Men and women eating in the courtyard

Lou Ting was a little afraid of Li Xuewu. It could be seen from the fact that he hid behind Tan Yali and peeked at her, but did not dare to get close.

But his status as a "civilized person" did not allow him to show his cowardly side, so he pursed his lips vigorously, and even when he was chewing the buns in his hands, his face remained tense.

Li Xuewu didn't tease him anymore, but ate steamed buns and rice porridge with Lou Yu, chatting about their recent busyness. As they talked, Tan Yali listened while serving the child's meal.

Lou Yu did not show any emotion in his words. Compared with the unpleasant meeting between the two last time, this time he felt a little relieved.

Perhaps the obsession in his heart was shattered by the girl who turned her elbows outwards. The palms and backs of her hands were made of flesh, and it was a done deal.

He is in the mainland, and even if he wants to show his identity as a father to reconcile the conflict between his children, he is unable to do anything about it.

During these days, he also figured out that from the moment he chose his daughter as the balance point between himself and Li Xuewu, the family's rights had already changed, and he personally handed the scepter into his daughter's hands.

It's just that he can't calm down the emotions in his heart, his desire for power and money, and his obsession with life and career.

In other words, the sense of expectation to see his wife and children in the port city made him feel guilty as a father, and he chose to take another risk.

Even if he loses, at most he will die to apologize and keep his daughter safe, which will keep his family property safe.

However, he never expected that Li Xuewu did not take action, but his daughter solved the matter with her own hands.

The appearance of Li Xuewu and the arrival of the eldest grandson today just shows that this matter has been settled and is over.

Coupled with Tan Yali's careful care of him and her tolerance and patience towards her eldest grandson, he understood that it was a wise choice to stop when enough was enough.

It was originally planned that he would be in charge of the club and contact Hong Kong City as information support, but now he basically has nothing to do.

The daughter sent her eldest grandson back not only to see Li Xuewu, but also to him: from now on, we will only educate the eldest grandson and don’t have to worry about other things.

"Children are young and still have to learn."

Li Xuewu ate quickly, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, glanced at the child who was peeking at him, and said to the two of them: "Go to the mountains. You need to learn culture and principles. Although Hong Kong City is right at your doorstep, , after all, there is no root."

As he spoke, he glanced at the eavesdropping child and said, "If your feet are not touching the ground, you will float. If you are not grounded, you will have no aura, right?"

The answer came from Lou Yu's silence and Tan Yali's worried and concerned expression.

"Life in the city is better after all..."

“Just go to the mountains.”

Tan Yali had just finished speaking, and Lou Yu had already made a decision.

"I don't want to go to the mountain!"

"I don't want to be a bandit!"

After hearing this, Lou Ting finally couldn't bear it anymore, threw away the buns in his hand, cried and hid in the kang.

He looked at Li Xuewu with horror in his eyes and recognized that this man was the bandit commander that his grandma once said!

Otherwise, why would he keep dragging himself up the mountain? You can tell by his appearance that he must be the one who fell into the trap!

"I don't want to be a little bandit!"

"I do not want"

"Woo~"

Lou Ting was really scared, especially when he was crying and staring at the bad guy.

Look, look, the bad guy clearly knows that he is crying, but he still looks at him with evil eyes and a evil smile!

"Woooooo~"

"This kid, what are you talking about~"

Tan Yali was dumbfounded and tried to grab Lou Ting's hand, but he avoided her, as if she was afraid of being betrayed by this grandma.

Lou Yu put down his chopsticks and didn't look amused at all when he heard his grandson's misunderstanding. Instead, he sighed.

Li Xuewu's suggestion was also something he hesitated about. Children's education is crucial to a family.

When he was a child, his father attached great importance to his education and hired famous teachers to teach him through words and deeds.

Thinking of his father, looking at his grandson, and thinking of himself, he was not a good father due to the past and today's situation.

At least much worse than his father.

Regardless of the general environment or the changes of the times, after all, it was his failure to do a good job, which allowed his sons to neglect discipline, have wealth but no virtue, and bring trouble on themselves.

His daughter gave him a chance to make up for his mistakes, that is, to educate his eldest grandson well and become the backbone of the family.

He still didn't know how long his body could last. He waited here for many days with the purpose of seeing Li Xuewu, but he was worried after he recovered.

"Pack up today and leave tomorrow"

Lou Yu straightened up, glanced at his wife, nodded slowly and said, "Don't pamper him. There will be no more buns to eat in the future."

"I don't want it~! I want to go home~ uh~ I want to go home~ I don't want it..."

Lou Ting kept hiding in the corner, crying harder and harder, which made Tan Yali feel a little unbearable.

"Why don't you take it slow?"

Although she said this to her husband, she looked at Li Xuewu, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Li Xuewu didn't care much. Everyone was in the capital, so he was still worried about them making trouble?

There was no need for him to elaborate on the stakes here, let alone to scare them. Lou Yu understood it better than anyone else.

An adult from Hong Kong City wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut, let alone a child.

Especially Lou Ting's identity is a big issue. Once it is discovered, it will be a disaster.

"Brother Wu?"

"Well, come in"

As they were talking here, someone greeted them at the door, but it was Zhou Xiaobai's voice.

Hearing Li Xuewu's response, she opened the door curtain and walked in.

"Hello Mr. Lou, hello Auntie"

Zhou Xiaobai first smiled and said hello, and then motioned to Li Xuewu and said: "Someone is here from the recycling station, saying they have something to do with you."

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu responded, and while standing up, he said to Lou Yu and the others: "You should prepare first. If you need anything, tell Yu Li and let her make arrangements."

As he spoke, he took the coat handed over by Zhou Xiaobai and put it on, then took the hat in his hand. He looked at the child over there who had stopped crying and smiled, then stepped out.

Lou Yu nodded and told him to go get busy and don't worry about it. Tan Yali sent Li Xuewu and the two out.

Zhou Xiaobai was smart. When he saw Tan Yali coming out, he went to the entrance of the courtyard to wait.

"Learn martial arts..."

Tan Yali stopped Li Xuewu, but when she faced this uncle, she didn't know what to say.

Li Xuewu understood what she meant, smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, Mom, don't worry, everything is fine."

"I just feel like I can't help you"

Tan Yali wiped the tears from her eyes sadly, took a deep breath, and said, "For Xiao'e's sake, please bear with me."

"Wouldn't it be a heretic to say so?"

Li Xuewu motioned to the main room and said: "Come on, don't think about it too much, go back to the room, it's very cold."

Tan Yali watched Li Xuewu leave the courtyard before wiping away her tears and walking back.

The things her daughter did made her both comfortable and worried, but the variables in their family's life were decided by her uncle.

After so many years of grievances accumulated in her heart, but she couldn't bear to see her husband die in depression, she could only take the initiative to ease the relationship with her children and her husband.

In this way, it seemed to refute the good intentions of the two children, and they were afraid that Li Xuewu would think too much.

There is no balance in life, let alone fairness. All there is is the pursuit of peace.

——

Zhou Xiaobai walked beside Li Xuewu and glanced at Li Xuewu secretly. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. It was obvious from her footsteps that she was in a very happy mood.

Li Xuewu turned to look at her, chuckled and asked, "Why are you laughing? What's there to be happy about?"

"No~"

Zhou Xiaobai pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and said, "Isn't that what I usually do~"

Li Xuewu looked her over and said, "Isn't this a virgin?"

"What!"

Zhou Xiaobai's expression changed due to his amusement, and then he said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't!"

"Okay~Okay~Okay~"

Li Xuewu saw how anxious she was, and quickly comforted her: "I'm just teasing you, why are you taking it seriously?"

"I don't like this joke"

Zhou Xiaobai glanced at Li Xuewu, then lowered his head and walked forward, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Li Xuewu followed helplessly, watching her acting out her temper, which was similar to Li Xue.

The management office was having a meeting, and Yu Li didn't have time to receive him. Shen Guodong was the one who came to him.

As soon as Li Xuewu sat down in Yu Li's office, Zhou Xiaobai made a cup of tea and brought it to him. He ignored his thanks and left angrily.

Shen Guodong didn't know why. He glanced blankly in the direction of the door, then turned back to look at Brother Wu, his eyes full of disbelief.

He is not an ignorant young man. He knows a lot about the relationship between men and women. He has seen a lot of Brother Wu's romantic affairs. He is so surprised because he thinks... that he can do it at such a young age?

"What are you thinking about!"

Li Xuewu picked up two cigarettes and found that Shen Guodong's eyes were wrong, so he threw one over speechlessly.

Shen Guodong smiled coquettishly. He knew that he couldn't hide anything on his face and Brother Wu saw it.

"Too small~"

"What's small?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "He's wearing a cotton-padded jacket, it doesn't show off his figure~"

"Besides, you're a coward, aren't you afraid that Xiaoyan will deal with you?"

"No, I didn't say that!"

Shen Guodong twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Brother Wu speechlessly, and said, "I'm talking about age. She is only ten years old. Isn't it appropriate for you to be like this... that...?"

"Nonsense!"

Li Xuewu lit up his cigarette, looked at him with squinted eyes, and said, "Brother Wu, you are the most upright person, and you think I am that kind of person..."

"Bang~!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open violently, startling the two of them.

I saw Zhou Xiaobai, who had just left, come back in a hurry. Ignoring the stunned Shen Guodong, he walked up to Li Xuewu, bent down, hugged his head and took a sip on his mouth.

Li Xuewu and Shen Guodong had the same reaction, their eyes widened at the same time, full of astonishment.

Zhou Xiaobai used up all his courage and oxygen until he couldn't breathe, and then he let go of Li Xuewu.

She stood up, looked at Li Xuewu with some stubbornness, took a few breaths, turned around and walked outside without saying anything.

When there was a closing sound at the door, the two people in the room looked at each other. Shen Guodong looked at Li Xuewu playfully, but Li Xuewu had an expression of "I am wronged."

"Brother Wu...ahem...too young"

"Get out! I'm innocent!"

Li Xuewu glared and cursed: "You didn't see her molesting me! Why didn't you stop her!"

"Are you talking about me?~"

Shen Guodong curled his lips and said, "Don't feel bad for saying this. In terms of force, three or five big men can't get close to you. Now you want me to stop a girl?"

"Of course I can stop her!"

Li Xuewu raised the cigarette in his hand and said, "But this is not a restriction because of the cigarette in my hand. Besides, she locked my head right away, so I was passive."

"Well, passive... indeed"

Shen Guodong couldn't argue with him, nodded and said seriously: "You were passive for three minutes, you didn't have any power to fight back, I can testify!"

"Go! Don't talk outside!"

Li Xuewu wiped his lips and warned: "The girl doesn't know anything, young people are impulsive, don't ruin her innocence."

"..."

Shen Guodong could see that the girl was sticking to Brother Wu, but he could also see that Brother Wu didn't refuse.

He knew Brother Wu's methods on the girl too well, and he also knew the three no principles, but he had never used them.

He was the only one here today, otherwise something would have happened.

"Someone came to the house last night"

Shen Guodong quickly talked about business and left quickly after speaking, so as not to see anything he shouldn't see.

"It was Brother Biao's father-in-law who personally brought people to deliver the invitation, saying that he wanted to invite you to dinner."

"Mr. Mai? Invite me to dinner?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, flicked the ash of his cigarette with his right hand, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Old Biao's father-in-law and mother-in-law both live here. They personally brought people to the courtyard to deliver the invitation. What are they doing?

"I found it through Mr. Mai."

Shen Guodong said cautiously: "A jade ornament was also sent along with the invitation. Second Master saw it and thought it was a good thing."

"Did you keep the thing?"

Li Xuewu took a puff of the cigarette, squinted his eyes slightly, and thought about the problem here.

Shen Guodong shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing was kept, only the invitation. Mr. Mai explained it and made an appointment to wait for you here this morning."

As he spoke, he handed the invitation in front of Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu took it and opened it, but he immediately understood who the invitation belonged to.

Shen Guodong stood aside and asked hesitantly: "Brother Wu, who is this Mr. Ma...?"

"Yeah"

Li Xuewu confirmed Shen Guodong's guess, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with drooping eyelids: "He came to see me."

"The person should be in the backyard"

Shen Guodong asked softly: "Do you want me...?"

"Let's see"

Li Xuewu did not reject the other party's request outright, not because he cared about the jade ornaments, but Mr. Mai who was temporarily living here.

After several contacts with the other party, he knew the temper of the couple very well. They would not easily agree to others' requests on their behalf. There must be unavoidable favors.

When he came to him, he had to consider Lao Biaozi's face, and also the affection of the couple who carefully taught Tong Huimei.

After hearing Li Xuewu agree to meet, Shen Guodong explained softly: "Brother Biao called back specially, and his words don't need to care about his father-in-law's face..."

"Let him take care of his own business~"

Li Xuewu knew that Mr. Mai must have sent a message to Biaozi, and things between brothers must be done.

He pinched the cigarette butt in his hand, looked out the window, and said: "Go and invite Mr. Mai and others to come over, and don't eat the meal, it's not necessary."

"It's not a real meal"

Shen Guodong reminded Li Xuewu, and when he saw Brother Wu looking over, he pursed his lips and said: "You will know in a while."

Watching Shen Guodong go out, Li Xuewu raised his head slightly, not knowing what this kid said, it was irrelevant.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and felt that it didn't taste right, so he raised his hand to wipe his mouth again.

A few dark red spots fell on his hand, and Li Xuewu knew that he was bleeding, otherwise why would it hurt.

Thinking of the girl's initiative just now, he muttered to himself: "Just bite it, why do you have to work so hard and bite your tongue!"

This girl is not as good as a young woman...

——

It's not real food, it's really not!

Mai Xiaotian and his wife sat on the sofa with an embarrassed look on their faces, lowering their heads slightly, avoiding Li Xuewu's gaze.

And the girl sitting on the single sofa next to them was taking out "dishes" from the box she brought one by one.

Emerald cabbage, agate pork belly, ivory radish, crystal fish, pearl eggs...

Li Xuewu sat behind the desk and watched her put the plates on the coffee table. The initial doubts and surprise were now hidden in his eyes.

Just now, Mai Xiaotian had introduced him. The girl who came with him was named Mei, Mei Xiaohong, and she was Yu Lanfang's adopted sister.

This relationship was still a normal name in the 1980s, closer than friends, but it was not serious after that.

Foster brother, foster sister, etc., just like the names of Miss, Princess, Beauty, etc., have become slaves of the economy.

Of course, the complicated economy has taken action on relationships, and has not spared the industrial field. The words technician and pile driver have also been corrupted.

Miss Mei arranged the box of precious vegetables given by her adoptive father, and then looked at Li Xuewu.

"Director Li, my adoptive father is ill and cannot come to visit, so I am here to express my apologies."

As she said this, Mei Xiaohong bowed slightly, then raised her head and pointed to the ornaments on the table and explained: "These are what my adoptive father asked me to bring here for your help..."

"You are...?"

Li Xuewu listened to the general idea, and before the other party finished speaking, he pointed to her and asked: "Your last name is Mei, so Mr. Mei is your...?"

"Director Li"

Mai Xiaotian took over the conversation with a dry laugh, and took the initiative to explain: "I studied opera with Mr. Mei, and I am considered his student. Xiaohong is Mr. Mei's eldest daughter, and I am also my junior sister."

"excuse me"

Mei Xiaohong was extremely well-educated. After Mai Xiaotian explained, she leaned slightly and signaled to Li Xuewu.

Then he said to Mai Xiaotian: "My father was still thinking about you, senior brother, before he died. Don't underestimate yourself, you are my senior brother."

Mai Xiaotian adheres to the old etiquette. He is vague about the relationship at this moment, not because he is afraid of taking responsibility, but because he is afraid that he will offend the master-disciple relationship.

The inheritance of a master is a kind of status in the opera world, and it is also a symbol of ability, the skill of eating, and the foundation of one's life.

In later generations, the little black fat man caused so many troubles, and the fundamental reason was mostly due to the influence of this relationship in the changing times.

Students who have studied opera are not considered apprentices, let alone their master’s disciples or successors.

But it's not like in later generations, people who can't get along with each other have to call them mentors. At this time, people want to lose face.

Mai Xiaotian took the initiative to clarify the relationship to explain to Li Xuewu and to make it convenient for Mei Xiaohong.

Mei Xiaohong is emphasizing the relationship between master and sect. On the one hand, she is grateful for the benevolence and righteousness of this senior brother and comes to the rescue. On the other hand, it is also true.

My father had taught many apprentices in his life, and many students came to ask for advice. However, he was deeply impressed by Mai Xiaotian, who was honest and dedicated to pursuing art.

Li Xuewu finally understood the relationship between the people in the room, raised his hand and nodded the ornaments on the table, and asked: "Mr. Ma, are you inviting me to dinner?"

"I'm really sorry. As long as I have a way, I won't dare to disturb you."

Mei Xiaohong said very politely: "My foster father is not in good health, and I am even more worried after hearing about my foster brother Yu Lanfang."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Mai Xiaotian and his wife, and explained: "Knowing that you took over this case as an expert, I also inquired in many ways, and then I approached Brother Xiaotian."

"Director Li, this case...?"

Mai Xiaotian was in a dilemma. He was afraid of running into trouble with Li Xuewu, so he contacted his son-in-law in advance before visiting.

According to what his son-in-law said, he also obeyed fate in everything he did and fulfilled the friendship between his teachers and his sect.

"Yu Lanfang and I are old acquaintances. I know him a little bit, but I would never have the guts to cheat money and kill people."

"do not talk like that"

Hu Huilan touched her husband, gave him a look, then took Mei Xiaohong's hand and explained to Li Xuewu: "We are acquaintances, but we don't know about the conflict between Yu Lanfang and his wife."

"Xiao Hong is not here to prove anything today, let alone to embarrass you."

She said with a very sincere attitude: "I heard that you were involved in this case, and I wanted to be mentally prepared so that Mr. Ma could be on guard."

Mei Xiaohong is in her early twenties and has followed her father to see many cadres, including larger cadres.

It is really helpless to come here to seek help from a director today. The previous identity and honor have suddenly collapsed this year and become a burden.

Hu Huilan said it more tactfully, but that was also the purpose of her coming here. If she really told her, she might offend someone.

So when I was reminded by my sister-in-law, I quickly nodded in agreement.

Li Xuewu looked at the three people and nodded slowly, saying: "I took this case, but I didn't participate much."

"I have met Yu Lanfang twice. She is in good physical and mental condition. You can rest assured about this."

"Fortunately~"

Mei Xiaohong breathed a long sigh of relief, the tense expression on her face finally eased, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Mai Xiaotian could hear something in Li Xuewu's words. He was not as anxious to relax as Mei Xiaohong, but asked softly: "Then...his problem?"

When he asked this question, Mei Xiaohong, who had just relaxed, became nervous again, holding Hu Huilan's hand tightly and looking at Li Xuewu.

“It’s not convenient to say this.”

Li Xuewu knocked on the table with the lighter in his hand and explained: "All cases need to be kept confidential. I can't say anything related to the case here."

After speaking, he waved his hand again, stopping Mei Xiaohong who was about to speak, and said: "The complexity of this case is beyond your ability to understand. I can only ask you about his situation now."

"Thank you, thank you, Director Li!"

Mei Xiaohong didn't hear the exact words, but she watched Li Xuewu get the phone and was really helpful, and kept saying thank you.

"Help me get the branch, Dongcheng"

"I'm Li Xuewu, looking for a criminal..."

The call was made directly to the person in charge of the criminal team, and not to Lai Shanchuan.

The case is not over yet and is still under investigation, so Li Xuewu is still the investigator.

So when Li Xuewu called to ask about the investigation, he didn't hide anything and reported the current situation.

The new clues are that the two families involved in the accident are not ordinary people. They cannot be said to be rich and powerful, but their daily lives are very good.

As far as the investigation knows, Zhao Ziliang is quite capable, he is very generous and generous, and he has many friends, many of whom rely on him.

Whenever I had the opportunity to travel, I would buy some specialties for relatives and friends, and gradually my wallet became richer.

When searching the homes of Zhao Ziliang and Du Xiaoyan, no large amounts of cash were found, but the furnishings, electrical appliances and clothing were complete and luxurious.

Du Xiaoyan didn't know what her husband's financial resources were other than salary. Both husband and wife were spendthrift people, so they didn't make any detailed calculations.

Another investigator discovered that Zhao Ziliang was on business trips all year round and had many irregularities in his life.

Not counting Zhang Shuqin, she also had relationships with other mistresses in various places, most of which were financial.

Clues found in the homes of both parties showed that Zhao Ziliang bought many things for Zhang Shuqin in the past two years.

The joint factory's investigation also found that Zhao Ziliang had violated regulations on write-offs many times, and many bills were not correct.

This discovery did not find evidence that Zhao Ziliang collaborated with Zhang Shuqin to commit fraud and murder, but it did uncover evidence that he was corrupt.

The head of the criminal team reported to Li Xuewu on the phone that the family's life was extravagant to a certain extent, and he was surprised to see it.

How do people in this era wear clothes? They mostly wear two colors throughout the year, "black and blue" for men and "white and gray" for women.

If a girl or a boy can wear colorful clothes with high-end materials, their status must be extraordinary.

The clothes of Zhao Ziliang and his wife are made of a variety of materials, including cotton, gauze, satin, woolen, etc. There are so many clothes that the wardrobe cannot fit them.

According to Du Xiaoyan's neighbor, they are both very particular people and gave away their older clothes.

Zhao Ziliang often goes on business trips. He wears fashionable clothes and wears a variety of leather shoes to match his clothes. The investigator said that looking at the big shoe rack, it looked like he was in a department store.

Du Xiaoyan even gets her hair done three times a month. Her clothes are no worse than her husband's, and she looks more fashionable than a female model.

Ordinary people either cook their own meals at home, or the elderly do it, and their families hire a retired chef to help cook.

Other families cannot eat meat once a month, but their family is never short of chicken, duck, fish, fruits and vegetables, and even the cook eats it together.

When the investigator visited the old cook, he heard that the Zhao family's food was too greasy, with meat in every meal, and he had to chew a few radish sticks every day when he got home to relieve his greasiness.

Li Xuewu was dumbfounded as he listened on the phone. What kind of rich man could he live so freely in this era?

When it comes to being rich, Li Xuewu can be considered to have a small fortune. If he eats and dresses like this, he can afford to wear it and eat it.

But he couldn't understand this kind of living habit. How much did he have to be greedy for ink, and how much did he have to learn from the outside world to satisfy his family's life?

This Zhao Ziliang can do it. In future generations, he will be a talented economist. He must be his grandfather!

What the leader of the criminal team means is that the direction of the investigation is now focused on Zhao Ziliang, who is a major suspect.

And because the joint factory's self-examination found that he had violated regulations, the disciplinary supervision department is now involved.

How else could Li Xuewu say that this case was particularly complicated, involving too many issues and variables, and it was difficult to find out the truth.

Now the Disciplinary Supervisor is investigating Zhao Ziliang's case. The two units are working together and cooperating with each other. The goal is to find Zhao Ziliang or determine the facts of Zhao Ziliang's crime.

When Li Xuewu asked about Yu Lanfang, the explanation given by the head of the criminal team was that Director Lai later communicated with Yu Lanfang and asked him if he knew Zhao Ziliang.

Yu Lanfang said that she did not know him, but she had heard of such a person and was not sure whether he had an affair with his wife.

What the leader of the criminal team means is that without determining the facts of Zhao Ziliang's crime, Yu Lanfang still has the motive and suspicion of murder.

And they didn't have the energy to investigate Yu Lanfang's alibi or the parts where the two had no intersection.

Lai Shanchuan made a desperate move and devoted all his strength to pursuing Zhao Ziliang.

Li Xuewu understood Lai Shanchuan very well. Resources were limited, and the target had already emerged. Should he keep Yu Lanfang in check for a few more days, or should he allocate manpower to help him clear his suspicions? This multiple-choice question did not require much thinking about the answer.

Lai Shanchuan had already shown his cards when he interrogated Yu Lanfang for the last time. By the end of this month, if Zhao Ziliang could no longer be found, he would be released.

The meaning of the criminal team leader's words was very clear. The case must be closed before the end of this month, even if it is in the form of a wanted warrant.

Li Xuewu put down the phone and took the initiative to preach, no matter how much the three people heard: "Criminal cases are often difficult to handle. Detention does not mean a crime, it is also a kind of protection."

"I understand"

Mei Xiaohong and the other three sat far away and didn't hear anything clearly, but they could tell something from Li Xuewu's face.

"My foster father is very worried about my eldest brother. I'm afraid that if something happens to him, my foster father will..."

"Go back and wait a few days before we talk."

Li Xuewu nodded and said comfortingly: "He won't suffer any loss in there, no one dares to mess around, don't worry."

"Thank you, thank you, Director Li"

Mei Xiaohong bowed slightly and said words of thanks.

Li Xuewu smiled and ordered something on the coffee table, motioned to Mai Xiaotian and said, "Please pack this up and take it back. I've already had breakfast and I can't eat these delicacies."

"Director Li"

Mei Xiaohong insisted: "My adoptive father has said it before. He can't keep these things, and he won't care about them anymore. I give them to you just as a thank you, and there is no other meaning."

"Then I can't have it either"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and signaled Mai Xiaotian to her: "I won't tell you any work discipline. Mr. Mai is my brother's father-in-law. He is really a relative. If he accepts me, he will not be a good person."

"this……"

Mei Xiaohong looked at her senior brother anxiously, wanting to ask him for help. These things must never be taken back.

Not being able to retain is one thing. When you ask someone to do something, you can't take back what you gave away, otherwise things will be difficult to handle.

Mai Xiaotian saw that Li Xuewu really didn't want it, but Mei Xiaohong didn't want to take it back, so he was caught in the middle.

However, his wife Hu Huilan was smart. She took Mei Xiaohong's hand, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Since Director Li is inconvenienced, these things must not cause you any trouble."

"Sister-in-law~..."

Mei Xiaohong became anxious when she saw what she said, but as soon as she started to speak, she was interrupted by Hu Huilan squeezing her hand.

“We’ve been living in this club for a while.”

Hu Huilan smiled and said: "I heard that a literature and art museum is going to be built in the yard next to ours, right? Director Li is righteous."

She first praised Li Xuewu, then pointed to the precious jade on the table and said: "Mr. Ma is the leader of Liyuan Bank, he should contribute to this literature and art."

Mei Xiaohong also heard the meaning of her words, and now she took the initiative to follow the words and said: "Yes, Director Li, my adoptive father is very considerate, I hope you will not refuse."

"Haha, aunt, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Our club is a collective internal club. How can we accept Mr. Ma's gift?"

"I understand all this, I'm just causing you trouble."

Hu Huilan said apologetically: "If I save Xiao Hong's heart, I will also save Mr. Ma's justice."

"so……"

Seeing that Li Xuewu was still refusing, Mai Xiaotian suddenly said: "Mr. Ma is not in good health and can no longer go on stage, but he can still give guidance to students."

He glanced at his wife and then said: "Tong Huimei and Jin Jiaojiao are very talented, but they don't have the inheritance of a master, so it is convenient to introduce them to Mr. Ma."

Mei Xiaohong didn't know what her senior brother was talking about, but she could tell that the two girls he mentioned seemed to be related to Director Li.

Sure enough, she found that after her senior brother said this, Director Li did not insist anymore.

"Senior brother, Director Li, my adoptive father is really not in good health. We can wait until I go back to discuss it before making a decision."

Mei Xiaohong was a prudent girl and did not dare to make decisions for her adoptive father outside. She took the initiative to explain and agreed to the conditions.

Mai Xiaotian held down the ornaments on the table and softly explained a few words to Mei Xiaohong about Tong Huimei's situation, which also hinted at the importance of this relationship.

Mei Xiaohong took it very seriously and said that she would go to her adoptive father when she got back now and give him an answer as soon as possible.

Li Xuewu was about to ask her to take her things back first, but Mei Xiaohong firmly refused and stood up to leave.

Seeing Li Xuewu's signal, Mai Xiaotian grabbed Mei Xiaohong and called Wang Xiaoqin and Wei Qing, who were exercising in the yard next door, to prepare a donation certificate and that was all.

Mai Xiaotian and his wife were worried about making a mistake, and were afraid that Mei Xiaohong could not explain clearly. After saying a few words to Li Xuewu, they went with her to visit Mr. Ma.

Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to those stones. He was not as surprised as Wang Xiaoqin and Tong Huimei.

If they could be in Mr. Ma's name, they would have a foothold for two people who were as rootless as duckweeds.

Mr. Ma's closed disciple, one person closes a door, but with Mr. Ma's physical condition and the current situation, this door can definitely be closed.

"What a bastard!"

"What a bastard. If I see him again, I'll have to spend a lot of money!"

"Okay~"

Li Yuanchao listened to the chattering in his ears and reminded him a little irritably: "We are taking pictures over there, so don't lose your face."

"This is the only face we have left."

Zhang Haiyang spat, picked up five bricks, cursed and said as he walked: "I don't know where you met this bastard, he even lied to one of his own people!"

"Okay, okay, let's just say I'm not a nice person when I meet someone~"

Li Yuanchao also moved five bricks, walked beside him, and explained: "This bastard must be unwilling to commit foreign crimes here and drag us into the water."

"How about I say that last time I met them at the door, they all looked like they had lost their souls? This is what they are doing!"

"We're not the only ones!"

Zhang Haiyang gestured to the hundreds of people around him and said: "Those grandsons are going around preaching about the good reception program of the steel rolling mill. There are movies, free meals, and symposiums with the dance team. They are really lying."

"Look, wait until these brothers complete their mission, and I have to kill them when they get out of this gate!"

"Even if we don't take action, these people will not let them off lightly!"

Needless to say, this kid Zhong Yuemin is really clever. The three of them took advantage of the deception and preached everywhere about how they had fun in the steel rolling mill and publicized their experience in reform.

These little brats get together to brag each other, and every point they make can be turned into a hundred points.

The first ones to believe it were Li Yuanchao and others. After returning, they made an appointment with Zhang Haiyang and his group. This is called sharing blessings.

But I never expected that instead of enjoying the blessing, I would work hard and work hard.

There is no other way, they are all promising young people. This time the cadres in the reception office are more experienced and they have also arranged interviews at the radio station.

It is said that labor is over, representatives must be selected to be interviewed, and interviews must be written and published in newspapers.

How could these young people withstand this stimulation? Each and every one of them almost urinated blood.

The publicity officers were holding cameras one by one, and no one was changing the film. They were just taking photos.

Who knows if he was really taking pictures or was trying to fool them. Anyway, the camera was chasing after him, so he had to work harder.

Zhang Haiyang kept complaining and asked Li Yuanchao if he was satisfied.

Li Yuanchao also looked like he was beyond love, and said he would go find Zhong Yuemin to settle the score when he returned.

After the brick-moving activity, they did not expect to see a symposium hosted by the dance troupe.

Good guy, everyone who looked like little chickens after being soaked in the rain was full of energy again, and the boys were like fighting cocks one by one.

Zhang Haiyang looked at the girls and whispered to Li Yuanchao: "It's so beautiful!"

Li Yuanchao also nodded with a crazy look and said: "Beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful~"

A day is long, and the symposium is short. When they pushed the cart out of the gate of the steel mill, they looked back and couldn't help showing the same expression as Zhong Yuemin and others they saw last time.

The activities of the steel mill are very popular. People who didn't sign up for this period really waited at the door to ask if the activities for visitors in this period were fun.

Someone asked Li Yuanchao and Zhang Haiyang about this. The two looked at each other, then looked at the man and nodded together: "It's very fulfilling, very beautiful!"

Where there are bad boys, there are honest ones. Nearly a thousand people came to visit in the two periods before and after, and there are always people who have to tell the truth.

But among these little guys, how many are particularly honest?

Yes, but not many~!

Especially after hearing what Li Yuanchao and Zhang Haiyang said, they followed suit and shouted, "It's very fulfilling, very wonderful!"

For a while, the steel mill visit exchange program was signed up in an endless stream, and it really became a popular check-in spot.

Every time the event ended, people waiting at the door to inquire could hear a slogan of "beautiful and fulfilling".

But in less than two months, the little guys at the door of the steel mill disappeared and no one came.

No one said that moving bricks was tiring, and they all said that the reform of the steel mill was good and there was no need for exchange.
