Chapter 1359: Ran Qiuye found a partner?
In mid-December, the most hotly discussed issue in the agency was that Deputy Director Zhang's secretary Huang Jianguo took the initiative to surrender to the group's disciplinary inspection commission.
The reason why it has become a hot topic is that, in addition to Huang Jianguo's inability to fully explain the funds involved in the case, the related issues also involve Deputy Director Zhang.
On the day when Huang Jianguo surrendered himself, Deputy Director Zhang also took the initiative to review and explain himself to Deputy Director Gu and Director Li.
What followed was a dazzling series of meetings, as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up.
The conversation between Deputy Director Zhang and Secretary Huang Jianguo in the office was also leaked by someone, causing an uproar within the agency.
Suddenly, Huazi and Fenjiu became taboos in the relationship between the government and everyone avoided these when giving gifts.
When Li Xuewu learned from Wang Lu that those who were not short of money had followed his former preference and started smoking Daqianmen, he felt quite amused.
The problem lies with the people. What does it have to do with Huazi and Fenjiu? It can't be that these two things corrupted them.
"I heard that Deputy Director Zhang asked for leave after returning from the ministry, saying that he wanted to wait for the results of the investigation team above."
Wang Lu used a small watering can to water the flowers and plants in the office, while introducing the recent developments in the agency one by one.
Li Xuewu lowered his head to look at the document in his hand, and occasionally raised his pen to make comments.
Li Huaide talked to him, but the result was not satisfactory, which made the relationship between the two people more delicate.
Recently, everyone in the agency was in danger, especially facing the mad dog Zhou Zechuan. There were even fewer people wandering around the corridor on the third floor.
Old Li was very annoyed by Li Xuewu's lukewarm attitude, but confronting him just showed that Old Li had run out of tricks.
This time, Lao Li not only failed to gain anything but ended up losing the rice. Now he is in danger of getting into trouble himself.
He wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, but he didn't expect that he was the tiger in the game. Looking back, the tiger was sitting on the mountain, squinting like Maitreya.
Li Xuewu's "toughness" really caught him off guard, but it was by no means to the point of surrendering.
So even though the last contact ended unpleasantly, he did not lose his composure and continued to make fine adjustments. However, the development of the situation was a bit foggy, which made Li Huaide a little apprehensive.
Specifically at work, several topics submitted by the Secretary-General at the group meeting were rejected one after another, causing a lot of discussion.
If it was just one meeting it wouldn't be the case.
Whether it is business work, personnel opinions, or even administrative work, there have been interruptions.
What does it mean to find fault with something?
Several persons in charge of the General Management Department looked at each other in bewilderment at this situation, not knowing what to do.
Li Xuewu also knew that they had suffered an unprovoked disaster, but who could blame Old Li, as he was the boss? Even he could only bear it.
On the one hand, the two-level disciplinary and supervisory departments are engaged in case pursuit and auditing in full swing, while on the other hand, management problems are emerging one after another in the agency.
Suddenly, everyone realized that the Secretary-General was sitting there quietly, as if nothing had happened.
The work that needed to be reported was approved truthfully, and the tasks that needed to be issued were forwarded as usual, and it seemed that no one cared about this undercurrent.
He didn't even lose his temper or bang the table.
However, careful people can still find that the Secretary-General is out less often, even less than in the past few days.
Several personnel suggestions submitted by the Secretary-General a few days ago were rejected, and the Secretary-General’s research trips have been reduced a lot, to almost none.
Up to now, even the internal research and office meetings of the agency have been cancelled, which really feels like a storm is brewing.

"Director Liang, if we don't review this material, it will expire." When Xiao Qi from the office saw his leader passing by the door, he picked up the materials on the desk and chased after him.
Liang Zuodong looked back at him and her, frowned slightly, took the materials from his hand and asked, "What date is this? Why haven't you reported it yet?"
"I've reported it, and Director Li has called back twice."
The helplessness in Xiao Qi's tone was not concealed at all, and there was even a hint of fatigue and annoyance in his voice.
Liang Zuodong looked through it carefully and didn't find anything unusual, but he already knew what was going on.
"What did the Deputy Secretary-General say?"
"What else can we say? Just redo it." Xiao Qi looked in the direction of the deputy secretary-general's office and replied with a pursed mouth: "But no matter how we redo this material, it can't go beyond this outline. Can we still... can we still make up something?"
"Why are you complaining so much?" Liang Zuodong glared at her. "Well, write a new one and go directly to Director Li."
"Ah?" Xiao Qi widened his eyes in surprise, and the first thought that popped into his mind was that Director Liang was crazy.
The agency has its own office system, and all materials and applications must go through the process before they can be submitted to the leadership.
Only urgent application documents will be allowed to be taken to the leaders one level at a time for approval by a designated person.
It seems that the thing in her hand is not qualified to be submitted directly to the leader. Isn't this... reporting over the top?
"That's it. Let's show it to Director Li first."
Liang Zuodong ignored her, turned around and continued walking forward, then turned into the office.
Xiao Qi stood there thinking for a long time but still couldn't figure out how Director Liang, who was so cautious on weekdays, could make such a foolish decision.
Is it really possible to skip the Deputy Secretary-General and the Secretary-General and give the materials directly to Director Li?
"You can go if I tell you to."
The older woman sitting opposite came out with a thermos to get some water. As she passed by her, she gently reminded her, "Follow the leader's instructions."
"But..." Xiao Qi is a well-behaved girl and never does anything beyond her scope. This time, she is in a difficult position.
But the eldest sister was a good person. She glanced at her and asked, "Are you not in a hurry now?"
"I'm anxious, how can I not be anxious!" Xiao Qi stamped his feet and said through gritted teeth, "Forget it, never mind, let's try our best."
"What are you talking about--" The eldest sister looked at Xiao Qi who turned around and went back to the office, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what a child he is.
He is just a child. Xiao Qi couldn't understand why it was the same title, the same text, but it lacked the approval of the deputy secretary-general and the secretary-general. When it was sent to Director Li, it was actually approved. This is really... crazy, right?
She came out of Director Li's office holding the document, feeling both happy and confused. She was happy that the long-standing problem in her hand was finally solved, but she was confused about the difference between the document signed by the two secretaries-general and the document without signature.
"Are you so happy that you're going crazy?"
The eldest sister is a good worker. She had already asked her leader for help before she came back to get the bottle of hot water.
But the eldest sister was also kindhearted. She saw through her confusion and gently reminded her, "Be more careful. Next time, call her Deputy Manager Liang instead of Director Liang."

"It's nothing, there's no need to come here every day."
Liu Yin lay on the kang and smiled at her son. Although she said this, the smile on her face was full of relief.
Li Xuewu glanced at the IV bottle hanging on the curtain rod, turned to his father and asked, "Don't we need to go to the hospital?"
"Come on, I'm not going."
Before Li Shun could speak, Liu Yin had already waved her hand and said stubbornly, "It's not a big deal. It's not worth the hassle."
Li Shun didn't say anything, but his confident attitude had already answered his son's question.
He even thought his son was a bit annoying. Who is the doctor in this family? Who are you suspecting by asking this?
This was not the first time Li Xuewu had asked whether or not to go to the hospital, but Li Shun was too lazy to answer him.
"It's just the change of seasons. My throat is a little dry, and I didn't pay attention to it, so it got worse." Liu Yin knew that her son was worried about her, so she explained, "Just take some anti-inflammatory medicine and it will be fine."
"You still have to be careful not to develop pneumonia."
Li Xuewu naturally did not doubt his father's medical skills, but he doubted his attitude and his mother's stubbornness and reluctance.
For the sake of this family, my mother couldn't bear to be sick, and couldn't let go of the old and the young. Even if she hurt her hand while cutting vegetables, she would just treat it normally and disinfect it with alcohol, and then not take it seriously.
This time she fell ill, but if she had been able to hold on, she would not have needed an IV drip.
Considering the medical level and technology of this era, I can't help but talk too much and annoy my father.
Li Xuecai stood aside and smiled secretly. He had neglected the fire when boiling the medicine yesterday and had been scolded by his father. Today, he felt relieved when he saw his second brother nagging his old father again.
"Aren't you busy at work?"
After all, Li Shun couldn't bear to scold his son for his nagging. His wife enjoyed this filial piety, and he could only swallow it.
Thinking that his mother was ill and his sister-in-law had to go to work, the old lady was the only one at home taking care of the child. In recent days, Li Ning has been at home with Erya and has not sent the child here.
Even though he didn't send the child off, Li Xuewu would come to check on his mother early in the morning and evening, looking very worried about his mother.
The fire in the backyard was never extinguished. For fear of spreading the disease, the old lady took Li Tang to stay in the backyard during the day.
It was easy to prepare meals, as the back room could always cook a portion. Li Shun was on leave at home these days to take care of his wife.
"How can I not be busy? Just looking at him makes me feel tired."
Liu Yin looked at her son with concern, let out a long sigh, and began to talk about Brother Li Xuewu's childhood.
Li Shun sat on the side and listened silently. Li Xue only then realized that his mother was going to nag again, so he turned around and left with an excuse.
"Last time, the student was mumbling that the school seemed to have made arrangements so that they could graduate normally. Is that true?"
Watching her youngest son slip away, Liu Yin finally came to her senses. She felt sour in her heart, but she still cared about her son's future.
Li Xuewu sat on a stool next to the kang. He reached out and touched his mother's hand. It felt a little cold, so he got up and filled the IV bottle at home with warm water and placed it under her palm to warm it.
"I've been asking my sister-in-law about what she's saying, but there's still no definite news. They're saying all sorts of different things."
In fact, he knew in his heart that the employment problem of college students stranded in school would be solved next year, but he didn't want to say it too early.
It doesn't make any difference whether parents and family know this news earlier or later. They will still be concerned about it if you tell them earlier.
"Your sister-in-law has the same personality as you." Liu Yin smiled at her son's carefulness and filial piety, "If it's something that's not certain, she won't tell you. She just said that the school is also waiting for news."
"Then let's wait and see." Li Xuewu nodded and comforted his mother, "After all, he is now interning at the Chinese Medicine Hospital. As long as he doesn't go out to hang out, it will be fine. Sooner or later, he will have to make arrangements."
"I'm just thinking about the third child's marriage."
Liu Yin looked at the ceiling in the room and began to sigh, "It's been almost three years since he and Yuxiu got married. If we're not anxious, then our in-laws will be anxious. How can this go on forever?"
"It's a special situation. Did Yuxiu tell you about it?" Li Xuewu looked at the white hair on his mother's head and said in a gentler tone, "Just wait another half a year."
"You may also know that now, not to mention college students, even high school and middle school students are waiting for job assignments."
He explained to his mother: "In the past two years, the activities above have been one after another, and there must be time to summarize them."
“When will the summary be completed?”
"Okay, stop worrying about this." Li Shun couldn't stand his wife's worry and tried to persuade her, "He's not in the education system. Even if you ask him, how much can he know?"
Perhaps because their son was right beside them and they had lived like this all their lives, Li Shun did not think that the impatience in his tone would hurt his wife's feelings. However, Li Xuewu was the son.
"Mom, don't worry about the third child's marriage. The couple is very close and can't be separated even now."
"Go away, how can you tease your brother or sister-in-law?" Liu Yin scolded her son and said with a smile, "You are the eldest uncle."
"Isn't that the truth?" Li Xuewu was deliberately trying to make his mother laugh. He held her hand and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Your eldest grandson is running around the yard. You can enjoy more of the blessings in the future. If there is anything, let us take care of it. If there is really something that cannot be done, you can come out and give us a thumbs up and say a few words."
"You don't even want to listen now."
Liu Yin scolded him, but she was smiling. She looked at her son, but she had a thousand surprises in her heart.
What did I not expect? I thought that the eldest child was docile and sensible, and would be able to support the family and take care of the younger brothers and sisters. I did not expect that the second child, who was the most naughty, would mature quickly and support the family.
When she thought of her children being filial, successful in their careers, and having many grandchildren, she felt so happy that she wanted to cry.
"How is the internship at the Chinese Medicine Hospital going for the third child?" Li Xuewu saw the joy and sparkle in his mother's eyes. Afraid that she would be embarrassed, he turned to look at his father and asked, "Did you get into any trouble?"
"He's just doing odd jobs and learning from running errands. How could he get into trouble?" Li Shun nodded, and as if remembering something, he looked at his son and asked, "Did Zhao Yufeng ask about your third son?"
"Are you talking about graduation assignments?"
When Li Xuewu heard his father ask this, he smiled and replied, "He asked me once, but I didn't answer him."
"No matter what, the third brother is still a student who has not yet graduated from school. He needs to hone his medical skills and temperament."
He thought for a moment and continued, "Whether he works as a doctor at the United Hospital or as a manager at the Medical Corporation, it's not suitable. Let's wait until he has worked for a few years and then let him decide for himself."
"Well, the third brother has a very erratic personality."
Li Shun was relieved to hear his son say this, but he still warned him: "Don't spoil him too much, he's already twenty years old."
"Haha, I don't spoil him. I gave him the car for use at home. I don't need it." Li Xuewu knew that his father was not happy with him giving the car to the third son because he was afraid that he would get into trouble at a young age.
Li Xuewu knew his third brother very well. He liked new things, but he was timid and would not easily cause trouble.
The old lady is old and has a young child at home. Even if there is a car in the west yard, it would be inconvenient for a driver to drive.
If something urgent really happens, it will be too late to regret. There is only a Willys Jeep around, and no one cares if it leaks air or rain.
Having said that, in an age when riding a bicycle is considered the most fashionable thing, owning a car is still considered top-notch.
Ji Yuxiu didn't say it, but the third brother told him privately that many young nurses in the Chinese medicine hospital were sticking to him and were very proactive.
Even without Li Xuewu's warning, Li Xuecai would not dare to flirt with other girls. Ji Yuxiu treated him very well. Although she was very serious at work, she was kind and gentle around him. What else could he ask for?
"I was just about to ask you something." Liu Yin heard the two talking about their plans for the upcoming Chinese New Year, so she interrupted and said, "Jicheng, your uncle hasn't sent any letters in a long time. Have you asked?"
"I asked, it's good." Li Xuewu's expression calmed down and he comforted his mother, "Second uncle and second aunt are busy."
As he said this, he heard his father, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, sigh. The expression on his mother's face also became a little tense.
"Your second aunt cares most about face."
Liu Yin placed the arm that was not receiving the IV drip across her forehead and said with her eyes slightly closed, "How could she bear this?"
When Li Xuewu saw his mother reveal the matter in front of his father and then saw his father's reaction, he knew that the old couple had already talked about it.
"The past is the past, and we are not outsiders."
What could Li Xuewu say? He just consoled him by saying, "I told you when Xueli came here that you should not mention this matter again."
"If you can think this way, it will make your second uncle feel less guilty. I think he has had a hard time in the past six months."
Li Shun sighed and said, "Brothers and I won't be so embarrassed. Children are all debts."
What he meant was that his second uncle had lost face with his nephew, and his eldest sister's behavior really hurt him.
"How about...we go over there?"
Liu Yin was still worried. She turned to look at her husband, and then looked at her son with some embarrassment. "It's almost the New Year, and I'm afraid your second uncle's family won't have a good time this year."
Li Shun was also somewhat tempted, but he still waited for his son to speak, after all, this matter involved his son.
Li Xuewu knew very well the old couple's wishes. His father and mother were afraid that he would feel resentful, so they stopped them from going.
After all, they are brothers. How can we stop talking to each other forever just because of such a small thing?
The second uncle is too embarrassed to contact us, and as the eldest brother, Li Shun can't just keep feeling sad about his younger brother.
"Just go, there's nothing to do at home." Li Xuewu looked at his mother with a smile, "But you have to wait until you are better."
"Okay, it's almost there."
Seeing their son say this, Liu Yin and Li Shun were obviously relieved and their faces looked much more relaxed.
The couple got rid of their inner struggles and started to plan what to bring to their second uncle's house. Their faces also looked much more lively.
The son will be the head of the family from now on, and they will have to listen to his opinion on any decision they make.
This is the reason why “the first thirty years are about the father respecting the son, and the last thirty years are about the son respecting the father.”
***
"Brother! I've been waiting for you——"
As soon as he saw Li Xuewu getting out of the car, Zhou Xiaobai smiled and trotted towards him from the billiard room.
I don’t know who she learned this from, but she originally had short hair, but she grew it long in the past six months. Now she looks a lot gentler.
But this lively personality makes this gentleness more innocent. Especially in a gray and black cotton coat, it looks youthful and beautiful.
Li Xuewu didn't come here to "eat" her. Someone on the second floor of the office area was already waving and greeting them.
"Are you ashamed?" Li Xuewu was hugged by her neck and bitten by her. Although the hat was blocking his view, it still made people fantasize.
Zhou Xiaobai didn't care and said with a smile: "There are not many people in the club today. Everyone is hiding in the house."
"Are your parents busy again?" Li Xuewu took her towards the office area, asking casual questions.
Zhou Xiaobai came back from Tianjin two weeks ago. After drawing attention to Tianjin, she had completed her mission.
But after returning from Tianjin, before she could ask Li Xuewu for a reward, she was picked up by her father's driver and taken home.
No one knew where her parents got the news from, but they knew someone was going to investigate her workplace, so they asked her to go home for questioning. Originally, they were questioning her, but her mother noticed the change in her daughter, so she detained her and set rules for her at home.
After all, the daughter is grown up, and the couple is in a dilemma. If they talk too lightly, they are afraid that the daughter will not listen, and if they talk too deeply, they are afraid that the daughter will rebel.
Zhou Xiaobai’s experience in the past two years has not been in vain. His personality has matured a lot and he has also become more responsible.
She carefully explained her current career and ideals to her father, and also planned and elaborated on her future.
She took the initiative to confess her current relationship status, as well as her understanding and attitude towards love in front of her mother.
Looking at their grown-up daughter, the couple sat together and talked for a long time. In the end, they couldn't bear to push their daughter too hard.
It was her mother who took the initiative to talk to her about career, love and future ideals, and the result should be very good.
Although she was taken home and made to learn rules, her contact with the outside world was not cut off.
Zhou Xiaobai only called him once, and during that call she only said one sentence: I don’t want to leave any regrets in my youth.
Perhaps this sentence was also said to her parents, as a reason for her parents to understand her and let her go.
When they met this time, Zhou Xiaobai's mood was different. Although her parents did not comment on her career and ideals, they did not stop her struggle and love.
After putting down the psychological burden, the whole person becomes bright again, like a shining bud of youth.
She held Li Xuewu's hand, unwilling to waste any time, and expressed the pain of two weeks of separation.
Although Li Xuewu did not have much confidence in her and this strange relationship, he could understand her recent stress and hardship.
As she spoke, he responded and came to the office area chatting and laughing. Many people were waiting for him.
***
"Sit down, sit down, you're welcome, we're one family."
After Li Xuewu entered the room, he saw everyone standing up to greet him, so he waved his hand to skip the unnecessary greetings.
Zhou Xiaobai has become a lot more sensible in the past two weeks at home. He let go of hands before entering the door, and even found a corner to stand in after entering the door.
After he sat down behind the desk, Zhao Laosi glanced at Yu Li, then stood in front with his brother.
"Leader, I heard from Director Yu that you chose me to go to Gangcheng. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep for half the night." He said with gratitude, "I didn't have the ability before and didn't dare to think about it. Today I finally have the opportunity to repay your kindness."
No one knew where he learned the old rules of the underworld, or maybe it was taught to him by his master, but he bowed and fell to the ground.
"I, Zhao Laosi, am willing to lead the horse and fall on the stool for you, and die for you."
"I, Zhao Laoliu, am willing to be your dog and horse and guard your house..."
"What's going on?" Li Xuewu looked at the two with amusement and asked, "Are they going to sing a party? Did you teach him? Even the guards are out, it's quite noisy."
"Hehehe——" Everyone in the room laughed.
Li Xuewu pointed at Zhao Laosi and Zhao Laoliu and asked them to sit on the chairs opposite.
"Brother, isn't that what you said?"
Zhao Laoliu was a little confused. He clearly remembered that this was what his second brother taught him. Why didn’t his leader agree?
However, Zhao Laosi awkwardly slapped his brother's hand away, laughed dryly, and looked up at Li Xuewu behind the desk.
"Leader, I just want to express my loyalty."
"Yeah, I see. Sit down."
Li Xuewu smiled, looked at the two brothers, and said, "It has been almost three years since you came to the club. Time flies."
"After the New Year, it will be three years."
When Zhao Laosi saw that Li Xuewu had pointed to a chair for them to sit on, he pulled his brother and carefully sat down next to the chair.
But his body was stiff. He listened carefully to Li Xuewu's words and answered politely.
Li Xuewu also noticed his caution and didn't take it too seriously. He asked a few more questions to Zhao Laowu who was far away in the border area.
"It's fine. Tell me you can eat as much beef and mutton as you want."
When Zhao Laosi heard his leader asking about his younger brother, envy and a smile appeared on his face.
He nodded and replied, "My two younger brothers have simple personalities. Thanks to your care, they would have starved to death if they had gone out."
"Haha, not really." Li Xuewu chuckled, looked at Zhao Laoliu and asked, "Dehai, right? It's the 20th of the Chinese New Year?"
"Yes, twenty." Seeing that his second brother didn't say anything and just looked at him encouragingly, Zhao Laoliu grinned and answered.
Seeing his naive look, the people in the room also smiled and listened to Li Xuewu talking to them.
"That's good. You're a grown man now. You should start a family and take on some responsibilities." Li Xuewu nodded, looked at Zhao Laosi and said, "Hand it over clearly with your brother. If you have any questions, ask Yu Li."
"I have explained everything clearly. I have also asked Director Yu for help."
Zhao Laosi nodded and replied, "I have written down all the important things in the notebook. Let him get familiar with them in a few days."
"It's just the club anyway. If there are too many or too few, please understand and give some advice. You don't have to worry about this."
Yu Li is good at talking. Seeing that Li Xuewu and Zhao Laosi both mentioned her, she smiled and interrupted, "I care about him a lot, too."
"Thank you, Director Yu. I have no reason to worry about him being with you." Zhao Laosi is also a top student. He turned around and smiled politely, "If I hadn't been on my way to help the leader, I would have wanted to learn a few more skills from you. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to do my job well and delay the leader's important task."
"Look at what you said. It seems like I'm chasing you away." Yu Li carried the thermos to refill their water bottle with hot water and joked, "After leaving the club, I wish Fourth Brother great success."
"Thank you Director Yu, thank you for your care and support over the past two years, and thank you for giving me this opportunity. Thank you, thank you."
Like an old cow bowing to all directions, Zhao Laosi was very careful in his conduct. He thanked Li Xuewu, then Yu Li, and then thanked everyone in the room, leaving no room for regret.
Li Xuewu is his boss, and Yu Li is the person in charge of liaison with various branch offices in Beijing, both of whom he should curry favor with.
Even among the people in this room, any one of them is of higher status than their brothers, so they can't be so rampant.
The closer you are to Li Xuewu, the more valued you will be in the recycling system, unless you have a special skill.
He was born a troublemaker, and even now he still cannot see the root cause of the trouble hidden behind the chaotic situation in the capital.
Li Xuewu pointed him to Gangcheng, not only to give him an opportunity, but also to keep him away from this complicated vortex and save his life.
One more thing to mention, he left, but the position was given to his younger brother. Although the three brothers went their separate ways, they all had a future.
A favor that can never be repaid in a lifetime.
Grateful, endlessly grateful, he only hoped that just as Yu Li said, he would be able to rise to prominence and achieve immediate success.
***
"Brother Biao has returned to Gangcheng ahead of schedule. He needs to sort out relationships and make the handover with Sister Zhou. This will probably take half a month."
The second child, Yang Zhao, gave a report to Li Xuewu, and Yu Li supplemented it on the side. She knew that Li Xuewu wanted to train him.
"According to Brother Biao's opinion, he won't talk to Zhou Changli anymore. He'll leave this opportunity to Sister Zhou so that they can have a stable relationship."
Yang Zhao held the notebook in his hand, but he didn't even look at it. It was obvious that he knew the contents by heart.
Li Xuewu listened carefully, nodded from time to time, or took the initiative to ask a few people about the relevant arrangements.
Among them was the use of the Thirteen Guardians, as well as the handling and arrangements of Lao Biaozi's going to Jicheng to report the death.
Yang Zhaoyou's answer was incomplete, and Shen Guodong made a supplementary report on what Yu Li didn't know.
He also had another mission in the capital, which was to train follow-up forces. Li Xuewu set a small goal for them to completely build the trade and channel network of the entire Northeast in three years.
They were unsure about whether Lao Biaozi was going to Gangcheng and handing over the management of the entire Northeast to Zhou Yamei.
Originally, Yang Zhao and Shen Guodong wanted to go, but seeing that Brother Wu was determined to use this opportunity to train newcomers and the next generation, they gave up trying.
"Call Jicheng and tell Xilin to be prepared. If Daqiangzi can't solve the problem in Bingcheng, she will go there instead."
Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes slightly and arranged: "Third uncle should take good care of his injuries, even if it means taking a vacation."
Shen Guodong took the initiative to ask Wen Saner about his next work arrangements. It should be that Lao Biaozi asked for help because he was afraid that his uncle would worry.
Li Xuewu didn't respond much. He had already said a few days ago that he would arrange for Wen Saner to take over Dongfeng Construction.
Shen Guodong was more concerned. He was afraid that Wen Saner would not be able to adapt to the current environment in the mainland, so he wanted to find a job for him in advance.
"What was Third Aunt's reaction?" Li Xuewu didn't want to discuss this issue anymore. He looked at the others and asked with a smile, "Did you not beat him up?"
"Hehehe——" Several people chuckled.
Perhaps Shen Guodong saw it, and said with a wink: "Third aunt is such a smart person, how could she do that? I can't even show my concern and love for her enough."
"I finally understand. Women, you can't be too strong. It's better to use softness to overcome hardness."
According to Shen Guodong, Fei Shanying did not cry or make a fuss after seeing Wen Saner, and she did not even say a harsh word. She was only concerned about Wen Saner's well-being.
He didn't care that the younger generations were still there and hugged Wen Saner lovingly, which really stunned them.
In the end, Wen Saner couldn't bear to leave himself and didn't want those bastards to watch the live broadcast, so he drove them away.
As for what happens next, with my third aunt’s methods, my third uncle will never see the prosperity of Hong Kong City again in his life.
Of course, there are also his lovers.
Li Xuewu took these words as a joke, and after laughing for a while, he said a few words to his second child.
Yang Zhao understood that he would have to support the business in Tianjin in the future, and Zhou Xiaobai and Teacher Wu could no longer be relied upon.
Zhou Xiaobai was actually fine, he just followed along and did some formal work in the past two years. But Teacher Wu, if Brother Wu really had other uses for him, he would probably panic if he suddenly took over.
They had already seen how strong Li Xuewu's planning ability was, and they had long regarded his words as imperial decrees.
As long as he follows Brother Wu's instructions, he will not suffer any loss or go astray. Now he will do whatever he is asked to do.
The situation on Teacher Wu's side can be calm for a while, but Zhou Xiaobai's side is about to explode. I don't know how Brother Wu can bear to do that.

"Ho-"
After all, he is young, his lung capacity is incredibly high, his physical strength recovers quickly, and he doesn't show any sign of decadence.
No matter how hard he was hit, after resting for more than ten minutes he would be full of energy again and eager to get it back.
Li Xuewu, however, is a man who knows how to preserve his health. No matter how delicious the tea is, he won't drink it in large quantities, as drinking too much will give him stomachache.
"Do me a favor and go to the train station this afternoon to pick up two train tickets for me and give them to Yu Li."
"Where are you going? On business?"
Jumping off the bed, Zhou Xiaobai put his arms around his neck from behind and asked affectionately, "Can you take me with you too?"
"Two tickets, use your little head to think about it." Li Xuewu patted her butt with his hands behind his back and said jokingly: "Even if I need to go on a business trip, I don't need you to help me get the tickets."
"So it isn't—" Zhou Xiaobai slid down somewhat disappointedly, walked around and sat in front of him, but did not let go of his hand.
"My parents are going to my second uncle's house in Jicheng." Li Xuewu explained nonchalantly, "I have already informed them at the station, you can just go and get them, it's not convenient for me to go there."
"I know - hehe -"
Zhou Xiaobai greedily hugged him and took a bite, still unsatisfied and said angrily: "Why are you hiding?"
"Do you think I'm dirty, or do you think you're dirty?"
"Eh——" Li Xuewu grinned and glared at her, "How can a grown-up girl say anything?"
Well... those who have never been married and have no children are considered grown-up girls, right?
"I just want it--" Zhou Xiaobai shook her body, her eyes were seductive, and the desire in her eyes was so great that she wanted to eat Li Xuewu.
"Does it take one day and one night to go to Jicheng or two days and one night?"
She asked somewhat proactively, "Do you want me to find someone to help buy two sleeper tickets? It's easy."
"It has been arranged long ago. Why do I need to trouble you with such a small matter?" Li Xuewu looked at her with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhou should be a man who can do great things and should not be greedy for pleasure."
"It's no use, I don't want to listen--"
Zhou Xiaobai seemed to be welded to him and was unwilling to let go easily, no matter how he negotiated.
It's great to be young.

Being young is not always good.
After hearing about her son's great talent and strategy, Qin Huairu wished she could close her eyes and faint.
"You're going to drive me crazy—"
"I won't study anyway, you can do whatever you want, at worst I'll just skip classes every day."
Banggeng was thirteen or fourteen years old, which was the time when he had the most rebellious psychology, so he would not listen to his mother at all.
The more Qin Huairu talked, the less he listened. In the end, the mother and son had a falling out and neither of them spoke to each other.
A son may not listen to his mother, but as a mother you cannot ignore your son. After all, his future is related to his life.
The very next day after Banggeng decided to drop out of school, Qin Huairu found Ran Qiuye's home with a bag of fruit.
"Hey, Mom, why are you here?"
Ran Qiuye was really surprised. Although she had no contact with Qin Huairu, they were still familiar with each other.
Especially after the establishment of the joint school, after Ran Qiuye became the principal of the junior high school, he knew that Qin Huairu was the director of the guesthouse.
Both of them are cadres, so it is convenient for them to talk.
"It's been a long time since we last met. I came to see you today after taking a day off." Qin Huairu said with a smile, "Teacher Ran, I hope you are doing well recently."
"Sir Qin, you are too polite."
Ran Qiuye didn't want to talk to her at the door, so she quickly let her in. Qin Huairu was her first guest after she moved in.
That… he doesn’t count, he’s the man here.
"I didn't buy anything, just a little token of my appreciation."
Qin Huairu put down the fruit and glanced at the shoe rack at the door, where she found a pair of men's slippers.
Why haven’t I heard that Ran Qiuye found a partner?
She came here today to do some business, and temporarily put aside her doubts to chat with Ran Qiuye about the daily life after moving.
Both families had just moved into the new building, so there were many topics to talk about. However, both of them had something on their minds, so they got straight to the point.
"Teacher Ran, what do you think we should do with this child?"
Qin Huairu's face was filled with worry. "I told me I didn't want to study anymore, but you wouldn't listen to me no matter how much I tried to persuade you."
"I heard from his class teacher that you should take your time and drink some hot water first."
Ran Qiuye sat next to her and said in a soft and authoritative voice, "Little boys are all like this. This is the most complicated age."
"Actually, he told me last year that he didn't want to study anymore, and I just coaxed him and persuaded him."
Qin Huairu explained: "In the end, there was no other way, so I asked He Yuzhu from our hospital to teach him how to cook."
"Do you still remember He Yuzhu?"
"Yes, remember, Master He."
Ran Qiuye felt helpless when she saw that she was about to nag, but she couldn't show it on her face, so she could only respond and listen.
Qin Huairu was also used to reading people's faces. She knew she couldn't be too long-winded, so she took the initiative to beg, "This child is a stubborn one. He doesn't listen to anyone at home. I thought that you were his former class teacher and now you are his principal. Can you not..."
"Captain Qin, I still don't understand the situation." Ran Qiuye asked patiently, "What do you want to do after Banggeng said he doesn't want to study anymore?"
"Alas..." Qin Huairu sighed and replied with some difficulty: "He said he wanted to raise... raise... chickens."
