Chapter 1357 The top is nothing anymore
"Dongfeng Construction? Dad?"
Lao Biaozi stared in surprise and asked, "Is it his fault, or is there someone else who is betraying him?"
"Now that you're making money and living a prosperous life, you always want to solve the problem of identity and treatment." Shen Guodong blew the leaves in the teacup and said lightly: "I can understand that."
Wen Saner looked at him with some confusion, then looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Dongfeng Construction is now..."
"Uncle, you're not at home, so you may not know that Dongfeng Construction is very different now than before."
Shen Guodong took a sip of hot tea and explained, "After contracting several major projects of the Red Star Factory, our own framework structure and capital accumulation have been initially completed."
"Brother Wu couldn't bear his pleading and gave him a chance. It was just when the Red Star Factory was completing a personnel change, and many workers were laid off from the production workshop. They needed to be resettled in the form of an engineering team."
"You may have heard about the current situation. Even junior high school graduates have no job placement, let alone them."
He put down his teacup, spread out his hands and stroked them, introducing: "If the enterprise wants to complete the resettlement of workers, it can only set up a professional engineering and construction company. It just so happens that the Red Star Factory has a lot of projects."
"It just so happens that the foreign company, the Santaya Group, which cooperates with the Red Star Factory, also wants to get involved in the mainland's engineering machinery and construction market."
"Originally, Dongfeng Construction had nothing to do with it. It was Brother Wu who took the initiative to coordinate and arrange it, which led to the tripartite cooperation."
Shen Guodong nodded and said, "Dou Yaozu represented Dongfeng Construction as a shareholder representative and entered the Red Star Steel Group United Construction Engineering Corporation as the deputy general manager."
"Before the cooperation, he was terrified, afraid that the money he earned would bite his hand, so he thought about getting an identity."
"After the cooperation, he has an identity. Now he wants treatment and to solve organizational problems. He may make trouble again for a while."
“Solving organizational problems…”
Wen Saner and Lao Biaozi both frowned, while Yang Erhai, who was sitting aside, just smiled. He could see the changes in the past year since he returned to Beijing.
Dou Yaozu rose from a bricklayer to become the vice president of a large company. Now he even owns a car and is very rich.
It's just that Kuo was walking too fast, his steps were not steady, and his heart was too active, it looked like he was going to betray his own people.
"Did you see the precedent of yours?"
Lao Biaozi had come back several times, so he naturally knew that Brother Wu had helped Shen Guodong solve organizational problems, but the situations of the two were different.
What is Shen Guodong's identity? He is a local resident, poor for generations, helpless, and has been running a business in the street for two or three years.
Just because he leads the boys to do good things, does Dou Yaozu have the ambition, qualifications and conditions to do so?
Dou Yaozu’s family was a group of craftsmen from the Imperial Household Department, who built courtyards for the royal family. They were wealthy in the past. How could they be compared with Shen Guodong?
First of all, he is not qualified in terms of his background. At least in this era, if he wants to join the organization, he can't even pass the review.
The reason why he was able to serve as the vice president of the construction company was because of Li Xuewu's connections. At the same time, with the support of Dongfeng Sanyi Construction Cooperative, he was thinking about solving the organizational problem.
"It's impossible to prepare for it, or else I'll tell you." Shen Guodong sneered, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. If you really sit with me, I really have to understand your enthusiasm and ambition."
"Bullshit, who the hell is he?"
Lao Biaozi was already furious, and he cursed loudly: "He came here to beg for a job, but if Brother Wu hadn't seen that he was honest, how could he have given him the opportunity to renovate the Red Star Factory Guesthouse?"
"Hmm..." Shen Guodong raised his lips slightly and said, "Maybe he has a new backer now."
He raised his chin, pointed in the direction of Li Xuewu and said, "Brother Wu, is he close to Li Huaide?"
Li Xuewu didn't say anything. He was just thinking about the conversation Zhou Miaomiao had with him a few days ago, which was about Dou Yaozu's situation.
On the day Li Xue came back, Zhou Miaomiao naturally came back as well, and Xu Ning, Zhang Songying and others also came with her.
The Gangcheng training class was disbanded and went on holiday after the welcome party, and the group is also preparing for the inspection and appointment of relevant personnel.
Some comrades who have already decided on their destination naturally do not need to wait around, but should understand their work situation in advance.
So these days, trainees from the training classes came to the group leaders to report their work from time to time, and Zhou Miaomiao was one of them.
Her job destination has already been determined: Director of the Brand Department of the International Business Unit, mainly responsible for product and brand operations.
We cannot say that there are specific people for specific posts. After all, the group's sales work has taken a different path. Posts are set up when there is a need, and posts require professional talents. If there are no talents, we have to train them ourselves.
Therefore, Zhou Miaomiao is a professional talent trained by the group for this position, and she also learned knowledge in this area when she went to Gangcheng.
She was quite clever. After six months of training, she had not completely forgotten her roots. She came to Li Huaide right after leaving him. She mainly talked about her training and learning, as well as her thoughts and attitudes towards the next job.
Only at the end, she mentioned in a very vague manner that the day after they arrived in Beijing, Dou Yaozu hosted a banquet for her and Lao Li.
In name it was a welcoming banquet, but she and Lao Li knew exactly why Dou Yaozu was there.
The reason why I brought her along was simply because I felt that my relationship with Lao Li was not close enough.
But this time it was different. Zhou Miaomiao deliberately went to the bathroom to give the two of them space to talk privately, but she heard something she shouldn't have heard.
Dou Yaozu was really generous. His cloth bag was so bulging with two thousand yuan in cash that it looked like it was about to be unable to fit in. It was really scary.
In addition, he bought three properties for Lao Li in the Workers' New Village. Although they were not big, they were all real money.
There is no doubt that these three properties are for Lao Li to keep his mistress. All the cadres above the deputy director level in the group are arranged to live in the Riverside Park residential area, so there is no need to buy a house here.
What made Zhou Miaomiao uncomfortable was that Lao Li actually gave one of the properties, the one downstairs from their house, to Han Lu.
Knowing that it was Dou Yaozu who did this, Zhou Miaomiao was not willing to comply and had already been holding a grudge against him.
That’s right, everything Dou Yaozu did and said was reported to Li Xuewu.
In fact, Dou Yaozu treated his godsister very well. He bought her a car when she asked for one and a house when she asked for one.
I won’t talk about all these, but I’ve bought so many sets of big gold chains and small watches, and even made a gold man.
Just because of one negligence, he did not notice that one of the three properties given to Lao Li was just downstairs from Zhou Miaomiao's house.
He didn't expect that Lao Li would foolishly arrange Han Lu to live in that property. Was it for the convenience of one-stop service?
"When he wanted to form a joint venture with the city's construction company, I pushed him and let him form a cooperative."
Li Xuewu explained: "He wanted to arrange all those civil engineering brothers into the company, and I pressured him to use more professional talents."
"Even when they were cooperating with Red Star Factory and Santaya Group, I pressured him to professionalize Dongfeng Construction and hand over such professional matters as management to professionals."
"No wonder—" Lao Biaozi raised his eyebrows, "Even if he has a good temper, he would be annoyed after being suppressed by you three times in a row."
"But this is all for his own good."
Shen Guodong frowned and said, "With his brain, if Brother Wu hadn't reminded him time and time again, would he still be where he is today?"
"He really has no idea what's going on. He actually dared to go to the forum and talk to Li Huaide. He is a heartless and heartless person who eats people without leaving any bones."
"You can't stand steadily without falling down."
Wen Saner himself was deeply touched. He lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling and said, "If I had known this day would come, I would have been more cautious, done things more practically, and stopped talking nonsense."
"Hey, this sentence is a bit gangster." Shen Guodong patted his shoulder and said, "Why don't you talk to Dou Yaozu?"
"Haha, Dou Yaozu is still stubborn and refuses to change his ways." Yu Li came over to refill their teacups with hot water and said calmly, "Even if you kill your third uncle and put him in front of you, he won't wake up and will just go in."
"Then I'd better not talk to him." Wen Saner looked at her with amusement, "I'll lose my life again."
"Hahahaha——" several people laughed out loud.
The atmosphere became lively again, and no one took Dou Yaozu's unusual behavior seriously.
"There's no point getting angry with him." Shen Guodong advised Li Xuewu, "Anyway, we didn't invest any money, let alone receive any money."
"Even if he breaks, it has nothing to do with us. At worst, we can turn around and put the blame on him."
"Zhou Changli has been quite promising in the past two years." Li Xuewu did not consider Dou Yaozu's problem for the time being. Since he had no clue, he would put it aside for the time being. He looked at Yu Li and said, "Go to Gangcheng and talk to Zhou Yamei to see how to use this kid."
"One Zhou Changli may not be enough." Yu Li looked at him, "Even if you are going to Liaodong after the New Year, you can't put too much energy on these things. You have to have someone useful."
"What do you think of Zhao Lao Si?" Li Xuewu thought for a moment. If he wanted to hire someone from the club, he had to ask Yu Li's opinion. "His brother Lao Wu is in the frontier, and Lao Liu is also in the club, right?"
"Well, I think he can go." Yu Li nodded and said, "I think he is pretty steady in his work and hasn't done anything out of line. He has been trained here for a few years and he can be put to good use."
"Then let him go with you to Steel City." Seeing that she had no objection, Li Xuewu decided to do so. "Have a good talk with him, and let his brother, Lao Liu, take over the job of the club's security department."
At this point, Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's Lao Liu's name?"
"Zhao Dehai. The fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers, Dezhu, Debiao, and Dehai." Yu Li smiled and replied, "I remember them very well."
"They are all ruthless people." Lao Biaozi looked at her with a chuckle and said to Shen Guodong, "I heard that Lao Wu is doing well?"
"Haha..." Shen Guodong found it funny just thinking about it, "Well, that's good. Ding Wanqiu likes him very much."
-
"Don't be afraid when you go to Hong Kong City. Your third uncle has left some backup plans for you there."
When Wen Saner saw that everyone had left and his nephew was the only one left in the office, he dared to speak out.
"Don't look down on me, your third uncle!"
He held Lao Biaozi's hand and said earnestly, "Third uncle has a few friends over there who can help you."
"Don't look down on them. They are all useful." As if he was afraid of being looked down upon by his nephew, he waved his hand to the chair beside the bed and said, "Sit down, sit down, I'll tell you something."
"Uncle, just give me their addresses and names." Lao Biaozi looked at Brother Wu and his friends who were leaving the door, and he felt a little anxious. He shook off his uncle's hand and said, "They are just a few women, do I need you to teach me how to use them?"
"What nonsense is this!"
***
"Leave Dou Yaozu's affairs to me, and don't worry about it."
Shen Guodong put out the cigarette butt in his hand on the sole of his shoe and said confidently: "You don't need to worry about such a small matter."
"What on earth are you thinking?"
The old man who caught up with him scratched his forehead and said with a curled lip: "You have made progress by going to Steel City, but you are not going down."
"Old Li is already the top boss. No matter how capable he is, how long can he stay at Red Star Factory? Can he last as long as you?"
He thought about this and still felt a little resentful. "I would say why bother with that effort? Just find an opportunity to destroy him."
"Where do you think this is? You can do whatever you want." Shen Guodong frowned and said, "Be careful when you go to Gangcheng. Don't act recklessly."
"Steel City is not as good as Beijing, and Hong Kong City is not as good as Steel City." Yu Li looked at Lao Biaozi and reminded him, "Once we cross the sea, we will be powerless. You will have to rely on yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm a coward." Lao Biaozi also felt that he was too arrogant, and said embarrassedly: "I will be cautious when I go to Hong Kong this time, and communicate more with Ji Weidong and Sister Lou."
This was to deal with Li Xuewu, as if he knew what he wanted to say.
In fact, Li Xuewu didn’t want to say this, but after he said it, he didn’t know how to start the conversation.
Yu Li saw through his thoughts, raised her hand and patted Lao Biaozi's arm, and reminded him softly: "Be careful."
"Cooperation is cooperation, but only we are family." She looked at Lao Biaozi meaningfully, "People's hearts change after being away from home for a long time."
"Uh - you mean..." Lao Biaozi was shocked by her words, and then looked at Li Xuewu in disbelief, but he did not see any surprise on Li Xuewu's face.
"I was too embarrassed to say it in front of my uncle just now."
Shen Guodong lit another cigarette for himself, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid his self-esteem can't bear it. After all, it's still hurt."
“How is it possible?” Old Biaozi was a little worried. He looked at Li Xuewu and asked, “Ji Weidong and us…even if he…Sister Lou…”
"Just keep this in mind." Li Xuewu raised his hand and patted his shoulder, admonishing him, "Be careful when you go there."
"Take as much as you can from Third Uncle's work. Don't try to be stubborn. If you can't do it, hand it over."
He emphasized seriously: "At the same time, we should also pay attention to the reactions and attitudes of all parties. If we can find out the truth about Third Uncle, we should do so. If we can't find out the truth, we should let it go."
"They really dare--" Lao Biaozi felt very complicated and a little bit unbelievable.
"I hope this is all speculation."
Li Xuewu became serious, stared into his eyes and said, "It is precisely because of the mountains and seas that we cannot easily draw conclusions."
"But the reality is here. Zhang Wanhe's men suffered heavy casualties, and my third uncle was seriously injured. He got into trouble and had to return to the mainland."
He squeezed his brother's shoulder, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come down and talk to your third uncle and ask him about his situation over there."
"If you really are bothering someone, or if you are sure they want to squeeze us out, don't be impulsive."
Li Xuewu couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes, but his words were full of sincerity as he warned his brothers, "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."
"Hong Kong is just a tiny place. Our roots are in the mainland."
"I agree with that. Brother Wu is right." Shen Guodong looked at Lao Biaozi and reminded him, "Don't be impulsive when something happens. Saving your life is the most important thing."
"Don't worry, I understand."
After listening to what the others said, Lao Biaozi was mentally prepared and his attitude became serious.
"I shouldn't be in any trouble this time." He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "If something happens to me again, they won't be able to explain it."
"Just in case. It looks like the other party is going to kill me."
Yu Li has been in charge of communications for three years and has some understanding of the situation in Hong Kong City, so she said this.
"You don't have to chase after them too hard after you get there. Ji Weidong and Lou Xiao'e will give us an explanation for this matter."
She glanced at Li Xuewu, and then said to Lao Biaozi, "If this matter is left unresolved on their side, then you should be careful."
"If they encourage you to investigate this matter, then you should withdraw immediately. There is still room for maneuver."
"I really didn't expect that, that haunted place..." Lao Biaozi gritted his teeth and said, "Even if a person goes there, will he become a ghost?"
"Why are you saying this? If you don't want to go, I'll go." Shen Guodong said firmly, "We have to go and see if it's a human or a ghost."
"No, if it's a human, it's still easy to deal with. If it's really a ghost, then I have to subdue it."
Lao Biaozi was straightforward and got rid of the inner demons. Now he showed a strong face, "I am the best at exorcising demons and monsters."
***
"Brother Wu, I have something to tell you."
A few people stood in the yard and talked for a few words. When they were about to see Li Xuewu off, Lao Biaozi took the initiative to pull Li Xuewu's arm.
Li Xuewu glanced at him and knew that he was in trouble, so he went with him and asked Shen Guodong and the others to go back first.
"Tell me, is it about Qinglan?"
When Yuli and the others were far away, Li Xuewu asked, "If you are worried about Qinglan and her mother, you don't need to tell me this."
"Even if you don't go to Liaodong, I'm relieved that Qinglan is at home." Lao Biaozi smiled and said, "Besides, there are still my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Then what do you want to say?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Do you not want to go, or do you have other ideas?"
"It's Su Qing. I want you to take care of her." Lao Biaozi said embarrassedly, "She may graduate next year. I..."
"You haven't broken up yet?"
Li Xuewu was really surprised. He glanced at the busty guy and asked, "What attracted her to you?"
“Hehehe——” Lao Biaozi smiled and said shamelessly: “Maybe it’s because I look good.”
"You even lied to your brother, didn't you?"
Li Xuewu thought it was funny that Su Qing, a college student from a finance university, had actually been following him for two or three years.
"Did you give her a lot of money, or did someone get killed?"
"No, none of them—"
Seeing Li Xuewu's expression change, Lao Biaozi was also startled, and quickly waved his hand to explain: "We really love each other."
"Su Qing is truly in love, but what about Mai Qinglan?" Li Xuewu's face turned even worse. "Don't be ridiculous. They already have a child."
"Qinglan and I are sincere too."
Lao Biaozi looked embarrassed, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, dear brother, you have to help me."
"I'm going to Hong Kong City for work and career, but I can't tell Su Qing." He clapped his hands and said, "The key is that I can't explain it."
"You can't say I'm on a secret mission and won't be back for two or three years. She'll think I'm a good person and want to run away!"
"I really didn't realize that you are still a playboy!"
Li Xuewu had to admit that he had made a mistake. Among the brothers he played with back then, the one most likely to learn his romantic ways was Shen Guodong.
Shen Guodong is good-looking, especially with his sweet talk and his ability to coax people. If he really lets go, he can win the hearts of many girls.
But surprisingly, Shen Guodong has always been in love with Xiaoyan. In the past few years, he has been in charge of business in Beijing, and he has met many beautiful girls, but he has not been moved.
Look at Lao Biaozi again. He is not tall, fat and looks bad. How can he be liked by girls with such a character?
Even if he racked his brains, he could not have imagined that Lao Biaozi could learn all his skills, especially from a college student.
Li Xuewu never said he was dating a college student at the beginning. By comparison, Lao Biaozi is the real playboy.
The red flag at home is not down, but the colorful flags are fluttering outside?
-
"Hello, Secretary General—"
"grass--"
Li Xuewu was reviewing documents when he was startled by the sudden loud voice, which even made a scratch on the document.
"You did it on purpose, right?"
Looking at Xu Ning standing at the door, Li Xuewu greeted him unhappily, "Come in."
"Yes!" Xu Ning smiled and came over to take a look, then said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, boss, I really didn't mean it."
"That's because you think I'm deaf and you're afraid I can't hear you, right?"
Li Xuewu pointed at the chair opposite him, glared at him and asked, "The holiday hasn't ended yet, why are you running over here?"
"I'm always at your service."
Xu Ning smiled and said, "What if you need me? Even if you don't need me, it's good to chat with you."
"You went to Hong Kong City to learn the art of talking, right?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at him and said, "You weren't like this before. Why are you so slick now?"
"Hey, the leader criticized me." Xu Ning's face became serious, he sat up straight, and reported seriously: "I accept the criticism from the leader, and I will reflect on my mistakes and actively learn..."
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out. I'm busy." Li Xuewu was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He lowered his head and continued to work on his work.
"Something's going on, something's going on." Xu Ning pulled the corner of his mouth, and seeing Li Xuewu lowering his head, he leaned on the desk and asked softly, "Leader, my work matter..."
"What's your job?" Li Xuewu asked without even looking up, "Didn't you already finalize it before you left?"
"Yes, it has been implemented." Xu Ning asked hesitantly, "Just going to the Energy Corporation, my ability... is not enough?"
"Are you telling the truth?" Li Xuewu looked up at him when he saw that he was serious.
Xu Ning also replied seriously: "Sincerely, how dare I be false in front of you? I am really a little unsure."
"It's a good thing that you still know how to be afraid."
Li Xuewu put away the pen in his hand, looked at him and said, "Although I recommended you to go to the Energy Corporation, I didn't make the final decision."
"I know, I heard about it too." Xu Ning looked at him and said, "It was Director Li who gave me the nod to go. But that's why I'm a little vague."
"United Energy Corporation is a bit complicated." Li Xuewu said thoughtfully, "I let you go there because I value your ability and execution."
"You've done a great job in the Frontier Office, and Director Li has seen it all." He nodded and explained, "Sending you to Hong Kong City for training is also to put you in a more challenging position. The leaders want to train you."
"I feel Director Li's support and care, but..." He looked into Li Xuewu's eyes and didn't say the second half of the sentence, "The leader arranged for me to go to the Energy Corporation. What goals and actions do they need me to achieve?"
Xu Ning worked in the Security Department, the Guesthouse, the Steel City Security Department, and the Frontier Office. He also underwent half a year of off-the-job training in the port city and finally got trained.
Judging from his thinking ability during the conversation, there would be no problem in placing him in the Energy Corporation.
"The organization will talk to you later." Li Xuewu nodded and said, "But since you are so anxious, it's good to be prepared."
"I believe you are familiar with the situation of the Energy Corporation. On the one hand, it is foreign cooperation, mainly in terms of technology and economy; on the other hand, it is production standards and management systems, which are the core combat effectiveness of our group."
"The most crucial point is that Ji Jiuzheng, the head of the Energy Corporation, has just passed the group's test, but he only received a passing grade."
Li Xuewu pointed at the desk, looked at Xu Ning and emphasized: "Your task is to bring the group's advanced management experience and your own methods over there."
"At the same time, we will help Ji Jiuzheng complete the establishment and development of various branches of the Energy Corporation. Especially the technical cooperation and economic development."
"I am mentally prepared for management and technology." Xu Ning specifically asked, "Will we also complete the negotiation and sales of mineral resources, metal materials and other economic cooperation?"
"That depends on the specific business arrangements." Li Xuewu nodded and introduced: "The Energy Corporation is involved in a lot of businesses, which are very extensive."
"For example, the group has already decided that electricity will be operated independently by the Energy Corporation, including sales, and will not be involved with the Sales Corporation."
He pointed at the desk and continued, "But for refined oil and rare metals, since they involve outlet management and export operations, you need to reach a cooperation with the sales head office and divide the management according to the upstream and downstream."
"The Energy Development Corporation has a wide range of businesses and a particularly complex equity structure. It involves livelihood security businesses such as heat, gas, and pipeline networks. You need to be careful, conduct more research, and make decisions with caution."
"As for the equity structure..." Xu Ning hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Why do you involve so many mothers-in-law? I heard that our group doesn't seem to be short of this money, right?"
"What does lack of money have to do with it?"
Li Xuewu glanced at him and asked, "Didn't you learn business management in Gangcheng? Sometimes joint ventures are not just about economics."
"Besides, who told you that our group doesn't lack money?"
He paused, and then emphasized to Xu Ning: "The Energy Development Corporation has several branches, including the Mining Branch, the Power Branch, the Thermal Energy Branch, the Energy Security Branch, and the Pipeline Network Branch. Can we manage them all?"
"It's not like you can just give me 10 machine tools and train a few dozen workers. This requires a complete management system to support it."
Li Xuewu pinched his fingers and emphasized: "These branches and businesses should correspond to our group's metallurgical plants, other professional enterprises such as Jingcheng Chemical Plant, Fengcheng Refining and Chemical, Liaodong Coal, etc."
"Is it enough to have technology, management and a factory? We also need money to operate it. These products need to be refined, detailed, large and strong."
He snorted and said, "Our group is so big, do you think this is just a small thing? You have to change this mindset as soon as possible."
"We have absorbed so many cooperative units and capital channels in order to break through the barriers of various systems as quickly as possible without any foundation, and complete internal cooperation and external export business."
"Remember, be modest and don't panic or get upset." Li Xuewu knocked on the table and looked at him and reminded him, "No matter how complicated the work is, there will be a day to sort it out, and no matter how difficult the situation is, there will be a time to break the ice."
"I'm asking you to go to the Energy Development Corporation. I'm asking you to steer the wheel, but I'm also asking you to carry manure. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Xu Ning stood up and answered seriously: "I am just a manure truck driver."
"Get out-"
-
"Peng Xiaoli, what do you mean?"
Wang Lu was really annoyed. She stared at the embarrassed Peng Xiaoli and asked, "What are you doing? I introduced you to someone and you didn't even meet him. Now you're telling me that he's not suitable, right?"
"No, that's really not what I meant."
Peng Xiaoli didn't dare to provoke her, and waved his hands to explain: "I went to her workplace to ask around, and I just felt that..."
"Why don't you go to the personnel department to inquire about her!" Wang Lu said with eyes wide open: "Are you looking for a partner, or are you selecting an organization personnel?"
"Does anyone look at a partner's work status? Just look at yourself, and are you satisfied?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have done that." Peng Xiaoli knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he kept admitting his mistakes. "But now they don't want to see me anymore. There's no point in talking about this anymore, right?"
"Don't try that on me. Peng Xiaoli, you are nothing."
Wang Lu narrowed her eyes and said, "You've seen Li Xue come back, and you've started to get jealous again, right? Fine, I'll just meddle in other people's business."
"Let's wait and see if you can find anything good—"
"Hey! Hey——" Peng Xiaoli chased for a few steps, but failed to catch up with Wang Lu. He felt so embarrassed when he saw her leaving angrily.
Nowadays, apart from the trade unions who will take the initiative to help employees get together and introduce potential partners, few people would talk about this unless they have a good relationship with their colleagues.
To have a matchmaker, you must first have a guarantor before you can have a matchmaker.
Peng Xiaoli went to the hospital privately to check on the young nurse, which really pissed off the nurse, and even Wang Lu would be annoyed.
This means that Wang Lu is not trusted, and the nurse is not taken seriously. If you really want to see her working conditions, then make an appointment in advance.
You go there so quietly. If people know that you want to learn about your blind date's work environment and personality, then people who don't know would think you are choosing a concubine.
Who is choosing whom? We are all equal. Even if it is a blind date between a man and a woman, there should be respect.
Wang Lu heard from the nurse that Peng Xiaoli went to another department to inquire, and her face turned red instantly, she was so angry.
Li Xue happened to come back again. Some people in the office teased Peng Xiaoli, so Wang Lu got angry when he came here today.
Judging from the way Peng Xiaoli acted, her curse of "a piece of shit" was not wrong at all.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Gu Cheng heard the noise and came out of the office, bumping into Wang Lu. Seeing that her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes, he asked with a smile.
But Wang Lu was already angry, and when she saw Gu Cheng's nonchalant look and thought of his relationship with Peng Xiaoli, she became even angrier.
"Don't be so frivolous, you are all the same. I get annoyed when I see you."
"Who? Birds of a feather. Me? - Who did I offend?"
Watching Wang Lu walking by angrily, Gu Cheng was stunned by the scolding, and then looked at Peng Xiaoli at the other end of the corridor with amusement and anger.
"Hey, I'm so redundant!"
He walked over with a curled lip, looked at his best friend and complained, "I feel so bad about being scolded like that."
"It's okay. I don't care." Peng Xiaoli pretended to be generous and comforted him, "She hasn't said that we are in cahoots with each other, in collusion with each other, and in collusion with each other."
"If you say so, then I should go over and thank her, right?"
Gu Cheng felt more and more uncomfortable the more he listened, and looked at him and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have kowtowed to her when she first came over."
"Hey, we're all good friends, why worry about it?" Peng Xiaoli patted his arm and said, "I'm still here, I'll help you explain and say a few good words later."
"You, just forget it."
Gu Cheng slapped his hand away, brushed his arm, looked at him with a curled mouth and asked: "You are the one who caused the trouble, why should I bear the consequences?"
"Oh - I see -"
He raised his finger and pointed at Peng Xiaoli, saying meaningfully, "I heard a few days ago that Wang Lu helped you arrange a blind date."
"Really? Did you see Li Xue coming back again and embarrass her? I knew it, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry."
"Who dares to dig her out?" Peng Xiaoli said awkwardly, "It's not what you think. I really want to go on a blind date."
"That's right... After all, it's a blind date and we haven't met each other." He explained hesitantly, "I just wanted to go over and ask around."
"Throw away..." Gu Cheng rolled his eyes, looked at his disappointing appearance and said, "I really didn't teach you. Is this something you can do?"
"If you're worried about Wang Lu and think her words are unreliable, you can always ask a friend to go over and take a look. Or even ask your mother to go over and take a look."
"Who could have thought of this?" Peng Xiaoli said frustratedly, "This is my first blind date too, I'm not as experienced as you."
"You are so rude." Gu Cheng bared his teeth and wanted to slap him, "You deserve it for not being able to find a partner, you deserve it."
"Get lost..." Peng Xiaoli was also very annoyed, curling his lips and saying, "If you can't find this, I can find something better."
"If you keep doing this, I don't believe it." Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, pointed behind him, and coughed lightly to remind him: "Your retribution has come."
Peng Xiaoli turned his head suddenly and found that it was Li Xue who came out of Deputy Director Jing's office and saw the two of them.
"You're not on vacation, are you summoned by your boss?"
Before Peng Xiaoli could figure out how to greet her, Gu Cheng spoke first and waved to Li Xue.
Li Xue thought about it, then walked over and said with a smile: "No, I just thought I had some work to hand over, so I came over to tell my boss."
"The secretary that Deputy Director Jing is looking for?"
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "I have been worried about you for half a year. I am afraid that you will come back to continue serving Deputy Director Jing. I am looking forward to your career advancement."
"Then I have to thank him." Li Xue knew he was joking, so she responded jokingly. "You guys are not busy at work today."
It was not until this moment that she looked at Peng Xiaoli, only to see that he was avoiding her gaze, as if he was afraid to see her.
"I'm still the same." Gu Cheng laughed and said, "Deputy Director Su took care of me, worried that I would get tired. It was mostly the desk work."
"Xiao Li has improved, you know that?"
He really cared about his brother and took the initiative to introduce him as "the deputy section chief in charge of production at the Wufeng Beverage Factory of the Food Corporation."
"Yeah, I heard about it. Congratulations."
"Thank you, and congratulations." Peng Xiaoli forced a smile, raised his head and said, "Did the leader talk to you about your next arrangements?"
"Yes, we did. They just told me." Li Xue nodded and said, "Let me go to the Finance Department for training."
"Deputy Section Chief? That's incredible!"
Gu Cheng widened his eyes in surprise and said, "After all, he came back from training in Hong Kong. This must be very valuable!"
Listen carefully. If Li Xue said she was going to the Finance Department, then she would be the head of the Finance Department. If she said she was going to the Finance Department for training but didn't say which department, then she would be the deputy head.
"From clerk to section officer, directly to deputy section chief."
Peng Xiaoli was also amazed when he heard the news. He looked at Li Xue with envy and said, "I have to say congratulations again. Congratulations to you."
"Thank you, and congratulations." Li Xue smiled faintly and said, "I heard that you went on a blind date? How is the person? Don't forget to notify me if you attend the wedding."
"Well, you guys keep chatting." Gu Cheng saw that things were not going well, pointed in the direction of the office and said, "I forgot that the leader had work for me."
Well, he was just saying that he had a lot of free time, but now he has become a busy man.
Gu Cheng ran away quickly without even giving Peng Xiaoli time to say a word. He left immediately.
Peng Xiaoli glared at him hatefully, but when he turned around he saw Li Xueliang's sparkling eyes and felt guilty for no reason.
"Um...I mean...have you had lunch?"
