Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Who says it's not the case? How can you work without oil and water in your stomach?"

Nie Liansheng raised his eyes and looked around, and said: "Sometimes we can only come here to have a tooth ceremony and eat some pickled vegetables without oil and water."

As he spoke, Nie Liansheng looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "What does your friend want? Does he really want a white bar?"

Hearing Nie Liansheng's "sour and vegetable" words, Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I really want it, not just liquor, but also the specialties here."

"How much?"

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu said nothing and continued to eat the sauerkraut in the pot, picking it up with chopsticks.

"It seems that our friends in Beijing are different. Their appetites are bigger than those in Steel City."

Nie Liansheng lit a cigarette for Li Xuewu and then lit one for himself. He squinted his eyes and said, "What a coincidence, I also have a friend who is in a similar situation to your friend. Life is also very difficult. Alas. !”

"Drink, drink! Who doesn't have two friends in difficulty!"

"drink!"

While talking, the two drank another drink.

As soon as he put down his wine glass, he saw the lesbian who was talking to Nie Liansheng downstairs walking in with a plate of fried peanuts and a plate of salted duck eggs.

"Captain Nie, I'll give you and this big brother two more dishes!"

"Put it here, put it here!"

As he spoke, Nie Liansheng looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "Are we Steel City people enthusiastic?"

Li Xuewu smiled at the woman who came in and said nothing.

Nie Liansheng placed his glass on the edge of the table and poured a glass of wine into it.

He smiled and said, "Xiuzhi, this is my friend from the capital. How does it look? Hahaha."

This woman, whom Nie Liansheng called Xiuzhi, didn't give in. She picked up the wine glass that Nie Liansheng had poured out and gestured to Li Xuewu: "It turns out that the eldest brother is from the capital. No wonder he looks extraordinary."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and said to Li Xuewu with a smile: "Since you are a friend of Captain Nie, you are also a friend of us Steel City people. I would like to toast you on behalf of our store."

Just when Li Xuewu's hand touched the wine glass, the woman had already swallowed two taels of wine without blinking.

Li Xuewu glanced at Nie Liansheng with a smile, and then drained the wine in the bottom of the woman's glass.

"Thank you, big brother!"

This woman was obviously a hero in the wine. She smiled brightly at Li Xuewu, signaled to Nie Liansheng and then left.

After finishing his drink, Li Xuewu placed the cup on the table without moving his chopsticks, and just looked at Nie Liansheng.

This is called back and forth, and now is the time for Nie Liansheng to express his views.

This woman didn't just come in casually, and Nie Liansheng didn't just let him drink.

What's more important is the tacit understanding between this woman and Nie Liansheng.

If Nie Liansheng could get this woman to toast him, he had to give himself an explanation.

Li Xuewu didn't eat everyone's toast.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Nie Liansheng took the initiative to take Li Xuewu's wine bottle and poured Li Xuewu a drink, and said with a smile: "Thank you brother for giving me face."

Yes, from the Li Chubian brothers in this sentence, you can know what Nie Liansheng means.

"She is my confidante. I know that the people I can bring here are good friends, so I am very kind to you."

"Hahaha"

Li Xuewu picked up his wine glass and touched it with Nie Liansheng.

It seems that Nie Liansheng is an old-school figure and still talks about this old etiquette.

Seeing that Li Xuewu had a drink on the left and a drink on the right, and he was not drunk at all, Nie Liansheng was already trembling in his heart.

The Niulanshan temperature at 52 degrees Celsius tastes like hot water at 52 degrees Celsius.

"Has your accommodation been settled?"

Nie Liansheng took a mouthful of pickled cabbage to suppress the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue on the table.

Li Xuewu took a bite of blood sausage. The taste was indeed authentic, but it didn't taste like his mother.

Remember, except your mother, no one can make you miss your loved ones, so don’t listen to some people’s nonsense.

This blood sausage has no bloody smell, and has a faint medicinal aroma.

"It's at the villa we went to last time, huh huh"

"oh?"

Nie Liansheng raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face became thicker, knowing that this was Li Xuewu replying to his words.

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I should rest there these days. You can go and sit when you are free, but I can't go back until night."

"knew"

The two of them stopped talking about this topic, but talked about the customs and customs of Steel City and anecdotes about the capital.

They were like good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. One was in his forties and the other was in his twenties. The two of them felt that they trusted each other.

No! It was Nie Liansheng who felt he trusted Li Xuewu.

And Li Xuewu...

After drinking and eating, it was already past one in the afternoon.

The two of them went downstairs, and Nie Liansheng took Li Xuewu and left directly without mentioning the matter of settling the bill.

Seeing that Nie Liansheng didn't mention it, Li Xuewu pretended not to know and followed him away.

This is Nie Liansheng showing off his power to Li Xuewu, and also showing off his own weaknesses to Li Xuewu.

Bringing up the bill at this time not only slaps Nie Liansheng in the face, but also means that what was just said at the wine table does not count.

Seeing Nie Liansheng leaving with a red face and a look of alcohol on his face, the man named Xiuzhi followed him out.

"Have you eaten, brother?"

"Haha, thank you for your hospitality!"

"Brother, you're welcome!"

After saying these two words, Li Xuewu opened the car door and jumped into the 212.

Nie Liansheng pulled the car door but did not open it, almost slipping.

"Look at it carefully! Maomao is stunned. Are you comparing yourself to young people?"

The woman held Nie Liansheng's arm and reached out to open the car door.

"Hehehe"

Nie Liansheng looked at the woman with a smile, got into the car, and touched the woman's face before closing the door.

"Hehehe, go back to the house, it's so cold, let's go"

The woman glared at Nie Liansheng, but didn't say anything. She stood on the roadside and watched as Nie Liansheng drove out before he even closed the door.

Nie Liansheng lay on the seat, took a breath of alcohol, and then said: "Her man is from our team, six shots, haha, leave Yaer and Xiaoer behind."

Li Xuewu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gestured to Nie Liansheng.

Seeing Nie Liansheng take out one and light it, he put his hand back to his mouth, held one in his mouth, and lit it for himself with a lighter.

"It's normal. He's lucky. There are people at home taking care of him. Many of us haven't had a wife yet, and we haven't even picked up the bones or scraps."

Li Xuewu doesn't take these things seriously now, and he is better able to understand these things from another perspective.

It's all about money. Everyone who has money is a loving child. If you don't have money, let alone love. Your children will starve to death first.

Maybe it was because he had seen too much life and death, so Li Xuewu naturally had a strong aura about him.

It is said that it is a fierce aura, and it is said that it is a murderous aura. In fact, it is just a willfulness that is used to life and death and has no regard for human life.

Nie Liansheng has seen many people, so he naturally knows who Li Xuewu is and dares to make friends with Li Xuewu.

When he arrived at the compound of Nie Liansheng's unit, he didn't say anything to Li Xuewu. Instead, he jumped out of the car, waved his hand, and turned around and entered the compound.

Li Xuewu stepped on the accelerator and returned to the steel plant.

It was very quiet around the steelmaking plant at this moment, with only the guards on guard.

Li Xuewu stopped the car and saw Yu Decai walking out of the guest house door wiping his sweat.

"Ah, Section Chief Li, you are back."

Yu Decai was thinking about something when he saw Li Xuewu coming over. He suddenly raised his head and was startled.

Li Xuewu looked at the sweat on Yu Decai's forehead, squinted his eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Yu Decai followed Li Xuewu's gaze and touched his forehead, and then he noticed the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Hehe...hehe, it's hot in the room, it's hot in the room."

Li Xuewu looked at the factory secretary who was wiping his hands on his pants, and patted Yu Decai on the shoulder as he walked into the room.

Feeling Li Xuewu's hand holding his shoulder, Yu Decai shuddered and his legs almost bent.

When I came down from the stairs, my legs were shaking, and now I felt that all the strength in my body was lost with sweat.

"Let's sit in the house for a while before leaving. It's such a cold day, so be careful of catching a cold."

Li Xuewu's voice came from behind, accompanied by the sound of the door closing.

Yu Decai looked back at the wooden door that was still swinging, gritted his teeth, wiped his hands hard on his pants, turned around and followed Li Xuewu into the guest house again.

The Steel City Guest House is smaller than the one at the Steel Rolling Mill, but it has all the necessary things.

Li Xuewu pointed to the rest area next to him and motioned for Yu Decai to sit down.

At this moment, the sun shines through the treetops and shines right on the sofa in the lounge area of ​​the hall.

Yu Decai gestured to the waiter who was standing at the bar looking over, and sat down with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu sat on the sofa with his back to the sun, while Yu Decai sat sideways against the glass window and glanced at Li Xuewu carefully.

The waiter quickly brought a pot of tea and two cups to this side.

Yu Decai stopped the waiter with his hand and poured tea for Li Xuewu and himself.

Li Xuewu crossed his legs and leaned sideways on the sofa. He looked at the somewhat "bald" Yu Decai and asked, "How old are you?"

Yu Decai's hand holding the teapot shook, then he placed the teapot on the tray and placed the cup in his hand on the coffee table in front of Li Xuewu.

"I was born in 1931 and am 36 this year."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and refused Yu Decai's offer to light a cigarette. He put his hand on his lap and motioned for Yu Decai to sit down.

"Where are you from?"

Yu Decai was sitting on the sofa with his butt halfway up. Looking at Li Xuewu's casual look, he was a little unsure as to why Li Xuewu asked this.

But now no one in the steelmaking plant dares to refuse to answer questions asked by people like Li Xuewu from the main plant.

"I am a local from Steel City. My father used to be a worker in a steel factory. I was also lucky enough to go to school until I graduated from junior high school."

"Well"

Li Xuewu nodded, looked at the steaming tea cup on the coffee table and said casually: "Fu Haibo and his family are also locals from Steel City, right?".

"Forehead……"

Yu Decai's face froze and he looked at Li Xuewu, not knowing what he meant.

"I... Fu Haibo and I are not from the same place. I only found out that he was from Gangcheng after he was transferred back."

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I just said it casually, don't be nervous."

"Yes, yes, not nervous"

Yu Decai laughed and then explained: "Many people in our factory are locals from the Steel City, because most of their fathers are old people in the steel factory and were in the steel factory before liberation, so there are many children of workers."

"I understand, I am a hero and a good man."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, glancing at the guard who was leading the dog through the window.

"He's not a hero, he's just planting trees for those who came before him to enjoy the shade. We have nothing to follow, we can only follow in the footsteps of our fathers."

Yu Decai picked up the teacup in front of him to moisten his parched throat, but kept his eyes fixed on Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu looked at the guest house and said casually: "This is a good thing and a bad thing."

Yu Decai didn't know what Li Xuewu wanted to say, so he didn't answer, but listened carefully.

Li Xuewu pointed to the style of the hall and asked, "What was used here before?"

Yu Decai couldn't keep up with Li Xuewu's questioning style, which was all about a hammer and a stick, and he was obviously stunned for a moment.

Then he glanced at the hall and replied: "Ah, this is, this is the office of the former boss of the steel mill."

As he spoke, he introduced with gestures with his hands: "The entire three floors of the building belong to him, and there are office spaces for the affairs secretary, financial secretary, general affairs secretary, etc."

"After taking over, it was turned into a guest house, and experts from the north stayed there for more than a year."

Li Xuewu looked at the patterns on the roof and asked, "In what year was the steelmaking plant assigned to the steel rolling mill?"

"60 years, you know the reason"

When Yu Decai saw Li Xuewu looking at the roof without saying anything, he knew that he had made another mistake.

When leaders ask questions, you cannot use rhetorical questions. It doesn’t matter whether you know it or not. Just say what you are asked.

"After the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant took over the task of manufacturing and experimenting with special materials, it needed the research of special materials, so the industry assigned our low-capacity steelmaking plant to the direct jurisdiction of the steel rolling plant."

"Yeah, I know something."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Looking at the information, it seems that this place used to be a research factory."

"yes"

Seeing Li Xuewu mentioning business, Yu Decai introduced: "This used to be a factory for research and production of machinery. The steel was refined by ourselves. After the experiment was successful, it would be handed over to other factories for mass production."

Li Xuewu glanced at the tall towers standing in the distance outside the glass behind him, and said: "Each era has its own masters, and each era has its own requirements. Now the management of enterprises has put forward higher and higher requirements for our generation. more complex requirements".

He turned his head, looked at Yu Decai and said: "If we don't want to fall behind, we must keep pace with the times, keep learning, and keep exploring. Of course, it is inevitable to make mistakes during the exploration process."

Yu Decai nodded, holding his knees with his hands, listening to Li Xuewu continue to speak.

Li Xuewu gently shook the hand on his leg and continued: "We allow mistakes to be made on the road of exploration, but we cannot forgive those who go further and further on the wrong road, especially those who abandon their ideals and The man of original faith.”

Yu Decai's forehead, which had just been dry, became wet again, and he clearly felt the pressure from Li Xuewu opposite him.

Li Xuewu did not care about virtue and talent, but said seriously: "From the problem of the collapse of the steel plant, we can see the crux of the enterprise management, that is, the insufficient flow of talents."

Yu Decai looked at the tea cup that he had drank dry, and swallowed his dry and sore throat. However, seeing Li Xuewu talking, he did not dare to pick up the teapot.

Li Xuewu put down his legs, leaned over to pick up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for the somewhat panicked Yu Decai.

After putting down the teapot, he said to Decai: "Xiao Changqing is an example. He has reached this point. This is the organization's fault and his own fault."

"No no no"

Yu Decai glanced at Li Xuewu in surprise. He did not expect that Li Xuewu could actually say that the organization was wrong.

But he still quickly waved his hands and said: "We did something wrong...".

"hehe"

Li Xuewu chuckled lightly, then shook his legs and asked: "Is it difficult to admit your mistakes? Will you lose your head?"

"Hehe...hehe..."

Li Xuewu ignored Yu Decai's dry smile and said: "The main factory will pay more attention to the exchange and flow of talents and cadres in the future, and will no longer let local cadres hold leadership positions for a long time."

He smiled and glanced at Yu Decai, who looked embarrassed, and then said: "If something is wrong, it is wrong. Organizations have the courage to admit mistakes and correct them."

"Of course, we will also forgive individuals who have the courage to admit and correct their mistakes, and give such comrades who know their mistakes and can correct them the opportunity to continue to serve the people and realize themselves."

"plum……"

Li Xuewu waved his hand, stopped Yu Decai's words, and said with a smile: "Of course, if you make mistakes you will be punished, if you have merit you will remember it, and the organization will know your merits."

He stood up while speaking, smiled and said to Yu Decai, who stood up quickly: "Sit for a while, drink some hot tea, and wait until you stop sweating before leaving, that's it."

As he spoke, Li Xuewu nodded to Yu Decai and walked towards the stairs.

Yu Decai stood by the coffee table, hunched slightly, watching Li Xuewu disappear at the top of the stairs, and suddenly fell down on the sofa under the surprised gaze of the bartender.

Yu Decai was bent over, covering his face with his hands and lying on his knees, unable to get up for a long time.

This state lasted for more than half an hour, and Deputy Director Yang Mingsu, who was invited by the disciplinary supervision cadres of the steelmaking plant, was not even seen coming in.

The waiter saw that Secretary Yu, who had never lost his temper before, ignored Deputy Factory Director Yang, and Deputy Factory Director Yang didn't pay attention either. He followed the disciplinary inspection cadre upstairs with a strange look on his face.

But Deputy Director Yang went upstairs to take a look at the sofa in the rest area and was still seen by the waiter.

The cadres who came here today were taciturn when they came in, and had different expressions on their faces when they walked out.

The waiter was surprised. When did the factory leaders learn to change their faces?

"Shu~"

The waiter was just thinking about these strange things when he saw Secretary Yu, who was stooped just now, suddenly stood up, drank the tea on the coffee table, and went upstairs again with a pale face.

Li Xuewu walked along the corridor to the end, asked the guard guarding the door about Luo Jiaping's status, then said something to the cadre guarding the door of the interview room, and then returned to the bedroom assigned to him.

This time it was not Li Xuewu who took the lead in organizing the case, so he was not so desperate. Everyone was in his hands, it was just a matter of time.

Moreover, Li Xuewu didn't want to talk to those old guys. Talking without being able to play games would be boring.

Not to mention, this was a secretary's office before. The decoration was really nice and the room was warm. Li Xuewu took off his outer coat and lay on the bed.

It was already dark when Li Xuewu woke up.

The dark time in Steel City is earlier than that in Beijing. Li Xuewu looked at his watch and saw that it was only a little after 5:30.

Standing up from the bed, carrying the toothbrush and toothbrush, he walked to the bathroom and started brushing his teeth and washing his face.

While washing, Yang Zongfang, who lived in the same room as Li Xuewu, opened the door and walked in.

"Hey! Wake up!"

Yang Zongfang greeted Li Xuewu with a smile, then put her handbag on the bed. She smiled and asked Li Xuewu who came out to wipe his face with a towel: "What did you say to Yu Decai?"

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu put the towel on the iron railing at the head of the bed and gave Yang Zongfang a cigarette.

After both of them puffed up their voices, they smiled and said, "I didn't say anything, I just talked about what was in my heart."

"Good guy!"

Yang Zongfang took a puff of cigarette, grinned and puffed out the smoke from his nostrils and said with a smile: "He had runny nose and burst into tears. Hearing this made me want to cry with him."

"Hahaha, does this mean that my heart-to-heart talk was unintentional?"

Yang Zongfang didn't know if it was unintentional, but Yang Zongfang knew how powerful Li Xuewu was.

This is such a good candidate to be a discipline supervisor.

But this seedling grew a little too tall and too fast, and I almost couldn't see it.

"Secretary Yang said, you will be the first to win this time."

"Hahaha"

Looking at Yang Zongfang's envious look, Li Xuewu smiled and said: "It's all about merit and failure. The glory belongs to the collective and the achievements belong to the organization."

"You said you were fat and you were out of breath! You were snoring this afternoon and I heard it in the conversation room!"

The two of them finished their cigarettes in the room, Yang Zongfang washed his face, and then they carried their lunch boxes and followed the queue in the corridor to the room at the head of the stairs.

The room temporarily converted into a conference room also serves as a temporary restaurant. The staff live and eat on the third floor and basically do not go downstairs to interact with outsiders.

Unless someone like Li Xuewu does not participate in the review.

Seeing Li Xuewu and Yang Zongfang enter the room, Secretary Yang, who was already sitting at the table, waved and said: "Come on, let our hero today sit at the top."

"Ha ha ha ha"

The work has made progress, everyone has smiles on their faces, and they all started making jokes about Li Xuewu along with Secretary Yang.

Li Xuewu turned pale, smiled and said to Secretary Yang: "If you can smile like this every day, then I would really like to sit in the first place."

"Hahaha"

Everyone is willing to listen to auspicious words. It is better to work well than to be at a loss.

Li Xuewu packed a large box of sorghum rice with a lunch box, and a box of potato stewed cabbage strips with a few gada meat on top of another lunch box.

Seeing pickles and melon seeds on the table, Li Xuewu picked one up with chopsticks and put it in his lunch box. He smiled and said to the waiter: "What about this kind of treatment? This is a good thing."

Joking, he walked to Secretary Yang and sat down, and asked Han Zhan, who was sitting opposite, "Is there nothing going on this afternoon?"

Han Zhan swallowed the sorghum rice in his mouth, shook his head at Li Xuewu, and said, "It's very quiet."

"Well, keep the machine guns on the third floor and in the car away from people. Anyone who dares to force their way in will be shot directly!"

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't care, Secretary Yang's eyes trembled and he patted Li Xuewu on the shoulder. He didn't say anything and continued to eat.

After dinner, Secretary Yang took Li Xuewu to the detention room in Luojiaping.

"You will be out in the field soon. Yu Decai gave me some clues. Go and take a look."

As he spoke, he had already reached the door of Luojiaping's room. Secretary Yang stopped and said to Li Xuewu: "By the way, take the comrades from the steel mill and Zong Fang to Yang Mingsu's house."

Li Xuewu glanced at the room next to Luojiaping. There were already people standing guard there.

Secretary Yang ignored Li Xuewu's eyes and opened the door and entered Luo Jiaping's room.

At this moment, Luo Jiaping was sitting on a chair, looking at the paintings on the wall in trance.

Li Xuewu walked into the house and did not bother with Luojiaping. Instead, he checked the facilities in the house again, and then nodded to the two guards on duty.

Secretary Yang sat on the bed, looked at Luo Jiaping opposite, and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Luo Jiaping glanced at Secretary Yang with squinted eyes, moved his fingers, and said, "I reserve the right to react to the superiors, but it's up to you now."

Li Xuewu crossed his arms and looked at Luojiaping, then at Secretary Yang who looked serious.

Secretary Yang nodded and said, "Then just wait for us."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out.

Li Xuewu also walked out.

It was obvious that Luo Jiaping in the room still had illusions and was dismissive of Secretary Yang's inquiry, which was obviously not the first time.

Secretary Yang only frowned, without any angry expression.

Looking at Yang Zongfang who was ready, Secretary Yang turned to Li Xuewu and said: "Go and pay attention to safety."

"yes!"

Li Xuewu saluted and took Yang Zongfang downstairs.

Six security guards were already standing in the hall at the entrance, all fully armed.

Li Xuewu waved his hand to everyone to start, and everyone filed out and got directly into the duty car at the door.

Today's escorts have performed many special missions and there is no need to stress the requirements.

Li Xuewu sat in the back seat of the duty car and said to the driver: "Go to the Steel City Workers Club first."

The driver had already looked at the map of Steel City all day long. For those who didn’t understand, there were local comrades who would lead the way.

The vehicle drove directly out of the steel plant in the night.

The Steel City Workers Club was built at the beginning of this era. It is located in the middle of Shengli Street, facing east and west, and looks across the street from the Steel City Bank, guarding the thousand-year-old city that has witnessed the vicissitudes of the world.

Li Xuewu slammed the car door and allowed the guards to jump out of the car and rush to the door to restrain the club's security guards.

“Be aware of the impact.”

Yang Zongfang watched the guard push forward and push the guard against the wall, and he couldn't help but grinned and reminded Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu held a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at the club building with squinted eyes.

This is a rather Russian-style building, with bungalows on both wings, two floors in the middle, and a Gothic spire, like a flying eagle.

The blue tile decorative partitions on the eaves complement the bright yellow exterior walls, which is even more pleasing to the eye.

"It's okay, we have power in Steel City, hehehe"

As soon as Li Xuewu finished speaking, Nie Liansheng, who had just returned home and lay down, sneezed.

Even Shen Fang, who was miserably deceived by Li Xuewu in the capital, looked back at the branch building, cursed a certain unloyal grandson in a low voice, turned around and hurried home, as if someone behind him wanted to chase him back. of.

Li Xuewu could see the club building so clearly at night entirely because of the lights on the open space in front of the club.

It's still relatively trendy here, probably because immigrants account for the majority of the population in Steel City.

In the spacious open space in front of the club, a lighted basketball court, which was quite trendy in this era, was built. Several rows of huge chandeliers illuminated the area as bright as day.

Especially on the ground where the snow is piled up and a large piece of terrazzo has been cleared, some young people who are not afraid of the cold are playing basketball.

“In a young city, even the people look young and energetic.”

Yang Zongfang couldn't help but sigh when he saw Li Xuewu looking at the basketball court.

Li Xuewu glanced at the jeep at the bicycle parking area, looked at the sentimental Yang Zongfang, and said with a smile: "Looking back, I will suggest Secretary Yang to keep you here, so that you can stay young forever."

"Hahaha, we have to stay together!"

Li Xuewu didn't wait for Yang Zongfang and walked towards the club door first.

The daytime club is a haven for culture, as the indoor reading room is open to the public.

At night, this is where young men and women go to have fun and relax after a hard day's work.

Li Xuewu opened the door, holding a cigarette in his mouth, like a ruffian, and walked into the lively hall.

On the high platform, the conductor made a light gesture, and the drummer beat a brisk drum rhythm. The loud and melodious music suddenly sounded in the dance hall.

Couples, couples, and dancing partners are like pairs of butterflies, spinning and dancing briskly.

Li Xuewu looked at the order of tonight's dance music written on the blackboard at the door.

"Evening on the outskirts of Mosiko", "Cranberry Blossoms", "Hawthorn Tree"...

According to the comrades from the steel plant who followed, it is worth mentioning that the people responsible for the music accompaniment of the dance hall are the brass band of Gangcheng Steel Plant,

The band has trombones, cornets, tubas, trumpets, French horns, flutes, flutes, drums...all available.

The musicians all have unique skills, which makes every day's dance even more exciting.

Li Xuewu held the cigarette in his hand and took a puff. He waved his hand to signal Yang Zongfang who had followed him to stand here and wait for him.

Then he led the comrades from the steel mill and walked in along the edge of the dance floor.

The dancing at this time was not the crappy stuff that was later introduced from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but a serious waltz.

But there was no lights-out program, which made Li Xuewu, who came here for the first time, a little bit regretful.

After all, the girls in this room are wearing Bragi.

On the reading desk resting along the wall were unfinished beverage bottles, and there were playing cards and other things on the table.

Li Xuewu followed the comrades from the steel mill and walked half a circle inside, when he saw a young man in his mid-30s swinging wantonly in the middle of the dance floor with his arms around a big girl wearing a red bragi.

I have to say that this dance step is very beautiful, and it has a bit of meaning. It seems that it is danced a lot.

Waving to Comrade Gangcheng who signaled to him, Li Xuewu swayed onto the dance floor with a cigarette in his mouth.

It's like a drunkard who can't dance, without a dance partner, wandering alone to the center of the dance floor.

Yang Zongfang, who was standing at the door, looked at Li Xuewu with a funny look.

This guy is so out of tune sometimes!

Li Xuewu held a cigarette in his hand and smiled mischievously at the girl in red who looked at him, making the girl roll her eyes.

Li Xuewu didn't care and moved towards the girl. Just when the girl in red thought that Li Xuewu was here to harass her.

Just when the girl in red was about to sternly reject the toad, she saw the toad pat her partner on the shoulder.

Um? male……

The girl in red watched helplessly as the toad patted her dance partner on the shoulder, and her dance partner's enthusiasm for twisting against her was interrupted, and he turned around with a frown.

"boom!"

"Ah! Uh..."

Li Xuewu ignored the young man who was knocked down by him, but stretched out his hand to lift the chin of the red Braji girl, suppressing the girl's screams.

The girl's chin was suddenly raised and her tongue was bitten. Her screams naturally stopped, and then her face was filled with shock and anger.

You don't have to hit anyone just to dance with me!

Although competition between the opposite sex makes girls happy, it is not good to be so violent.

Just when the girl was about to condemn the violent toad, Li Xuewu bent down and grabbed the young man's collar and walked towards the door.

"you……!"

The girl wanted to ask: You are like this, aren't you here just for me?

Everyone on the dance floor had long been frightened by the unexpected situation. The band had stopped playing, and the young men and women dancing were leaning on each other and looking at each other.

Li Xuewu carried the young man with tomato sauce on his face to the door. Under the watchful eyes of Yang Zongfang, who had not yet recovered from the astonishment on his face, he handed it over to the two escorts who walked in.

Just when Yang Zongfang was about to grin and say something, Li Xuewu turned around with a cigarette in his mouth and raised his hand in front of the audience.

Li Xuewu was seen smiling and shouting at the "staring" band on the stage and the "dumb" young men and women on the dance floor: "Keep playing, keep dancing!"

"Hahahahaha"

Li Xuewu laughed, turned around and put his arm around Yang Zongfang's shoulders and walked out of the gate of the Steel City Workers Club.

After waiting for the car at the door, Li Xuewu took out a car key from the young man's pocket and threw it to Qi Delong in the car.

Chidelon took the keys, jumped out of the car and ran to the jeep in the storage area.

Li Xuewu ignored him and took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket and threw it to the young man lying on the carriage floor.

"Case"

The young man felt the car start, shook his groggy head, and asked in a muffled voice: "I don't seem to recognize you, do we have no grudges?"

The carriage was very dark, and the young man had not seen what Li Xuewu and others were wearing, but he clearly remembered the faces he saw when he turned around.

Li Xuewu smiled at Yang Zongfang who was sitting across the carriage, then looked down at the young man and shook his face with a flashlight.

"Who asked you to steal my partner!"

"What the hell!"

The young man wiped his nose with toilet paper and said, "Just because of a woman, you are so cruel?"

As he spoke, he reached out and missed Li Xuewu's flashlight, which he shined on him, and said angrily: "Just like just now, tell me, how many do you want?"

As he spoke, the young man stood up unsteadily on his knees, followed the sway of the car, and sat directly next to Li Xuewu.

"Pfft~"

He used the toilet paper in his hand to wake up his nose, and then said to Li Xuewu: "Give me more paper!"

Seeing him asking for paper so confidently, Li Xuewu took out another Gadaer from his pocket.

Just as he was about to tear half of it open and give it to him, the young man grabbed it directly.

"Bring it here, I'm going to ask you for some paper and you'll be charged for it."

I wiped my nose again, feeling a little more comfortable, and then said: "I also met Shao Min two days ago. She didn't say she had a partner. If I knew, I would never touch her."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to Li Xuewu and explained: "It's not about disgust, it's about morality!"

Li Xuewu stretched out his hand and said, "That's because I'm excited. What's your name?"

The young man patted Li Xuewu's hand and said, "Don't come here, I don't want to talk to you."

Throwing the paper in his hand on the ground, he looked at Li Xuewu and said, "See, you are also powerful. Tell me, which road are you on? There is no one in this steel city that I, Luo Cheng, don't recognize." .

Li Xuewu shook off the slap and said with a smile: "Our family has just been transferred here and we are really not familiar with this place."

"Fuck! Just hit people when you enter the city!"

Luo Cheng glared at Li Xuewu, then glanced at the dark figures in the carriage and said, "Are you from the courtyard? There are quite a lot of people, and they are quite peaceful."

Li Xuewu did not explain, but asked: "They all said that you are a good calligrapher, so I just want to try your best calligraphy skills."

"Chi~"

Luo Cheng sneered and said: "You guys are all in the same circle. No one knows who is who. Someone is definitely hacking me. Tell me, who told you?"

"Hehehe, if you keep your moral principles, I can't betray my friends, right?"

Luo Cheng looked in Li Xuewu's direction and said, "Cheng, I won't ask, but can you tell me what to do about this matter?"

Li Xuewu smiled "hehe" and said, "Tell me, what do you think we should do?"

Listening to this creepy evil smile, Luo Cheng grinned and said, "Whether you want money or a woman, you decide! My father said that the only problem that can be solved with money is women. What do you want?"

Li Xuewu stepped on the steel plate under his feet and said with a smile: "We are new here, and we don't want to overdo things. I know that Mr. Luo is very wealthy, and I would like to ask if there is any way to make money together."

"Grass!"

Luo Cheng cursed and asked disdainfully: "Kill people, set fire to the road, and rob the road. How dare you do it?"

Before Li Xuewu could speak, he continued to ask: "Deceive, kidnap, and resell, how dare you do it?"

Li Xuewu took out the dagger from the waist of the team member next to him and pressed it against Luo Cheng's thigh.

"If you keep talking nonsense with me, I'll make a hole for you!"

Luo Cheng looked at the black shadow on his legs, feeling the sharp edge through his pants against his skin, and said stubbornly: "What do you have, just ask me for connections. My family has a lot of business, but it's all about weight." You guys, you guys, are you going to resist with your shoulders?"

Li Xuewu patted Luo Cheng's thigh with a dagger and said, "Tell me a few businesses that make me give up. If I really can't do it, you can give me some money."

As he spoke, he emphasized: "Also, a girl who is even more energetic than Shao Min!"
