Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Hey, Director Zhang is here."

Li Xuewu knocked on Li Huaide's office door and saw Zhang Guoqi sitting opposite Li Huaide, so he smiled and said hello.

Zhang Guoqi knew that Li Xuewu was coming, and the secretary had made arrangements. He stood up with a smile and said, "I'm done talking, you sit down."

"Haha, I have something to worry about. Let's sit down and chat together for a while."

What Li Xuewu said was really damaging. He clearly knew that Zhang Guoqi was detained just to meet him in front of Li Huaide, but now he directly took off Zhang Guoqi's pants. It was really disrespectful of martial ethics.

Zhang Guoqi's old face was tempered, and he was not afraid of Li Xuewu slandering him. He shook Li Xuewu's hand with a smile and said: "I don't dare to delay your discussion with the leader. Come to my place later."

"Well"

Li Xuewu walked away from Zhang Guoqi for a few steps and said with a smile: "I was just about to ask Director Zhang where to find the best goldfish. My daughter has almost destroyed our goldfish."

No matter how thick-skinned Zhang Guoqi was, he could not withstand Li Xuewu's ridicule.

Li Xuewu could clearly see that Zhang Guoqi's face was red when he went out.

What the hell, this old gangster also wants to plot against me?

Li Xuewu closed the office door, turned around with a smile, and walked to Li Huaide's desk.

"What? You don't want to deal with Lao Zhang anymore?"

Li Huaide was good at smoothing things over, and he hit the mark on Li Xuewu's words with just one sentence.

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "This Lao Zhang is really unkind. I really had something to do when I asked for leave that day, but he did this to me."

After saying that, he didn't show up, took the cigarettes and lighter from Li Huaide's desk, and lit them himself.

Not only did he light a cigarette, he also put Li Huaide's ZIPPO lighter in his pocket.

"You said if he wanted to talk to me, just say so. He had to come to your place to make a detour."

Li Xuewu completely ignored Li Huaide's narrowed eyes. He knew clearly that what Li Huaide was signaling was a lighter, but he just pretended not to see it.

The last lighter I got was from here, but it was robbed by Huang Qian.

This time, he didn't have the nerve to challenge Li Huaide openly, so he changed to grabbing it openly.

"We young cadres still lack training. Compared with the old comrades, we are a little less sophisticated."

Li Huaide saw that this piece of mushroom was determined not to return his lighter, and he was too lazy to be serious with him.

"I'm so worried. Why does he have so many twists and turns? Lao Zhang is still a good person."

"Anyway, I don't think he's very good."

Li Xuewu curled his lips, he would not follow Li Huaide's intention.

Li Huaide also knew that the man in front of him was in trouble and could not move easily, so he didn't care about Li Xuewu's words.

Li Xuewu was smoking. He didn't want to smoke. He took out a piece of candy from the drawer, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hey~ What are you...?"

Li Xuewu was accustomed to complimenting Li Huaide. Seeing Li Huaide showing off, how could the leader's pretense fall to the ground? He pretended to be surprised and asked.

Li Huaide waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "The doctor said to quit smoking, but that's what I wanted to do."

"Is it easy?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "If this trick is good, I will quit smoking."

"Haha~"

Li Huaide was also amused by Li Xuewu's words. He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "You are only twenty years old. You have a fucking addiction to smoking. You need to quit smoking."

Leaders always speak for a purpose, so they are naturally not allowed to use swear words in public places, and they rarely use swear words when discussing work with subordinates.

But sometimes using foul language can express your closeness to your subordinates.

Li Xuewu is a subordinate who must be close to Li Huaide. Although the two have high and low positions, their identities and backgrounds are similar. Li Xuewu has the advantage in age.

Therefore, Li Huaide didn't need to put on airs with Li Xuewu. Li Xuewu's series of actions when he entered the room were not exposed to him, so there was no point in talking about anything else.

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette and said: "I'm not addicted to cigarettes. I just want to take a few puffs when talking about things. This is not a good habit."

After speaking, he looked at Li Huaide's exquisite little sugar bowl and said, "You have to take it easy. Don't quit smoking, and it will be troublesome to develop diabetes again."

"Hehehe, it's not that serious."

Li Huaide twisted a candy from the sugar bowl and threw it to Li Xuewu, gesturing for him to try it.

When Li Xuewu put it in his mouth, he realized that the candy was not very sweet, but rather bitter.

"What the hell is this?"

"Smoking cessation candy, your sister-in-law bought it from Tong Ren Tang"

Li Huaide shook his head helplessly, glanced at the sugar bowl in the drawer, and explained: "There is Houttuynia cordata in it, so it doesn't taste very good, so I forcefully eat it."

After Li Xuewu passed the test, he looked at Li Huaide and asked, "Is there something wrong with your body?"

"Hey~ People are middle-aged, and they always have problems like this."

Li Huaide looked open-minded. He took a sip from the tea cup and smiled at Li Xuewu: "But if you need to take care of yourself at your age, you can still do it. Smoking damages the lungs and kidneys."

Li Xuewu knew for sure that smoke hurt the lungs, but this was the first time he had heard of it hurting the kidneys.

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide and felt that this was half and half, and the blame for the kidney should not be shouldered.

Only with kidney deficiency will the lung function be weakened, so the lungs are injured, and smoking will bear at least half of the blame.

But now in the leadership room, he said that if it hurts the kidneys, just hurt the kidneys.

"It doesn't matter if you really quit, this is not a good thing."

Li Xuewu picked up Huazi from the table and put it directly into his pocket, looking like he was thinking about his leader.

Li Huaide gave Li Xuewu a funny look, took another one out of the drawer and threw it to Li Xuewu.

"Take it away, take it all away, so you won't have to worry about it anymore."

As he spoke, he smiled and waved his hands, as if he was determined to quit smoking.

Li Xuewu caught the Huazi thrown at him without any courtesy, and said with a smile: "Thank you so much for the leader. My big front door is about to be out of service. I didn't expect to upgrade Huazi directly."

After speaking, Li Huaide didn't even ask him to vomit blood. He reached into his pocket and took out a small wine bottle. It was a portable white steel wine bottle with a spiral-sealed spout.

"Don't just quit smoking"

Li Xuewu put the jug on the table, pushed it in front of Li Huaide, and said: "Quitting smoking can stop losses in time, but you also have to make up for it."

"oh!"

Li Huaide stared at the wine bottle on the table and asked, "Is this the one you brought last time...that one?"

Li Xuewu pursed his lips, leaned forward, and explained in a low voice: "It's fiercer than the last one. Remember, one dollar is enough at a time, and more is not good."

"clear"

Li Huaide put away the wine bottle with a smile, pointed his finger at Li Xuewu and said: "This business is worth it."

"Hey~~~~"

Li Xuewu leaned back slightly, leaned back on the chair, and said to Li Huaide with a smile: "You are right, what is important about your body?"

Li Huaide smiled and said: "The body is the capital of the revolution, and it is also a man's face. It is necessary to live without it!"

"Hey, you are someone who has been here and knows a lot."

Li Xuewu asked with a wicked smile: "I heard that you want to install air conditioning in our office?"

What kind of person is Li Huaide? He is an old fox. Li Xuewu asked about the office, so he knows about the guest house.

"Oh, everyone says it's difficult to do things down below. Isn't it difficult for me, the deputy director, to do things?"

Li Huaide sighed, nodded on his desk, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "The business of the guest house is getting busier day by day, and more and more brother units are coming to the factory for study and inspection. It's hard not to have a suitable environment."

"really"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Our factory can still undertake some of the conference and reception work. It would really be inappropriate if there is no suitable environment."

"That's what I said."

Li Huaide waved his hand and said, "No more talking. Take your time. You can't get things done in a hurry."

"Tell me about you"

After ending the topic, Li Huaide turned the spotlight to Li Xuewu and asked, "How was yesterday's matter handled?"

"I was just going to tell you."

Li Xuewu took the cigarette butt from his mouth, placed it directly on the ashtray, and reported with a notebook: "The preliminary investigation results are that these people were influenced by the large-character advertisement on the bulletin board and chose the most extreme response. method, the perpetrator is also impulsive."

As he spoke, he observed Li Huaide's reaction with the corner of his eyes.

When he said it was all an accident, Li Xuewu could clearly see that the corners of Li Huaide's mouth moved.

Obviously, Li Huaide still cares about this result. If Li Xuewu really finds out something or uses this to cause trouble, he will be very passive.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Li Xuewu, but that he was made less confident by Li Xuewu's attitude.

After Li Xuewu briefly introduced the confessions and related circumstances of these people, he also talked about the injuries and impacts that occurred during yesterday's emergency response.

"Seventy-four people were injured, 17 have returned to work after preliminary treatment, 22 have taken leave to rest, and the rest need to be hospitalized for observation."

Li Xuewu squinted at Li Huaide and said, "The most serious one was that seven ribs were trampled and almost punctured in the heart. It will probably take several months before he can be discharged from the hospital."

"Alas~~~"

Li Huaide sighed deeply and said, "It's been a troubled time~"

Li Xuewu glanced at Li Huaide without comment and continued to report: "I don't have statistics on the direct property losses. The Finance Department should have data. I only said that the Security Department's losses were as high as thousands of yuan."

"Yeah, I can imagine that."

Li Huaide nodded and said: "This matter cannot be hidden. The leaders above already know about it and are probably studying the results. Can you make a disciplinary decision as soon as possible?"

"able"

Li Xuewu said simply: "All criminal activities are governed by public security management methods. Above these methods are also governed by laws. You can deal with them how you want."

Speaking of this, Li Xuewu glanced at Li Huaide and added: "Because it involves situations such as bad impact, my opinion is to be serious, fast and strict, and strictly prevent such incidents from happening."

"I agree"

Li Huaide chewed candy in his mouth and said with a serious face: "Behaviors that disrupt production order and cause personal injury and property damage must not be tolerated."

"Yesterday's plan has been implemented"

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide and said: "Whether the act of posting large-character notices should be included in the acts of spreading rumors, causing trouble, and disturbing public order, I have to ask you to decide."

Li Huaide moved his chin and did not immediately give an answer. Instead, he frowned and thought for a while before saying, "The workers are the owners of the steel rolling mill. We have no right to block the channels for workers to express their opinions."

"That's what I thought too"

Li Xuewu said seriously: "So I did not rush to investigate the big-character poster. My opinion is that the factory still needs to strengthen communication with the workers. This type of incident really cannot happen again."

"I understand how you feel"

Li Huaide nodded and said: "I am also very sad that this happened. I also mentioned the strengthening of communication you mentioned at the meeting. Speaking of which, everyone in our team is responsible."

“It’s better to focus on the present.”

Li Xuewu advised: "You can hold people accountable at any time, but the people's mouth is more important than the river. We still need to do publicity and work, otherwise it will be a big problem."

Li Huaide rubbed his face with his hands, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "You know the situation in our factory. Those two projects are not managed by you, but you drafted and organized the joint enterprise. You don't know how much water there is in it." deep?"

Li Xuewu frowned and replied: "We don't manage it, but we always have the right to supervise. We can't have the Security Department act as the bad guy every time something happens."

"You have to stand up about this"

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide and said: "The bricks that the factory director suffered are not unjust. If you continue like this, you will also suffer for a while someday, and then there will be no place to cry out for injustice."

"I thought about it, how pure it is."

Li Huaide flicked his hand and said helplessly to Li Xuewu: "This stall is not small. If Director Yang doesn't come back, no one can open it or manage it smoothly, and no one dares to take on this burden."

"It's no use just talking"

Li Huaide nodded at Li Xuewu and said: "To say who is in charge and who is responsible is to shirk the responsibility, but the main responsibility for this matter does not lie with us. I want to supervise, because others think we are harboring evil intentions."

"If you say that, it will be troublesome for the Security Department to do its job."

Li Xuewu nodded on the table and said: "At least there is no way to control the scale issue. If I hold a bowl of water flat, I'm afraid there will be no one complaining."

"Even if you cry out for grievances, you have to be redressed by me."

Li Huaide's face was very serious. He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Remember, the security department must not mess up at any time, let alone participate in it. The most workers talk about is holding two wrenches. You are different."

Li Xuewu deliberately provoked Li Huaide, and Li Huaide's attitude was also very clear. No matter how much trouble he could make, he would not dare to make trouble with the security department.

Although the scene yesterday was intense, it only resulted in a few broken ribs. This kind of impact was exactly what he wanted.

When the incident broke out, pressure fell on Yang Fengshan's head like a mountain and a tsunami. There was a limit to the patience above. Yang Fengshan would be whipped if he didn't do something.

Although Li Huaide was also on the team, there was nothing left when the whip came his turn, so he didn't care about it.

But no matter which department has trouble, nothing can happen to the security department, because what Li Huaide wants is the leadership of the steel rolling mill, not a mess.

The Security Department is the last line of defense that determines whether the steel rolling mill is in chaos. His confidence in the Security Department comes entirely from Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu's ruthlessness is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people. Li Huaide firmly believes that as long as Li Xuewu can hold his own, the steel rolling mill will be fine.

So if he stabilizes Li Xuewu now, he can continue to be a monster later.

Li Xuewu was also helpless. Sometimes Zhengzhi can be so absurd. What you want to do is obviously positive, but the impact it has is negative.

When you have no choice but to do something, it may turn out to be why not do it.

What he was doing now was obviously to protect the security environment of the steel rolling mill, but it supplemented Li Huaide's actions and became his unbridled confidence.

Sometimes Li Xuewu really wants to change his boss, but no one has any lower limits, is more diligent, and is better at digging than Li Huaide.

Such people can adapt well to any torrent and survive, sometimes very well.

Existence is reasonable, and Li Xuewu is not stubborn enough to change his destiny. He prefers the old man to push... push... push the boat along the water.

When Li Xuewu came out of Li Huaide's office, he had a cigarette in his hand, and all the staff who came and went showed surprised expressions.

Everyone says that Deputy Director Li is awesome, but no one has seen how awesome he is.

Why! You'll see it today!

I only saw people taking cigarettes into the leader's room, but I never saw anyone taking cigarettes out of the leader's hand.

The key is that Deputy Director Li took it openly, tucked it under his arm like a bag, and went to Deputy Secretary Gu's room in full view of everyone.

"Leader, are you busy?"

"Director Li, sit down and tell me the last few words."

When Gu Weijie saw Li Xuewu come in, he motioned to the front of his desk and continued to finish his writing with his head down.

Li Xuewu sat generously opposite Gu Weijie, placed his handbag and cigarette on the chair next to him, and thanked the secretary for the tea.

Gu Weijie's secretary didn't have much contact with Li Xuewu, but she knew a lot about Li Xuewu's personality.

Tea was served to Li Xuewu here. Seeing that Li Xuewu was as polite to the people below as rumored, he couldn't help but feel impressed in his heart.

How can a leader who dares to confront and tolerate others be admired?

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the secretary and took a sip of tea. Gu Weijie opposite had already packed up the documents and handed them to the waiting secretary.

"Tell Director Bu to hurry up and implement it, don't delay"

After handing over the work, Gu Weijie turned to look at Li Xuewu and said with a smile, "Are you finally willing to come to my place?"

"Where are the words?"

Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "This is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, so why bother to say it?"

"Aren't you forcing yourself?"

Gu Weijie smiled and said: "I think you want to strengthen your study of political governance. I have never seen work reports made on the phone."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "I reported my itinerary to the factory office truthfully. I won't complain to you no matter how nervous I am, but this injustice is really uncomfortable."

"You know whether you are wronged or not"

Gu Weijie placed a document on his desk and asked Li Xuewu: "What are the activities of the organization this month? Why are the learning materials of your security department all similar, and the core of the ideological dynamics are similar?" of?"

"Really!"

Li Xuewu pretended to be surprised and opened the summary report, looked at it, and said with a smile: "This just shows that the learning organization here is good and the ideological dynamics are stable."

"Don't look at me carelessly."

Gu Weijie took back the document in Li Xuewu's hand and placed it on the pile of documents again. Li Xuewu pointed his finger and said: "Organizational learning cannot be careless, and ideological dynamic monitoring cannot be fooled."

"Can't~"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "The organizational activities of our department are all normal. There is absolutely nothing that you are worried about. I will tell Director Yu later to see if everyone is communicating and learning."

When Gu Weijie saw that Li Xuewu spoke of this matter so freshly and refinedly, she reluctantly twitched her lips, glanced at the cigarette next to Li Xuewu, and asked, "Bring it to me?"

"This is not the case"

Li Xuewu quickly shook his head and explained: "This is a reward from Deputy Director Li. If you want to compete, I don't mind."

"Do I have to give you a gift if I co-write it?"

Gu Weijie glared at Li Xuewu dissatisfied, and then asked: "How did the matter go?"

"have no idea"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining: "Who can guess what he is thinking, but the security office will have more work in the future."

"Get nervous"

Gu Weijie understood what Li Xuewu meant and frowned and said: "He will never give up until he achieves his goal. After such a big struggle, he will never let go as soon as he can."

"It's you!"

Gu Weijie looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "What do you think?"

"What do you think?"

Li Xuewu said innocently: "I want world peace, but is it possible?"

"I asked you about the mid-year meeting"

Gu Weijie tapped her finger on the desk and said, "You're not listening, are you? Or are you really ready to go further?"

"Stop treating me poorly"

Li Xuewu said helplessly: "Yang Zongfang told me this at noon. How can I make progress at my age?"

"Haha, he will find time."

When Gu Weijie heard Li Xuewu mention Yang Zongfang, she couldn't help but chuckle, and then said: "The secretary has such an idea. It seems that the factory director also intends to transfer you to exercise."

"I didn't hear anything. I was just busy working my head off."

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "But I am a brick in the factory. I can move it wherever it is needed in the factory. I obey the decision of the organization."

"That means I don't want to move yet."

Gu Weijie nodded and said: "I don't agree with your move. It is not good for the current situation of the steel rolling mill, and it is also bad for your personal development. After all, you are still young, you can wait."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean...?"

“It’s still about stability”

Gu Weijie leaned back slightly on the chair, crossed his arms across his chest, frowned slightly and said: "The situation has changed too fast. The main task at the moment is to ensure the normal production of the steel rolling mill. Everyone must... This is the goal."

“Including ongoing projects?”

Li Xuewu touched the cigarette in his pocket out of habit, but with Gu Weijie, he restrained his hand movements.

Although Gu Weijie also smokes, it is not good in front of female leaders.

Li Xuewu didn't have the habit of smoking with women, and he felt a little awkward.

"all"

Gu Weijie also noticed Li Xuewu's awkwardness and admired his self-control.

"The steel rolling mill does not belong to one person. You can't make it if you do it, and you can't make it if others do it. Why not think broadly and improve your own situation."

"Haha, I'm not like you said."

When Li Xuewu saw Gu Weijie say this, he didn't think she was wearing the same pants as Jing Yunong.

Gu Weijie is still a very public-spirited person. After being transferred to the steel rolling mill, her serious and responsible side can be seen in her work.

Li Xuewu had also been in contact with her in private. She was a very generous woman, and she really had a big picture.

"I know"

Gu Weijie looked at Li Xuewu and nodded, saying: "Your conduct and style of doing things are still very decent. You are sober and prudent. I believe you will not do anything that harms the public and enriches your private life."

After speaking, he leaned forward again, leaning on the table with his elbows, and said to Li Xuewu: "You are now a division-level cadre. You must look at the problem from an overall perspective. The Security Department should be your starting point, not your end." end".

“Thank you for your guidance, leader”

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I feel relieved after hearing the organization's comments, otherwise I would still be worried about the malicious slander."

"Being clean is better than anything else"

Gu Weijie glanced at Li Xuewu, and then said: "Keep the combat effectiveness and purity of the security department, adhere to the bottom line of a powerful department, and never cross that red line."

"clear"

Li Xuewu knew what Gu Weijie was worried about, so he gave a clear attitude very seriously.

Gu Weijie took a deep look at Li Xuewu, nodded, and then said: "I have discussed with the secretary that you will be promoted to the committee at this year's mid-year meeting."

After saying this, without waiting for Li Xuewu to say some words of thanks or expression, he directly nodded and emphasized: "This is not only an affirmation of your personal ability, but also a respect for the current situation of the security office. You can You have to weigh it carefully."

"clear"

Li Xuewu expressed his attitude again, but didn't say much.

Yang Yuansong and Gu Weijie have inspected and discussed him many times. Li Xuewu's personal attitude is not the key, but his position and attitude towards doing things are the key.

Coming out of Gu Weijie's office, Li Xuewu had something else in his hands. Gu Weijie gave him a study note.

Doing business and doing administrative work are two different things. Although Li Xuewu is now the head of the Security Department, he is weak in administrative work.

Sending Li Xuewu study notes is a symbol of letting him learn more theoretical knowledge. It also encourages Li Xuewu to keep his mission in mind and not forget his original intention after he enters the profession.

"Director, are you going to have a conversation or to receive a gift?"

As soon as Sha Qizhi came out of the office, he saw Li Xuewu carrying it and holding it under his arms.

General Li Xuewu patted the thing in Sha Qi's hand gently, and said with a smile: "I'm going to rob."

"Hehehe~"

Sha Qizhi smiled and took the cigarette and notebook, and said: "Next time you go to "rob", let me follow you, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it."

“Beautiful thought”

Li Xuewu entered the office with a smile. As he walked to his desk, he said, "Deputy Director Li said that he would not welcome me to report on my work for the time being. Deputy Secretary Gu also meant the same thing."

Hearing this, Sha Qizhi's eyelids jumped. The director could always say something in a joking way.

Deputy Director Li is the leader of the Security Department, and Deputy Secretary Gu is the deputy secretary in charge of administrative affairs. The people Li Xuewu is mainly responsible for say they are not welcome. What does that mean?

"If you say that being unpopular is not the most powerful thing"

Sha Qizhi put the cigarettes into the drawer for Li Xuewu, while Li Xuewu's own notes and the note given by Gu Weijie were placed on the desk.

While cleaning up, he said: "Because of what happened yesterday, Director Xia of the Design Department was scolded by Deputy Director Nie."

"What does it have to do with him?"

Li Xuewu glanced at Shaqi with raised eyebrows, and continued to annotate documents with the pen in his hand.

Sha Qizhi explained softly: "Deputy Factory Director Nie originally wanted to find Director Kuang, but Director Kuang was beaten at the radio station. He is still lying in the hospital. Why didn't he go to the design office because of his anger?" .

“It’s just a coincidence”

Sha Qizhi put away the documents approved by Li Xuewu, handed another copy over, and explained: "Today, Deputy Director Nie went to the design office to inspect the work. He saw someone tinkering with the engine in the experimental workshop. He was very angry. He scolded Director Xia for being greedy and greedy."

“It’s really lively”

Li Xuewu lowered his head and didn't care about this, but asked about the joint enterprise's site selection.

"Has the Engineering Department selected the site for the factory?"

"I heard that I chose the land on the east side near the river."

Shaqizhihui reported: "The results of the exploration said that the bottom is full of rocks, so there should be no problem in building construction."

Li Xuewu nodded and said nothing. Since Gu Weijie said it, he couldn't show too much concern.

When Sha Qi saw that Li Xuewu had stopped talking, he stopped talking, and waited until after get off work to remind him: "You haven't been to the security brigade for two days."

"fine"

Li Xuewu simply cleaned up his desk, put a textbook in his bag, got up and left with his sandbox.

After getting into the command vehicle, Li Xuewu said to Sha Qizhi: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Public Security Brigade first to study the recent work arrangements and organization. You will help me prepare relevant materials. I have to hold an office meeting."

"knew"

Sha Qizhi agreed, already opening the notebook quickly in his hand, and began to discuss the relevant points with Li Xuewu.

When the command vehicle entered Haiyuncang Street, Li Xuewu found Ji Weidong's motorcycle parked in front of his house.

"Why are you here again?"

"What kind of words are these!"

Ji Weidong was standing by the goldfish pond with Li Shu in his arms. When he saw Li Xuewu come in and tell him this, he replied angrily: "I can't come to your house anymore?"

“Come as little as possible”

Li Xuewu entered the hall, put his handbag on the cabinet, changed into slippers, and replied: "Because I bother you."

"Haha, you really told me that I can't come if you bother me?"

Ji Weidong curled his lips, looked at Li Shu and asked teasingly: "Isn't it okay if the eldest niece doesn't bother me? Is she the eldest niece~"

Li Shu saw this man talking to her and didn't know what he meant, but she couldn't let the guest's words fall on the floor.

"Yo!"

"Hahaha~"

Ji Weidong couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Shu's cute appearance. He turned to Li Xuewu and said, "You are a very smart girl. You even know how to use goldfish to change the subject with me."

Every time Li Shu wanted to show others her goldfish, she would point her little finger into the fish pond and say "yo".

I don’t know if I’m imitating someone else’s speech, or if I’m mistaking it for a fish.

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes, took his daughter from Ji Weidong's hand, and said impatiently: "I like my daughter to have one by myself."

"I want to give birth"

Ji Weidong raised his eyebrows and said: "It is best for the first child to be a daughter."

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Can I have a face?"

Li Xuewu bumped into Li Shu and stopped her from making trouble with him, but said sarcastically to Ji Weidong: "You are married. If you have a production permit, you can just say you are giving birth."

"Hey! You're really lying"

Ji Weidong raised his eyebrows and shook his head at Li Xuewu and said, "Brother, I'm getting married."

"who you?"

Li Xuewu curled his lips in a funny way and said, "Why didn't I see Han Yating reporting to me?"

"No...not her"

The smile on Ji Weidong's face that was still happy just now disappeared, leaving only embarrassment and helplessness.

"They are from our department. They are all in the same unit, so they can be easily deployed."

"oh?"

Although Li Xuewu was surprised in his heart, he didn't show it. It's really hard to say anything about feelings.

Ji Weidong and Han Yating were introduced by Li Xuewu. Ji Weidong's family was from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and Hanyating's family was from the Worker's Bureau, which was actually quite suitable.

But who gave Ji Weidong the opportunity for development now? It is said that a good man has his ambitions in all directions, but these four directions also mean that there is less gathering and more separation.

It's not like Li Xuewu hasn't seen Han Yating in the past few days, but there is no sad expression on the girl's face.

Maybe it's because he thought clearly, or maybe he doesn't have such a deep emotional foundation with Ji Weidong.

Li Xuewu held Li Shu and placed her next to the faucet of the goldfish pond. He coaxed her to squat down and look at the fish in the water, but he asked, "Don't you regret it?"

"How do you say this?"

Ji Weidong also sat on the edge leaning against the goldfish pond, and said with a wry smile: "You can't have your cake and eat it too. I said I was going to work in Hong Kong City, and she bluntly expressed her thoughts. I can't delay her."

Li Xuewu glanced at Ji Weidong sideways and said, "Did you tell your family? Isn't this just someone who can be picked at random? Is it fair to others?"

"Hey~ do you think this is going to the vegetable market to buy cabbage?"

Ji Weidong waved his hand and said: "Brother, he is also a unique presence in the unit. Naturally, there are many girls chasing him. Can I find someone to match him?"

Li Xuewu curled his lips and saw that his daughter was about to tip over into the fish pond, so he caught her.

After stabilizing his daughter, Li Xuewu calmly said to Ji Weidong: "You don't love her anyway, right?"

"What do you love or hate? It's so vulgar."

Ji Weidong folded his arms, his face full of youthful wantonness, and he stubbornly emphasized his personal charm.

"Men should put their career first, and women should find a suitable partner. If you don't have feelings, you can take your time. It's better for her to like me than for me to like him, otherwise it will be too tiring."

Li Xuewu twitched his lips. He had no qualifications or reason to criticize Ji Weidong. He himself was not of such virtue.

Let’s not talk about other women. Just talking about Gu Ning, it’s not like Gu Ning took the initiative to pursue him.

Li Xuewu was a very arrogant person. Even before and after marriage, he treated Gu Ning with equal respect and treated her like a guest.

But in fact, it was Gu Ning who took the initiative to close the distance between the two from the beginning.

Without Gu Ning's initiative, Li Xuewu would not have followed Dong Wenxu to the Gu family. Without Gu Ning's initiative, Li Xuewu would not have accepted the care of his mother-in-law. Without Gu Ning's initiative, Li Xuewu would not have thought of marrying her.

It cannot be said that all men are selfish, no matter how you look at it.

Generally speaking, men with great ambitions will not hinder their progress because of their children's personal affairs, but rather find a balance between career and marriage.

From a subjective point of view, this is more rational and realistic than women.

Such things as loving to death and crying will not exist in men like Li Xuewu and Ji Weidong who have strong professionalism and sense of responsibility.

When faced with the choice between career and love, such men will usually choose someone who loves them, because the other person will be more tolerant and tolerant.

The hard pursuit of love requires energy and dedication, and sometimes it may face sunk costs, which most men are not willing to do.

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "This is your choice, and I support it unconditionally."

Ji Weidong came today, and he took the initiative to bring up this topic not only to send him good news, but also to apologize.

Li Xuewu took the initiative to introduce them to each other. It was indeed a good marriage. Ji Weidong especially liked Han Yating's confident and independent character.

But people have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, the moon waxes and wanes, and feelings are never perfect.

Li Xuewu couldn't say anything, he could only say that the fate had not come yet.

"What's your plan next?"

"What else can I do to plan? Just take it one step at a time."

Ji Weidong shook his legs and said: "The wedding will not be held. We both have this status. I will go to Hong Kong City next month and she will still stay here. Let's do this for the time being."

Li Shu almost fell into the water just now, but now she didn't dare to reach into the water anymore. She just grabbed the stone-carved faucet and said a few words to Li Xuewu from time to time.

Li Xuewu nodded in agreement with his daughter's words, but he was concerned about his good friend Ji Weidong.

"What about the new house? Or do you live at home? There won't be a wedding. Things have to be discussed, right? No guests?"

"I just live at home. My parents are not at home anyway, and Yuxiu lives at home less often."

Ji Weidong felt a little melancholy after being asked by Li Xuewu. He rubbed his face vigorously and said in a low voice: "My father means to try not to be noisy, for fear of trouble, he and my mother will not be able to come back and have work."

"forget about it"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Let me introduce you later. If you need anything, you can come to me."

"I would have done it if you didn't tell me."

Seeing Li Xuewu's rare formality, Ji Weidong also smiled and said, "I'm just a close friend like you, so I won't bother anyone if I don't bother you."

Li Xuewu curled his lips and muttered: "Then you are really a failure. You still have a few friends like me."

"Come on~ Who doesn't know whose is whose!"

Seeing the old lady coming out of the restaurant and calling for dinner, Ji Weidong stood up and smiled at Li Xuewu: "The standards of your friends may be high or low, it all depends on your mood~" (End of Chapter)
