Chapter 1186 Report to You Later
"What are you looking at me for?"
Li Xuewu took a bite of the steamed bun, then looked up and saw Li Xue staring at him.
"Why, do you like this in my hand?"
He gave up the steamed bun in his hand and said, "Is it for you?"
"cowardly--"
Li Xue glanced at him with disdain, scooped a spoonful of porridge with a spoon and drank it.
"Don't think I don't know anything."
"I thought you didn't know anything?"
Li Xuewu picked up a piece of pickled vegetable with chopsticks, looked at the girl, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Humph--"
Li Xue snorted, turned her head away, and said, "You know it in your heart, I'm too lazy to tell you."
"Then there's nothing to talk about?"
Li Xuewu tilted his head indifferently and continued to eat breakfast.
The more Li Xue saw that her second brother enjoyed his food, the angrier she became.
Eat, eat, eat. What’s wrong with never having eaten steamed buns?
"Were you two together last night?"
"Who?"
Li Xuewu raised his head calmly, looked at the girl and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I saw it all—"
Li Xue curled her lips, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her second brother.
But he still said unforgivingly: "Can you please stop doing this? It will have a very bad influence."
"Comrade Li Xue?"
Li Xuewu put down the steamed bun in his hand, looked at his sister seriously and said, "I am both your second brother and your leader."
"If you want to talk to my second brother, then just do as you please and speak freely. As your brother, I will definitely tolerate you."
"But if you want to talk to the leader, you should have a correct attitude, tell the facts, and speak reasonably. You can't just talk nonsense."
"Who is talking nonsense——"
Li Xue raised her head and wanted to refute, but when she saw her second brother's face, she lost her confidence and courage.
So, she could only mutter quietly: "I just saw it."
"Who did you see?"
Li Xuewu picked up the steamed bun and asked, "Where did you go and what did you do?"
He was talking and eating at the same time, as if he was asking about someone else's business.
Li Xue hesitated, drank half a bowl of porridge, and then said, "I saw her coming out of your room this morning."
"That's it?"
Li Xuewu glanced at the opposite side calmly, took a bite of pickled vegetables, and said: "You are Deputy Director Jing's secretary, why don't you say hello when you see him?"
"I--"
Li Xue was stunned by her second brother's question, feeling wronged and sad.
Is it wrong that I didn't say hello?
No, you guys think you’re right about what you’re saying, right?
I was saving your face by hiding my name, but you said it out loud.
Oh, by the way, why do you say that?
"Put away your pettiness——"
Li Xuewu pointed at the porridge in front of her, motioning her to eat well, and said, "Next time we meet, say hello."
"How do you say hello?"
Li Xue was furious. She glared at her second brother and asked, "Should I call you leader or sister-in-law?"
"You can call her the Land Goddess, as long as you have a righteous heart, you won't look down on anyone."
Li Xuewu said calmly, "Your second brother has no credibility in your eyes, right?"
"Okay, then you say--"
Li Xue moved the porridge in front of her, folded her arms and placed them on the dining table. She looked into her second brother's eyes and asked, "What did she do when she went to your place last night?"
"Playing poker, do you believe it?"
Li Xuewu curled his lips, rolled his eyes at his sister, and said, "You have such a rich imagination. You can think of what you saw this morning as what happened last night."
"What is this for? Bullfighting?"
As the brother and sister were talking, Jing Yunong came over with a tray of food, and Dong Wenxue was with him.
"Leader, good morning, Director Dong—"
Li Xue could no longer maintain her courage and determination. She glanced at her second brother guiltily and took the initiative to greet the two leaders.
"I was just saying, where did the person go——"
Jing Yunong looked at Li Xue with a smile, then his eyes swept over Li Xuewu, and the coded telegram began to click.
In just a moment, the two of them completed the information sharing. They had such tacit understanding.
Don't ask, the only thing you need to know is that there was technical communication.
"I got up early in the morning," Li Xue explained in a strange voice, "I walked around the yard and came to eat."
"How many times has Li Xue come to Steel City?"
Dong Wenxue, of course, knew her. He smiled and said, "Your second brother comes here often. You should ask him to take you out for a walk."
"He..." Li Xue curled her lips and was about to say something, but then she realized that her leader was here, so she could only mutter, "He's busy."
She didn't say what she was busy with, but she was busy anyway.
"In the morning?"
Jing Yunong asked casually, and then without waiting for Li Xue to answer, he continued, "We had a morning meeting."
"what?"
Li Xue was stunned and looked at Deputy Director Jing blankly, wondering if this was a code or a metaphor?
"Peng Xiaoli came to call you, but he couldn't find you."
Jing Yunong nodded, not paying attention to her daze, and looked at Dong Wenxue and said, "I discussed it with Xuewu. We will check the scene in the morning and have a meeting in the afternoon."
"Leader, here are the materials you requested."
Peng Xiaoli came in from the restaurant entrance, came over here and handed a document to Li Xuewu.
"Uh-huh--"
Li Xuewu took it and put it aside, then said to Dong Wenxue, "I asked Xiaoli to ask the office for it this morning. There are many projects to look at today, so try to compress the time as much as possible."
What the hell?
Li Xue looked at her second brother blankly, then looked at Deputy Director Jing, and finally looked at Peng Xiaoli.
You guys are playing me here, right?
It turns out that what I saw was the scene of the meeting ending, and I missed the morning meeting?
Peng Xiaoli also noticed Li Xue's gaze, but he didn't know what was going on.
What are you looking at? What do you want to ask me?
Why don't you say something! Li Xue?
-
"The second phase of the No. 7 furnace project at the steel plant has been completed."
Dong Wenxue, wearing a rattan safety helmet and an executive suit, stood at the construction site and introduced: "It is expected that the furnace will be operational by the end of October."
"How long did this phase of the project take?"
Li Xuewu put his hands behind his back, looked up at the tower, and said, "The Saintaya Group gave us a definite answer."
“They will complete and deliver all technology introduction projects on schedule.”
He withdrew his gaze from the tower, looked at Dong Wenxue and said, "As long as our project progress can keep up, as long as our delivery speed can keep up."
"Did you talk to Chantal, the president of Santaya Group?"
Dong Wenxue nodded in understanding, and walked forward with the two men while saying, "There will be absolutely no problems with the construction. I can guarantee that."
“How to speed up delivery?”
Without waiting for Li Xuewu to answer, he smiled and said, "Is it calculated according to the contract period, or according to our production period?"
"No matter which standard you use, I hope it will be as fast as possible—"
"Of course," Li Xuewu nodded and agreed, "If we can ensure the construction period, quality and quantity, it is better to put pressure on the other party."
As he said this, he smiled at Dong Wenxue and Jing Yunong and said, "This way, I can also slam the table and challenge them at the negotiation table, right?"
"Hahaha--"
The main projects of the Santaya Group and Red Star Factory are all in the Northeast.
To be more precise, it is in Gangcheng and Yingcheng.
The project in Yingcheng was relatively simple. The Santaya Group provided large-scale shipbuilding technology and mechanical equipment, and the Red Star Factory produced the first 10,000-ton cargo ship on its behalf.
Of course, this freighter was delivered in the name of settling debts, and more freighters will be used to settle debts in the future.
In general, the Santaya Group is cautious about domestic cooperative investments.
Especially what happened last week has made this confidence even worse.
It can be seen from the cooperation projects and investment returns that the French are still too cautious compared with Italian businessmen.
The cooperation between Geely Star Shipping Company and Red Star Shipyard is still centered on long-term stability.
This has something to do with the fact that Geely Star’s shipping business is located in the port city, and the other party is more confident.
On the other hand, the French want to see immediate returns on every investment.
Even the engineering and technical teams that provide free assistance need to collect feedback on construction status at all times.
In the Steel City Industrial Zone, the French need construction machinery, steel structures, machinery and special vehicles, etc.
Hongxing Factory has turned some orders into joint trade and transferred them to the Tianjin Trade Management Platform.
That is to say, Red Star Factory will purchase some machinery and parts, steel structure workpieces, special vehicles, etc. from domestic factories through bidding and then resell them to Santaya Group.
Of course, the standards are set by the Red Star Factory, and the production process and quality have long been documented.
Especially for special vehicles, the Red Star Factory Trade Management Center bundles the orders with the automotive parts supply chain.
Only members of the Trade Management Center can receive these orders.
Eat foreign trade and then eat domestic trade, and after eating domestic trade, cheat on foreign trade.
It is said that Deputy Director Li is the best at cheating foreigners, and this rumor has been confirmed.
Li Xuewu went to Yingcheng for inspection, mainly to monitor the preparations for the manufacture of the 10,000-ton giant ship.
If he could use the ship as a bargaining chip in advance, he could also urge the Santaya Group to fulfill the contract as soon as possible.
Because the steel mill as a whole is undergoing iterative updates of industrial equipment and technology.
He has already negotiated with the French and asked for the most advanced steel rolling and smelting technology in the world.
As the technology and equipment arrive in batches and stages, the engineering here must cooperate well to realize production and mass production as soon as possible.
This time when I came to Gangcheng, the first stop was to inspect the steel plant, and the purpose was also to see the construction progress here.
What is more satisfactory is that the overall situation in Gangcheng Industrial Zone is stable and there are not so many unstable factors.
Dong Wenxue, who has learned from his mistakes, has been working here for two years and has made up his mind to kill.
In the past, Yang Zongfang dared to jump up and bite people, but now if you look at him again, he can only keep his tail between his legs.
In contrast, Dong Wenxue's temperament has become more calm and amiable. He is natural when talking and laughing, without much hostility, but respectable enough.
-
The three leaders walked in front, and two team members, several accompanying researchers and secretaries followed behind.
Li Xue blocked Peng Xiaoli with her elbow, and the two of them slowed down and fell behind.
"What are you doing? What's going on?"
"Keep your voice down—"
Li Xue glared at Peng Xiaoli and asked softly, "Did my second brother... Deputy Director Li ask you to look for me this morning?"
"No, it's Deputy Director Jing."
When Peng Xiaoli heard her ask this, he thought that she was concerned about what happened at the morning meeting.
He took the initiative to explain: "Deputy Director Li asked me to go to a meeting, and when he saw that you were not there, the leader asked me to go find you."
"what happened?"
"fine--"
Li Xue nodded with an awkward expression and said, "I missed the morning meeting, so I just asked casually."
What else could she ask? Should she ask whether Deputy Director Jing was there when you entered my second brother's room?
After all, he is her second brother, the other one is her leader, and Peng Xiaoli is an outsider.
If you really ask this question, whether Peng Xiaoli dares to say it is one thing, but he must be thinking too much.
Thinking of her second brother's frankness in the morning and the words he said to her, Li Xue became confused.
Could it be that I really had wronged my second brother?
"It's nothing, actually. We just talked about what we were going to watch today and asked me to prepare some materials and make itinerary arrangements in advance."
Peng Xiaoli had no idea what she was thinking and thought she was worried about being scolded by her boss and was suffering from this.
So he started to counsel Li Xue, talked about the morning meeting, and took the initiative to ask Li Xue if she wanted those materials, and he took an extra copy.
"Thank you—"
Li Xue pulled the corners of her mouth, tried to smile and thanked him.
This kid talked a lot, but not a single word was useful.
Tell me whether Deputy Director Jing was there when you went to the room!
"Why are you being so polite to me——"
Peng Xiaoli walked closer and asked in a low voice, "You accompanied Deputy Director Jing to travel across most of China, and stayed in Fengcheng for such a long time. It must have been very tiring, right?"
"It's OK. It's my first time traveling far away."
Li Xue glanced at him, took one more step to the side, and quietly distanced herself from him.
For ordinary colleagues, don’t get too close, it’s not good.
Obviously, Peng Xiaoli paused in his tone of voice because he sensed Li Xue's sensitivity.
This is really...
Now everyone in the factory knows Li Xue’s identity and background. How many young people don’t want to pursue her?
There is no need to mention his appearance, personality, and educational level. Just because of Li Xuewu, he would have to work ten years less.
The children of the factory leaders were not around, otherwise they would have been targeted long ago.
Of course, there are also reasons why I can't bear to leave myself.
I heard that Kumamoto Cheng’s daughter is ugly and has never found a suitable partner.
Lao Xiong did find a few young people in the factory, but as soon as he arranged a blind date for them, those young people ran away.
I can only say that young people these days are still much purer.
The two people walking behind didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere became more awkward.
Peng Xiaoli wanted to find a topic to talk about, after all, opportunities like this were rare.
But his mind was in a mess and he forgot what to talk about for a moment.
Li Xue was still wondering whether she had misunderstood her second brother, and remained silent at this moment.
Only after they had finished visiting the steel mill and moved on to the next factory did the two of them follow.
There was just a hint of awkwardness when our eyes met.
-
I started working at 8:30 in the morning, had a simple working lunch at noon, and continued working until 3:30 in the afternoon.
Steel mills, hardware factories, electronics factories, motorcycle factories, automobile factories, bus factories, special vehicle factories, etc.
These also include aircraft manufacturing plants, steel rolling mills, chemical plants, power plants, etc. that are currently being planned and constructed.
At the electronics factory, Jing Yunong, Li Xuewu and his team learned in detail about the technology and production of various electrical appliances.
We visited several electrical appliance production lines and investigated the storage and management of electrical appliance parts warehouses.
The group walked and stopped from time to time, not just rushing around to see the scenery.
Both Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong are particularly concerned about the current key projects of Red Star Factory.
They may be lacking in technology, but when it comes to products and management, both of them can ask questions and explain things clearly.
This puts a lot of pressure on the on-site management person in charge, as they are afraid that their answers will not be good and their leaders will notice.
Li Xuewu certainly wouldn't pretend or be mysterious in Gangcheng or in front of Dong Wenxue.
The problems seen on site were raised on the spot, and they were not discussed with the on-site management, but directly with Dong Wenxue.
He doesn't dwell on problems, but discusses the causes of the problems.
The answers to all problems at the grassroots level can be found from management. Neither laxity nor tightness will do.
Jing Yunong and Dong Wenxue are at the same level, and the business they each manage is large and important.
However, one works in the government agency and the other works in the local area, so they can get along well with each other.
Only Li Xuewu was not polite to Dong Wenxue and made many suggestions on the production management and organizational construction of the professional factory.
In contrast, the leaders of Gangcheng Industry attached more importance to Li Xuewu's opinions and attitudes.
Not to mention the rumors, just looking at the relationship between Li Xuewu and Dong Wenxue, they have to take it seriously.
Besides, these problems are real, and Li Xuewu did not target that person. He just said that everyone present is garbage.
There is really no way around this, especially for grassroots managers.
The more grassroots managers are, the more limited their vision and cognition are. Often, as soon as they mention a problem, Li Xuewu already understands it very well.
It is a problem for them, but Li Xuewu can easily come up with two or three solutions.
Moreover, these methods can be recognized by grassroots management, and they can truly feel the gap between them.
Therefore, Li Xuewu, whose speeches were always meaningful, seemed to have become the protagonist of this investigation.
He always makes an evaluation of the project after completing the research.
Jing Yunong also admired Li Xuewu's talent and ability, especially his ability to find the right balance between pragmatism and idealism.
You can hear him speak in a rather vulgar manner, especially when talking to the squad leaders and section leaders, which can make some noises if you are not careful.
Hey, the strange thing is that these people below are willing to listen to him say this.
Li Xuewu listened to the report on the spot and asked questions to the workers and team leaders. He laughed and scolded them when they were good, and he also laughed and scolded them when they were not good.
These people can often quickly understand what they did well and what they did not do well while receiving his ridicule and scolding.
When answering Li Xuewu, the smile on his face was very sincere.
You always say that leaders should be educated and speak politely, but leaders who really know how to speak are more likely to get support from grassroots employees.
Laughing, scolding and getting angry is also a science. Who dares to say that Li Xuewu has no culture or talent?
If you go to the Red Star Factory and ask, you will find that even the veteran writers don't dare to brag that their articles are the best in the factory.
Deputy Director Li seldom writes now, but whenever he has an article, it will definitely be published in a major newspaper.
At the very least, it would be published or reprinted by a major system newspaper like the Steel Daily or even the People's Daily.
He can use the most ordinary words to write the most vivid and touching articles, with detailed content, rich emotions and outstanding ideas.
He writes good articles, but has a face of a gangster. He speaks in a humorous and profound way. Do you think a 30-year-old aunt likes him?
I don’t know whether my aunt loves him or not, but the grassroots cadres of Gangcheng Industry respect and love him.
The leaders above may be afraid of Deputy Director Li coming to Gangcheng to take up the post, but they are more looking forward to it.
why?
Because such a leader tells you how to be idealistic, but also actually requires you to be pragmatic.
Should grassroots organizations engage in empty talk?
There is no need to think about this question, it is a life-threatening question and the answer is necessary.
Life is the life of the future and the life of the organization.
Just look up at the slogans hanging in the factory and you will understand: focus on ideology and production.
Do you think the grassroots should engage in empty talk?
But how the grassroots should be served, how they should be served, and to what extent is a question.
The scale and degree are of course controlled by the leaders above. During today's investigation, the people below felt that Deputy Director Li controlled it very well.
Deputy Director Jing also felt that he had it under control very well, and he was able to control both aspects with both hands.
-
"You really don't smoke anymore?"
Dong Wenxue looked at his student, nodded with a smile, and said, "Good, great perseverance."
"Don't praise me, this is not a great perseverance."
Li Xuewu looked at him with a smile and asked, "Teacher Han forced you to quit smoking, right?"
"Ugh--"
Dong Wenxue sighed, looked at him with some resentment, and said, "How did you quit?"
"You want to ask me why I don't smoke anymore, right?"
Li Xuewu said with a smile: "It's useless. Don't try to get me to continue smoking. A real man should quit smoking if he wants to."
"This is good stuff—"
Dong Wenxue looked at the cigarette in his hand with a slightly melancholy look and put it aside reluctantly.
It’s a bit of a pity, he has already drawn a panda.
The Panda cigarettes mentioned here are not the Red Panda cigarettes we know later, and even the manufacturer is different.
What we are talking about here are the ones produced by the Shanghai Cigarette Factory in 1950s and 1950s, which are genuine TG cigarettes.
Well, the cigarette manufacturing standards were benchmarked against the most famous foreign cigarette brand at the time, 555.
Dong Wenxue can indeed afford this and it is also high-end, but Li Xuewu still prefers the dream of hutong kids, Daqianmen.
It's a pity that he still has some Daqianmen cigarettes in stock, but there are very few people who would take the initiative to give them to him.
I'd like to say a few more words here. When young people first enter the society and work hard, even if you don't smoke, you should carry a box of slightly higher-end cigarettes in your pocket.
When you go out, you still have to save up thirty or fifty dollars to save face.
You don't have to leave everyone. Good buddies and good friends know that you don't smoke, and they will be sensible and won't ask for your cigarettes.
He is so shameless that he scolds you and fuels your flames, saying that he has cigarettes but doesn't share them with you, and that he is just trying to please you. His purpose is to make you stay away from the person who asks you for cigarettes as soon as possible.
If you lack self-control and the ability to consider your friends, what the hell are you doing here?
Just give it to people you meet for the first time, people who need help, or people who can help you.
Of course, the smoke you spread out may not bring you any rewards, and those people may not necessarily help you.
But as you give it away more and more, you will know to whom you should give it, and this will invisibly cultivate your ability to judge people.
Because every cigarette you smoke costs a few dollars, and it also represents the cost of your time spent with people.
Over time, while improving your ability to judge people and your social skills, you will also be able to reduce ineffective social interactions.
Of course, this is advice for young people. If you don’t know the etiquette of passing out cigarettes or lighting cigarettes, you can learn from your father or someone who knows about this.
The person who receives the cigarette from you will first look at your gesture, then look at what kind of cigarette you offer, and finally see if you smoke.
You don't smoke but you brought cigarettes and light, and they were expensive cigarettes, and you put a lot of thought into your handling. What impression do you think he had of you?
Finally, when you are out, your identity is given by yourself. If you want to emphasize your individuality and create a healthy personality, just treat what I said as bullshit.
Li Xuewu was really determined to quit smoking. If even that old Li could quit smoking, why couldn't he?
Do you understand that you need to be consistent with your leadership?
Someone in the factory had said a long time ago that Li Xuewu even quit smoking in order to please Director Li. If a person like this doesn't make progress, who will?
So what’s weird and strange is that some young people in the factory actually began to privately study and learn Li Xuewu’s personality and style of doing things.
Including words, deeds, behavior, writing skills and learning, as long as someone records them, people will study, imitate and learn from them.
The person who is most serious and learns the most is Li Huaide's secretary Li Haiyang.
This kid really wants to improve.
Except for Peng Xiaoli who had the advantage of being close to the water, no one else had the opportunity to learn from Li Xuewu.
Most of the time, we see and hear things and learn a few tricks.
Li Haiyang has more opportunities. This kid even writes down everything Li Xuewu says and then tries to learn from it.
It's really crazy and scary.
You see, today Li Xuewu wore a black belt, and tomorrow all the young people will wear black belts.
The next day Li Xuewu changed into a brown one, and on the third day all the young people changed into brown ones.
Many people know that Li Xuewu quit smoking, but he still has the habit of smoking in his daily work or life.
For example, when holding a meeting, such as the internal office meeting of the security team, Li Xuewu would first smoke a cigarette before speaking.
For example, when holding an on-site meeting, he can prepare a few boxes of cigarettes to distribute to the team leaders or workers on site.
Every time he went to the workshop, the factory workers were like huskies waiting to be fed, with their eyes wide open.
Li Huaide once privately commented on Li Xuewu's behavior, calling it the atmosphere of a gangster.
In fact, Lao Li himself is of the same character. His cultural level is even lower than that of Li Xuewu.
If they were really brought to the same age group and entered the Red Star Factory together, he wouldn't even be needed even if he was just carrying Li Xuewu's shoes.
Li Xuewu's teacher, Dong Wenxue, has the exact opposite personality, he is a scholar.
There was a great contrast between the teacher and the student sitting together, and even their casual conversations were quite funny.
-
"You know what cigars are? Thick ones."
Li Xuewu put down the cigarette box in his hand, looked at Dong Wenxue and said, "No matter how good this cigarette is, it is harmful to your health. Give it up and smoke cigars instead."
"I'll ask Biaozi to talk to the ship and get you a special supply of Brazilian cigars later."
He introduced with a sly smile: "They say that thing is made by girls rubbing it on their big white legs."
"What nonsense?"
Dong Wenxue glanced at him and said, "Even Biaozi is not floating, so why are you floating——"
"Just for a puff of cigarette, you have to go so far? And you even put it on your thigh and rub it. What if it was an old lady rubbing it? Hahaha——"
He couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, just quit. I don't want you to be corrupted by me."
"Hahaha--"
Li Xuewu also laughed. He was just talking nonsense. If Dong Wenxue really agreed, he would report it to Teacher Han when he returned to Beijing.
"This time, seeing your expression and the state of Steel City's industry, it is much healthier than before."
“Is this healthy?”
Dong Wenxue crossed his legs, pointed at his face with amusement, and said, "It's almost the same color as donkey shit."
"Stop talking nonsense, I want to ask you--"
He adjusted his expression, looked at Li Xuewu seriously and asked, "Will there be any reversals and fluctuations at the Shengtaya Group?"
"It's hard to say—"
When Li Xuewu heard him ask this, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by sadness and worry.
"I sat with her for most of the day at the International Hotel just to keep her steady."
What happened on Friday was very important, including what happened in the city and the situation encountered at the International Hotel. Li Xuewu reported everything to the management committee.
Even when he was sitting in the lounge with Chantal, the information he passed on to them was all handled expedited by Li Huaide.
You see, Li Xuewu was very calm and composed at the time, even though there was a large group of people working behind him.
The purpose was to limit the impact of the unexpected situation that occurred that day on the cooperation between Red Star Factory and Santaya Group.
This was purely an unexpected disaster, and the timing was just perfect.
Even if it is a few months later, it would be fine if Santaya could deepen its cooperation with the Red Star Factory in the mainland, have more ties and invest more.
It was just at the beginning of the contract performance, and the two parties had just begun to establish normal procedures for cooperation, when this sudden thing happened.
Old Li was so angry in the factory that he was cursing and jumping up and down, but in front of Li Xuewu, he had to remain calm and composed, and also had to keep Chantal steady.
He was planting thorns in Chantal's heart and digging mines at that time, with the purpose of keeping Chantal in the International Hotel.
But the matter was over very quickly. Someone from the French Embassy came to pick him up, and Li Xuewu didn't dare to stop him.
So the matter was a bit confusing, and he couldn't rush to contact the other party, so he could only speed up the progress at the factory as soon as possible.
After understanding the industrial base of Yingcheng and Gangcheng, we must formulate preventive measures as soon as possible.
If the Santaya Group really wants to withdraw or reduce its cooperative projects, Red Star Factory must be prepared to respond.
Dong Wenxue is the deputy director of the Management Committee and Li Xuewu's immediate superior, so he must be informed.
During the morning investigation, Li Xuewu naturally couldn't say anything discouraging in front of so many people.
At the moment, there were only the teacher and the student together, and he couldn't hide it from Dong Wenxue, so he told him all his worries.
"I can't be impatient now. I have to wait for the higher-ups to come to a conclusion on this matter."
Li Xuewu let out a long sigh, looked at Dong Wenxue who was frowning and reaching for a cigarette, and said with a wry smile: "Don't bear this pressure."
"I will try my best to maintain the situation in Beijing. Director Li has also gone there to make arrangements. This matter will soon have a result."
"What if?"
Dong Wenxue sighed and said, "I feel bad. How many years will it take for Red Star Factory to catch such a great opportunity? What if?"
"That can't be helped. All we can do is prepare for a rainy day."
Li Xuewu said seriously: "As for which cloud in the sky will bring rain or not, this is beyond human control."
"I hope it rains every day!"
Dong Wenxue let go of the cigarette box in his hand, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You are really worried. Is everything okay at home? Does Gu Ning blame you for not taking care of the family?"
"You know my working principle, I don't mix public and private affairs," Li Xuewu smiled and said, "I work hard during working hours and take good care of the kids after get off work."
"Hehehe——"
Dong Wenxue smiled and said, "Okay, you really act like a father now. We must maintain this principle."
"It's difficult. The more work you do, the more you'll do it. It'll never be finished."
Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "My daughter is the happiest when I come out. She asked me for toys and delicious food."
"Hahaha--"
Dong Wenxue thought of the cute little girl and asked with a smile, "She will be able to go to kindergarten next year, right?"
"Look again, you naughty boy."
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Gu Ning's kindergarten is right in front of our house, so it's convenient for her to go to school."
"Sure, you have elderly people at home to help you take care of it, which saves you a lot of worry."
Dong Wenxue said with emotion: "Our Meng Yuan was raised by the two of us since she was a child, so we don't want to have a second child."
"I would like to have a few more. I like children."
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Gu Ning doesn't want it anymore. She thinks it's too troublesome and she can't sleep well every night."
"How pitiful are the parents in the world—"
-
"Second brother? What are you doing?"
Li Xue came down from the guesthouse and saw her second brother was about to go out, so she asked.
Li Xuewu was about to go out, and he turned back to explain to her: "I'm afraid you'll worry and misunderstand me again, so I'm moving out."
"cowardly--"
Li Xue may have self-doubt in her heart, but she will definitely hold on to her end on the surface.
I will never apologize. Not apologizing is my last stubbornness in this matter.
"I don't know where he went to fool around again—"
"Are you talking to me?"
Li Xuewu waited at the door with amusement, looked at her and asked, "Will you come with me?"
"You want me to go with you?" Li Xue asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"
"You, can you learn something good?"
Li Xuewu flicked her head and lectured her, "Can you please stop framing your second brother with your evil intentions?"
"How can I call... Then tell me," Li Xue pulled his arm and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Go see Old Biaozi and his daughter!"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "You've come all the way here, no matter how busy you are, you have to go and take a look."
"They are my beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters."
He tapped Li Xue's forehead, who was looking stunned, and said, "This is the second time you have wronged me. I don't want it to happen a third time."
"Really? Brother Biao gave birth to a daughter?"
Li Xue blinked, looked at her second brother and asked, "Then I'll go and take a look?"
"It's up to you," Li Xuewu said and walked out. Dong Wenxue's car was already waiting at the door.
Every time he comes to Gangcheng, Dong Wenxue lends his car to Li Xuewu. It has become a habit.
Li Xue thought about it, looked at her clothes, and then looked back upstairs.
"Second brother, wait a moment!"
She hurriedly caught up with her second brother, took out five yuan from her pocket and handed it to him, saying, "I really can't leave my boss, can you give me a gift?"
"If you really want to go, I can just tell Deputy Director Jing."
Li Xuewu glanced at the girl and was about to turn around and go back to the guesthouse, but was stopped by Li Xue.
"I'm here on a business trip, not to visit friends. How can I leave if you leave? That's not nice."
Li Xue pushed her second brother and stuffed the money into his pocket.
"Brother Biao was the best to me when he was at home, so I have to get this gift money."
This is true. After the recycling station started making money, Lao Biaozi really cared about the Li family.
Especially for the youngest, Li Xue, the amount of pocket money Li Xuewu gave her was limited, but the amount of pocket money and things that Lao Biaozi gave her was countless.
"Okay, my sister has also learned the ways of the world."
Li Xuewu took her money with a smile, patted her arm and said, "This place is not like Beijing, don't go out alone at night."
After giving some instructions, he got into the car at Li Xue's request.
Watching the car leave, Li Xue stood there and thought, is second brother really going to stay at Brother Biao's house tonight?
That's impossible. Is there such a way to visit relatives?
"uncle--"
As soon as Li Xuewu entered the yard, he saw his godson Fu Zhidong flying out.
The little short legs were flipping around as if it was about to fly.
When he got close, I couldn't help but call him dad.
"Just call me if you want to. What's the matter? Are you afraid that I won't agree?"
Li Xuewu knew that children were sensitive, especially at this time, which was the critical period for character development.
Fu Zhidong was very sensible. He leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid that my mother will be sad."
"My dear son—"
Li Xuewu nodded in understanding, patted him on the back and said, "Then only the two of us know this secret."
"What are you two talking about?"
Zhou Yamei looked at her son with amusement as he was held in Li Xuewu's arms and muttered to himself.
"Would you like to come in and have a drink of water? Or should we go straight in now?"
"It's already this late, let's hurry up."
Li Xuewu urged, "You don't need to take anything. I've asked people to prepare everything."
"What you prepare is yours, and what I prepare is mine."
Zhou Yamei carried out a basket of eggs and placed it at the door. After locking the door, she walked out carrying the eggs.
"If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have gone over to see it a long time ago."
"Okay, I'll do you a favor."
As Li Xuewu escorted Fu Zhidong to the back seat, he said, "I will repay you for your kindness someday."
"Screw you--"
Zhou Yamei knew too well that this man was not a decent person, so she did not show any excessive anger in front of the driver. She just glared at him in reproach.
However, when Li Xuewu held the car door and asked her to sit in the back, she still got in.
Just like that, with Fu Zhidong between them, both of them sat in the back.
The driver was a good driver, deaf and dumb. When they arrived at Biaozi's house in the city, Li Xuewu gave way to him before he entered the house and sat down.
The table had already been prepared and the dishes were ready as soon as they arrived.
"Let me see what my daughter looks like—"
Li Xuewu took the baby from Lao Biaozi with a smile and asked teasingly, "What's your name?"
"It's not started yet. I'm waiting for your help to start one."
Lao Biaozi said with a smile: "I said to call her Li Fang, Li Hong, Li Lan, or if it really doesn't work, call her Li Xueqin, but Qinglan didn't agree."
"My sister-in-law is a college graduate, you want me to start?"
Li Xuewu smiled and kicked him, then said to the little kid in his arms, "Look at your dad. You can't be like this when you grow up."
"I've read through so many books, I'm going to give up one by one."
Lao Biaozi smiled bitterly and said, "Come up with an idea quickly. A good name like Li Shu will do."
"You're picking on me, aren't you—"
Li Xuewu smiled and was about to kick him again, saying, "That was given to me by my dad!"
"Hahaha--"
