Men and women eating in the courtyard

Leader Du's tea was good. Li Xuewu only drank one cup before meeting the Comrade Wade whom the leader mentioned.

The other party had an expression and attitude from the moment he came in, including the middle-aged cadre wearing green who followed behind him.

"Comrade Wade, come and introduce me."

Leader Du waved his hand, motioned to Li Huaide and introduced him: "Comrade Li Huaide, director of the Management Committee of the Red Star Rolling Mill."

"This is Comrade Li Xuewu, deputy director of the factory office."

A leader is a leader, very nurturing and magnanimous. On this occasion, he still did not forget to introduce Li Xuewu who was sitting next to him.

He did not take Li Xuewu seriously at all, and the change in attitude between seriousness and easy-going was not inconsistent with the situation at all.

Li Xuewu and Li Huaide looked at each other without speaking, only waiting for Leader Du to introduce the situation.

The other party was obviously more assertive, or wanted to take the initiative, so he actually introduced himself.

"I am Su Weide, the leader of the Ministry's Discipline Inspection Team"

He had no intention of shaking hands with Li Huaide, and he didn't even look at Li Xuewu.

It seems that in his eyes, a commissioned deputy director is not qualified to receive his attention and attention.

"This is Comrade Ding Zhishan, the representative of the branch management committee"

Su Weide introduced the middle-aged people around him and sat on the sofa opposite him at Leader Du's wave.

Li Xuewu glanced at the other two, and then looked at Leader Du meaningfully.

Are you being so casual and domineering? Are you looking down on Li Huaide, or are you not taking Leader Du seriously?

Or rather, both?

The scene today is a bit interesting. Representatives from the branch management committee are here, and it really looks like a group fight.

Leader Du didn't seem to care about the other party's attitude. He took a sip from the teacup and said, "We've been working all day. Let's stop gossiping in the middle of the night."

"Are you here because of Cheng Kaiyuan's affairs?"

Su Weide used an attacking tone as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he was questioning Li Huaide.

Li Xuewu's expression changed, and he suddenly said: "Leader, we are here to get the investigation results, or an arrest warrant."

"If Deputy Director Cheng's situation has been investigated clearly and arrest or legal proceedings are carried out, it will be easier for us to make early arrangements when we go back."

"Right? Director Li"

Li Xuewu ignored Su Weide's expression, and looked at Li Huaide and said, "It will also facilitate our subsequent publicity."

Li Huaide said nothing, but looked at Leader Du, waiting for his answer.

But Leader Du lowered his eyebrows and looked at the teacup in his hand with no intention of speaking, and the scene froze for a moment.

After bringing new tea over, Director Han glanced at Li Xuewu and narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he interjected by placing the tea cups: "Is there any result? I haven't heard about it yet."

Su Weide stared at Li Xuewu for a long time, and then said: "Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan... was indeed taken away by us."

When he answered this sentence, he bit the word "comrade" very hard, as if he was replying to Li Xuewu's tricky and difficult words.

"What do you want to know?"

He glanced at Li Xuewu with disdain, looked at Li Huaide and said, "I don't need to go into details about the procedures for disciplinary supervision. They are all senior cadres."

"Do we still need to be taught what we can and cannot ask?"

"According to your wishes, if our factory leader is missing, we don't need to care or ask. We'll just wait and hear, right?"

Li Xuewu retorted forcefully, looked at the other party with stern eyes and said, "Why didn't I know that there was a step in the discipline supervisor's work procedures for arresting people without reporting them?"

"Are you talking to me?"

Su Weide looked at Li Xuewu with a slight disdain, and then asked: "What qualifications do you have to question me?"

"What a coincidence, I am the person in charge of security inspection at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Li Xuewu raised his head slightly and said with a firm attitude: "As for the issue of disciplinary supervision, please communicate with me, if you are talking about Deputy Director Cheng being investigated by the disciplinary supervision."

"if not"

He glanced at the other party, looked at Leader Du and said, "Then please give the organization a clear reason for restricting Deputy Director Cheng's actions. We have the right to know more."

"Cough-cough-"

When Leader Du saw Li Xuewu's words, he suddenly rushed up, coughed twice, and then put down the teacup in his hand.

"The characteristic of disciplinary supervision work is that it is as hot-tempered as fire"

He glanced at a few people, nodded slowly and said: "It's all for organizational work and cadre management. It's normal to have opinions and disputes."

"Everyone should suppress their anger and discuss the issue clearly and thoroughly."

Leader Du looked at Li Huaide and said, "I'm here just because of Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan's matter. I want to understand the basic situation and give an explanation to the factory."

After speaking, he looked at Su Weide and the other two people on the other side and said: "Now that the situation is under control, let the leaders in charge report the specific situation within the prescribed scope."

"After all, the comrades in the steel rolling mill are trustworthy, right?"

"Director Du, the situation is not very clear yet."

Su Weid glanced at the two people opposite and said with some caution: "It is still under investigation for the time being."

"Then just say what you can!"

Leader Du was obviously a little dissatisfied. He glanced at Su Weide and said, "Have you controlled someone and you can't tell the comrades in the factory anything about it?"

"Still, the comrades in the factory also have problems, huh?"

He glanced at Li Huaide and Li Xuewu. Both of them were sitting upright, their eyes were clear, and they looked like outstanding cadres.

"this……"

Su Weide hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ding Zhishan beside him, with a questioning look on his face.

Li Xuewu also looked at the representative of the branch management committee who had not spoken since entering the door.

"Of course you can trust the comrades of Red Star Factory"

Ding Zhishan had been observing the two people opposite him, and now he smiled slightly, knowing that Su Weide could not withstand the pressure from the opposite side, and neither could Director Du.

So he had to explain: "After all, we have just contacted Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan, and we are still communicating with him and are in the stage of understanding the situation."

"Yes, Team Leader Su"

He glanced at Su Weide and then continued: "Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan is currently in good mental and physical condition. We will pay attention to his health."

"Also, what about the case handling procedures?"

Ding Zhishan picked up the tea cup and laughed, saying: "After all, the right comes first, and we have not determined the nature of this case. We have to start by understanding the situation."

"Can I understand what you mean?"

Li Xuewu saw him drinking tea and said, "Deputy Director Cheng's question is not clear. He is just cooperating with your investigation, and there is no restriction on his personal freedom?"

"Oh? Well...this...well, it's like this"

Ding Zhishan took a sip of hot tea and put down the cup, and said slowly: "Our branch management committee has received some problem reports, some of which are about Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan."

"As Team Leader Su said, you are all senior cadres, and you must have some understanding of organizational investigation work, especially Comrade Li Xuewu, who is responsible for factory security and supervision, right?"

He did not ignore Li Xuewu, but he did not pay too much attention to it. He named Li Xuewu and continued: "We also care about the organization's cadres and protect them under the premise of investigation."

"That's why we took this action, right, Team Leader Su?"

After Su Weide nodded, he looked at Leader Du and said: "The branch management committee is mainly responsible for this review. After communicating with the Ministry of Discipline Inspection, our common opinion is to keep the investigation confidential for the time being and not make a report."

Leader Du understood what he meant, nodded, and looked at Li Huaide with a serious expression. Although he didn't speak, he had already asked Li Huaide for his opinion on this matter.

Li Huaide didn't say anything. He tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and stared at Su Weid and his brows.

"We need to see Deputy Director Cheng now."

Li Xuewu understood what Li Huaide meant and took the initiative to say: "In the name of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, I applied for a meeting in accordance with the organizational procedures."

"I said, this is an organizational investigation."

Ding Zhishan was very dissatisfied with Li Xuewu's entanglement, and his attitude suddenly became sharp. He frowned and said, "He can't see anyone until Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan explains the problem clearly."

"Then apply for a meeting with Deputy Director Cheng in the name of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Management Committee."

Li Xuewu raised his head slightly and said calmly: "If the disciplinary inspection and supervision review is being carried out, then I will apply to the organization for a meeting as the person in charge of security supervision of the Red Star Rolling Mill."

"you--!"

Su Weide's expression suddenly changed, he glared at Li Xuewu and was about to speak, but was stopped by Ding Zhishan.

"Director Du, I made it very clear."

Ding Zhishan did not quarrel with Li Xuewu, but looked at Leader Du and said: "This case is now in charge of our branch management committee..."

"Then I will apply to meet Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan in the name of the director of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill Branch Management Committee!"

Li Xuewu slapped the armrest of the sofa and said with a serious face: "It's not an organizational investigation, it's not a disciplinary review, it's not a case investigation, what are you doing!"

"Who gave you the right to control an organization cadre unscrupulously, and who gave you the right to investigate the cadres of the steel rolling mill for unfounded reasons!"

Li Xuewu turned to Leader Du and said forcefully: "If Deputy Director Cheng is required to cooperate with the investigation, then please make a formal notification according to organizational procedures. If not, we will pick him up tonight."

"Why didn't I know that the steel rolling mill has a branch management committee?"

Ding Zhishan looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously, sized up his youth, and asked, "In what capacity do you serve as the director of the branch management committee?"

"Ding...cough-cough-"

Director Han just opened his mouth to remind him, but was pushed back by Li Xuewu's gaze.

"I am the first deputy political commissar and deputy commander of the third garrison regiment."

Li Xuewu took out his ID and patted it on the coffee table nearby. He raised his head and looked at the other person and asked, "Do you want to check it?"

Ding Zhishan's eyes suddenly widened. He didn't understand this situation.

He didn't know when the steel rolling mill had a branch management committee, and he didn't even know that three branches had entered the factory.

Hey! Not to mention that he didn't know, Li Huaide, director of the management committee of the Red Star Rolling Mill, who was sitting next to him, was meeting the director of the branch management committee of the Red Star Rolling Mill for the first time.

However, Lao Li was very deep at the moment. He had a tacit understanding with Li Xuewu without exchanging glances. He said calmly: "Don't get excited, Director Li. The work of our factory branch management committee is going very smoothly. It's normal that Director Ding doesn't know about it."

"Okay Director Li"

Li Xuewu responded and put away his ID under the gaze of the other party, but still said with a strong attitude: "It has been a full seven hours since Deputy Director Cheng lost contact."

"We do not demand the rigor and thoroughness of the organization's handling of the case, but we reserve the right to pursue the fairness and procedural nature of this investigation."

"Especially for the investigation of Deputy Director Cheng and his entourage, he cannot accept your illegal restrictions without a clear explanation."

“This is the final opinion of our factory”

"Well, we are harassing Director Du in the middle of the night not to create conflicts, but to solve problems."

Li Huaide said: "Since I am already here, on behalf of the steel rolling mill management committee and the 32,000 employees, I must take away a result."

His meaning was even more absolute. Either he would take Cheng Kaiyuan away tonight, or he would go back and tell the truth directly to the factory, make the problem bigger, and expose the other party's case handling procedures to the public for supervision.

There is a saying that goes well these days: Don’t mess with anyone but Big Brother the Workers. Not everyone can bear the iron fist of Big Brother.

Since Li Huaide and Li Xuewu dare to sit here, they have the determination to have no hesitation and the attitude that they must solve the problem.

Ding Zhishan always doubted whether the Hongxing Factory Branch Management Committee really existed. He also doubted Li Xuewu's identity. How could he have such a young deputy leader!

Or the first deputy committee member!

Suspicion was suspicion, and precisely because everyone was sitting in Leader Du's office, he didn't dare to go and check Li Xuewu's ID.

Of course it's easy to say it's fake, but what if it's true?

A slap in the face is a trivial matter, but if he offends Li Xuewu and Leader Du, his life will not be easy in the future.

I originally thought that Ding Zhishan's opening his mouth would be like knocking Wang Zha, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't respect martial ethics and kept throwing out all kinds of tricks.

He has any identity, is he Maozi's matryoshka doll?

Seeing that both of them were silent, Leader Du nodded slowly, looked at them and said, "Since the issue is not clear yet and the procedures will take time to deal with, I think that's it."

"Comrade Wade, Director Ding?"

Leader Du nodded at the two of them, and then said: "As I said before, they are all working for the organization, for cadre management, mutual understanding, and mutual tolerance, right."

"That's true. Look, it's almost twelve o'clock."

Director Han stood aside to smooth things over and said, "Director Du has been busy since morning. If he doesn't rest, he will have to go straight to the morning shift."

Looking at the firm gazes of Li Huaide and Li Xuewu, he suggested to Su Weide: "Team Leader Su, why don't you put the problem aside for now? If you need it again later, you can contact the other party for investigation."

Under pressure from both sides, Su Weide glanced across the street and then at Director Du. Seeing that his cold attitude did not conceal his fatigue, he had no choice but to look at Ding Zhishan beside him.

Ding Zhishan had been staring at Li Xuewu, and now he couldn't bear the pressure. He nodded slowly and said: "Then let's do it."

He was straightforward and didn't say any harsh words, let alone talk to someone else if there was a problem in the future.

If he really let the tiger go back to the mountain, he wouldn't be able to find the problem. The key is that he didn't pry Cheng Kaiyuan's mouth open for seven hours, let alone think about it in the future.

"Okay, leaders, the matter is resolved."

Director Han smiled and held his hand and said: "Then hurry up, it will be the next day in a while, there is no need to delay it for another day, right?"

"Director Du, please go to bed early."

He turned to look at Leader Du and said, "I'll go with the comrades from the Red Star Factory. Do you think it's okay?"

"You have to work hard"

Leader Du stood up from the sofa tiredly, shook hands with Li Huaide and said: "When you go back, you must take good care of the Red Star Factory. I hope it will be General Manager Li who comes to see me next time."

"You will definitely live up to your destiny"

Li Huaide solemnly promised and said a few words of thanks.

Li Xuewu had completed his mission, and now he was back to being cautious in his words and deeds, as if his sharpness just now was all staged.

When Leader Du shook hands with him, he smiled, nodded and said: "The courage of the sword and the heart of the piano are well-deserved, and the future is formidable."

"Thank you for your leadership's tolerance and your care."

Li Xuewu shook hands with him confidently and calmly, and then saluted.

Leader Du nodded, waved his hands to them, and said, "Go ahead and solve the problem completely. Don't delay tomorrow's work. I won't send you off."

"Take care"

Li Huaide said his last goodbyes, looked at each other with Leader Du, and followed Director Han out of the office.

Su Weid and the others were already waiting at the elevator entrance. When they saw them coming, their eyes were a little cold.

But now that the issue has been discussed, there is no need to waste expressions and emotions. Neither party spoke to the other when they entered the elevator.

After leaving the office building, Li Haiyang was still standing next to the Volga M24 car waiting. When he saw a group of people coming out, he opened the car door neatly.

Li Huaide said a few words to Director Han, and then got into the car with Li Xuewu.

boom! The car door closed, and Li Huaide finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"When the dust settles, it's a fluke, a fluke."

"It's not easy to seize food from the tiger's mouth. It's not easy."

Li Xuewu said this in conjunction with Li Huaide, took his hand and held it, smiling bitterly: "My palms are all sweaty."

"Haha - me too"

The vehicle started, and the driver, alerted by the vehicle in front, followed Director Han's Modou sedan, and further ahead was an early imported Mercedes-Benz sedan.

The small convoy of three vehicles gradually accelerated along the internal road of the compound towards the No. 1 Machinery Department Guesthouse.

Li Huaide didn't speak any more on the way, but was soothing his nervousness and recovering his exhausted energy.

Li Haiyang was very discerning and did not speak, nor did he disturb the leaders behind him who were closing their eyes to relax.

It is already rare to be able to step forward to rescue Cheng Kaiyuan at a critical moment with a tough attitude of fighting to the death. What is even more rare is to be able to succeed immediately and finally solve the difficulty.

Being able to take Deputy Director Cheng back tonight has a very different meaning. At least I can give an explanation to everyone in the morning shift tomorrow.

The journey was not very far, and the guest house was just ahead. Li Haiyang coughed softly as a reminder.

Li Huaide and Li Xuewu both opened their dry eyes, took a deep breath, and regained their energy and strength to fight the last battle successfully.

laugh--

The car stopped in front of the door according to the other party's instructions, and Li Xuewu had already glanced at Deputy Director Cheng's Modu car.

But there was no one in the car, no secretary or driver. It was obvious that the other party was still under control.

Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huaide and got off the car, walked to Director Han and stood next to him.

"Wait a moment and let Team Leader Su make arrangements."

Director Han stood calmly in front of the door, with no intention of going in.

He took out his cigarette case and offered to spread cigarettes for the two of them, but they were both rejected.

"What? Do you have a problem with me?"

Director Han looked at the two of them amusedly, with a playful attitude.

Li Huaide raised his hand and said, "I stopped smoking a long time ago."

"Me too, I quit smoking."

When Li Xuewu saw Director Han's eyes sweeping over him, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm still young and can quit early."

"Oh? Is this a new trend in steel rolling mills?"

Director Han looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "You all want to quit smoking?"

"Haha, not really"

Li Huaide glanced at Su Weide and Ding Zhishan who walked in, and explained: "I have a chronic cough, and my wife persuaded me to quit smoking."

"He is not like that. Comrade Xuewu just had his eldest son, and he is very distressed."

"Hey! What a perseverant, good man."

Director Han smiled and put away the cigarette. He didn't smoke it himself.

Seeing that both Su Weide and Su Weide had left, he sighed softly, patted Li Huaide's arm and said, "Understand, leadership is also difficult."

"I understand, the times are difficult, let's understand each other"

Li Huaide nodded and said: "The situation is a bit sudden. If it wasn't very difficult, we wouldn't bother Director Du."

"Well, Director Du already asked me to make arrangements when he heard your call, but you also know"

Director Han stood beside Li Huaide and said: "Some problems cannot be solved now and can only be shelved and left to be solved later."

"What can be solved now is to try to handle the relationship between all parties. It is not required to cover everything, but it is best to pay attention to proportion."

There seemed to be something in his words, he was reminding Li Huaide of something, but what he said was not very clear.

Li Xuewu listened to a few words and silently waved to Li Haiyang, indicating that he would arrange for the driver to drive out Deputy Director Cheng's car.

There is no need to go out of your way to find the key, the car key must be in the car. This is the working habit of the disciplinary supervisor after the relevant personnel and their drivers are detained, and it is also an unspoken rule.

Li Haiyang greeted the driver, and together they went to the car to inspect the interior of the car and the trunk carefully.

"I actually met Deputy Director Li once."

Seeing Li Xuewu's commanding attitude and calm attitude, Director Han greeted him with a smile and said, "It was at last year's Model Worker Conference."

"What a pity. I wish I had known you earlier."

Li Xuewu took over the conversation with a smile and said, "It saved me the trouble of asking this and that. I really made a mistake while busy."

"The words "young people are to be feared" are rarely spoken by Director Du.

Director Han smiled and said: "It seems that the achievements of the steel rolling mill today are not accidental."

"Director Li unites well and leads the team well."

Li Xuewu blocked the other party's words with a smile and said: "I am not formidable. Many outstanding young cadres have emerged from the organizational reform of the steel rolling mill. This is the cornerstone and reason for the vigorous development of the steel rolling mill."

"Comrade Huaide, is this really true?"

Director Han looked at Li Huaide and raised his eyes and said: "No wonder you are ambitious and want to achieve group goals. It seems that the talents are available and you are full of confidence."

"Haha - there is still too much to go."

Li Huaide chuckled and shook his head and said: "I am still struggling right now, walking on thin ice. I don't know if I will ever see the day when the steel rolling mill becomes a group."

"That's a bit mysterious, that's not it."

Director Han also smiled and saw the two people over there tinkering with the car for a long time before he drove the car over and said meaningfully: "Hidden it so deeply that it becomes a blockbuster?"

"Hahaha - just wait, I'll call you!"

Li Huaide laughed out loud and said: "Now the steel rolling mill has just taken one step forward, and it has caused so much controversy and embarrassment."

"I said I didn't know if I could see that day, was it wrong?"

"Out--"

Li Xuewu kept staring at the interior of the hall. After waiting for such a long time, he finally saw Cheng Kaiyuan.

I can walk on my own without any painful expression on my face. Although I am a little numb and tired, I am still doing well.

The secretary Zhang Shicheng who followed him was a little sluggish and staggered when he walked. He must have received some special treatment.

Only the driver was in the best condition, supporting Zhang Shicheng and looking here with lingering fear.

Li Huaide's face instantly turned cold and he stared at Director Han, very unhappy.

Li Xuewu took off his coat, walked over quickly, and covered Cheng Kaiyuan before he could speak.

"No need to say anything, let's go back to the factory first"

He grabbed Cheng Kaiyuan's hand and squeezed it, suppressing all the words he was about to say.

He looked back at Zhang Shicheng and asked softly, "Can you hold on?"

"I... I'm fine, Director Li"

Zhang Shicheng's forehead was covered with sweat, and he tried to smile with the help of the driver.

He said he was fine, but he fainted as soon as he walked out of the door, and he was very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Li Haiyang saw the movement here and trotted over, and together with the driver, he supported Zhang Shicheng who fell.

"Arrange him to get in the car first!"

Li Xuewu frowned and told Li Haiyang, then helped Cheng Kaiyuan to Li Huaide.

Director Han looked at him apologetically. At this time, Su Weide and Ding Zhishan were gone, and there was no one to ask even if he wanted to.

There were only a few staff members who came out to see him off. There was no need to ask. If asked, they would know nothing.

Li Huaide did not lose his temper with Director Han. Instead, he shook Cheng Kaiyuan's hand with concern and nodded, saying: "Don't worry, let's go back to the factory first. Comrade Zhifu and Comrade Yunong are waiting for us."

After that, he patted Cheng Kaiyuan's hand with tears in his eyes and comforted him: "Comrade Weijie is at home. Everything is fine. Don't worry."

"Thank you, thank you Director Li"

Cheng Kaiyuan had a lot of words in his mouth, and finally said only this.

Li Xuewu helped him walk down and got into the Modu brand car.

Li Huaide turned around and shook hands with Director Han, who looked distressed. He didn't want to say anything and turned around to get into his own car.

The two cars paused for a while, and then drove out of the guesthouse compound one after another and rushed to the gate.

In the Modu brand car, Cheng Kaiyuan lay on the back seat and said only two words to Li Xuewu before falling asleep.

The first sentence was that I didn't say anything.

The second sentence was that they were coming for the steel mill.

Li Xuewu did not comfort him any more. If there was anything, he had to go back to the factory to sort it out.

He had already shown his attitude by getting on the car, and it also gave him a reassurance. Otherwise, Cheng Kaiyuan, who had just left the tiger cage, would not dare to fall asleep.

On the co-pilot, his secretary Zhang Shicheng "woke up" after the car left the guesthouse.

"Deputy Director Li, I had no choice."

He said apologetically: "I can only do this. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."

"It's okay, you did a good job."

Li Xuewu understood what he meant. This was to put pressure on the other party to avoid the next time.

It only takes one time in a lifetime to come in so unclearly. If you come a few more times, you may have to retire early.

Li Xuewu didn't think much of this kind of trick. The other party would only be under some pressure, but if they really wanted to do something to them, they would not be afraid of such a small threat.

After comforting Zhang Shicheng, he asked softly: "Are you injured? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No external injuries, it's quite uncomfortable."

Zhang Shicheng said uncomfortably: "I can still hold on..."

"Okay, I got it."

Li Xuewu patted his shoulder and sat up straight when he saw that the vehicle was about to leave the compound.

The two cars drove out of the compound of the First Ministry of Machinery in sequence. The two jeeps at the door suddenly lit up their lights, started to accelerate, and joined the convoy.

One car accelerated to the front, and the other car was the rear.

When the front car passed by Li Xuewu, the window was pulled down, and it was Zhou Yao who waved.

Li Xuewu made a gesture to silence her, then pointed to the middle position of the command car and made a cross with two fingers.

Zhou Yao nodded in understanding, patted the driver's shoulder, and picked up the communication radio at the same time.

The command car overtook the Modu brand car and drove straight to the front to open the road and accelerate.

Four cars were connected one after another, speeding through the night, penetrating the early spring fog and rushing towards Dongcheng.

——

"Finally it's quiet, I was scared to death"

Seeing Li Xuewu coming down from upstairs, Qin Huairu patted her chest with some fear and said, "I prepared noodles for you, eat a bite before lying down."

"Then eat a bite, I'm a little hungry"

Li Xuewu nodded, and his coat on his arm was taken by Qin Huairu, frowning slightly and asked, "Have the leaders upstairs eaten too?"

"Director Li's has been sent up"

Qin Huairu replied, "Deputy Director Jing and Deputy Director Xue have already eaten, and Deputy Director Gu asked for a bowl of porridge."

"You should take care of yourself, sooner or later your stomach will be damaged by such tossing."

"Alas, I don't want to toss, but I can't let it be my own way"

Li Xuewu looked at the time on his hand, it was already past two o'clock.

"Eat a bite, go to bed early, tomorrow morning may be very busy."

"The earth won't turn without you?"

Qin Huairu packed her clothes, watched the waiter bring the bowl of noodles over, and went to help him get chopsticks.

"Xiao Jin is on duty, have you eaten?"

Li Xuewu knew the waiters here. When the agency ate here before, he often dealt with them.

Xiao Jin smiled and replied: "Hello, Deputy Director Li, I'm waiting for the morning meal, otherwise my stomach will be uncomfortable."

"Drink more water, especially on night shifts"

Li Xuewu nodded at her and smiled and said with concern: "It's easy to damage your skin over time, be careful not to get married."

"You still care about this?"

Qin Huairu came over with a smile and scolded him, then nodded to the smiling Xiao Jin and motioned for her to rest.

He sat opposite Li Xuewu, placed his chopsticks next to the noodle bowl, and said, "Eat slowly. I told Master Liu to lay down two eggs for you."

"So luxurious?"

Li Xuewu looked at the two poached eggs under the noodle bowl. This kind of treatment is not available in ordinary noodle restaurants.

Qin Huairu smiled and blinked and said, "Director Li has already said that you have worked hard and made great achievements, so you should make up for it."

"Well, Director Li is just teasing me, don't believe it."

Li Xuewu warned her half jokingly and half seriously, picked the noodles and started eating.

If he stayed up late, Li Xuewu would not eat because his stomach also needed to rest.

Although he didn't rest at this time, the organs in his body were already asleep.

Now it puts a burden on the stomach, and the liver is also affected. Sooner or later, he will "retaliate" against him.

But in this life, there are only two words: eating and drinking. I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it until tomorrow morning with an empty stomach.

Although the temperature during the day was very high, even wearing a jacket made me feel hot, and it didn’t feel too cold after ten o’clock at night.

But as soon as the early hours passed and I walked in the dark, I felt a different kind of coldness.

After one bite of noodles, a fine sweat started to form on the back of my body. This is the power of food.

Eating noodles and eggs while sipping the noodle soup is heart-warming and stomach-warming.

"Is Deputy Director Cheng okay?"

Qin Huairu asked with some concern: "Are you still going to deal with this matter tomorrow?"

"It's okay for now. Didn't the doctor check it out and leave the nurse to take care of it?"

Li Xuewu was sweating on his forehead as he ate. He handed her the chopsticks and said, "I'll give you an egg. I can't eat it. I'll drink some water first."

"This is for you, just eat it"

Qin Huairu pushed his hand and said, "I've eaten all of them. How can I stand staying up so late?"

"Don't let it go. I really can't eat it. Eat it with both hands. I like noodles."

Li Xuewu picked up his water glass and drank a few sips of hot water. Seeing Qin Huairu eating the eggs in small bites, he took the chopsticks and ate the noodles.

"Although there is nothing to guard against others about what happened tonight, it is better not to talk about it outside, especially to the waiters."

While eating noodles, he warned: "There are too many people living in the guest house now, and there are many people talking. Maybe something will spread, which is not good."

"I know, but you still dare to spread this around?"

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "When I received the notice from the security office, I gave instructions to the people on duty not to talk nonsense."

"Well, I don't worry about what you do."

Li Xuewu raised his head, looked at her with a smile, and asked, "Is your home very nice? I heard Qin Jingru said that she didn't go home during the New Year."

"Isn't this just in time for a reception mission?"

Qin Huairu rubbed her neck and said helplessly: "I just eat this bowl of rice, so I can't use my own time."

"Besides, there is no holiday during the Spring Festival itself. This is how family leave comes."

"You think everyone is like Qin Jingru. She has a car to pick her up and drop her off when she wants to go home. You are also good at spoiling her."

Qin Huairu glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "I have never seen how arrogant my second uncle is. He dares to sit at the same table and drink with the village chief, just because his daughter takes a car home."

"What? Your family also wants to have a drink with the village chief?"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Tell Guodong that I will lend you the car or take you back to your parents' home."

"You are so shabby that I won't sit down."

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to be in the limelight, and my parents don't need it either. Living a quiet life is no better than anything else."

"What about you? How is the child? He's fine, right?"

She took the initiative to express concern: "I heard from Aunt Liu that she has become chubby. Is she easy to coax?"

"I just came out of Yueke, how can I tell?"

Li Xuewu finished eating the noodles and the soup, wiped his mouth and said: "At this time, I only know how to eat, sleep after eating, and eat after sleeping. I am happier than anyone else."

"Isn't that what it is, kid?"

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Banggen was like this when he was a child. At that time, the family conditions were not bad, and I had enough nutrition. I could eat him like a small stone."

"No wonder I'm so fat now. I have a good foundation."

Li Xuewu glanced at her "nutrition cabin" with a smile and said: "With this job, whoever eats it will get fat."

"Fuck you! You're so naughty, just talk about it."

Qin Huairu scolded him, picked up the rice bowl and chopsticks on the table and said, "Go upstairs quickly. Everything is ready for you. Take a shower and rest early."

"Okay, let's eat and drink enough and go to sleep."

Li Xuewu stood up, slapped Qin Huairu's butt amidst her scolding, and went upstairs with a smile.

What happened to Cheng Kaiyuan was a bit sudden, and all the leaders were unprepared. This time, the response was timely and accurate, more reasonable and lucky.

If Li Huaide was vague and hesitant, even if he waited until tomorrow to deal with it, the result might not be like this.

No matter whether Cheng Kaiyuan can hold on or not, even the hesitant attitude of the steel rolling mill will make the other party harder.

At this time, the competition is not about who has evidence or who can speak better, but about patience, attitude, and who has more chips.

It is normal to be coveted by some people when he is expected to be promoted in the steel rolling mill and his career will take off. Even if Cheng Kaiyuan's incident happened, Li Huaide didn't think it was a surprise.

Of course, Cheng Kaiyuan's accident was an accident, but he had expected that someone would find trouble.

Li Huaide even suspected that Jing Yunong, Dong Wenxue, and even himself would get into trouble, but he didn't expect Cheng Kaiyuan to get into trouble.

Jing Yunong had studied abroad and was a serious college student and a cultured person. Especially the various styles she showed in her daily work, she was the one who should be attacked the most.

But she was unmoved and unshakable, and no one was willing to provoke her. It might have something to do with her personality and background.

Although Dong Wenxue had quietly dealt with the incident at the steel mill, as long as someone turned it upside down, something would inevitably happen.

However, Li Xuewu personally set up the situation and handled the aftermath. Li Huaide believed that Li Xuewu was better than Dong Wenxue, so the probability of Dong Wenxue getting into trouble depended on Li Xuewu.

As for himself, of course, he knew what he had done best. Starting from the big learning activities, one by one, one by one, if you really want to catch his little faults, you can't help but clean them up.

Cheng Kaiyuan was different. When he came out of the machinery factory, he had already defined his previous work.

After arriving at the steel mill, Li Huaide guaranteed that he did not give the other party any chance to take control of the real power and make a stupid mistake.

No one knows management better than him!

No one!
