Men and women eating in the courtyard

On the evening of December 30th, the dinner carefully prepared by the shipyard became a bit anticlimactic due to the sudden news.

Perhaps it was because everyone had drank just now, so even if their faces changed, it would not be so obvious under the influence of the red wine.

But as the host and guest, Andrew could still see that everyone at the table seemed a little absent-minded after the secretaries arrived.

Except for Li Xuewu, who regarded himself as the host, he still provided warm hospitality and toasted to each other.

Chinese people pay attention to discernment, while Westerners know better about sense of proportion, so the wine slowly began to finish under Andrew's initiative.

The purpose was to allow those who were on pins and needles to end the banquet early and go about their own business.

As Andrew put down his chopsticks, polite greetings came from the private room.

Liu Shaozong and others shook hands with Andrew who stood up, exchanged a few words with each other, and then looked at Li Xuewu before walking out.

They separated at the door. Liu Shaozong and others were in a hurry to make a phone call, while Li Xuewu and Xu Sinian sent Andrew and others upstairs.

Obviously, the meeting originally scheduled for after dinner had to be moved back, and Andrew wisely did not ask any more questions.

When he came down from upstairs, Xu Sinian took out his cigarette case and gave one to Li Xuewu first, and the two started smoking at the corner of the stairs.

"Huh~"

At first, neither of them spoke, but Xu Sinian couldn't help it. He took a long puff of smoke, squinted his eyes slightly and said, "It's been a troubled year~"

"Um"

Li Xuewu lowered his head and exhaled a puff of smoke, paused, and said, "Winter is coming, so you must be prepared for the winter."

"How's it going?"

Xu Sinian said helplessly: "When will this cold winter end, and when will spring come?"

"Spring will definitely come!"

Li Xuewu raised his head, looked at Xu Sinian and said firmly: "No matter how long the winter lasts, do whatever you have to do!"

With that said, he took another puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Sinian and said, "Isn't it enough to hear the dragon cry?"

"Alas~"

Xu Sixiang sighed and said, "I'm afraid this year will be difficult~"

"It depends on how you live it!"

Li Xuewu raised his head and looked out the window. The machine shop was already brightly lit day and night.

He was standing upstairs, as if he could still hear the roar of the machine and the enthusiasm for work.

"You still insist on economic development, giving priority to trade and welfare, right?"

Xu Sinian, like Li Xuewu, stood in front of the window, looked out at the factory area, and said, "You are still so maverick."

"No, it's not that I'm unique, it's that you are walking in confusion."

Li Xuewu took a long drag on his cigarette and said with squinted eyes: "Adhering to economic development and giving priority to trade and welfare are not effects, but the cause of enterprise development."

"If you ask me where to go when the cold winter comes, I can tell you that if you join a group to keep warm, everyone will gather firewood and the flames will be high."

"Hold together..."

Xu Sinian smoked a cigarette, looked at the illusive night sky, and exhaled the smoke slightly from his mouth.

He seemed to understand what Li Xuewu meant. Only by continuously developing the economy can valuable commodities be created.

Only with economic value can you take the initiative to trade, gain market initiative, and capture the maximum benefits of priority trade.

Only by obtaining efficient benefits can we have welfare benefits to complete the united work of the entire factory staff, thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the shipyard and even the steel rolling mill.

With a complete structure and normalized management order, the entire factory can continue to develop the economy and form a closed loop.

Benefits and risks are a good couple and will never appear alone in front of you.

If you choose to hold hands with interests, you will face risks and challenges.

This is true for Xu Sinian, it is true for shipyards, steel rolling mills, and even everyone.

"If, I mean if"

Xu Sinian looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "This gust of wind has hit the shipyard. What should we do?"

"How to deal with what?"

Li Xuewu looked at him with squinted eyes, and said with a murderous tone: "Why do you want to set up a youth commando team? Why do you want to create a propaganda team?"

"..."

There were beads of sweat on Xu Sinian's forehead, and Li Xuewu's meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Not only do we want the young commandos to dare to commit crimes, we also need to use welfare benefits to stimulate them, and we also need to use the propaganda team to clear their names and protect them.

This move is too cruel, otherwise the steel rolling mill in Beijing would remain rock solid in the face of such a complex situation.

Li Xuewu threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stamped it out with his foot, and said disdainfully: "A bunch of little kids, how can I pay them back to heaven!"

After saying that, he went to the corridor, leaving Xu Sinian staring blankly out of the window and continuing to think about his words.

——

"lead"

Peng Xiaoli took the initiative to say hello, and then pointed his eyes in the direction of the small reception room.

Li Xuewu patted his arm gently and asked, "Have Captain Zhou and the others come back?"

"yes"

Peng Xiaoli replied softly: "I went upstairs after dinner and said I was waiting for you in Zhou Xiaobai's room."

"knew"

Li Xuewu nodded, walked to the small reception room, and at the same time ordered: "Go and make two cups of tea."

"Deputy Director Li"

He heard movement in the corridor, and then saw the door of the reception room being pushed open.

Yu Daru stood up from his chair and said hello awkwardly.

Li Xuewu waved his hand indifferently and said, "Sit down, have you had dinner?"

As he sat down, he gestured to the door and said, "It's still lunch time. If you haven't eaten, you're welcome."

"No thanks"

Yu Daru followed Li Xuewu and sat down, but he only sat half of his buttocks on the chair. He leaned forward slightly, feeling a little lack of confidence.

Li Xuewu, however, leaned back on the chair casually, folded his legs, and looked at him.

Peng Xiaoli came in with two cups of tea, placing one cup in front of Yu Daru and one cup in the leader's hand.

Just when the leader went to see off the foreign businessmen, Yu Daru appeared.

The leader naturally saw his reminder, and with just a slight tilt of his head, Peng Xiaoli brought the other party here to wait.

Because of the unpleasantness last time, I didn't give the other party a good look, so I didn't even bring him a cup of tea.

Now that Yu Daru showed up, he naturally didn't care about the secretary's indifferent attitude.

At this moment, he did not touch the hot tea in front of him, but proactively said to Li Xuewu: "Deputy Director Li, I admit my mistake to you."

"oh?"

Li Xuewu waved his hand, indicating that Peng Xiaoli could go out. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "So you are so sincere?"

"That's not right~"

He picked up the teacup, looked down at the tea, and said, "Aren't you here to see my joke?"

"...How can it be possible?"

Yu Daru twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, but did not force out a smile. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "I am sincere, but I am afraid that you will misunderstand."

"Well, I can't misunderstand you~"

Li Xuewu took a sip of hot tea, looked at Yu Daru, and said, "I guess you arrived at Yingcheng before me?"

"how?"

He looked at Yu Daru with his eyes raised and asked, "Are you here alone? Didn't you bring my captors with you?"

Yu Daru glanced outside the door and knew that he had entered the dragon's pond and the tiger's den, and he had asked for it.

"You are joking. Give me a hundred courages and I would not dare to act wild in front of you."

"You're welcome, I should be afraid of you, right?"

Li Xuewu put down his tea cup, straightened the cuffs of his shirt, and said casually: "I should give up resistance and just surrender..."

"Deputy Director Li!"

Yu Daru gently interrupted Li Xuewu's words and said sincerely: "I really want to apologize to you, not for this matter, but for betraying your trust."

Li Xuewu nodded slightly and looked at him without speaking, just waiting for his next words.

"About the case, I can give you an explanation and an explanation, as long as you need it."

Yu Daru said seriously: "I would like to have a frank talk with you. In fact, there is no blood feud between us, right?"

"Oh, who are you asking?"

Li Xuewu frowned, looked at him coldly and said, "Does it count as a blood feud? Did you not know about the cold shot sent through the Foreign Affairs Department, or did I blame you wrongly?"

"You're treating me like a child, right?"

"Please believe me!"

Yu Daru sat up straight and said to Li Xuewu: "As for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it has nothing to do with us, I can guarantee it."

"How to guarantee it?"

Li Xuewu tilted his head slightly, gestured to the door and said, "Should I ask Zhou Gancheng to come down and confront you, or should you follow the tricks of the Jianghu and cut off my fingers?"

Yu Daru was speechless after being retorted by Li Xuewu. No matter how much he tried to defend himself, it would be useless.

Li Xuewu shook his folded legs, looked at Yu Daru and said, "If you want to slow down the attack with me, then show some sincerity and let a little shrimp like you come to block my gun?"

Looking Yu Daru up and down, he said with some disdain: "It's not that I look down on you, you are still a bit small."

After saying that, he put down his legs, stood up and said: "Remember what I told you, just come over and don't do these useless things."

"Deputy Director Li!"

Yu Daru then stood up, stopped Li Xuewu who was about to go out, frowned slightly and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I did come today with sincerity."

"oh?"

Li Xuewu turned around, looked at Yu Daru and raised his head slightly, and asked: "Where is the sincerity?"

"I promise you that I will never interfere in this case again, let alone the arrangements of the branch."

Yu Daru said sincerely: "We don't want the trade train anymore. Just consider it as apology for my reckless behavior this time. I will never provoke you again in the future!"

"Haha~"

Li Xuewu chuckled, looked at him again, squinted his eyes and asked, "Did your leader ask you to say that?"

Seeing Yu Daru stunned for a moment, he shook his chin and said coldly: "Stop being naive, and don't think that I am as naive as you. This is an insult to my IQ."

"besides!"

Li Xuewu turned sideways, pointed at him with his finger, and said: "Tell your leaders, I took the cold shot from the Foreign Affairs Department, but this matter is not over yet, let's take our time."

Yu Daru saw Li Xuewu going out and quickly chased him out, shouting: "Deputy Director Li..."

"see a visitor out!"

Li Xuewu didn't look back, but walked up the stairs with firm steps.

Yu Daru wanted to pursue him again, but was blocked by Peng Xiaoli.

"Chief Yu"

Peng Xiaoli also had a cold face, raised his hand to motion to the door of the guest house, and said solemnly: "Please."

Yu Daru glanced at him with a frown, then looked at the direction of the stairs, then turned around helplessly and walked outside.

When he reached the door, he wanted to turn around and say another word to Peng Xiaoli, but as soon as he turned around, he saw that Peng Xiaoli had closed the door.

Okay, it’s really a behind-closed-doors farewell.

It seems that this time I have offended someone so severely that I really want to fight to the death.

Little snowflakes began to appear in the sky and scattered all over the ground. Yu Daru walked to the car, glanced upstairs again, sighed deeply, and stepped into the car.

——

Upstairs in the guest house, three girls were chattering in Zhou Xiaobai's room.

Li Xuewu knocked on the door and came in. He saw Zhou Xiaobai trying on a short leather jacket. The leather jacket also had a fur collar, which looked very cute.

"Brother Li!"

Seeing Li Xuewu come in, Zhou Xiaobai greeted him excitedly, turned around and asked, "Does it look good?"

"Haha~"

Li Xuewu smiled, looked at it carefully, and then nodded and commented: "It looks great. You have a good sense when buying clothes!"

"Sister Miaomiao helped me choose it!"

Zhou Xiaobai walked over with a smile and took his arm naturally. They stood together and looked in the mirror in the room.

The more she looked at the couple in the mirror, the more they looked right, and her eyes narrowed as she smiled.

Li Xuewu only saw a playful little girl standing next to him in the mirror. She was very cute.

"Shoumei has to wait until she goes out. It's so hot in this room, don't you worry about covering it up?"

"Hey, I feel good no matter how I wear my new clothes~"

Zhou Xiaobai took off his clothes with a smile and unzipped his clothes. Inside was a tight white sweater, which perfectly wrapped his youthful figure.

Li Xuewu has no interest in "little" girls. Even if he is, he will not show it under the eager eyes of Zhou Miaomiao and Luo Yun.

The two of them looked at Li Xuewu's clear eyes with narrowed disappointment, but they covered their mouths in embarrassment and snickered under Li Xuewu's speechless expression.

Zhou Xiaobai had already discovered the clues about their antics and was so angry that he slapped them in the face.

It was obvious that an afternoon of play had made the relationship between the three of them closer.

I don’t know how Zhou Miaomiao did it, but it’s not difficult to think about it.

Zhou Miaomiao is only eighteen or nineteen years old, only two or three years older than Zhou Xiaobai. They are both young girls, so they can naturally play together.

Especially with the help of money tickets, shopping and shopping can be a catalyst for emotional fusion.

There were several pieces of clothes on the bed, including Zhou Xiaobai's, Luo Yun's, and of course Zhou Miaomiao's.

When Li Xuewu came in, the three of them were trying on their clothes and showing off today's spoils.

After Zhou Miaomiao laughed and laughed, she came out carrying a big bag and said with a smile that it was a toy she bought for Li Xuewudai.

Li Xuewu took it and shook it, raised his brows slightly, and said in a funny way: "Even on the scale, the money I gave you isn't enough~"

"Count the three of us"

Zhou Miaomiao glanced at Zhou Xiaobai and the two, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know what to buy. The three of us chose it together."

"I forgot to tell you"

Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and said, "Actually, you can buy anything, but it must be sturdy."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to indicate the package, pursed his lips, and said: "My daughter is still young, otherwise I would play with grenades on her."

"Hahaha~"

They all have younger brothers and sisters, so the three of them naturally know the meaning of Li Xuewu's words.

Those who just felt a little embarrassed to say this were accusing Li Xuewu of not talking about his daughter like that outside. It was so embarrassing.

"Come on! I received the stuff~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said to the three of them: "It's been a day of fun, taking a boat and shopping. Let's take a rest early."

As she said this, Zhou Xiaobai came over, touched her head, and warned her: "We will return after lunch tomorrow. You can go to the beach for a walk, but please pay attention to safety."

"Deputy Director Li!"

Seeing that he was leaving, Zhou Miaomiao chased after him carrying another bag.

Li Xuewu looked at the bag she handed over and asked, "What is this?"

“This is a specialty we bought while shopping”

She smiled, put the bag into Li Xuewu's hand, and explained: "I was afraid that you wouldn't have time, so I brought you one specially."

"Really? Thank you!"

Li Xuewu accepted it with a smile and gestured: "Since it's your intention, I'll accept it."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Li~"

Zhou Miaomiao and Zhou Xiaobai sent Li Xuewu off together, and she specially thanked him at the door.

Being able to go shopping in the city today was not Li Xuewu's arrangement, including the money to buy clothes.

Xiao Liu, the driver of Director Xu of the shipyard, accompanied him throughout the whole process. He went wherever he wanted to go and he took the initiative to pay for things he wanted to buy.

No need to ask, just look at the local receipt in the driver's hand and you will know that Peng Xiaoli's statement that the leader has arrangements is true.

Zhou Miaomiao's salary is not bad, but she can't bear to spend so much. She can't buy anything casually when she goes shopping.

This is especially true for Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun. They all rely on the pocket money given by their families, which is enough for daily use, but not enough for shopping.

We are all at such a beautiful age, who doesn’t want to dress up beautifully?

If a man is willing to spend money on himself, and only picks and chooses what he likes without counting, how can any girl resist such pampering?

After sending Li Xuewu away, Luo Yun pushed Zhou Xiaobai from behind, pointed his eyes in the direction of the corridor, and reminded softly: "Why don't you hurry up and chase after him?~"

"What~"

Zhou Xiaobai blushed and wanted to go back to the house, but was blocked outside by Luo Yun and Zhou Miaomiao.

Zhou Miaomiao also smiled and said: "The fun we have today is all because of your face!"

She glanced at Luo Yun and said in a tacit understanding: "I can't afford to repay this favor."

"So~!"

Luo Yun also smiled and answered: "I can only send you as a favor!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Miaomiao and Luo Yun worked together to push Zhou Xiaobai, who was only wearing a white sweater, out of the door and closed the door again.

Zhou Xiaobai blushed with embarrassment, and no matter how hard she knocked on the door, the two people in the room just laughed and asked her to go quickly.

This was a guest house, and there were people living on both sides. She didn't dare to shout loudly, so she could only beg the two of them to stop making trouble.

The so-called helping people to the end, sending Buddha to the west, for Zhou Xiaobai, the two of them were so cruel, no matter what she said, they just wouldn't open the door.

In the end, Zhou Xiaobai had no choice but to stand in the corridor all the time. This was extraordinary.

He could only murmur bitterly to the two people in the room, then hesitantly turned around and went to Li Xuewu's room.

Li Xuewu had just tidied up his room and was taking off his clothes to take a shower when he heard a knock on the door.

She put on a sweater and opened the door, only to see Zhou Xiaobai standing outside the door looking pretty.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her aggrieved daughter-in-law, she asked funnyly: "Is there anything else?"

"she……"

Zhou Xiaobai pouted, lowered his head and clasped his hands, and said with some embarrassment: "They won't let me in the house~"

"Haha~"

Li Xuewu knew what was going on as soon as he heard this. He stepped aside and gestured to the room: "Come in and sit for a while, and I will help you get justice later."

"Hmm~"

Zhou Xiaobai entered the room with some hesitation. Seeing the clothes scattered on the bed and seeing him naked in a sweater, he lowered his head and avoided looking.

"Find a place to sit. I'll take a shower first. I've put in hot water."

"Um...ok"

Zhou Xiaobai hesitantly agreed, but when he turned around, he saw Li Xuewu taking off his sweater again, revealing his strong chest covered with scars.

She wanted to hide again, but found that Li Xuewu had turned around and went to the bathroom, not paying attention to her presence.

Looking at the clothes on the bed and listening to the sounds in the bathroom, the blush on Zhou Xiaobai's face reached his earlobes.

Although she was very shy, she felt a little happy about Li Xuewu's calmness.

He bent his knees slightly, carefully pinched Li Xuewu's clothes, and tentatively looked in the direction of the bathroom.

Seeing that there was no movement, he started to move like a deer.

First, he neatly folded the clothes he wore today, and then took out the clothes Li Xuewu was going to wear tomorrow and placed them on the bedside.

When she was almost done cleaning up, she hesitantly walked to the door, plucked up her courage, and pushed open the bathroom door.

"I...I'll rub your back~"

——

Breakfast is very simple, we don’t eat at the table together, whoever gets up first eats first.

Li Xuewu came down with Zhou Xiaobai. Everyone just thought they met by chance and no one cared.

Peng Xiaoli had already helped prepare breakfast and served it as soon as they appeared.

Zhou Xiaobai was still a little uncomfortable with his service. Although there were service staff at home, they were not enough to help her prepare breakfast and get chopsticks.

But when she saw that Li Xuewu was busy looking at the materials prepared by Peng Xiaoli, and Peng Xiaoli was still making a report, she had to say thank you softly.

“The focus of negotiations is still on engineering and equipment.”

Peng Xiaoli responded to her with a smile, and then continued to softly introduce the plan proposed by the shipyard to Li Xuewu.

"Geely Star also has requirements regarding equipment investment and manpower investment, and wants to form a more complete manufacturing team."

He sat next to Zhou Xiaobai, told Li Xuewu, who was eating and looking at the materials diagonally across from him, the other party's core requirements, and then waited for Li Xuewu's instructions.

“Not realistic, but can be considered”

Li Xuewu took a sip of porridge, raised his head and looked at Peng Xiaoli and said, "Coordinate with the shipyard to see how much material and manpower can be provided."

"besides!"

He clicked on the document in hand and warned: "Don't just listen to the people in Geely Star. You must have your own ideas. We build the ship, not them!"

"clear"

Peng Xiaoli took notes, put away the documents on the opposite side, and then put another document over and said: "Work report submitted by the shipyard security department."

Seeing that Li Xuewu only glanced at him, he reported softly: "It's mainly about personnel and management systems."

"What does Director Xu mean?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him while holding the porridge bowl and said: "If it is a work report, follow the procedures; if it is a work plan, put it in next year's plan."

As he spoke, he put down the porridge bowl, took the chopsticks, and said, "What are you doing here at this time?"

"Director Xu means that we can transfer security cadres from the security department of the steel rolling mill to carry out overall construction."

Peng Xiaoli tentatively looked at Li Xuewu's face, and when he saw that he became serious, he said carefully: "Personnel matters are secondary, and the system is the main thing."

He was able to grasp the key points and understood Li Xuewu's concerns, so he focused on the office system that had been implemented in the factory.

"Director Xu is willing to fully implement the steel rolling mill office management system in the shipyard, but the current work is difficult and requires help from the factory."

"System problems can be solved by the committee~"

Li Xuewu watched Zhou Xiaobai break off half of the steamed bun and handed it to him, then he took it.

"There are still certain disadvantages in the transfer of security cadres, which will create an impression of distrust in the team."

Although he said this, he also knew Xu Sinian's difficulties here.

Compared with the original complex situation of the steelmaking plant, the shipyard is even more prominent.

Xu Sinian intends to strengthen his authority, so he must capture the security department.

Li Xuewu will definitely support his work, but water from afar cannot quench his thirst. The shipyard security department has many connections with the local government and is difficult to manipulate.

If Xu Sinian is allowed to be the security section chief, then he will naturally have the energy to deal with these people and things.

But after all, we have to control the overall situation and connect internal and external affairs. Where can we have the energy and time to focus on one department?

So what should be said should be said, what should be understood should be understood, and what should be helped should be helped.

"Who does Director Xu want?"

Li Xuewu took a bite of the steamed bun and picked up the pickles with chopsticks.

When Peng Xiaoli was asked this question, he was vague at first, and then replied: "Director Xu said... Director Sha is fine."

"..."

Li Xuewu was picking up pickles with chopsticks for a moment, then looked at Peng Xiaoli speechlessly and said, "That's it? Do you want Deputy Team Leader Yu to follow?"

Peng Xiaoli also felt embarrassed, but Director Xu said this when communicating with him. What could he do?

The leader has some ideas about the appointment of Director Sha. He is now the deputy director of the General Office of the Security Team, but he also works as the director of the Foreign Affairs Office.

Just waiting for the foreign-related work to be completed or the foreign trade work to be on the right track, Director Sha may transfer the work of the Trade Office.

As far as Peng Xiaoli knew, the three directors of the Trade Office were Zhuang Cangshu in Jinmen, Cen Fuyao in Gangcheng, and Lu Peizhong and Jin Yaohui in Beijing.

These people are at the lowest deputy director level. Director Sha's next step should be to go to Jinmen or Gangcheng to serve as deputy director at the department level.

Now is the time for the Trade Office to develop and create achievements. As long as we seize the opportunity, it is possible to soar into the sky.

The important thing is that after a few years of training in the position of deputy director, you can solve the problems at the deputy director level by taking over as the director.

If you really want to be in a commissioned position, it might take you many years to resolve it.

"Put this matter aside for now. We will study it when we get back. Let's do the negotiation first."

"Good leadership"

Peng Xiaoli packed up the documents on the table, nodded and went to look for Xu Sinian outside the restaurant.

Li Xuewu took a bite of the steamed buns and saw Zhou Xiaobai looking at him, so he smiled and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Hehe~"

Zhou Xiaobai laughed and said, "I see you are so serious and charming when you work."

"is that so?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said to her: "Then I will work seriously in the future."

"Yeah!~"

Zhou Xiaobai nodded and said, "A man must have a career, so that he can show his true qualities."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Since you said so, I will tell the cadres in the factory later that men who work hard are the most attractive."

"Oh~ don't laugh at me~"

Zhou Xiaobai patted the back of his hand with some embarrassment and said coquettishly: "I'm not your colleague, so I can't say this."

"Is that a lie?"

Li Xuewu teased her: "It seems you are coaxing me on purpose~"

"That's not true~"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Li Xuewu shyly and said, "You were really charming, strong and courageous just now."

"Ah~"

Li Xuewu nodded, looking at Zhou Xiaobai with an expression that said: "You like someone who is more domineering and stronger~"

"Not really~"

Zhou Xiaobai lowered his head shyly and whispered: "You are just right~"

"Hehehe~"

Li Xuewu smiled and finished his breakfast, knocked on the table in front of Zhou Xiaobai, and said: "I'm going to show my charm seriously. You can move around freely. Remember to come back for lunch."

"Okay~"

Zhou Xiaobai stood up energetically, took the initiative to help Li Xuewu clear away the dishes, and urged him to get busy with his work.

"Go and do your work, I'll take care of it..."

"Hey~Who are you talking to~"

She didn't pay attention, thinking that Li Xuewu was still standing beside her, but unexpectedly she heard Luo Yun's voice.

Luo Yun had a bad smile on his face and deliberately teased: "I said I just arrived, but you asked me to do my work. What should I be busy with?"

"Yeah~"

Zhou Xiaobai pushed her with a blushing face and said angrily: "It's not all your fault!"

Luo Yun, on the other hand, glared and deliberately said angrily: "To kill someone... to burn a bridge across a river, right?"

——

"You're not going to tear down the bridge when you cross the river, are you?"

Liu Shaozong and three others blocked Li Xuewu in the corridor and pulled him into the small reception room.

Gao Yaqin blocked the door, and the three of them looked a little tired. It seemed they didn't sleep well last night.

Zhou Gancheng's eyes were bloodshot, he had obviously stayed up all night, and his whole body smelled like bacon.

"Deputy Director Li, I am serious!"

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't answer, Liu Shaozong became a little anxious. He stared at his eyes and said, "We made the call, we took care of the matter, and if something happens now, you won't..."

"Can't do anything?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, stood in the room and looked around, his eyes swept across the three people and asked: "When did I say that I would burn bridges?"

"That……"

Liu Shaozong frowned, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Will your plan... continue now?"

"Of course!"

Li Xuewu turned around, looked at Gao Yaqin and asked, "Director Gao, what do you think?"

"..."

Gao Yaqin looked at Li Xuewu speechlessly, knowing that this kid was playing tricks again.

It was like this when I was on the boat. I always knew how to play the game of decomposition and disintegration.

The three people who were originally together were beaten and dismissed by him, and they became like this. It was unclear what his routine was.

But when Li Xuewu asked, she could only grit her teeth and say with certainty: "As long as you keep your word, I will never break your promise."

"good!"

Li Xuewu shouted hello loudly, then looked at Zhou Gancheng and asked: "Director Zhou, Yu Daru went to see you last night, how about it?"

Zhou Gancheng sat on a chair. Hearing his questions, he didn't know how to answer. He just raised his hands and covered his face.

Maybe it was because he didn't handle it carefully after returning home, and because he stayed up late last night, the bump on his forehead got even bigger.

"You can go to the one-third of an acre of land in Dongcheng and inquire about it. I am a person who values ​​integrity the most!"

Li Xuewu said seriously: "Whoever works with me doesn't say benevolence and justice, and who doesn't say loyalty!"

"Do you believe him?"

"have no idea"

Zhou Gancheng raised his head, looked at Li Xuewu, sighed and said, "I don't know who to believe now."

"I won't force you, you choose the path yourself!"

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "The fact that Yu Daru and the others can betray me, and even come to the camp to wait for me, shows that Qian Donkey's skills are exhausted."

"It doesn't matter which way you choose. Anyway, I don't trust him, and I won't give him any chance."

With that said, Li Xuewu put his hands in his pockets, glanced at the other two people, and said: "If you want to play, play till the end. I will never let go without killing a few."

"Deputy Director Li!"

Liu Shaozong stood up and stopped Li Xuewu: "We will cooperate with you on what to do, but please end the project negotiations as soon as possible and rush back to Tianjin!"

"Okay~"

Li Xuewu looked at him, turned to look at Gao Yaqin, and asked: "Director Gao, what do you mean?"

Gao Yaqin looked at Li Xuewu. Although she felt a little sad about giving up the supervision of this project, she had more urgent work at the moment, so she could only nod and said: "I agree."

"Okay, I'll coordinate things here."

Li Xuewu nodded and agreed: "As soon as the project negotiations are completed, we will return to Tianmen immediately."

Just as he was leaving the house, he reminded the silent Zhou Gancheng: "When you get to the card table, you must have the awareness to leave your hand, otherwise both parties will not be pleased."

After saying that, he ignored the three people and went out to the venue.

Liu Shaozong's brows were furrowed. He looked at Zhou Gancheng and asked suspiciously: "Old Zhou, you won't remove the ladder at this time!"

Gao Yaqin also glanced at him and said impatiently: "Do you think he is that stupid?"

After speaking, he turned sideways, motioned to the door and said, "Just do whatever you have to do. You are all men, so you can't be more vague than me."

With a sarcastic remark, she also went out, as if she didn't bother to be with them.

Liu Shaozong was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he winked hard, then rubbed his face and said, "Let's go, Old Zhou. People are saying that they have decided to leave. If you hesitate any longer, be careful and you will lose all the chips on the table."

Zhou Gancheng waited for Liu Shaozong to leave and sat there thinking for five minutes before dragging his exhausted body out the door.

According to Li Xuewu's plan, Gao Yaqin reported her inspection and judgment of the project to Jinmen's foreign economic and trade team, and also gave feedback to the above.

The opinion is that they disagree with the external business activities of the steel rolling mill. The reasons include but are not limited to non-economic and trade declarations, foreign affairs risks, insufficient management capabilities, non-compliance with regulations on cooperation mechanisms, etc.

Liu Shaozong directly reported his explanation and objection to this opinion to his superiors over the phone.

In his opinions, he said that the shipyard is capable of completing the construction of the shipbuilding industry and is more capable of completing the export of external shipbuilding capabilities.

At the same time, he also refuted Gao Yaqin's view, believing that the shipyard's management team is combative, united, and hard-working.

In particular, the leaders of the steel rolling mill have a far-sighted and long-term development thinking, which deserves recognition and support.

Following the two of them, Zhou Gancheng reported the dispute situation to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Industry over the phone and gave his own opinions.

That is to suggest that higher-level forces participate in the resolution sequence of this matter and complete the overwhelming processing as soon as possible.

The three of them were shaking the phone one after another in the phone room, telling lies without blinking an eye, each one more professional than the other.

This plan is very good. It abducts three families, transfers conflicts, and has the ability to fight back.

Now they are waiting for the impatient person to take the bait. When the time comes, they will have no control over whether Li Xuewu chooses to beat him to death with a stick or tease him like a cat and mouse.

Obviously knowing that cooperating with Li Xuewu is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger or dancing with a wolf, but now the three of them have no way out and can only go to the dark side.

Now it’s not just the person behind the scenes who is being deceived, but also the team in Jinmen and the leaders above are being deceived in order to protect themselves.

Deliberately creating conflicts and deliberately diverting conflicts, people from two departments were involved. The sharp swords that were meant to attack Li Xuewu were entangled together. Naturally, someone had to come out to resolve the conflict.

At this time, Li Xuewu only needs to focus on who stands out first and kill him directly.

He doesn't need to care whether the person who stands out is the person behind the scenes. Huang Silang never figured out how "he" died until his death.

Li Xuewu doesn't need to really find Huang Silang. He just needs to kill the Huang Silang that everyone thinks of.

As for the person behind the scenes...

Of course, it's the one who is most anxious and the one who is most eager to clean up the tail.

If he even has to clean up his own tail, how can he stand in the circle.

Without Li Xuewu's action, someone will naturally take advantage of this trend to deal with him.

What is missing now is nothing more than Li Xuewu lighting the first fire. He doesn't need to determine who to burn, and naturally someone will help him put the person behind the scenes on the fire frame.

In the morning, the shipyard coordinated several parties to continue the office meeting last night. At the beginning, the two sides still argued endlessly.

But when Li Xuewu spoke, everyone chose to shut up.

They knew who could make the decision, and their quarrels were meaningless.

Li Xuewu first affirmed David's design ideas and contributions to development, and then specifically praised the advancedness and responsible attitude of the shipyard's engineering team.

Finally...
