Men and women eating in the courtyard

Beijing in August is the hottest time of the year.

The accumulated heat from the dog days of summer that began in mid-July makes this heat even more stuffy.

Perhaps only in September can we welcome the cool breeze again, and replace it with the kind of heat that is scorching.

So, it is not only Tokyo that is hot.

At the Beijing Railway Station, a minibus drove away from the platform passage.

Although it did not occupy the time for ordinary passengers to get on and off the bus, a group of passengers wearing standard white and black clothes carrying luggage got off and got on the bus, which still attracted the attention of passengers on the platform.

The bus body was painted with the unit to which it belonged, so they knew that this group of people came from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Some passengers in Beijing are certainly familiar with the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and even some passengers from other places have heard of the name of the Red Star Factory.

It should be said that Comet motorcycles have indeed set off a wave of fashion all over the country.

Since the trial production began in May, the Red Star Factory has contacted distribution channels all over the country.

Needless to say, Beijing, Gangcheng, Tianjin and Yingcheng have branches and secondary branches, which are naturally advantageous.

The first two offices, Bianjiang and Yuezhou, have already carried out pre-ordering and distribution promotion.

The five second-phase offices of Jicheng, Fengcheng, Changshan, Green City, Chang'an and Quzhou, which were established in May, also carried out promotion as planned.

The third-phase offices, Bingcheng, Yangcheng, Jincheng, Lincheng, Quancheng and Chuncheng, which are in the preparation stage, are also making purchase and sales contacts.

Other channels include joint units, supply chain system units, brother units in the industrial system, etc.

In July, the commissioning of the assembly line equipment was completed, and the Comet motorcycle of the Red Star Factory was officially mass-produced.

Under the expectation of the distribution system across the country, this motorcycle with a price of less than 500 yuan was officially launched on the market.

The daily production capacity of 260 units cannot meet the needs of the supply and marketing market at all.

The Red Star Factory had to take the lead in starting a three-shift industrial mode in the motorcycle manufacturing plant in Gangcheng.

In the early stage of production, the production capacity can basically be maintained at about 600 units, and this is after a large number of motorcycle parts were stored in the early stage.

According to the report of the person in charge of the motorcycle factory, although the ordering of parts is being stepped up, it is expected that the production capacity will have to be reduced in September this year due to the production time limit of the supply chain system.

Now no one can say for sure how long the market's popularity of Comet motorcycles can last.

From the announcement of the product last year, to the sales preparation in March this year, and the preheating in May.

Li Xuewu has done everything he can for the sales of Comet motorcycles.

Including contacting the Beijing supply and marketing system and preparing to build a direct supply and marketing network under the sales office.

Now this kind of motorcycle can be seen frequently on the streets of Beijing, whether it is purchased with tickets or internal qualifications.

Even Li Xuewu, who is responsible for sales coordination, dare not say whether this popularity can be reduced by September.

If it cannot be reduced, there is no way. At present, the motorcycle manufacturer is trying to increase production capacity.

But there is still no inventory. The motorcycles produced every day will be loaded on trains or trucks after they come off the assembly line and shipped to all parts of the country.

The Trade Management Center has taken over the processing of some online sales orders. You heard it right, it is online.

After testing the quality of Comet motorcycles, the internal supply and marketing network of the trade management platform organized a collective car purchase activity.

In other words, a unit within a certain platform recognized this motorcycle, including the employees of the unit.

Either in the name of public-to-public procurement of welfare products or in the name of collective purchase and sales, a large number of such motorcycles are purchased.

Red Star Factory is certainly willing to do this kind of business, saving a lot of distribution costs and reducing transportation costs.

However, Li Xuewu was still cautious when approving the online distribution plan contract submitted by the sales office.

He did not oppose the development of online distribution channels, but required the sales office to ensure that all distribution outlets and offline physical demonstration stores across the country have quotas.

Comet motorcycles must realize distribution and development normally from multiple channels, and must not cause channel losses.

If all rely on the trade management platform to achieve distribution, what is the meaning of doing offline physical stores?

Of course, it is the guarantee of quality and service!

Red Star Factory has only a few joint units in Sichuan Province. If the motorcycles are sold to other people, how to repair and maintain them?

At present, Red Star Factory's distribution outlets across the country are not able to achieve full coverage.

Therefore, the Comet motorcycle sells very well, and Li Xuewu also requires this motorcycle to sell better and longer.

During the investigation at the Tianjin Office, he had learned about the market's feedback on this motorcycle from the business report.

At the same time, he also learned about the feedback from the motorcycle manufacturer, that is, the peers.

In the current motorcycle production field, which generally relies on imports and imitations of 250CC displacement, Red Star Factory goes the other way and uses the supply chain system to produce 50CC displacement motorcycles.

Even the price was reduced to less than 500 yuan, and the result was that these manufacturers complained bitterly.

As a motorcycle, the 250CC displacement is of course more powerful, but compared with the high fuel consumption, complex repair and maintenance costs, the Comet motorcycle is more cost-effective.

Let's not mention the price of less than 500 yuan for the time being, just say that after the lightweight motorcycle, an adult can lift it.

This is unimaginable with a heavy 250CC motorcycle.

There are many cases where people are trapped under a motorcycle in a car accident and cannot climb out.

Even if there is no car accident, if the motorcycle falls down, you can't climb out because it is too heavy.

Now that Comet has been released, including power, postal, communication and other mobile departments, which do not need too much power requirements, have chosen to replace the original purchase plan.

Even if there are motorcycles in the unit, they all choose to coordinate the sale and then buy Comet motorcycles.

It's a very simple truth. Even women can ride motorcycles, and they are particularly fuel-efficient. Who can not love it?

——

In just the first month of Comet's mass production, many motorcycle manufacturers found Red Star Factory.

The most honest participants in the automotive parts supply chain conference and the most honest participants in negotiations after the conference must be motorcycle companies.

Red Star Factory took out Comet, forcing them to change and join the supply chain system of Red Star Factory.

At present, Comet motorcycles are limited by production capacity and have not yet reached the influence of dominating the national motorcycle sales market.

But in major cities, even on the main roads of cities where there are no Red Star Factory offices, there are Comet motorcycles.

And residents of big cities have the consumption capacity of such cheap commuter vehicles.

Therefore, there is no need to wait until Comet motorcycles are all over the country, and those motorcycle manufacturers have already been scared and surrendered.

Either prepare cash, accept the production model and transformation guidance of Red Star Factory, purchase and replace with assembly line equipment, build parts warehouses, and join the supply chain system.

Or gradually stop production of existing products, use production equipment to accept orders from the supply chain system, and do OEM production.

It can be said that Red Star Factory's trial in the field of motorcycle manufacturing has opened up the situation for the field of automobile manufacturing.

The sales department of Red Star Factory organized participants of the supply chain conference to visit Gangcheng.

Not only did they see the production line of the automobile industry, but also the motorcycle production line that has been mass-produced.

The reason why Comet's production capacity is limited to more than 600 units is that other models of motorcycles are still being produced on the assembly line.

Including 100CC, 250CC, and 500CC.

Therefore, Red Star Factory, which can quickly produce multiple models of motorcycles on one line, has won a complete victory and is unmatched.

Not only motorcycle companies are scared, but also automobile industry companies are scared.

This move of killing the chicken to scare the monkey has a full effect. For more than a month, the Trade Management Center has negotiations and signing ceremonies every day.

Even all the preparations for the signing ceremony were kept in a conference room, which really became an assembly line.

To fulfill the contract, professional guidance and inspection teams are required. For this reason, Red Star Factory has specially selected professionals for systematic training.

Including engineers, technicians, accountants, management, etc.

During the implementation process, the industrial factory to be transformed needs to bear the travel expenses of the team.

Li Xuewu is a conscientious leader of brother units. He did not ask these units to bear the wages of team members.

After all, they are brother units. We have to get along well in the future. How can we learn the tricks of the little devils in the future to deal with us?

However, the formation of this professional team has greatly promoted the personnel reform work being carried out in Red Star Factory.

——

Why? What is the relationship between the two?

A guidance team needs at least 40 to 50 people, and a project takes at least half a year from start to finish.

A behemoth like Factory 17 will definitely not be completed without three, five, seven or eight years.

Therefore, in this automotive industrialization transformation, Hongxing Factory can output at least 2,000 technical forces.

What does 2,000 people mean?

Hongxing Factory currently has 90,000 employees, including 16 enterprises that are being merged and Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory that has completed the merger and is being digested.

Are 2,000 multi-technical workers selected from 90,000 people to participate in this project?

Wrong!

It is Hongxing Factory that has created two thousand time-limited positions invisibly.

Although these positions are time-limited, these positions do have real labor results and can generate actual economic benefits.

Don’t you need to pay for receiving guidance from the technical team?

Of course you need to. Li Xuewu can not ask for the wages of the other party’s responsible employees, but he will never support the brother units to achieve transformation for free.

Therefore, these two thousand technical team positions will be maintained for a long time.

During this period, Hongxing Factory will continue to select and promote talents with outstanding performance in the guidance team to suitable positions in the factory.

At the same time, employees with training potential will also be replaced into the guidance team.

It is the technical reform unit that paid for the Red Star Factory to help and guide the industrial reform, and also has to take the responsibility of helping the Red Star Factory to train cadres.

Of course, they are completely voluntary.

There is no place to say whether they are voluntary or not, because the guidance team is selected by the Red Star Factory.

Including the personnel of the agency and the grassroots personnel, those who have no development potential and cannot meet the production needs will go to the labor team.

Those who have development and training potential, and there is no suitable position for them in the Red Star Factory at present, will go to the technical department guidance team, or the sales department trade management center, etc.

Of course, it cannot be said that all the employees who go to the labor team are eliminated by the times.

The Red Star Factory is improving and formulating the management model of the engineering team to promote the labor team to set up an engineering construction branch next year.

90,000 people, as long as by the end of this year, the number of employees in the Red Star Factory will reach its peak.

The decision-making level of the factory management committee must fully consider the hematopoietic capacity of the Red Star Factory to ensure that these people can be assigned to suitable positions and make the best use of them.

At the office meeting in Tianjin, Li Xuewu mentioned the profitability of the Trade Management Center of Sichuan Automobile's vice president.

Of course, he would not tell the other party the real situation, and it was not as he said that it was only one cent.

The profitability of the Trade Management Center is the main economic pillar to support the construction of Red Star Factory in the next three years.

In other words, this office responsible for domestic and foreign trade handles all the economic sources of Red Star Factory except the normal budget.

——

Of course, starting from this year, Red Star United Savings Bank will gradually become another new growth point for Red Star Factory to achieve profitability both externally and internally.

Sister Xie, that is, Xie Lanzhi, the president of the United Savings Bank, came to Tianjin for research.

She came in a hurry to see Li Xuewu, and she was really busy and really concerned about the establishment of the Tianjin branch.

As a cadre who took the lead in jumping out of the organizational structure system of Red Star Factory, she has the same opportunities as Dong Wenxue.

It is better than Zhuang Cangshu's advantage. After all, the original supervisor of the Trade Management Center was Li Xuewu.

Even now, the Trade Management Center has been transferred to Jing Yunong.

You see, the United Savings Bank is also led by Jing Yunong, but the meaning and form are completely different.

The Trade Management Center has both trade and economic characteristics and is managed by two departments.

One is the Sales Office, which is the administrative unit of the Trade Management Center as the competent unit.

The other is the Office of the Economic and Trade Leading Group, with Li Huaide as the team leader and Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong as deputy team leaders.

Although Jing Yunong is also present in the Economic and Trade Office, the characteristics of being responsible for guidance and policy planning require more from the Trade Management Center.

Importantly, the Trade Management Center has no administrative power within the factory.

This is not the case with the United Savings Bank, which has a more single business form.

As a united bank, it has a complete administrative management system, and even Jing Yunong, as the competent leader, cannot interfere with its internal administrative arrangements.

Xie Lanzhi's power as the president far exceeds that of Zhuang Cangshu, and Dong Wenxue is indeed on par with her.

Therefore, facing the board-like organization established by the Red Star Factory and the Dongcheng Credit Union, the greater the rights Xie Lanzhi enjoys, the greater the responsibility she bears, and the greater the pressure.

This year, the construction of the Beijing Head Office will be completed, and the construction of the Tianjin Branch, Beijing Branch, and Gangcheng Branch will also be completed.

Next year, the development of the United Savings Bank in several major cities, such as Yingcheng, Jicheng, Fengcheng, Bingcheng, etc., will expand with the construction of the business outlets of the Red Star Factory.

Only by investing in and operating more branches can we serve trade work more widely, absorb savings, and carry out economic activities.

Only by carrying out more extensive economic activities can money make money and bring greater economic benefits to the Red Star Factory.

——

In the next three years, the Red Star Factory will fully absorb and accept these 90,000 people to meet their survival and welfare benefits within the Red Star Factory.

And after three years, more than 10,000 of them will be transferred to the newly built steel rolling mill of the Beijing Industry.

The other 80,000 people will realize the three-shift work system on the basis of fully releasing the production capacity of the Red Star Factory, and strengthen and accelerate production and construction.

At the same time, it is necessary to support the establishment of multiple professional factories and branches, especially construction companies, of the Red Star Factory.

The Red Star Factory is seeking more joint venture units to participate and incubate more projects.

Because in order to achieve promotion and group formation in three years with the posture of a snake swallowing an elephant, it is necessary to prevent the danger of being blown up.

The joint industry and the tertiary industry should take on more workers and carry out more industrial production projects.

The industrial ecological system and integrated industrial zone created by Gangcheng are prepared for these people.

There are so many good projects in Hongxing Factory, why doesn't it do it itself?

First of all, there is no money, and secondly, there are too many people.

The emergence of any hot-selling product is an encouragement to the entrepreneurial development of Hongxing Factory and a support for the credibility of the corporate brand.

The motorcycle project received an investment of 5 million, and the automobile project also received an investment of 5 million.

Was all this money used in the project?

Of course not, this is just the money from Hongxing Factory selling the franchise qualification, which can also be understood as shares.

Dongcheng Credit Union got the original shares. Although it invested at a premium, the current hot Comet motorcycle naturally brought it enough self-confidence and rich returns.

With the successful investment case of Dongcheng Credit Union, Hongxing Factory will also get financial and resource support for other projects.

As long as the products made by Red Star Factory continue to be popular, like a snowball, the assets and business scale will become larger and larger, and the capital chain will become more and more abundant.

Persist for three years, give Red Star Factory three years to slowly consume the elephant in its belly, and Red Star Factory will be an elephant in three years.

By then, the number of employees of 70,000 to 80,000 people will definitely be supported, and these 70,000 to 80,000 people can be used to leverage more industrial production benefits.

——

The hurricane called Comet, which was blown by Red Star Factory from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year and then blew hard from the middle of the year, has not passed, and a hurricane called Antelope has risen again.

Compared with Comet, a windy lady with a burning and cheap look, Red Star Antelope, as a symbol of the automobile industry, seems more stable.

Just when Li Xuewu went to Gangcheng and Tianjin for research, the automobile manufacturing plant in Gangcheng received the good news of the experimental mass production of Antelope.

This car that has been promoted by Red Star Factory since last year is finally coming to the market.

Yes, experimental mass production.

Due to the production pressure during the mass production of Comet motorcycles, the automobile manufacturer made more adequate preparations.

In the early stage of debugging equipment and conducting trial production, more than 100 units were secretly produced and put into the market for testing.

After receiving good market response and evaluation, we will start to fully prepare for mass production.

Reserve more parts, train more employees, enrich and simplify industrial work area management, etc.

For experimental mass production, the automobile manufacturer immediately implemented a two-shift working system.

The daily production capacity has been increased to 240 units. If the market can quickly consume this production capacity, the automobile manufacturing plant will implement a three-shift working system.

Automobile production lines need better workers, who are younger, have more physical strength and mental concentration, have training potential, and have faster execution capabilities.

Once the assembly line is opened, the work area and working hours must be strictly controlled. Workers cannot work too slowly and follow the car, otherwise things will get messy.

Older workers can make car parts, but they will definitely not be able to keep up on the assembly line. This is physical work, but it is also technical work.

Therefore, in this era, when cultivating an employee who cannot be fired easily, or when the requirements for job skills and conditions are relatively high, automobile manufacturers must carefully consider whether they need to meet production capacity needs.

If the market's acceptance capacity plummets, so many workers trained will be wasted, and there will undoubtedly be only a loss in job relocation.

Therefore, the production capacity of 240 cars per day has already exceeded the production capacity of the Beijing Automobile Factory. Whether it can be accepted by the market will be questioned.

——

"Except for special application vehicles and small fleets, all official vehicles in the factory have been replaced by Antelopes."

The person responsible for picking up Li Xuewu and his party was Zhang Shicheng, the new director of the External Liaison Office of the Administrative Committee Office.

That is, Cheng Kaiyuan's secretary in the courtyard, who takes over Sha Qizhi's class.

"When I came out this morning, I applied for a car with the leader, and the deputy director of the division also mentioned your car."

Zhang Shicheng and Li Xuewu sat in a row and reported with a smile: "The command vehicle you are using now is not suitable."

"Um--"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Thank you, deputy director of the division, for your concern. I really haven't thought about this problem."

"I still understand you better."

Zhang Shicheng smiled and said: "I have seen that car. It has more professional equipment, but it is modified after all."

"And, as the designer of the Red Star Antelope, maybe you should set an example?"

He used a question here, which seemed very funny. Seeing Li Xuewu smile, he also laughed.

"I also heard that Director Li once approved a Volga M24 to you, but you rejected it, right?"

"Well, it doesn't count as rejection."

Li Xuewu looked at the scenery outside the window. Hot air was blowing in from the car window, especially at this time when the passenger car technology was immature and the road conditions were very bumpy.

He paused and explained: "That quota is given to the Tianjin Trade Management Office for official reception vehicles."

"I would also like to say that you are noble and honorable."

Zhang Shicheng said with sincere eyes and admiration: "If the leader gives me such a good car, I won't be willing to let it go."

"Hehehe——"

Li Xuewu chuckled, looked back at him, and asked, "How are you in your new position?"

He looked at the other party. Instead of being cautious as a secretary, he now looked high-spirited.

"I have to thank Deputy Director Sha for his good job!"

Zhang Shicheng is very good at talking. Of course he knows who Sha Qi is, and he must be grateful at this time.

Of course, the deputy director Sha referred to here is not the former deputy director of the General Office of the Security Department, but the deputy director of the Trade Management Center.

"During the handover, Deputy Director Sha gave me a lot of help and introduced me to the working relationship."

Zhang Shicheng spoke very sincerely, nodding and saying: "After I took over, the team of the Foreign Affairs Office worked smoothly and continued to serve the leaders and the factory. This is my biggest gain."

"Haha, I'm optimistic about you."

Li Xuewu chuckled lightly and did not care that the other party put the leader at the front of the factory among the service targets.

While looking at the other party, he nodded and praised: "You have potential in this area."

! ! !

Zhou Miaomiao, who was sitting in the back and listening to their conversation, was suddenly startled. Why did these words sound so familiar?

Peng Xiaoli, who was sitting next to her, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep.

But the conversation between the leader and Zhang Shicheng came clearly to his ears.

This guy is really like a "Zhongshan wolf", he will run rampant when he succeeds."

Just after being in charge for a few days, he dared to stand up and spread the word for others.

Everyone can see the significance of Shi Ruoweng's return, and why did Li Xuewu choose to go out for research at this time?

Zhang Shicheng has been following Cheng Kaiyuan for such a long time, can't you tell?

Peng Xiaoli knew that he did it on purpose.

Whether it was Cheng Kaiyuan's instruction, or how he and Shi Ruoweng got together, or what hints he got from Li Huaide.

In short, anyone who dared to persuade Li Xuewu to change his car from the very beginning is finally done with his life.

Whether the weak teacher wants to show his kindness or demonstrate, it is quite interesting to use Zhang Shicheng to test Li Xuewu.

In the past few days since he was recalled to the Red Star Factory by Director Li, he and Li Xuewu should not have met yet.

Perhaps he sensed the implication of Li Xuewu going out for research, including his trip to Yingcheng and Jinmen.

After all, he had been in Yingcheng for more than half a year. Why did Li Xuewu go to Yingcheng?

Another one, Xie Lanzhi, president of the United Savings Bank, suddenly went to Tianjin to investigate the arrangement.

The profound meaning in this is too great. The weak teacher has gone through the education of labor reform in the camp, and he will be in trouble whenever there is a disturbance.

Zhang Shicheng was arranged to test and eliminate the superficial nonsense. The core purpose was to determine whether Li Xuewu had put him in the target position.

That is: Do you want to kill him?

——

"Comrades have all worked hard, so I won't say a few words."

Li Xuewu stood beside the bus, looked at the research team and said, "Today is Monday, which is the busiest time in the factory."

"The leader is eager to know the results of our investigation, so I am very sorry."

"Hehehe——"

Everyone has learned from the research schedule that there will be no rest on Sunday, and they will have to continue working when they come back today.

But this can't be blamed on Li Xuewu, after all, the leader also accompanies them to work.

This is the case at this time. Even on Sundays, the factory will organize voluntary labor.

Like cleaning the workshop, refurbishing parts, repairing this and that, there is no serious rest time anyway.

But since the leader has made his words clear and made enough gestures, everyone will naturally give him face.

Li Xuewu looked at everyone and smiled, then he also smiled and waved his hands, saying: "I will be the master once, Saturday!"

"All members of the research team will go back and make it clear to the person in charge. Just say what I said. You will have Saturday off."

After he finished speaking, some of the dozen or so people had not yet reacted, and some had already reacted. Seeing that the others were silent, they half-smiled.

Zhou Miaomiao was still brave and said with a smile: "The leader means that Saturday and Sunday are two consecutive days off. Is that true, leader?"

"That's right——"

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said, "I can't decide on my own working days, but I can still decide on your working days."

"oh--"

After determining the rest time, these dozen people laughed in unison, cheered and clapped.

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded to everyone and said: "I have already supplied you with supplies during the holidays, but the research report——"

"Leader, you don't need to tell me, I'll write it now!"

"That's right! Leader, I will definitely sort it out before get off work today!"

…

The crowd all agreed, and after Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hands, they dispersed.

Carrying their luggage and the gifts they bought, they rushed back to their respective office buildings and raced against time to complete the task.

"The comrades are very enthusiastic!"

Zhang Shicheng said with a smile: "In terms of management and inspiration, I want to learn more from you, the leader."

"Although not taking a vacation is also a work and organizational necessity, taking a day off together can be more inspiring and stimulate work enthusiasm."

"Director Zhang, you are already very powerful now," Peng Xiaoli interrupted at the right time: "I have to learn from you in terms of humility."

"Hahaha--"

Zhang Shicheng smiled and shook hands with Li Xuewu, glanced at Peng Xiaoli and said goodbye.

The trap in what he said just now was so obvious that it was inappropriate for Li Xuewu to speak or not.

But with Peng Xiaoli beside him, it seemed that his words were not aimed at Li Xuewu, but Peng Xiaoli.

"It's interesting——"

Li Xuewu glanced at the other person's back and said to Peng Xiaoli: "Learn a little bit, look at me."

"Yes, leader——"

Peng Xiaoli curled his lips and looked at Zhang Shicheng's back full of contempt and ridicule.

Of course, the leader didn't ask him to learn from the other party. He just told him to keep an eye on the other party.

Be obedient and listen to the voice. What can Zhang Shicheng learn from? What can he learn from following the leader?

——

"Hello, Deputy Director Li——"

Li Xuewu turned around and was about to go to the main office building to report to Li Huaide when he heard a greeting.

"Oh, Zhou Tan?"

He smiled and nodded, motioned to Zhou Miaomiao who was standing beside him and asked, "Are you here to pick up your partner?"

"yes--"

Zhou Tan pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose with some embarrassment and explained: "I asked for leave from the factory to prepare for the marriage."

He motioned to Zhou Miaomiao and said: "Miaomiao will also ask for leave from the factory, we..."

"No need to invite me. I'll just tell the personnel later."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Others are busy with the summary report of the research, so they just went to work today."

He looked at Zhou Miaomiao and said, "Comrade Zhou Miaomiao told me that you plan to register your marriage tomorrow?"

"It's a good thing——"

Seeing Zhou Tan nod, he smiled and said, "Congratulations on your marriage. You have worked hard this time. Please take a few more days of rest during the wedding vacation."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Li——"

Zhou Miaomiao thanked Zhou Tan with a smile, and explained to Zhou Tan: "Deputy Director Li promised me to ask for ten more days of leave for me."

"Ah! Really——"

Zhou Tan glanced at her in surprise, turned back to look at Li Xuewu gratefully and said, "Thank you, leader, for taking care of me."

"I know you arranged for her to do research to take care of us..."

"Why--"

Li Xuewu smiled, waved his hand, and said politely: "I can't help you either, so you're welcome."

He motioned to Zhou Miaomiao and said, "I'm just helping Comrade Zhou Miaomiao to cheer up and encourage us."

"This has been a huge help to me."

Zhou Miaomiao trimmed the hair around her ears and said, "I won't disturb your work. Let's go back."

"Okay, congratulations again."

Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand. Seeing them leaving, he said to Peng Xiaoli: "Look at me, you should work hard."

"……yes……"

The corners of Peng Xiaoli's mouth twitched, and he resisted the impulse and agreed.

What can he say, that I like your sister and you let me work hard?

If I want to tell you, you must first promise not to beat me to death!

Also, let me "learn" from Zhang Shicheng, what should I learn from Zhou Tan and Zhou Miaomiao?

I don't want to learn from them!

——

"dad--"

As soon as Li Xuewu entered the hospital, he saw Li Shu running over enthusiastically.

"Dad, I miss you so much——"

"Hey, hey, your dad is here!"

Li Xuewu squatted down funny, touched his daughter's face with his hand and said, "You miss me, but look at me!"

"I-I-I miss you so much-"

Li Shu's eyes were already attracted by the box that Uncle Han moved out from the back of the car.

What I said to my father at this moment was obviously less about expectations and more about coping.

Even the words I said about missing you were perfunctory. Her little hands were around his neck, and her legs were kicking up to want him to hug her.

How about holding it up?

"I want to see-"

Li Shu was held in her father's arms, craning her neck to look at the boxes her uncle had moved into the yard.

"It seems that you are not thinking about me, but about delicious food——"

Li Xuewu said regretfully: "Well, since Li Shu doesn't want me, let Uncle Han take all these delicious things home."

"No! I, I miss you-"

When Li Shu heard her father say this, she reluctantly looked away from the car.

She tried her best to be serious, held her father's face in her little hands, kissed him, and said, "I miss you so much."

"Really? I don't believe-"

Li Xuewu looked at his daughter with pretense of suspicion, pointed to the other side of her face and said, "Unless you kiss dad again."

"MUA——"

Li Shu kissed her exaggeratedly, with an expression of helplessness in dealing with her old father, and asked: "Is it okay now?"

"That depends on how you behave in the future."

Li Xuewu pretended to be arrogant and said: "But your performance just now deserves a new toy as a reward."

"Hahaha--"

Li Shu was about to pout because of her father's first sentence, but she laughed out loud because of the second half of her father's sentence.

She pouted and gestured into the room, asking her father to find the new toy he had brought back for her.

"Why did you buy so many things?"

Liu Yin stood in the foyer holding the fat Li Ning. Watching the two men enter the house, she asked, "Didn't you go to Jinmen?"

"It was a gift from a friend." Li Xuewu placed his daughter on the floor of the house and greeted Ji Yuxiu who was waiting at the entrance: "Yuxiu is here."

"Second brother——"

Ji Yuxiu greeted with a smile and took the initiative to help Li Xuewu take the luggage in his hand.

"Knowing that you were coming back today, I came here specially to wait for you."

"Don't you come here usually?"

Li Xuewu didn't rush to ask her why she came. If there was something urgent, she could call him in the office.

Another thing, Ji Yuxiu is now a cadre of the branch, so it is very convenient to just pick him up.

"Isn't it usually busy-"

Ji Yuxiu smiled and found an excuse that was not a reason, but she also knew that her second brother would not care about this.

She rarely comes here on weekdays. One is because she is really busy with work, and the other is that her mother-in-law-to-be is here, and she is a little afraid of Li Xuewu.

Therefore, I can come here once a month, and at other times I can only get together when Li Xuewu and his family return to the courtyard.

"Jingru went to buy soy sauce and will be back soon."

Seeing Li Xuewu glance at the luggage at the door, which Han Jiankun had just brought in, Liu Yin explained.

She gestured to the people upstairs and said, "It's been a tiring day, and I won't be able to rest even after returning from a business trip. I'll go wash up and change clothes first."

"Okay, tell Jingru to prepare two more dishes for Yuxiu."

He teased his son and joked at the same time: "I'll save your third daughter-in-law from visiting you."

"How can there be——"

Ji Yuxiu said embarrassedly: "Second brother, just hurt me!"

"Go quickly, make trouble—"

Liu Yin patted her son with a smile and motioned for him to go upstairs quickly, "We'll have dinner when Xiao Ning comes back."

——

"You're not going to eat?"

Li Xuewu glanced at his daughter who was still playing with toys on the sofa and reminded her: "Dad is going to eat up all the delicious food."

"Giggle——"

Li Shu couldn't stand her father's squeaking, so she laughed loudly and twisted her body.

She held up the toy in her hand and said, "Daddy, I love this."

"Okay, as long as my daughter likes it," Li Xuewu said seriously: "When dad goes to Jinmen for a business trip again, I can buy it for Li Shu, okay?"

"good--"

Li Shu obediently put down the metal tank in her hand, hugged her father's neck and said, "Dad, work hard and try to travel more."

"hehe--"

Li Xuewu was about to be laughed out of anger by his daughter. I am not yet 70 or 80 years old. Are you trying to drive me away?

"Okay, Dad, work hard and try to travel more often, so that Li Shu can miss Dad often, right?"

He carried his daughter to the restaurant, wanting to correct her thoughts, which could be regarded as a positive education of love.

Li Shu didn't need his education, and she kept her innocence and integrity.

"Dad, actually if you don't buy me toys, I'll miss you all the time-"

She patted her belly, indicating that she was thinking about her dad.

"Ah, my daughter is so good."

Li Xuewu walked into the restaurant and praised with a smile: "Then will Dad still need to buy toys for my daughter in the future?"

"Dad, I mean, I mean," Li Shu was put on the dining chair by her father. She tried to organize her words and said: "I miss you so much, do you have the nerve not to buy me toys?"

"Hahaha-"

Everyone in the restaurant laughed together, and Liu Yin tapped her granddaughter's nose and said angrily: "You little clever ghost!"

"Well, you can get your dad involved, okay!"

Qin Jingru smiled and gave Li Shu a thumbs up, teasing her: "When you grow up, maybe you will be more spoiled."

"You have too many thoughts ——"

After Li Xuewu sat down, he smiled and glanced at his daughter, saying, "Who did you learn from? Can't you learn from your father?"

"You think all these tricks are not enough?"

Liu Yin knew her son too well, and joked, "If I learn from you again, I'm afraid no one can control me."

"Hehe——"

Li Shu seemed to know that everyone was talking about her, and smiled and said, "I want to learn, I want to be as beautiful as my mother."

"Oh, it's incredible——"

Ji Yuxiu smiled and looked at Li Shu, saying, "Your father asked you to learn more from him, and you really learned it."

"If you coax your mother well, no one in this family can control you."
