Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Director Li, there's no need to do things so absolutely, right?"

As soon as Peng Xiaoli returned to the third floor of the security building, he found someone standing at the door of the leader's office.

When I got closer, I saw clearly that it was Sun Jian, the office director.

Before he could ask why the other party was standing here, he heard this sentence coming from the office.

He glanced at the door in surprise, only to see a silhouette sitting opposite the leader's desk.

"Secret Department"

Sun Jian was smoking a cigarette, and when he saw Peng Xiaoli looking over with questioning eyes, he silently spoke the answer.

Peng Xiaoli understood, his eyes opened suddenly, he raised his head slightly, stood up straight and was about to rush into the office.

He had to do something at this time, even if it was to give the leader an excuse.

It was inconvenient for Sun Jian to go in because the other party was not a secretary. Even if he went in, he wouldn't be able to stay.

Instead, you should stand at the door and stop those who want to report on their work or who are interested in inquiring.

But when Peng Xiaoli was about to go in, he grabbed him.

Sun Jian stared into his eyes, shook his head slightly, and whispered softly: "Don't let the leader suffer."

"clear"

Peng Xiaoli nodded solemnly and walked towards the office door.

Sun Jian warned his leaders not to suffer losses, but it wasn't that Li Xuewu couldn't defeat him, let alone that he didn't dare to take action.

But once a move is made, there must be no leverage falling into the other party's hands.

To put it to the extreme, if the leader really got angry and shot the other person, then he would have to take over the matter.

Therefore, Sun Jian regarded the person in the room as very important, even to the point where Li Xuewu might take action.

However, when Peng Xiaoli entered the room, he did not find any emotion on Li Xuewu's face.

Very peaceful, even with a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes.

Maybe she noticed him entering the room, so she turned around and glanced at the man with his back to the door.

"Leader, the matter is done"

Peng Xiaoli glanced at him deeply, then looked at Li Xuewu and reported softly.

"Deputy Director Jing did not agree, but the other two leaders had no objections."

His report was very vague, and those who didn't understand the situation would never understand the meaning behind his words.

Li Xuewu nodded slowly, then motioned to the other side and said, "Make a cup of tea for Director Huo. I want the best tea."

"yes"

Peng Xiaoli put down the documents in his hand and turned around to go to the tea cabinet at the door.

He understood what the leader said and asked for the best tea. The best tea had not been served to guests for a long time.

Huo Ding glanced at the secretary, turned to look at Li Xuewu, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Director Li really treats him differently here."

"I'm used to drinking labor protection tea, but I'm afraid you won't get used to it"

Li Xuewu explained lightly, and then said: "This can of tea was left to me by Director Dong when he took up the new steelmaking plant. Please try it."

"I invited you to dinner and you didn't even go."

Hodin seemed to complain, then regained his serious expression and asked: "How do you think about my opinion just now?"

"I think you misunderstood"

Li Xuewu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said slowly: "Although the propaganda team assigned to the Security Department is from the Third Guards Regiment, I don't know about it."

"..."

Huo Ding suddenly became serious, stared at Li Xuewu with his lips pursed, and his aura suddenly became sharper.

He didn't believe Li Xuewu's lies. How could such a coincidence happen in this world.

The front-foot secrecy department offended him, and the back-foot guard third group entered the secrecy department to carry out propaganda.

If he really believed this explanation, he would be a fool.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I don't understand, these words are all too familiar to Hodin.

"Director Li, we don't know each other until we fight."

He calmed down his emotions, but his tone still had a hint of impatience and gloominess, and said: "We have cooperated before, but when it comes to friction, there is no way that the upper lip does not touch the lower lip."

Seeing Li Xuewu put down the cup in his hand and looked at him leisurely, his calm attitude made him feel really powerless.

Now of course he is the one to take the initiative to surrender, but the other party must be willing to sign an alliance under the city.

Hanging him like this is completely humiliating him and trampling on his dignity.

Even though he failed in this round of fighting, Huoding didn't think it was Li Xuewu's victory.

For non-war crimes, God will not follow people's wishes.

A dragnet was set up in the camp, and Monkey Sun was forced to take Zhou Xiaobai back and forth. Losing soldiers and generals would lose face, and stealing chickens would only result in loss of rice.

He wanted to regain his position in the capital and held him down, but something happened in the magical capital.

When the other party really returned to the capital, he found that for some unknown reason, Li Huaide, who had been relatively vague in the past, had become strangely tough.

Taking Dali Pills doesn’t have this effect, right?

Then one thing happened one after another, and Li Xuewu successfully participated in the commendation meeting and even participated in the big study activity meeting.

The worst thing was that on January 23, the notice issued by the superiors shattered all their plans.

Not only that, the situation had suddenly changed, and now it was their turn to panic.

From the beginning to the end, Li Xuewu didn't seem to fight back, as if God was helping him.

Just after the notice was issued on the 23rd, the ministry suddenly informed that the third regiment of the garrison would form a propaganda team to support the secrecy ministry's study activities.

When he heard the news, Hodin's mind buzzed and he almost fainted.

The propaganda team that came down this time was different from the previous ones. It was even more powerful, representative and absolute than all the previous work teams.

What's the meaning?

This means that now he has become a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

How he plotted against Li Xuewu in the past, now he has to accept this backlash.

But before he could taste Li Xuewu's sharp blade, he became weak and came to seek peace.

but! Li Xuewu didn't seem to have any intention of making peace, and even looking at his stern and shy pretense made me want to laugh.

If you are really scared, then show some sincerity and stand at attention when being beaten.

Look at it now. It's obvious that Hodin was afraid and came to him to ask for peace, but listen to what he said.

Those who didn't know better thought that the sky was falling on Li Xuewu's side and that the other party was here to save him.

The words were full of dissatisfaction, and the plea for peace was even described as a reluctant surrender.

If you are given a chance, just go ahead. It means you can catch up with the good times. You don't really think that you have defeated us because of your superior ability, do you?

Be smart and know the current affairs. He is a hero.

To be honest, Li Xuewu really didn't want to give him this face, and even wanted to see what was standing behind him.

As the saying goes, when it comes to beating a dog, it depends on the owner.

Now that the owner is hiding behind and can't come out, he can only beat the old dog hard to make it bark more miserable.

Otherwise, how can we see clearly which bastard is so unethical and keeps a dog without a leash?

He was very clear about the formation of a propaganda team by the Weisan Regiment and stationed in the Secrecy Department, and it could even be said that it was his first-hand plan.

He had talked with Qi Yaowu earlier, and later with Xiang Yunian. Despite Li Huaide's pressure, he was just waiting for this day.

He saw Peng Xiaoli's worried eyes, but he had no intention of attacking the dog in front of him at this time.

Now he is also a person with status, playing with his brain and scheming.

It only hurts to kill someone with a blunt knife. He wants to stab him little by little until the other person is heartbroken and screams for his master to come out.

As if he saw the gloom in his eyes, Hodin, who was a little arrogant just now, lost his temper now.

Looking back on the past, as a member of the Secrecy Department, even if the two were of equal status, he would not have taken the trouble to come to see Li Xuewu.

What's more, he is the chief and Li Xuewu is the deputy. He is more than one round older than Li Xuewu.

You can tell how heavy his butt is from the fact that the Secrecy Department has been cooperating with the steel rolling mill for such a long time and he has never shown his face even once.

No cadre from any unit he faced, not even Li Huaide, dared to look down on him.

Based on Li Xuewu's current attitude and tone, he couldn't help but slap the table and say harsh words.

You can't find a reason to mess with him later.

However, the situation is different now. The knife is in the opponent's hand, and the tip of the knife is pointed at his heart.

As long as the other party gives such a gentle push, he will be finished.

Therefore, no matter how much criticism he encountered from Li Xuewu, he would not dare to get up and leave.

He knew that as long as he left here, he would never be able to enter this office again.

Li Xuewu is not in a hurry. He has plenty of time and it will be quite a while before he gets off work.

After Peng Xiaoli served the other party tea, he refilled Li Xuewu's tea cup with hot water.

The room was extremely quiet at this moment, and the three of them were waiting for someone to bow their head first.

Peng Xiaoli never imagined how Gan Ru from the Secrecy Department would have the courage to call out here, and even force Li Xuewu to bow his head and negotiate peace.

In fact, Huo Ding could not imagine what Li Xuewu could rely on to be so sure that his side could not withstand his plan.

He had investigated all of Li Xuewu's social relationships, even Zhou Zhennan.

There are sufficient arguments to support that the other party has no direct relationship with Li Xuewu, and even Zhou Xiaobai is not a serious relationship.

Li Xuewu's father-in-law, Gu Haitao, is currently in the second line. He does not lead a team but serves as the vice principal of the college.

Huo Ding knew that Li Xuewu had a good relationship with the Ji family, but now that the Ji family has transferred their relationship to Hong Kong City, the influence of the mainland has plummeted.

The storms of the past few months have long since blown away these fictitious and real relationships.

All that was left was his relationship with classmates and a little teacher-student relationship with Gong An.

Then what confidence does he have to dare to challenge his own side?

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it without letting the other person know, took a puff, and looked at the documents on the table.

This attitude completely disrupted the deadlock in the room.

"what do you want?"

Holding leaned his elbows on the desk, stared at Li Xuewu and asked: "The tip of the needle versus the awn of wheat? The fish will die and the net will break?"

"Thank you"

Li Xuewu raised his head, looked at Huo Ding and said flatly: "There is no use of the idiom of hitting an egg with an egg."

Huo Ding was speechless. He choked on Li Xuewu's words and his lungs hurt. He could only grit his teeth and hold on.

"We can talk. There is really no need to go to a point of no return..."

"Forget it, actually you know that there is nothing to talk about."

Li Xuewu signed his name on the document, put it aside, looked at Huo Ding and said, "You and I both know that there is no need to talk about this matter."

"As for the situation you mentioned, in my opinion, it is just a delaying measure to take a breather overnight."

"But you don't think I'm stupid, do you?"

Li Xuewu pointed at the document and said, "Do you think I will give you a chance to make a comeback?"

After finishing speaking, he stood up with his hand on the document and told Peng Xiaoli: "Help me contact the Third Wei Regiment and ask the work team to report to me on the progress of the work every day."

"I want to see how many dirty things this secret department has hidden, which makes Director Huo so nervous that he condescends to come to my small temple to worship the Buddha's feet."

Holding: "You...!"

——

"Why did you send me such a thing?"

Han Shu looked at the two people who carried the big box into the house in surprise, and then looked at Li Xuewu in confusion.

When the secretary and the driver removed the packing box and exposed the refrigerator inside, she realized what Li Xuewu had done.

"It's a gift from a foreign businessman. I don't need it at home, so I'll give it to you."

Li Xuewu smiled and touched the head of Dong Mengyuan who ran over and hugged him.

Dong Mengyuan really misses his senior brother. He hasn't been here for a long time.

Hearing the noise of the car, I thought my father was back and hurried out, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was my senior brother I hadn't seen for a long time.

He looked at the big square thing in the kitchen with some curiosity, wondering what it was for.

Han Shu blamed Li Xuewu with some embarrassment: "We two can use it, so take it home quickly!"

As he spoke, he waved to the secretary and driver he brought to reload.

"Your family has a large population. If you don't want to use it yourself, you can send it to your parents' house. Why don't you give it to me? If the literature knows about it, it will be yours."

"We don't need it at home. My mother can't even light the lights, let alone the refrigerator."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "Just leave it here. I'll move it when I want to use it."

After speaking, he signaled to Han Jiankun and Peng Xiaoli to go out and leave.

Han Shu knew that he couldn't defeat him, so he took the initiative to let them eat here.

Dong Wenxue was not at home. How could Li Xuewu stay here with his secretary and driver? He teased his junior brother for a few words and then went out.

Han Shu told his son to wait in the room, and he hurriedly put on his coat and sent Li Xuewu and the others away.

At the gate, she still complained to Li Xuewu a few words, and informed him that the cooperation with the steel rolling mill was about to be completed, and told Li Xuewu not to be anxious.

As far as she knows, there will be changes in the management of the Iron and Steel Academy, and Pei Dayu is likely to take over.

Li Xuewu was really a little surprised. The last time Pei Dayu came to him to talk about cooperation in running a school, nothing came of it.

After procrastinating for so long, he would have thought he was a loser, if it weren't for the teachers arranged by the Iron and Steel Academy who often came to give him tutoring.

Unexpectedly, Pei Dayu really had two brushes in his hands, and he could still make progress during this period.

It can only be said that times have created situations, but some people can just adapt to the situation and live like a fish in water.

On the way back, Peng Xiaoli didn't want Li Xuewu to worry about the confidentiality department anymore, so the topic didn't focus on work.

Just talking about the refrigerator delivered tonight and the electrical appliances picked up by the other two leading drivers, the topic of kid smacking was brought up.

"Leader, please tell me"

Peng Xiaoli asked curiously: "What is our relationship and status with Xiaoguizai? Why did we suddenly give these things?"

"Is giving things necessarily related to relationships?"

Li Xuewu asked back, and without waiting for an answer, he continued: "It's a good intention to send you something, there's no point in thinking too much about it."

"Also, haven't you been reading a book on international relations recently? Are you asking me this kind of question?"

"I just can't figure it out~"

Peng Xiaoli smiled sheepishly, and then said seriously: "The hatred of the country and the family, how long has it passed, and there are still people in the factory saying, why did we start cooperation now?"

"We are cooperating on the economy, and it has nothing to do with hatred between the country and the family."

Li Xuewu corrected him and said: "I can carry out trade and economic exchanges with them, but it does not stop me from hating that country and the people there."

"However, when looking at the relationship between the two sides from the perspective of economic and trade cooperation, I still have to be fair."

He looked at Peng Xiaoli, the co-pilot, and said: "Japanese businessmen are currently more ambitious than other countries in doing trade."

"for example……?"

Peng Xiaoli opened his eyes. He didn't understand what the courage in Li Xuewu's words meant.

Li Xuewu raised his head slightly, smiled and said, "Of course I am not brave enough to give away these household appliances."

"You should know how serious the external restrictions and isolation are on us now. Isolation is not only reflected in foreign affairs, but also in economic cooperation."

"but!"

He nodded and Peng Xiaoli said: "You have to see the positive attitude shown by Japanese businessmen during the cooperation. At least they are willing to come up with real things."

"You mean...those machines?"

Peng Xiaoli frowned and thought. He thought of what Li Xuewu said and also thought of the industrial equipment that had recently arrived at Yingcheng Port Terminal one after another.

But Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "Mechanical equipment can be bought no matter how difficult it is, but technology cannot be bought easily."

Seeing his confusion, he explained carefully: "You can look at mechanical equipment, learn it, and even explore it, but technical barriers are like mathematics. If you don't know it, you just don't know it, and you can't figure it out."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and asked, "If you have a technology that can make a lot of money, would you be willing to share it selflessly with others?"

"of course not"

Peng Xiaoli knew that his answer was not important to the leader's question, but what was important was the words that followed.

Seeing that he knew what he wanted to say, Li Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said, "The technology we lack most now is under blockade. Reckless actions cannot solve practical problems."

"I understand"

Peng Xiaoli nodded and said, "When you designed the cooperation plan, you actually used time to exchange for technology, right?"

"Hehe~"

Li Xuewu chuckled and glanced at him, but did not answer the question. Instead, he looked out the window and said faintly, "Sooner or later, you will understand the true meaning of economic cooperation."

He had no intention of praising Xiao Guiza's righteousness, but in the process of trade and production cooperation, the other party was very brave to break through certain blockades.

Especially in engine production technology, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was the first to sell this technology to China in later generations.

On the other hand, Volkswagen made a lot of money after entering the mainland, but never sold any engine technology to the mainland.

Although the words are a bit biased, the degree of German technology blockade against the mainland is far stricter than that of Xiao Guiza.

Of course, all cooperation is a product based on the operation of the economic market, and one-sided definitions are meaningless for such issues.

Li Xuewu told Peng Xiaoli that Xiaoguiza was also courageous, but he didn't say that they were righteous.

They were the ones who sold the whole set of machinery. If you bought their equipment, you couldn't buy it separately. Even the common things in China had to be attached with high prices.

If you buy a set of production equipment, he can give you a bunch of garbage that seems to be necessary, but in fact there are better ones in China.

However, you have to spend money to buy it, and it's a big complaint.

There is no love without reason in this world, let alone hatred without reason.

Li Xuewu was able to lure Japanese businessmen to break through the blockade and export technology and equipment to the mainland in a roundabout way. He had laid out a big plan.

Do you really think they are fools and let Li Xuewu fool you into giving away technology and equipment?

Of course not, these equipment and technology must be paid back, and they must produce the electronic equipment they need to repay.

For a long time in the future, the electronic industrial production area in Gangcheng will become the three Japanese businessmen's ultimate move to achieve overtaking in their own country and drive out high prices with low prices.

Just like what Li Xuewu said to Grandma, as long as they master the technology and design, they can always clamp down on the production units.

The Japanese business representatives thought the same thing. They didn't believe that there was anyone in China who could surpass their technical design, and they didn't believe that there was a market in China to absorb these electrical equipment.

As long as these two basic conditions remain unchanged, the electronic industry of the steel rolling mill can only work for them.

In the mainland where labor costs are extremely cheap, using their equipment and technology, the electrical appliances produced can beat any domestic electrical appliance manufacturer even if they are transported across the sea.

With such a low price and such a large output, minus the cost of their imported raw materials, they will be the only one dominating the Japanese electrical appliance market in the future.

It won't take many years, maybe one year, maybe two years, and definitely not more than three years, for them to dominate the entire electrical appliance market.

When other factories go bankrupt or their production capacity shrinks, talents will naturally flow to high ground.

The more concentrated the marketization is, the more acute the elimination of talents will be. In the end, the scientific and technical talents that their three cooperative companies can accommodate are the most outstanding ones in the electrical appliance industry.

Having mastered the sales terminals and the top of the industry, they are also fearless even if they leave aside the production links in the middle.

Just like the game between Gree and dealers in later generations, betting against each other always exists.

Li Xuewu is betting that he has the ability to prolong the time for the other party to control the market.

Betting that he has the ability to expand and influence other markets.

Betting that the production link can breed high-end scientific and design ideas and master core technology.

Even in order to achieve this goal, Li Xuewu has been playing tricks.

Yingcheng Shipyard will realize the manufacturing of fiberglass boats this year, and next year it will be able to make the wealth-making boats spread all over the port.

Japanese business representatives are also betting that the economic development of the mainland will never keep up with their pace.

Now the cooperation between the two sides has just begun. It has been a bed in the same bed but different dreams from the beginning, not to mention the respect between each other.

Li Xuewu does not believe that the other party will honestly follow the terms of the contract.

——

When it comes to February, it seems that the cold in the air has become different.

Maybe it’s the change in temperature, the increase in humidity, and the longer daytime, anyway, it’s different.

February 1st was a weekend, so Li Xuewu asked Shen Guodong to drive with him and visit several relatives.

Some were from his own family, some were from his father-in-law’s family, and some were from real relatives.

Even his godfather and godmother, whom he hadn’t visited for a long time, sent beef and mutton.

Although the past year was noisy, the overall economy has recovered and improved, and at least eggs can be seen in the market.

Of course, it’s hard to say about the countryside, but life in the city is much better than before.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, every household is rushing to clean up the house and tidy up the place when they have free time.

They say that they want to break the old ideas and give up celebrating the Spring Festival, but the elderly and children have a thought in their hearts.

If they don’t celebrate the Spring Festival, it’s okay for the children to set off firecrackers, and it’s not too much to rush to eat something good on that day.

No one can stop this kind of thing, and they all turn a blind eye.

The godmother’s family is also cleaning up the house, and it’s rare to see Zheng Xicai helping at home.

Li Xuewu brought Shen Guodong with him. Although they were still enthusiastic when they met, they were not the same as before.

No matter what Zheng Xicai did, he was still someone's biological son. What could he say?

Even if he was showing filial piety in front of his godfather and godmother, he had to be patient and be careful not to say the wrong thing, which would embarrass both parties.

Even if the godmother forced them to stay at home for dinner, Li Xuewu was so busy today that he was unwilling to stay.

He just said that there were many relatives who needed to visit today and he really didn't have time, so he gave up.

In fact, Wang Shuhua could see that Li Xuewu was uncomfortable, and even more so that her son was awkward.

So she really wanted to stay, but she couldn't help sighing in her heart.

After sending Li Xuewu away, she went back to the house and didn't say anything about Zheng Xicai, let alone show any opinions or emotions.

Sometimes people are destined to be together. Li Xuewu was not bad to them, his godfather and godmother. Even if he didn't come, he would ask Shen Guodong to send things home from time to time.

Look at Zheng Xicai, he has come to help with the cleaning for once. But how far can he live in the east and west cities? He doesn't come back for a month.

But Wang Shuhua and Zheng Shusen have said that their children are not ambitious, and they are not of the same character as Li Xuewu, and they can't fit in the same circle.

As the old saying goes, cherish your blessings. Now that the whole family is healthy is a blessing.

After more than a year of training, Zheng Xicai has finally made some progress.

It can be seen that it is not easy for his father to walk on thin ice in the city. I don't know how many times he has been stabbed in the back.

Let alone other things, he himself has encountered many open and secret attacks.

There is no place to hide. The place is so small. You can't just not go to work because you are afraid of something happening.

When Li Xuewu came just now, Zheng Xicai also took the initiative to greet him, and then he was busy with his work and said a few polite words.

Both parties had a knot in their hearts because of Zheng Xiaoyan's incident last year, so it is understandable that he spoke for his sister.

However, it was precisely because of Li Xuewu's initiative to give in, or because of his ruthlessness in handling this matter, that they lost the meaning of further contact.

Zheng Xiaoyan was complained a lot when she returned to the factory, and the radios made by Jinmen Electronics Factory were completely cleared out in Beijing.

It is not right to say that it was all due to the relationship introduced by Li Xuewu. It cannot be said that he invited a wolf into the house.

But this matter was the fuse after all. Jinmen Electronics Factory handled it too domineeringly, and did not expect that the one in Dongcheng No. 1 Prison was even more domineering.

Neither side left room for themselves, and the cooperation ended with a dead end.

No. 1 Prison found a new cooperative unit and imported electronic parts from Beijing TV Factory. Anyway, the other party did not produce radios.

The products of Jinmen Electronics Factory were swept away by Huang Gan arbitrarily, and a large market was lost.

It is meaningless to say who is right or wrong in this matter, as it has been so long.

Zheng Xiaoyan never thought about what she had lost, or what she had.

In fact, Wang Shuhua had pointed out to her that as Zheng Shusen's daughter, she had lived in vain if she could be frightened by the leader of the electronics factory.

Because of this, Zheng Shusen and Wang Shuhua both saw that the children had no talent and ability to make further progress, so they gave up the idea of ​​educating and enlightening them.

Even if Zheng Shusen is now promoted, what can he do to pass on this position?

If they are incompetent, then they are incompetent. If they really want to compare with Li Xuewu, they are unwilling to do so. The children will take a detour.

After leaving his godmother's house, Li Xuewu went to the home of Director Li of the Sports Commission to sit down. The four boxes of gifts he brought were considered to be a thank you to the matchmaker.

It is said that it takes three years to thank the matchmaker.

In other words, Li Xuewu had to visit the matchmaker's home for three years and get four boxes of heavy gifts every year.

It is said to be a heavy gift, but in fact it is the sentiment that counts.

How much can four boxes of gifts of cigarettes, alcohol, tea and sugar cost in total? If it really costs a lot of money, Director Li's family cannot accept it.

In addition, he cannot bring a generous gift to embarrass others, otherwise he will be laughed at.

Now his father-in-law's family is not in the capital, so when he moves up, he will naturally bring his father-in-law's shadow with him.

It's not a question of whether he wants to bring it with him, but the relationship above him will look down on him, and the first thing he thinks of is whose son-in-law he is.

If his father Li Shun has the same status, he will also bring his father with him.

Youth is the same thing. When he is fully grown and has made achievements, people will say who he is.

Li Xuewu has no comparison mind, let alone the idea of ​​being strong.

Especially the relatives of the Gu family, they may have a good relationship with Gu Haitao's family, but they always seem not so close to Gu Ning's branch for some reason.

This may be related to Gu Ning's personality and Li Xuewu's youth.

Compared with the introduction of Li Xuewu's position, or the information about him has been known for a long time, and even the people who are often mentioned in the family recently, just sitting there at such a young age, anyone can't help but look at and observe him.

Especially the younger generation, if there are people of the same age, they will be even worse off, this person is really afraid of comparison.

The worst are actually those who are older than Li Xuewu, but whose positions and influence are far less than his. When they sit together, they don’t know whether they should be jealous or close to each other.

Li Xuewu is very relaxed. He is used to such complicated scenes. He has experienced scenes with complicated relationships and contradictory situations.

Anyway, these relatives can only be seen a few times a year. He pretends not to hear anything they say.

It was not until they returned home that Li Xuewu complained to Gu Ning about his hard work today.

After dinner, he used the phone to contact his father-in-law and mother-in-law who were far away in Jinling.

The father-in-law was busy. Even if he was on the second line, he could not be contacted at night.

As usual, the mother-in-law asked about Gu Ning's condition. Li Xuewu saw that Gu Ning did not want to talk about this, so he could only answer on her behalf.

Perhaps Ding Fengxia heard her daughter's impatience, and seeing her son-in-law's careful care, she could only sigh.

For this daughter, she had no choice but to silently say in her heart that she was her own child, so she was not angry, and she was her own child, so she was not angry.

Li Xuewu could especially understand his mother-in-law's mood. Sometimes he saw that Li Shu had the same mentality.

After reporting the situation of visiting relatives today to his mother-in-law, he also received praise from her mother-in-law.

At the same time, the mother-in-law also said on the phone that once Gu Ning gave birth, she would return to Beijing to take care of her for a while.

Li Xuewu was afraid that his father-in-law was not in good health and that his mother-in-law had to toss back and forth, so he deliberately advised her not to work hard.

Ding Fengxia understood her son-in-law's thoughts and was happy. She also said that she had been away for more than half a year and would eventually come back to deal with some things.

With that, the two sides agreed on the next schedule and hung up the phone.

When Gu Ning heard that her mother was coming back to take care of her, a trace of dejection appeared on her face.

She could imagine how much her mother would nag her every day when she came to take care of her.

Especially after giving birth to a child, there was one more person, and she had to stay in confinement. It must be so lively.

When she thought of this, Gu Ning couldn't help but frowned, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Can't you just say not to let her come?"

"..."

Li Xuewu looked at her speechlessly, smiled bitterly and said: "Do you overestimate my status, or do you doubt my character?"

Gu Ning ignored his nonsense, propped himself up and went back to the room, looking at Li Shu who was already asleep, wondering if the one born would be the same.

Regarding this point, Li Xuewu couldn't give a correct answer, and he hoped that Gu Ning could try to use a mathematical solution.

That is to have more children. There will always be some who are well-behaved and sensible. This is a matter of probability.

Gu Ning only gave him a look that told him to think it over before speaking. This one child almost annoyed her to death. Why did he want to have another child?

"Did you give birth?"

"Yes!"

"Did you give birth!"

Starting from Monday, February 2, good news came one after another.

First, Fei Shanying, who was staying in the room of Li Xuewu in the courtyard, gave birth to a big fat boy weighing 6.8 catties.

When Li Xuewu was at work on Monday, Shen Guodong called his office at noon to convey the good news.

Wen Sanyuan was in the port city and entrusted his wife and children to these brothers. As the "leader", Li Xuewu naturally had to make practical expressions.

In fact, the steel rolling mill had important work and activities on Monday.

The job skills competition organized by the Personnel Department, the Production Department, the Management Committee Office, and other related departments officially started today.

After completing a month of extensive learning and training, it was time to test the real skills.

In the last week before the New Year, everyone was full of energy, to see what their skill level ranking was in the factory.

Especially in relation to whether to stay in a job, many people have ignored the trivial matters at home since the beginning of January, and have devoted themselves to theoretical learning and skill training.

The personnel assessment and job adjustment plan announced by the factory did not mention taking care of the family's location.

No one wants to be assigned to work in a steel city or a camp city thousands of miles away with a wife and children.

On the one hand, the work location is really far away, which is inconvenient for life and visiting relatives.

On the other hand, it is a face issue. If you work in the same workshop and are eliminated, it means that your skills are not as good as others.

These days, workers also need face, and there is no deliberate slacking. Striving for advancement is an eternal melody.

The Personnel Department coordinates the forces of all parties, invests a lot of manpower and material resources, and even opens a column on the radio station to facilitate learning, just to screen out the technical backbones needed by the factory and find out the current technical level of the workers.

It is convenient to carry out personnel changes and labor adjustments after the New Year.

The development of the factory requires sacrifices, but the organization must also take into account humanity and special circumstances.

So starting from Monday, the theory exam began, and different theory exam papers were designed according to different positions.

Employees need to complete the questions within a specific time to achieve fairness and justice to the greatest extent.

Because the assessment should not be stopped, the exam papers were produced in three batches and prepared for a month. The Personnel Department strives for perfection.

As the coordination supervisor, Li Xuewu was also on-site supervision, but when he heard Shen Guodong's call, he temporarily handed the work over to Yu Decai and took a car to the hospital to visit Fei Shanying.

Fei Shanying's body was still a little weak, but the Chinese medicine hospital gave her Zhao Yafang's treatment, and the nursing conditions were very good.

Seeing Li Xuewu holding the child, she also laughed while holding back tears.

"My third uncle came with news that he became a father, but he was a little far away, and the child was called Wen Yuan."

Shen Guodong introduced the news about Wen Saner in a funny way, which not only made Li Xuewu laugh, but even Fei Shanying couldn't help laughing.

She felt a little uncomfortable, after all, giving birth was such a big thing, and Wen Saner was not around.

Even if she knew that he was working and doing big things, and it was a long journey, how could he stay at home to take care of her all the time.

Especially because of Li Xuewu and Shen Guodong's care and attention to her, they were afraid that she would be in danger at home alone, so they specially arranged her in the backyard.

It was because of such careful care that when she felt that she was about to give birth, she just calmly asked her son to go to the front yard to find someone.

Zhang Xinmin is five years old this year. He understands everything. He knows that his mother is going to give birth to a baby, so he ran to Li's house to call for help.

Shen Guodong and others were well prepared. When they heard Liu Yin's call, they sent the person to the hospital safely and securely.

It really didn't take much effort. Wen Saner had a big fat son. Li Xuewu was relieved and relieved.

Wen Saner was working hard in the port city. If there was anything wrong with his family, he would give them something to make up for it.

Now that the mother and child are safe, it is naturally a good thing.

And just after coming out of the hospital, he met Ji Yuxiu who came to visit.

When the two met, Ji Yuxiu asked if she had given birth. After a few more words, she said that she had also been promoted.

It was really good news from the delivery room, she had given birth (promotion).

Just after the organizational talk, Ji Yuxiu received a transfer order to the Zhengzhi Office of the Branch Bureau as the head of the confidential section.

Although it was a horizontal transfer, Li Xuewu had to admit that it was much better to be in the agency than in the front line.

Ji Yuxiu knew why she was promoted. After sharing the good news, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Second brother... I..." (End of this chapter)
