Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Why are you looking at me?"

Li Xuewu took a bite of the steamed bun, looked up and saw Li Xue staring at him.

"What, do you like this one in my hand?"

He gave up the steamed bun in his hand and said, "Is it for you?"

"Qi——"

Li Xue glanced at him with disdain, scooped a mouthful of porridge with a spoon and drank it.

"Don't think I don't know anything."

"I thought you didn't know anything?"

Li Xuewu picked up a small pickle with chopsticks, looked at the girl, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Humph——"

Li Xue snorted, turned her head away, and said, "You know it in your heart, I'm too lazy to say it."

"Then there's nothing to talk about?"

Li Xuewu tilted his head indifferently and continued to eat breakfast.

The more delicious the second brother ate, the angrier Li Xue felt.

Eat, eat, eat, what's wrong with never having eaten steamed buns!

"Were you together last night?"

"Who?"

Li Xuewu raised his head calmly, looked at his sister and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I saw it all--"

Li Xue curled her lips, lowered her head and dared not look at her second brother.

But she still said unforgivingly, "Can you please stop doing this? It has a bad influence."

"Comrade Li Xue?"

Li Xuewu put down the steamed bun in his hand, looked at his sister seriously and said, "I am both your second brother and your leader."

"If you want to talk to your second brother, then do as you please and speak freely. As a brother, I will definitely tolerate you."

"But if you want to talk to your leader, then you should correct your attitude, tell the facts, and speak the truth. You can't just talk nonsense."

"Who is talking nonsense--"

Li Xue raised her head and wanted to refute, but when she saw her second brother's face, she lost her confidence and courage.

So, she could only whisper, "I just saw it."

"Who did you see?"

Li Xuewu picked up the steamed bun and asked, "Where did you go, what did you do?"

While talking, he ate, as if he was asking about someone else's business.

Li Xue hesitated, drank half a bowl of white porridge, and then said, "I saw her coming out of your room this morning."

"That's it?"

Li Xuewu glanced at the opposite side calmly, took a bite of pickles, and said, "You are the secretary of Deputy Director Jing, why didn't you say hello when you saw her?"

"I--"

Li Xue was stunned by her second brother's question, feeling so wronged and sad.

Is it wrong for me not to say hello?

No, you guys are right to do that, right!

I gave you face and kept the name hidden, but you said it out loud.

Oh, by the way, what right do you have to say it out loud!

"Put away your pettiness——"

Li Xuewu pointed at the porridge in front of her, signaling her to eat well, and said: "Next time we meet, say hello."

"How do you say hello?"

Li Xue was furious, glared at her second brother and asked: "Should I call her the leader or my sister-in-law?"

"You can call her the land nanny, as long as you have a righteous heart and don't look crooked on anyone."

Li Xuewu said calmly: "Your second brother has no credibility in your mind, right?"

"Okay, then you tell me--"

Li Xue moved the porridge in front of her, folded her arms and leaned on the dining table, looked into her second brother's eyes and asked, "What did she do when she went to your place last night?"

"Playing poker, do you believe it?"

Li Xuewu pulled the corner of his mouth, rolled his eyes at his sister, and said, "You have such a rich imagination. You can think of what she did last night when you saw her this morning."

"What is this for? Bullfighting?"

The brother and sister were talking when Jing Yunong came over with a plate of food, accompanied by Dong Wenxue.

"Leader, good morning, Director Dong--"

Li Xue could no longer maintain the courage and determination just now. She glanced at her second brother with a guilty conscience and took the initiative to greet the two leaders.

"I was just saying, where did she go--"

Jing Yunong smiled and looked at Li Xue, then his eyes swept over Li Xuewu, and the coded telegram rang.

In just a moment, the two completed information sharing, just like that.

Don't ask, if you ask, there was technical communication.

"I got up early in the morning," Li Xue explained in a strange voice, "I walked around the courtyard and came to eat."

"How many times has Li Xue come to Gangcheng?"

Dong Wenxue knew her, of course, and said with a smile, "Your second brother comes here often, you should ask him to take you out for a walk."

"He..." Li Xue curled her lips and was about to say something, but she realized that the leader was here at the moment, so she could only mutter, "He's busy."

She didn't say what she was busy with, but she was busy anyway.

"That time in the morning?"

Jing Yunong seemed to ask casually, and then without waiting for Li Xue to answer, he continued, "We had a morning meeting."

"Ah?"

Li Xue was stunned, looking at Deputy Director Jing blankly, wondering if this was a code or a metaphor?

"I asked Peng Xiaoli to call you, but he didn't find you."

Jing Yunong nodded, not paying attention to her daze, and looked at Dong Wenxue and said, "I discussed it with Xuewu. We will visit the site in the morning and hold a meeting in the afternoon."

"Leader, the materials you asked for."

Peng Xiaoli came in from the restaurant door, found this side and handed a document to Li Xuewu.

"Hmm--"

Li Xuewu took it and put it aside, and said to Dong Wenxue, "I asked Xiaoli to ask the office for it this morning. There are many projects to look at today, so try to compress the time."

What the hell is going to--

Li Xue looked at his second brother blankly, then at Deputy Director Jing, and finally at Peng Xiaoli.

You're just pretending to be me, right?

Sorry, what I saw was the meeting scene. Did I miss the morning meeting?

Peng Xiaoli also noticed Li Xue's gaze, but he didn't know what happened.

What are you looking at? What do you want to ask me?

You do speak! Li Xue?

——

"The second phase of the No. 7 furnace of the steelmaking plant has been completed."

Dong Wenxue, wearing a rattan safety helmet and an administrative suit, stood at the construction site and introduced: "It is expected that the furnace will be opened by the end of October."

"How long did this phase of the project take?"

Li Xuewu clasped his hands behind his back, looked up at the tower, and said, "The Shengtaya Group has given me an accurate letter."

"All technology introduction projects will be delivered on time."

He looked away from the tower, looked at Dong Wenxue and said, "As long as our project progress can keep up, as long as our delivery speed can keep up."

"Did you talk to Chantal, the president of Sentaya Group?"

Dong Wenxue nodded in understanding, and walked forward with the two of them, saying, "There will be absolutely no problems with the construction of the project. This can be guaranteed."

"How to improve the delivery speed?"

Before Li Xuewu could answer, he smiled and said, "Should it be calculated according to the contract period or our production period?"

"No matter which standard I use, I hope the sooner the better—"

"Of course," Li Xuewu nodded and agreed: "If we can guarantee the construction period, quality and quantity, of course it is better to overpower the other party."

With that said, he smiled at Dong Wenxue and Jing Yunong and said, "In this way, I can also challenge the negotiation table, right?"

"Hahaha--"

The main projects that Santaya Group cooperates with Hongxing Factory are all in the Northeast.

To be precise, in Gangcheng and Yingcheng.

The Yingcheng project is relatively simple. Shengtaya Group provides large-scale shipbuilding technology and mechanical equipment, and Hongxing Factory produces the first 10,000-ton cargo ship on its behalf.

Of course, this freighter was delivered in the name of credit, and more freighters will be used to offset debt in the future.

Generally speaking, Sentaya Group is cautious about domestic cooperative investments.

Especially what happened last week has made this confidence even worse.

It can be seen from the cooperation projects and investment returns that the French are still too cautious compared to Italian businessmen.

The cooperation between Geely Star Shipping Company and Hongxing Factory still focuses on long-term stability.

This has something to do with the fact that Geely Star Ship's trading place is in the port city, and the other party is more confident.

On the other hand, the French will see immediate returns every time they invest.

Even the engineering and technical teams that provide free assistance must always collect feedback on the construction situation.

In the Steel City Industrial Zone, the French need construction machinery, steel structures, machinery and special vehicles, etc.

The Red Star Factory has already made some orders into joint trade and transferred them to the Tianjin Trade Management Platform.

In other words, some machinery and parts, steel structure workpieces, special vehicles, etc., will be purchased by Red Star Factory through bidding from domestic factories and then resold to the Sentaya Group.

Of course, the standards are set by the Red Star Factory, and the production process and quality have long been documented.

Especially for special vehicles, the Hongxing Factory Trade Management Center bundles orders with the auto parts supply chain.

Only member units of the Trade Management Center can receive these orders.

If you eat foreign trade, you will eat domestic trade, and if you eat domestic trade, you will lose foreign trade.

It is said that Deputy Director Li is the best at tricking foreigners, and this rumor has been proven true.

Li Xuewu went to Yingcheng to inspect, mainly to keep an eye on the manufacturing preparations for the 10,000-ton giant ship.

If he can take out the ship as a weight in advance, he can also urge the Sentaya Group to fulfill the contract as soon as possible.

Because the steelmaking plant as a whole is undergoing iterative updates of industrial equipment and technology.

He has already negotiated with the French and asked for the most advanced steel rolling and smelting technology in the world.

Once the technology and equipment arrive in batches and sections, the engineering here must be well coordinated to achieve production and mass production as soon as possible.

When I came to Steel City this time, the first stop was to inspect the steelmaking plant. The purpose was also to take a look at the construction progress here.

What is satisfactory is that the overall situation in the Gangcheng Industrial Zone is stable and there are not so many unstable factors.

Dong Wenxue, who has gained wisdom after learning from the mistakes, has been working here for two years and has long been cruel.

Earlier, Yang Zongfang dared to jump up and bite people like this, but now if you look at him, he only behaves with his tail between his legs.

On the other hand, Dong Wenxu's temperament has become more calm and gentle, and he has a natural demeanor when talking and laughing. He does not have a lot of violence, but he is respectable enough.

——

The three leaders walked in front, followed by two team members, several accompanying researchers and secretaries.

Li Xue blocked Peng Xiaoli with her elbow, and the two of them slowed down and fell behind.

"What are you doing? What happened?"

"Keep your voice down——"

Li Xue glared at Peng Xiaoli and asked softly: "My second brother... Deputy Director Li asked you to find me this morning?"

"No, it's Deputy Director Jing."

When Peng Xiaoli saw her asking about this, he thought it was because he was minding about the morning meeting.

He took the initiative to explain: "Deputy Director Li asked me to go over for a meeting. When he saw that you were not there, the leader asked me to find you."

"What's wrong?"

"fine--"

Li Xue nodded with an embarrassed expression and said, "I didn't make it to the morning meeting. Just ask."

What else could she ask? Should she ask if Deputy Director Jing was there when you entered my second brother's room?

After all, that was her second brother, the other was her leader, and Peng Xiaoli was an outsider.

If she really asked that, whether Peng Xiaoli dared to say it was one thing, and he must have been thinking wildly.

Thinking of her second brother's frankness in the morning and the words he said to her, Li Xue was also vague.

Did she really blame her second brother wrongly?

"Actually, it's nothing. We just talked about what we were going to see today and asked me to prepare some materials in advance and make good arrangements for the trip."

Peng Xiaoli didn't know what she was thinking, and thought she was afraid of being scolded by her leader and was worried here.

So he counseled Li Xue on his own, talked about the morning meeting, and took the initiative to ask Li Xue if she wanted those materials, and he took an extra copy.

"Thank you--"

Li Xue pulled the corner of her mouth and tried to smile and thank him.

This kid said a lot of nonsense, but not a single useful word.

You should tell me whether Deputy Director Jing was there when you went to the room!

"Why are you being so polite to me——"

Peng Xiaoli walked closer and asked in a low voice: "You accompanied Deputy Director Jing to travel around most of China and stayed in Fengcheng for such a long time. It must be very hard, right?"

"It's okay. It's my first time going far away."

Li Xue glanced at him, took one more step to the side, and quietly distanced herself.

Ordinary colleagues, don't get too close, it's not good.

Obviously, Peng Xiaoli paused in his tone, and felt Li Xue's sensitivity.

This is really...

Now everyone in the factory knows Li Xue's identity and background. How many young people don't want to pursue her?

There's no need to mention her appearance, personality, and education level. Just because of Li Xuewu, she will definitely work less for ten years.

The children of the factory leaders are not around, otherwise they would have been targeted long ago.

Of course, there are also reasons for not wanting to give up on themselves.

I heard that Kumamoto Cheng's daughter looks ugly enough and has never found a suitable partner.

Lao Xiong did find a few young people in the factory, but as soon as they were arranged to go on a blind date, those young people ran away.

It can only be said that young people these days are still much purer.

The two people walking behind did not speak for a long time, and the atmosphere became more awkward.

Peng Xiaoli wanted to find a topic to talk about, after all, opportunities like this are rare.

But his mind was in a mess now, and he forgot what to talk about for a while.

And Li Xue was still struggling whether she had misunderstood her second brother, and she was silent at this moment.

It was not until they finished looking at the steel mill and moved to the next factory that the two followed.

It was just that there was a little more embarrassment when their eyes touched.

——

Started at 8:30 in the morning, had a simple working lunch at noon, and continued to walk until 3:30 in the afternoon.

Steel mills, hardware factories, electronics factories, motorcycle factories, automobile factories, bus factories, special vehicle factories, etc.

It also includes aircraft factories, rolling mills, chemical plants, power plants, etc. that are being planned and constructed.

At the electronics factory, Jing Yunong and Li Xuewu learned in detail about the technology and production of various electrical appliances.

They visited several electrical production lines and investigated the storage and management of electrical parts warehouses.

The group stopped and walked, and they were not just taking a quick look.

Both Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong were particularly concerned about the current key projects of the Red Star Factory.

There may be some shortcomings in the technical level, but in terms of products and management, both of them can ask and explain clearly.

This puts a lot of pressure on the on-site management person in charge, who is afraid that the answer will not be good and the leader will see it.

Li Xuewu is in Gangcheng, and of course he will not pretend to be mysterious with Dong Wenxue.

The problems he saw on the spot were raised on the spot, and he did not tell the on-site management, but directly to Dong Wenxue.

He did not dwell on the problems, but discussed the causes of the problems.

All problems at the grassroots level can be answered from the management, and it is not okay to be loose or tight.

Jing Yunong and Dong Wenxue are at the same level, and the stalls they manage are both large and important.

However, one is in the government and the other is in the local area, so they are easy to talk to each other.

Only Li Xuewu was not polite to Dong Wenxue and made many suggestions on the production management and organizational construction of the professional factory.

In contrast, the person in charge of Gangcheng Industry paid more attention to Li Xuewu's opinions and attitude.

Not to mention the rumors, just looking at the relationship between Li Xuewu and Dong Wenxue, they have to pay attention.

Moreover, these problems are real, and Li Xuewu did not target that person. He just said that everyone present was rubbish.

There is really no way, especially for grassroots managers.

The more grassroots managers, the more limited their vision and cognition. Often, when they talk about the problem, Li Xuewu already understands it very well.

For them, it is a problem, but here Li Xuewu can easily come up with two or three solutions.

Moreover, these solutions can be recognized by grassroots management, and they really feel the gap between them.

Therefore, Li Xuewu, who always speaks with substance, seems to have become the protagonist of this investigation.

He always evaluates the project after the investigation.

Jing Yunong also admired Li Xuewu's talent and ability, especially his ability to find the right balance between being practical and idealistic.

He was a bit vulgar when he spoke, especially to the squad leaders and section leaders below him, and if you didn't pay attention, there would be some noise.

Hey, the strange thing is that these people below are willing to listen to him.

Li Xuewu listened to the report on the spot and asked questions to the workers and the team leader. He laughed and scolded if it was good or not.

These people can often quickly understand what was done well and what was not done well while being laughed and scolded by him.

When answering Li Xuewu, the smile on his face was very sincere.

You always say that leaders should be educated and speak politely, but leaders who really know how to speak are more likely to get the support of grassroots employees.

Laughing and scolding is also a learning. Who dares to say that Li Xuewu has no culture and no talent.

Go to the Red Star Factory to ask, the old writer dare not brag that his articles are invincible in the factory.

Deputy Director Li rarely writes now, but as long as there is an article, it must be published in a major newspaper.

At the very least, it is a major newspaper such as "Steel Daily", and even "People's Daily" will publish and reprint it.

He can use the most ordinary words to write the most vivid and touching articles, with detailed content, rich emotions and outstanding thoughts.

It is precisely because he writes good articles, but he has a face of a gangster, and he speaks humorously and with connotation. Do you think that 30-year-old aunts love him?

I don’t know whether the aunts love him or not, but the grassroots cadres of Gangcheng Industry respect and love him.

The leaders above may be afraid of Deputy Director Li coming to Gangcheng to take office, but they are more looking forward to it.

Why?

Because such leaders tell you how to be idealistic, and really require you to be pragmatic.

Should the grassroots really be idealistic?

There is no need to think about this question, it is a life-or-death question, and the answer is necessary.

Life is the life of the future and the life of the organization.

Just look up and see the slogans hanging in the factory building, grasp the ideology and grasp the production.

Do you think the grassroots should be idealistic?

But how the grassroots should be pragmatic, how to be pragmatic, and to what extent, this is a question.

The scale and degree are of course controlled by the leaders above. Today’s research work, these people below think that Deputy Director Li has a good control.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.

And Deputy Director Jing also thinks that he has a good control, grasping both hands, and grasping both hands.

——

"You really don't smoke anymore?"

Dong Wenxue looked at his student, nodded with a smile, and said, "Good, great perseverance."

"Don't praise me, what kind of great perseverance is this."

Li Xuewu looked at him with a smile and asked, "Did Teacher Han force you to quit smoking?"

"Ah——"

Dong Wenxue sighed, looked at him with some resentment, and said, "How did you quit?"

"You want to ask me why I don't smoke anymore, right?"

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "It's useless, don't think about getting me to continue smoking, a real man should quit smoking when he says he wants to."

"This is a good thing——"

Dong Wenxue looked at the cigarette in his hand with a little melancholy, and reluctantly put it aside.

It's a bit of a pity, now he's smoking a panda.

The panda cigarettes mentioned here are not the red pandas that we know later, and even the manufacturers are different.

The ones mentioned here are produced by the Magic City Cigarette Factory in 1955 and 1960, which are real TG cigarettes.

How to say it, the cigarette manufacturing standard is benchmarked against the most famous foreign cigarette brand at that time, 35 (555).

Dong Wenxue can afford this and it is classy, ​​but Li Xuewu still loves the dream of hutong kids, Daqianmen.

It's a pity that he still has Daqianmen in his hand, but there are too few people who can let him take the initiative to give cigarettes.

I'll waste a few more words here. Young people are just entering the society and working hard. Even if you don't smoke, you should bring a box of slightly classy cigarettes in your pocket.

When you go out, you still have to save face with 30 or 50 yuan.

You don't have to give away cigarettes to everyone. Good brothers and good friends know that you don't smoke, and they will not ask you for cigarettes if they are sensible.

If you are really shameless and say something like "I don't want to share cigarettes with you", "I don't want to give them to you", "I don't want to give them to you", etc., the purpose is to stay away from the person who asks you for cigarettes as soon as possible.

If you lack self-control and the ability to think for your friends, why are you still around?

You only need to give away cigarettes to people you meet for the first time, people who need help, or people who can help you.

Of course, the cigarettes you give away may not necessarily bring you any benefits, and those people may not necessarily help you.

But as you pass cigarettes around, you will know who you should pass them to, and you will develop your ability to judge people.

Because every cigarette you pass around costs a few dollars, which also indicates the time cost of your interactions with people.

Over time, while you improve your ability to judge people and your social skills, you can also reduce ineffective social interactions.

Of course, this is advice for young people. If you don't know how to pass cigarettes and light them, learn from your father or someone who knows this.

The person who receives your cigarette should first look at your gestures, then see what cigarette you offer, and finally see if you smoke.

You don't smoke but you bring cigarettes and fire, and they are so expensive, and you use your heart to do it. What do you think of him?

Finally, when you go out, your identity is given by yourself. If you emphasize your personality and create a healthy personality, just treat what I said as bullshit.

Li Xuewu really made up his mind to quit smoking. Old Li, who is so good, can quit smoking, so why can't he quit smoking?

You should be consistent with your leaders, understand?

Someone in the factory had said that Li Xuewu would even quit smoking to please Director Li. If a person like him doesn't make progress, who will?

So the weird thing is that some young people in the factory have begun to study and learn Li Xuewu's personality and style of doing things in private.

Including words, deeds, writing style and talent, as long as someone records it, they will study, imitate and learn.

The most serious and the most like-minded here is Li Huaide's secretary Li Haiyang.

This kid really wants to improve.

Except Peng Xiaoli, who is close to the water tower and gets the moon first, how can others have so many opportunities to follow Li Xuewu's ass and learn.

Most of them see and hear, and learn a few tricks.

Li Haiyang has more opportunities. This kid even writes down everything Li Xuewu says, and then tries to learn.

It can be called crazy, really scary.

You see, today Li Xuewu tied a black belt, tomorrow all the young people tied black.

The next day Li Xuewu changed to a brown one, and the third day all the young people changed to brown.

Many people know that Li Xuewu quit smoking, but he still has the habit of passing cigarettes in his daily work or life.

For example, when he was in a meeting, the internal office meeting of the security team, Li Xuewu would pass a wave of cigarettes before speaking.

For example, when he held a field meeting, he could prepare a few boxes of cigarettes to distribute to the team leaders or workers on site.

Every time he went to the workshop, the factory workers were like huskies waiting to be fed, with their eyes wide open.

Li Huaide once privately commented on Li Xuewu's style, calling it a gangster style.

In fact, Lao Li himself is also like this, and his cultural level is not as good as Li Xuewu.

If they were really of the same age and entered the Red Star Factory together, he would not even need to carry Li Xuewu's shoes.

Li Xuewu's teacher, Dong Wenxue, is exactly the opposite in character, a scholar's temperament.

The teacher and student sitting together are very contrasting, and even talking about homely things is funny.

——

"You know cigars? Thick ones."

Li Xuewu put down the cigarette box in his hand, looked at Dong Wenxue and said, "No matter how good this cigarette is, it's harmful to your health. Quit it and smoke cigars instead."

"I'll let Biaozi talk to the ship and I'll give you a Brazilian cigar later."

He introduced with a sly smile, "It's said that the thing was rubbed by a girl on her big white legs."

"What nonsense?"

Dong Wenxue glanced at him and said, "Biaozi didn't get cocky, so you're going to get cocky——"

"Just for a puff of cigarette, you went so far? And you rubbed it on your thighs, what if it was rubbed by an old lady? Hahaha——"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, quit it, don't let you corrupt me."

"Hahaha——"

Li Xuewu also laughed. He was just talking nonsense. If Dong Wenxue really agreed, he would report it to Teacher Han when he returned to Beijing.

"This time, looking at your expression and the state of Steel City Industry, it is much healthier than before."

"How can it be healthy?"

Dong Wenxue crossed his legs, pointed at his face with a smile, and said, "It's almost the same color as donkey dung."

"Stop talking nonsense, I want to ask you--"

He adjusted his expression, looked at Li Xuewu seriously and asked, "Will there be repetitions and fluctuations in the Santaya Group?"

"It's hard to say--"

When Li Xuewu heard him ask this, the smile on his face also disappeared, replaced by sorrow and worry.

"That day I sat with her for most of the day in the International Hotel, just to keep her stable."

What happened on Friday was very important, including what happened in the city, including the situation encountered in the International Hotel, Li Xuewu reported everything to the Management Committee.

Even when he sat in the lounge with Chantal, the information he passed to them was urged by Li Huaide to be handled urgently.

You can see that Li Xuewu was very calm and composed at that time, because there was a large group of people working behind him.

The purpose was to limit the impact of the unexpected situation that day on the collective cooperation between Red Star Factory and Santaya.

This was a pure disaster, and the timing was so tight that it was done.

Even if it was a few months later, Santaya could have deepened its cooperation with Red Star Factory in the mainland, had more ties, and invested more.

It was just the beginning of the contract performance, and the cooperation between the two parties had just begun to establish normal procedures, and then this happened.

Old Li was so angry that he jumped up and down in the factory, but Li Xuewu had to be calm and steady, and he had to keep Chantal steady.

He planted nails in Chantal's heart and dug mines at that time, with the purpose of keeping Chantal in the International Hotel.

But the matter ended very quickly, and someone from the French Foreign Affairs Embassy came to pick him up, and Li Xuewu didn't dare to stop him.

So this matter was a bit confusing, and he couldn't rush to contact the other party, so he could only speed up the progress of the factory as soon as possible.

After understanding the industrial base of Yingcheng and Gangcheng, we must formulate preventive measures as soon as possible.

If the Santaya Group really wants to withdraw or reduce cooperative projects, the Red Star Factory must be prepared to deal with it.

Dong Wenxue is the deputy director of the Management Committee and Li Xuewu's immediate superior, so he must inform him.

During the morning investigation, Li Xuewu naturally couldn't say discouraging words in front of so many people.

At this moment, there were only two teachers and students, and he couldn't hide his worries from Dong Wenxue.

"I can't be anxious now. I have to wait for the higher-ups to make a conclusion on this matter."

Li Xuewu let out a long breath, looked at Dong Wenxue who was frowning and about to touch a cigarette, and smiled bitterly: "Don't bear this pressure."

"I will try my best to maintain the situation in Beijing, and Director Li has also gone to the higher-ups to make activities, so this matter will soon have a result."

"What if?"

Dong Wenxue sighed, "I feel bad. How many years will it take for Red Star Factory to catch such a great opportunity? What if?"

"There is no way. All we can do is prepare for a rainy day."

Li Xuewu said seriously, "As for which cloud in the sky will rain or not, this is beyond human control."

"I hope it rains every day!"

Dong Wenxue let go of the cigarette box in his hand, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You are also worried enough. Is everything okay at home? Does Gu Ning complain that you don't take care of the family?"

"You know my principles for work. Don't mix public and private affairs," Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Work hard during work hours and take good care of the baby after get off work."

"Hehe——"

Dong Wenxue smiled and said, "Okay, you really act like a father. This principle must be maintained."

"It's difficult. The more work you do, the more you can do. You can never finish it."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He raised his head and said, "My daughter is the happiest when I come out. She asked me for toys and delicious food."

"Hahaha——"

Dong Wenxue thought of the cute little girl and asked with a smile, "Will she be able to go to kindergarten next year?"

"We'll see, she's a naughty girl."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "Gu Ning's kindergarten is right in front of our house, so it's convenient for her to go to school."

"Okay, you have elderly people at home to help you take care of her, which saves a lot of worry."

Dong Wenxue said with emotion, "Our Meng Yuan has been raised by the two of us since she was a child, so we don't want to have a second child."

"I would like to have more, I just like children."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "Gu Ning doesn't want any more, she thinks it's too troublesome, and she can't sleep well every night."

"Parents all over the world are pitiful——"

——

"Second brother? What are you doing?"

Li Xue came down from the upstairs of the guesthouse and asked when she saw that her second brother was about to go out.

Li Xuewu was about to leave, and he turned back to explain to her: "I'm afraid you'll worry and misunderstand me again, so I'm going to live outside."

"Cowardly--"

Li Xue may be self-doubting in her heart, but she will definitely stick to it on the surface.

I will never apologize, not apologizing is my last stubbornness on this matter.

"I don't know where you've been fooling around again--"

"Are you talking to me?"

Li Xuewu waited at the door with a smile, looked at her, and asked: "Go with me?"

"You want me to go with you?" Li Xue asked doubtfully: "Are you sure?"

"You, can you learn something good?"

Li Xuewu flicked her head and taught her a lesson: "Can you not frame your second brother with your crooked mind?"

"How can I call this... Then tell me," Li Xue pulled his arm and asked: "What are you going to do?"

" Go see Lao Biaozi and his daughter!" Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "I came all the way here, no matter how busy I am, I have to go and see them." "They are my beloved relatives and friends, brothers and sisters." He tapped Li Xue's forehead, who was full of surprise, and said: "This is the second time you have wronged me. I don't want a third time." "Really? Brother Biao gave birth to a daughter?" Li Xue blinked, looked at his second brother and asked: "Then I will go with you to see?" "It's up to you," Li Xuewu said and walked out. Dong Wenxue's car was already waiting at the door. Every time he came to Gangcheng, Dong Wenxue would lend his car to Li Xuewu. This has become a habit. Li Xue thought about it, looked at her clothes, and looked back upstairs. "Second brother, wait a minute!"

She hurriedly caught up with her second brother, took out five yuan from her pocket and handed it to him, saying, "I really can't leave the leader, please help me give a gift."

"If you really want to go, I'll just tell Deputy Director Jing."

Li Xuewu glanced at the girl and was about to turn around and go back to the guesthouse, but was stopped by Li Xue.

"I'm on a business trip, not a visit. How can I leave if you leave? It's so bad."

Li Xue pushed her second brother and stuffed the money into his pocket.

"Brother Biao treated me the best when he was at home. This gift money must be given."

This is true. He loves his wife and his family. After the recycling station made money, Lao Biaozi really cared about the Li family.

Especially for the youngest Li Xue, Li Xuewu gave her a limited amount of pocket money, but Lao Biaozi gave her countless pocket money and shopping.

"Okay, my sister has also learned the ways of the world."

Li Xuewu took her money with a smile, patted her arm and said, "This place is not like Beijing, don't go out alone at night."

After saying this, he got into the car with Li Xue's response.

Watching the car leave, Li Xue stood there and thought, is the second brother really staying at Brother Biao's house tonight?

That's impossible, is there such a way to visit relatives? ——

"Uncle——"

As soon as Li Xuewu entered the yard, he saw his godson Fu Zhidong flying out.

The short legs were struggling hard, as if he was about to fly.

When he got to him, he couldn't help but call him dad.

"Call if you want, what's the matter, are you afraid that I won't agree?"

Li Xuewu knew that children were sensitive, especially at this time, which was the critical period for character development.

Fu Zhidong was very sensible. He leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid that my mother will be sad."

"Good son——"

Li Xuewu nodded in understanding, patted his back and said: "Then this secret is known to the two of us."

"What are you two talking about?"

Zhou Yamei looked at her son who was picked up by Li Xuewu and muttered in his arms with amusement.

"Would you like to go in and have a drink of water? Or should we go now?"

"It's already this late, hurry up."

Li Xuewu urged: "Don't take anything, I've asked people to prepare it."

"What you prepare is yours, and what I prepare is mine."

Zhou Yamei brought out a basket of eggs and placed it at the door. After locking the door, she walked out with the eggs.

"If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have gone to see it a long time ago."

"Okay, I owe you a favor."

Li Xuewu sent Fu Zhidong to the back seat and said: "I will repay you for your kindness in the future."

"Go to hell——"

Zhou Yamei knew that this man was not decent, so she didn't show too much in front of the driver, but just glared at him with a scolding look.

However, when Li Xuewu held the car door and asked her to sit in the back, she still got in the car.

In this way, with Fu Zhidong in the middle, both of them sat in the back.

The driver was a good driver, deaf and dumb. When they arrived at Biaozi's house in the city, Li Xuewu gave way to him before he entered the house and sat down.

The table had been prepared long ago, and the dishes were put into the pot as soon as they arrived.

"Let me see what my daughter looks like--"

Li Xuewu took the baby from Lao Biaozi with a smile, and asked teasingly: "What's her name?"

"I haven't chosen it yet, I'm waiting for you to help me choose one."

Lao Biaozi said with a smile: "I said Li Fang, Li Hong, Li Lan, if it doesn't work, call her Li Xueqin, Qinglan doesn't agree."

"Your sister-in-law has a college education, you want me to name her?"

Li Xuewu kicked him with a smile, and said to the baby in his arms: "Look at your father, you can't be like this when you grow up."

"Several books have been read to pieces, think about one and decide one."

Lao Biaozi said with a wry smile: "Come up with an idea quickly, a good name like Li Shu will do."

"You are picking on me, right--"

Li Xuewu smiled and wanted to kick him again, saying: "That was given by my father!"

"Hahaha--"

Biaozi's real name is Li Wenbiao, and the child's mother is Mai Qinglan.
