Chapter 1314 Is this reasonable?
The situation did not change suddenly; at least there were signs before every change.
From mid-July, wind starts blowing down from above until the end of July.
Just as the Red Star Steel Group Art Troupe was expanding its art and literature propaganda team, a new situation emerged.
In the early morning of the 28th, *** met the leader of the little guys and taught them a lesson in anger.
The point is that these little brats are seriously detached from the majority of workers, peasants, soldiers and students.
The key is that the little guys are divided into many factions and are both civil and military.
The result is a serious warning and cessation of activities.
It was already the 30th when Li Xuewu heard the news. He chatted with Li Huaide for a few words while dining in the restaurant, but he did not seem to take it seriously.
Or maybe he never took the passion and impulse of these young people seriously.
The higher-ups will take it even less seriously, and any passion and impulse will be exploited.
Now the value of the little ones has been re-evaluated and is no longer suitable for the needs of the new era.
Therefore, Li Xuewu could already foresee that within a month or two, they, as an organization in the large-scale learning activity, would be disbanded and completely withdraw from the center of the large-scale learning activity stage.
These people will soon face various reckonings and trials.
Even if you don't have to go to jail, once your passion has cooled, where will your future go?
He learned some things from the casual chat with Li Yuanchao that time. The group of youngsters has now split into several directions.
One reason is the temptation of interests, like him, to gather a few brothers and friends to form a management team.
After the group was brought out, the members of the group formed new groups, absorbing the former passionate young people layer by layer.
The second is to be stubborn and persist in being impulsive.
This type of people are the idiots who were left stranded on the beach by this change in the situation, or were thrown into prison after the liquidation.
The third, and largest, group was disbanded on the spot.
They are blindly obedient, without independent thoughts and values. They used to join in the fun, but now that the fun is over, people's hearts have also dispersed.
But it cannot be said that they gained nothing. The times gave them the opportunity to experience all this, learn all this, and indulge in their youth.
There will never be such recklessness and lawlessness again.
So the higher-ups were not satisfied with the kids' performance in the big learning activity and criticized them for their lack of awareness and enthusiasm in correcting their papers.
Just remove those brats and replace them with the Workers' Propaganda Team?
Li Xuewu certainly knows from a historical perspective that this is just a helpless and practical adjustment.
On the afternoon of the 30th, Li Xuewu went to the art troupe to hold an organizational work meeting. The troupe's director Jiang Peiqun, deputy directors Zhang Li and Wang Yajuan, political commissar He Yushui and others attended the meeting.
At the meeting, Li Xuewu emphasized the work discipline of the workers' propaganda team that would be formed with the propaganda team as its organizational framework.
They are required to fully understand and help the unit promote and transform large-scale learning activities after completing their work.
Li Xuewu was also terrified when he thought about arranging for the factory to set up a propaganda team to preside over and promote the relevant reform work.
This is like walking a tightrope. If they are not careful, these more than 500 people will become the abandoned children of the times and the sinners of history.
As the person in charge of this operation and mission, Li Xuewu could not just watch these people go astray.
Therefore, from the very beginning of the team's formation, he had to ensure that the person in charge had a clear head and did not act recklessly.
In accordance with the requirements of the documents issued above, the team members selected by Red Star Steel Group are all industrial workers.
They are honest and educated, a combination of old, middle-aged and young people, and have no factional tendencies.
The reason why they are required to be industrial workers is very simple. It emphasizes that the team members have good family backgrounds and are innocence-free.
On this point, the Group Management Committee had no intention of bargaining and strictly followed the instructions.
Li Xuewu publicized the main spirit of the document at the office meeting and interpreted the relevant content and meaning of the document to the main leaders of the art troupe and the propaganda team.
Generally speaking, the text content of documents issued from above is highly summarized, concise and simple, and requires subordinates to understand and implement it.
At the group level, considering the complexity of the task, it bypassed the publishing house level and was personally directed by Secretary-General Li Xuewu.
In terms of understanding the spirit of the instructions, the art troupe cannot fully interpret them, as their angle and position determine this.
Therefore, it is very necessary for Li Xuewu to come this time.
In his speech, he emphasized that the superiors required the Workers' Propaganda Team to focus on political leadership in schools and not get bogged down in administrative affairs.
Some responsible persons expressed doubts about the wages and personnel relations of this operation, and the selected team members were also worried that they would be transferred away.
The Red Star Steel Group is becoming increasingly prosperous and the economic situation is booming. Who would be willing to give up their current welfare benefits and work part-time for others?
Regarding this point, Li Xuewu also gave a detailed explanation. The team members' salaries and personnel relations remain unchanged and they remain in their original units.
The superiors probably considered that the units and individuals below would have opinions and emotions when making such a decision.
After emphasizing the nature and situation of the relevant work, Li Xuewu continued to arrange the work procedures after the propaganda team moved in.
The first thing is to hold ideological study and training classes to help the two opposing organizations achieve a grand union.
Secondly, dismantle the armed fortifications and confiscate the weapons.
Then, the propaganda team must lead the "correction" work such as large-scale evaluation, cleaning up and rectifying the team, establishing and adjusting the management committee, and rectifying the organization in accordance with the instructions and policy requirements of the superiors.
In particular, Li Xuewu emphasized an important part of the work during the publicity and implementation, namely, that superiors required the propaganda team to participate in the work of the school party branch and management committee, lead educational reforms, and even participate in lesson preparation and teaching.
Looking at this action through the lens of history and the nature of the times, Li Xuewu was very clear that after the propaganda team entered the school, the unstable factors, that is, the organizations of the young gangs, declined rapidly, which helped to resolve some long-standing problems such as factional conflicts and ending the chaos.
But essentially we still have to take into account that the policy this time implemented by the propaganda team is still left-leaning political principles and lines.
Frankly speaking, Li Xuewu did not have high expectations for this operation. He did not seek to achieve any merit, but only to avoid mistakes.
Just think about it and you will know that these propaganda team members know nothing about educational work or the business work of the units they are stationed in. This is just forcing them to do something they are not prepared for.
When selecting team members, Li Xuewu has tried his best to emphasize that more consideration should be given to production workers with cultural level.
Given the current quality of workers at Red Star Steel Group, Li Xuewu doesn't even dare to say that all of them have graduated from junior high school or above, let alone the propaganda teams of other factories.
These people generally have a low level of education and will definitely encounter difficulties in integrating into and leading the school work after they move in.
It will inevitably become a first-level right that is independent of the actual situation of the unit, and will fall into the quagmire of the original contradictions and become a component factor and source of new contradictions and conflicts, causing the chaos to continue in different forms.
So why did Li Xuewu emphasize this so much at the meeting today?
You should know that the content and requirements of the leader in the meeting may not be what you heard, and you have to use dialectical thinking to understand them.
What if you don’t understand?
It doesn't matter. The leader won't blame or look down on your ability to understand. As long as you take the initiative to find him, or he takes the initiative to find you, just speak it out boldly and ask for instructions.
The requirements at the meeting were all strict and the implementation was all resolute, but in private, some things had to be discussed separately.
-
"Secretary-General, will the main office of the propaganda team be located in the cultural troupe or the committee office this time?"
When Jiang Peiqun and others were seeing Li Xuewu off, they asked quietly, "If I put him in the art troupe, will it affect communication?"
"I also want to put the propaganda team's office in the committee office." Li Xuewu spread his hands, looked at him and said, "But you have to know that there is no more extra office space in the main office building."
"Of course, I understand the situation you just mentioned."
I walked down the stairs. The scorching sun was now fading and setting in the west. The breeze blowing on my face was much cooler.
Li Xuewu looked at Nie Xiaoguang who was standing by the car waiting, thought for a moment, and said: "The management structure of 500 people has many work requirements. If the space is too big, it will be a waste, and if it is too small, it will not be enough."
"How about..." Deputy Head Zhang Li suggested, "The small conference room on the second floor of the guesthouse has been unused recently. Can we use it temporarily?"
"Actually, I was thinking about the current office address of the Santaya Group's technical and engineering team." She twitched her lips slightly and said, "I heard that their work is about to end and they will leave."
"Who told you that?" Li Xuewu glanced at her and shook his head slightly. "The Construction Engineering Corporation has established a project management department and a design and planning department, and these two teams are involved."
"Let's book it on the second floor of the guesthouse for now."
He explained to Zhang Li, but couldn't think of a suitable location, so he could only nod and say, "Coordinate with the guesthouse, calculate the relevant expenses separately, and then allocate them in one go."
"Secretary General, I have a question." He Yushui looked at him and hesitated for a long time before asking, "The higher-ups mean to let the propaganda team take charge of ideological and political education and management work."
"But why do you..." She paused, "I mean, if we follow the current thinking, will there be any contradictions?"
Jiang Peiqun and Zhang Li looked at her, then their expressions changed slightly and they looked at Li Xuewu.
Only Wang Yajuan remained calm, or indifferent.
This operation and mission did not involve her, so she remained silent in the meeting and just now.
Jiang Peiqun and Zhang Li are different. Jiang Peiqun is the head of the art troupe and the nominal person in charge of this mission.
Zhang Li is the person in charge of administrative work in the art troupe, and is responsible for coordinating and overseeing financial, personnel and other matters.
So the two of them asked a lot of questions and were very concerned about the questions raised by He Yushui.
Li Xuewu knew that they would ask this question sooner or later. The reason they didn't ask it at the meeting was because they knew it would be difficult for him to answer.
Now standing in front of the building, they were the only ones present, so some things could be said freely.
Li Xuewu calmed down for a moment, nodded and said: "To sort out the ideas of this work and task, you must first think about the purpose of the group entrusting you to participate in this operation."
"Purpose?" He Yushui was stunned, frowned and replied: "It's not in accordance with the requirements of the superiors, to help..."
She stopped talking here, and she understood that the purpose of Li Xuewu's speech was definitely not what was emphasized in the meeting.
what is that?
"Let's put aside the document requirements for now." Li Xuewu pointed to a few people and said, "Remember, no matter where you are or what mission you are on, you are all members of the Red Star Steel Group."
"From this point of view, whatever you do, you must fully guarantee the interests of the group. Only in this way can you protect yourselves."
Seeing Li Xuewu's serious expression, the four of them stood up straight and listened to his speech carefully.
What is face-to-face instruction? It is now.
"To put it bluntly, you were conscripted out to do short-term work, and you will have to come back sooner or later."
Li Xuewu lowered his voice and emphasized: "You can all see that this time, not only are we not paid for our short-term work, but we also have to bring our own wages and food expenses. Comrades, is this reasonable?"
“Hiss—this—”
"Ok?"
Jiang Peiqun was a little confused. He wanted to explain, but when faced with Li Xuewu's suspicious "Huh?", he held back what he wanted to say.
It was the first time for him to listen to the Secretary-General's instructions in private.
Just this first time left him with a deep enough impression: the Secretary-General is a man who cannot afford to suffer any loss!
As a former subordinate, Zhang Li naturally understood this, and her ex-girlfriend Wang Yajuan expressed her full understanding.
He Yushui, who wants to be Li Xuewu's next ex-girlfriend, said that this bastard has been like this since he was a child.
So after being surprised, Jiang Peiqun found himself feeling a little out of place standing here. The other three, why are you so calm?
They were quite calm and did not show any surprise at the Secretary-General's words.
Jiang Peiqun: So I am the only outsider standing here today?
"It's unreasonable, isn't it? What can I do if it's unreasonable?" Li Xuewu pointed his finger at the ground and said firmly, "Since the employer is not going to pay for the temporary work, I can only be more careful."
"When you are working, you should think more about the difficulties and needs of the group, and try to get as much as you can." He said very frankly: "It's not shameful to do work."
This time Jiang Peiqun did not express her opinion first, but looked at the other three people. Seeing that they were listening attentively, she held back.
"Think about the difficulties the group is facing. When you go to various universities to participate in management work, what can you do for the group? This is what you should think about now."
Li Xuewu curled his lips slightly and said, "As for the work required by the document, do it well and be responsible."
The four of them looked at each other and couldn't help but frown. The Secretary-General had said all the good and bad things, so what else could they say?
As for the difficulties the group is facing and what it should gain, this question is not very difficult for them.
Otherwise, why do they say that a train runs fast? It’s all thanks to the locomotive.
Thanks to the Secretary-General for explaining to them the key and core of this work, otherwise it would have been a waste of time.
Think about it, working like this in a university will offend people. When the operation is over, they will come back with bare hands and claws. How will the group view them?
Even if you come back from a business trip you can't just bring nothing back for your family. Think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?
The four of them stood at the door and watched the Secretary-General's car leave, then looked at each other and nodded in their hearts.
He is the Secretary General, and he has so many tricks up his sleeve! He is so shrewd at such a young age.

"What's this?" Zhou Xiaobai looked at Zhong Yuemin holding the box in surprise, "Is it for me?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I come here in such a hot day?" Zhong Yuemin said proudly, "How about opening it and taking a look?"
"It's not a festival—" Zhou Xiaobai looked at the box in his hand with some suspicion, "Why are you giving me a gift?"
"It's neither the New Year nor the festivals."
Zhong Yuemin stuffed the box in his hand into Zhou Xiaobai's hand without saying a word.
But he didn't notice that when Xiaobai was holding the box in his hand, the other party avoided him.
That’s right, Zhou Xiaobai is very concerned about this kind of physical contact now, especially in the hot summer when everyone is wearing cool clothes.
It’s okay for him to touch me, but it would be bad if Brother Wu knew about it or saw it.
Zhong Yuemin didn't notice that Zhou Xiaobai was avoiding him, but he could see the surprise on her face.
I was afraid she would be angry, so I quickly explained, "Your birthday is coming soon, and I wanted to give you a gift that suits your taste."
"Why do you worry so much? You're going to spend money again." Zhou Xiaobai said nonchalantly, "I don't know that it's not easy for you to make money."
She just didn't say that she had everything she needed, and that he couldn't buy her anything expensive with the money he earned.
Of course, Zhou Xiaobai is not someone who despises the poor and loves the rich. She only cares about the value of gifts when receiving them. She just doesn't want to complicate this relationship.
Even if there are expensive gifts, she will not accept them. Brother Wu has given her a wealthy life, and there is nothing she can't buy.
She doesn't want to accept cheap gifts even more. She is most afraid of such gifts that are small in value but full of sentiment, and it is difficult to value how much the favor is returned.
So when Zhou Xiaobai saw that Zhong Yuemin was going to give him a gift, he was overwhelmed. He held the box in his hand, but was thinking about how to refuse.
How about you say you don’t celebrate your birthday this year?
Or maybe her parents don't allow her to accept gifts?
She was really being driven crazy. Zhang Haiyang and Zhong Yuemin, these two bad guys seemed to be using her as a bet.
In order to win her favor, they competed to give her gifts and please her.
She was now gradually figuring out that something was not right. These two were competing with each other to see who would win the beauty in the end.
In other words, her feelings are not important, the struggle between the two young men is the most important, so she can't be angry.
Last time, she rejected Zhang Haiyang’s pick-up offer, and then she rejected Zhong Yuemin’s confession on the cruise ship.
But look at these two people, do they seem to have any memory?
He didn't listen to a word she said to reject his confession and started playing nesting dolls with her again.
"High heels? At this time?"
Zhou Xiaobai thought so and opened the box, only to find a pair of white high-heeled shoes inside.
She wanted to open the box and find a suitable reason to refuse it, even if it was the excuse that the gift was too expensive.
But when she saw the pair of white high heels, she still felt that Zhong Yuemin might have something wrong with her.
During this period, even though she pursued fashion, she only wore mixed styles, and she paid attention to not making the styles and colors of the clothes stand out too much.
Another thing is, how did Zhong Yuemin know how big her feet were? There was no need to try to please her to such an extent.
Even if you give a pair of white canvas shoes, that's just a token of your intention. But what the hell are white high heels? Who would dare to wear them out?
"Uh..." Zhong Yuemin seemed to have noticed something was wrong. She glanced at the high heels in the shoe box, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I knew you liked fashion, so..."
"Yuemin, I know what you mean."
Zhou Xiaobai closed the box and stopped looking at the high heels. He said calmly, "You also know that this is inappropriate."
"First of all, you must know that I never wear high heels. Secondly, I can't wear such fashionable ones out."
She handed the box back and said with a smile, "My parents are not at home, so I just spent my birthday casually. There's no need to be too deliberate."
Seeing Zhong Yuemin's embarrassed expression, she still felt a little reluctant and nodded, "We'll see what happens then. If we make it, I'll call Li Yuanchao and Zuo Jie and the others, and we'll have dinner together."
"Okay, no problem." Zhong Yuemin also knew that he was being abrupt this time, so he pointed to the shoe box in his hand and said, "I'll get you another birthday present later. I'm sorry about this."
"Hey, we're all brothers, no need to be so polite." Zhou Xiaobai smiled calmly, patted his arm and said, "You play first, I have something else to do."
"That..." Zhong Yuemin wanted to say something else, but Zhou Xiaobai had already rushed to the parking lot, where a Volga M24 was slowly parked.
Not surprisingly, he saw with his own eyes that Li Xuewu got out of the car, and Zhou Xiaobai, who had just been treating him as a brother, came over and took his arm, behaving intimately, as if he was acting coquettishly.
His heart suddenly felt cold. He had never felt so chilled before because he couldn't see what was happening here through the gate.
Now because of the supply chain, many members of Youth Club are busy with this business, and everyone gets together in the club to cooperate.
Although the team Zhong Yuemin assembled was not large, they were established very early and had the support of Li Yuanchao, so they had sufficient qualifications.
On this year's May Fourth Youth Day, he and Zhang Haiyang became members of the Youth Club, and were now eligible to come here and play.
Table tennis, tennis, and shooting range are all things he had heard of but had never played, and there are also professional fitness equipment in the training hall.
However, he didn't care about or was curious about all of this. He just wanted to have the opportunity to get in touch with Zhou Xiaobai.
But the result?
As he saw it, seeing is worse than not seeing.
Recently, his good brother Yuan Jun has stopped advising him, but has worked hard with Zheng Tong to do business.
They also need money. The fathers and mothers of several of them are basically in the same situation. The food subsidies provided by the hospital are not enough to eat.
If that's the case, he and Yuan Jun and others really have to thank Zhou Xiaobai, and thank Li Xuewu who was holding Zhou Xiaobai's arm.
Because there is no supply chain distribution business in Beijing, these growing boys are really going to starve.
But why couldn't he be grateful?
-
"You have to receive gifts on your birthday?"
Li Xuewu patted Zhou Xiaobai's head in amusement, then withdrew his arm and said, "Why didn't you give me a gift on my birthday?"
"Don't blame me, it's your fault for not telling me." Zhou Xiaobai followed him shamelessly and said, "Why don't you tell me now and I'll celebrate your birthday every year from now on."
"Forget it, I don't celebrate my birthday." Li Xuewu tapped her forehead with amusement, and pushed her away when she came closer, saying, "It's so hot."
"Hehe——" Zhou Xiaobai chuckled and followed him and asked, "How come you have time to come here today?"
"Anyway, I'm not missing you, haha." Li Xuewu pointed ahead and asked, "I'm going to work, will you come with me?"
"Go, why not?" Zhou Xiaobai swayed and said, "I just like watching you work."
"If conditions permit, I would be willing to be your secretary."
"You think too much. My secretary is at least at the deputy section level." General Li Xuewu glanced at her and said, "But you still have time to work hard now. Do you want to come and work in our group?"
"No, I don't dare to go." Zhou Xiaobai laughed and said, "Now I'm afraid you'll scold me. If I go to work in your group, I'll be scolded by you every day."
"So promising——"
Li Xuewu teased her and went all the way to Yu Li's office.
This is where Yu Li works daily, and it is also where he comes to check materials and reports almost every week.
When Yu Li saw him coming in with Zhou Xiaobai, she stood up and asked with a smile, "Why did you bring a secretary with you?"
"I'm not his secretary. He even dislikes me." Zhou Xiaobai said with a smile, "Besides, he can't afford a secretary like me."
"Is it?" She looked at Li Xuewu with a proud look.
Li Xuewu was too lazy to pay attention to her. He walked to the back of the desk and sat down, then asked, "Is there anything going on?"
Some leaders like to ask, “Is everything ok?”
Li Xuewu is not such a person. If you really ask him this question, both he and his subordinates would expect that "nothing will happen".
If there is really nothing to do in your career, then your business will be a failure.
If you ask this question, your subordinates will definitely be able to hear that you don’t like things to happen, so their answer will tend to be “nothing”.
After a long time, he won't dare to tell you even if something happens. In the end, when the matter becomes serious, it's too late to say anything.
Therefore, the details reflect the leadership's management attitude.
Those of you who are leaders can refer to this opinion.
Li Xuewu is not a person who likes to make trouble, but he is a person who can listen to trouble.
No matter what it is, just dare to speak up.
Yu Li knew him well and marked out the weekly work priorities so that he could see the key information every time he came.
Li Xuewu served as the secretary general of Red Star Steel Group, and Yu Li served as his secretary general at the recycling station.
It's not easy for either Secretary-General.
"Has Zhou Ziqiang arrived in Beijing?"
After Li Xuewu sat down, he looked at the materials in his hand and asked, "Who picked him up?"
"We've arrived. Lao Si arranged for someone to pick us up." Yu Li replied softly, "He's resting in the guesthouse in the backyard right now."
After seeing Li Xuewu's expression, she asked, "It's almost time for dinner. I'll ask someone to go over and ask if he's awake yet?"
Having said that, I have asked someone. Even if the other party is resting, he will wake up.
That's what I meant. Zhou Ziqiang was just tired from taking the train and had nowhere else to go, so he could only rest in the guesthouse.
Li Xuewu's time is precious. The other party came just to see him, so he has to make arrangements as soon as he has time.
"Go ask. If you wake up, come sit here."
While looking at the materials in his hand, he said to Li without raising his head: "I'm not eating here at noon. I have a lot of things to do at home."
"Are you still worried about the nanny?" Yu Li said helplessly: "Even if you don't need me, Ou Xin and the others won't need me either."
"Don't make trouble—" Li Xuewu said with a smile: "It's okay to be a waiter in a guesthouse, but I can't afford to be a waiter in my house."
Yu Li had mentioned this a long time ago, and seeing that he was worried about the nanny, she volunteered to share his worries.
Li Xuewu trusted her, but he was afraid that his family members might be suspicious.
It’s not Gu Ning, it’s his mother.
His mother already knew about his relationship with Qin Huairu, not to mention Yu Li.
It doesn’t matter what happens outside. Although Yu Li didn’t grow up in a compound, she is a decent girl who got married.
How kind of person is he? How could Liu Yin, who lives next door, not know it? Her stomach was just like Qin Huairu's, with no movement at all, so she pretended not to know.
But if they really arrange to go home, Liu Yin, who doesn't want to let Gu Ning suffer any grievances, will definitely not be willing.
So Yu Li felt sorry for him and was doing it for his own good, but he didn't dare to accept this proactive friendship.
Yu Li didn't complain or get angry when he rejected her, which showed that he had been thinking about this matter, so she suggested asking Ou Xin and others to help.
Li Xuewu was even more unwilling.
He has no interest in Ou Xin, but Ou Xin is interested in him.
If you put a bone in front of a dog, which dog can withstand such a test?
Besides, Ou Xin and the others are all grown-up girls. They can’t just sit there and wait for everything to be provided for them at home, but they are just so-so at doing housework.
Yes, they have all worked as waitresses here, but how can a waitress here be the same as a nanny at home?
What Qin Jingru can do may not be something that Ou Xin and others can do, even though Yu Li said that Ou Xin can teach children to play the piano.
Even if Ou Xin can launch a nuclear bomb, it won’t work.
Yu Li went out for a while. Li Xuewu was absorbed in reading documents, while Zhou Xiaobai sat opposite him, looking at him with his arms propped up, bored.
It was not until Zhou Ziqiang followed Yu Li into the office that she stood up at Yu Li's signal and sat on the sofa.
"Boss..." Zhou Ziqiang felt a little restrained when he came here, and he felt even more restrained when he saw Li Xuewu behind the desk.
He also heard that this person had made progress again.
He didn't know much about the position of Secretary-General, but he knew that Li Xuewu was now the leader of the Red Star Factory.
The Red Star Factory was so powerful that it even opened a branch in Jicheng.
He was very nervous when calling out "Dong". He was afraid that Li Xuewu would be angry with him for not being sensible, and he was also afraid that he would call the wrong name by another name.
"Please sit down. You're welcome." Li Xuewu hadn't heard such a name for a long time. He smiled and nodded to the person opposite him.
"Hey, thank you, boss." After sitting halfway, he thanked Yu Li for the hot tea she brought him.
"Everything is fine at home?" Li Xuewu was still looking at the documents and asked casually, "I heard your wife is pregnant?"
"Uh——" How should he respond to this question?
Zhou Ziqiang put down the teacup in his hand awkwardly and said politely, "It's such a small matter, thank you for your concern."
"Hehe——" Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at him. He could tell at a glance what this kid was thinking.
This is because they are afraid of him. They are afraid that he knows everything about Jicheng and that he will use his wife and children to make trouble.
People who come from small places will inevitably feel timid when they come here, especially Zhou Ziqiang, who has only been to the capital a few times in his life.
He told Dachun that he was a wild boar and could not eat fine bran. He felt uncomfortable staying in the capital and decided to return to Jicheng.
There is no place better than your own home, and this saying is absolutely true.
Da Qiangzi is a well-known figure in Jicheng. He used to rely on his ruthlessness, but now he relies on his stability. He is definitely a top figure in society.
When I was making a living with Zhang Wanhe, everyone in the area around the station knew his name.
Now it is even more amazing. He has connections in every unit in Jicheng and is a standard template for a local tyrant.
But when he arrived in the capital and stood in front of Li Xuewu, he didn't dare sit on the chair fully, only half of his buttocks were sitting on it.
He took the tea, but didn't dare drink it. He just put it in front of his eyes and looked at it.
Why was he looking at the teacup? Because he didn't dare to look directly at Li Xuewu.
You say this is a bit mysterious. Li Xuewu is not a big shot, and his domineering attitude is bullshit. How could he make Da Qiangzi so scared?
Readers who have met important figures should have this feeling, especially face to face.
People in later generations will still say that the society is clear and bright, which gives everyone confidence. In this era, what can Da Qiangzi see when he comes out of the mountains and forests?
Looking at the furnishings in the office and Li Xuewu's dress, he dared to say that there was no one in Jicheng who was as impressive as him.
"How's work?" Li Xuewu could see that he was nervous, so he didn't talk about anything else and quickly got back to his comfort zone.
Out of confidence in his work, Zhou Ziqiang finally gathered his energy and reported the work in Jicheng to Li Xuewu.
Xilin did a good job, and basically all the local forces in Jicheng were defeated by her.
This is not surprising, because with the help provided by Li Xuewu, and the willingness to spend money, there is no barrier that cannot be opened.
The situation is the situation, and all units and departments have to operate.
No matter how much fun the kid makes, can he handle related matters?
At first, Xilin relied a lot on Zhou Ziqiang. Later, Li Xuewu went there and completely defeated Daqiangzi. Xilin was not so confident in using him anymore.
Now Zhou Ziqiang is in charge of the market operation of Jicheng, that is, the distribution aspect. The connection with forestry, finance and other work are all handled by Xilin himself or the Thirteen Taibao.
It seems that the business has expanded and one person is responsible for one thing, but in fact Zhou Ziqiang's business management scope is shrinking.
He could also feel this, but he didn't show any expression.
Firstly, he was sure that he had no ulterior motives and did not want to trouble himself or others anymore.
Secondly, Li Xuewu treated him well. No matter how Xilin used him, she had to try her best to maintain the relationship for Li Xuewu's sake.
Xilin is not a heartless and unreasonable person, and there is no negative derogatory or bullying in her use of him.
It's normal business management and he should be given the salary and benefits he deserves. Why should he feel aggrieved?
Now he can more than support his young wife and brother-in-law with plenty of money. He is also very powerful and enjoys the best food and drinks. What else should he be dissatisfied with?
This time he did not take the initiative to come to Beijing. It was Xilin who specially arranged for him to report on his work.
Last year, Li Xuewu arranged for his younger brother to join the army, and he has always kept this friendship in his heart.
Xilin also advised him that if he wanted to express his gratitude, he might as well take this opportunity to go to the capital and report on his work and life.
Who are they?
Although they seem to be thriving now, in fact, they are all "low-level" people who follow Li Xuewu to make a living.
Why do I say so? Just look at their backgrounds. If Li Xuewu hadn't given them opportunities and sheltered them, they would have been dead in this world long ago.
Therefore, it is necessary to report work to Li Xuewu, and it is also necessary to report life to him.
Li Xuewu would not be jealous of their good life, so there was nothing to hide.
Just like the matter of his young wife being pregnant, if Li Xuewu really asked about it himself, he would be the one who would feel uncomfortable.
Xilin had told him this a long time ago, but he was still a little embarrassed and hesitated to say it out loud.
In the end, it was Li Xuewu who expressed his concern and asked about it. He really felt uncomfortable.
"How is life with Celine and Green?"
After Li Xuewu finished talking about business and listened to his report, he asked this question with a smile.
Zhou Ziqiang twitched his lips and said with a smile: "I think they are a good match, but Ge Lin is a little... hard to describe."
If there was one thing about Jicheng that really frightened Zhou Ziqiang, it was definitely this man who was only 18 years old.
He didn't mean to say that Xilin was an old cow eating young grass, but actually he wanted to say that Green was usually quiet and it was not easy to see.
Li Xuewu misunderstood and looked at him meaningfully. The meaning in his eyes made Da Qiangzi's face turn red.
"I...I didn't mean that."
He is already in his twenties, but the wife he married is a young girl. If his parents had not passed away, leaving behind a little brother, she would never have married him.
When it comes to old cows eating young grass, he is the one.
Li Xuewu did not tease him any more. After reading the materials in his hand, he said, "I am very satisfied with your work in Jicheng, but there is one thing. The development to Bingcheng is a bit behind schedule."
He pointed at the documents in his hand and said, "You know Biaozi's work in Gangcheng, right? He has basically taken over the Fengcheng distribution point. The next step is to plant the flag there. What about you?"
"Yes, I admit that Jicheng's infrastructure is not as good as Gangcheng's, but it's not that bad, right?"
Li Xuewu looked at him and asked, "Hasn't your reputation as Daqiangzi much greater than Biaozi's in Steel City?"
"I am so ashamed. I apologize to the boss."
Da Qiangzi lowered his head in shame, without giving any reasons or objective conditions, and allowed Li Xuewu to scold him.
Li Xuewu didn't really scold him about this matter, but just mentioned it, "How is Dachun's brother Hu Haiyang doing in Gangcheng?"
"Yeah, they're fine. I went to see them when I came here." Da Qiangzi raised his head, looked at him and said, "Dayong is doing pretty well in Gangcheng. He told me that he learned a lot of real things under Brother Biao."
"Haha..." Li Xuewu chuckled, "I really can't think of anything real he can learn from Biaozi."
"Okay, as long as they both do well."
He looked at Daqiangzi and said casually, "It also saves Brother Wanhe and Dachun from always worrying about home."

PS: I should have finished writing this long ago. I couldn't sit still at the table and chair in the hotel room. I was so tired. There was no air conditioning in the public area upstairs. I argued with the hotel for a while. I was delayed. Sorry.
