐意了。她捧着茶盘转身就走。

“What are you doing? Serve the tea before leaving,” called Song Baicheng.

宋百成叫住道:“你怎么做事的？把茶端过来再走。”

Qing Caiyue turned around and looked at Song Baicheng. “If you want to drink tea, you can make it yourself!”

青彩月回头看了宋百成一眼，“要喝，自己泡去！”

“You...shameless!” Song Baicheng got angry from feeling humiliated. It was fine if Xia Lei didn’t take him seriously but now even his secretary didn’t take him seriously!

“你……放肆！”宋百成恼羞成怒，夏雷不把他当回事也就算了，现在却连夏雷的秘书都不把他当回事了！

“Caiyue, what’s going on?” asked Xia Lei.

“彩月，怎么回事？”夏雷问了一句。

“Director Xia, there’s no more tea leaves,” said Cai Yue.

青彩月说道:“夏董，没茶叶了。”

“All right, all right. You can go ahead with your work then. We don’t need you here anymore.” Xia Lei waved his hand.

夏雷挥了一下手，“行了行了，你去忙你的吧，这里不用你管了。”

Qing Caiyue assented. She left, twisting her slender little waist and her perky butt. When she left, she couldn’t help but laugh. She thought Xia Lei would scold her but Xia Lei hadn’t.

青彩月应了一声，扭着纤细的小蛮腰和翘臀离开了。出门的时候她忍不住笑了一下，她以为夏雷会训她，可夏雷没有。

Everyone had seen the three cups of tea that she had brought in, all giving off steam and emitting a fragrant scent, but she had actually taken the cups of tea back. With such a small matter, Zongzheng Wukui and the people next to him had seen through Xia Lei’s attitude- that he wasn’t afraid at all!

谁都看见青彩月端着三杯茶进来，那三杯茶还冒着热气，散发着香味，可她居然又把那三杯茶给端走了。就是这么一件小事，宗正武魁这边的三人却已经看出了夏雷的态度。这个态度就是——他根本就不怕！

Zongzheng Wukui’s face became uglier. He thought he could resolve the problem with his status and force Xia Lei to give in, but he had never thought that Xia Lei wouldn’t attach any importance to him!

宗正武魁的脸色变得越发难看了，他以为他的身份来这里，他可以轻松解决问题，逼夏雷做出让步，可万万没有想到夏雷就连他都没放在眼里！

If Xia Lei didn’t even care about the bureau chief of Bureau ZN, how were they supposed to chat?

夏雷就连ZN局的局长都不放在眼里，那还怎么谈？

Zongzheng Wukui was silent for a moment before saying, “Xia Lei, what do you really want to do?”

宗正武魁沉默了一下，“夏雷，你真要怎么做吗？”

Xia Lei only quietly sat on his office chair, without saying a word.

夏雷只是静静地坐在他的办公椅上，什么都没有说。

“You’re a business person without any official appointment, but you dared take over Bureau ZN’s personnel. I can’t help but admire your courage, but I still have to ask, ‘Do you not want your life anymore?’” Zongzheng Wukui’s tone was indifferent, but his words all hinted at threatening him.

“你一个商人，无一官半职，你居然敢掺合进ZN局的人事更替。我不得不佩服你的胆量，可我还是要问你一句，你不想要命了吗？”宗正武魁的语气淡淡，可他的话里处处都透露着威胁的味道。

“Are you threatening me now?” Xia Lei coldly laughed.

夏雷冷笑了一下，“你这是在威胁我吗？”

“Threaten you?” Zongzheng Wukui suddenly slapped the table and stood up. “You’re actually talking to me like that?!”

“威胁你？”宗正武魁猛地拍桌站了起来，“你竟敢这样跟我说话！”

Xia Lei didn’t get angry, saying, “If you don’t want to talk to me then what did you come here for?”

夏雷不温不火地道:“你不想和我说话，你来这里干什么？”

“Impudent!” Song Baicheng suddenly walked towards Xia Lei.

“你放肆！”宋百成突然走向了夏雷。

Xia Lei got up from his office chair and suddenly hit his office table. With a smack, the entire office table violently shook, a crack appearing in the wooden table.

夏雷从他的办公椅上站了起来，突然一掌拍在了他的办公桌上。轰一声响，整张办公桌剧烈的颤动一下，实木桌面上赫然出现了一条裂痕！

Originally, Song Baicheng was going to lecture Xia Lei but after Xia Lei’s slap, he immediately stopped in his steps. He had received wrestling training before so he wasn’t afraid of Lu Sheng but Lu Sheng and Xia Lei were clearly not on the same level. If he went up against Xia Lei, the person lying down would definitely be him and not Xia Lei.

宋百成本来是要去教训夏雷的，可就在夏雷这一巴掌之后他顿时停住了脚步。他是接受过格斗训练的人，他可以不怕鲁胜，可鲁胜和夏雷显然不是一个级别的对手。他估计他要是上去了，躺下的绝对是他，而不是夏雷。

“Xia Lei!” Ling Han couldn’t control his anger anymore either. “Stupid! Based on just your power, you thought you could replace me with Fan Fan? You’re daydreaming and digging your own grave!” 

“夏雷！”凌浩也控制不住他的怒火了，“你愚蠢！你以为凭你的那的力量就可以让凡凡取代我吗？就可以让宗正老总提前退休吗？你这是在白日做梦，自取灭亡！”

“Oh no, why isn’t this table durable? How horrible, the purchasing agents must have gotten bribed. I’ll have to deduct their pay later.”

夏雷说道:“糟糕，这桌子怎么这么不经拍？可恶，一定是采购吃了回扣，回头一定要扣他们的工资。”

Ling Han was already so furious he couldn’t speak.

凌浩已经气得说不出话来了。

“You guys can leave. There’s no point in talking anymore.” Xia Lei said, “Even though I’m a businessman without an official appointment, I’m not someone who can be threatened. It’s fine if you want my life or my company. You can go do whatever you’re doing, so let’s just stop wasting time.”

“你们走吧，再谈下去也没有意义了。”夏雷说道:“我夏雷虽然只是一个商人，没有一官半职，可我也不是谁想威胁就能威胁的。你们要我的命也好，要我的公司也好，该干什么就干什么去吧，不要浪费时间。”

Now he was asking them to leave.

这是在下逐客令了。

Ling Han and Song Baicheng looked at Zongzheng Wukui, waiting for his orders.

凌浩和宋百成看着宗正武魁,等着他的指示。

After a moment, Zongzheng Wukui said, “Xia Lei, since you’ve already said this, before I leave I want to make something clear.”

宗正武魁沉默了一下，“夏雷，既然我们已经说到这份上了，在我走之前我想把话说清楚。”

“I’m listening,” said Xia Lei.

“我听着。”夏雷说。

“Stop your dirty tricks immediately and stop the Germans from pursuing what happened last night. Also, Ling Han will continue to be in charge of the transaction between Thunder Horse Military Factory and the Germans. Finally, stop getting involved in Bureau ZN’s matters, otherwise things will get messy. I’ll only say this much, and whatever happens will be up to you,” said Zongzheng Wukui.

“立刻停止你的鬼把戏，让德国人不再追求昨晚所发生的事情。另外，凌浩继续负责雷马军工厂与德国人的交易。还有，我ZN局的事情你少掺和，否则会引火上身。我就说这么多，至于怎么做，那就看你自己的了。”宗正武魁说道。

“Are you done?” Xia Lei said, “If you’re done then please leave. I won’t be seeing you off.”

“说完了吗？”夏雷说道:“说完了就请慢走，不送了。”

But at this moment, Qing Caiyue’s voice came. “Director Xia, Miss Fan Fan came to find you. Do you want to see her?”

却就在这时青彩月的声音忽然传来，“夏董，凡凡小姐来找你，你要见她吗？”

Xia Lei immediately felt a headache coming along.

夏雷顿时头疼了起来。

Before Xia Lei could speak, Zongzheng Wukui sternly said, “Let her in!”

却不等夏雷发话，宗正武魁就厉声说道:“让她进来！”

However, Qing Caiyue stood there unmoving. Even though Zongzheng Wukui was someone big who she couldn’t offend, Xia Lei was her boss. Here, she would only listen to Xia Lei’s commands and no one else’s.

青彩月却站着没动。宗正武魁虽然是一个她惹不起的大人物，可夏雷才是她的老板。在这里，她只会听夏雷的指示做事，不会听任何人的。

Fan Fan came in herself without an invitation.

不用人请，凡凡自己就走了进来。
