Chapter 1056: Guess the God
"One serving of Chinese cabbage stewed with tofu, one serving of stir-fried bean curd with green pepper, and one serving of shredded kelp salad"
Li Xuewu stood at the restaurant window, looking at the row of steel dish basins and ordering dishes. He asked for two vegetarian dishes, one cold one, and a bowl of braised carp.
"Put less chili in the kelp shreds. If it's too spicy, you won't be able to taste the seafood."
"Leader, you just like to joke——"
The chef who was preparing the dishes in the restaurant turned around and said with a smile: "This is the first time I heard that kelp is considered seafood."
"Haha, I'm treating everyone today, doesn't it sound nice to call it that? All the seafood from all over the world are alive, it's a grand feast."
"Wow! You are so open-minded!"
The chef came over to help with a big bowl of carp and said jokingly, "It's unlucky for the guy to have dinner with you! Hahaha!"
The chef was originally the Lou family's chef, but later on, as things changed, he needed a proper identity, so he became a hired chef.
Later, the Lou family went into seclusion, and the cook lost his job, with only skills but no official position.
However, Lou Yu was kind and righteous, and he didn't want to lose these people at home, so he simply brought them here.
The chef’s surname is Ma, and he is an expert at cooking top-notch Tan style dishes.
If you think about it, it makes sense that talent is being buried in this canteen-style restaurant.
However, these days, although cooks have no worries about work and even less about food and clothing, they still have to look respectable.
What is decency?
Unless he is like Sha Zhu, who took over his father's job from the very beginning, worked in the factory, had the status of a worker, and was considered the big brother.
Generally speaking, cooks are service staff, no matter which organization they are in.
Service personnel, since the nature of their job is to provide services, will always have an inferiority complex.
After all, it has only been less than 20 years since liberation, and the braids and roots have not yet been cleaned off.
He had long regarded the Lou family as his own, and even his marriage to a wife was arranged by Mr. Lou.
I always feel that working at the Lou family is like being at home, and I feel a little uncomfortable going somewhere else.
It was okay in the club, because the father and daughter of the Lou family were managers here before, and he regarded it as his home, and he did his job as he pleased.
It’s just that the father and daughter of the Lou family left one after another. Now we can still see Boss and his wife, but we can’t see Miss Lou anymore. No one knows where she went.
He was not very familiar with Li Xuewu, but he knew that this leader had close ties with the Lou family and had deep connections with them, so he was trustworthy.
Therefore, Master Ma also respects Li Xuewu very much, and joking is just a way of showing closeness.
Li Xuewu treated him the same way. He seldom came on weekdays, but whenever he came and met him, he would definitely say a few words.
"That's enough, please eat less."
When Master Ma serves the dishes to Li Xuewu, they are always served in generous portions, especially the fish.
"Please enjoy. Today's fish is particularly good. It can be considered as fresh river fish and has no earthy smell."
"Okay, you're busy."
Li Xuewu took the plate with a smile, and walked towards the restaurant with four dishes and four bowls of rice.
Sitting at the square table in the restaurant, Zhao Laosi felt quite uncomfortable. He had just finished his report and was about to go back to eat, but Li Xuewu insisted on dragging him to eat with him.
That doesn’t count. Just eat it. Why don’t you let him go to get the food and insist on going by yourself?
Just say that it is so embarrassing to have dinner with Li Xuewu and let him pay for it.
There are so many people lining up outside waiting to treat Li Xuewu. How could he be so worthy as to eat the meal brought to him by the leader himself?
Just say that following such a good boss, even if you only eat and drink without getting paid for a month, is it reasonable? Wouldn't you feel warm in your heart?
“I Come – I Come – Lead”
Seeing Li Xuewu coming, Zhao Laosi stood up to greet him and offered to take the plate, but was rejected by Li Xuewu and could only follow him back.
When he got to the dining table, he rushed to put the dishes and rice on the table, and then set the chopsticks.
"Let's eat simply today. It's time for dinner. I can't eat too much meat. You can just go along with me and think I'm stingy."
"You're so polite. It's easier for me to eat by myself, but everything tastes better when I eat with you."
"Come on, Xiaobai, Luo Yun"
While they were talking, Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun walked in, and Li Xuewu raised his hand to signal them.
"If you're anxious to eat with me, I eat fast."
Li Xuewu smiled and said to Zhao Laosi: "It was even more so in the past, with all the crackling noises like a war. Now it's okay, it's slower and more plain."
"I'm the same, especially when I'm at work. I always forget to eat if something happens, or I eat right away while I'm busy working."
Zhao Laosi was sitting opposite Li Xuewu. When he saw Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun coming, he was about to stand up.
Luo Yun held his arm and called out, "Fourth Brother," "Just sit down, I'll sit next to you."
She greeted with a smile: "I was just telling Xiaobai, today is a rare day, Brother Li is treating us, so let's eat together with Fourth Brother."
"Stop joking with me, it's my honor to have dinner with you guys-!"
Zhao Laosi and Luo Yun were competing in their eloquence, and the table became lively for a while.
Zhou Xiaobai sat quietly beside Li Xuewu, and while Luo Yun was talking, he called Zhao Laosi "fourth brother".
Most of the girls and boys in this courtyard have received guidance and help from Zhao Laosi.
After all, he came with Zhou Changli and was one of the first people to arrive.
He had been here when the hospital first began to be renovated, and was in charge of security at the gate.
Now he is responsible for the security of the entire hospital, as well as the management and training of waiters.
It must be said that Zhao Laosi has little education and no special abilities. He relies entirely on his dedication to research.
He himself also said with emotion that if he had put that much effort into studying, he would have been admitted to Huaqing University.
In the past, Zhao Laosi was a street thug who would brandish knives and guns within a few words.
Now you see, this is the famous butler. Anyone who knows how to handle things inside and outside the house has to call him Fourth Brother.
Although he doesn't care about the underworld affairs outside the door, everyone in the underworld knows that this is the place where all the stubborn people in the city can finally get fairness.
Another thing is that everyone knows that this gate is not only the face of the stubborn leader, but also their last way out.
They don’t understand what the world inside the gate is like, but they know what this gate represents and what Zhou Changli once said.
Therefore, Zhao Laosi, who was in charge of this door, naturally became the Fourth Brother and the Fourth Master.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Fourth Brother is well-behaved and respectful in front of Li Xuewu. He is in charge of people and can be fierce when he scolds them.
Without him to keep the order, the waiters and coaches in the hospital would not be so well behaved.
It was Zhao Laosi who first proposed the rules, and he was also the first to practice them and take the lead in following them.
Because of the rules, Li Xuewu and the people in the management office trust him.
Because of the rules, he can have this bowl of rice and hold it firmly.
Luo Yun's background was not particularly good, not as good as Zhou Xiaobai. She was just an ordinary girl in the courtyard, so she was very good at speaking and doing things.
Do you think she can speak? She is not as good as Zhao Laosi, who learned it from a master.
Why do Luo Yun and Zhou Xiaobai both call Zhao Laosi "Fourth Brother"? On the one hand, it is because Zhao Laosi did it, and on the other hand, it comes from the other party's care.
Young people make progress by learning from each other how to speak and do things.
Especially Zhou Xiaobai, who once thought that Zhao Laosi would tell tales to Li Xuewu.
What was the result? She was willing to call him "fourth brother".
Zhao Laosi is such a smart guy. He has learned as much as a monkey from his master.
Who is Zhou Xiaobai? What is his background?
He knew it very well, and he knew even better what kind of person Li Xuewu was. He could see at a glance what the consequences would be if Zhou Xiaobai and Li Xuewu got together.
It's just that Zhou Xiaobai is still young and still likes to play.
So even if she has some little secret, Zhao Laosi doesn't care at all because Li Xuewu doesn't care.
So simple?
Hey! It's that simple!
Zhao Laosi always believed that he was working for Li Xuewu and doing things for him, and he only protected Li Xuewu's interests and relationships.
Li Xuewu will only pay attention to what he cares about, otherwise he will not understand other issues at all.
This is what his master taught him. In today's terms, it means grasping the main contradiction.
If a girl like Zhou Xiaobai wanted to play tricks on Li Xuewu, would it be necessary for him to tell on her?
Just wait and see, who will play whom?
Li Xuewu doesn't care at all who Zhou Xiaobai is flirting with, and he doesn't care what she is hiding from him.
Zhao Laosi was a bystander. The idiots standing at the door waiting for Zhou Xiaobai were making so much noise. Add to that Zhou Xiaobai's reaction. Wasn't it obvious enough? Luo Yun's explanation was so embarrassing!
He didn't believe that Li Xuewu couldn't see it, so he didn't say it out loud because he was just trying to coax Zhou Xiaobai into playing. As for what Li Xuewu wanted to play, he couldn't control it, so he just had to control his mouth.
"What is Zuo Jie busy with recently?"
Zhou Xiaobai ate in silence without talking to Luo Yun and Zhao Laosi. Li Xuewu picked up a piece of fish for her and asked about Luo Yun.
Luo Yun glanced at Zhou Xiaobai and replied to Li Xuewu with a smile: "He said it was about the Youth Forum. He said he would come back tonight, but I haven't seen him yet."
She sighed and said, "He and I are busy lately. Sometimes even if we meet, we just pass by in a hurry and can't even say a few words."
"Haha, it's my fault. I've ruined your fun. I'll criticize Zuo Jie later. How could he not consider his girlfriend's feelings?"
Li Xuewu smiled and said jokingly: "You can take your time with work, but if work affects your love life, it will be a waste of time and effort."
"You're just teasing me—!"
Luo Yun said angrily, covering his mouth and laughing: "Don't talk about him, otherwise you will think I am complaining about something. In fact, it is good to be busy. I feel very at ease when I see him busy. A man must have a career."
She said with a hint of meaning: "What kind of future can a person who wanders around the streets all day long, doing nothing and relying on his parents for support have?"
"It is said that women want their sons to be successful, but this is the first time I have seen a woman want her husband to be successful."
Li Xuewu pretended not to hear the meaning behind her words. He saw Zhou Xiaobai's face change slightly from the corner of his eye, and teased Luo Yun: "Be careful or you will regret asking your husband to seek a title!"
"Don't worry, he won't be granted a title of nobility. I know he has some abilities. He can handle things, but he's just average at managing things."
Luo Yun dared to evaluate his partner in front of Li Xuewu, and was not afraid that Li Xuewu would have a stereotype about Zuo Jie.
She smiled and said, "Just give me more opportunities to practice. As long as I am always more promising than him, don't worry, I won't dump him."
“Well, I try so hard.”
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "For the happiness of both of you, I have to help you improve."
"Hahaha--!"
-
There was a lot of laughter at the dinner table. Luo Yun and Zhao Laosi took advantage of the meal time to give a general introduction to the situation in the hospital.
Li Xuewu ate little and spoke little at the dinner table, he mainly listened to them.
At the same time, he did not forget to take care of Zhou Xiaobai's feelings by picking up food for her and handing her tissues.
Zhou Xiaobai was worried about Zhong Yuemin's matter, and he became more cautious when facing Li Xuewu, fearing that he knew or saw something.
After dinner, the four of them left the restaurant together. Knowing that Zuo Jie would come to see Li Xuewu in a while, Luo Yun followed Li Xuewu.
Only Zhao Laosi thanked Li Xuewu again in front of the flower hall door and then went back to the gatehouse.
The night is just right, the moonlight is gentle, bright and flawless, and the lights are brilliant.
The big red lanterns in the flower hall cast a pink glow on the ground, which was very beautiful.
Li Xuewu walked between Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, listening to Luo Yun talking about how she learned the business from Shen Guodong.
These days, the focus was on familiarizing herself with the situation. Shen Guodong took her to see the production, channels, sales outlets, related customers, etc.
She was impressed by the production process. Luo Yun had never thought that the work clothes, executive suits, leather shoes, etc. they wore were all produced by the First Institution and other prison departments.
No wonder the quality control is so excellent, and no wonder Li Xuewu told her that the location of the production base is safe and confidential.
How can this not be kept confidential? How can this not be safe?
"Brother Guodong has now arranged for me to follow Master Li in designing new summer executive suits, and at the same time supervise the sales and transportation of the spring suits."
Luo Yun smiled and said: "I also gave Master Li a few suggestions, and he said they were all very good and would be adopted."
“Really?!”
Li Xuewu nodded in approval and joked, "I'll talk to Guodong later and ask him to stop letting you do this. It's not convenient for a grown-up girl."
"Ah? Why is this inconvenient?"
Luo Yun was a little confused. She didn't understand what Li Xuewu meant.
Li Xuewu smiled and blinked his eyes and said: "Asking you to 'follow' an old man will have a very bad impact. He was not thoughtful enough."
"oops--!"
Luo Yun blushed with shame and said coquettishly: "Just tell me that I used inappropriate words!"
"Haha, that's good. I can see your progress. It proves that you have worked hard and learned."
Li Xuewu walked into the courtyard of the management office, stepped up the stairs, and pushed open the door of Yu Li's office.
There was no one in the room, but the light was on, so he must have just gone out.
"With your words, I feel that no matter how hard I work, it's worth it, and no matter how hard I try, it's not enough."
Luo Yun has really grown up. Even his nice words sound good, which proves that he has been tempered a lot.
"Sister Yu should be at the guesthouse right now. She has been like that every night these past few days."
"It's okay, don't worry, just sit down."
Li Xuewu did not sit on the sofa, but walked to the bed, put on his cloth shoes and lay down on the bed.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaobai had gone to make tea, Luo Yun did not bother to do so. He just sat down next to the long sofa and took out some melon seeds from underneath to eat.
"Brother Li, you came today, will you come tomorrow?"
She was eating melon seeds, turning to look at Li Xuewu and said, "Brother Huang and the others said they haven't seen you for a long time and thought you were on a business trip or missing."
"I'm going on a business trip to Tianjin next week."
Li Xuewu lay on the bed with his back straight. He had been busy all day and had no time to rest at noon.
After seeing off the two generals Heng and Ha, he talked to Ao Yuhua and asked her to call Yingcheng to explain the situation. Then he went to see Li Huaide.
Regarding Nie Chenglin's situation, Li Xuewu suggested that labor observation should still be the main focus, and the current situation should focus on production and economic development.
After Yang Fengshan left, he was the only factory-level leader still in training, so he should be treated with more caution to avoid causing controversy.
Li Huaide didn't say anything after hearing what he said, but this just proved that he didn't want to argue with Nie Xiaoguang, and Nie Xiaoguang couldn't lose face with him.
How can the leader of a big company care about the grandstanding of a small scoundrel?
They will not lower their status, argue with others, or feel depressed and upset.
"Are you tired? Didn't you get enough rest at noon?"
Zhou Xiaobai took the teacup and placed it on the bedside table. He greeted Li Xuewu and sat down on the bed next to him.
Very naturally, I grabbed his big hands and massaged his hands, arms, and shoulders.
Her hands and arms were fine, but her posture was a little ambiguous when she leaned sideways and used both hands to massage Li Xuewu's shoulders.
Leaning against Li Xuewu's body and looking down at Li Xuewu's face, Zhou Xiaobai's hair fell down, just tickling him.
"Cuckoo-"
Seeing Li Xuewu's nose moving around, Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help laughing. He extended his right hand, leaned half of his body on it, and used the force to tidy up the hair beside his ear.
"It's getting long, it's time to get a haircut."
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes slightly, palms facing up, and his arms naturally rested on Zhou Xiaobai's legs.
This posture seems familiar. I used to enjoy it this way after taking a bath in the bathhouse and going up to the third floor.
First pinch your hands, then your arms, then put your hands on your legs and pinch your shoulders, then...
Hiss - I can’t go on. Readers who often go to the third floor of the big bathhouse know that the following content is not suitable to be written here.
Zhou Xiaobai sat up straight, ignoring Luo Yun who was looking at him with a pout from the other side of the sofa. He gathered his hair with both hands and tied it into a bun with a rubber band.
"I don't want to do that. I want to grow my hair long. Then I can braid it into two braids. It will look so beautiful."
"Well, it looks good and is also useful."
Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement, stood up sideways, took a sip of the teacup, and lay down again.
Zhou Xiaobai didn't understand what he meant, but looking at the smirk on his face he knew it was not a good thing.
She glared at him coquettishly, pushed his shoulders with both hands and continued to knead them, and when she saw him looking at her, she wrinkled her nose.
Li Xuewu looked at her because she leaned on him. She could either lean over completely or leave. She just used the two-liang steamed bun to scratch him. Was she doing it on purpose?
Zhou Xiaobai also noticed that Li Xuewu's eyes were not looking at her face, and her face turned red.
The hand that was pinching his shoulder patted him lightly and said angrily: "Where are you looking at? Close your eyes!"
"laugh--"
Luo Yun on the sofa couldn't stand it any more. He thought this was a deliberate revenge against him!
Is he trying to perform some special function for me because my Zuo Jie is not here?
She had never seen Zhou Xiaobai learn any massage techniques, nor had she ever heard her mention that she knew this.
What's the purpose of doing this now? Are you trying to do something bad and force yourself on someone?
If you really want to practice here, you have to tell me in advance so that I can make room for you and don't let me get stye.
Zhou Xiaobai ignored her winking eyes, coaxed Li Xuewu to close his eyes, and then kneaded him seriously.
Seeing that Li Xuewu was about to fall asleep, Luo Yun became tired of talking nonsense and found a book under the coffee table to read.
She used the strength of her two arms to support Li Xuewu's shoulders with the quilt, lowered her body, and bit her lips to breathe evenly.
She had kissed him before, but only very rarely, and she was the one who took the initiative every time. She usually couldn't find the opportunity, but today she managed to hold him down.
Li Xuewu opened his eyes dazedly and wanted to see who was eating him, but was suddenly blindfolded.
Feeling Zhou Xiaobai's weight, the little girl threw half of her body on him.
Familiar scent of jasmine, she covered her eyes and played guessing game.
Well, he has never played this, because even if he goes to the third floor, he never moves his mouth, it is always number 8 who moves.
"what--"
Luo Yun had long been aware of Zhou Xiaobai's ill intentions and had been keeping an eye on her.
I pretended to read a book just to make her think that I wasn't looking over there, and it happened to be a live broadcast at the moment.
Looking at Zhou Xiaobai who was eating passionately, Luo Yun was both excited and stimulated, grinning and shaking his head.
Such an opportunity is very rare. At least when she was with Zuo Jie, she would never do this in front of outsiders. They couldn't even hold hands.
Kara -
The door was pushed open and Yu Li walked in carrying a thermos bottle. From the doorway she saw Zhou Xiaobai and the man-eating zombie.
Perhaps awakened by the sound of the door opening, Zhou Xiaobai climbed up in panic with a red face and slightly red lips.
"It's okay, go on, I'm just going to get some hot water and I'll be leaving soon."
Looking at Zhou Xiaobai who was fidgeting with his head down, and Luo Yun who was covering his mouth and laughing as he watched the fun, Yu Li also started a joke.
She didn't care what Zhou Xiaobai did. The man lying on the bed was not her man.
This is the food that we saw and ate. There must be many more that we didn’t see, not to mention that the ones we saw didn’t really get to eat!
"It's all your fault. You didn't come back earlier or later, but at this time. You disturbed my sweet dream!"
Li Xuewu turned sideways to glance at Yu Li, and helped Zhou Xiaobai out of the situation, saying: "I just dreamed that someone kissed me, and it smelled so good, but I was woken up by you."
"Well—my bad!"
Yu Li said with a smile: "Just continue sleeping, maybe someone will kiss you."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm afraid you'll kiss me secretly, which is too disadvantageous."
Li Xuewu blinked at Zhou Xiaobai whose eyes were directed towards him, and said with a smile: "It would be okay if Xiaobai kissed me."
"Hey! What are you thinking about?"
Yu Li said coquettishly: "Also, why do you feel at a disadvantage when I kiss you? It seems that you are the winner when Xiao Bai kisses you!"
"How can that be the same——!"
Li Xuewu propped himself up and sat up, shook his shoulders and said: "Oh, it's so comfortable. It must be Xiaobai's craftsmanship, it's really good."
Yu Li looked at him with her back teeth almost broken, this bastard, she had learned from books to massage him but she never received the praise like she does now.
Zhou Xiaobai got a very comfortable evaluation after pinching her butt twice, which meant that he didn't give the lip biting service at the beginning!
Is this something that needs to be thought about?
As long as there are value-added services, who would care about basic services!
Zhou Xiaobai was so embarrassed by Li Xuewu's praise that he stood up and sat next to Luo Yun.
Li Xuewu smiled and took a sip of the teacup, then asked Yu Li, "Is Guodong not here yet? Where's Zuo Jie?"
"I don't know—humph!"
Yu Li snorted with some resentment: "Why are you asking me? Go ask your Xiao Bai!"
"Hahaha--!"
Li Xuewu laughed out loud, got out of bed and put on his cloth shoes, and joked, "Hiss - why does the room feel weird? There's a sour smell. Did the vinegar bottle fall over?"
"Screw you! There's a vinegar bottle in your office!"
Yu Li said to him in a scolding tone, pointing outside the window and said, "Guodong is here and met Zuo Jie. They went to the restaurant to eat. They just finished their work and are hungry."
"Well, don't worry, let them eat well."
Li Xuewu put down his teacup and asked, "Has the backyard been cleaned up? Master Dou called me the other day and said it was finished and asked me to come over and take a look when I have time."
"Well, the engineering work is done."
Yu Li sat behind the desk and introduced: "The guesthouse is still laying out equipment and materials, and it may take a few days to be completed."
"The small auditorium has been rearranged, and several functional areas in the backyard have been connected and synchronized, so it should be ready for opening on May 1st."
"What about the preparations for the service staff? Have you recruited anyone?"
Li Xuewu walked to the sofa and sat down. Luo Yun stood up and refilled his teacup with hot water.
Yu Li took out a notebook from the shelf and reported: "We haven't recruited many waiters. Ou Xin and the others introduced a few reliable girls here, and I kept them."
"Oh, and Aunt Lou has arranged a few people to take care of the cleaning and basic necessities, which should be enough."
"Uncle Lou and the others are back?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
“Come back on Wednesday, leave again on Friday”
Yu Li replied: "Uncle Lou said not to disturb your work. They don't have anything to do. They just came down to take a look around and buy some things."
"Next time they come down, remember to call me. I have to check everything out."
Li Xuewu folded his right leg, leaned on the sofa and said: "Supplies on the mountain are scarce, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth to buy them. You should think more about it and ask more often."
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, he then reminded: "Including the other people on the mountain, take care of them. Guodong goes up the mountain a lot anyway."
"I'm thinking about it. Guodong has been thinking about this matter. Uncle Lou and the others should be coming here to relax. The child misses home a little."
"Lou Ting——"
Li Xuewu nodded in understanding and said, "It's been quite a while since we heard from Sister Lou, right?"
"I'm busy right now, how can I have time to chat with you every day?"
Yu Li glanced at Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, and spoke very cryptically.
The two girls are not tied closely enough to Li Xuewu's interest group, so some things cannot be explained to them clearly.
Even if Luo Yun and Zuo Jie are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it won't work because Zuo Jie is not considered a member of Li Xuewu's personal career.
Zuo Jie is just a manager on the club's side, helping Li Xuewu expand and broaden his network and cultivate relationships and influence.
He knew some personal business, but it was all semi-public and had nothing to do with Li Xuewu because Shen Guodong was standing in front blocking it.
Revealing these businesses to Zuo Jie was also to give him a sense of belonging and a basis of trust, but it did not mean that he could access Li Xuewu's core interests.
Even Zuo Jie can't do it, let alone Luo Yun. They are just boyfriend and girlfriend, not husband and wife.
Are they trustworthy even if they are a couple?
There is no problem with Zhou Xiaobai's identity, but I am worried that she is too young and has an unstable personality.
So even if we want to discuss the core issues, we can't do it in front of them.
Li Xuewu understood the meaning of her words, but she didn't explain it in detail.
"Time will dilute everything, including relationships, feelings, and even longings between people."
He said with some emotion: "In this world, there has never been a question of who cannot live without whom, or who the earth will not rotate without."
"You are so sad! Lou Xiao'e would be so sad if she heard this."
Yu Li said angrily: "Can't you men be more considerate and caring towards us women? You are so cold-hearted."
"Well, I am cold-hearted and unreasonable, okay—"
Li Xuewu shook his head with a smile, looked at Zhou Xiaobai who was looking at him with curiosity and asked: "Am I cold and cruel? Am I ruthless?"
"whee--"
Zhou Xiaobai covered his mouth, looked at his funny expression and shook his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, nodded again, and finally nodded vigorously.
"Ah--"
Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement, waved to Zuo Jie and Shen Guodong who came in after knocking on the door, and said: "Come on, some people say that we men are cold-blooded animals."
“See? This is what it means to be a leader.”
Yu Li stood up and greeted the two of them, jokingly saying, "When my words reached him, their meaning changed. The target also changed and became broader! I have nothing to say."
"Hahaha--"
Shen Guodong and Zuo Jie sat next to each other on the sofa, and Zuo Jie naturally sat next to Luo Yun.
Seeing him sitting over, Luo Yun pursed her lips somewhat reservedly, but she felt a little embarrassed being stared at by Zhou Xiaobai, so she glared at her.
Ah, so it's nothing when you hold him and chew on him, but it's immoral for us to sit next to each other? Is it worth teasing me like this?
Zhou Xiaobai smiled and pointed at Luo Yun and said to Zuo Jie who had just sat down: "She is angry with you. She said that you haven't been seen for ten days or half a month, so she broke up with you."
"Zhou Xiaobai! You've become a bad person!"
Luo Yun yelled, "When did I say we wanted to break up? You're spreading rumors like this, and you can spread them!"
When she said this to Zhou Xiaobai, she couldn't help but glance at Li Xuewu.
Zhou Xiaobai's face turned red because of what she said, and the two of them started laughing.
Zuo Jie didn't understand and just looked at the joke stupidly. Shen Guodong just smiled and started talking about work with Li Xuewu.
Mainly together with Yu Li, I reported on the latest business and work progress in Northeast China, the border areas, Tianjin, and Beijing.
In accordance with the preliminary arrangements, Jicheng and Gangcheng in Northeast China purchased and operated a series of local specialties such as timber, nuts, and dry goods.
In accordance with the service status of the steel mill, relying on local specialties sent from outside the customs, it began to set up agents in major cities.
It is not a full-scale rollout, but only operations and acquisitions as a distribution agent.
From then on, the trade routes inside and outside the pass were connected with the capital city with Gangcheng and Yingcheng as nodes.
As Tianjin is the trade management center and the core point that affects the shipping business of Tianjin Port Terminal, the recycling station is building a branch station with Wu Shufang as the core person in charge.
Li Xuewu is also considering who to send to assist Teacher Wu in carrying out business work. The person must be familiar with the work flow of the recycling station, have certain work experience, and be trustworthy.
Shen Guodong gave some advice that the fifth and sixth of the Thirteen Guardians could go to Tianjin and then find a capable one.
After all, even if Tianjin is to be established, it will be linked with Beijing to coordinate shipping and inland waterway transportation.
Tianjin is very close to Beijing and has convenient transportation, so you don’t have to worry too much about controlling costs.
In fact, Li Xuewu has an ideal candidate in mind, and that is Zhou Yamei.
But he hasn't been to Gangcheng for a long time, so he doesn't know what Zhou Yamei thinks.
Should I continue to stay in the steel city, or come to Tianjin to live and work.
Li Xuewu didn't want to make things difficult for her. What she cared about was her child's education and growth, which was more valuable than work and career.
Therefore, without being sure whether Zhou Yamei could come to Tianjin with the personnel work, he had to find someone to be responsible for the execution of the work.
"How is Zhou Changli?"
Yu Li thought about it and suggested: "He is still very smart and has been trained for a period of time. He can take on some executive work."
“Well, it’s not appropriate.”
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "He is needed for shipping. At least it is not convenient to use him now, and he is not suitable for the work of the recycling station."
"Where's the second child?"
Shen Guodong saw Li Xuewu frowning and thinking, and after thinking for a while asked: "Should we transfer the second child back? If the third uncle is too busy, we can transfer the seventh and eighth children over to help, and let them learn along as well."
“Well, that’s a feasible solution.”
Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said: "If Third Uncle can let things go, he can slowly transfer the people. If the second child can learn something, I would be very happy to see this situation continue."
"Then please ask Sister Yu to communicate with Uncle San."
Shen Guodong looked at Yu Li and said, "Also ask about my third uncle's next arrangements and whether he needs any support from family so that we can be prepared."
"I understand. I'll contact you tomorrow."
Yu Li nodded and said, "It would be good if the second child could come back. Biaozi is in the Northeast, you are in Beijing, and the second child is in Tianjin, then we can all rest assured."
"You still have to take your time, don't rush"
Li Xuewu leaned back on the sofa and said, "People's cultivation and learning are still very important. I would rather see the growth of my second child. He is still too young."
"I've been away for more than half a year, so I should have learned a lot. If I can't do it, I can go back and forth."
Shen Guodong said: "Arrange the fifth and sixth children to go to Tianjin, and I will go there several times a month."
“No, that’s not how it’s done.”
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "Especially in the early stages of starting a business, ambiguity will cause problems."
"Okay then, let's ask the second child to come back."
Shen Guodong thought about it and it made sense. He was already very busy in Beijing, and if he really had to take care of both places, he wouldn't be able to run fast.
"Brother Wu, do you need my help?"
Listening to Li Xuewu and others discussing the opening of a recycling station in Tianjin, Zhou Xiaobai took the initiative to say: "If it is in Tianjin, it is not far from home, I can go over to help."
"You? Going to Tianjin to work?"
Li Xuewu looked at her in surprise, smiled, and asked, "Will your parents agree to let you go so far?"
"It's not too far. It only takes two hours by train. I really want to work."
Zhou Xiaobai said with some longing: "What's more, you also gave me the position of general manager. Isn't it a good opportunity to go to Tianjin to develop business?"
"Forehead……"
When Li Xuewu heard Zhou Xiaobai talking about the general manager, he was a little hesitant and scratched his head.
He didn't seem to explain clearly to Zhou Xiaobai that the position of general manager was like the identity of a rich second-generation.
They don't need to pay for management and investment, they just need to sit back and collect the money.
If they really get the urge to try management and investment, they might end up being spendthrifts.
Their intentions must be good, and they all want to make money and be successful, but often things don't go as planned.
How do you say that?
If you don’t manage your finances, your money will not be lost. If you manage your finances, your money will not manage you.
"Look again, this is just a discussion"
Li Xuewu smiled at her and said, "Wait until the time is right. If it's suitable, I will let you go to work in Tianjin. Just don't refuse to go."
“How could that be? I want to build a career.”
Zhou Xiaobai nodded seriously and said, "I'll wait for your news and tell my parents when the time comes."
hiss--
Li Xuewu pursed his lips. In fact, this was what he was afraid of. If Zhou Zhennan really knew that he had left his precious daughter in a store in Jinmen Town, would he come to deal with him overnight?
If the Zhou family really agreed, Li Xuewu would be eager for Zhou Xiaobai to go to Tianjin.
Forget about the general manager, it would be fine to give her the position of chief general manager. She can just play at work every day and doesn't have to do anything. All she needs to do is show up when discussing cooperation and dare to say who her father is.
Of course, Li Xuewu couldn't use Zhou Xiaobai in this way. Even if Zhou Xiaobai was willing, he would not do so because Zhou Zhennan would definitely not be willing.
After coaxing Zhou Xiaobai to give up the idea temporarily, he listened to Zuo Jie talking about the Youth Forum.
This guy really treats this as a career. He cherishes this opportunity very much. After all, it is the first time for him to be responsible for a project by himself, which is something he is good at.
Relying on the mystery of the mansion club and the influence of the cars and jeeps that frequently come in and out of here, he has made a lot of friends recently.
The current situation has changed a lot, and many young people with good backgrounds and abilities have lost the desire to play politics.
Those who have common sense know that they should retreat while the going is good; the barbaric era is over.
It was in this form that the Youth Forum quietly emerged among this group.
It's very mysterious, but the introduction is very simple. It's a branch of the mysterious club in East City and can be considered a reserve force.
Many young people have heard of this club, especially the incident in which someone in their circle was beaten up some time ago.
Some people have already received an invitation and obtained a badge, which they wear on their chests in a mysterious way.
On the front of the badge are three young men carrying a red flag, and the flagpole of the red flag looks like the number 1.
Some people call this club No. 1.
Of course, the club is not called this name, but Dongfeng Sports Club.
The youth club in the club is not called this name, but Youth Club.
Four words are printed under the badge: Young and promising.
