Men and women eating in the courtyard

“The scenery here is actually pretty good”

The atmosphere in Jinmen is slightly different from that in Beijing. You can't say it smells like oysters, as that would seem too vulgar and rude.

To say that the warmth blowing in April is like a gentle hand, it always has a bit of refreshing sea salt, mixed with some unique loneliness in spring.

When you stand on the bank of the Haihe River, watching the ships swimming in the river, and suddenly looking back, you will definitely remember that your love is always waiting for you not far away.

Of course it's not to praise and describe the scenery in front of me more poetically, but I just want to remember a little bit of my mood at this time.

Otherwise, you have also seen the famous mountains and rivers that Li Bai once saw. His poems have been passed down by thousands of mouths, but you have only left a nest in the crowd.

People always have to be a little pretentious, otherwise what is the purpose of living, as long as it is not excessive.

Especially for intellectuals, if they encounter changes in life, hardships and setbacks, their emotional side will naturally come out at special times.

"I often stand here, looking at the house opposite, wondering what Li Xin is doing at this time."

Wu Shuping raised her hand to straighten her hair that was blown by the sea breeze around her ears. She turned back to look at Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "He is so cute."

At this time, there were only two of them on the pier, and Peng Xiaoli stood far away, not daring to come near.

Li Xuewu looked at her happy face, nodded slightly, untied his coat, and helped her cover it.

"It's fine up there, but the wind is still strong in the river."

He stretched out the collar of his coat and wrapped it around Wu Shuping, who looked a little plump after giving birth.

Wu Shuping accepted his concern calmly and said with a smile: "Gu Ning must be very happy, right? Is this the same in your daily life?"

"I haven't really confirmed the topic of happiness with her. She probably doesn't hate me."

Li Xuewu was wearing a navy blue administrative suit. He looked a bit old-fashioned, but he looked more calm.

He winked at Wu Shuping and said with a funny smile: "I'm actually not very familiar with her."

"Ha ha--!"

Wu Shuping was amused by him and laughed. She grabbed her coat and asked with crooked eyebrows: "The parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, a blind marriage and a mute marriage?"

"That's not the case. I still have some freedom. After all, it's a new society."

Li Xuewu jokingly pointed to the scar on his face and explained: "When I was injured, she was my treating doctor. After leaving this scar on me, I decided to take revenge on her and marry her home."

"I didn't expect she thought so too."

Under Wu Shumin's curious eyes, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Gu Ning wants to give me another knife to erase the dark history in the early days of her medical career."

"I don't believe-"

Wu Shuping pursed her lips and smiled: "Avon mentioned to me that you two are not only suitable in terms of personality, but also in temperament and lifestyle."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then he remembered the time Wu Shuping went to the courtyard.

"Perhaps this is the result of getting into the wrong sedan chair and marrying the right man, a combination of love and marriage."

After he concluded, he leaned on the railing on the pier and looked at the residential area opposite, and asked: "What about you, how did you meet Mr. Lai?"

"Childhood sweetheart? Matchmaker's words? Campus love? Or..."

"None of that-"

Wu Shuping and Li Xuewu stood together and looked at the house opposite. Recalling the past, they said: "On the ship back to China, Teacher Yang organized us to get to know each other, and that's it..."

At this point, she lowered her head slightly, and the smile on her face gradually turned bitter.

Li Xuewu didn't comfort her or make any jokes. He just stood with her silently, looking at the roar of the river, full of longing for her.

"Actually, it's pretty good now. I still have Li Xin. He's very cute." Wu Shuping sobbed and wiped the tears on her face and said, "I also received Jiasheng's letter. He is safe and everything is fine. We There is hope of reunion."

"I'm sorry for making you sad."

Li Xuewu apologetically handed her a handkerchief and said, "I originally wanted to say something happy, but I didn't expect it. It's my fault."

"I don't blame you, I miss him too much"

Wu Shuping collected her emotions, wiped her tears, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "How long will you stay here this time? Will you go back on Monday?"

"Go back tomorrow, Saturday," Li Xuewu explained. "The on-site meeting will last for two days. Time is very tight. There is also a dinner party with Jinmen Fisheries Company tonight."

"Do I need to participate?"

Li Xuewu arranged for someone to pick her up, probably not just to see her, or to stand here and act for some people.

Wu Shuping is a very smart and capable woman. She can't help but be emotional, and her IQ is her survival instinct.

"Is it about planning to build a recycling bin? Or..."

"There is also the seafood supply chain. There are two things, one is overt and the other is covert, and you need to be in charge of the work."

Li Xuewu looked at her and said, "If it's inconvenient, there's no need to go tonight. It's just a meeting. There will be opportunities in the future."

"No, it's nothing inconvenient."

Wu Shuping pursed her lips, looked at Li Xuewu and said stubbornly: "Since I have to do one thing, then I will choose to do it well."

"Thank you. I know this is a very difficult choice for you. I'm sorry."

Li Xuewu explained: "The work here is very important, and I can't worry about other people."

"I know, so don't be too polite"

Wu Shuping smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your trust. This makes me very honored. I also hope to be self-reliant and have a job to raise Li Xin."

Although Li Xuewu once told her that as long as she helped him with the cover-up work in Jinmen, he would be responsible for the living expenses of their mother and son.

But even in the capital, in a closed environment like a prison, Wu Shuping still insisted on supporting herself and not relying on others to support her.

Having Li Xuewu need her talents is undoubtedly a good thing for her who is in deep trouble.

It was out of respect for her that Li Xuewu dared to ask her to participate in the operation of the recycling station in Jinmen.

With such a talented and knowledgeable person in charge of the operation of the recycling station in Jinmen, Shen Guodong does not have to worry about anything going wrong here.

After all, traveling back and forth from Beijing to Tianmen is not a normal way of doing business, not to mention that there is a lot of work in Beijing.

"Your work in Jinmen is very important, especially in the early stages of establishing the recycling station. There will be a lot of pressure."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "Communicate more with Shen Guodong, and he will help you complete the preliminary construction. I will also dispatch a few people to help you."

"Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think. My family has been in business for generations."

Wu Shuping smiled confidently, and then said seriously: "I am confident to complete the work you gave me, but only if I take good care of the child."

"That's for sure, I think so too"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "If Sister Lu can't take care of her alone, I can hire another nanny for you."

He pursed his lips, looked at Wu Shuping apologetically and said, "What I can do for you is limited. Gu Ning is inconvenient to take care of her children at work, so I ordered two refrigerators from Hong Kong City and left one for you."

“No need to bother”

Wu Shuping smiled and said with some emotion: "It's not like I have to work outside all the time. The helper you arranged for me doesn't know everything, right?"

"Of course not, but it is true that their abilities are limited and they need you to make many decisions."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said: "I will send someone back from Hong Kong City. He is a brother I trust enough. If you have anything to do, you can arrange for him to do it."

"In addition, Zhou Xiaobai, who was here last time, is also willing to come to Jinmen to help you. In addition, I will transfer two young people from the recycling station in the capital to come here."

This arrangement was decided after he discussed it with Shen Guodong. The second child has received the news and will come back with the ship in the near future.

"It's Miss Xiaobai. Doesn't she work in a club in the capital?"

Wu Shuping blinked and said, "She told me about this last time."

"Well, it's just playing in the club, not working. This time it's mainly about studying and exercising."

Li Xuewu shook his head helplessly, looked at her and asked, "Has Zhou Xiaobai mentioned her family background to you?"

"No - but I can tell"

Wu Shuping said: "There are rules and seriousness in speech and behavior that children from ordinary families do not have."

"Her father is a highly qualified cadre who works in the army."

Li Xuewu explained briefly, and then said: "Whether she is in the club or coming to Tianjin, work is one aspect, you should understand what I mean."

"I understand, but..."

Wu Shuping asked in surprise: "If you want to exercise, shouldn't you go to the work unit?"

"I think so too, and I believe her parents think so too."

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "But she didn't think so. Children in the rebellious stage are always willful."

"Although I have never met her father, I understand their family's arrangements and thoughts."

Turning around and leaning against the railing, he said: "We should wait until she is a little older so that we can send her to the army or other units for training."

"Now, just let her have her way for the time being, and there won't be any problems anyway."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "You can't arrange for her to do the work at the recycling bin. That's the general manager of the seafood supply chain I invited."

"Tsk-hahaha!"

Wu Shuping couldn't help laughing, glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "You are so courageous. You kidnapped someone else's daughter without telling her, and you also used someone else's guise."

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I haven't done anything, we are innocent."

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "His father is not afraid that I will use his daughter to do things."

"I'm afraid she still wants to use my convenience to give her daughter more opportunities to get in touch with society. Otherwise, why do you think she can come to Tianjin?"

"So, she is my leader?"

Wu Shuping asked funnyly: "Am I going to ask her for instructions and report on the work?"

"Don't, just let her study more with you."

Li Xuewu pointed to the other side of the river behind him and said, "Is it okay if I arrange for her to live with you? It should be good for you."

"Will her father come to investigate me?"

Wu Shuping raised her eyebrows indifferently and asked with a smile: "If he asks about your relationship with Zhou Xiaobai, how should I answer?"

"Whatever, even if you just say that we sleep together -" Li Xuewu smiled heartily and said, "Her father doesn't care about this."

Wu Shuping narrowed her eyes and deliberately threatened: "But you really slept together!"

——

During the lunch break, Li Huaide took a restful sleep in the lounge and felt refreshed when he woke up.

Seeing Li Xuewu coming over, he greeted, "Didn't you take a break?"

“Went to meet a friend”

Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, rejecting Li Haiyang's offer to make him tea.

He took the initiative to report: "Are you going to have dinner with Director Han and Vice President Zhang tonight?"

"Well, Lao Han arranged for his secretary to come."

Li Huaide took a sip of the hot tea that Li Haiyang had prepared a long time ago, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's because the good wine is missing, and I really want to practice."

He raised his head and glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "If I had one-tenth of your drinking capacity, I wouldn't be choked and yelled at by him like this."

"It's okay, I'll help you stop drinking."

Li Xuewu sat down with a smile and said: "I just don't know how the opponent's firepower is arranged. I'm afraid that it's hard for two fists to defeat four hands."

“Not too crowded”

Li Huaide waved his hand and said, "It should be just the four of us. Oh, by the way, you mean you have a friend who wants to come with you?"

"That's right, leader"

Li Xuewu blinked slightly and said, "My friend at the Beijing dealership wants to sit with us for convenience."

"It's okay, it's not an important dinner, we just want to make friends."

Li Huaide didn't react at first. It wasn't until he heard Li Xuewu's timely feedback that he finally figured out the meaning of Li Xuewu's words.

He glanced at Li Haiyang, who was sorting out documents, and looked at Li Xuewu opposite, raising his eyebrows and confirming.

Li Xuewu nodded vaguely, but said jokingly: "As long as you don't care, I will give you a surprise then."

"Hehehe——"

Li Huaide chuckled and nodded: "I'm really looking forward to a surprise from you tonight!"

If you have enough energy at noon, you will feel confident to hold the meeting in the afternoon.

In the large conference room of the Jinmen Trade Management Center, representatives from various departments and accompanying staff from the steel rolling mill are already in place.

When Li Huaide and Jing Yunong walked into the conference room, warm applause erupted instantly.

Of course, the applause must be warm, because today is a hat-distribution meeting.

If we decide on 12 offices at once, how many positions will be decided?

Six more are planned to be built next month and another six in September. Before the official production of cars and motorcycles this year, it is necessary to expand the sales network.

According to the three-year plan, this work should be completed within two years.

But who made the steel rolling mill negotiate several big orders in February and March? With money in their pockets, they instantly felt confident.

"Comrades are very enthusiastic, haha——!"

After sitting down, Li Huaide smiled and looked at the cadres and workers below, and said, "You know something good will happen today, right?"

He looked at Li Xuewu and Zhuang Cangshu on his right and asked, "It can't be criticism?"

The venue instantly became serious because of his words, and some cadres and workers who had not had much contact with the leaders became nervous.

Li Huaide looked down and nodded, and said in a serious tone: "I have to say ugly things in front of others. I can give you a hat, but if you don't do your job well, it's not as simple as taking off the hat."

"Really, Director Zhuang?"

"Yes, leader, we will work hard"

Zhuang Cangshu was named by Director Li, knowing that it was not only targeted at him, but also against everyone in the management center.

After feeding so many carrots in the morning, it’s time to give them a stick in the afternoon, otherwise they would have to be spoiled.

Warmth and tolerance are for the masses, while seriousness and earnestness are for those in charge.

Li Huaide nodded, motioned to Jing Yunong beside him and said, "Deputy Director Jing and I came today with twelve test papers."

He looked down, raised his hand and nodded, and said: "Those whose names are called today will go to the examination room first. The remaining six test papers will be reserved for those who want to do things and dare to do things."

"Those who advance to the examination room should not be proud or nervous, and use your talents normally."

Li Huaide looked at some cadres sitting in the front row and said: "Use your youth and blood to create a glory."

"The results of this test paper are not for me, Li Huaide, nor for Deputy Director Jing, nor for Deputy Director Li."

He patted the document at hand and said: "You are the ones who want to make it for the 32,000 employees in the whole factory to see. It is for the organization to see."

"For those who perform well, the organization will not hesitate to cultivate them. For those who are just trying to show off, the comrades will kick you out, so you must think clearly whether you can shoulder the important task of opening up new territories."

Li Huaide wanted to express his attitude on behalf of the steel rolling mill and the management committee at the trade management center cadre appointment meeting at the on-site meeting.

This is not to scare them or to joke with them.

The candidates for the office director appointed this time in the factory are all elite soldiers and generals who were selected after careful inspection and investigation.

Many office locations were selected this time. The steel rolling mill has no working foundation, and they really need to build trade nodes from scratch.

Li Huaide gave them hope, and the steel rolling mill also invested huge manpower and material resources in this layout.

Therefore, the main theme of today's live meeting should not be joyful and lively, but should be serious and prepared to meet challenges.

Jing Yunong also emphasized this point in his subsequent speech, focusing on explaining the factory's strategic intention for this sales network construction.

It is planned to open offices in major cities across the country by the end of this year to carry out trade, services and procurement work.

The Joint Trade Center has a heavy responsibility and a heavy burden. The two main factory leaders personally attended the on-site meeting, which is enough to show the seriousness of this work.

In his speech, Jing Yunong announced the cities that first opened offices in May: Jicheng, Fengcheng, Changshan, Green City, Chang'an, and Quzhou.

The cities that opened offices in September are: Bingcheng, Yangcheng, Jincheng, Lincheng, Quancheng, and Chuncheng.

Among the six cities that started investment and construction in May, the steel rolling mill has a working foundation in Jicheng.

As the capital city of Liaoning Province, Fengcheng has also laid a good communication foundation with the other party in the work of Gangcheng and Yingcheng.

The other four cities have a weak working foundation. It is exactly what Li Huaide said that the cadres who are selected and sent need to strictly implement the attitude of self-reliance and hard work to carry out the goal of work.

Among the six cities that invested and built in September, Bingcheng is located in Heilongjiang Province and can communicate through the nearby trade network.

Yangcheng also has a certain foundation because the steel rolling mill has participated in foreign trade fairs.

The fruit trade channels in Jincheng and Lincheng have been opened, and there is a relatively mature communication network.

Only Quancheng, which is closer to the capital, and Chuncheng, which is the farthest away, have no working foundation.

But whether there is a working foundation or not, the establishment of an office is difficult and a heavy responsibility for the first office cadres.

In his subsequent speech, Li Xuewu pointed out that the twelve key cities include provincial capitals and large cities, and the establishment of offices has important strategic significance for the overall sales situation of the steel rolling mill.

Only by deeply fixing the anchor point can we connect the points into lines, sweep the surface with the points, and finally form a comprehensive and specific sales network.

The office team is taken out and takes root. Whether it is good or bad depends on whether the first cadre can take responsibility and whether he can bravely shoulder the heavy responsibility.

If the soldiers are timid, the generals will be timid. Li Xuewu slammed the table and emphasized that this tough battle must be won to open up a new situation for the steel rolling mill! ——

"Oh, it's Teacher Wu——"

After the on-site meeting of the Trade Management Center, Li Huaide and others held organizational talks with the cadres of the Management Center and the heads of the six offices that will be leaving in May.

After the talk, Li Xuewu rejected the dinner arranged by Zhuang Cangshu on behalf of Li Huaide, and explained to Jing Yunong.

Jing Yunong didn't care that the two of them went out for socializing at night without her.

They were tired and exhausted, especially after an afternoon of meetings.

She also agreed with Li Xuewu that they would have a bite in the cafeteria tonight and rest early.

When Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huaide out of the Trade Management Center, he saw Wu Shuping standing by the car in a more decent outfit.

"Hello, Director Li, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Wu Shuping smiled and greeted, walked over politely, and shook Li Huaide's hand when she saw him extend his hand.

"Hahaha——this Li Xuewu!"

Li Huaide gently shook Wu Shuping's hand and then let go of it gracefully. He raised his hand and pointed at Li Xuewu and said to her: "He told me at noon that he would give me a surprise in the evening, hahaha!"

"I didn't expect it to be you——!"

"Let me introduce you again"

Li Xuewu joked: "This is Ms. Wu Shuping who is responsible for the seafood supply chain distribution business."

"Hahaha, good, good"

Obviously, Li Huaide is very satisfied with the person in charge of the seafood business arranged by Li Xuewu in Tianjin.

This project is very hidden for others, and even the specific person in charge cannot be found.

The project has neither an implementing entity nor a benefit entity. It is completely attached to the business communication of the four units.

Even if it is Li Huaide, he doesn't know who is doing this project and who is the person in charge.

Of course, if you say that his wife is the person in charge, that is completely covering up the truth.

Doesn't his wife go to work or do her job?

However, at the end of last month, her husband received a salary remittance receipt, which was the salary standard for the deputy director level of administrative level 15, 127 yuan, no more, no less, and was deposited into the bank account.

Do you think a dignified director of the management committee would care about such a small salary?

Of course not, Li Huaide's family does not worry about living conditions at all, but this is a matter of attitude.

Moreover, is this 127 yuan?

This is 127 yuan every month!

Can you guarantee that Director Li's wife will not be promoted because of outstanding work performance and excellent grades?

There are also labor bonuses and salary subsidies.

Lao Li does not care where the money comes from, let alone how much Li Xuewu earns from this channel. He only cares whether the money is safe.

How to determine whether the money is safe?

It's very simple. Director Han's wife of the aquatic product company received the salary remittance, and Deputy General Manager Zhang's brother-in-law also received the salary return.

Most importantly, Zhou Xiaobai also received it.

Li Xuewu will not joke about his own future, let alone the future of others.

He dared not joke with Zhou Zhennan's daughter, so Old Li was very pleased with his arrangement.

He was not without jealousy of Li Xuewu's arrangement and arrangement of the distribution unit.

He specially arranged his secretary as the person in charge of the frontier office.

Such a good trade foundation and such a stable work foundation were turned into a pile of shit by Jin Yaohui. He had to hold his nose and ask Li Xuewu to re-arrange the distribution unit to take over. It was disgusting.

It was worthy of him to be able to arrange a way out for him, but this Jin Yaohui dared to resent him and even threatened him by jumping off the building in front of him.

How could he still be kind to such an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf? Can you still be soft-hearted?

Of course, he didn't make it too difficult for Jin Yaohui's family.

Li Xuewu didn't know who he arranged to talk to Jin Yaohui's family. Anyway, the body was collected and cremated, but there was no response at all.

What's your reaction?

All the extravagant wealth in the family has been confiscated by the disciplinary inspector. If he dares to jump again, the hidden wealth will have to be dug out. Do Jin Yaohui's children still want to go to work?

How else could Li Huaide say that Jin Yaohui was a fool for actually knocking on the door in the middle of the night, which made him so angry that he wanted to slap him.

He really didn't confiscate much from the border office, but Jin Yaohui made him so embarrassed.

If Jin Yaohui is as reliable as Li Xuewu, why would he reuse Li Xuewu?

Just looking at the people he interacts with and the way they act, you can tell that he is definitely not someone who can be manipulated by him, but cooperation is still possible.

"After all, she is a woman who has read a lot of poetry and books."

Li Huaide sat in the back seat of the car, smiled and praised Li Xuewu beside him: "The temperament and language expression are just different."

"Director Li, you have given me the award."

Wu Shuping, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned back and said with a smile: "I still need to learn more from you."

She glanced at Li Xuewu and said: "After all, I don't have much business experience. If I don't understand something in the future, I hope you will give me some advice."

"Hey, isn't it too far to say that-"

Li Huaide smiled knowingly, understood the meaning behind her words, nodded and said: "We live as neighbors, but we should help each other when in need."

"Comrade Xuewu, what do you think?"

"Yes, Director Li, you speak so cordially, she really needs to learn from it."

Li Xuewu looked at Wu Shuping with a smile and said, "Since Director Li doesn't treat you as an outsider, you shouldn't be so polite and just do your job well."

"Yes, I understand."

Wu Shuping smiled gently and said, "If I do something bad, please criticize me more."

"Look, just after I said that-" Li Huaide nodded at her with a smile and said to Li Xuewu: "She did care about what you said."

"However, you should communicate more with Comrade Xuewu when it comes to business matters. He is very experienced."

Li Huaide shook his fingers beside his head and said, "The important thing is the idea. If the idea is right, the work will be easier to do."

"I'm not worried about her in terms of business."

Seeing that the car was about to arrive at the reception hotel, Li Xuewu motioned to Li Huaide and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to talk to Jinmen here."

"That's why I brought her here today to use your power to open up the situation."

"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of Lao Han."

Li Huaide raised his hand and touched Li Xuewu's arm and said, "Just come down and talk to Zhang Changming. I believe Teacher Wu can handle it."

As he spoke like this, the car had stopped in front of the hotel. A receptionist from Jinmen Fisheries helped open the door. Zhang Changming was already waiting outside.

"Director Li, haha, long time no see"

Zhang Changming smiled and shook hands with Li Huaide, and then greeted Li Xuewu who got off the car: "Deputy Director Li, you are well."

"It's okay, it's okay, hahaha——"

Li Xuewu shook hands with him jokingly, then waved his arm around Wu Shuping's shoulders and introduced him: "This is my friend, Wu Shuping."

"Hello, Vice President Zhang, we have met before"

Wu Shuping took the initiative to say hello: "Last time you and Director Han played cards at Director Li's house, and you even came to my place for dinner, which is right next door."

"Oh, I remembered, Teacher Wu"

Zhang Changming smiled and shook hands with her and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were too beautiful today."

He quickly let go of his hand, patted Li Xuewu's arm, and said: "Xuewu didn't introduce you to me last time, he just said that you are a confidante."

"You are a cultural person after all. He always talks in the same way." Li Xuewu said to Li Huaide with a smile: "Why don't I remember such a sentence!"

"Hahaha—quick, please come inside!"

Zhang Changming smiled and raised his hand to indicate inside the hotel: "Director Han is waiting for us inside."

"Director Han said you want to practice?"

Li Huaide joked as he walked in: "Has he taken the magic elixir recently? How dare you challenge us like this? Don't you know we have the Dinghai Shenzhen?"

"You have to tell our Director Han about this."

Zhang Changming said with a smile: "Director Han said that soldiers should fight against soldiers, and against generals. I just need to keep Xuewu with me, and he will deal with you."

"But let me tell you in advance, I will definitely not be able to learn martial arts if I drink. I accept it."

He took Li Xuewu's arm and said, "If I offend you in any way at the wine table, you can treat me as if I have done my best."

"This is not like Vice President Zhang——!"

At the door of the box, Li Xuewu said to Li Huaide with a smile: "He was once a warrior who killed himself with alcohol!"

"What kind of warrior can pass the test like this!"

A secretary opened the door to the private room, and Li Huaide walked in first. He smiled, shook hands with Director Han, and exchanged pleasantries.

Li Xuewu and Zhang Changming gave way to each other, and finally Wu Shuping walked in first, followed by Li Xuewu, and finally Zhang Changming.

The secretary sensibly closed the door temporarily and stood guard at the door. He would only open the door when food was being passed around.

In the box, except for Wu Shuping, who was not very familiar with him, the four of them could be regarded as drinking buddies.

There was joking and intimacy in the greetings, and under the excitement were the involvement and fetters of different interests.

After Li Xuewu introduced Wu Shuping, Director Han took the initiative to shake hands with her and talked about the last time he had dinner at home.

After they sat down in order, the secretary at the door knocked gently, and then a waiter came in with cold dishes.

"We didn't prepare it in our guesthouse today, knowing that you are tired of it."

Han Qingwei smiled and said: "This restaurant has a unique Huaiyang cuisine, which is rare and authentic in Tianjin."

He pointed at Zhang Changming and introduced: "It was Changming who told me that I couldn't give it up after coming here once, and I especially like the taste here."

"It seems that I have a good meal today."

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at him and said: "Our Director Li said that you have a unique taste for food and a unique evaluation standard, and you are trustworthy."

"Your Director Li is also a gourmet"

Han Qingwei smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to pick up their chopsticks, and he nodded and said: "I don't have any other hobbies, but I love the desire of the tongue, but unfortunately my body doesn't allow it."

"I couldn't afford it when I was young, but now I can afford it but can't eat it anymore."

"You still have to be moderate, I also like this bite" Li Huaide raised his wine glass and said to him: "It is still necessary to find a Chinese medicine doctor to regulate it."

"Chinese medicine? It's almost like a god"

Han Qingwei raised his wine glass and said: "Unless it is a panacea for rejuvenation!"

After that, he clinked glasses with Li Huaide and said: "Come on, we can't compare with young people, let's drink slowly and taste it, hahaha!"

Huaiyang cuisine is one of the four traditional cuisines, originated in Yangzhou and Huai'an.

The raw materials are mostly aquatic products, with river and lake fresh as the main ingredients, supported by top cooking skills, with original flavors and colors as the best, and with the pursuit of perfect harmony with all tastes.

It is appreciated by both the refined and the vulgar without losing its elegance, especially the unique concept of "harmony, refinement, clarity and novelty".

When Han Qingwei invites guests, he either feasts in a guesthouse or in a high-end restaurant with unique tastes.

Being able to invite guests here and get a private room is enough to show his influence in Tianjin.

This is not a social event between units, but just a reunion between good friends after a long separation.

So there is no drinking contest or drinking competition as jokes before, and there is no opposition.

From the recent work, to the weather, and then to the changes and impacts of the situation.

We are all in the game, and we have to drink the bitterness of the cup.

Han Qingwei and Li Huaide are in similar positions, but he envies Li Huaide more.

After all, the steel mill is rising, and he, who has the advantage of the location, does not see much breakthrough in the development of Tianjin's water production capacity.

At the table, the matter of filling up Liangma River in Beijing a few days ago to grant land to the steel mill was mentioned.

Han Qingwei teased Li Huaide and invited him to come to Tianjin for business, where the feng shui was better.

Li Huaide joked that Tianjin had Han Qingwei as a wine fairy, and it was better for him, Lao Li, to have no one to be with.

It could be heard that someone had asked Han Qingwei to test Lao Li's words. After all, people in Hubei Province could hear the wind, let alone Tianjin.

But Lao Li was also tight-lipped. He did not give Han Qingwei a chance to speak out, and directly denied this possibility. It was not appropriate to come to Tianjin.

This place does have the convenience of a seaport, but it also lost a side of land, and it was congenitally lacking a gate.

Look at the dynasties, which emperor wanted to build the capital by the sea?

Being a person should be stable, and so is doing business. Unlike the extreme pursuit of economic convenience in later generations, large groups are better to be stable.

The two sides also exchanged views on business work. The progress of the food factory construction of the steel rolling mill was affected, but Li Huaide promised that it would not be delayed for too long.

The processing of seafood and canned food will still follow the cooperation plan and purchase raw materials from the aquatic company.

Of course, since Li Xuewu brought Wu Shuping with him, the topic of seafood supply chain was not discussed. Everyone understood.

Han Qingwei may not lack the one or two hundred yuan per month, but he lacks a stable and safe 127 yuan, or even more.

So when he saw Wu Shuping, he already had confidence in this project.

After a good meal, the host and the guests were happy.

Because Li Xuewu and Li Huaide were going back to Beijing tomorrow, Han Qingwei sent them to the door and said a few more words of friendship.

Then he stood in front of the door and watched their car leave, showing his sincerity.

On the way back, Li Xuewu and Li Huaide chatted for a while and talked about the next cooperation.

He advocated a one-to-one cooperation strategy, giving suppliers preferential treatment and convenience on fishing boats and patrol boats, and actively cooperating in aquatic product procurement to dispel their concerns.

Li Huaide also shared this opinion. He had a good impression of Han Qingwei and Zhang Changming of Jinmen Aquatic Products, and he also told Li Xuewu to study it after returning to see if the channel could be expanded.

Li Xuewu thought about it, and the only way was to build a cold chain transportation system, but the steel mill only had two refrigerated trains, so it naturally couldn't compete with the aquatic company in winter.

It was convenient to occupy the market in spring, summer and autumn, but the transportation cost was there, and how could so many people afford seafood at this time.

Therefore, deep processing of seafood food is the only channel for deep cooperation.

The seafood supply chain can also operate under such cost constraints.

Based on short-distance, frozen transportation, it supplies Gangcheng, Fengcheng, Jicheng, Beijing and other places. People in these places dare to eat and can afford it.

After getting off the car in front of the two villas, Li Xuewu and Wu Shuping watched Li Huaide leave, and then returned to their own side.

Wu Shuping told Li Xuewu that she met Zhou Miaomiao in the afternoon, just opposite.

It was still a bit sour to know that she was going to the banquet with Li Xuewu and others.

Li Xuewu shook his head with a smile and said nothing. Some people don’t even have the qualifications to be spoiled, but they actually want to act like the queen.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard the child crying. Wu Shuping hurriedly took off her coat and went to the guest room on the first floor. That was the room where Sister Lu lived.

Maybe they came back late, the child was hungry, and cried so sadly.

Sister Lu walked out of the room and greeted Li Xuewu apologetically.

Li Xuewu waved his hand and didn't care about it. After all, a child will cry no matter how carefully he is taken care of. That's his instinct.

After washing upstairs, Wu Shuping had already returned to the master bedroom with the child in her arms.

"Hold me, good child"

Li Xuewu smiled and took the child from her hands into his arms, saying: "You are the older brother, the one in Beijing is the younger brother, and you have a sister named Li Shu".
