Chapter 1170: What happened to the agreed upon enmity?
"Let's row the oars~"
"The boat pushes away the waves~"
"The beautiful white tower is reflected on the sea, surrounded by green trees and red walls——"
“Hahahaha – chuckle –”
The lake is not big, but there are several wooden boats floating on the lake, which are the tool boats of the cleaning team.
Of course Li Xuewu would not take his daughter to row this kind of boat without permission. He just taught her to sing during their morning walk.
Li Shu was a tiny girl, she walked like a little duck, and she followed her father in singing in a baby voice.
As she sang, her attention was drawn to the wild flowers on the roadside, the frogs in the lake, and the jumping grasshoppers.
When she turned around and saw her father looking at her, smiling and waiting for her to sing along, she would laugh happily.
"The singing is really bad—"
"Thank you for the compliment," Li Xuewu didn't care about the old man's evaluation of his singing skills, and retorted: "Your fishing skills are also average."
The old man has gotten used to it. The fishing rod in his hand doesn't even shake. It is obvious that his energy-cultivation skills have improved.
Li Shu was familiar with the old man. She smiled and called him Grandpa. She stood on tiptoe and looked at the fish basket. "It's still empty——"
croak——
"There are so many toads in this lake."
The old man glanced at Li Xuewu's expression as he was trying hard to hold back a smile, and blurted out, "He has no regard for his face!"
Li Xuewu didn't expect his daughter to be so lethal. Didn't he see that the fishing float was shaking? The old man was making amends for himself.
"As the old saying goes, choice is more important than hard work—"
He squatted down, held his daughter in front of him, wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief, and teased the old man, "If you had chosen to catch frogs, you would have had a great harvest long ago, right?"
"Do we still need to catch a toad?" The old man refused to give in. He turned his head and glanced at Li Xuewu, snorting, "There's one right in front of us."
"Did you see that, girl?" Li Xuewu smiled and taught Li Shu, "This is called making indirect accusations and using sarcasm to slander others."
"Teach your daughter something good!"
The old man's defense was broken. He could no longer maintain the aloofness of an old man in a straw hat and raincoat fishing in a cold boat on a cold river. He turned his brows and glared at Li Xuewu.
"Grandpa——" Li Shu looked up and reminded: "Toads, toads cannot be eaten. Toads are good... good toads!"
Although she is not yet old enough to go to kindergarten, Gu Ning is already teaching her pinyin and numbers.
There were children's picture books and magazines. Qin Jingru coaxed her to recognize various small animals and learn nursery rhymes during the day.
Li Xuewu never thought about how successful his daughter would be when she grew up, as long as she didn't become a bandit.
"Look, Li Shu is more knowledgeable than you!"
The old man only showed his cold and stern eyes to Li Xuewu, but when facing Li Shu, the severe cold turned into the warmth of spring.
He smiled and said to Li Shu: "Everyone knows that toads can't be eaten, right?"
"Yes..." Li Shu was very satisfied with the adults' praise and affirmation. She puffed out her chest and chattered about the toad eating insects.
Li Xuewu did not refute the old man. He just smiled and watched his daughter speak. He liked her brave expression and hoped that she would be optimistic and cheerful.
"I heard something happened in your factory?"
The old man waited for Li Shu to finish speaking, and seeing that her attention was attracted by the grasshopper, he raised his head and asked Li Xuewu a question.
Then, without waiting for Li Xuewu to answer, he said with emotion: "The situation is difficult and troubled times."
"Retire and take good care of yourself."
Li Xuewu stared at his daughter, but he retorted: "You don't need to worry about food and drink, why do you care about other people's business?"
"Why? Are you unwilling?"
He snatched the ant from his daughter's hand, handed her a stick to play with, and continued to ask, "How about I find you something to do?"
"Are you so kind?"
The old man's eyes were also on Li Shu. The world of children is always so innocent and beautiful.
He sighed and said, "Forget it. Like you said, I'm not short of food and drink."
"That's what I mean. There aren't so many unfulfilled ambitions."
Li Xuewu squatted beside his daughter, his eyes were gentle, but his mouth was sharp: "Even if you drink ice for ten years, you would have died of stomach cold long ago."
"It's hard to cool the hot blood. In the dark room for thousands of years, snort——"
He curled his lips slightly and said in a mocking tone: "Times have passed. Now it is not necessary to understand everything with just one light."
"Yes, yes, we are all antiques. We should have been swept into the garbage dump of history and sent to the crematorium in the eastern suburbs long ago."
The little bit of spirit the old man had was extinguished by Li Xuewu's pee, and now all he could do was complain.
He turned around, held the fishing rod, and whether out of anger or helplessness, he continued to cultivate his character with a melancholy face and pretended to be dead.
The success or failure turned empty, the green hills were still there, and the sunset was red several times.

As the end of July approaches, things are getting more and more complicated and work is getting busier and busier.
There have been a lot of big moves at the Red Star Factory recently. Everyone in the factory, from top to bottom, inside and outside, is busy as if they are working hard.
Li Xuewu cooperated with Gu Weijie to lift the red veil of the agency, pushed the shy personnel changes and sat on the edge of the wedding bed, muttering "May you have a baby soon and everything will go smoothly."
What is personnel change?
It's just a math problem, very simple, just addition and subtraction.
With the adjustment of industrial production order, various production units are being regulated and coordinated towards specialized factories, and personnel work is also being adjusted in an orderly manner.
Some unnecessary positions need to be streamlined, some personnel who fail the assessment need to be transferred, and some new positions need to be added and arranged.
Production, logistics, personnel, finance... and so on, are like pieces of a puzzle that make up the booming Red Star Factory.
There is no need to summarize the theory of the wooden barrel. Few people working in government agencies don’t understand it.
In practical terms, each individual's work cannot keep up with the overall progress, the management of the supervisor is lacking, the project is progressing slowly, and there are too many factors.
At this time, someone is needed to coordinate and allocate resources to guide and inspire all departments to develop in a coordinated and consistent manner.
Generally speaking, the executive vice president or executive deputy director will cooperate with the director of the management committee to carry out this work.
There was no position of executive deputy in the Red Star Factory, and Mr. Li had no intention or preparation for it, so he promoted Li Xuewu to do the job.
A low position but great power is exactly what Li Xuewu is now like.
Li Huaide is narrow-minded and reluctant to give up the development dividends in the early stage of reform. Centralization represents rapid response and implementation of decisions.
Although it violates the fundamental principles of the organization, this situation has been covered up in the rapidly developing economy and production work.
The higher-ups also lacked the necessary energy and influence to interfere with the development and actions of the Red Star Factory.
This has resulted in the current organizational ecological structure of the Red Star Factory.
With fewer leaders, there is less work to do and the work is easier.
Especially after the personnel changes in government agencies, a large number of "old" people who had lost their enthusiasm for work and life ideals left, and a large number of passionate young people came up.
Basic positions have been filled at the grassroots level, fresh blood has been added to the organs, and there has been a new atmosphere in the management and execution levels.
It is obvious that there are more young people coming in and out of the office building, and the tone of voices speaking at meetings has become higher.
Even Li Huaide said that watching young people working made him look several years younger.
That's true, if you look at young dancers doing...work, he's younger!
There had been rumors in the office for a long time that Zhou Miaomiao's boyfriend in the design department didn't mind sharing his wife with him.
At least there was a personnel change in the agency, and that person was promoted to deputy section chief. Can you say he lost or gained?
If you ask whether Zhou Miaomiao made a profit or a loss, it’s even harder to say.
Gaga has a new scooter, an imported watch and bag, a boyfriend who is ready for marriage, a thriving performing arts career, and a good brother who often treats her to meals. Do you think she has lost money or gained money?
Let’s not talk about whether Zhou Miaomiao made a loss or not, but recently everyone is asking whether Zhou Xiaoling made a loss or not.
-
"Are you asking me about the decoration?"
Li Xuewu looked up at the heads of the Propaganda and Engineering departments and asked impatiently, "Is this your first day at work?"
"Um... Leader, here's the thing," the head of the Propaganda Section 1 bowed slightly and pointed at the documents on the table to explain, "After all, we are in the city, right? We still think we should listen to your opinion."
"It's mainly because the style is hard to control," the head of the Engineering Business Section hesitantly agreed, "We still sought the opinions of the Art Propaganda Team on stage applications, and there are no problems with these..."
"Too many ideas..." Li Xuewu understood what the two meant, tapped his pen, and did not embarrass them any further, "For literary and artistic propaganda, the focus should still be on propaganda."
As he spoke, he wrote on the document, "The appearance should be in line with the characteristics of the times, but there should also be room for development."
"Times are changing, society is progressing, and we all value inner beauty now."
Li Xuewu raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and said, "So engineering design must serve art well, so that art can serve publicity and the public."
Looking at the document he pushed over, the two men looked at each other, and it was the head of the Propaganda Section who took the initiative to take it.
The text is very concise, somewhat different from what the leader just said, but also seems to be no different.
However, both of them were veterans and understood it after just a glance. They smiled and nodded in agreement, thanked each other and left.
-
"There are many problems——"
Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then glanced at Cen Fuyao who was sitting opposite him.
Cen Fuyao is the director of the Gangcheng Joint Industrial Management Office, which is at the same level as the Beijing Tertiary Industry Management Office and the Tianjin Trade Management Center.
These are the three horses of the Red Star Factory's economic and trade leading group. He, Zhuang Cangshuo and Wang Yu are the three coachmen of the leading group.
Li Xuewu is the deputy leader of the leading group in charge of organization and coordination. This time when he returned to Beijing, Cen Fuyao came to give a work report and also listened to the instructions of Deputy Leader Li.
“Grassroots work is not easy.”
Cen Fuyao smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip. It seemed that he was pleading for the two of them, but in fact, he had deeper meanings.
"If you do it well, it's an obligation; if you don't do it well, it's a responsibility. Each leader has his own ideas. How to do it and what to do are very restrictive."
"It seems that you think you have too many leaders?"
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to the factory later and you won't have to go back to Beijing to report on your work."
"I don't care about others," Cen Fuyao said with a smile, "I must come here to report on my work."
He put down the teacup in his hand and said half seriously: "You are the best at grasping the development trend of industry in the entire Red Star Factory."
"I am not complimenting you to your face, and you do not need my compliments."
Cen Fuyao smiled and opened his notebook and said, "If Steel City Industry had not participated in its planning and design, it would not have achieved its current glory and success."
"That's just flattery—"
Li Xuewu nodded at him, put down his teacup and said, "It's not that I don't like to hear compliments, I just want to hear the truth."
He sat up straight, looked at the report in front of him and asked, "When will the Antelope be able to achieve mass production? Is there a plan?"
"It will be October at the latest. The trial production is going well, and the comrades from the Vehicle Engineering Research Institute are making the final additions and adjustments."
Seeing that Li Xuewu was serious, Cen Fuyao became serious and reported: "According to the production feedback from the motorcycle production line, Comrade Wang Gang's opinion is to stabilize it a little bit."
"I'm not rushing you. You still have to give full consideration to the engineer's opinions," Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "Mass production is not the goal. Planned and planned production is the core goal."
He pointed at the documents in his hand and said, "You can see that in the second half of the year, the factory will be leaning towards the automotive industry in terms of policies and actions. This is your opportunity, you have to seize it."
"I understand what you mean," Cen Fuyao responded seriously, "On the basis of scientific development and technology first, we will fully coordinate production capacity and cooperate with the factory to do a good job of regulation..."
"The sales department is organizing professional talent training courses, focusing on cultivating trade and sales management talents."
Li Xuewu tapped the table with the pen in his hand, looked at him and said, "Don't wait for the factory to feed you, be self-reliant, comrade."
"Bus factories, car factories, engineering vehicle factories, this year alone the automobile industry has launched so many projects, how many hands do you have?"
Cen Fuyao's forehead was covered with sweat. He didn't expect that Li Xuewu was so well-informed. Perhaps someone had reported the matter here.
"Did you know that the factory is making personnel changes?"
Li Xuewu put down the pen in his hand, glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "I don't believe you can't hear the news."
"Yes, I heard someone talk about it..." Cen Fuyao raised his head and looked at Li Xuewu, hesitantly asked: "What do you mean?"
"Have you ever thought about why the factory does this?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Are you pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth?"
"Don't try to be clever. This is too low-level and too unpresentable."
He asked the secretary in the office to refill the tea for Cen Fuyao sitting across from him, and reminded him, "You need to have a broader vision and take a long-term view."
“The management office is just a temporary compromise. The ultimate goal is to facilitate the establishment of a professional factory.”
He tapped the document at hand and said, "I won't read this report. I believe the leader doesn't want to read it either."
He pushed the document back and continued, "The automobile industry needs to develop, and the electronics and hardware industries are also developing."
"The electronic industry report submitted by Director Dong in June this year was very forward-looking. I believe you have also seen it."
He looked at Cen Fuyao, whose face was a little stiff, and said, "The Mechanical and Electrical Company is a big project. Deputy Director Jing and Director Dong are both interested in making this happen."
"Merge several TV and radio factories, acquire several radio factories, and introduce more advanced electronic technology..."
Li Xuewu was talking about the main contents of the report submitted by Dong Wenxue, while Cen Fuyao's face opposite him turned pale and blue.
"…The purpose is to build a larger electronic industry production line. You don't think this is a small project, do you?"
"Of course... of course not, but..." Cen Fuyao asked hesitantly: "The electronics factory is already producing washing machines, refrigerators, fans..."
"It's not enough, do you understand what I mean?"
Li Xuewu's tone became serious. He glanced at Cen Fuyao sharply and asked, "How many families in China still don't have flashlights and electric fans?"
"Have you ever considered the advantages of electronics OEM and electronic product export?"
Seeing Cen Fuyao frowning and thinking, he paused and then reminded him: "Don't be so petty as to calculate such a small matter in the bowl."
"If you can let go, then let go. If you don't give the people below you a chance, how can the people above you get a chance for you?"
"Yes, I understand." Cen Fuyao took a deep breath, looked at Li Xuewu hesitantly and asked, "Director Dong..."
"Work requires a sense of impartiality. What are you doing?"
Li Xuewu frowned and glared at him, then slapped the table and scolded him, "You dare to confront Deputy Director Jing? Does Red Star Factory have no room for you?"
"Don't tell me those nonsense. Go back and rectify the situation immediately. What needs to be done should be done, and what needs to be done should be done."
"Understood, Leader," Cen Fuyao pointed to the report on the table and said, "I'll prepare another one when I get back..."
"Let's take care of things first—"
Li Xuewu looked at him unkindly, the corners of his mouth moved, and then he softened his tone and said, "Don't be ungrateful."
"Deputy Director Jing is in charge of finance, sales and dispatch, and he is also the deputy team leader of the management team. You can't tell the difference between the big and small Wang, right?"
What they were talking about before was official business, so naturally the conversation should be harmonious and united. Now they were talking about feelings. Li Xuewu didn't use any dirty words when he cursed, but it was enough to scare Cen Fuyao.
"I understand. When I get back, I will adjust the division of labor, apply for support from grassroots cadres in the factory, and do a good job in talent training..."
"Go ahead," Li Xuewu nodded as he picked up the teacup and looked out the window. Before the other party left, he reminded him, "Don't forget to ask Deputy Director Gu and Deputy Director Jing for instructions."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Li—"
Cen Fuyao's words of thanks were meant sincerely, and some of these words were rarely heard from Li Xuewu. Most people were not qualified to ask Li Xuewu for advice or reprimand.
-
"Leader? Are you busy?"
Seeing that Peng Xiaoli was not in the secretary's office, Zhou Yao took the initiative to come to Li Xuewu.
She smiled and greeted him, then walked in when her leader nodded, "I heard them say that you were cursing."
"Then you still dare to come?"
Li Xuewu smiled and moved the document in his hand away, allowing the other party to place the document in front of him.
Zhou Yao stood beside Li Xuewu, bowed slightly and explained: "The branch office has the result, I am taking the risk to come and report to you."
"Well, this is what he deserves."
Li Xuewu looked at the results of the handling in the notice and asked, "Why did it come down so quickly?"
"Special matters are handled specially, and the impact is huge."
Zhou Yao explained softly, "The branch office has long been trying to suppress the recent momentum, but there has never been a suitable opportunity."
"Then it's our bad luck?" Li Xuewu raised his head and glanced at her, saying, "I feel so wronged."
"The branch intends to use the influence of this incident to expand the results and continue to advance public security and stability maintenance work."
Zhou Yao introduced: "The branch office should issue a notice in the near future to urge all factories and units to organize special security rectification work."
"The breakthrough point is here," Li Xuewu pointed at the document, which contained the understanding and deployment of the rectification work. He actually supported Zhou Yao's work.
"Combining previous public security management work and experience, we explored and discussed your opinions and still think it is better to take a multi-pronged approach."
Zhou Yao leaned forward to indicate the specific implementation methods and reported: "Strengthen ideological education and public security propaganda; cooperate with the Personnel Department to standardize and manage the system; coordinate the trade union to carry out friendship activities; and finally, severely crack down on and eliminate unstable factors."
"Well, that's good. The goal is clear and there are specific action guidelines," Li Xuewu flipped through the documents in his hand and nodded, "But you have to pay attention to the methods and approaches, and pay attention to priorities."
He made comments in pencil at key locations, especially the last one, which concerned the work and lives of too many people.
“Communicate and learn more with other departments, especially the unions, and try to gain their support and understanding, so that your work can proceed smoothly.”
Li Xuewu has never underestimated the power of trade unions, especially at this time.
At the end of the document, he wrote another instruction with a pen, demanding that recent public security cases be dealt with seriously and that those responsible be investigated and held accountable.
"Give this operation a code name," Zhou Yao suggested with a smile, "I heard that you used to use appropriate code names when organizing operations. I want to learn from you."
"Okay, no problem, let me think about it."
Li Xuewu raised his head and looked towards the office door. Seeing Li Xue coming in, he smiled and said, "Let's call it 'Thunder'."
-
"Didn't your boss give you a holiday?"
Looking at the girl sitting quietly opposite him, the office was quiet for a long time before Li Xuewu asked a question.
After finishing reading the documents in his hand, he stood up and went to the tea cabinet to get the thermos to refill his water.
Peng Xiaoli went to the Red Star training ground on his behalf, first to observe, second to ask, and third to check.
As a secretary, Li Xuewu will not give him too much power, but he will not restrict his growth either, and will give him opportunities to exercise.
The same goes for Li Xue. Although Jing Yunong will train her, he will not give her too much power.
"It seems you didn't follow the right leader."
Seeing that the girl didn't say anything, Li Xuewu smiled and teased her, "Why, do you want to change your leader?"
"I, your second brother, am currently working at the Management Committee Office, so it's still a little convenient."
"Okay, how about I be your secretary? I'll definitely do a better job than Peng Xiaoli."
Li Xue rolled her eyes, propped her chin on her hand, looked at her second brother and said, "Does this mean I can have a day off every day?"
"You're not my secretary, I'm your secretary!"
Li Xuewu walked to the desk, flicked her head, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you come home? Don't you know that mom misses you?"
"Mom doesn't want me anymore," Li Xue said with a curl of her lips, "Now she only has her eldest and second grandsons in her eyes."
"Oh, yes, there is also the eldest granddaughter!" As if she had just remembered, she glared at her second brother and said, "After Li Shu was born, Mom didn't care about me as much. It's all your fault—"
"You can blame me for this?"
Li Xuewu picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, then said with a smile: "You are now a little swallow with strong wings. After you fly out of the nest, you will not miss home or your parents anymore."
"I did think about it. Please give my mother back to me...ah——"
Before she could finish her words, she was hit on the head by her second brother again.
"You still think of yourself as a child!"
Li Xuewu glanced at the girl and reminded her, "You are seventeen years old, a grown-up girl. You should find a husband in a year or two."
"Eh..." Li Xue grinned and glared at her second brother, "You asked me to come here just for this, right?"
"What's the matter?"
Li Xuewu pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Why are you looking at me like that? I just miss you."
"Do you think I believe your nonsense?" Li Xue tilted her head and stared into her second brother's eyes and said, "Do you know that whenever you talk nonsense, you are always serious?"
"Really? I didn't even notice!"
Li Xuewu leaned his head over to look at his face on the glass that was pressing down on the desk, winked and said, "No?"
"I hate you--" Li Xue angrily reached out and patted her second brother's head, snorting: "You are teasing me on purpose!"
“Hiss——” Li Xuewu pretended to be in pain, covered his head and said, “I think I’ve hit the nail on the head!”
"Ha! I'm not as cunning as you!"
Li Xue didn't believe that the beating hurt him. She hugged her arms and snorted, "If I were to ask whether my boss gave me a day off, you'd be the first to know, right?"
"What do you mean?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at the girl and asked, "You've confused me."
"I think you are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth!"
Li Xue pouted and asked, "Everyone in the factory says that you and my leader have turned against each other, but I don't think that's the case."
"Hey! Don't say anything that will affect unity!"
Li Xuewu waved his hand and emphasized: "Deputy Director Jing and I just have a disagreement on work, it's not enough to describe it as hatred."
"What word should be used to describe it?"
Li Xue pulled the corner of her mouth and asked, "How about repairing the plank road in the open and marching through Chencang in secret?"
"Hiss! Are you talking to me?"
Li Xuewu pretended to be unhappy and said, "You have to act like a grown-up girl in the company. Are you playing house?"
"Then please treat me like a grown-up girl and stop caring so much about my emotional issues, okay?"
Li Xue only dared to pretend to be nice to her second brother and show a little bit of resistance. She would never dare to do that and leave.
Not to mention at work, even at home where her parents dote on her, she wouldn't dare to show off to her second brother.
Of course, I was really driven crazy by my second brother at this moment, otherwise I wouldn't have used the little secret in my heart to defend and fight back.
"I didn't even ask who told you about Cen Fuyao's tricks in Steel City, so you can't forgive me?"
Li Xue regretted it a little after she said this, but she still turned her head away stubbornly, looked out the window and said, "He knows the intention of the factory, but the factory doesn't know about Gangcheng's little tricks..."
She had a lot of things she wanted to say, but she didn't want to say them until she had thought them through.
For example, the leader is full of energy after coming back, or his bad temper suddenly becomes mild, or... the second brother is in charge of the team at work?
How did he know that I didn't go home? He wasn't home when I went there.
When did it become his turn to be the leader of the security team? Just then, Deputy Director Jing came back.
As for work, she had no doubts. Deputy Director Jing had learned some information in Gangcheng and he had to talk about it.
But what she heard from the factory in the past few days since she came back doesn’t match what she knows!
What happened to the promise of becoming enemies?
"Whose little tricks are unknown in the factory?"
Li Xuewu did not scold the girl anymore, but explained calmly: "He can only know what the factory is willing to let him know. He is too clever."
"The food hasn't even been served yet, but he wants to take a bite first. If it weren't for Director Dong's sake..."
"So, you all want him to take over the electronics industry?" Li Xue frowned and looked at her second brother, and asked, "Then who will go to the automobile industry? That's a..."
"It can't be you? No!"
The little girl studied with Jing Yunong in the office for more than half a year. She finally acquired professional qualities and learned to think about problems with the mindset of an office.
She looked at her second brother who was calm and composed, and thought for a long time before she widened her eyes and blurted out, "It's Director Ding! He has to make room for you!"
"No wonder..." Li Xue figured it out all of a sudden, and muttered to herself: "Deputy Team Leader Xiao went to Fengcheng to preside over the restructuring of the First Machine Factory... Director Dong..."
"So, can you tell me now what happened between you and Peng Xiaoli?"
Li Xuewu didn't care about the girl's speculation about these personnel relationships. He only cared whether there were pigs in his vegetable garden.
"What's going on?" Li Xue didn't expect that her second brother was still harping on this issue.
She replied calmly and calmly: "There is nothing wrong with us."
"When I first started working, he took care of me. It was just like a normal colleague relationship, but we had a certain friendship."
"This is strange," Li Xuewu looked at the girl and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he said, "That day when you came back..."
"I can't make a friend?"
Li Xue explained helplessly, "There's really nothing going on between us. He just asked me about work."
“Hehehe——” Li Xuewu chuckled and took a sip of hot tea, saying: “It seems that the flowers have feelings, but the water is ruthless.”
"Let's stop hiding it, brother and sister. I don't believe you can't see that he's interested in you."
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Li Xuewu said calmly: "I have no objection to you making friends, and I have no objection to you dating, but as your second brother, I have the obligation to give you advice."
"You have to trust me and share your relationship affairs with me. I will help you check them."
He spread his hands very frankly and said, "If you don't trust me, I won't interfere, but don't come to me crying in the future."
"No matter what you think, Peng Xiaoli is not suitable for you. I am not saying that he has a bad character."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said bluntly: "I don't care whether you look for a partner who is of equal status or not. No matter how powerful or rich he is, it doesn't matter to me."
"I'm only telling you one thing. The person you find has to be able to stand up straight in front of me and talk to me. Otherwise, you will never be happy in your life. Do you understand?"
Li Xue looked at her second brother in confusion, thinking about his words in her heart, seeming to understand, but also seeming not to understand.
She didn't bother with Peng Xiaoli, she just stood up and spoke...
"You love introducing people to other people so much. When I want to date someone, I'll just look for you—"
Li Xue was touched by her second brother's concern, but she still refused to give in. "Even my sister-in-law said that you found a partner for Zhao Yajun who is good at making things..."
"You want a fight, don't you?" Li Xuewu threatened the girl in a bad mood, and then explained with a smile: "This girl almost ruined my record of 100% matchmaking rate."
-
On the last day of July, after nearly a month of training and study, the inspection tour to Japan finally took place.
When the short list was announced at the last minute, some people were excited while others were worried.
Those who are excited will naturally have the opportunity to go abroad for inspection and study, and they will be valued after returning.
Of course, the worried person went through a month of closed-door study but still missed this opportunity.
They are all young and promising leaders, and have great potential in relevant technical fields.
Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huaide and personally sent the inspection team onto the plane. Finally, he also emphasized safety issues to the person in charge of the group.
Two officers from the Security Department also traveled with the delegation, one of whom was Zhao Yajun.
Zhao Yajun also worked hard and performed well in training and study. Before going abroad, he reported his relationship status to the organization and registered it.
One is a rising star who shoulders heavy responsibilities and is responsible for security missions with the regiment, and the other is a relative who once made a fool of himself.
The news that Zhao Yajun and Wang Lu were together quickly spread among the young people in the factory.
The factory is not very big, and there are only so many young people there. Any news can spread during lunch time.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows why Zhao Yajun was chosen as the security officer for the delegation.
But his choice of Wang Lu surprised many people.
A girl who dared to date a foreigner finally sent her boyfriend abroad?
So Wang Lu is determined to get some foreign flavor, right?
However, they dared to say such nonsense before, but when Zhao Yajun reported it to the organization, they could only whisper it in private.
If he talks nonsense in public, even if the Security Department doesn't call him for a talk, the Confidentiality Department will still call him for a talk.
After Wang Lu, a rather honest and straightforward girl, returned to work in the security team, no one dared to criticize her anymore.
Nonsense, she has an uncle who is a factory leader, and now she has a second brother who is a factory leader, who dares to mess with her? (Click on your house, believe it or not!)
At lunch, people from the office always arrive at the canteen earlier than those from the workshop, and they are also more talkative than those from the workshop.
Nowadays, the office is very strict and there are few opportunities to chat. We rely on the lunch time to chat.
And when Wang Lu appeared in the cafeteria, many pairs of eyes flew to her.
In fact, the relatives of the members of the delegation visiting Japan are all under the "protection" of the Confidentiality Department.
It’s just that other people don’t have as attractive a story as Wang Lu, so whether it’s jealousy or envy, rumors can’t be stopped.
Fortunately, she is a broad-minded person and doesn't take this matter to heart. She just eats and drinks as usual.
"What are you looking at?" Xiaoxiao poked Zhou Xiaoling's arm and reminded her, "Stop staring at me like that, okay?"
"I just want to see what's different about her."
Zhou Xiaoling said calmly, "Do you really think I regret it so much?"
She retracted her gaze from Wang Lu and said to Xiao Xiao, "Do you believe it or not, even if I had agreed to Zhao Yajun at the beginning, I would not be the Wang Lu of today?"
"What do you mean?" Xiaoxiao frowned and asked, "Isn't he the one who pursued you?"
"So what?" Zhou Xiaoling said vaguely while eating, "Do you think I can enter his house?"
"You mean..." Xiaoxiao seemed to understand what Zhou Xiaoling meant, and asked in surprise, "He disagrees?"
"Then why did he...both of you...?"
"I did think about it," Zhou Xiaoling rolled her eyes at her, biting her steamed bun slowly, and explained, "Of course he wouldn't want Zhao Yajun to date me, but it has nothing to do with him."
"Then why..."
The gossip fire in Xiaoxiao's eyes burned fiercely, and she whispered, "You pursued him, but he didn't want you, and he didn't allow you to agree to Zhao Yajun's pursuit. What's the logic behind this?"
"What are you thinking--" Zhou Xiaoling nodded Xiaoxiao's forehead casually and corrected her: "He didn't stop me, he just told me to back off when I saw the difficulty."
"I didn't like Zhao Yajun at first. He looked like a piece of wood—"
"Eh——" Xiaoxiao grinned, covered her mouth and muttered softly: "You like someone like Zhou Tan, willing for Zhou Miaomiao to put a hat on him... You don't want that too, do you?"
"Screw you--"
Zhou Xiaoling glared at her and explained, "Wang Lu has a good uncle, do I have one?"
"I don't regret this at all, because I never had this opportunity. This is two different things!"
"So you're fighting that guy?"
Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and reminded with a smile in her eyes: "I heard that his sister is back, didn't you think about meeting your good sisters?"
"Humph--"
Zhou Xiaoling bit her bun hard and said angrily, "The roundabout way to save the country has failed. His sister is just as cunning as he is. There are many cunning people in their family."
"Alas - I can only take my time and wait for the right time."
"I do have a suggestion. Please consider it yourself."
Xiaoxiao leaned over and whispered, "Have you heard about the factory acquiring five theaters?"
After Zhou Xiaoling nodded, she continued, "I heard that our group will have to expand, and we will inevitably have to divide into groups..."
She poked Zhou Xiaoling's cheeks and reminded her, "If you want to get close to others, you have to make achievements and let them help you. Only then will you have the opportunity to 'repay' them, right?"
"Achieve results?" Zhou Xiaoling looked at Xiaoxiao, slapped her playful fingers away, and asked seriously, "How to do it?"
"Even if they are divided into groups, Zhou Miaomiao is the captain of the dance team, and the results are hers, right?"
Zhou Xiaoling is not stupid. After suffering so many losses over the years, how could she not know the character of these little bitches in the group?
They all avoid those who are at a disadvantage, and gather around those who want to eat meat.
"You are stupid——"
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and reminded him, "What if you want to stay in the dance team for the rest of your life?"
"After the groups are formed, of course we will compete for the captaincy of the performance team!"
She said very seriously: "Go talk to the instructor, and then go talk to Li Xue."
"You can't pursue her second brother, but can we have a deep sisterly bond? She works at the Red Star Factory, so she doesn't need connections?"
