Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Director Xia, look at this..."

Kong Xiaobo knew that members of his team had committed a taboo in foreign affairs work.

Fortunately, we were not accompanied by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Even so, he broke into a cold sweat because his career was almost over.

Putting aside everything else, he has no control over what punishment Zhu Lei receives, but he must assume management responsibilities.

Moreover, it is a very serious and serious joint management responsibility, and you may end up screwing screws for the rest of your life.

There is no small matter in foreign affairs, and I am not saying this randomly.

Standing in front of the guest house, he looked at Xia Zhongquan with an embarrassed expression and sent out a distress signal.

Xia Zhongquan was also in a dilemma. These days, under the arrangement of Li Xuewu, he had many contacts with Director Kong from Bingfei. After getting along with him, he felt that he was a pretty good person.

Just think about how simple and kind Li Xuewu must be to be tricked with his eyes closed.

It's just that what they did today was a bit too much.

"Director Kong, let me ask you a honest question. If you can answer it, just answer it. If you can't answer it, it doesn't matter."

He pulled Kong Xiaobo to one side and asked softly: "This Zhu Lei, who is...?"

Xia Zhongquan is a good old man, and he is polite when he talks.

Even though this incident was very annoying today and almost caused the investigation team and project team to become corrupted.

But I still kept the key questions vague when asking questions to save face for the other party.

Just like what he said, if you can answer, just answer. If you can't, just pretend he didn't say anything.

Lao Xia has been with Li Xuewu for a long time, and he has learned a lot.

As the old saying goes, it's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to learn bad things.

Lao Xia had been wandering around with Li Xuewuke for a long time, and he had been contaminated for a long time.

At this moment, Kong Xiaobo understood the meaning of his words, frowned, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There is nothing that cannot be said."

He explained: "Zhu Lei's father works in Bingcheng Three Machinery Bureau, and his mother works in the Women's Federation."

The first and third machines have departments above and branches below to manage the industry.

After Xia Zhongquan heard it clearly, he felt confident.

He tapped Kong Xiaobo's arm lightly with his finger and reminded in a very hesitant tone: "If you still want to be responsible for this project, call his parents and come here to explain the matter clearly before going back."

"This... Director Xia" Kong Xiaobo opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "Is this necessary?"

Zhu Lei's father is considered the management department of Bingfei, their superior unit.

Now that he, the project director, is asking the other party to come to the capital to pick someone up, does he still have to give an explanation?

"Our Deputy Director Li..."

Xia Zhongquan hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of the project, he still said: "The status is a bit special."

"I don't know what you are planning. I just give you a suggestion." He patted Kong Xiaobo's arm and said, "Explain the matter clearly before you go back. It is necessary for the project, for you, for him and his parents." ,otherwise……"

Just as Kong Xiaobo frowned and other 701 team management stood watching not far away, he said seriously: "You are finished."

Kong Xiaobo's head buzzed, and he knew very clearly whether the other party's words meant a threat.

To put it bluntly, Xia Zhongquan is the technical leader of Red Star Factory, what threat can he pose.

I can say these words entirely for the sake of the project. Don't mess things up because of the people in 701.

Once something unexpected happens, 701 is destroyed, Bingfei's face is not good-looking, and Red Star Factory is also embarrassed.

Sha Qizhi hurriedly walked in from outside and saw the two of them standing here, so he came here.

"Director Xia, the leader wants you to come over."

He reminded Xia Zhongquan, then looked at Kong Xiaobo and said with a serious face: "Director Kong, I have received a notice from the Security Office of the Security Department. Due to work needs, Zhu Lei from the 701 team has been summoned to cooperate with the investigation."

Coming——

Kong Xiaobo's face turned pale, knowing that Li Xuewu's words were really not a joke.

After only a short delay, Zhu Lei was not allowed to leave, and orders were already issued over there.

He can't even think about solving this matter now, and Li Xuewu is already murderous.

"Director Xia, don't leave yet!"

He grabbed Xia Zhongquan, looked at Sha Qizhi who was no longer as polite as in the past receptions, and said, "Can we handle this matter ourselves?"

"I'm afraid it won't work, Director Kong."

Sha Qizhi said with a serious face: "The cooperative relationship between our factory and foreign businessmen cannot be stained."

"I believe you have also felt that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has even given a high degree of autonomy."

During foreign affairs activities, whether commercial or otherwise, you must be accompanied by an officer from the Foreign Affairs Department.

There is indeed no one here at the Red Star Factory today, only on-board guards are there.

This can very well support what Sha Qizhi said, 701 is indeed in trouble.

"Our leaders are very angry and have called the Foreign Affairs Department, the Confidentiality Department and the Investigation Department to intervene."

Sha Qizhi looked at Kong Xiaobo and explained: "We must investigate clearly whether Zhu Lei has..."

"I see--"

Kong Xiaobo's heart skipped a beat when he heard Li Xuewu call three departments.

Behind this project is not as simple as he thought.

In other words, the Red Star Factory is not as simple as he saw, and there must be higher attention.

Anyone who dares to sabotage the Red Star Factory's projects is hindering the development of the Red Star Factory and will inevitably be retaliated and held accountable by the Red Star Factory.

Now, he had to make this call even if he didn't, otherwise the three departments would jointly conduct an investigation and go to Zhu Lei's house to investigate, which would be even more troublesome.

Just like Xia Zhongquan reminded, take the initiative to come to the capital to explain clearly and then take the person back.

As for what punishment Zhu Lei will bear after returning, that is Bing Fei's business.

Red Star Factory has not sent a letter to Bingfei now because the matter has not been investigated clearly.

After finding out, wait for someone from Bing Fei to apologize, otherwise everyone in 701 will have to get out.

Are you here to work, or are you here to cause trouble?

Li Xuewu did not curse on the spot and was very patient. The more he thought about it after he returned, the more he felt something was wrong.

This matter cannot be handled privately, otherwise there will be endless consequences, both for the project and the Red Star Factory.

So after reporting to Li Huaide, he took the initiative to open the matter.

Please ask the Foreign Affairs Department, the Secrecy Department and the Investigation Department to intervene and conduct a third-party investigation so that no one is wronged.

Whether it's Zhu Lei's family or someone from the Three Machinery Department coming then, you can figure it out for yourself.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!"

As they were talking here, the security officer who came with Shaqi had already entered the guest house and brought the people out.

Zhu Lei was restrained by two people, with clothes covering his head and shouting.

When he was leaving the house, the security officer frowned when he saw Director Sha, and punched him as he walked down the steps.

Come on, with a scholar-like body, Zhu Lei couldn't bear it, and his mouth immediately closed.

"Sorry, I have work to do."

Sha Qizhi didn't care about the attitude of Kong Xiaobo and the other 701 team at all. He watched people get on the bus and left.

Xia Zhongquan sighed. He wanted to help the other party to get over this matter.

I just didn't expect that things would develop to this situation. I can only say that Li Xuewu had other plans.

"Director Xia——"

Just when Xia Zhongquan got in the car and was about to leave, a lesbian ran out of the building.

"Shangguan Qi? You——!"

Shangguan Qi was running out of breath. When he saw that Zhu Lei was no longer at the door, he grabbed Xia Zhongquan's car door as if it was the last straw.

She ignored the leader's soft drink and said to Xia Zhongquan with pleading eyes: "I want to see Deputy Director Li."

"Comrade Shangguanqi!" Deputy Director Bai Guangming reminded her loudly: "What do you want to do!"

"Please, let me see Deputy Director Li!"

Shangguan Qi begged: "Zhu Lei is like that because of me, please help me——"

There was a sound of crying in her words, and she wouldn't let go of the car door.

Kong Xiaobo and others had guessed something, but they had not yet had time to verify it.

Now that Shangguan Qi said this, they all fell silent.

Go to Li Xuewu and explain it clearly. Kong Xiaobo also wants to do this.

He even wanted to take responsibility and suppress this matter.

But Li Xuewu's angry performance when he left, and what happened next, left him without the courage.

Yes, the impact of this emergency incident was beyond his ability to bear.

He also has a family and a career, but it's not worth it just because of Zhu Lei's love and hatred.

Therefore, they would rather not know and wait for Zhu Lei to say it himself or Shangguan Qi to say it on his own initiative.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Li Xuewu had already arranged for someone to take Zhu Lei away.

Shangguanqi didn't have time to be honest with them, so she asked to see Li Xuewu.

In fact, in Kong Xiaobo's opinion, this is a way to control the impact within the range of emotions.

Zhu Lei may be severely punished because of his emotional troubles and reckless behavior, but he will not have anything to do with..., that is a red line after all.

Even if they manage it improperly and make mistakes in foreign affairs communication, it will not be that serious.

Now when it comes to whether it is serious or not, it is not up to them to set the standard, it depends on what Li Xuewu wants.

So Shangguan Qi wanted to explain that it would be best if he could get Li Xuewu's approval.

At least there is no need for a joint investigation by three departments, and no mouse droppings can spoil the whole pot of soup.

Project 701 cannot be disbanded like this, and they cannot just go home.

Otherwise, as Xia Zhongquan said, they would be dead.

Can engineers who can't be trusted still participate in Bingfei's business?

Which industries in these days do not involve confidentiality, and which unit dares to ask for them?

Going to the workshop to tighten screws all your life is the best ending.

Therefore, including Kong Xiaobo, all the 701 team members who came out looked at Xia Zhongquan.

"well--"

What else could Xia Zhongquan say? Looking at Shangguan Qi who was crying like a man in tears, he let go of the car door.

He gave way and allowed the other party to get in the car.

Watching Xia Zhongquan's car leave, the 701 team breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s just that my heart hasn’t let go yet.

——

“According to the current industrial layout, it doesn’t matter where the machining factory is.”

Kuang Yusheng, wearing thick glasses, stood in front of the generous table and gave Li Xuewu instructions on his arrangements.

"My personal opinion is more inclined to place it in Fengcheng, even if we don't have any relationship there."

He clicked on several important units marked on the map and explained: "Our machining needs cannot meet future industrial production capacity."

"The machining factory must ultimately serve the Northeastern industry and the national industry."

Kuang Yusheng raised his head and looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Is this what the arrangement of the industrial supply chain means?"

"Yeah, go on--"

Li Xuewu looked back and saw Xia Zhongquan and his men coming in, but he ignored them.

Xia Zhongquan glanced at Shangguan Qi who followed him in and nodded, signaling her to be patient.

He moved closer and listened to Kuang Yusheng's report.

"It doesn't matter if there is no industrial relationship. We can establish new industrial relationships based on Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory and form a chain industrial base."

Kuang Yusheng stroked the railway line from Gangcheng to Fengcheng and explained: "In terms of industrial transportation capacity, I think we can be completely assured, at least in Liaodong."

He tapped the map and emphasized: "I think we can't stay in Gangcheng. Resource saturation and industrial saturation are not good for us."

"Moreover, the new machine processing plant itself was born out of Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory."

Kuang Yusheng supported the map with both hands and looked at Li Xuewu. Wu said: "Although it is a new construction, the relocation of workers and machinery and equipment is also costly."

"At present, we are considering the future market, construction costs and management costs."

He pointed to the location of the First Machine Factory and suggested: "It is safest to expand on the original site."

"Old Xia, what do you think?"

"Me?"

Xia Zhongquan smiled when he saw Kuang Yusheng asking for his opinion, looked at Li Xuewu and said: "The land in Fengcheng must be much cheaper than the land in Beijing, right?"

"Hehehe——"

Li Xuewu understood what he meant, chuckled and didn't nod or shake his head.

He took the teacup handed over by Peng Xiaoli and took a sip, then asked, "How is the progress of Deputy Director Jing? I heard that it was almost done last week, right?"

"It's still being discussed. Liaodong Industry is very active, but the First Machine Factory has concerns."

Kuang Yusheng stood up straight and followed Li Xuewu to the sofa, introducing, "It may be that our splitting and resettlement policy has caused the other party's opinions."

"It's the factory that is being split, not the workers. What are their concerns?"

Li Xuewu put down the teacup and sat on the sofa. He glanced at Shangguan Qi who was standing at the door, motioned to the sofa opposite for her to sit, but ignored her.

Shangguan Qi was very calm. At Peng Xiaoli's signal, she came over and sat down, thanking him for the tea he brought her.

Seeing that Li Xuewu and the others were talking about work, although he was anxious, he still held back.

"The First Machine Factory is plagued by diseases. It is not a day's cold. Can we cure it without strong medicine?"

Li Xuewu folded his right leg and looked at Kuang Yusheng and said, "Let's talk about the principle of breaking down and then building up."

"The latest order from the French business is still waiting for production. Send a message to Deputy Director Jing and ask if the First Machine Factory still wants to continue the discussion. If not, forget it."

"I understand, leader, I will contact the Fengcheng project team now."

Li Xuewu said the latter sentence not to Kuang Yusheng, but to Peng Xiaoli.

Kuang Yusheng was in charge of the research work of the tertiary industry and the joint industry, and naturally participated in the industrial resettlement work, including the construction planning of the new steel rolling mill.

"Don't worry about these factors on the negotiation table. They have no choice."

Li Xuewu confidently tapped the armrest of the sofa and told Kuang Yusheng, "Just follow your opinion and make a plan for the machining industry."

"Okay, I'll come down to arrange it."

Kuang Yusheng was naturally happy to see that Li Xuewu adopted his opinion.

But then he thought of Gangcheng, and asked tentatively: "Director Dong and Gangcheng Industry..."

"Put the aircraft manufacturing plant in Gangcheng."

Li Xuewu took a sip of the teacup and said: "Everything should be aimed at development. The opinions of the local government should be listened to and considered seriously, but the implementation of the project should be based on independent thinking."

"But you should also pay attention to this matter at any time." He put the teacup on the armrest, nodded to Kuang Yusheng and reminded: "Speak to Deputy Director Jing about the plan, and don't withdraw the original plan."

"I understand what you mean-"

Kuang Yusheng nodded with a smile, knowing that this is a hook to catch two fish.

Red Star Factory has a large layout in Gangcheng Industry, but it also covets the core position of Fengcheng Industry.

Now the acquisition project of the First Machine Factory has not yet been settled, and everything should be cautious and conservative.

When the machining separation policy of the last machine factory is implemented, there is room for maneuver, whether it is to change the current thinking or to build a new factory in Gangcheng.

Even if the factory is built in Fengcheng, Gangcheng Industry will be unhappy because it was temporarily ignored, but there is still an aircraft manufacturing plant.

Besides, Li Xuewu's words are very straightforward. It is clear that the decision on where to invest is still made by the Red Star Factory.

At least the meat is rotten in the pot, and Liaodong Industry doesn't care. What can they say?

Machining enterprises are different from the electronics industry. The electronics industry produces complete products.

And industrialized and standardized machining enterprises are just supporting enterprises serving heavy industry.

In the future, Fengcheng will be the core and spread to the surrounding areas to achieve the effect of parts supply.

"If we can achieve the set goals, I think we will have a lot to do in Fengcheng in the future."

Xia Zhongquan smiled and raised his head, saying: "At that time, the Beijing plant will be responsible for education, research and development, management and incubation of industries;"

"Tianjin plant will be responsible for trade and logistics;"

"Gangcheng and Yingcheng plant will be responsible for professional production;"

"Fengcheng plant will be built into a parts industry base."

He imagined the future and became a little excited, and even the bad mood at the symposium just now was reduced a lot.

But Shangguan Qi, who was sitting aside, was not only shocked but also deeply envious when she heard that Red Star Factory had inadvertently revealed the tip of the iceberg.

It would be great if Bingfei could also seek development in a down-to-earth manner, and if middle- and high-level factory cadres could be as dedicated to their work as the three in front of them.

It's a pity that things will not change according to her preferences, and they are even getting worse.

What she encountered was the most essential gap between Bingfei and Red Star Factory.

No wonder the deputy director of the Red Star Factory dared to get angry at Director Kong who came to cooperate.

She does have this strength and confidence, but sitting here and listening, she no longer has the energy and courage that she had when she first arrived.

"Okay, that's it-"

After Kuang Yusheng made his work ideas clear, he stood up and said goodbye to Li Xuewu.

"I'll go over and report to Deputy Director Cheng first. When the plan for Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory is finalized, I'll arrange for someone to deliver it."

He glanced at the female engineer from the 701 team and Xia Zhongquan, who was sitting there motionless.

Knowing that Li Xuewu still had work, he waved his hand and went out without disturbing him.

——

Li Xuewu sent Kuang Yusheng back. Xia Zhongquan was still sitting, but Shangguan Qi stood up.

Li Xuewu just waved his hand for her to sit down. It was not because he didn't recognize her.

On the contrary, at the symposium just now, the kid who caused the trouble was staring at her.

He had already made a pretty good guess in his mind, but he didn't pay attention to these nonsense things.

The person named Zhu Lei dared to make a fuss about this project in front of foreign businessmen, which shows that he had premeditated it, and even the 701 management team lacked a sense of responsibility.

Do you still want to go to Japan in this state?

If you start trouble there, your face will be lost abroad.

Therefore, if you want to be embarrassed, you don't have to go out to the outside world, just stay at home.

Don't you want to be a monster? Then I'll give you a chance now. Do it well. If you don't do it, you'll be considered a tough one.

"This is Engineer Shangguanqi from the 701 project team."

The person was brought by Xia Zhongquan, so he naturally wanted to introduce him: "This is our Deputy Director Li, the person you want to see."

"Hello, Deputy Director Li, I'll come..."

After Shangguan Qi finished Xia Zhongquan's introduction, he took a deep breath and began to explain.

But just as she opened her mouth, Li Xuewu waved his hand and motioned for her to sit down.

"Sit down and speak slowly if you have something to say."

Xia Zhongquan saw Shangguanqi's eyes full of panic when she was blocked, and couldn't bear it, so he helped her.

After signaling her like this, he looked at Li Xuewu and explained: "She said she was Zhu Lei's partner. He held my car door and insisted on coming to see you."

"I'm sorry, Director Xia."

Shangguan Qi also knew that Director Xia was doing it for her own good, and he was paving the way for her.

"There are procedures and rules for how to handle this matter."

However, Xia Zhongquan waved his hand and told her: "I didn't bring you here to make you unreasonable. I've thought about how to say it, and it's not too late to say it slowly."

He turned his head, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "The people on the right and left are under control, and I believe the security department is also following the procedures."

"Um--"

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said to Xia Zhongquan: "I thought about it for a moment, and this matter really sounded a wake-up call for us."

"The team is temporarily formed. If you just pull it out, it will have no combat effectiveness at all, and it will easily cause trouble."

He put down the tea cup and said: "Push back the departure date of the inspection team by half a month, and drag the people to the mountains to study."

"Also, let me check the key point. Among the people who are going to participate in the inspection this time, if there are any close relationships, they will be deleted."

"I completely agree with you. I'll make arrangements when we get down."

Xia Zhongquan also knows that the impact of today's incident is very bad. There is a problem with 701, but it does not mean that there is no problem at the Red Star Factory.

"I will arrange for people to screen again and investigate the files and backgrounds of relevant personnel."

"Well, you can-"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "On this issue, you can never be too careful."

"I'm sorry, Deputy Director Li——"

After hearing this, Shangguan Qi didn't know that Red Star Factory already had objections to them.

Especially when he showed no reservations or courtesy in front of her, it was a complete slap in the face.

Listening to the work arrangements just now, Li Xuewu did not mention the 701 team at all.

This probably means that if we don't take them to form a team, then what's the point of them coming to the capital.

Therefore, she couldn't help but took the initiative to explain: "It's my responsibility."

"That's not what I want to hear."

Li Xuewu directly interrupted her explanation, frowned and said: "You can either explain Zhu Lei's motivations for his behavior, or you can tell me how to handle this matter on behalf of the 701 project."

"I cannot represent the 701 project team."

Shangguan Qi said with a pale face: "I can explain why Zhu Lei did this."

As soon as she started speaking, tears started to fall down her face. She told her everything from beginning to end, even what happened in the dormitory.

It’s not ungrateful, nor is it adding weight to Zhu Lei’s mistakes, but it’s just that if this paragraph is not mentioned, the context of the whole thing will not be connected.

Even the fundamental reason that stimulated Zhu Lei to make such a move cannot be explained.

Therefore, she didn't dare to have any reservations, she just wanted to make it clear and protect Zhu Lei.

Just as Kong Xiaobo and the others thought, Shangguan Qi also wanted to limit the root cause of this matter to emotions. It was their fault.

She had already tried her best, and there was nothing she could do if she asked for more.

"Are you saying that Zhu Lei's motive for doing this was just to prevent you from going to Japan?"

Seeing Li Xuewu frowning and about to get angry, Xia Zhongquan quickly stopped him.

He looked at Shangguan Qi and asked, "Are there no other factors? Do you promise?"

"That's all I know."

Shangguan Qi wiped away her cold tears. Now she stopped crying. She looked at Xia Zhongquan calmly and said, "Maybe he still wants to destroy me."

"It's like we're together now."

She looked at Li Xuewu and said in a desperate tone: "The relationship between the two of us is public in the 701 team. Once something happens to him, my career will be ruined."

"You two—"

Li Xuewu gritted his teeth and said in a solemn tone: "Just because of this bullshit, you want to treat the key projects of our factory as a trifle?"

"Do you know what helicopters mean to our country?"

"Do you know what our factory has paid for this project?"

"You don't know, you just know that even if this project is ruined, you can just walk away and go back to the Ice Flying Factory to continue your emotional drama."

Li Xuewu was really angry. If Zhu Lei really had that kind of intention, he wouldn't be so angry.

But the reason why such a big thing happened turned out to be the love between children.

What the hell are you trying to explain to me? I'm a relationship expert and a mediator.

"I have received your explanation. Go back and tell your leaders to ask the Ice Flying Factory to pick them up."

Li Xuewu said with a serious face: "I will never allow a rubbish team like you to participate in our project. They will go back where they came from."

"This situation shouldn't happen, especially if it's your responsibility——"

When Xia Zhongquan saw Li Xuewu getting angry, he naturally wanted to hug him back.

No matter Li Xuewu's purpose was to cut off this cooperation, or to scare them deliberately.

If there are bad guys, there must be bad guys, otherwise things will get stuck.

No matter how this matter is handled in the end, it should be a matter between units.

As the main person in charge of handling this matter, Li Xuewu cannot bring emotions into it.

After all, the purpose of Bing Fei's trip was the coordination and cooperation between the Third Aircraft Department and the First Aircraft Department.

If they just drive people away, the Third Machinery Department will ask for help, and the future work of the Red Star Factory will be difficult.

Don't say that they are not under unified control. The Ministry of Industry is all connected, with many threads and one rope.

Xia Zhongquan sighed and said to Shangguanqi who was crying again: "You are advanced workers selected by the Bingfei Factory. You must have a sense of responsibility and responsibility."

"As soon as a conflict arises, we must communicate with the leader and explain that this kind of relationship, especially emotional relationships, is absolutely not allowed to occur."

He was also very embarrassed when he looked at Shangguan Qi. His parents and family were under the control of others, and it was only the grace of saving his life.

With such an ignorant bastard on the stand, there is still a future.

"Even if I report it to the leader, the matter will not be resolved."

Shangguan Qi said with a pale face: "There is only one way I can go, which is to protect him."

"When he gets angry, I have to endure it. When he hits me, I have to endure it. Who can save me?"

She looked at Xia Zhongquan with empty eyes and said: "For my family, I can't even die, I can only live like this."

"well--"

Xia Zhongquan sighed helplessly. He just understood this and didn't know what to say. It's just the fate that makes people happy.

What you see before your eyes is one, but there are how many you cannot see.

The Red Star Factory is pretty good, is this not the case?

"I'm like a moth flying into the flame. I know that death is ahead of me, but I still have something to gain."

There was no emotion in Shangguan Qi's tone, and she spoke like a dead person: "Zhu Lei is ruined. I can only die here so that my family can live a better life, so..."

The meaning in her words was very decisive. Zhu Lei's parents would definitely take revenge if Red Star Factory dealt with Zhu Lei.

As for how to take revenge, she really didn't dare to think about it.

So I came here either to survive or to die.

Even if Zhu Lei doesn't die, she must die, otherwise it will be a sin for her to go back.

"Is this what you guys from Bingfei do? Are you risking your life with me?"

Li Xuewu curled his lips and said, "I have never encountered anything like this from joining the army to working."

"I won't stop you if you want to die, but don't stink up our land."

He said firmly: "Since you said so, we can't keep 701 anymore..."

"well--"

Before Li Xuewu could finish what he said, Xia Zhongquan saw Shangguanqi's appearance and couldn't bear to scare him anymore, so he tried to persuade him: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Let's think of a way."

"When did you become an old Bodhisattva?"

Li Xuewu frowned and looked at Xia Zhongquan, and said dissatisfied: "How about you save her."

"How can I have that great power——"

Xia Zhongquan looked at Shangguan Qi and advised, "Stop crying. Crying won't solve the problem."

He pointed at her and said, "Don't look at Deputy Director Li's angry eyes, but this is the true Bodhisattva."

"It's right to take the initiative to tell him about your matter, but you still have to figure out the relationship."

Seeing Shangguan Qi's eyes light up, he nodded slowly and said, "I came here today to report to Deputy Director Li. You can't represent the 701 project team."

"Yes, I can't represent the 701 project team." Shangguan Qi wiped her tears and said, "I can only represent myself."

She looked at Li Xuewu and pleaded, "Deputy Director Li, please help me."

Li Xuewu glanced at her, lowered his eyebrows and head, picked up the teacup and didn't speak.

Xia Zhongquan looked at Shangguan Qi and helplessly winked at her, asking her to be more proactive.

There must be an attitude when asking for help. Since everyone knows that it should be in the name of an individual, shouldn't you talk about your attitude towards the Red Star Factory?

Shangguan Qi misunderstood, slid down from the sofa, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

This scared Xia Zhongquan, and this was not his original intention.

He looked at Li Xuewu, hoping that he would not make things worse.

Li Xuewu glared at him impatiently, and then asked Shangguan Qi: "Do you really treat me as a Buddha?"

"I have nowhere to go--"

Xia Zhongquan called Peng Xiaoli and helped her up together.

Shangguan Qi looked at Li Xuewu and said: "Even if you say you are the Jade Emperor, I will believe it."

"Hehe--"

This sentence made Li Xuewu laugh, he became the Jade Emperor.

But this is not the wrong person, his previous nickname was Yuhuang Emperor.

"Don't talk nonsense--"

Xia Zhongquan also smiled, pulled her up, sat down together and asked: "Are you doing aircraft research? Which school did you graduate from?"

"MIT, my parents and brother all graduated from there."

Shangguan Qi explained: "We came back in 1962 and were assigned to the Bingfei Factory."

"MIT?"

Xia Zhongquan frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Shangguan Qi and asked: "Is it because of this?"

He asked with a very ugly face: "So your parents and brother are..."

"Including me, if it weren't for Zhu Lei," Shangguan Qi said with a bitter smile: "I think our whole family has been separated."

"Oh--"

Xia Zhongquan sighed in understanding, looked at Li Xuewu, and wanted to ask him what he thought.

Li Xuewu knew what Xia Zhongquan was thinking, and his mouth twitched.

He thought that Old Xia was not a good person, and he took advantage of others' misfortune to play a trick.

Of course, this is not called taking advantage of someone's misfortune, this is called sending charcoal in the snow.

If you want to send it, just send it, but you are taking charcoal from me, so he is called a good person.

But it is obvious that Xia Zhongquan has already developed a love for talent, and he actually took the initiative to talk to him.

"Go and ask if this is the situation she described."

Li Xuewu informed Peng Xiaoli, then looked at Shangguan Qi and asked: "I want to deal with Zhu Lei's matter, what is your attitude?"

"I will listen to you, you tell me."

At Xia Zhongquan's signal, Shangguan Qi took a deep breath and looked at Li Xuewu seriously, like a prisoner waiting for punishment.

Li Xuewu looked at her with embarrassment, thought again and again, and then said: "Zhu Lei's matter must be dealt with, let Bingfei Factory send someone."

Hearing what Li Xuewu said, Shangguan Qi's face turned pale, but she resisted the urge to speak.

"I don't want to get involved in your affairs with him. I'm not a bodhisattva in the temple. It's useless to worship me."

Li Xuewu knocked on the armrest of the sofa and said, "You have to make up for your own mistakes. You haven't learned enough lessons this time, and you still think this is just playing house."

He paused here and arranged for Xia Zhongquan: "She shouldn't go to Japan. It's not appropriate. Reflect on it and deal with the problem first."

"And--" Li Xuewu pointed at him impatiently and reminded him: "You took the matter over. If there are any problems later, I will only settle accounts with you."

"Settle, settle, settle I owe you."

Xia Zhongquan smiled and stood up, motioned to Shangguan Qi who was a little confused, and said: "Let's go, the bodhisattva has promised you, don't delay here."

"But--but--"

Shangguan Qi didn't understand what was going on. It was over?

What did Deputy Director Li promise me?

Looking at Deputy Director Li who had stood up and sat down behind his desk, she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. She didn't understand what was just said.

Xia Zhongquan patted her arm gently and motioned for them to go out together.

He took the confused Shangguan Qi out of the door, and said as he walked out: "I will call your family later, and ask them to get ready and come to Beijing with the cadres of Bingfei, and tell them what I said."

"And--"

Without waiting for Shangguan Qi to ask, he turned back and reminded: "If anyone from 701 asks, don't talk about what we just talked about. Just say that the situation has been explained clearly, and Deputy Director Li asked Bingfei Factory to come and deal with it."

"But, Director Xia--"

Shangguan Qi looked back at the office she had just left and asked: "I..."

"Deputy Director Li will not help others easily, you have to cherish this opportunity."

Xia Zhongquan sighed and emphasized: "The relationship with Zhu Lei ends here. You don't need to see him, let alone his parents."

"Deputy Director Li asked Bingfei Factory to pick up the person, not to send him to the Ministry of Confidentiality. Don't you understand?"

He glanced at the girl and said: "Bingfei Factory should either transfer your family's relationship or wait for the Third Ministry of Machine Building to pick up the person from the Ministry of Confidentiality."

"Ah--"

Shangguan Qi was stunned for a moment. She understood what Director Xia meant.

Zhu Lei, who should have been dealt with according to the procedure, was now downgraded to a lower level because of her relationship with her family. That is, someone from Bingfei Factory came.

What can the person do?

First, explain clearly what the attitude of 701, as a team assigned by Bingfei Factory, is towards this project. If they can do it, they can do it. If they can't do it, they can leave.

Secondly, the impact of this incident must be eliminated. Red Star Factory will not take the blame for them. They should review at the Third Ministry of Machine Building and apologize at the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Finally, it is about Zhu Lei and her problem. Red Star Factory needs an expert in aircraft research, but not a troublemaker.

As long as Bingfei receives this news, it will understand what Red Star Factory means through Director Kong.

Since they don't have the ability to deal with this matter, they will completely resolve the relationship and contradiction.

Shangguan Qi's family was transferred to Red Star Factory in Beijing, and Zhu Lei was taken back by Bingfei Factory for processing.

In this way, we can continue to discuss cooperation.

As for whether Bingfei Factory was willing or not, Shangguan Qi repeated what Director Xia told her to say after returning to the Red Star Factory Guesthouse.

The look Director Kong and other leaders gave her said it all.

Distant, silent, with a little bit of relief and contempt, it was too complicated.

Colleagues and comrades who had worked together for many years were now strangers.

Her affair with Zhu Lei had put everyone in crisis, and now she had abandoned Zhu Lei and became an outsider.

Was she an outsider?

Did she abandon Zhu Lei?

I don't know, Shangguan Qi just felt that the burden on her shoulders was much lighter.

She saved Zhu Lei, and this life was considered to be paid off.
