Men and women eating in the courtyard

Silly Zhu was still confused as to why he still had his own phone number.

It turned out that the factory director had assigned tasks, special tasks.

Well, today’s get off work is considered a waste, I can’t leave early.

He had short hair and his head was wrapped in gauze. He wandered to the gate and waited like a gangster.

The factory director called him for nothing else and wanted to take him to a leader's house to cook a meal for him.

He had done this kind of errand before, but it was not for the leader, but for himself.

If someone is getting married and doing things, I can rely on acquaintances to find him and he will do it.

In fact, the small canteen of this guest house has a chef with better skills, but Yang Fengshan just doesn't use it.

One is because Li Xuewu has greater influence in the guest house, and indirectly he doesn't want Li Huaide to know about his affairs.

Another leader I was going to meet today liked to eat Sichuan cuisine, so he found He Yuzhu, a Sichuan cuisine chef, to follow him.

There is a gathering at the leader's house today, and Yang Fengshan also wants to take this opportunity to report to the leader the recent work of the steel rolling mill.

The other thing is to ask the leaders for advice on the things we have been doing these days to support the frontiers and joint enterprises.

The current policy is really uncertain, even if he is the director of the factory, he is not sure.

It's spring, there's a lot of wind, and I don't know where the wind is blowing.

When it was time to get off work, Yang Fengshan finished the work at hand and saw that the people in the agency were almost gone before he went downstairs.

Gas Jeep picked up He Yuzhu, who had been waiting for a long time, at the door and drove all the way south.

Yang Fengshan saw He Yuzhu's appearance far away from the gate. When he got in the car, he asked about the injury.

Silly Zhu didn't dare to brag here and told the truth directly.

The factory director expressed concern for a few words, and then told Silly Zhu to be polite and not to cause trouble.

Of course Silly Zhu agreed wholeheartedly. He patted his pocket with a smile and said he was wearing a chef hat.

The chef's hat at this time was very similar to the doctor's hat and nurse's hat in the hospital, and was also worn by waiters in grocery stores.

He also knows that if he goes out with his boss, he will be a blatant eyesore.

Especially when I saw the vehicle entering the compound where the security guard was standing guard, I understood this truth even more.

When the jeep arrived at the entrance of a villa, Si Zhu got out of the car and saw the projectionist from the factory was there.

This is no longer Xu Damao, but his virtues are similar.

Silly Zhu didn't care and followed the secretary's lead to the kitchen.

Yang Fengshan went to the living room and met the secretary Yang Yuansong who arrived first, and went to meet the leader together.

"The rain is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building."

A middle-aged cadre wearing a navy blue Chinese tunic suit pointed at Yang Fengshan and the others and said, "I'm not asking you to come for dinner today, I'm here to give you a blowjob."

As soon as we met the leader, we exchanged a few pleasantries, and then we watched an internal expansion film under the leadership of the leader.

When we came out, the leader held a small meeting with a few people to convey the current spirit.

Yang Fengshan and Yang Yuansong looked at each other, both hesitant to report on the situation in the factory now.

Of course, the leader noticed the little actions of the two, waved his hand, and winked at the secretary when he came in to ask for instructions to eat.

Yang Fengshan and Yang Yuansong both saw it, so they only talked about life and not work during the meal.

After the leaders of other units left, the two of them followed the leaders to the study room and reported on the work in the factory.

"You all know the current situation. You should consider this matter more carefully."

The leader took off his glasses and placed them on the desk.

"It's better to be quiet than to move."

"yes"

Yang Fengshan and the secretary looked at each other, and then said to the leader: "We will have a meeting to discuss this matter again when we get back."

"You don't understand what I mean."

The leader waved his hand and said to Yang Fengshan: "I want you to think carefully. It's not that I won't let you work, and it's not that I will tie your hands and feet and prevent you from developing."

"The steel rolling mill is a key enterprise of the ministry. You have to bear more severe responsibilities."

"Leader, you mean?"

"Quiet, how quiet you want to be depends on your control."

The leader stretched out his hand, clenched his fist and said: "Under your leadership, the rolling mill should be silent when it says it is quiet, and move when it is said to move."

"You have the final say on how to be quiet, and you have the final say on how to move."

“Thank you for the leadership’s criticism”

Yang Fengshan now understood what the leader meant. He was criticizing his lack of control over the steel rolling mill.

Last year, accidents occurred one after another in the steel rolling mill, and the steelmaking plant of the affiliated unit even had cadre discipline issues related to collapse.

This made the higher-ups also consider his leadership ability and ability to control the situation.

The fact that the leader can say this to him at home today is already sending a very urgent signal, which is very noteworthy.

"Of course, the work idea you proposed is correct."

The leader nodded and said: "Now the comrades in charge of the economy are also trying to find ways to revitalize the market, and they are crossing the river by feeling the stones."

"This idea of ​​multiple companies using remaining resources to jointly set up factories and enterprises to seek development for the overall situation is worth thinking about and learning from."

The leader sat back in his chair, thought for a while and said, "As I said, if you can control it, then try the depth of the river step by step. If you can't stand still, don't go into the river!"

——

This is how government agencies handle things, and Li Xuewu has long been used to it.

Things haven't been done yet, the benefits have already been distributed.

It's really not about how much money or benefits you can get here. The salary is fixed and you get the money no matter how much you do.

But why do some leaders still arrange their cronies and support their subordinates to take on important positions?

Because of the struggle, the struggle for the right to speak and the right to execute.

Although the final result of a thing is the same, who leads it and who does it is the most important thing.

A canteen director knows how to look at the situation, doesn’t the factory director Yang Fengshan know?

Li Huaide wanted to cause trouble, but Yang Fengshan didn't want to cause trouble?

Yes, everyone is working hard to compete.

It’s nothing more than who can overwhelm the east wind or the west wind.

At this time, capable people have already begun to bet, whether they bet on life if they are right, or on death if they are wrong.

Wucheng, guest house.

This joint enterprise was still an idea on paper, and Li Huaide was already discussing with him the management authority structure of the enterprise.

Li Xuewu didn't think it was wrong for Li Huaide to think about this so early. Maybe the capital had already started taking action.

He never speculates on people's hearts with malice, but sometimes people's hearts are like this.

The two discussed and tentatively decided on the Wucheng office of the steel rolling mill, with Jin Yaohui staying here to preside over the work.

Jin Yaohui is Li Huaide's secretary.

Subsequent staff can be deployed or recruited locally.

The sign of the office is hung in the logistics office. During the preparatory stage, Li Huaide will temporarily lead the work.

In the later stage, it may directly become the direct agency of the joint enterprise.

The business scope includes liaison and communication with relevant units, promoting joint enterprise trade development, providing reciprocal mutual assistance and trade exchanges, and carrying out joint enterprise-related business.

The relevant organizational structure will be configured according to actual needs, but Li Huaide still asked Li Xuewu to configure the security structure first.

The security environment here still worried Li Huaide, so according to his suggestion, part of the escort team was left here.

Li Xuewu thought about it and agreed to this arrangement.

The office's level is temporarily set at the department level, and the person in charge of security is a unit-level cadre.

The current level of the escort team is still stock level, so this is considered progress.

After Li Xuewu returned to the room, he didn't ask who wanted to stay. Instead, he called the freight station directly and asked He Yuan to come over and talk.

Organizational work is not a game of housework. Whoever wants to work can do it, and whoever doesn't want to can't do it.

Li Xuewu never negotiated conditions with his superiors when doing work, nor did he allow subordinates to negotiate with him about difficulties.

This kid, He Yuan, is smart and has ideas. He is more able to adapt to changes in this environment.

After listening to Li Xuewu's arrangement, He Yuan also knew that this was an opportunity.

In the Beijing factory, there is a lot of competition among the guards. If you want to get ahead, you have to go outside. Xu Ning is an example.

From a clerk to a full-time clerk, Xu Ning was luckier than many people.

Seeing He Yuan nodding in agreement, Li Xuewu waved his hand and told him to go back to find someone to discuss.

Li Xuewu was not prepared to leave more escorts at the border. This time he brought fifteen people, but could only leave five for He Yuan.

These five people are temporary, and five guards will be arranged to replace them when they return to the steel rolling mill.

The escort members alone cannot solve many problems. Forming small teams and large teams is the embodiment of power.

Li Xuewu was always shrewd. After arranging the work, he made a phone call back to the capital.

——

Zhou Yamei was quite comfortable in the guest house.

The environment and facilities here are the best she has ever seen in a guest house.

The most important thing is the service. The service here is much higher than other places.

At least she has never seen any hostel director take the initiative to help with meals.

In fact, no one else had seen it, so Qin Huairu helped her.

Qin Huairu also deliberately looked at that room several times today. Except for normal life, the woman basically didn't come out.

I just took the kids out for a walk in the afternoon.

Master Dou transferred all the people away, and the infrastructure work in Tuanjie Lake Park was temporarily suspended. It seemed very quiet here.

Qin Huairu thought that this woman was really as she said, and she didn't know how long she would stay here.

But I didn’t expect that a car would come to pick me up when I got off work in the afternoon.

Qin Huairu was also surprised by the car and people who came to pick him up.

"Aunt Gu!"

Fu Zhidong was throwing stones and catching fish by the lake when he was reminded by his mother. When he saw Gu Ning standing by the car, he suddenly shouted happily.

Gu Ning smiled and waved to Fu Zhidong.

Fu Zhidong was a little unhappy when he came out of home. When he saw his mother packing her luggage, she knew she was leaving home.

After taking the train all the way and arriving in a strange environment, no matter how sensible I am, I feel a little depressed.

Now he suddenly saw an acquaintance, an acquaintance who had lived in his house, and he felt even more happy.

After trotting to the car, Fu Zhidong raised his head and looked at the car, then asked Gu Ning: "Aunt Gu, isn't Uncle Li here?"

Gu Ning touched Fu Zhidong's face, glanced at Zhou Yamei, and then said with a smile: "Your Uncle Li hasn't come back yet, ask Auntie to take you home."

"Oh~"

Fu Zhidong tilted his head, looked at Gu Ning and asked, "Are you going to your house?"

"The Building"

Zhou Yamei reminded her son to be polite.

Gu Ning smiled and said to Zhou Yamei: "He called back specifically to tell you about your arrival and asked me to take you home to live."

"Too much trouble"

Zhou Yamei trimmed the hair around her ears and said, "It's nice to live here, but the child is too young and noisy."

Gu Ning didn't pay much attention to Zhou Yamei's words and looked down at Fu Zhidong.

"It's our new house, it's just been tidied up."

Gu Ning raised his head and looked at Zhou Yamei and said, "I'm busy with work and have a lot of finishing work to do. I was just thinking about picking you up to help."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Fu Zhidong's face again with the back of his hand, and said, "My mother also said that if there are children in the new house, it's best to make some noise."

Seeing that Gu Ning had reached this point, Zhou Yamei had no choice but to agree. She wanted to thank Gu Ning but was stopped by Gu Ning.

Just like when they were in Steel City, Gu Ning held Fu Zhidong's little hand and walked together.

This scene almost shocked Qin Huairu. She thought it was...

Gu Ning was not surprised when he saw Qin Huairu. Li Xuewu had already made arrangements for Zhou Yamei's arrival on the phone.

He also told Gu Ning to take more care of the mother and son, and take the family to have a meal in the evening. Then he would call his mother-in-law.

Knowing that Li Xuewu was afraid of misunderstanding between her and her family, he took the initiative to let her receive and make arrangements.

In fact, the more Li Xuewu behaved like this, the more Gu Ning believed in Li Xuewu, and he didn't feel sore or annoyed at all.

I went home from get off work early and told my mother, and Ding Fengxia also agreed.

Otherwise, Gu Ning would not be able to bring the car.

Ding Fengxia even told Gu Ning not to talk to Li Xuewu and ask more questions. She still asked Gu Ning to tell Li Xuewu that there was no need to call. Just know that he was safe, work hard, and come back early.

Qin Huairu greeted Gu Ning with a smile, went upstairs with her to help pack the luggage, and asked the waiter to help put the luggage in the car.

Before getting into the car, Zhou Yamei politely thanked Qin Huairu and said goodbye.

Watching the big red flag drive away, Zhang Songying stuck out her tongue, looked in the direction of the door and asked Qin Huairu: "I thought it was... so what? Which leader is this?"

Qin Huairu turned around and pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's from your family."

"Fuck you, you're not serious!"

Zhang Songying hit Qin Huairu and said, "I don't have a leader of this level in my family. Look at that car, it's so scary."

"You still don't believe me when I say it's from your family."

Qin Huairu whispered something in Zhang Songying's ear, and then went upstairs.

Zhang Songying, who was standing at the door, was stunned for a long time, and then chased Qin Huairu into the office.

"Is that really his partner?"

"It doesn't look like it?"

Qin Huairu gave Zhang Songying a funny look, and then continued busy with her work.

Zhang Songying was a little stunned at the moment. She still couldn't imagine how Li Xuewu had a father-in-law with such a profound background.

No wonder he dared to say tough words and do tough things in the steel rolling mill.

With Xu Ning's push and his inner desire for progress, he followed Qin Huairu's path and approached Li Xuewu.

It's not like she hasn't thought about getting closer, but Li Xuewu always has some barriers to her.

Another thing is that Qin Huairu is the same, he is not much closer to her than him.

Seeing his partner today, Zhang Songying finally understood why Qin Huairu was able to maintain such a distance and not be active.

Being active is in vain, and even if you try your best, you won't be able to achieve it.

——

It was actually Ding Fengxia's intention to use this car to pick people up. Gu Ning didn't pay much attention to external things like the car.

The car is newly equipped, and my father's Volga was transferred away.

This time, there will be unified deployment, including deputy ministers and above.

She also rides when Li Xuewu rides a bicycle, rides on the Willys her father gave her in the winter, and rides on a broken-down war-damaged car.

Her character is more interested in the interaction and exchange of ideas and emotions, especially when Li Xuewu called her to arrange the matter, she could feel Li Xuewu's concern even more.

Arriving at Haiyuncang Villa, Zhou Yamei looked at the small villa and couldn't help but think of her own home.

The driver helped move the luggage into the living room, and then drove away at Gu Ning's instructions.

“The guest room is upstairs”

Gu Ning helped Zhou Yamei carry the suitcases and took them upstairs.

The villa has two floors. There is a master bedroom, study room, and living room on the upper floor, as well as a guest bedroom. Zhou Yamei's mother and son were arranged in the guest bedroom.

"He originally said he wanted to set up a kang upstairs."

“That’s a good idea”

The two looked at each other and smiled, teasing Li Xuewu for his lack of humor.

Looking at the tidy bedroom, the large solid wood double bed, and the matching solid wood cabinets, Zhou Yamei knew that Gu Ning's invitation to help her was just a pretense.

After helping Zhou Yamei put the clothes in the cabinet, Gu Ning took her to the study after seeing the books and materials in the box.

"I don't need the desk. If you want to work, come to the study."

Gu Ning introduced the rooms at home to Zhou Yamei, then took them downstairs, pointing to the living room and two bedrooms.

"He brought all the electrical appliances in the house and used them as he pleased."

After talking, he walked to the restaurant, pointed to the kitchen and said sheepishly: "I'm not good at cooking, so I just turned on the heater before you came."

“I’ll just come”

Zhou Yamei smiled and looked at the spacious restaurant and neat kitchen, which was very Li Xuewu's style.

He knew Li Xuewu's character and wanted to be clean.

"He said he didn't know whether the gas pipeline was broken or not, and he didn't dare to use it, so he built a stove. After I came here, I added a gas stove."

Gu Ning opened the cabinet below and showed Zhou Yamei the gas tank inside.

"You know how to use it. We also use gas at home."

Zhou Yamei and Gu Ning have a tacit understanding of each other in terms of personality. They both like to be quiet and not active, like reading, and like this quietness and indifference.

It's just that Zhou Yamei is a few years older than Gu Ning, and has experience in living independently, so she is strong as a mother.

Gu Ning is a military doctor. His special family and growing environment have created an even more special character for Gu Ning.

In order to take care of Zhou Yamei's mood, and to repay Zhou Yamei's hospitality in Steel City, Gu Ning came to stay here in advance.

Maybe it was because Li Xuewu was not at home, or maybe it was because Li Xuewu had never lived here, but Gu Ning didn't feel very embarrassed.

I walked around the house with Zhou Yamei, getting familiar with the environment while talking about the differences between Beijing and Steel City.

After all, Fu Zhidong has a childish personality. He is alone at home and has seen the joy of kindergarten, so he still yearns for the excitement.

Now I am running in the courtyard that was originally a garden, looking here and there, as if I have discovered a new world.

Zhou Yamei looked at the small courtyards on both sides of the entrance corridor and asked, "Seeing that the weather is getting warmer, when will you do something?"

"do not know yet"

Gu Ning lowered his head slightly and combed the hair around his ears.

She was not prepared for this, and suddenly living with that person seemed... unreal.

Zhou Yamei glanced at Gu Ning, then smiled, and did not continue the topic, but talked about the garden.

"Are you going to plant flowers?"

"have not decided yet"

Gu Ning smiled, trying to explain that he didn't mean to answer uncertain questions like this every time, as if he was perfunctory.

"He gave me the key some time before he left. I also tidied it up bit by bit. I have almost finished tidying up the house, but I haven't even bothered to take care of the yard yet."

Gu Ning is not a person who talks a lot, but when someone asks about this small courtyard and the home she carefully prepared, there are always some unfinished things to say.

I was embarrassed to tell Li Xuewu, but it was a surprise for Zhou Yamei to meet him today.

"Let me help you with the garden."

Zhou Yamei smiled, walked to the garden, and squatted on the corridor.

Seeing his son standing in the garden looking for ants, he asked, "Zhidong, how about we help Aunt Gu Ning plant a garden?"

"Like home?"

"Yes, it's just like at home, planting so many beautiful flowers."

"good"

Fu Zhidong stood up and agreed readily, but then hesitantly said: "But...but I didn't bring my shovel."

"it does not matter"

Gu Ning smiled and said, "Auntie has it at home. I will take you to find it later."

I am really used to it. If there is something missing in this family, the first thing Gu Ning thinks of is not to ask Li Xuewu for it, nor to go out to buy it, but to go home and get it.

What if you don’t have one at home?

With Gu Ning's character, how could Ding Fengxia deprive the family of what Gu Ning needs?

No, wait, we will have it in a while.

Ding Fengxia wished she could pay for someone to help clean up the house, but Gu Ning wouldn't let her.

Even if he came to help, he had to discuss it with Mu Hongyan, and only came after Gu Ning was in a good mood.

Thanks to Mu Hongyan who has been with his sister-in-law for many years, he knows Gu Ning's simple character, otherwise he would have to worry about fighting.

I walked around the yard and discussed planting camellias here, primulas there, and some plum blossoms in the corners.

We also discussed how to plant the lawn, how to water it, and how to take care of it.

No one in Gu Ning's family has taken care of the garden so carefully. They are all handled by professional masters. This is the standard treatment for his father.

Zhou Yamei looked at Gu Ning's surprised eyes, smiled and said, "I'm bored here, just find something to make a living."

Gu Ning nodded with understanding. Although she didn't know Zhou Yamei's husband in detail, she had heard about it from a few words.

You can tell what kind of person Zhou Yamei is from the cleanliness of the villa in Steel City.

"Let's sit in the house for a while. The car will pick us up soon."

Gu Ning saw that Fu Zhidong was going to sit at the stone table and bench in the garden, so he waved to enter the house.

Compared with Li Xuewu's last visit, this villa has taken on a new lease of life.

The glass and window frames were all cleaned up by Master Dou. Gu Ning became more popular after cleaning up.

The steps at the entrance were resurfaced by Master Dou and they look natural.

After entering the living room, Fu Zhidong was led by his mother to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came out, Gu Ning had already made tea in the living room.

"I'll turn off the fireplace downstairs now. I just checked the heater and it's still burning. I'll turn it on again after we come back from dinner."

Gu Ning poured tea for Zhou Yamei and boiled water for Fu Zhidong in the tea cup.

Fu Zhidong looked at the piano between the living room and the corridor with some curiosity. This was an object he did not have at home.

“It’s not cold, just burn it later”

Zhou Yamei sat on the sofa and looked at the photos on the coffee table, and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

Gu Ning turned around and took a look, then said with some embarrassment: "I brought it from home and forgot to put it away."

She had forgotten somewhere. She clearly felt that this house was only for the two of them, so she put it there deliberately.

Zhou Yamei also saw what Gu Ning meant and knew it was a misunderstanding, so she smiled and said: "He is quite scary when he is serious."

“It’s a bit”

Gu Ning smiled and looked at the photo of Li Xuewu who was "pointing" at her fiercely.

Don't talk about her, even my mother, this photo is too scary.

She did not explain the experience behind the photo to Zhou Yamei. There were some stories she wanted to have alone with that person.

"Do you like piano?"

After looking at Fu Zhidong, Gu Ning smiled and took Fu Zhidong's little hand, walked to the piano, hugged him and sat on the piano bench.

Opening the upper cover reveals the black and white keys.

"Want to try?"

"May I?"

"certainly"

Gu Ning took Fu Zhidong's little hand, pinched his little fingers and pressed them on the keys.

"Dong~"

"It's Qin!"

Fu Zhidong said in surprise: "Teacher's accordion also has such buttons, and it can also sound~"

Gu Ning smiled, put his fingers on the keys, and played the rhythm of "One Penny".

"It's a trumpet!"

Fu Zhidong smiled and said: "It's the small speaker in the radio."

Gu Ning played children's songs one by one, while Fu Zhidong sat guessing and singing along.

Zhou Yamei sat on the sofa with a tea cup and watched with a smile.

Time always slips away inadvertently, sometimes flowing in the quiet afternoon, sometimes hiding in naughty notes, sometimes floating in the red sunset of the fireplace.

——

"You're finally here, hahaha!"

Li Xuewu didn't feel that time was rushing these days, he just felt that time was a bit insufficient.

After solving the problem of purchasing meat on the 1st, we started to receive customers one after another.

They are the merchants from Erken Market and the black traders who came after hearing the news.

Some of them were people Li Xuewu had seen before, and some were the masters behind the tent.

These people are really powerful. They may have found them along the railway, or they may have their roots in Wucheng.

Because they were in a guest house, these businessmen acted very casually and did not hide, as if they were visiting a friend who had come from afar.

The big beard selling meat is here, the big beard selling wool is here, and the big beard selling raisins and jujubes is here.

Don't ask why they all have big beards, because Li Xuewu thinks they all look the same, especially with hairy beards.

To make the specific distinction, Li Xuewu still based on their age and the colorful hats he saw them wearing when he first met them.

Except for being called over by Li Huaide to discuss work, Li Xuewu was communicating with these people.

Ji Weidong and his two officers were also manipulated by Li Xuewu.

Ji Weidong is the secretary and receptionist, and the two clerks are the clerks who run errands.

The driver called that day never left and kept running with Li Xuewu.

When talking to Li Huaide or going out to do things, Ji Weidong would receive these people on behalf of Li Xuewu.

He didn't know how to say it, but he still knew how to talk about the local customs.

Through the help these days, Ji Weidong roughly guessed what Li Xuewu was going to do.

He didn't think about it elsewhere. Li Xuewu was endorsed by the steel rolling mill and recycling station, so no one could find fault with him.

When these people came, they came under the guise of meeting good friends and did not talk about business at all.

They are all people who are afraid of rabbits and are waiting for that special train.

However, they also heard that a big customer from the capital in the past two days wanted to take away a cart of meat, and the materials in exchange were grain and medicinal materials.

Otherwise, there would not have been so many people visiting in the past two days.

Today it was the bearded man selling medicinal materials.

"It is really a rare good thing that Kuozibayi can meet his friends in Wucheng."

The bearded man shook hands with Li Xuewu, and then he was invited by Li Xuewu to sit down.

"How's the journey going?"

Li Xuewu winked at Ji Weidong and motioned for him to pour tea.

Then he said to Kuozibayi with concern: "I didn't know how big the snow disaster was until I came here."

“fairly smooth”

Kuozibayi was polite to Ji Weidong, who was serving him tea.

"The snow in Hami has completely stopped and the roads in the city have been cleared."

These words were not said casually. They were telling Li Xuewu that their goods were ready and were in Hami.

As long as Li Xuewu's food and medicinal materials can arrive, the transaction can be carried out at any time.

“What I heard and saw really shocked me.”

Li Xuewu nodded to show that he understood. He talked about what he had learned about Wucheng and the surrounding areas in the past few days and expressed his sympathy.

Kuozibayi sighed and said: "Don't say it happens every year, it happens once every few years. Life is hard."

Ji Weidong placed the tea and sat aside. He curled his lips when he heard the conversation between the two.

If you didn't know this, you would have thought that cadres from the capital were holding a sympathy meeting with cadres from Wucheng.

But in fact, the meaning of the two people's words had nothing to do with the snow disaster. They were completely different things.

Ji Weidong has become accustomed to it in the past few days. Everyone who comes to visit has something to say, but none of them is to the point.

Today's man gave him a surprise. After the two of them were polite to each other, the bearded man revealed the purpose of his visit today.

"I thought about it for a long time after we said goodbye last time."

Kuozibayi looked at Li Xuewu and said: "The Erken Market is too closed and backward. If you don't come out, you may be like a camel in a snowstorm, and you won't know where it is buried."

Li Xuewu nodded and said nothing.

Erken Market is a product of the times and cannot withstand any storm.

Even if there is no power to destroy it, it will slowly die in the torrent of time.

"Your appearance has given us a new idea."

Kuozibayi looked at Li Xuewu and said sincerely: "My friends and I sincerely hope that you can come often, often come to the beautiful border, and communicate with us."

"I'll take the liberty to ask."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at Kuozibayi and asked, "Did you do this before?"

"Ashamed!"

Kuozibayi said with some regret: "Before liberation, I was the agriculture and forestry supervisor of Shengshicai in the border area."

"oh!"

Li Xuewu was really surprised and said to Kuozibayi: "Then you are a great talent."

"Haha, it's old time"

Kuozibayi waved his hands with a wry smile, knowing what Li Xuewu meant, and explained with a smile: "Sheng Shicai once sent us rich kids to study in SL. I was eighteen years old that year."

"I am the one who has studied the longest, studying there for six years."

"Then you are considered a professional and technical talent."

Li Xuewu was still very surprised that a bearded man had such a high degree of education. The key was that this bearded man was still doing black market business.

"What a talent, haha"

The bearded man looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "I went there in the 32nd year of the Republic of China."

Hearing what Kuozibayi said, Ji Weidong couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing Li Xuewu glare at him, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and turned his head away.

"Hehehe"

Kuozibayi also saw Ji Weidong's little movements and Li Xuewu's expression, and waved his hands with a smile to show that he didn't care.

"It's been almost twenty years, it doesn't matter."

Kuozibayi said mockingly: "The appointment letter was sent to the school via telegram, but before I graduated, he graduated first, haha."

"I'm sorry"

Li Xuewu smiled a little apologetically and said: "The people under my command are of low quality, so don't mind."

This time it was Ji Weidong's turn to glare at Li Xuewu. If Kuozi Bayi hadn't been there, Ji Weidong would have pounced on him.

"no problem, no problem"

Kuozibayi waved his hand to Ji Weidong and said with a smile: "At first glance, he looks like a good guy, maybe he is also very capable."

Ji Weidong didn't care much about Kuozibayi's flattery, he was just a veteran who was buried in the garbage heap of history.

If Li Xuewu hadn't been here, he would have been hunting rabbits.

Li Xuewu didn't even look at Ji Weidong, because he thought he was in the way.

"I am willing to work with you and your friends to jointly promote friendly mutual assistance and cooperation between the two places through communication and exchanges, and build a safer, more stable and diversified market environment."

"My friends and I are also willing to deepen our cooperation with you, and it is not limited to this cooperation content."

Kuozibayi looked at Li Xuewu and said: "We are sincere and determined to break the inherent trade model and seek a new way of survival."

Ji Weidong's teeth ached after hearing these words from the two of them. He was a little suspicious that he was not sitting in front of a black market businessman, but at a meeting between the two countries' bosses.

Fortunately, the conversation here was only a superficial glimpse, and did not go into depth. All subsequent cooperation must be based on the results of this cooperation before we can talk about it.

Li Xuewu also understood this truth, so he and Kuozibayi did not talk to each other to death.

The steel rolling mill's office in the border area has basically become a foregone conclusion, so it will not be difficult for him to come to the border area.

The wide regional differences have created great differences in products, and the frontier can indeed become an important part of Li Xuewu's future development.

After Kuozibayi was sent away, Ji Weidong sat on the armrest of the sofa, stared at Li Xuewu and asked, "How big do you want to be?"

"Haha, it's just a small fight."

"What about teasing a fool?"

Ji Weidong faced Li Xuewu and said, "You are so busy with border trade negotiations, why don't you consider my dad's company?"

"What are you doing? Working as a security guard for your father?"

Li Xuewu pushed Ji Weidong away with his hand and stood up. He walked to the desk and said, "It's not as complicated as you think. It's really just a small fuss."

How could Ji Weidong believe Li Xuewu? He chased him to the desk and said, "Does your family's petty quarrels follow the special rules?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Xuewu pointed at Ji Weidong and said, "That special train is not from our family and has nothing to do with me."

As he spoke, he sat on the chair, shook his hands and said, "That's from a related unit. I am a good young man who serves the people."

"I bother!"

Ji Weidong curled his lips and walked away and said: "I have never seen a shameless person like you. I am ashamed to be with a shameless person like you!"

"That's just right"

Li Xuewu picked up the tea cup and blew a sip of tea leaves and said: "Even if you have done voluntary labor these days, you, the upright Ji Weidong, will not appreciate the benefits of shameless people."

"you dare!"

Ji Weidong opened the door, held the door handle, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I don't think the reward for labor is shameless."

"Get out of here!"

Li Xuewu picked up the cigarette case on the table and threw it at the door. Ji Weidong was frightened and quickly closed the door.

"Cowardly~coward!"

Smiling and curling his lips, Li Xuewu held a cigarette in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, then picked up the phone and asked to go out.

"Hello, I'm Li Xuewu"

"Second brother"

Zhao Yajun took the phone and glanced outside the duty room, and then said: "We are eating during the shift."

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu responded and asked with a smile: "Who cooked the food?"

"It's Delia"

Zhao Yajun heard Li Xuewu's tone and smiled back.

He felt relieved when he heard Li Xuewu's voice on the phone.

The warehouse here is very big and remote. It's really a bit timid for the four of them to be there.

Li Xuewu could also hear Zhao Yajun's emotions, smiled and said: "Be smart tonight, pay more attention to safety when they are busy, and use strong measures if necessary."

"yes!"

Zhao Yajun glanced at the few people who came in, and then said: "Pazile and the others are back."

"Well, let Siren answer the phone."

"yes"

This is the second call from Li Xuewu. Several people here already know Li Xuewu's plan and are actively preparing.

"It's me, Siren"

"Well, the guests should arrive tonight."

Li Xuewu took the phone and said casually: "Keep in touch on the phone at any time. When you're done, you can follow Pazile and the others to the hotel in front of the station to wait for me."

"good"

Xilin knew what she had to do, so she agreed happily, and then hung up the phone.

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette, hung up the phone and called Jingcheng again.

"I just said he needs to call in the next few days."

Mu Hongyan smiled and stood in the living room, holding the phone and talking to the restaurant, and then joked to Li Xuewu on the phone: "We are having dinner, it's not the right time for you to call."
