Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Are you now also in charge of office business?"

Li Xuewu looked at Yang Zongfang who was sitting opposite him and asked in a gentle tone: "How is it? Are you busy?"

"Not easy, especially recently."

Yang Zongfang nodded, with a little more smile on his face, and said: "Of course, I can't compare with you."

The two people's experiences are somewhat similar, but his starting point is higher.

He was originally the head of the Discipline and Supervision Section 1, and he had participated in Li Xuewu's investigation.

Later, the organizational structure of Gangcheng Steel Plant was shaken, and Li Xuewu used him as a bargaining chip in front of Yang Yuansong, who was the secretary of the rolling mill at the time.

The original plan was to arrange him to cooperate with Dong Wenxue who came with him, but he didn't expect that this kid had a rebellious mind...

So Li Xuewu didn't indulge him at all, and he hit him hard.

His sentence "I can't compare with you" contains too much depression and helplessness.

Both are deputy directors, one is a powerful cadre in charge of two departments in the main factory, and the other is a powerful cadre in charge of two departments in the branch factory.

Just tell me, how can he balance his mind?

Another thing is that he, a powerful cadre, is still a bit watered down.

The security team of the branch factory is incomparable to that of the main factory, because the discipline inspection work is in the hands of Dong Wenxue.

He is now doing office work, but that is because the former office director Liao Jinhui will be transferred normally and no one has been added yet.

Anyone can do it, why did Dong Wenxue choose him?

This is simply a game of cat and mouse!

Dong Wenxue has already got him, and doesn't care if he jumps at this time, and even has a chance to beat him up.

Does he dare to jump? Not at all.

Yang Yuansong was defeated and fled to Maicheng, and he had no preparations for his generals.

So he is now a donkey dung egg, just a shiny surface, and he knows what he really is.

"What? You still envy my job?"

Li Xuewu smiled and glanced at him, saying: "Want to transfer back to the factory?"

"I will listen to the organization's arrangements--"

Yang Zongfang smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, and didn't seem to care about the temptation in Li Xuewu's words.

Going back to the factory at this time? You have a fart in your brain!

I don't know how many people in the factory want to transfer out now. Various specialized factories and branches are about to be established. It's the time for a large number of positions. Going back to the main factory now?

If you go back now, you will still be a deputy director. Not only will you lose an opportunity for advancement, but you will also waste the experience of this transfer.

You should take root here, work hard, find the right time, and upgrade.

But who is Li Xuewu? You can't disbelieve his words, but you can't believe them all, otherwise you will die without knowing how you died.

"Haha, it's okay, just chat."

Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "This time, Director Li also told me to listen to the opinions of comrades."

"You also know that our operating performance and production indicators this year are absolutely outstanding, and we will achieve phased progress at the beginning of next year."

He looked at Yang Zongfang and said, "Starting from the second half of this year, the factory has been planning and preparing for the construction of professional factories and branches."

"If you have any good suggestions or opinions, you can put them forward. It is also a kind of courage to recommend yourself."

"It is important for people to know themselves," Yang Zongfang looked into Li Xuewu's eyes and smiled slightly, saying, "I am familiar with my current position, and there are still many ideas and goals that have not been realized."

"I hope the organization can fully consider and allow me to contribute more to the steel mill."

Well, if you don't agree, don't say anything, right?

"The factory management committee fully respects the comrades in charge of units at all levels and is willing to listen to your opinions."

Li Xuewu nodded, ended the topic, and continued to ask: "Do you have any opinions or suggestions on the work and style of the current team members of the steel mill?"

——

"What's wrong? The conversation is not going well?"

Jing Yunong took a sip of warm tea, looked at Li Xuewu who was thinking on the sofa opposite and asked: "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, just random thoughts."

Li Xuewu opened his squinting eyes, smiled at the opposite side, and asked: "Is everything going well on your side?"

"What do you think?"

Jing Yunong glanced at him and said to Li Xue: "There is a red book on the desk in my room, help me get it."

"Okay leader--"

Li Xue, who was sitting on the side, stood up and responded softly.

When she left, she glanced in the direction of her second brother, thinking that the two had something shameful to say, and they had to send her away.

Li Xuewu found that his sister's eyes were not right, but he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

I am a decent person, what can I do in broad daylight?

Just take it if I ask you to!

"What do you think?"

After Li Xue left, Jing Yunong asked bluntly: "About Gangcheng Industry."

"Now we are building bridges and paving roads, do you really believe that Li Huaide will let you come to Gangcheng in the future?"

"He has no choice——"

When Li Xuewu heard her question, a trace of firmness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

This is exactly the attitude Jing Yunong wanted to see, otherwise, like an old cat, young people are always too stale and deep.

"Can you tell me?"

Jing Yunong folded his right leg, but sat up straight, with his chest and head raised, revealing his swan-like neck.

"If you are willing to share with me, the premise is."

"This is not a conspiracy."

Li Xuewu could hear the caution in her inverted sentence, which just showed that she cared about her attitude.

"I have been planning this since the collapse of the steel mill's organizational structure. There is nothing to hide."

He picked up the teapot on the table and refilled her and his cups.

"Director Dong has been in Gangcheng for three years. After three years, he will return to Beijing to serve as a full-time deputy director. I will take over his position for three years."

Li Xuewu also crossed his right leg, hugged his knees with both hands, looked into Jing Yunong's eyes and said calmly: "Three years and three years."

"You two, master and apprentice, are good at calculating," Jing Yunong glanced at him, turned his head and looked out the window, and said: "Continue."

"Hehe——"

Li Xuewu imitated her, put one arm on the back of the sofa, leaned against the sofa and said: "This is not what you want to hear."

"What do you care what I want to hear," Jing Yunong said with a little mischief in his voice, but pretended to be serious: "Hurry up and say it."

It has to be said quickly, Li Xue, this little girl, is getting harder and harder to fool.

"This is Director Dong's second year in Gangcheng," Li Xuewu continued, "I have to come to pick him up at the end of next year or at the beginning of the year after next at the latest, otherwise I won't be able to catch up..."

"The process of groupization, right?"

Jing Yunong answered with understanding, "When will he give you the position of head of the security team?"

"The end of this year is the most suitable, he doesn't need to hold on to this position."

"The key is not him, but..."

Li Xuewu stopped talking halfway, moved his ears, and continued indifferently, "I need to cool down."

"I'm not afraid of you cooling down, I'm afraid you'll be cold."

Jing Yunong turned around, stared into Li Xuewu's eyes and said, "You're playing with fire, you know?"

"If you bet your professional life on your trust in him, you won't be afraid of getting nothing. ?”

“Do you think he is stupid, or do you think I am stupid to death?”

Raising his eyebrows, Li Xuewu looked into her eyes and said, “This is not a transaction, let alone a one-time deal.”

“You should understand politics better than me. Some things cannot be measured by equivalence.”

He took a sip from the teacup, and then said, “I can come directly to Gangcheng from the security team, and even control the security team for another two years like Director Dong.”

“During this period, there is enough time and energy to layout the factory. Is this what you want to say?”

Without waiting for Jing Yunong to answer, he raised his hand to stop the other party and continued, “I know you are worried about the adjustment at the end of the year.”

“But I want to remind you that human resources are always insignificant in the process of organization. Don’t ask for trouble.”

Li Xuewu retracted his arm Li Xuewu leaned on the sofa and looked ahead and said, "Old Li needs stability and balance, so I will give him these, otherwise I will be an unstable factor in the management committee."

"No matter when, I will not stand against the majority of people, let alone become a trouble to the organization."

"You are so smart--"

Jing Yunong did not even look at Li Xuewu, but just looked out the window and murmured, "You have calculated everyone's thoughts."

"Even the upcoming organizational structure adjustment of the management committee, you have to calculate the new team members."

"Isn't this what you taught me?"

Li Xuewu turned his eyes slightly, looked at her and said, "Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not qualified to plan for a region, and those who do not plan for eternity are not qualified to plan for a moment."

"I also taught you to stop when you are satisfied!"

Jing Yunong looked at him contemptuously and said, "Did you listen to me?"

"Sometimes you listen and sometimes you don't--"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "The security team has become a big deal. In fact, my absence is more conducive to the development of my comrades."

"Is it more conducive to your development?"

Jing Yunong curled his lips and said, "You don't want to fix yourself in a circle, but don't you think you are too anxious?"

"Even as compensation, Li Huaide will support your progress at the end of this year and take full responsibility for the work of the security team, but what about next year?"

She looked into Li Xuewu's eyes and asked, "Half a year, or even shorter? The position of the team leader has to be replaced?"

"In fact, you need more experience in presiding over work in a business position, even if you already have this ability."

"Qualifications, right?"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "But time is too late. Director Dong can't wait for me too much time, and Lao Li has even less patience."

"After the promotion of Red Star Factory is completed next year, I may have to replace Lao Ding and be responsible for the work of the Commission Office."

"What did Li Huaide bet on you?"

Jing Yunong looked at him seriously and asked, "Or you have caught him with some fatal handle, so you trust him so much? "

"Aren't you afraid of giving up the security team and staying in the position of the Commission Office for the rest of your life?"

She frowned slightly and said, "Even a fool knows your ability in organization and coordination, and he is even more reluctant to let you go."

"Especially with the variables at the end of this year, the management committee will have at least nine people, or even eleven people after the team is completed. Do you dare to bet?"

"Why not?"

Li Xuewu stretched out his palm and pressed a finger every time he said a name: "You, Director Dong, Deputy Director Gu, Lao Li, Deputy Director Xue, I have five votes in my hand!"

"This is still not counting Lao Cheng's vote. Do you believe that I can make him support me willingly?"

"You have his handle, right?"

Jing Yunong is really a smart woman. Li Xuewu didn't mean this, but she grasped the point at once.

"Besides, you are so sure that Deputy Director Xue will support you, it must be related to him. "

"Don't you see that I have strong working ability, a good mass base, and good organizational work?"

Li Xuewu asked dissatisfiedly: "I must have used some means to achieve this goal. I am a serious person!"

"Okay, okay, I know--"

Jing Yunong's answer was as perfunctory as it could be, and it was obvious that he did not trust his character.

As the person in charge of the security team, no one would believe that he did not have some things in his hands.

You see that Lao Li tried every means to move Li Xuewu away, but he was actually afraid of him.

Of course, in order to go further, Li Xuewu did not want the label of the security team on him to be too obvious, so that others would be too afraid.

"I will come to Gangcheng at the beginning of the next year at the latest after half a year or a year."

Li Xuewu said firmly: "Director Dong will finish the first half of this race, and I will run the second half."

"Are you talking about the steel mill or Gangcheng Industry?"

Jing Yunong looked at him calmly and asked: "I guess you are talking about all the industries outside the Great Wall, including Fengcheng and Yingcheng, right?"

"It's okay for Xiao Zihong to be your partner, but what would Xu Sinian think if he knew that you were going to lead him in his work?"

"I don't care what he thinks?"

Li Xuewu did not answer her question, but his attitude was obvious.

"Director Dong will be responsible for the construction of Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone after returning to Beijing. You can think more about this aspect."

He didn't say it very clearly. Jing Yunong didn't like others to dictate her work the most.

Of course, except for posture.

She really didn't know much, and she didn't even know the traditional ones she thought of.

Li Xuewu taught her many postures, hundreds of millions of practical experience.

"So, you have Li Huaide and Cheng Kaiyuan at their weak points, and you have joined forces with Deputy Director Xue."

Jing Yunong squinted his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, saying: "Director Dong and Deputy Director Gu are natural allies."

"No wonder you are so confident and dare to play the trick of keeping a low profile--"

She sat up straight, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "What are you going to use to bribe me? I won't support you easily."

"You are not going to pinch my weak points, are you?"

"You said so harshly--"

Li Xuewu suddenly smiled and said: "I have given you my sister, what else do you want."

"Don't talk so ambiguous, we are serious colleagues."

Jing Yunong's eyelids jumped and his eyes looked at the door.

And when he heard the knock on the door, he said: "Unless she is my daughter-in-law."

You are really something, Jing Yunong, you dare to say that I am playing with fire, are you knowingly committing a crime?

I have clearly pointed it out to you, and you still talk about ambiguity and seriousness.

If you hadn't emphasized it, our relationship would be quite serious. Now that you've emphasized it, it's really not serious.

Did Li Xue just arrive at the door?

Also, you want my sister to be your daughter-in-law, so how can we talk about our relationship?

"Leader, here's the notebook you asked for."

Li Xue blushed, avoiding Deputy Director Jing's gaze and handed over the notebook, while secretly glaring at her second brother.

What did you say? Why did you give me up?

"Okay, thank you for your hard work--"

Jing Yunong looked at Li Xue with a smile and said, "Go, arrange the itinerary, and leave for Beijing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, leader--"

Li Xue overheard what the two talked about, and was sure it wasn't what she thought, so she was relieved now.

But after I leave, will you still talk about such serious topics?

Of course not, Li Xuewu drank the warm tea in the teacup and talked about what he was going to do. Jing Yunong was so surprised that he couldn't close his legs... mouth.

——

August 29th, Friday.

After returning from Gangcheng, Li Xuewu's work has obviously become more low-key.

This is mainly reflected in the reduction of outbound inspections and research work, and he mostly sits in the office to deal with documents.

These tasks were handed over to the heads of several departments to execute, and he only listened to reports and made decisions.

He can't say that he knows everything about the several projects he is responsible for organizing and coordinating, but he can guarantee that the orders he issued are targeted.

He attended fewer meetings and showed up less, and the factory's discussions about security control and him gradually decreased.

Of course, after returning from Gangcheng, Deputy Director Jing was refreshed and radiant, as if he was a few years younger.

Shen Guodong came to visit the factory and gave each factory leader a set of clothes for promotion.

Jing Yunong accepted it naturally, and even wore it to work the next day.

Unlike Cheng Kaiyuan, who refused several times, but accepted it reluctantly, wishing to do him a favor.

Who is Shen Guodong related to? Others in the factory don't know, but how can they, the factory leaders, not know?

He knew it well.

This pretentiousness was obviously for Li Huaide to see, and he was afraid that Director Li would suspect that he had some connection with Li Xuewu.

Shen Guodong was so angry when he came back that he cursed his mother.

You said that it was all given to him, wouldn’t it be bad not to give it to him? Give it to him, and he still pretends to be your grandson.

Li Xuewu did not criticize him, and he was too lazy to talk about Cheng Kaiyuan.

The higher-ups have reached a conclusion on foreign affairs, and Mr. Zhou’s situation has improved a lot. They are working on the aftermath of this matter.

He also reported and communicated with Li Huaide after he came back, and heard some key content from him.

Sometimes good things are not necessarily good, and bad things are not necessarily bad. We must look at problems dialectically.

Li Huaide is also talking about the end of bad times.

The most important task at present is to stabilize foreign trade and try to eliminate adverse effects.

This is the opinion of the superiors and also the opinion of Lao Li.

Anyone can take over the work that Li Xuewu is currently in charge of, except for the external work, no one has the confidence.

Just because Li Xuewu can sit there and curse at the other party in several languages, they don’t have the courage to come forward.

Even Lao Li agrees that Li Xuewu is better at cheating foreigners.

Therefore, Andrew needs to be stable, and Chantal needs to have more.

In the past few days after the incident, the mentality of the engineering and technical team members supported by the Santaya Group was a little unstable.

It was Li Xuewu who decisively issued an order, and the security department sent a special person to follow them to protect their safety at all times, which eliminated their concerns.

In fact, as long as they are in the Red Star Factory, their safety is guaranteed.

On the contrary, it would make people feel abnormal if there is a security guard behind them.

Who do you not trust?

Do you not trust the firm belief of the workers, or do you not trust that our iron fist can't protect you?

Li Xuewu went to Lao Li not only to report the results of the investigation, but also told him that the bus factory had built the second Hongyun No. 1 Gold Label bus.

This car was a gift to Mr. Zhou that several factory leaders agreed to give to Mr. Zhou when the Management Committee conducted an investigation in the Ecological Industrial Zone last time.

Now, according to the requirements, the project that Xia Zhongquan personally supervised has quickly completed the assembly of the whole vehicle.

The procurement of related parts is already underway, and the Gangcheng Bus Factory will also use this car as a basic vehicle for production and manufacturing.

Compared with the minibuses on the market, Hongyun No. 1 has better power performance and more comfortable riding experience.

It's just that there is no way to achieve assembly line production, otherwise the price will definitely be reduced.

Because of the convenience of the supply chain, its production cost is not enough to support the market share of ordinary buses.

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

But its superior performance will definitely impress the units and departments that need it.

Li Huaide did not give an answer immediately on the day of the last investigation. After returning, he formally proposed a motion at the management committee meeting.

At the meeting, all factory leaders gave their own opinions and suggestions, mainly in terms of safety and function.

Perfection, striving to show the industrial development and ideological depth of Red Star Factory.

The leather selection of interior decoration, seat design functions, multi-functional electrical appliances, etc., on the basis of seriousness and solemnity, specially define the unique management and culture of Red Star Factory.

The factory expert group reviewed and verified, and finally signed by Li Huaide, and all the preparations were completed.

Lao Li has contacted the leaders of the Ministry of Industry, and Director Du also promised to coordinate the transfer of this gift.

So after the car was built, it was taken over by the security team for sealing, and maintained for 24 hours.

In front of Li Xuewu, Lao Li called the Ministry of Industry and agreed that someone from above would pick it up in one or two days.

Why did he ask the Ministry of Industry to transfer it on his behalf instead of driving it directly to the sea?

Don't make a fuss, Lao Li still wants to mix in the industrial system. No matter how powerful the Red Star Factory is, it is still a part of the industrial system.

After talking about the car, Lao Li called Li Haiyang and handed him an invitation.

Chantal, president of Santaya Group, will host a banquet for the leaders of Red Star Factory at the International Hotel on Saturday to thank them for their help this time.

Needless to say, what kind of help, Li Huaide doesn't plan to go, it's too damn sensitive.

At this time, at the International Hotel, the French guy obviously has no good intentions.

Lao Li didn't dare to go, let alone other factory leaders.

So this invitation was like a hot potato, and it was finally pushed into Li Xuewu's hands.

Li Xuewu looked at the invitation in his hand and really wanted to curse.

So you are greedy for life, but I am not afraid of death!

But what Lao Li said was right. He is the deputy director of the Management Committee Office. He can represent Red Star Factory, but he is not enough to represent Red Star Factory.

It is very suitable to attend this thank-you dinner, eat and drink well, and negotiate cooperation.

Lao Li made a request, that is, he must stabilize Chantal and let the Santaya Group continue to cooperate.

——

Besides making demands and drawing conclusions, what else can leaders do?

The answer is that they can also talk nonsense.

On Saturday night, Li Xuewu took the Volga M24 sedan to the International Hotel to attend Chantal's private dinner.

Don't get me wrong, this is not the club's car, it is Lao Li's car.

In order to make up for his incompetent behavior, he specially arranged this car to send him.

At that time, he mentioned that Shi Ruoweng wanted to change Li Xuewu's car.

Li Huaide explained in a slightly relaxed tone that Shi Ruoweng had just returned and had not yet fully understood the work.

He was very familiar with Li Xuewu's hard-working and simple work style, and insisted on using the command car because it was more suitable, not more comfortable.

So he said that he had criticized Shi Ruoweng and told him not to pretend to know.

This can be regarded as transferring Shi Ruoweng back, giving Li Xuewu a positive explanation and guarantee.

Does Li Xuewu need his guarantee?

Stop it, he doesn't care about Shi Ruoweng at all. No matter how much he trains and grows, he is still a hopeless person.

Lao Li didn't ask him when to change the car, but just said that he would change the car at the beginning of next year.

Yes, this Volga M24 has been bought for less than a year, and it is almost unsuitable for Lao Li's status.

He quietly told Li Xuewu that the new car had been ordered, and that it would be arranged for Li Xuewu to use.

When was that time?

When the Red Star Factory was promoted, Lao Li was qualified to ride the Red Flag, and Li Xuewu was also qualified to ride the Volga.

Do you really think that what Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong said in Gangcheng was the truth? Was it all his plans?

Come on, would you tell all your core career plans to someone in the same unit?

Even if the other party was a beautiful woman, even if the two had a relationship in broad daylight, there were no friends in the workplace.

As for Li Xuewu's identity and qualifications to ride this Volga M24, that was not worth mentioning.

It can only be said that Lao Li gave more than Jing Yunong imagined, and Li Xuewu asked for less than Jing Yunong imagined.

Even the subsequent plans that were told to her, the news that shocked her, were only appetizers.

He gave up the United Industry, the Tertiary Industry, the Trade Management Center, and the Security Team.

You said Li Xuewu gave up so much, what did he want?

Gathered together is a ball of fire, scattered is a sky full of stars.

His development in the security team has come to an end, and the last step is the great perfection of the leader of the security team.

But this great perfection is a chicken rib for him, it is not good without it, and it is not fragrant with it.

The relevant personnel layout and training have borne fruit. Even if he leaves the security team, does Li Huaide have the ability and determination to replace everyone?

Compared with the professional positions in the workshop, the work within the security team is actually very professional.

So even if you promote and replace people again, it is likely that Li Xuewu's people will be promoted.

Unless Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu are completely removed, otherwise the grass will not be cut off and the spring breeze will blow again.

Lao Li just wants balance, not to perish together.

So Li Xuewu's current state looks very easy-going, and everyone who sees him is like a good old man.

After Shi Ruoweng came back, he repeatedly pointed fingers at the Management Committee Office, but Li Xuewu ignored him.

He didn't confront him head-on, and didn't even look at him straight in the eye.

This gave Lao Li a lot of face, otherwise there would be no explanation and goodwill from Lao Li.

Although this car was replaced by Lao Li, the meaning it represents is different.

With the beginning of the reform, especially as September is approaching, the personnel in the agency are becoming more and more restless.

The wind of adjustment and reinforcement of the management team of Red Star Factory is getting stronger and stronger, and it is about to blow to the end.

Now everyone is calculating, and the beads are flying all over the factory, crackling.

Li Xuewu kept a low profile at this time, which caused some people to speculate and even had bad rumors.

Lao Li also understands the truth that the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, huh?

——

"Why did she invite you to dinner?"

Yu Shui walked beside Li Xuewu, muttering, "It's late at night--"

"I wanted to invite you, but I didn't know who you were."

Li Xuewu's mouth was really mean, and he didn't mean to take care of her at all.

"Also, it's late at night, isn't it time for you to get off work?"

He pointed to the time of 5:30 on his hand and reminded, "Don't delay your sleep, it's embarrassing."

"What? You still want to sleep?"

Yu Shui didn't listen to what he said at all, only sensitive words were filtered out in her ears, and her eyes were almost popping out.

Li Xuewu twitched his lips and asked, "Why, you never slept before? Who doesn't sleep?"

"Then it depends on who you sleep with--"

Yu Shui pouted and said, "You didn't ask clearly, how can I answer you?"

"Then don't ask, I'm not curious."

Li Xuewu hit the nail on the head: "As long as you don't sleep with me."

"Then who do you want to sleep with?"

Yu Shui was like a child, and finally caught him once and started to argue.

"Sleep with that Xiang Xiang?"

"Don't curse--"

Before entering the restaurant, Li Xuewu reminded her, "Xiang Xiang is the name of a pig in my place!"

After saying that, he ignored the silly girl who couldn't help but curl her lips, and smiled and entered the restaurant.

"I'm really sorry, the leaders are busy and can't leave... Are you... kidding?"

He shook hands with Chantal politely, and was stunned by the small dining table and the fact that she was alone.

It's not a banquet, this scale is just a date at most, right?

"What a coincidence, my colleagues here are also very busy."

Chantal nodded without surprise and took the initiative to invite Li Xuewu to take a seat.

Li Xuewu tilted his head slightly and still helped the other party to pull out the stool in a gentlemanly manner.

Is this well prepared or premeditated?

I am a serious person, and you, the chairman of an international group, personally come to hook me?

"Let's eat French food, no problem?"

"Of course, the guest follows the host's wishes--"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, gestured to the square dining table and asked: "I am still very surprised."

"There is nothing to be surprised about, the person I want to thank is you," Chantal said calmly: "Now that you are here, my goal has been achieved."

"Is it really--a coincidence?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, and when he saw the other party laughing, he also laughed.

There is no such thing as a coincidence, it is nothing more than some people's painstaking efforts.

You understand my ill intentions, and I understand your pretentious reserve.

French cuisine has many varieties, small portions, and takes a long time to prepare, revealing the hypocrisy and extravagance of old money aristocrats everywhere.

Of course, after entering the socialist territory, in order to satisfy the vanity of these people, in line with the mentality of "if you have money but don't make money, you are a bastard", the International Hotel has well preserved the whole process.

There were only two of them, so they didn't order many dishes.

During the meal, the two did not talk about work right away. Even before the final dessert, the topics they talked about were only customs, food and life.

In the past, Li Xuewu really didn't observe the other party carefully. After all, he was a foreign businessman and a wealthy Westerner.

The only place where the two could have some intersection was at the negotiation table.

The theme of today's dinner had been decided long ago, which was to thank the last help and protection.

Li Xuewu had no intention of corrupting the nature, and ate the meal very relaxedly.

Even during the dinner, he didn't ask the other party about his current arrangements and the "misunderstanding".

At that time, he dug a pit to bury people because the other party was in a mess and had no normal thinking ability.

Now it's not the case. If he says something to destroy the relationship between the couple, wouldn't that be a hooligan?

Just like that, the more gentlemanly, proper and relaxed he behaved, the more sincere the smile on Chantal's face.

Not until he put down his knife and fork did Li Xuewu take the opportunity to pour the wine to tactfully inform the other party of the result of the handling of the matter by the higher-ups.

"In fact, I knew there would be a result that day," Chantal smiled and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Because you told me."

"You said that there will be a result for this matter, I believe you-"

"Thank you, your trust is very comforting to me."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "This is a challenge and burden for both of us."

"Before leaving, the factory leader told me to bring our sincerity and greetings to you."

"Thank you, I have already felt it-"

Chantal's hand on the table suddenly stretched out, patted the back of Li Xuewu's hand and said, "Please accept my thanks, this is a sincere friendship."

"You are a real man-"

"Oh, really-"

The other party's sudden fever almost sprained Li Xuewu's waist.

He raised his eyebrows, pointed at the ring on the other's finger and reminded: "You also have a real man, don't you?"

"Of course, of course, if he is like that, it counts-"

Chantal raised her hand and generously showed Li Xuewu the sparkling green diamond ring on her ring finger.

Her lips moved slightly: "Will you be more excited this way?"

"Oh-you are a bad woman!"

Li Xuewu seriously evaluated her boldness and rudeness, pointed his finger at the table and said seriously: "I must punish you on behalf of the classless class-"

The two naturally communicated in French. When this sentence was spoken, the atmosphere at the table instantly became ambiguous.

But in the eyes of others, it seemed that Chantal accidentally touched Li Xuewu's hand, and Li Xuewu was seriously criticizing the other party.

At least that's what He Yushui thought, she had already scolded the other party several times in her heart.

However, in the hearts of everyone in the restaurant, they didn't care about this, it was just a collision of Eastern and Western cultures and habits.

Until Li Xuewu walked out of the restaurant with the other party, she didn't understand what the two sides said when they went upstairs.

Maybe there was a whip without steps or something? ——

"Why did you take so long to come down?"

The rain was like a ghost. When Li Xuewu stepped down the stairs and was about to go out, she suddenly appeared.

Li Xuewu glanced at her and continued to walk out without paying attention. As he walked, he asked: "Why haven't you left yet?"

"You haven't left either!"

He Yushui walked beside him relentlessly and said: "I didn't leave because I was waiting for you."

"What a coincidence, I didn't leave because I was waiting for you - go first!"

Li Xuewu had already figured out her thoughts, so he didn't spare her and didn't give her any chance at all.

"Don't change the subject--"

Yu Shui had been waiting downstairs for a long time, and now frowned and asked: "What on earth did you do?"

"Talking about business, a big business worth hundreds of millions."

Li Xuewu reminded her when passing by the lobby: "Don't mind my business, I'm busy working."

"I don't believe you--"

Yu Shui glanced at the front desk, frowned and reminded: "Be careful, foreign women are all sick."

"Thank you," Li Xuewu curled his lips with a smile, and said: "If you didn't say it, I wouldn't know it until today."

"Hey! I'm talking about that kind of..."

Seeing that Li Xuewu had already left the door, Yu Shui chased him out and wanted to remind him a few more words, but saw the car coming.

"It's getting late," Li Xuewu stood by the car and turned back to remind Yu Shui.

Ah? What do you mean? It's getting late, are you going to take me home?

I knew you were sharp-tongued, but kind-hearted.

"Okay--"

"What's okay?"

Li Xuewu opened the car door and sat in the back seat, saying to the stunned Yu Shui outside the car window: "It's too dangerous to walk at night, you stay here tonight, bye."

After that, the driver started the car and drove away from the International Hotel compound under Yu Shui's gnashing eyes.

Although today is Saturday, Li Xuewu's family did not return to the courtyard.

The house in his backyard was rented out again, but this time it was a big happy event.

Pazile, his good comrade and brother who followed him all the way from the border to the capital, and his cheap sister-in-law Wang Yamei have achieved a happy ending and will get married tomorrow.

From the time Li Xuewu introduced them to each other to the time they decided to get married and chose a date, it took them less than three months.

In fact, at this time, this speed was very normal.

Can the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers be as true and reliable as the wishes of the organization?

The organization will examine both parties to the marriage, and the marriage application will not be approved if there is even a slight problem.

Especially Pazile's identity.

So the marriage examination, property, family, background and other issues that young men and women in later generations worry about, don't worry about them at this time.

If you can get that certificate, it means that both parties have no problems. If there is a problem, it will be a big deal.

Why borrow Li Xuewu's house to get married?

First of all, the house in the backyard is newly cleaned and bright.

Secondly, Pazile has no house in Beijing. The unit has the ability to allocate it, but it is in the mountains, which is not suitable.

So after consulting Li Xuewu's opinion, Pazile and Wang Yamei chose to rely on their parents.

The kind of aboveboard, and the kind that Wang Yamei's parents agree to.

When talking about marriage, Pazile was very single and handed over the money he saved to Wang Yamei in front of her parents.

He was on duty at the unit and had little time to go home, so the most suitable way was to live in Wang Yamei's parents' house.

This also meant that he decided to support both of them in their old age.

Borrowing Li Xuewu's house to get married outside was to emphasize that he was not marrying into the family, and to let the neighbors understand this meaning.

Finally, Pazile agreed that Li Xuewu was his elder brother, and the elder brother was like a father. His sister also lived in this courtyard, and he wanted to get married here.

If he really wanted to borrow a house, Li Xuewu had many houses to lend him. It was he who asked Li Xuewu.

So the big wedding was on Sunday, and Li Xuewu's family would go back to the courtyard tomorrow to have a feast and watch the fun.

Who would have thought that the little girl who had been a whistleblower for him and her sister was married.

PS: Why did Chantal, a French businessman, take risks, and why did Li Xuewu dare to get involved?

(Seriously, this is not written for H, guess what.)
