Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Mr. Andrew? Of course we are friends! There is no doubt about it!"

Li Xuewu stood up and went out to greet him. He smiled and held the other person's hand and said, "Why are you here? You didn't even say hello in advance so that I could welcome you."

"I cherish Mr. Li's friendship very much, and I have sincere hopes for him."

Andrew said with a straight face: "But now I have doubts about my sincerity. I feel that I have been treated unfairly."

"Where do you start talking about this? Sit down quickly!"

Li Xuewu asked the other party to sit down on the sofa, waved to Peng Xiaoli who followed him and said: "Make me a cup of coffee and bring it to Mr. Andrew. Don't add sugar -!"

Peng Xiaoli responded and went to work on the tea cabinet. The last time he prepared coffee for Deputy Director Jing, he also left a can here.

Although Li Xuewu does not entertain many foreign businessmen here, it is inevitable that a few will come. These foreigners like coffee.

But you can make tea for them, but they are not very good at drinking it and are not used to it.

Of course, there is a tacit understanding between Li Xuewu and Peng Xiaoli. There are secret codes for making tea and coffee, and it is impossible to emphasize anything casually.

Making tea with the best tea leaves is one, making coffee without adding sugar is another one that Li Xuewu said, meaning to find out the reason quickly.

Why did Andrew come to the steel rolling mill in a hurry? If Li Xuewu didn't know what he was doing, he wouldn't dare to say hello to him. This was considered foreign affairs work.

"Mr. Andrew, don't be impatient. Let's talk about it slowly. I will solve it if I can. You will never be wronged."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "I respect my friends the most, value friendship the most, and I hate to cheat my friends. Please believe me."

"Of course I believe you. I see everything you do and do."

Andrew was calm. He sat on the sofa and said, "But why don't I know that Yingcheng Shipyard has changed its new shipbuilding project?"

"I want to explain this to you."

Li Xuewu glanced at Peng Xiaoli, who came in with coffee, and said with a smile: "The production changes at Yingcheng Shipyard belong to the new project plan and do not conflict with the original plan."

"In other words, the new projects currently being implemented are only for large cargo ships, and they are larger cargo ships. They will not interfere with small ships."

"Mr. Li, I am an upright person. I will not hide anything I say and beat around the bush."

Andrew said seriously: "The production base of a factory is quantitative, not variable. Even if it is a variable of dynamic balance, I do not believe that Yingcheng Shipyard has the ability to maintain it."

He shook his head slightly and said, "My family has been running shipyards for generations, so I should know more about business management and operations than you do."

The meaning of Andrew's words was obvious. Whether it was production, technology, or corporate management, Li Xuewu could not deceive him.

According to Li Xuewu's answer, he did not believe that starting a new project would not affect the existing small boat project.

As for what Li Xuewu told him about friends, friendship, not cheating, etc., he wouldn't even believe it. He is already in his forties.

It is understandable that someone in their twenties would be easily fooled, but if someone in their forties is fooled by a young man in his early twenties, what will happen to him?

"It seems that you have learned about the new project we are about to start and build at Yingcheng Shipyard, right, Mr. Andrew?"

Li Xuewu was not stopped by the other party's question, but asked back with a smile.

Then, without waiting for the other party's answer, he continued: "Of course I agree with your knowledge base and management experience in the shipbuilding industry."

"However, what you have learned must not be as complete as mine." He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "After all, I am the cadre of the Red Star Factory, or the cadre in charge of this business, what do you think?"

"I want to hear your explanation, Mr. Li." Although Andrew came in a hurry, he came prepared and was not here to quarrel.

He picked up the coffee and took a sip. He felt that the taste was okay, but it didn't have the aroma of hand grinding.

The secretary who saw the other party dug out a can of coffee from the tea cabinet, but this kind of office coffee is also used for entertainment in Europe.

"I have no doubt about your company's investment and enthusiasm in the shipbuilding industry, nor do I doubt the foundation and future of our cooperation."

Andrew put down his coffee cup and said, "I'm just worried about your factory's expansion plan. Please understand this."

"Of course, only helping each other is true friendship. I completely agree with your concerns and feel honored and gratified about it."

Li Xuewu first confirmed the other party's suspicion, and then explained seriously: "Actually, what you learned is not very comprehensive."

"What I mean is that the expansion of Yingcheng Shipyard and the addition of new projects are only preparatory plans, and everything will have to wait until subsequent plans are implemented."

He folded his right leg and said: "This is a relatively large set of business adjustments and additions, including the ecological industrial zone plan that Hongxing Factory is preparing."

"We want to integrate 16 medium and large enterprises and merge their production tasks, equipment, personnel, land, raw materials and other resources."

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "The manpower reserve you are worried about is actually a burden in our opinion. We have too many people."

He raised his hand and opened his palm to indicate: "From now to the end of the year, we will arrange for more than 56,000 cadres and workers to come to work."

"Some of the existing workers at Yingcheng Shipyard will also be transferred to shipbuilding production positions, including various technologies and equipment."

"As for the lack of technology you mentioned, I would like to briefly explain this to you."

Li Xuewu said more cautiously: "We are negotiating with the French, which is the Sentaya Group you know."

Under Andrew's clear eyes, he introduced: "We will carry out a package of cooperation projects, including the introduction of manufacturing technology and production equipment for large ships."

"As for the Yingcheng Shipyard, I can assure you that the yacht manufacturing industry will never be affected."

Li Xuewu smiled and patted the armrest of the sofa and said: "If you think there is a problem with the current production process or construction speed, please contact me at any time, and I will let the shipyard give you a satisfactory answer. What do you think?"

"Of course I believe you, you are a trustworthy friend."

Andrew thought for a moment and asked, "Can I know more about the business changes at the shipyard? It's more convenient."

He was very cautious, knowing that the negotiations between Red Star Factory and Santaya had not yet been completed, so he maintained a cautious attitude during the inquiry process.

"Of course, we are not just friends, but also trading partners."

When Li Xuewu heard that he was interested in the shipyard's next business development, he already had more ideas in his mind.

He signaled to Peng Xiaoli: "I think the cantaloupe you eat is good. Bring it to Mr. Andrew to try it."

"Okay, Xiao Yang brought it here." Peng Xiaoli explained with a smile: "His mother made the shed herself, and it's quite sweet to eat."

Li Xuewu nodded, translated Peng Xiaoli's words for Andrew, and then said with a smile: "Our factory will complete the ecological industry layout this year. Maybe next year you will be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables produced by us."

"I have heard Mr. Xu say that the development speed of your factory is really amazing and eye-catching." Andrew shook his head and praised: "I think this is an impossible task."

He looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "If your factory completes the integration and merger of the 16 medium and large enterprises you mentioned, will the number of workers reach 100,000?"

"Not yet, probably less than 90,000 people."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "There are some differences between our production management model and your old-style capital management."

"For example, in terms of logistical support and welfare benefits, we do everything ourselves, and we must provide factory employees with the best guarantees in terms of housing and life."

He took a sip of hot tea and said, "The industrial development of the shipyard that you are concerned about is actually part of the ecological industry."

Seeing that Andrew listened carefully, he said seriously: "Sentaya has put forward an order for a 10,000-ton cargo ship. We also want to take this opportunity to start a cargo ship manufacturing project during the construction of the shipyard. This is an opportunity. ”

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said, "Your Geely Star has brought technical projects such as glass fiber reinforced plastics, powertrains and generators to the Red Star Factory."

"We have since seen ways to acquire advanced technology through cooperation and use cheap labor to improve industrial standards in the early stages of development."

When he saw Peng Xiaoli coming in with a plate of cut cantaloupe, he smiled and gave way, then continued: "Ms. Chantal is more concerned about the trade market and will not conflict with your business."

"But there is one thing I still want to remind you. It's a small suggestion."

Just as Andrew picked up the cantaloupe to taste, Li Xuewu said: "I know that you also have a shipping layout in the port city. I wonder what you think of the current economy in Southeast Asia?"

"Mr. Li, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. I actually don't care much about shipping operations. My main focus is on yachts."

Andrew ate the cantaloupe, smiled and nodded to Peng Xiaoli, and then said to Li Xuewu: "You mean you have ideas about shipping?"

"No, it's not that we have ideas about shipping. We have too many restrictions on shipping. The capital model alone has obstacles."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly, looked at Andrew and said, "You have been operating in Southeast Asia for many years, so you should have resource connections in this area."

"Judging from some of the situations I have learned, although Southeast Asia is still in the development stage, its economic level is relatively backward."

"After the economic crisis, there has been a decline in productivity and a weakening of the production economy, but I believe this is temporary."

He raised his eyebrows and said: "My friend is also engaged in shipping trade. He has a relatively confident attitude towards this business and feels that it has great potential."

"Are you suggesting that I expand shipping?"

Andrew frowned slightly and said, "I don't understand what you mean, can you be more detailed?"

"Not entirely, or not just, it depends on your choice."

Li Xuewu said bluntly: "When the economy goes down, it must rise. The foundation must be industry. The impact of cheap labor on the capital market will inevitably bring about a reverse revival of industrial goods."

"The shipping trade is about to usher in great development, and it is impossible without ships. Are you interested in developing the ship sales market in Southeast Asia?"

"I'm talking about medium and large cargo ships."

Li Xuewu finally emphasized: "Medium and large cargo ships with standardized loading capabilities."

"You also want to build container ships?"

Andrew looked at him in surprise and said, "You don't even have the ability to connect with shipping alliances, how can you develop this kind of transportation industry?"

"But we have a larger population, a broader industrial base, a larger trade market and a demand market for industrial products."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "I also know that the current shipping price of containers is US$23 per cubic meter. I am very envious and anxious."

He pursed his lips and said, "If we can have our own maritime trade alliance and connect with the world's industrial system, we will earn the money."

Andrew raised his eyebrows after hearing his words and asked tentatively: "Then do you know how many maritime shipping trade alliances there are in the world?"

"More than 20, no more than 30 companies, the competition is quite fierce."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "But you must also see that shipping has just developed."

"Of course! Of course, of course I can see it, because I have investments and business in this area, and I am also aware of these situations."

Andrew thought about it and said, "You want to get involved in the World Industrial System Trade Alliance through the shipbuilding industry and take an unconventional path, right?"

He hesitated and said: "This is not a new idea. Some people have done this before, but they were unsuccessful because they could not guarantee the speed of shipbuilding. The snowflakes of orders could overwhelm their industrial system."

"Of course, I must be sure that the industrial system of Red Star Factory is very large, and it is not wishful thinking to get involved in this development, but..."

Andre pursed his lips and asked, "Do you know how much pressure Geely Star put on when it came to cooperate in the mainland and brought in production equipment and technology?"

"Understood, I understand your current situation and pressure very well." Li Xuewu nodded: "But we have a saying that is very good, ugly imperialism is a paper tiger, it will be broken when you poke it."

He raised his finger to indicate and said: "You want to register the ship we built in the port city and then sell it. In fact, you are just hiding your ears. I believe they will definitely know."

"But, so what?"

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "Can they destroy our shipyard, or can they bully you and prevent you from selling ships to wealthy businessmen in Southeast Asia?"

Andrew was so sad when he said this. Chou Country couldn't destroy the Yingcheng Shipyard, but those dogs could really threaten him not to sell the ship.

When he thought about the crises he would have to endure in the future, he really began to consider the business of distributing medium and large cargo ships.

Seeing that Lao Deng had taken the bait, Li Xuewu said without changing his expression: "You don't have to worry too much. I don't think Lao Chou has any means to punish you."

The more he said this, the less at ease Andrew felt. Of course he had confidence in his arrangements in the port city and in these ships.

It doesn't matter if it's made in the mainland, as long as his relationship is guaranteed, he can definitely sell it.

But I am afraid that the policy will change in three to five years, or his relationship will change.

When he didn't invest in the mainland shipyard, he didn't think that now that production was about to start, Li Xuewu really made him hesitate.

What businessmen pay most attention to is not how much they can make from one order, but how many orders they can make and how long they can earn. The first thing they focus on is definitely the company's ability to resist risks and how strong it is, and then other things.

"Mr. Li, please tell me more about your factory's layout and development direction on container ships."

——

"What? I heard that Yi Shang came to report the situation? I didn't bother you, did I?"

During lunch time, Cheng Kaiyuan asked with a smile when he met Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu's eyebrows twitched, and he rolled his eyes and said: "It's not bad, I just asked about the status of the new shipyard project."

Handing the lunch box to Shazhu, he said casually: "Huh? Didn't he go to find you?"

At the moment when Cheng Kaiyuan was stunned, he turned around and raised his eyebrows and said: "He heard about Shengtaya's investment cooperation intention and also wants to expand the cargo ship business. I asked him to contact you."

"Haha - you are making trouble again." Cheng Kaiyuan was not stupid. Of course he reacted and said with a smile: "If I really want to expand my business, I should come to you. How could you come to me?"

"Look what you said, you are the leader in charge. If you don't talk to anyone, I don't have the authority to deal with it. I'm not joking about this matter."

Li Xuewu smiled when he spoke, but his tone was not playful. Cheng Kaiyuan was confused and a little suspicious.

Silly Zhu, who was cooking, curled his lips, knowing that this kid was starting to throw sand again, and he might be trying to figure out who would be tricked by him.

You look at him and smile. In fact, what he said may not be relevant. When you think about it again, he has already dug a hole for you.

"You should go back and make preparations. Even if you want to start business, you still need to prove it."

Li Xuewu reminded: "You must be prepared. I also said that if he went directly to your place, I would save the phone calls."

"No, you didn't come to my place." Cheng Kaiyuan called Li Xuewu upstairs and said, "Come, tell me the specific situation."

"Okay, no problem." Li Xuewu cooperated and told him Andrew's thoughts and wishes, including plans to further invest in the cargo ship business in Yingcheng and the agency plan for cargo ship distribution.

There was nothing wrong with what Li Xuewu said, but he just hid his part of the story and did not tell Cheng Kaiyuan.

This has nothing to do with the overall project. Andrew will not mention how he came up with this idea. Even if he did, it doesn't matter. Many people in his meetings with Italian businessmen know about it.

The question is not how Andrew came up with the idea of ​​starting a cargo ship business, or how he wants to do it, or what his ideas are, but who will lead the project.

As his position progressed, Li Xuewu naturally couldn't be straightforward when reorganizing the layout. He had to play high-ranking positions to compete with the leaders in the factory.

How can an old man who has been in high and low officialdom for many years be fooled by a young man like you who is just starting out? Isn’t that a joke?

Well, Andrew thought so when he first entered Li Xuewu's office, but he was confused when he left.

No old man could leave Li Xuewu's office soberly and with a bargain.

Even if he felt that he had taken away a bargain, it was because Li Xuewu deliberately made him feel that the bargain in his hands was a bargain.

Now you see Cheng Kaiyuan actively asking about the specific situation of the project, but in fact he is always on guard against Li Xuewu.

How many people has this kid tricked and how many people have he dealt with? Naturally, he is mentally prepared.

But you have to do your business, right? The business is right in front of you, but you just turn a blind eye because Li Xuewu is handling it?

That's impossible. You can't die if you're stunned. You have to have your own rhythm and method.

He took the initiative to greet Li Xuewu just now with the purpose of exploring this matter. Projects related to the shipyard were really within his authority.

Everyone knows that foreign businessmen are involved, and the work results are real. As long as there are trade orders, production value will definitely be created.

The reason why Li Xuewu's status in the Red Star Factory is getting higher and more stable is because he has placed large orders for the Red Star Factory.

Planned production tasks can earn 1 point per unit, joint trade can earn 1 cent, and foreign trade can earn 1 yuan. Counting compensation trade, when these are coordinated, a single unit can earn 2 yuan or even 5 yuan.

What is the effect?

Li Xuewu sits in the position of deputy director of the Commission Office, and does the work of the executive deputy director.

Some of Cheng Kaiyuan's rights were transferred to Li Xuewu by Li Huaide, so he could not support himself in the factory and was always scolded by Old Li.

But now the opportunity has come, and the external situation has quietly changed. Red Star Factory has ushered in new development opportunities and has the need to unite as one.

This rapidly developing situation can not only cover up the many problems currently existing in the factory, but also cover up the careful calculations among the leaders.

Taking this opportunity, after Cheng Kaiyuan experienced the last incident, he made a compromise with Li Huaide and gained some support.

In order to balance the power within the management committee, Li Huaide must pull Cheng Kaiyuan away and suppress Jing Yunong, who is gradually rising.

So what we can see is that Jing Yunong, as the leader, actually moved to another office.

Of course, this is normal business work, but after being away for more than a month, do you think Li Huaide's arrangement is normal?

Of course Jing Yunong felt that something was wrong, so she was worried and took the initiative to find Li Xuewu.

What to do?

A positive response is needed to the layout proposed by Li Xuewu.

It cannot be said that we are completely on whose side, Li Xuewu is the deputy director, Dong Wenxu is still struggling in the steel mill, and Gu Weijie is also wise enough to protect herself.

The most obvious shortcoming and most obvious advantage of this series now is that it has no top advantage.

Dong Wenxue is the youngest and most representative, but his character is soft, which Li Huaide admires very much, which also contributes to the softness of this series.

Even with Li Xuewu's hard core, he is still too young and needs time to train.

Jing Yunong's attitude was also conservative and cautious.

She will never bet herself on the card table again. How can the person who plays cards be the bet? She should play the cards.

So Li Xuewu wanted to counter Li Huaide, and Jing Yunong had already made his choice and response.

In this way, she would not become deaf or blinded after being outside for more than a month and lose her foundation in the factory.

In turn, Li Xuewu continued to coordinate her work in the factory and stabilize the business she had negotiated on the front line, which could increase her influence.

Otherwise, everyone always says that there are not enough people at the top to do business, and there must be people at the bottom.

Li Xuewu wanted to restrain Li Huaide, so he couldn't force him. He contacted Gu Weijie, Jing Yunong, Xue Zhifu and others to force him to do something.

It felt like when Li Huaide was supporting Cheng Kaiyuan to restrict Jing Yunong, he wanted to push him.

Li Huaide was pulling on top, and Li Xuewu was about to push up, and he was pushing harder than Li Huaide was pulling him up. He was pushing to move up in a hurry, so that he could move in a hurry and threaten Lao Li's position.

So you can see that Li Xuewu did all good things, helping Deputy Director Jing Yunong solve problems, helping Deputy Director Cheng Kaiyuan expand territory, and helping Deputy Director Gu Weijie stabilize the rear.

He even had to help Li Huaide plan and strategize to win the battle thousands of miles away.

Who would suspect such a good person that he has bad intentions, ulterior motives, and ulterior motives?

Cheng Kaiyuan, who was eating on the second floor, listened more and more clearly, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.

Listening clearly means that the business is clear. Li Xuewu's explanation was very good and clear. He explained all the issues clearly and he just did it.

I am confused because I am confused in thinking. Why does Li Xuewu speak so well? Who wouldn't be responsible for such a result?

When you hear what he says about not having authority, it's all nonsense. How can those projects be negotiated without authority?

Of course Cheng Kaiyuan thought that Li Xuewu had another purpose, but what was his purpose?

Help yourself harvest project results, and then watch yourself progress and push yourself to death?

It's ridiculous. Even if he threatens Li Huaide, how can he be suspected by the powerful Li Huaide based on his position in the Red Star Factory? The other deputy directors will not be inclined to him.

Hey! This is what he thought, not what Li Xuewu thought. Who said that there is no deputy director who favors him? Li Xuewu is helping him find one!

It doesn't work if you think you are not dangerous. Li Xuewu wants to make you dangerous, and all the influences added to you are within his calculations.

Jing Yunong certainly can't jump to support him, and Gu Weijie is even more impossible. That was agreed by Li Xuewu and Dong Wenxue. Old Li will support her to carry the banner in the future.

Dong Wenxue is not influential enough in Gangcheng, and it is out of reach, so the candidate for this support force has surfaced.

——

May 7, Wednesday.

Li Huaide went to the First Ministry of Machine Building to attend a meeting to coordinate the ecological industrial zone.

The city has already issued the approval procedures, but here we have to coordinate with the First Ministry of Machine Building to agree to the expansion of the Red Star Factory and pass the construction of the demonstration zone.

It's not that difficult, but today it happened that he was called away by Du, the leader of the First Ministry of Machine Building, and the leader of the Second Automobile Works was scheduled to come to negotiate.

Li Huaide was not at home, and Cheng Kaiyuan and Gu Weijie were also busy and not at home.

Li Xuewu told Cheng Kaiyuan about the Geely Star Shipyard, and he started investigating.

Before Andrew could coordinate with the Red Star Factory, he took the initiative to contact the other party through the Yingcheng Shipyard.

Andrew was also very happy to invite him to go to Yingcheng to see the site and talk about it later.

So Cheng Kaiyuan led a team to Yingcheng Shipyard for research yesterday afternoon.

Gu Weijie was not on a business trip, but she was busy with personnel investigation and coordination, and had to deal with the procedures for the merger of 16 companies.

Together with the employee welfare and other work she was responsible for, she really couldn't get away.

So the reception and negotiation work fell on Xue Zhifu, who presided over the negotiations, Li Xuewu cooperated, and Li Huaide arranged it.

At the door of the guesthouse, the car of Second Automobile had not arrived yet, and Li Xuewu and Xue Zhifu were standing in front of the flower bed talking.

The water of Tuanjie Lake ripples, fish swim in the lake, and water ripples push toward the shore from time to time.

"Lang Zhennan told me that you want to put up a sign opposite the factory?" Xue Zhifu looked up at the garden in the summer and raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Be different and get results immediately."

Li Xuewu tilted his head and said, "Mr. Z can't come here for nothing. He has to leave something behind, which can also be regarded as encouraging our factory workers."

"You are really bold and reckless, and you are not afraid of anything going wrong." Xue Zhifu knew what Li Xuewu was going to do. Painting the scene of Mr. Z guiding the work would be effective immediately.

With the approval of the city and the affirmation and expectations of Mr. Z, the ecological industrial zone will surely have a smooth road in the future.

At the same time, it also reminds the employees of the Red Star Factory to redouble their efforts and move forward and strive in the direction that Mr. Z hopes for.

If the employees of the Red Star Factory can be reminded, then others can be reminded even more.

Li Xuewu's move was really great. It not only embodied the influence of the master, but also promoted the goal of Red Star Factory.

It was a weather vane. As long as the brand did not fall, Red Star Factory would never be questioned.

Xue Zhifu shook his head and laughed at him for being cunning, but secretly admired him in his heart. While lamenting that young people had many ideas and broad thinking, he was also thinking that he could not refuse to admit that he was old.

"The bolder the people, the more productive the land. Now the sun is shining, the weather is good, and everyone wants to contribute more to the factory."

Li Xuewu teased him with a hint of meaning, and then raised his chin and said: "Look at Deputy Director Jing who traveled thousands of miles to the mountains and rivers to witness the vigorous development of United Trade."

"Look at Deputy Director Gu, who works day and night to lay the foundation for the future of Red Star Factory, coordinate personnel changes, and promote business development."

"Deputy Director Cheng, while taking into account production management, you must also expand new production space. This trip to Yingcheng will definitely be a full return."

"Hiss--" Xue Zhifu listened to him talking a lot like a machine gun, but there was no mention of his achievements and contributions.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "So according to you, I am the laziest, least ambitious, and unwilling to make contributions in the team, right?"

"Please don't say that. I don't have the identity and qualifications to say that to you~"

Li Xuewu also followed his lead and joked, "You are sitting on the Diaoyutai, you are very smart and you understand people's hearts best. You know that without me telling you."

He raised his eyebrows and complimented softly, "If you want to talk about sacrifice, I know what you have paid. If you want to talk about contribution, Then I understand you even more. Who has made greater contributions than you!"

"Oh - I don't deserve it!"

Xue Zhifu chuckled and glanced at him and said, "You are so hot and cold. If I listen to you bragging too much, I will catch a cold."

He pointed at the fish swimming in the lake and said, "If you ask me, you are the most powerful person in our factory. Look, the fish come to listen to you."

"Really? Do I have this ability?"

Li Xuewu looked down at the lake and shook his head with a smile. This thing swims everywhere.

"If I can really persuade the fish, I will let them go to the workshop to work and contribute to our factory, so that they don't have to eat and drink here."

"Hey - Comrade Li Xuewu, who do you think is eating and drinking here!"

Xue Zhifu laughed angrily, patted him on the shoulder and said, "So I am so useless in your eyes that I have to listen to your command?"

Li Xuewu's words have some meaning, and his words have some meaning. The two of them joked and said that the matter was settled, and the rest was a fuss.

Qin Huairu came over with a large bowl and said with a smile: "Just washed strawberries, please have a taste, we grow them ourselves."

"From the backyard?" Li Xuewu glanced at the red fruits with some green in the bowl and asked: "Will Xiao Jin be willing to give them to us?"

"Look at what you are talking about, what kind of treasure is this?" Qin Huairu said with a smile: "It's not just one crop of fruit, it's a matter of eating it early or late."

"Then try it, this is the first time I eat this stuff this year."

Li Xuewu pinched one and put it in his mouth, then frowned and said: "Sour, sweet, oh, delicious-"

"Hehe-"

Seeing him like this, Xue Zhifu also smiled and pinched one to taste it, then waved his hand to Qin Huairu and said: "I can't eat it anymore, it's too sweet, share it with the comrades."

Eating is a meaning, both of them are of status, they can't hold on to the delicious food like children.

This strawberry was planted by waiter Xiao Jin in the backyard after the guesthouse was renovated last year. I didn't expect it to bear fruit this year.

It's sour and sweet, very delicious. It's not like the big fruit cultivated in later generations, it's the size of a thumb, but the strawberry fragrance is very strong.

Li Xuewu also nodded to Qin Huairu and told her to arrange the lunch reception. As for the strawberry, he didn't eat it anymore.

It's not that he dislikes the sour and sweet taste of this thing, but he knows that the girls are so fond of it. Who knows how much they are looking forward to eating it, so he asked them to taste it first.

How can a leader be so uncultured, snatching snacks from a girl, just eat one, just for the sake of showing it, and have the fun of sharing.

Li Xuewu is called a leader, but in fact he doesn't have much status. He can't do such a wicked thing as asking his subordinates to buy breakfast and water for him.

Qin Huairu responded to Li Xuewu's instructions and arrangements, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she turned around and waved in the direction of the hall.

Before Li Xuewu and the other man could react, the waitress Xiao Jin came over awkwardly. Seeing the leader looking at her, she bowed her head and greeted him.

"What are you doing? An ambush, right?"

"Since the leader ate our Xiao Jin's strawberries, it's not too much for us to ask the leader for a favor."

Qin Huairu smiled and took Xiao Jin's hand and explained: "Xiao Jin's family introduced a partner. They are well-matched and the two of them look suitable for each other. They are preparing to get married."

"Well, isn't this a good thing?"

Li Xuewu looked at Xiao Jin. He was tall and worked here in a respectable and affordable way. Of course, he wouldn't have trouble finding a partner, so why would he worry about getting married?

"It's a good thing, but good things come hard, right?" Qin Huairu said helplessly: "Her father used to be a translator, not that kind of thing, but he was the kind of person who made contributions, but... "

She said with some embarrassment: "There was a problem when the street checked her birth, and her father's situation could not be confirmed, and they would not handle the procedures."

"What's her father's situation? Which translator?" Li Xuewu frowned slightly and glanced at Xiao Jin. The girl stood there with her head down, feeling very embarrassed.

Xue Zhifu did not speak, so it was natural for Li Xuewu to ask at this time.

He was the factory leader. Once he spoke, if the situation was special, it would not be appropriate to move forward or backward, so he did not speak.

Qin Huairu was not a person without sense of propriety. If it was really bad, she would never lead people to Li Xuewu.

"In fact, they are just ordinary people. It was hard to make a living in those days. How many people who can be translators are bad people."

Hearing that Xiao Jin was about to cry, she quickly said: "When the steel mill was taken over, her father was in the class and was an employee of the factory."

"But, work follows management, and there was a little kid at that time."

"Haven't you investigated it before?" Li Xuewu looked at Xiao Jin and asked: "Didn't your father explain his personal problems clearly before? How come you only know that there is a problem with your identity now?"

"I have checked it, and I don't know how many times the file has been supplemented." Xiao Jin wiped her tears and said: "But It's the street that doesn't recognize him..."

"Don't cry, what's the use of crying? If there is a problem, just solve it. Even if your father has a problem, what does it have to do with you? Why don't you let people get married?"

Li Xuewu said to her, and then asked Qin Huairu: "Have you investigated the situation clearly? What does our factory personnel say?"

"I went to the personnel department, and Xiao Jin's review is fine." Qin Huairu explained: "His father also passed the review at the beginning, otherwise Xiao Jin couldn't be arranged to take over."

"Then let the personnel department issue a certificate." Li Xuewu waved to Peng Xiaoli, took the notebook from him, wrote a note, and handed it to Xiao Jin.

"Go to the personnel department first to get a material certificate, and I'll ask the security department to issue you an identity verification certificate. Take these two first."

Li Xuewu nodded to Peng Xiaoli, signaling him to write it down and make arrangements. At the same time, he told Xiao Jin: "If these two certificates don't work, come to me again and I'll take you to the city to get it."

He looked at Xue Zhifu helplessly and said: "The old saying is that it's better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. Now some people are just messing around."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Li, thank you, leader"

Xiao Jin got Li Xuewu's note, then burst into tears and laughed, bowed and thanked him.

Xue Zhifu nodded and said: "Understand that the street may have limited capabilities and the investigation is not comprehensive. Getting married is a good thing and no one will stop you. Don't cry, this is not solved."

He pointed at Li Xuewu and said with a smile: "Deputy Director Li said that he can definitely do it. Tell your street that if he doesn't approve it, then it means that their leaders have approved it for you, and he will be criticized."

"Thank you, leaders." Xiao Jin wiped her tears and nodded with a smile. She was simple and honest, and even offered strawberries to the two leaders, but was rejected by Li Xuewu and the others with a smile.

After Qin Huairu took her away, Xue Zhifu shook his head helplessly, holding back the words in his mouth and didn't say them out.

Xiao Jin was lucky. She knew that if she had something to ask for help, Li Xuewu's note solved her lifelong event.

But not everyone can get Li Xuewu's note, and not everyone can get Li Xuewu's guarantee.

The phrase "lovers will eventually become a couple" is often heard at the end of the play, but not all lovers can become a couple.
