Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Let's row our oars~"

"The boat pushes away the waves~"

"The sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls——"

"Hahaha——cluck——"

The lake is not big, but there are a few wooden boats rippling on the lake, which are the cleaning team's tool boats.

Li Xuewu certainly wouldn't take his daughter to row such a boat without a care, but just taught her to sing when he took a morning walk.

Li Shu was a little girl, walking like a duckling, and learning to sing with her father in a baby voice.

But as she sang, her eyes were attracted by the wild flowers on the roadside, the frogs in the lake, and the jumping grasshoppers.

When she looked back and saw her father looking at her, smiling and waiting for her to sing along, she would laugh happily.

"Your singing is really bad--"

"Thank you for the compliment," Li Xuewu didn't care about the old man's evaluation of his singing skills, and said, "Your fishing skills are also average."

The old man has gotten used to it, and the fishing rod in his hand didn't shake. It's obvious that his energy training has improved.

Li Shu is also familiar with the old man. She smiled and called him grandpa, and stood on tiptoe to look at the fish basket, "It's still empty--"

Quack--

"There are so many frogs in this lake."

The old man glanced at Li Xuewu's expression of trying to hold back his smile, and said this. He doesn't care about his face!

Li Xuewu didn't expect his daughter to be so lethal. Didn't he see that the float was shaking? The old man is making up for himself.

"Otherwise, what does the old saying say? Choice is more important than hard work--"

He squatted down, circled his daughter in front of him, wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief, and teased the old man: "If you had chosen to catch toads, you would have had a great harvest, right?"

"Do you still need to catch toads?" The old man was unwilling to be outdone. He turned his head and glanced at Li Xuewu, snorting: "Isn't there one right in front of you?"

"Did you see that, daughter?" Li Xuewu smiled and taught Li Shu: "This is called pointing fingers at others and cursing at others, and being sarcastic."

"Teach your daughter something good!"

The old man's defense was broken, and he could no longer maintain the aloofness of an old man in a straw hat and raincoat fishing alone in the cold river and snow. He turned his brows and sneered at Li Xuewu.

"Grandpa--" Li Shu looked up and reminded: "Toads, toads can't be eaten. Toads are good... good toads!"

Although she is not yet old enough to go to kindergarten, Gu Ning is already teaching her pinyin and numbers.

There were children's picture books and magazines. Qin Jingru coaxed her to recognize various small animals and learn nursery rhymes during the day.

Li Xuewu didn't think about how promising his daughter would be when she grew up, as long as she didn't become a bandit.

"Look, Li Shu is more knowledgeable than you!"

The old man only looked at Li Xuewu with a cold eye. When facing Li Shu, the severe cold turned into spring warmth.

He smiled and said to Li Shu: "Kids know that toads can't be eaten, right?"

"Yes--" Li Shu was very satisfied with the praise and affirmation of adults. She puffed out her chest and chattered about toads eating insects.

Li Xuewu did not refute the old man, but just smiled and watched his daughter speak. He liked her brave expression and hoped that she would be optimistic and cheerful.

"I heard that your factory had an accident?"

The old man waited until Li Shu finished speaking, and saw that she was attracted by the grasshopper, then raised his head and asked Li Xuewu a question.

Then, without waiting for Li Xuewu to answer, he sighed: "The situation is difficult and it is a troubled time."

"Retire and take good care of yourself."

Li Xuewu stared at his daughter, but retorted: "You don't need to worry about food and drink, why do you care about so much?"

"What? Are you unwilling?"

He snatched the ant from his daughter's hand, handed her a stick to play with, and continued to ask: "How about I find something for you to do?"

"Are you so kind?"

The old man's eyes were also on Li Shu. The world of children is always so innocent and beautiful.

He sighed and said, "Forget it, just like you said, I haven't been short of food and drink."

"I think so too, there are not so many unfulfilled ambitions."

Li Xuewu squatted beside his daughter, with tenderness in his eyes and a knife in his mouth: "Even if you drink ice for ten years, you will die of stomach cold."

"It's hard to cool the hot blood. A thousand years of dark room, snort-"

He curled his lips lightly, and said with a mocking tone: "The times have passed, and now we don't care about a single light to make it clear."

"Yes, yes, we are all antiques, and we should have been swept into the garbage dump of history and sent to the crematorium in the eastern suburbs."

The old man's only bit of spirit was also extinguished by Li Xuewu's pee, and now it was all smoking complaints.

He turned around, holding the fishing rod, whether he was angry or helpless, he continued to cultivate his body and mind with a melancholy face, pretending to be dead.

The right and wrong, success and failure are all in vain, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

——

Towards the end of July, there are more and more things, and the work is getting busier and busier.

The Red Star Factory has made a lot of big moves recently. The whole factory is busy from top to bottom, inside and outside.

Li Xuewu cooperated with Gu Weijie to lift the red veil of the agency, pushed the shy personnel change and sat on the wedding bed, muttering "I wish you a son soon and smooth sailing."

What is personnel change?

It's just a math problem, very simple, just one addition and one subtraction.

With the adjustment of industrial production order, various production units are regulated and merged with professional factories, and personnel work is also being adjusted in an orderly manner.

Some unnecessary positions should be streamlined, some personnel who fail the assessment should be transferred, and some new positions should be added and arranged.

Production, logistics, personnel, finance, etc., are like pieces of a puzzle that make up the prosperous Red Star Factory.

There is actually no need to summarize the barrel theory, and there are a few people who work in government agencies who don’t understand it.

In reality, it means that their respective work cannot keep up with the overall progress, there is a lack of management by the supervisor, the project is advancing slowly, and there are too many factors.

At this time, one person is needed to coordinate, allocate resources in the middle, guide and stimulate the coordinated development of various departments, and move in step.

Generally speaking, the executive vice president or executive deputy director will cooperate with the director of the management committee to perform this work.

The Red Star Factory did not have the position of executive deputy, and Lao Li was not willing or prepared to do so, so he asked Li Xuewu to do the job.

Inferior position and power describe the current Li Xuewu.

Li Huaide is small-minded and reluctant to part with the development dividends in the early stages of reform. Centralization represents the rapid response and implementation of decisions.

Although it goes against the fundamental principles of the organization, this situation has been covered up in the rapid development of economy and production work.

The higher authorities also lack the necessary energy and influence to intervene in the development and actions of the Red Star Factory.

This has resulted in the current organizational ecological pattern of Red Star Factory.

If there are fewer leaders, there will be fewer things to do and the work will be easier to do.

Especially after the personnel reform of the agency, a large number of "old" people who have lost their enthusiasm for work and life ideals left, and a large number of passionate young people came up.

Basic positions have been filled at the grassroots level, fresh blood has been added to the agencies, and there is a new atmosphere at the management and execution levels.

It is obvious that there are more young people coming in and out of the government building, and the voices speaking at meetings have become louder.

Even Li Huaide said that watching young people doing work made him look several years younger.

That's true, if you look at a young dancer doing... work, he's even younger!

There have been rumors in the agency for a long time, and Zhou Miaomiao, the person in the design department, didn't care at all about having a wife.

At least in the personnel reform of the agency, the person even mentioned a minor subject. Can you say whether he has made a loss or a gain?

If you want to ask Zhou Miaomiao whether he made a loss or a profit, it’s even harder to say.

Gaga’s new motorcycle, the imported watch and the bag she is carrying, the boyfriend who is talking about getting married, the prosperous performing arts career, and the good brother who often entertains guests, do you think she has lost or made a profit?

Let’s not talk about whether Zhou Miaomiao suffered a loss or not. Recently, she has been asking Zhou Xiaoling whether she suffered a loss or not.

——

"You also want to ask me about the decoration?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyes and glanced at the heads of the Publicity Department and Engineering Department, and asked in a very impatient tone: "Is it your first day at work?"

"That... leader, here's the thing," the head of the Propaganda Section 1 bowed slightly and pointed to the documents on the table and explained: "After all, we are in the city, right, we still think we should listen to your opinion."

"The main reason is that the style is difficult to control," the head of the Engineering Business Section hesitantly agreed: "We still solicited the opinions of the literary and artistic publicity team on stage applications, and there is no problem..."

"There are so many ideas -" Li Xuewu understood what the two meant, tapped the pen, and stopped embarrassing them, "The focus of literary and artistic promotion should still be on promotion."

As he spoke, he made instructions on the document, "The appearance must conform to the characteristics of the times, but there must also be room for development."

"Times are developing, society is progressing, and we all pay attention to inner beauty now."

Li Xuewu raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and said: "So in engineering design, we must do a good job of serving art, so that art can serve publicity and serve the public."

Looking at the document he pushed over, the two of them looked at each other, and the head of the Publicity Section 1 took the initiative to take it.

The writing is very concise, different from what the leader just said, but there seems to be no difference.

However, both of them were old people, so they understood it after just one glance. They smiled and nodded in agreement, then thanked each other and went out.

——

"There are many problems——"

Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and took a sip, then glanced at Cen Fuyao who was sitting opposite.

Cen Fuyao is the director of the Steel City United Industrial Management Office, which is at the same level as the Beijing Tertiary Industry Management Office and the Tianjin Trade Management Center.

This is the troika of the Red Star Factory's economic and trade leading group. He, Zhuang Cangshu and Wang Yu are the three carriage drivers of the leading group.

Li Xuewu is the deputy leader of the leading group in charge of organization and coordination. When he returned to Beijing this time, Cen Fuyao came to report on his work and also listened to the instructions of deputy leader Li.

"It's not easy to do grassroots work."

Cen Fuyao smiled and picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It seemed that he was interceding for the two of them, but in fact there was something behind his words.

"It is an obligation to do well, and it is responsibility to do poorly. Each leader has an idea, how to do it, and what to do. There are many constraints."

"It seems you think you have too many leaders?"

Li Xuewu smiled casually and said, "Come on, I'll talk to the factory later, so you don't have to go back to Beijing to report on your work."

"I don't care about others," Cen Fuyao said with a smile, "I must come to report on my work."

He put down the tea cup in his hand and said in a semi-serious tone: "No one in the Red Star Factory can compare with you in terms of grasping the context of industrial development."

"I'm not complimenting you in front of you, and you don't need me to compliment you."

Cen Fuyao opened his notebook with a smile and said: "Without your participation in planning and design, Steel City Industry would not be as brilliant and successful as it is today."

"This is flattering -"

Li Xuewu nodded at him, put down the tea cup and said, "It's not that I don't like to hear compliments, I just want to hear the truth."

He sat up straight, looked at the report in front of him and asked: "When can the Antelope be mass-produced? Do you have a plan?"

"It won't be until October at the latest. The trial production is in good condition, and the comrades from the Vehicle Engineering Research Institute are making final additions and adjustments."

Seeing Li Xuewu talking seriously, Cen Fuyao looked serious and reported: "According to the production feedback from the motorcycle production line, Comrade Wang Gang's opinion is to be more stable."

"I'm not urging you, the engineers' opinions must be fully considered," Li Xuewu glanced at him and reminded: "Mass production is not the goal, planned and planned production is the core goal."

He clicked on the document in his hand and said: "You can see that in the second half of the year, the factory will tilt its policies and actions towards the automobile industry. This is your opportunity, you have to seize it."

"I understand what you mean," Cen Fuyao responded seriously: "On the basis of following scientific development and technology first, we will fully coordinate production capacity and cooperate with the factory to regulate..."

"The sales office is organizing professional talent training courses, focusing on cultivating trade and sales management talents."

Li Xuewu tapped the pen in his hand on the table, looked at him and said: "Don't wait for the factory to feed you, be self-reliant, comrade."

"Passenger car factories, car factories, engineering vehicle factories, the automobile industry alone has launched so many projects this year, how many hands do you have?"

Cen Fuyao felt sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect that Li Xuewu's information was so well-informed, or that someone had complained to him.

"Do you know that the factory authorities are making personnel changes?"

Li Xuewu put down the pen in his hand, glanced at him, and said with meaning: "I don't believe you can't hear the news."

"Yes, I heard someone talk about it..." Cen Fuyao raised his head and looked at Li Xuewu, and asked hesitantly: "What do you mean?"

"Have you never thought about why the factory does this?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Are you still pretending to be confused because you understand?"

"Don't be clever. This method is too low-end and too unflattering."

He called the secretary in the office to refill the tea for Cen Fuyao opposite him, and reminded him: "Broaden your horizons and take a long-term view."

"The management office is just the product of a temporary compromise. The ultimate goal is to promote the establishment of a professional factory."

He knocked on the document at hand and said, "I won't read this report. I believe the leader is not willing to read it either."

Pushing the document back, he continued: "The automobile industry will develop, and the electronics and hardware industries will also develop."

"The electronics industry report submitted by Director Dong in June this year is very forward-looking. I believe you have seen it."

He looked at Cen Fuyao, who looked a little stiff, and said, "The mechanical and electrical company is a big project, and both Deputy Director Jing and Director Dong are interested in promoting this matter."

"Merger several TV and radio factories, acquire a few more radio factories, and introduce more advanced electronic technology..."

Li Xuewu was talking about the main contents of the report submitted by Dong Wenxue, and Cen Fuyao's face across from him turned blue and white.

"...The purpose is to set up a larger electronics industry production line. You don't think this is a small project, do you?"

"Of course... of course not, but..." Cen Fuyao asked hesitantly: "The electronics factory is already producing washing machines, refrigerators, fans..."

"It's not enough, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Xuewu's tone became serious, he glanced sharply at Cen Fuyao, and asked: "How many families in China don't have flashlights and electric fans yet?"

"Have you ever considered the advantages of electronics OEM and export of electronic products?"

Seeing Cen Fuyao frowning and thinking, he paused and then reminded: "Don't plan on this little thing in the bowl, it's too petty."

"Let it go if you can. If you don't give the people below a chance, how will the top give you a chance?"

"Yes, I understand," Cen Fuyao took a deep breath, looked at Li Xuewu hesitantly and asked: "Director Dong's side..."

"You do your work out of a sense of public service. What are you doing?"

Li Xuewu frowned and glared at him, patted the table and reprimanded: "You still dare to argue with Deputy Director Jing, the Red Star Factory can't let you go?"

"Don't tell me about those things that are good and bad. When you go back, you should make corrections immediately. Improve what should be done, and do what should be done down."

"Understood, leader," Cen Fuyao gestured to the report on the table and said, "I will prepare another one when I get back..."

"Let's take care of things first—"

Li Xuewu looked at him with an unkind expression, moved the corners of his mouth, and then softened his tone and said, "Don't be ignorant of good and evil."

"Deputy Director Jing is in charge of finance, sales and dispatch, and he is also the deputy leader of the economic and management team. You can't tell the difference between the big king and the big king, can you?"

What we were talking about before was business, so the conversation should naturally focus on kindness and unity. Now we are talking about feelings. Li Xuewu didn't use curse words when he cursed people, but it was enough to scare Cen Fuyao.

"I understand. After I return, I will adjust the division of labor, apply for grassroots cadre support from the factory, and do a good job in talent training..."

"Go ahead, go ahead," Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and nodded, looking out the window. Before the other party went out, he reminded him, "Don't forget to go to Deputy Director Gu and Deputy Director Jing for instructions."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Li——"

This sentence from Cen Fuyao was a sincere thank you. Some words were rarely heard from Li Xuewu. Most people were not qualified to ask Li Xuewu for advice or rebuke.

——

"Leader? Are you busy?"

Seeing that Peng Xiaoli was not in the secretary's office, Zhou Yao took the initiative to come to Li Xuewu.

She said hello with a smile, and walked in when the leader nodded, "I heard what they said, you are swearing."

"Then you still dare to come?"

Li Xuewu smiled and moved the document in his hand, letting the other party place the handed document in front of him.

Zhou Yao stood beside Li Xuewu, bowed slightly and explained: "The results have come out from the branch. I am taking a risk to report to you."

"Well, this is considered deserved."

Li Xuewu looked at the processing results in the bulletin and asked, "Why did you come down so quickly?"

“Special measures are taken to have a great impact.”

Zhou Yao explained softly: "The branch has long been interested in suppressing the recent momentum, but there has never been a suitable opportunity."

"Does that mean we are unlucky?" Li Xuewu raised his head, glanced at her, and said, "I feel so overwhelmed."

"The purpose of the branch is to use the influence of this incident to expand the results and continue to promote the maintenance of public security and stability."

Zhou Yao introduced: "The branch office should follow up in the near future to urge all factory units to organize special rectification work of public security."

"The breakthrough is here," Li Xuewu clicked on the document, which contained the understanding and deployment of this rectification work. He was very supportive of Zhou Yao's work.

"Based on our previous public security management work and experience, we will explore and discuss based on your opinions. We still think it is better to take a multi-pronged approach."

Zhou Yao leaned forward to indicate the specific implementation methods and reported: "Strengthen ideological education and publicity on public security; cooperate with the Human Resources Department to implement system regulations and management; coordinate trade unions to carry out social activities; and finally, crack down and eliminate unstable factors."

"Well, it's good. The goals are clear and there are specific action guidelines." Li Xuewu looked at the document in his hand and nodded: "But we must pay attention to the methods and priorities."

He used a pencil to comment on key positions, especially the last one, which was related to the work and lives of too many people.

"Communicate and learn more with other departments, especially the labor union, and try to get their support and understanding so that your work can be carried out smoothly."

Li Xuewu has never underestimated the power of trade unions, especially at this time.

At the end of the document, he made another instruction with a pen, demanding that recent public security cases be dealt with seriously and the relevant responsible persons should be investigated and prosecuted.

"Please give this operation a codename," Zhou Yao suggested with a smile: "I heard that you used to use appropriate codenames for organized operations. I will also learn from it."

"Okay, no problem, let me think about it."

Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at the door of the office. When he saw Li Xue coming in, he smiled and said, "Let's call it 'Thunder'."

——

"Your boss didn't give you a holiday?"

Looking at the girl sitting quietly opposite, the office was quiet for a long time before Li Xuewu asked.

After reading the documents in his hand, he stood up and went to the tea cabinet to pick up a thermos bottle and refill himself with water.

Peng Xiaoli went to the Red Star training ground on his behalf, first to watch, second to ask, and third to check.

As for the secretary, Li Xuewu will not give him too many rights, but he will not restrict his growth and give him opportunities to exercise.

The same goes for Li Xue. Although Jing Yunong will train her, he will not give her too many rights.

"It seems you didn't follow the right leader."

Seeing that the girl was silent, Li Xuewu smiled and teased her: "What, do you want to change the leader?"

"Your second brother and I are in the management committee office now, so it's a little convenient."

"Okay, how about I be your secretary? I will definitely do a better job than Peng Xiaoli."

Li Xue rolled her eyes, put her chin on her hand, looked at her second brother and said, "Does this mean I can have a holiday every day?"

"That's not you being my secretary, it's me being your secretary!"

Li Xuewu walked to the desk, slapped her brain, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you come home? I don't know that mom misses you?"

"Mom doesn't want me anymore," Li Xue twitched her lips and said, "Now she only has her eldest grandson and second grandson in her eyes."

"Oh, by the way, there is also the eldest granddaughter!" As if she just remembered it, she glared at her second brother and said, "After having Li Shu, my mother doesn't care about me that much anymore. I blame you -"

"You can blame me for this?"

Li Xuewu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea, and said with a smile: "You are now a little swallow with hard wings. After you fly out of the nest, you miss home and your parents."

"I've thought about it, please give my mother back to me... Yeah -"

Before she could finish her words, her second brother gave her another blow.

"You still think you are a child!"

Li Xuewu glanced at the girl and reminded her: "She is seventeen years old. She is a big girl. It will be time to find her husband's family in a year or two."

"Eh-" Li Xue grinned and glared at his second brother: "That's why you came to me, right?"

"What's the matter?"

Li Xuewu pretended not to know and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? I just miss you."

"Do you think I believe your nonsense?" Li Xue tilted her head and stared into her second brother's eyes and said, "Do you know that whenever you talk nonsense, you will always be serious?"

"Really? I didn't even notice!"

Li Xuewu poked his head and looked at his face on the glass of his desk, winked and said, "No?"

"I hate you—" Li Xue angrily reached out and patted her second brother on the head, snorting: "You're just teasing me on purpose!"

“Hiss—” Li Xuewu deliberately pretended to be in pain, covered his head and said, “Let’s take it to your heart!”

"Ha! I don't have as many eyes as you!"

Li Xue didn't believe that the beating hurt him, she folded her arms and hummed: "When it comes to whether my boss has given me a holiday, you are the first to know, right?"

"What do you mean?" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at the girl and asked, "You have confused me."

"I think you are pretending to be confused because you understand!"

Li Xue pouted and asked, "Everyone in the factory said that you turned against my boss, but I don't think that's the case."

"Hey! Don't say anything that affects unity!"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and emphasized: "Deputy Director Jing and I only have differences of opinion on work. There is no need to use hatred to describe it."

"What word should be used to describe it?"

Li Xue twitched the corners of her lips and asked, "How about building the plank road openly and secretly attacking Chen Cang?"

"Hiss! Are you talking to me?"

Li Xuewu pretended to be unhappy and said: "You have to act like a big girl in the workplace. Are you acting like a housekeeper?"

"Then please treat me like a big girl and stop caring so much about my emotional problems, okay?"

Li Xue only dared to make excuses with her second brother, risking a little bit and asking her to walk away, which she would never dare to do.

Not to mention she was at work, even if she was pampered by her parents at home, she would not dare to show off her attitude towards her second brother.

Of course, at this moment, the second brother was making me anxious, otherwise I wouldn't have used my little secret to defend and counterattack.

"I didn't ask anyone to complain to you about Cen Fuyao's petty tricks in Steel City, so you can't spare me?"

Li Xue regretted a little after saying this, but still stubbornly turned her head, looked out the window and said: "He knows the intentions of the factory, but the factory does not know the small moves in Steel City..."

She had a lot to say in her heart, but she didn't want to say it until she figured it out.

For example, the leader is refreshed after returning, for example, the violent temper suddenly becomes gentle, for example... the second brother is taking charge of the work at the unit?

How did he know that he didn't go home? He wasn't at home when he went.

When did the leadership of the security team fall on his head, he happened to catch up with Deputy Director Jing's return.

As for the job talks, she didn't have any doubts. Deputy Director Jing learned some things in Steel City and had to talk about it.

It’s just that what has been reported in the factory in the past few days since she came back does not match what she knows!

What about turning against each other as promised?

"Whose little tricks don't the factory know about?"

Li Xuewu did not reprimand the girl anymore, but explained calmly: "What he can know is only what the factory is willing to let him know, and he will be misled by his cleverness."

"The food hasn't even been served yet, and he wanted to take a bite first. If it wasn't for Director Dong's sake..."

"So, you all want him to take over the electronics industry?" Li Xue frowned at his second brother and asked, "Then who will go to the automobile industry? That's..."

"It can't be you, right? No!"

The little girl studied with Jing Yunong in the agency for more than half a year. She finally developed professional qualities and learned to think about problems with the agency's thinking.

She looked at the calm second brother, thought for a long time, and then blurted out with wide eyes: "It's Director Ding! He has to make room for you!"

"No wonder..." Li Xue figured it out immediately and murmured to himself: "Deputy Team Leader Xiao went to Fengcheng to preside over the restructuring of the No. 1 Machinery Factory... Director Dong..."

"So, can you tell me now what's going on between you and Peng Xiaoli?"

Li Xuewu didn't care about his sister's speculations about these human relations. He only cared about whether there were pigs in his vegetable garden.

"What's going on?" Li Xue didn't expect that the second brother was still holding on to this problem.

She was very calm and answered calmly: "Nothing happened to either of us."

"When I first started working, I had to take care of him. It was a more normal relationship with colleagues, but it was a bit of friendship."

"This is strange," Li Xuewu looked at the girl and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he said, "The day you come back..."

"Can't I just make friends?"

Li Xue explained helplessly: "We really don't have anything, he just asked me about work matters."

"Hehehe——" Li Xuewu chuckled, took a sip of hot tea, and said: "It seems that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless."

"Brother and sister, let's stop hiding him. I don't believe you can't see that he is interested in you."

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Li Xuewu said calmly: "I don't object to you making friends, let alone the person you are dating, but as your second brother, I have the obligation to give advice."

"If you can trust me, feel free to share your emotional matters with me, and I'll help you keep a check."

He spread his hands frankly and said, "If you don't trust me, I won't interfere, but don't come crying in front of me in the future."

"No matter what you think in your heart, Peng Xiaoli is not suitable for you. I'm not saying that his character is not good."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said very bluntly: "I don't care whether you find a suitable partner or not. No matter how powerful or rich he is, I don't care."

"I will only tell you one thing. The person you are looking for must be able to stand up straight in front of me and talk to me, otherwise you will never be happy in your life. Do you understand?"

Li Xue looked at her second brother in confusion, thinking about what he said, as if she understood, but not as if she didn't.

She didn't bother Peng Xiaoli, she just stood up straight and spoke...

"You love to introduce people to others so much. When I want to find someone later, I can just look for you -"

Li Xue was touched by her second brother's concern, but she still refused to give in. "Even my sister-in-law said that you have found a partner for Zhao Yajun who can make a fire..."

"Are you looking for a fight?" Li Xuewu frightened the girl angrily, and then explained in a dumbfounded way: "This girl almost ruined my record of 100% matchmaking rate."

——

On the last day of July, after nearly a month of training and study, the study tour to Japan finally took place.

When the short list was announced at the last minute, some people were excited and some were worried.

Those who are excited will naturally have the opportunity to go abroad with the group to study and study, and they will be put to good use after returning.

Of course, the sad person has been studying behind closed doors for a month and still failed to catch up with this opportunity.

They are all young and promising leaders and potential stocks in related technical fields.

Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huaide to personally send the inspection group to the plane, and finally emphasized safety matters with the person in charge of the group.

Also accompanying the group were two officers from the Security Department, one of whom was Zhao Yajun.

Zhao Yajun also strives for success and has performed well in training and study. Before going abroad, he also reported his relationship status to the organization and made a filing.

One is a rising star who shoulders heavy responsibilities and is responsible for the security mission of the regiment, and the other is a related person who has made jokes in the past.

The fact that Zhao Yajun and Wang Lu were together soon spread among the young people in the factory.

The factory office said it was not big, but there were only so many young people, so any news could spread during lunch.

Zhao Yajun was selected as the security officer of the regiment, and anyone with a discerning eye would know what happened.

But his choice of Wang Lu surprised many people.

A girl who dared to have sex with a foreigner finally sent her partner abroad?

Co-author Wang Lu squeezing her arms must have some foreign flavor, right?

However, they had dared to say this nonsense before. The moment Zhao Yajun reported it to the organization, they could only whisper this in private.

If he talks nonsense in public, the Security Department will not talk to him, but the Security Department will also talk to him.

Wang Lu, a somewhat straightforward girl, no one dared to criticize her anymore after she returned to work in the security team.

Nonsense, there is a factory leader uncle, and now there is a factory leader second brother, who dares to provoke her? (Click on your house to believe it or not!)

During lunch, people from the office always arrive at the canteen before people from the workshop, and people from the office can gossip better than people from the workshop.

Nowadays, the office is very strict, and there are very few opportunities for gossip, so we just talk about it during lunch.

And when Wang Lu appeared in the cafeteria, many pairs of eyes flew to her.

In fact, the relatives of the members of the inspection team to Japan this time are under the "protection" of the confidentiality department.

It's just that no one else has such an attractive story as Wang Lu, so whether it's jealousy or envy, rumors can never stop.

Fortunately, she has a big heart, so she doesn't take this matter to heart yet. She should eat and drink when she should.

"What are you looking at?" Xiaoxiao poked Zhou Xiaoling's arm and reminded her, "Stop staring at Cheng like that?"

"I just want to take a look and see what's different about her."

Zhou Xiaoling said in a very calm voice: "Do you really think I regretted it so much?"

She withdrew her gaze from Wang Lu and said to Xiaoxiao: "Do you believe it, even if I agreed to Zhao Yajun back then, I wouldn't be the Wang Lu I am today?"

"What do you mean?" Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Didn't he chase you?"

"So what?" Zhou Xiaoling said vaguely while eating her meal: "Do you think I can enter his house?"

"You mean..." Xiaoxiao seemed to understand the meaning of Zhou Xiaoling's words and said in surprise: "He doesn't agree?"

"Then why did he... you two...?"

"I've thought about it," Zhou Xiaoling rolled her eyes at her, slowly biting the bun, and explained: "Of course he won't want Zhao Yajun to be with me, but it has nothing to do with him."

"Then why..."

The fire of gossip burned in Xiaoxiao's eyes, and she asked in a low voice: "You chase him, but he doesn't want you, and he doesn't allow you to agree to Zhao Yajun's pursuit. What's the point?"

"Where are you thinking-" Zhou Xiaoling nodded Xiaoxiao's forehead calmly and corrected: "He didn't forbid me, he just asked me to retreat when I faced difficulties."

"I didn't like Zhao Yajun originally, he looks like a piece of wood——"

"Eh-" Xiaoxiao grinned, covered her mouth and muttered in a low voice: "You like people like Zhou Tan, and you are willing to let Zhou Miaomiao wear a hat for him... You don't want to do this too, do you?"

"screw you--"

Zhou Xiaoling glared at her and explained: "Wang Lu has a good uncle, do I?"

"I don't regret this at all, because I didn't have this opportunity at all. These are two different things!"

"So you're fighting against that person?"

Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and reminded with a smile in her eyes: "I heard that his sister is back, so you didn't think about making an appointment with your good sister?"

"snort--"

Zhou Xiaoling took a bite of the steamed bun and said angrily: "The strategy of saving the country through curves has failed. His sister's scheming is just as good as his, and their family has more scheming."

"Alas - I can only figure it out slowly and wait for another opportunity."

"I have a suggestion. Can you think about it yourself?"

Xiaoxiao leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Have you heard about the fact that the factory acquired five theaters?"

After Zhou Xiaoling nodded, she continued: "I heard that our group will have to expand, and it is inevitable that we will be divided into groups..."

She poked Zhou Xiaoling's meat bun and reminded her: "If you want to get close to others, you must make achievements and let them help you, then you will have the opportunity to "repay" them, right?"

"Make achievements?" Zhou Xiaoling looked at Xiaoxiao, slapped her playful fingers away, and asked seriously: "How to do it?"

"Even if it is divided into groups, Zhou Miaomiao is the captain of the dance team, and the achievements are hers, right?"

Zhou Xiaoling is not stupid. She has suffered losses for so many years. How can she not know what kind of character these little bitches in the group are?

They all avoid when they suffer losses, and they all come around when they want to eat meat.

"You're stupid--"

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and reminded him, "What if you want to stay in the dance team for life?"

"After the division, of course we're competing for the captain of the performance team!"

She said seriously, "Go talk to the instructor, and then talk to Li Xue."

"You can't chase her second brother, but is sisterly love okay? She works at the Red Star Factory, so she doesn't need connections?"
