Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Hey, Xuewu is also here——"

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui entered the house and greeted Li Xuewu with a smile.

Li Shun stood up and asked them to sit down, and at the same time asked Li Xuecai to make tea.

Yan Fugui was polite to Li Shun with a smile, but when he called Li Xuewu, he used the phrase "Director Li".

Not to mention that Li Shun felt awkward, even Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Li Xuewu didn't spoil him. When he called him, he just responded vaguely, didn't correct him, and didn't call him "Uncle".

Some people just don't have face, they only remember to eat but not to be beaten.

If you force him to face, won't it encourage his double-faced attitude?

Yan Fugui's call was not a sincere congratulation to Li Xuewu, nor a compliment from the heart.

There is a saying these days, if you are not from the same family, you are not a family.

They said that they were not in the same unit and had no business relationship on weekdays. Even if you were a cadre, I would not flatter you.

Why?

Because the mobility of employees these days is very poor. Basically, no matter what unit you join, you will still be in that unit when you die.

Think about it, why should I flatter you if there is no relationship.

In the past, for the sake of his son and himself, Yan Fugui had to control himself and rely on Li Xuewu.

It is different now. Even if the eldest daughter-in-law is in the Red Star Factory, he is gone, and he does not get along with the eldest daughter-in-law and the second son's family.

So, when he learned that Li Xuewu had taken a step further, this petty mind slipped out of his mouth.

He was jealous and wanted to tease the tiger's whiskers.

If I call you Director Li, do you dare to agree?

Didn't you, Li Xuewu, often say modestly that at home and in the yard, you don't have to be polite, just call me what you should call me.

Since he boasted of his friendliness and acted like a people-friendly person, then as the third uncle in the courtyard, if I call you, you have to face me with a lower attitude, right?

He is not bad, but he is dissatisfied and jealous.

If it were in the past when Jie Cheng was alive, the whole family would have to curry favor with Li Xuewu if they hoped that such a son would have a promising future.

What about now?

Hey! I can tease you!

But he never expected that Li Xuewu just stood up and greeted Yi Zhonghai as the first uncle, and he would say "umm ha ha" when it came to him.

What? I called you Director Li, and you really agreed!

"Sit down, don't stand, have tea."

Perhaps Li Shunxing saw his embarrassment, and did not mean to blame his son, but just asked them to sit down and have tea.

Li Xuecai brought two cups of tea and placed them on the eight-immortal table, and politely called the first uncle and the third uncle.

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile, and just as he was about to speak, Yan Fugui accepted the tea before him and said hello.

"Hey, it seems that Xuecai has grown up a lot!"

"No, Third Uncle, you praised me."

Li Xuecai has been in the hospital for more than a month, and he has also learned to chat, and his response to this compliment has a fresh taste.

Saying thank you in the face of compliments, that is a very confident and proud mentality, which is rare in this era.

If someone wants to praise you or your child, isn't it the same as admitting it if you say thank you?

"My son is not talented" is still the mainstream at this time. It is the impact of foreign culture after the reform and opening up, and the national self-confidence after rapid development that makes people have the mentality of saying thank you.

Li Xuewu is not popular, but Yan Fugui still likes good children like Li Xuecai.

He looked at Li Xuecai with a smile and praised him a lot. Li Xuecai was surprised. Could this Third Uncle want to introduce him to a partner? .

Only a matchmaker would praise someone like this.

Yi Zhonghai and Li Shun understood that Yan Fugui was trying to pull one over and step on the other.

He praised Li Xuecai openly, but actually belittled Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't care, he just listened with a smile, and asked the same old man a few questions from time to time.

"I heard that Xuecai has started working?"

Yan Fugui turned his head and looked at Li Shun, and asked, "Isn't he still in school? Did he take over your job in advance?"

It's not uncommon for someone to take over the job when he was halfway through college.

Why?

Because the resumption of college classes seems to be a long way off, and they can't wait any longer, so they might as well go to the factory and become cadres with a high school degree.

Of course, there are such cases, but they are not the majority.

College students these days are not controlled by their families, because their household registration is in their own pockets.

There are two and a half college students in the Li family now.

Li Xuewen's household registration is not in Li Shun's account, but a separate household, and is back in the street.

Li Xuewu also took his household registration with him when he served in the army, and re-established his household registration after his demobilization.

But when he went through the university study procedures, he had already started working, so special treatment was given and his household registration was not moved.

Li Xuecai's household registration was not at home, but in the school's collective account. When he graduated, he was assigned to a place other than Beijing.

There is a possibility that Li Xuecai was assigned to another place when he graduated, so he was no longer a Beijing resident.

This situation is particularly common in this era, but most people will adopt the principle of returning to where they came from.

Unless there is a change in policy or situation, Li Xuewu knew that this situation would occur in the next year's major allocation.

So he arranged for Li Xuecai to go to the Chinese Medicine Hospital for internship in advance for a purpose, for fear that this silly brother would become a non-Beijing resident.

Li Shun didn't know the purpose of Li Xuewu's arrangement, and thought he just couldn't stand the idleness of the third child.

He supported the decision to let the third child go to the hospital for internship.

Now that Yan Fugui asked, he just said it directly.

"I'm still in school, I just use my spare time to help in the hospital and practice learning."

"Oh - that's what I said -"

Yan Fugui replied with a slightly disappointed tone, and his eyes shifted from Li Xuecai's face to the teacup.

Li Shun looked at his second son, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked: "What are you doing..."

"Ah, nothing, just visiting."

Still interrupting Yi Zhonghai's words, Yan Fugui explained before he finished a sip of tea: "Isn't this the street's request?"

"The correspondent came to convey this in the morning, requiring each compound to investigate and visit the residents during the New Year."

After he finished introducing, he asked casually: "Hey, Xuewu, you're not coming back to live, right?"

"Who said that?"

Unlike the previous friendly and politeness, Li Xuewu frowned and asked back as soon as Yan Fugui finished speaking.

Yan Fugui's hand holding the teacup trembled for a moment, his face stiffened, but he still explained with a smile: "Nothing, just asking casually, didn't you buy a house outside after you got married?"

"In addition to the house in your backyard."

He raised his chin, pointed to the direction of the outer courtyard and said: "I don't see you living in this back house..."

"I live there, didn't you see?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "I can't help it, I'm lucky, I got a little more house, but there are many people in my family."

He folded his right leg and counted: "My grandfather needs me to support him, plus the children, it seems that there is not enough room for him."

"Nothing, just asking the street."

Seeing that his tone was stiff and had a hint of danger, and Yan Fugui's expression was even stiffer, Yi Zhonghai could only speak.

"I heard that the higher-ups are going to count the distribution of houses, but we don't know the specific situation."

"Well, it's okay, just ask."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "If you need anything, you can contact me at any time, or go to the street."

He patted his left hand on his knee and said with a smile, "I am still a member of the compound, and my household registration information is all here."

"Is it the outer courtyard or the backyard?"

Yi Zhonghai asked calmly, "If it is registered in the outer courtyard, there will be no trouble."

"Outer courtyard, the backyard was not bought at that time."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, heard the meaning of the old man's words, nodded and said, "The backyard is personal property."

"Well, I know, it's the Xu family."

The old man seemed to be emphasizing something, and he made it clear while drinking tea, and he seemed to be a bit picky about words.

Who in this compound would not remember that the house in the backyard of Li Xuewu was mortgaged to him by Xu Damao, why did he say it again?

"Okay, that's it--"

After finishing a cup of tea, without giving Yan Fugui another chance to say anything else, Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "Let's go to another house."

"Let's go now, sit for a while."

Li Xuewu stood up and greeted with a smile: "If you have something to say, please talk to me, come and sit more."

--

"Did the first uncle and Yan Fugui go to your house?"

Li Xuewu came out of his house and deliberately walked around the backyard. When he passed by Sha Zhu's house, he was pulled into the house by him.

Sha Zhu's big house is very grand, especially the position of the middle room facing north and south.

The summer before last, I borrowed money from the first uncle and rebuilt the house with all my strength, and I had to fight for this face.

Li Xuewu just finished looking at his own backyard, and compared it with Sha Zhu's house, I always felt that there were too many shortcomings.

The biggest disadvantage is this innate condition, facing north and south can never be compared.

"Don't bother, I'm not thirsty, I've had some at home."

When Li Xuewu saw him wanting to make tea, he quickly waved his hand to refuse.

He sat down on the kang, looked at the furnishings in the room and asked, "How do you know they went to my house?"

"They went to block you, why don't I know?"

Sha Zhu laughed and brought a cup of tea over, explaining, "The third uncle has been watching your house for several days."

"Knowing that you have to come back on the weekend, he came to the first uncle's house in the morning to ambush you and check the house."

"Haha, some good things are always on someone's mind."

Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "They also checked you, is it the old lady's house in the backyard?"

"Me? I don't indulge him——"

Sha Zhu smiled evilly, stretched out the bench and sat on the kang, tilted his head and said, "You are a person of status, you can't do dirty things, I am different, who am I afraid of?"

"So I have status and have to be bullied?"

Li Xuewu was both amused and helpless. Just as Sha Zhu said, he could still kick Yan Fugui.

But Yan Fugui dared to get angry with Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu was really going to kick him.

"Forget it, don't pay attention to him."

Sha Zhu took a sip from the teacup and said, "He is that kind of person. If he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity, he will lose it."

"I heard that he couldn't sleep all night!"

"Hehe——"

Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "Don't make him seriously ill again. It's New Year's Day, and you are blackmailing me again."

"I said so too. Isn't this a reminder for you?"

Sha Zhu shook his head, put down the teacup and explained, "He is thinking about your back house. It's good to share one room."

"What the hell is he thinking?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does he want to do? Yan Jiekuang has to stay at home for retirement, and he wants to divide the family?"

"Nonsense, Yan Jiekuang is only fifteen, what's the point of dividing a house? He's thinking about dividing a house."

Sha Zhu pouted and said, "I heard that the factory has issued a news about the distribution of houses, so I'm busy."

He pointed to the direction of the front yard outside the window and said, "I wish I could build a wall on the porch so that I can calculate the area inside the house."

"You're really crazy about it--"

Li Xuewu crossed his right leg, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "Why didn't he write the word Yan on the toilet at the door?"

"Hehehe--"Sha Zhu laughed when he heard him say that, "You think he doesn't want to!"

"People are greedy!"

He He moved the teacup and said, "With the area of ​​their house, at least they can get a building of more than 40 square meters."

"They only have one son to take care of them in their old age, how big a house do they need to live in!"

"I ignored him, the uncle followed him."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I can tell that he was in a difficult situation, he must have been dragged there."

"He's stupid, is the uncle stupid?"

Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows and said, "The street said to check, so what?"

"Why doesn't he think about how much he has to buy a house with a back room."

Sha Zhu didn't say this too bluntly, and it would be too explicit if he said it more bluntly.

Li Xuewu's godmother is the street director, and Shen Guodong is now a celebrity in the street's small factory.

You can say that Yan Fugui has no brains, he only thought about not teaching the students of the Red Star Factory anymore, and never thought about where he was.

"Why don't you just argue with him?" Sha Zhu nodded his head and said, "He has some problems."

"Really?"

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't look like he was talking nonsense, Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it about blood vessels?"

"I don't know, everyone can feel it."

Sha Zhu was serious, picking up peanuts from the basket and eating them, saying, "It started in the second half of this year."

"You probably didn't catch up because you don't come back often. Sometimes he keeps talking to himself, like a psychopath."

"Is he pretending--"

Li Xuewu looked out the window. Sitting here, he could see the situation in the front yard through the three doors.

"Does he have a criminal record? Did you forget that time when he pretended to be crazy and foolish to deceive people because he was afraid of being embarrassed?"

"It doesn't look like that this time," Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "He didn't have a quarrel with anyone, so it wouldn't take so long."

"You can tell by looking at what happened to him. Is he a normal person?"

"How is the book taught?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "Should it be seen in school?"

"Come on, do you really think that Banggeng's poor performance is all his own problem!"

Sha Zhu said with a smile, "If it was really his own problem, how could he catch up with our factory middle school?"

"You don't know yet, Banggeng did well in the exams this semester, and his mother is showing off to everyone everywhere."

"Do you mean it's the teacher's problem?"

The muscles on Li Xuewu's face jumped, thinking that Banggeng's previous teacher was Ran Qiuye.

"What do you think? There must be a small part of the reason!"

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Even Yan Fugui himself said that he didn't attend classes for two years. Who can tell?"

"Besides, his condition is not serious. Maybe he himself realized that he has a problem and is trying to control himself."

"Didn't his family find out?"

Li Xuewu sat up straight and said, "It is important to treat this disease early."

"Who found out?"

Sha Zhu said frankly, "Even if he found out, he wouldn't say anything. He just lived one day at a time!"

This is true. It is not a good thing to have a mental illness these days. People's words are scary.

Another thing is that if you get sick, you can't teach. If you don't teach, how can you earn money to support your family?

"We all guess it's a cerebrovascular problem," Sha Zhu said after taking a sip of hot tea, "After all, it was not treated well at the beginning."

——

"Who are you talking about? Brother Wu is here too."

As the two were talking, Diliya came in from the door holding the child, accompanied by Yu Shui.

"It's okay, just some small talk--"

Sha Zhu stood up and went to pick up his son, laughing and teasing him.

Diliya took off her outer coat with the rain, smiled and greeted Li Xuewu with auspicious words of New Year's greetings.

After being married to Sha Zhu for two years, she finally came out from under the Tianshan Mountains, no longer a melancholy girl, and had the breath of the market.

She used to be afraid of Li Xuewu and refused to talk to him, but now she is normal.

Li Xuewu touched his pocket and waved to He Zhuang, who was lying on the kang and had his outer cotton jacket stripped off by his father.

The fat boy was not afraid of him at all, and he crawled over when he saw him waving.

"Uncle, give me the New Year's money in advance."

Li Xuewu folded ten yuan into a gold ingot shape and stuffed it into the pocket of the fat boy's shirt, making He Zhuang stare blankly.

"Why give him so much? One dollar and fifty cents will do."

Dilya was a little embarrassed and came over to take the money from her son to be polite to Li Xuewu.

The little fat boy took it out of his own pocket. When he saw his mother wanted it, he handed it over.

Shazhu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Take it. It's not much."

"If Director Li really wants to give him one dollar and fifty cents, it will be embarrassing. Just take it if he gives it to you--"

"You are the one who talks too much!"

Dilya was really embarrassed to step back after hearing him say that. She turned around and gave Shazhu a slap.

Li Xuewu smiled and held the little fat boy and asked, "How much? Twenty-five pounds?"

"Yes, tall, almost twenty-six pounds."

Sha Zhu leaned against the cabinet and said with a smile: "I can't stand my arms after holding them for a long time."

"It really follows your dad's physique."

Li Xuewu pinched the little fat man's arms and legs and said laughing: "If you grow up, learn to fall from your dad, you're a good guy."

"My son should learn culture."

Sha Zhu scratched his neck with a smile and said, "It must be that culture is useful. I heard that your Li Shu can recite poems."

"Learn the language, and memorize it."

Li Xuewu smiled, handed the fat man to his mother, looked at Tingting Yushui, who was standing by the windowsill wearing pink sweater, and asked, "Don't you go to work?"

"Off, holidays-"

Yushui hugged her arms, her tone was very plain, but she was thinking about you and she remembered to see me.

But no idea, Li Xuewu's attention to her flashed by. After asking her, he talked about the appliances at home.

"A old man said I was slapping money, and I didn't care about that."

Sha Zhu also hugged his arms and wandered around the ground, signaling Li Xuewu to the electrical appliances at home.

"I can buy these for the time being. When I get rich, I will move the TV back."

"Sure, this courtyard belongs to your family to live well."

Li Xuewu nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "If TV really becomes popular, then our factory will have to set up a TV station."

"That's good--"

Seeing him get up, Sha Zhu asked, "What are you doing? Let's sit there for a while. Let's go with me at night?"

"Forget it, there's no time."

Li Xuewu nodded to Diliya and Yushui, then walked out and explained, "If he hadn't gone home to ask, I wouldn't have been too lazy to see it in the backyard, so I would have left long ago."

"Don't pay attention to him, I'll cheat you again."

Sha Zhu sent him to the door and reminded him with a smile, "I am far away from him in this dog skin plaster."

"Come on, you're busy-"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and walked towards the front yard.

Sha Zhu saw that he left and then entered the house.

Diliya changed the child's clothes and signaled the ten yuan ingot on the lid of the box and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's the matter?"

Sha Zhu said without much care: "Their family will come back for the New Year, and I will return it back then."

"Where are the two children, how much should I give?" Di Liya nagged, "It's not good to give five dollars..."

"Don't worry about that-"

Sha Zhu waved his hand and said, "I tell you, he is really not bad at this, just have fun."

"If you are serious, it will be boring."

He cleaned up the tea bowl on the edge of the kang and said, "Don't worry about it for ten or five yuan, just one dollar, and the three children of the Li family will give it."

Before Diliya could say anything, he emphasized again: "You can buy some tobacco for the old lady and his grandfather. If you feel sorry for it, make a pair of cloth shoes, which is also considered to be the only thing you can do."

"Then make a pair of cloth shoes," Diliya thought for a while and said, "The old lady and Aunt Liu are helping us see the child."

"Make another pair for an aunt..."

"Don't plot so much according to you."

Sha Zhu said casually: "The most taboo thing about getting along with each other in this relationship is to calculate and make conspiracy, the thinner the more you calculate."

"What did you just say to the house?"

Di Liya thought about it in her heart, coaxed the child to climb on the kang, turned around and asked Sha Zhu, "Who didn't treat it well?"

"The third uncle in the front yard, I went to get Li Xuewu's house."

Sha Zhu saw Yushui and listened to her words and turned back to the inner room. He shook his head in a funny and angrily manner, looked at Diliya and asked, "Do you think the third uncle is mentally ill?"

"The old birthday boy is looking for trouble when he eats arsenic!"

He curled his lips and said, "The courtyard is waiting to see his excitement, that is, Li Xuewu, I am impatient to pay attention to him."

"Don't mess with him!"

He Yuzhu's tone, Di Liya warned him, "If anyone has money, he will not support him, and he can't help but clean up."

"No need to remind me, I'm not stupid-"

Sha Zhu looked towards the front yard outside the window and said, "It's my turn to watch the fun now!"

——

"Why didn't I see you buying electrical appliances?"

Liang Zuodong, deputy director of the Management Committee Office, smiled and chatted with Li Xuewu, saying, "Don't your family need these?"

"I can't use it for the time being, where are you?"

Li Xuewu looked at him with a smile and asked, "It's rare to have no choice but to buy some."

"I'm going, I'm going to tell my brother-in-law."

Liang Zuodong was very honest, and when he smiled, his two big teeth spread out arrogantly.

He leaned against the back of the chair and straightened his body and said, "I have to take the whole family to a tricycle. I have to take advantage of this serious advantage."

"Have you bought the TV?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "The price is right now, and I may not decide which line to execute in the future."

He is talking about the planned market price, the type with tickets, and the price of the internal market supply of the tertiary industry.

At what price to implement, we have to watch this year's TV opportunities will not be required to go through the planned market channel.

This thing is still a shortage of supplies now, and it may not be available in a village, but it is much scarce than bicycles.

The Red Star Factory has to make full efforts to produce, and supplying the entire capital is actually quite enough, and there will be even surplus.

But we won’t mention foreign trade orders for the time being, even the parts cannot keep up with the production speed, let alone the opposition from the Beijing TV Factory.

The planned economy has its own economic system, and free market trade can only supplement it and will never affect its root cause.

In fact, Hongxing Factory is unwilling to do domestic trade, the price is difficult to set and the profit is not too high.

However, some commodities must be traded in domestic markets, in order to exchange them for necessary production materials and materials through the trade management center.

The production system created by Hongxing Factory is particularly complex now, and it affects the whole body with one move.

Liang Zuodong already knew something about this and shook his head slightly and said, "One is that he can't afford it, and the other is that he doesn't like it."

He smiled and said to Li Xuewu, "I've gone to watch it. There are only a few programs in total, and I'm tired of watching it over and over again."

"It would be great if our factory had its own TV station," he said to Li Xuewu sideways, "I heard that our factory's radio and newspapers have made such changes with your support?"

"I have to say that it is much better than our original unit, especially in terms of the richness of the program."

"Where, you misunderstood-"

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "I am not responsible for these two tasks, so how can I talk about support and help?"

"Even if there is, I will give two small suggestions."

"You are too modest, right?" Liang Zuodong said with a smile: "The comrades at the radio station have said, I want to thank you."

"Haha, I don't believe it!"

Li Xuewu chuckled and sat upright. At this moment, he had seen his leader bringing people in, and he restrained his topic and expression.

"It's only one thing to ask you to come," Gu Weijie didn't sit down, waved and signaled to the two people who brought him, and introduced: "This is Comrade Bai Changshan, who is here to serve as the deputy director of our Management Committee Office."

She raised her hand to introduce another one: "Comrade Zhou Zechuan, I believe everyone knows him, so he doesn't need to introduce him."

Gu Weijie looked at the two of them and signaled to the sofa, saying, "Comrade Liang Zuodong, deputy director of the Management Committee Office, has just been transferred here."

"Comrade Li Xuewu, the head of the security team and deputy director of the management committee office, is an old comrade in our factory."

"Team leader Li is not old-fashioned-"

Zhou Zechuan smiled and shook hands with Li Xuewu and said, "We're meeting again, Team Leader Li."

"Meet again-"

Li Xuewu smiled and shook his hand, saying, "I said that day after reading the notice, is it a duplicate name? Hahaha."

"I am so happy to visit the old place again."

Zhou Zechuan smiled and let go of his hand, saying, "Learn more from you in the future."

"Too polite, learn from each other."

Li Xuewu nodded and looked at Bai Changshan, who had just shaken hands with Liang Zuodong and greeted him.

The other party took the initiative to extend his hand and said politely: "Hello, Team Leader Li, I have long admired Daming."

"You are so kind, how can you get a big name?"

Li Xuewu shook hands with a smile and asked, "Are you and Comrade Zechuan colleagues?"

He had a skill in asking this question, because Gu Weijie did not introduce his origin, so it would be better to ask intuition than to guess.

Even if you ask, you have to pay attention to a skill. Since you know where Zhou Zechuan came from and who transferred it, you should lean on it.

It’s very simple. The other party must not be Zhou Zechuan’s colleague, nor was he transferred by the same person as Zhou Zechuan.

It was because he knew this that he asked this on purpose.

Because the other party will also give an answer when it denies.

"No, Deputy Team Leader Zhou and I have just met."

Bai Changshan smiled and explained, "I originally worked in the Information Department of the Beijing Industrial Bureau, and I would like to ask Team Leader Li to help in the future."

"Yes, I haven't seen you--"

Li Xuewu also showed his enthusiasm to him. After shaking hands, he looked at Gu Weijie and said, "This time the factory is so generous. Did you hear us cry out for hard work? Hahaha--"

"I heard it all on the third floor!"

Gu Weijie responded to his joke, glanced at him, and said to Zhou Zechuan and Bai Changshan, "Team Leader Li will arrange your next work, and I will send you here."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Gu——"

The two of them thanked each other in unison and sent her out with a smile.

"Sorry, personnel adjustments are too frequent."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to hand over the steps to the two of them and explained: "There is no way or energy to organize the appointment ceremony, it's a bit simpler."

"The same was true when Deputy Director Liang came."

He signaled Liang Zuodong, pointed at himself, and said, "I have also received this group of appointments, just one piece of paper."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The four people in the office are not very old, and they are nothing more.

Of course, I don’t know what you care about in your heart.

Even if there is, there is nothing we can do. When Su Weid came, he was just a small-scale meeting. Their deputy division level was worthless.

It is enough to have Li Xuewu, a team leader who is carrying two loads of burdens on one shoulder to pick them up.

After hearing from both of them, they didn't care much about these rituals or anything else, Li Xuewu smiled and revealed it.

"Let's do this, Deputy Director Liang has been here a few days ago."

Li Xuewu signaled Bai Changshan and said, "You can take Deputy Director Bai to get familiar with the work of our commission."

He signaled Zhou Zechuan again and said, "I will take Comrade Zechuan back to the security team. We will gather downstairs at noon."

"The first day is also the New Year, and it is also fate that we get together. I'll invite a few of us to the guesthouse for a meal."

"How can you be so embarrassed-"

Bai Changshan smiled and said politely: "You can eat something in the cafeteria, and there will be more days in the future."

“No, it’s later.”

Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with him again, saying: “You just arrived today, so there is no ceremony, we must welcome you.”

“Hahaha, thank you, Team Leader Li!”

Zhou Zechuan was very calm, after all, he had been here for almost two months, and he was considered an old friend to Li Xuewu as a new colleague.

It’s just that the word friend should be put in double quotation marks, because whether it is a friend or not will have to be discussed later, so let’s eat this meal first.

"Then I'd rather obey than be respectful!"

Bai Changshan said with a smile: "Meeting Team Leader Li really made me feel the warmth of finding the organization."

——

"It's really hard to report before the New Year."

Walking down the stairs, Li Xuewu said to Zhou Zechuan beside him: "I thought you would come after the New Year."

"The leader has a request, there is nothing I can do."

Zhou Zechuan shook his head and said: "He urged us to complete the procedures, so he called the factory to pick us up."

"Haha, there is no psychological gap, right?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and laughed, saying: "I used to be the leader of the working group, and now I am a comrade in the security team."

"Hahaha——"

Although Zhou Zechuan is a disciplinary supervisor, he does have a cold face at work, but he is a very easy-going personality in private.

I just don't know if this is the appearance or the essence, or whether it is a means of deliberately paralyzing others.

"What psychological gap? No."

He said very frankly: "I'm telling you, don't laugh at me, in fact, I applied to come to Red Star Factory myself."

"Oh, why is that?"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and asked: "Come down to exercise?"

"You are so straightforward--"

Zhou Zechuan saw that he asked the question without any concealment, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Now he took the initiative to explain: "Sitting in the office for a long time, I am unhappy and boring, especially when I see the welfare of your factory."

Walking to the lobby on the first floor, he pointed to the welfare notice on the bulletin board and said enviously: "I like this."

"Hehe--"

Li Xuewu chuckled, thinking to himself, I don't believe you!

"I have something to tell you, don't cry."

He deliberately lowered his voice and said cautiously: "You came at an inopportune time. The benefits you saw were from last year."

"Oh? Is there any difference?"

Zhou Zechuan seemed to really care about work benefits. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is it less this year?"

"Well, it's not less, it's much less."

Li Xuewu smiled helplessly: "More than 10,000 people become more than 90,000 people. You can do division, right? That's what it means."

"We also spent a lot of effort to arrange the salary and positions."

He emphasized: "It seems to be last year's welfare benefits. At least the Red Star Factory must complete the group construction and digest this opportunity."

"Wow, are you serious-"

Zhou Zechuan asked in surprise: "Then I will call the leader now and ask if it's too late to regret it now."

"Hahaha-"

Li Xuewu can now be sure that he is just talking nonsense!

——

The deputy team leader of the security team and the cadres of each department were called to the conference room, and Zhou Zechuan was introduced to everyone.

Zhou Zechuan gave a brief speech to the department cadres with a relatively gentle expression.

Then Li Xuewu and Sun Jian sent him to the prepared office, and this set of procedures was considered to be over.

The security team now has four team-level cadres, one chief and three deputy chiefs. Since the establishment of the security team, it has never fought such a rich battle.

However, he estimated that the deputy team leader would have to come.

Why?

Because he had to leave. Yu Decai was a cadre of the Red Star Factory, Zhou Zechuan was airdropped from above, and Wang Xiaoqin was an external aid.

Didn’t you find that something was missing from these people?

That’s right, it was the cadres of the 16 enterprises based on Jingcheng Industry, or the cadres of Jingcheng Industry.

The current security team is still the security team of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. According to the agreement with Jingcheng Industry, a complete steel rolling mill management team will be handed over to Jingcheng Industry in two years.

Looking at the current situation of three shifts in the workshop, overstaffing of the office, and overstaffing of the team, we can see that the security team is still short of one person.

This relatively redundant state will not last too long, and one year has passed in the three-year plan.

Since last year, the steel rolling mill has been under construction in Gangcheng. Once the Santaya Group finalizes the strip rolling technology introduced from America, the design plan will be improved.

And Jingcheng has also selected the site of the new steel rolling mill under Jingcheng Industry, and the groundbreaking ceremony will be held in the first half of the year.

In other words, within two years, these redundant cadres, structures, workers and equipment will be stripped out.

And within two years, the Red Star Factory will just carry out the group's slimming work, and the rhythm and plan are perfectly matched.

This is certainly not a coincidence, but has been designed long ago.

At that time, there will be two types of people who will be stripped out. One type is the personnel who have been determined by the original 16 enterprises.

The other type is the original employees of the Red Star Factory's steel rolling industry. If they do not want to work in Gangcheng, they can go to the new steel rolling mill.

Li Xuewu, who participated in the design of this downsizing plan, estimated that 20,000 people would be reduced by then.

Yes, the scale of the new steel rolling mill opened by Jingcheng Industry must be larger and more complete than the current Red Star Factory.

In addition to accepting all the existing steel rolling industrial equipment of the Red Star Factory, they also merged some enterprises for machining.

This is still riding the wind of the supply chain. Steel rolling is matched with machining. Even if it is OEM, it can support 20,000 employees.

The construction company that Hongxing Factory is currently planning to build has the largest project, in addition to Liangmahe Industrial Zone and Gangcheng Industrial Zone, the new Beijing No. 1 Steel Rolling Plant in Fengtai.

The original name of Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant was the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant of Shou D. Later, it merged the No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 plants, and it was renamed Hongxing Factory.

Now Beijing Industry is also inspiring. It directly built the No. 1 Steel Rolling Plant, which seems to have the meaning of calling the number with Hongxing Factory.

Otherwise, why did Lao Li mutter that he taught the apprentice and starved the master to death.

In the existing organizational structure, the cadres trained for Beijing No. 1 Steel Rolling Plant are all deputies, and they are not full.

The purpose is very simple, that is, they don’t want to spend more money. If they give the other party a complete team, how much salary will they have to spend in two years.

First, equip one and wait for the last six months to rush and equip a complete team.

In doing so, Lao Li also has other purposes.

When the Red Star Factory is to be grouped, some troublemakers who are disobedient will be directly matched to the team of Beijing No. 1 Steel Rolling Mill, and they will be kicked out.

They have been promoted and appointed, so there is nothing to say, and they can only accept their fate.

It doesn't matter where you work, at least you stay in Beijing.

Isn't the new deputy director Bai Changshan of the Management Committee Office such a role?

Those with obvious labels will leave in the future, which has also formed a circle within the Red Star Factory.

The cadres in this circle will inevitably unite naturally, and may even temporarily affect the organizational ecology of the Red Star Factory.

So Lao Li uses ruthless people, such as Li Xuewu.
