Chapter 1003: Revenge

From Beijing to Tianjin, he got on the train after one o'clock and arrived at the station after three o'clock.

Based on the current road traffic situation, Li Xuewu would never travel long distances by sedan.

If we talk about it, although the comfort of the train is not very high, the degree of bumping is within the tolerance range of the buttocks.

Li Huai De's status is enough to ask for a soft sleeper carriage, even for short-distance travel.

But because this trip to Tianjin didn't have any urgent official business, and even less necessary itinerary.

So, just the two of them, they asked for a soft seat carriage, chatted casually, and the time passed.

The hard seats of this era are really hard, and the soft seats are not that soft either.

Hard seats are wooden row chairs made of pure natural wood; if you have a lot of meat on your buttocks, sitting is still okay; if you have a lot of bones, you are going to suffer.

Soft seats are slightly better, sponge wrapped in leather, not as good as a sofa, but short-distance is still okay.

As soon as they arrived at the station, they saw Zhuang Cangshu standing on the platform looking around with people.

Li Huai De glanced at him and muttered to Li Xuewu: "Does this person have nothing to do?"

"After all, you have come."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile; regardless of subordination, at least he is now responsible for trade coordination work, so he should always maintain one or two.

But after the train stopped steadily and the two picked up their luggage and got off, Li Xuewu still criticized him a few times.

Zhuang Cangshu also saw that Director Li's face was unhappy, as if he had an opinion on him.

Although he felt aggrieved in his heart, he still nodded with a red face and took the initiative to explain a few words.

Would Li Huai De believe his explanation?

Perhaps it could be said that he didn't care about his explanation at all, and walked towards the exit.

He only spoke to Li Xuewu, and didn't even pay attention to Zhuang Cangshu, who was extremely embarrassed.

But fortunately, it was Li Xuewu who criticized him, so this impression score was still not low.

Actually, Zhuang Cangshu was also suffering in his heart; this reception work is not easy to do anywhere.

If you come, the leader will say you are not pragmatic; if you don't come, the leader will be narrow-minded and say you have a big shelf.

If it were Li Xuewu, it would still be easy to talk; he knows this leader is pragmatic. As long as you focus on doing things, he won't look for trouble.

Even if he doesn't appreciate you, or doesn't think highly of you, Li Xuewu will still use you.

For example, those two in Beijing's tertiary industry have been making a lot of noise recently, but have you seen Li Xuewu take action against them?

It would be different if it were Li Huai De; this is a difficult master to serve, which is recognized in the factory.

That is, Li Xuewu can handle him; if it were someone else, who would dare to say they can guess Director Li's mind.

So Zhuang Cangshu was prepared when he came out; he would rather let Director Li scold him than not come to pick up the station in person.

Work can be wrong, but the attitude cannot be wrong.

Even if Director Li scolded him, it meant he remembered him.

Look at Director Li again; even if he is unhappy, has he said anything?

On the way to the Trade Management Center, Li Huai De's interest in talking was not high, sitting in the car looking at the scenery outside the window.

Li Xuewu didn't care about his attitude; perhaps it was the successive events of the past few days that made him restless.

Especially the layout of that case in the city, Li Xuewu also heard Xiang Yunnian mention that this pool of water had been stirred muddy.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs; now in Beijing, especially in the Dongcheng District, such a big loophole has appeared, so how many positions have been cleared out.

Every whale fall is a carnival of the ocean world.

Li Huai De had long calculated that this time he should have gained a lot, but he also made no fewer enemies.

So many positions, some good and some bad, the competition is naturally reaching a white-hot stage.

This kind of grassroots position is not important if you say it's not important, but it's the foundation and a necessary condition for training the next generation.

Any system cannot let go of this kind of opportunity; this kind of competition is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you retreat.

Looking at it from another angle, where there is competition, there is confrontation; the weak eat the strong, and there are always people who don't get it.

This kind of dispute might not necessarily have an absolute winner, but it definitely has contradictions highlighted.

It might even become a fuse, igniting old hatreds and new grudges in the current dangerous situation.

Li Huai De, as the leader of this "dividing the cake" and "staring at the eggs," must bear part of the pressure and firepower.

It's possible that coming to Tianjin this time is to avoid something; if it were just for relaxation, he wouldn't have brought him along.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party heard something and specifically wanted to witness something with him.

The vehicle went straight to the Tianjin Trade Management Center, but it was already past four o'clock when they arrived here.

The sunset was slanting, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the glass of the building, making the accumulated snow in the flower bed downstairs feel a few degrees colder.

Since they were here, naturally they had to do some work. Today was Saturday, and two hours were enough to turn around and take a look.

Especially visiting the Jilixing Shipping Company, which rented office space here, and talked a few words with the project manager.

Afterwards, the two also attended the office meeting of the Tianjin Trade Management Center.

Li Xuewu commented on the work and plans reported by Zhuang Cangshu, and also gave a speech on the current business and future development goals of the Management Center.

Especially for the next year, the next three years of talent construction, office construction, trade chain construction, and supply chain construction.

The Rolling Mill's three-year development plan and five-year development outline have been formulated; administrative management cadres must study earnestly and comprehend earnestly.

Combined with the struggle goals of the new era and new period, new requirements must be put forward for self-transformation and development transformation.

The era is progressing, and development requires the joint efforts of all factory staff.

In addition to doing a good job in their own management work, cadres and staff should pay more attention to ideological construction, unite around the collective management team with Management Committee Director Li Huai De as the core, and vigorously promote the implementation of the work plans and goals formulated by the Red Star Rolling Mill in the new year.

Zhuang Cangshu, as the director of the Trade Management Center, took the initiative to express his position, unite as one, earnestly perform the duties of cadre management, and actively lean towards the ideology...

Li Huai De and Li Xuewu have come to Tianjin multiple times in a short period, or passed through Tianjin on business trips, and have placed hope and requirements on the Trade Management Center.

Not only them, but all cadres and staff in the factory are full of hope for the financial sources that practically solve major problems such as welfare benefits, development opportunities, and production transformation.

In his speech, Li Huai De also emphasized the historical heavy burden and responsibility that the Trade Management Center must shoulder.

It is the vanguard and shock force of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant's development, the cornerstone of stable production and progress, and the true embodiment of serving to create value.

In the past year, the Rolling Mill's trade projects have developed vigorously and changed with each passing day, and a group of promising and daring young people have emerged on the sales and service front.

They have provided solid experience and anchor points for exploring the pulse of development in the new era from their respective posts for the Rolling Mill.

Walking out of Beijing, to Tianjin, to Steel City, to Yuezhou, to the border...

Batches of outstanding young people and cadres have dared to break through themselves, dared to be the first in the world, pioneered and entered, and taken root at the grassroots level.

In his speech, Li Huai De pointed out that the Trade Management Center must shoulder the responsibility of a guide and also do a good job in the heavy responsibility of a head of the family.

Care for comrades, understand comrades, and truly feedback and handle the contradictions and difficulties submitted by the offices.

In the process of development, the road is tortuous and uneven; there is always a generation that must make contributions and sacrifices.

Li Huai De concluded his speech with the earnest hope that the historical environment of the Red Star Rolling Mill's arduous struggle will end in the hands of this generation.

It is necessary to create more generous development space and rich heritage for the next generation.

The Red Star Rolling Mill is everyone's home; the hard work and efforts of this generation will not be forgotten, history will remember it, and future generations will keep it in mind.

Today is January 10, 1967, and in less than a month, it will be the Lunar New Year.

Li Huai De also brought Li Xuewu along to give New Year's blessings to the workers who are struggling on the front line and far away from their hometowns and relatives.

Compared to Li Xuewu's serious earnestness, his speech was much more tolerant, but also full of hope.

The cadres and staff of the Management Center who attended the meeting were very encouraged, and the applause sending them away was continuous and very enthusiastic.

Zhuang Cangshu knew that both leaders had residences in Tianjin, so he didn't arrange food and lodging.

Especially dinner, even if he was polite and said he had made preparations, Li Xuewu still took the initiative to decline.

Li Huai De had long made arrangements; tonight at his home, in that villa, there was a dinner arrangement.

A family banquet, since ancient times, regardless of poverty, wealth, high gates, or low tiles, has always valued this kind of courtesy the most.

Princes and nobles, grand banquets, poetry and books, pavilions and towers.

It can be thousands of people drinking together, or sitting opposite each other in the rain; as long as they are keeping guests, they must be trusted and treated well.

Even if it is poorer, there are poems about keeping guests in a good year with enough chicken and pork that have been passed down for thousands of years.

Li Huai De wanted to hold a banquet in the villa to treat Han Qingwei, the director of the Tianjin Marine Products General Company, and Zhang Changming, the business deputy general manager.

It seemed he had long been prepared; he only mentioned it in the car, and didn't reveal the specific situation along the way.

Even after the office meeting ended, when the two took a car to the villa on the other side of the Haihe River, they didn't mention this topic.

Until the car stopped at the alley entrance in front of the two villas, the two got out of the car at the same time.

After the driver drove away, he smiled and nodded to Li Xuewu, saying: "Should I say congratulations to you?"

"Oh? Hehe~"

Li Xuewu understood the meaning in his words, chuckled, raised his hand to signal the villa direction, and said: "If there is still time."

"Of course, of course."

Li Huai De walked up the steps happily, walked up along the stone path, and said with a smile: "I invited a chef who makes seafood; this time I will taste his craftsmanship well."

Letting Li Xuewu push open the courtyard gate, the two entered the courtyard. At this time, Lu Jie, who heard the movement, stood at the window of the entrance hall and looked over, then opened the door and greeted them.

"Sir, Director Li."

"Lu Jie."

Li Xuewu greeted with a smile, and after she nodded to Li Huai De, asked: "Is Wu Laoshi okay?"

"Yes, mother and child are safe."

Lu Jie bowed slightly and said congratulations: "Sir is a person with blessings."

"You have worked hard, thank you very much."

Li Xuewu didn't explain why he didn't rush to Tianjin to handle Wu Shuping's production when she called him that day.

Even coming to visit after so many days was truly a bit out of line.

But as a servant, Lu Jie still maintained a consistent traditional habit and didn't ask too many questions about the master's family affairs.

At this moment, she responded to Li Xuewu's politeness and invited the two into the house.

The house was very warm, and the firewood in the fireplace downstairs was burning extremely vigorously; it was the kind of Western European style heating facility that only existed in buildings left over from the Min-1 period.

Li Xuewu's home was also like this, burning very warmly, but it was not easy to clean up.

You can see from the Harry Potter Floo Powder section; the furnace ash is flying.

The fireplace in the Haiyuncang villa was not sealed because Gu Ning liked it, and it also had a heating effect.

At this time, there was no such thing as floor heating, and even radiators were just starting and becoming popular.

Ordinary families naturally burned kang, burned fire walls, and those with money burned live furnaces, with heating.

Perhaps because of giving birth, the air in the house was a bit stuffy and dry.

The furnace fire crackled, steaming the air in the house rapidly, baking people's faces red.

Lu Jie took the two's coats and hats and hung them on the coat rack at the door, while introducing Wu Shuping's production situation.

At this moment, there were only a few of them in the villa. Li Xuewu didn't care about Li Huai De's attitude and walked up the stairs full of excitement.

Watching Li Xuewu leave in a hurry, the expression on Li Huai De's face became subtle, then he nodded to Lu Jie and followed up the stairs.

Lu Jie looked at him somewhat surprised, but still tidied up the entrance cautiously, prepared hot tea for the two, and then went upstairs.

On the second floor, in the small living room outside the master bedroom, Li Xuewu was holding the child and observing, full of curiosity and suspicion.

And Wu Shuping was smiling, her eyes full of tenderness as she looked at this pair of "father and son."

When Li Huai De walked in, he suddenly felt that he was truly an uninvited guest, offensive and abrupt.

Fortunately, Wu Shuping was dressed very appropriately; even in the recovery period after childbirth, she was still that dignified, elegant, and literary-looking appearance.

"I still heard from Haiyang; if I didn't arrange it, would you not have come?"

Li Huai De seemed to be complaining about Li Xuewu, but he also occupied the initiative in his words and made an explanation.

It was all in the appearance of me doing it for your own good.

Li Xuewu just smiled, then showed the sleeping child in his arms to Li Huai De.

"Why is it all wrinkled? It doesn't look like me at all?"

"Heh~"

After Li Huai De looked at the child, he glanced at him amusedly and said: "It will take a month or two."

Saying this, he took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and placed it on the tea table beside Wu Shuping.

Seeing Wu Shuping get up to be polite, he pressed his hand lightly, signaling her not to move.

"It's for the child; you must accept it."

Li Huai De smiled and pointed at the little baby in Li Xuewu's arms, saying: "It didn't grow small; it will be hard work in the future."

It seemed he was sighing for himself, and it also seemed he was reminding Li Xuewu, but after saying this sentence, he raised his head and asked: "Named yet?"

"Yes, family ranking, single name Xin."

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at the child in his arms, as if holding a treasure, and said: "It happened to be seven days apart from my eldest brother's child, eldest grandson Li Tang."

"Good name."

Li Huai De nodded slowly and said: "Zongmen Li Tang, dragon coiled and tiger crouched, in benevolence and in faith."

After praising a few words, he signaled to the two and went downstairs to drink tea.

In the room, Lu Jie, who had been summoned by Wu Shuping, prepared dried fruits for Director Li, using the ones Li Xuewu had entrusted someone to send.

After Lu Jie left, she turned back to look at Li Xuewu, her eyes full of tension and lingering fear.

"I just couldn't help it... sigh~"

"I know."

Li Xuewu watched her tears fall, fanned her eyes with his hand, and said very understandingly: "He can be called Li Xin, or..."

"No, just call him Li Xin."

Wu Shuping pursed her lips; even though she tried hard to hold back, the tears still fell down.

Under such circumstances, Li Xuewu couldn't say anything more, and even less could he have any impolite actions.

Watching her cry, he could only shake the child in his arms lightly, waiting for her to organize her emotions.

Women after childbirth have endocrine disorders in their bodies, unstable emotions, and are prone to psychological diseases.

Mental repression, burdens in the living environment, and the pain in the process of childbirth will all bring harm to women.

Because of Li Huai De, because of the time strategy, Li Xuewu utilized this pair of mother and son, so naturally, he had to be responsible for the two.

Not to mention that Lai Jiasheng, who was far away in Hong Kong, was still responsible for the operation of the bank's business.

After Wu Shuping was better, he comforted her: "Everything will get better; he will inevitably be sunny, happy, and have a complete childhood."

"Thank you."

Wu Shuping wiped away her tears. Just thinking that her child couldn't even have a real name, and even had to hide his identity from him, and thinking of her husband who was far away at the edge of the sky, she really couldn't help it.

Thanking Li Xuewu was because the other party didn't owe them anything; even if there was utilization, bringing her out of the school was a kindness that could never be repaid in a lifetime.

Neither of them had ever calculated who owed more or less, and both were always saying look forward. Actually, thinking about it, she should be more content.

She could give her child a complete childhood free from suffering, and could give him the most excellent living conditions and material needs.

The most, and also the most precious, was her company.

What happy thing could exceed accompanying a child from birth to growth.

Not to mention he had two fathers.

Downstairs, Li Huai De was drinking tea, feeling the temperature of the furnace fire, comfortable and intoxicated.

He had also had the joy of having a precious son, but the time was too long, and it had already washed away this pleasant memory.

The child left him only his back and stubbornness when he grew up, and no longer needed his management and majesty.

Sometimes he was also reflecting on himself, whether there was anything wrong with his attitude towards children.

After all, he had also been like Li Xuewu, holding a baby in his hands, full of love.

"Add some more tea."

I don't know when, Li Xuewu was already sitting on the sofa.

Maybe it was when he was just daydreaming or looking at the furnace fire in a daze.

"Won't drink anymore; if I drink too much, I'll be hungry."

Li Huai De smiled slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked: "How does it feel?"

"Hehe~"

Li Xuewu smiled and took a sip of hot tea, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "It's hard to avoid being a bit excited."

Saying this, he put down the teacup again and said somewhat shyly: "A few days ago, I was still laughing at my eldest brother, hehe."

"I was the same back then, clumsy."

Li Huai De's gaze was rarely gentle, as if he hadn't detached from the memory, or he didn't want to dissipate this trace of remaining happiness so quickly.

"Sigh~ Time doesn't forgive people~"

The two sat here in silence for a long time, and then he sighed again.

After this sentence was finished, he sat up straight, and only then was he completely awakened.

And Li Xuewu also recovered to normal from the excitement of "the joy of having a precious son."

"You are still in your prime; people aren't old yet, the heart can't be old."

"Haha~"

After Li Huai De laughed, he shook his head helplessly and said: "How can people be happy every day, when time is not old, it is difficult to have annoying things."

After finishing, he raised his hand to signal Li Xuewu and asked: "In a while, I will talk to Han Qingwei; it is better to take down the supply chain matter as soon as possible."

"As for Zhang Changming, you don't have to wait; he probably doesn't understand Han Qingwei, and even less can he handle the city."

"I also suspect that."

Li Xuewu said frankly: "The construction of the Trade Management Center's supply chain system is not a matter of a moment; I'm not in a hurry."

"However, if he is really this incompetent, I'm afraid someone else will have to be changed..."

"That's not necessary~"

Li Huai De waved his hand and emphasized: "Since Han Qingwei dares to use him, there must be a reason, and he can't bypass him."

"You have to be careful that the other party opens a lion's mouth~"

Li Xuewu reminded: "Even Zhang Changming didn't bite the hook, which shows that Han Qingwei wants a big one."

"He certainly wants to~"

Li Huai De snorted: "I can't give him what he wants here, but fine water flowing long is possible."

"However, you don't have to worry."

He pointed his finger and said: "If it really couldn't be done, he would have already replied to you; looking at it now, he is also willing but lacks the strength."

"Then I'll listen to you."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said: "If the supply chain is built, at least it can solve the difficulty of policy constraints."

"Hmm, this point must be grasped well."

Li Huai De agreed with his point of view, but still reminded: "However, one cannot be too optimistic; eggs cannot be put in the same basket."

"Then let's do both; the supply chain must be done, and the joint trade industry must also be done."

Li Xuewu said earnestly: "I don't think these two roads will be blocked in the current trade environment."

"Things are done by people; I have confidence in you, hehe."

Li Huai De looked at Li Xuewu and smiled, then raised his head slightly and said: "Don't hold everything in your hands; you can't hold it."

After finishing, he let out a long sigh and said: "The hardest thing in this world to do is to give up and lose."

"Yes."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "One light, one dark, walking on two legs; it doesn't matter if you limp a little, as long as you can walk."

"Yes, as long as you can walk."

Li Huai De patted his knees with both hands and said: "Later, you should also contact Zhang Changming more; it's not easy for me to communicate directly."

"Also!"

He emphasized: "This person is young, but he doesn't have your courage; it's not that he is hesitant, but he is too cautious."

"Especially in this current situation."

"I understand."

Li Xuewu thought and said: "He might feel that there is no endorsement guarantee, or he is unwilling to bear the danger of failure."

"Even the promises I gave him are not enough to support his ambition."

"You are too paranoid~"

Li Huai De looked at Li Xuewu amusedly and said: "You don't want to control the thoughts of all those who cooperate with you, do you?"

"I tell you, driving a cow is always faster than pulling a cow."

He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Do you know why?"

Without waiting for Li Xuewu to answer, he blinked his eyes and explained: "You stand in front of the cow; what it sees is your back, and the danger is you."

"And when you stand behind the cow, you are its danger; do you understand the feeling of thorns on your back?"

Li Huai De leaned on the armrest, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Invisible danger is the driving force that drives the other party forward."

"Then give him some stimulation?"

Li Xuewu's eyes turned slightly, thinking about the personality characteristics of this person, Zhang Changming.

When calculating others, you can't know nothing about them.

At this time, there are no commercial spies; it all depends on thinking and eyes, which is also why human resource management is becoming easier and easier in later generations.

Because even a blind person can be a personnel director.

Li Huai De didn't pay attention to Li Xuewu's bad smile, lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea, and said as if casually: "Don't pursue the matter of the trade train anymore."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing why Li Huai De suddenly brought up this topic at this time.

"The train of the Security Department."

He raised his head, looked at Li Xuewu, paused, and then opened his mouth: "Bought it from the other party's hands."

"It's okay, it counted as a suitable price; it was Comrade Yunong who handled this matter."

Li Huai De seemed to see surprise and slight dissatisfaction from Li Xuewu's face, so he said a few more words.

He had absolutely no need to explain his thinking and actions to Li Xuewu.

But for cooperative partners, he chose support and understanding, and even more, mutual communication.

"Neither of us owes anyone anything anymore."

"Good."

Li Xuewu gave a clear answer, which counted as turning the page on the trade train matter.

This also meant that in the next actions, neither side could use the trade train as a raft to attack the other.

And Li Huai De's decision to acquire the trade train obviously also bore a certain psychological pressure.

He didn't want Li Xuewu to fail, and even less did he want him to win too thoroughly.

If even the Security Department couldn't suppress him, he himself would have to be vigilant.

Li Huai De didn't want any disputes in the Rolling Mill to be utilized by the outside world; Li Xuewu could have disputes with anyone because he had other identities.

At this moment, he was also reminding Li Xuewu not to cross the line.

He thanked Li Xuewu for his contribution to the Rolling Mill, but refused to give Li Xuewu the strength to mobilize the Rolling Mill to resist that person.

Li Xuewu now finally understood why Huo Ding went to Li Huai De's office on the 3rd and didn't come to find him after coming out.

Li Huai De ended Huo Ding's threat to him in another way.

In other words, Huo Ding should have used the trade train as a condition to threaten Li Huai De, making the Rolling Mill remain neutral in this dispute.

But he never calculated Li Huai De's trust in Li Xuewu, and his determination to protect the Rolling Mill from outside influence.

Having money, being willful, the way to solve the problem is also so simple and unadorned.

You aren't holding the train matter to find fault, right? Then fine, we bought your car.

From that moment on, the No. 1 Trade Train became the property of the Rolling Mill, naturally having nothing to do with the Security Department anymore.

And the Security Department didn't have to worry about Li Xuewu using this point to counter the other party.

This was a time bomb, which was dismantled by Li Huai De.

Maybe Huo Ding also sensed something; he didn't go to find Li Xuewu after coming out casually; he should be able to see the Rolling Mill's tough attitude.

Li Huai De's villa, compared to Li Xuewu's villa, had more thought put into the decoration.

Maybe the previous owner spent the money on the knife handle, making Li Xuewu still feel that this side wasn't as comfortable as his own side after coming in.

However, seeing Zhou Miaomiao busy in the house, he felt that Old Li's side was more comfortable.

Who doesn't want red sleeves to add fragrance to night reading, and beauty to accompany leaning on the bed; Old Li knows how to enjoy.

When he and Li Huai De came over, the chef had already left, and the food had already been set on the table.

At this time, the sound of a car came from the door; it was the main guest visiting.

Han Qingwei was still the same; he was this short when he saw him last time, and he hadn't grown tall this time; he was still short.

A short, fat man; he didn't show anything at Li Huai De's side, but when shaking hands with Li Xuewu, he really compared his height down.

However, the other party brought Zhang Changming along, and Deputy General Manager Zhang was actually not much different from Li Xuewu.

Everyone chatted and exchanged greetings, narrating the hardships of work during this period.

Of course, they wouldn't talk about work as soon as they came up; today, although they clearly knew they were going to talk about cooperation, a family banquet is a family banquet.

When seeing Zhou Miaomiao walk out of the kitchen to greet them, the look in Han Qingwei's eyes as he looked at Li Huai De carried appreciation and teasing.

I don't know what the two of them have played together to be familiar to this extent.

Li Huai De was very natural, smiled and introduced Zhou Miaomiao, saying she was his cousin.

This really amused the people in the house; everyone looked at each other, all trying hard to hold back the smiles at the corners of their mouths, with a serious expression, as if what he said was true.

Everyone laughed, just tacitly understanding.

Cousin is cousin; Old Li insists on saying Zhou Miaomiao is his cousin; who would be able to go to their house to check the household registration book.

Even if you check, you can't check it; whose cousin is registered in their own household registration book.

Han Qingwei patted Li Huai De's arm, expressing admiration; such an excuse could be found.

Of course, this was also Li Huai De's intentional joke; I'm saying it for fun, but you have to take it seriously.

Han Qingwei naturally couldn't say anything to him, but he couldn't not speak at this moment, so he had to turn his gaze to Li Xuewu.

"Oh, by the way, Deputy Director Li lives next door, right?"

He sat down with a smile, signaled to Li Xuewu, and asked: "I saw the lights on opposite, and also... is that you?"

"Cousin."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "My cousin, my real cousin."

Li Huai De: "..."

Whose is not real!

"Don't wait, not coming~"

Luo Yun curled her lips and said helplessly to Zhou Xiaobai: "You weren't there yesterday; Yu Jie said that Brother Li went to Tianjin yesterday."

"He went to Tianjin?"

Zhou Xiaobai frowned slightly and looked at Luo Yun: "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you~"

Luo Yun shrugged her shoulders and said: "If you don't believe me, go ask Yu Jie."

Zhou Xiaobai naturally wouldn't seek verification from Yu Li for this sentence, because she already believed it.

However, she was still unwilling to admit this fact at this moment, and muttered to herself: "What is he doing in Tianjin? Why don't I know?"

"Oh my, my eldest lady."

Luo Yun patted her two arms helplessly and said: "People are cadres; they have work to do, and you are not..."

She wanted to say, you are not his anyone, but Zhou Xiaobai cares most about her relationship with Li Xuewu. If she said this, it would definitely make the other party lively.

So she only said half of the words and hurriedly stopped.

But the words that were spoken, how can they be taken back; it's like spilled water that can't be recovered.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaobai's face had become very ugly, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

Luo Yun also knew she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly made up for it: "What if he has a mission? It's not like it hasn't happened before."

She explained: "It's not like you don't know that the Rolling Mill also has projects in Tianjin; isn't that big building their Trade Management Center?"

"I know~"

Zhou Xiaobai said leisurely. At this moment, she lowered her head and shook her feet, replying to Luo Yun's words and seemingly comforting herself.

It's just that this kind of self-comfort has more of a meaning of self-deception; she remembers very clearly that Wu Laoshi's due date should be recently.

Until now, she still doesn't understand the relationship between Li Xuewu and that Wu Laoshi.

Obviously, when she went, the other party saw her walking out of his room, and when she came back, he slept in the other party's room.

Neither caring about her nor caring about Li Xuewu, what kind of relationship is this?

Especially the child in the other party's belly, she hadn't calculated it with her fingers, but at that time Li Xuewu had already returned.

Moreover, the other party's identity could completely overlap with Li Xuewu's.

Zhou Xiaobai knows that Li Xuewu's brother is a teacher at Huaqing University and is a colleague of Wu Laoshi.

Now it seems that Li Xuewu went to Tianjin, it should be to handle the other party's production.

Did he really have a child with her?

Zhou Xiaobai can accept that Li Xuewu has a child with his lover, but she can't accept for a moment that he has a child with another woman.

In Tianjin, Li Xuewu was unwilling to explain, and she pretended not to know.

But now, recalling Li Xuewu's decisiveness and refusal last time, she felt cold in her hands and feet.

Luo Yun also didn't expect that her slip of the tongue would cause such great harm to Zhou Xiaobai.

She now wishes she could give herself a slap, wishing she hadn't said that sentence.

Looking at her pouting and sulking, she hurriedly coaxed: "I just said you have a narrow mind; if you really have the intention, you can completely wait for him to come back and ask yourself!"

"If you are angry here again, and it's really not what you think it is, aren't you at a loss?"

"But...!"

Zhou Xiaobai looked at her and lowered her head again; she didn't want to say the words in her mouth at all.

Luo Yun understood, and said earnestly: "If it's true, you have to consider your relationship with him."

"Or, you are also willing to go to Tianjin, or somewhere else, to have a child."

"Go away~"

Zhou Xiaobai was embarrassed by her words, spat at her lightly, and then pouted and said: "I don't want to think that far, but I also..."

"Alright~"

Luo Yun pulled Zhou Xiaobai to stand up and persuaded: "It's hard to have a break today; you don't want to waste all your time on wild thoughts, right?!"

"Go go go!"

"Where are we going?"

Zhou Xiaobai was pushed by her and asked somewhat at a loss: "You haven't said where we are going yet!"

"Take you to play something exciting, forget the worries and sorrows, and return to being a white swan!"

Beihai Ice Rink can be counted as the liveliest place in the Four-Nine City.

Every winter, it attracts a large number of young men and women to gather here.

Why say so, could it be that there are no children and elderly people?

The pocket money of children in this era is just like the moon landing of the Ugly Country; it sounds like there is, but in reality...

As for the elderly, they are more careful and can't bear to spend money to play at the ice rink; Beihai is so big, where can't they play.

The one circled out to be an ice rink is just that piece, surrounded by mats, you have to buy a ticket to go in, but it provides ice skates.

Outdoor sports, and it is something that can entertain the masses; in winter, skating is indispensable.

Last time Beihai Ice Rink had an incident, the protagonist was Li Xuewu, but Zhou Xiaobai wasn't there that time.

Very coincidentally, Li Xuewu is not here today.

The two bought tickets, changed into skates, and walked in one after another.

Luo Yun was still excited, and Zhou Xiaobai's face still carried resentment.

It was just that after being pulled by Luo Yun to skate a few laps, her face gradually had a smile.

Beihai Ice Rink is not big, not small; the young people who come here to play have some capital, otherwise they wouldn't have money to come here to show off and pick up girls every day.

Today, it's rare to have two beautiful girls come in, each with their own merits; how can they not attract attention.

Sometimes things are just so coincidental; seeking but not getting, getting but not seeking.

Last time I saw these two girls was a coincidence, but the price Zhong Yuemin paid for forcing it was an arm being hit.

This time he looked around cautiously; the crowd was bustling, and it seemed there were no flower-protecting messengers around.

He gave Yuan Jun an explanation, swayed his body, and chased after them.

According to his personality, the more you can't get, the more attractive it is.

"Ouch! Isn't this so-and-so!"

The greeting was very excited and very enthusiastic, without any complaints or sarcasm because of being beaten last time.

Zhong Yuemin skated to the left side of the two, greeted them, and seeing their technique wasn't very good, took the initiative to offer to take them to play.

This is basically the norm of the ice rink; as long as you look good, no matter how clumsy you are, someone will take the initiative to teach you.

Because when skating, you always have to hold hands and pinch waists; physical contact is an excellent way to touch the heartstrings and increase the temperature of feelings.

Especially if one side's skill is better than the other, showing a superior side between disappointment and helplessness is the best way to move girls.

Seeing this sticky candy come again, Zhou Xiaobai frowned slightly, didn't speak, but hid.

Seeing that they had many people, Luo Yun was afraid of revenge, so she only dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

The two hid, supporting each other and skating to one side, which gave Zhong Yuemin a chance.

"You don't take us as bad people, do you?"

He said somewhat aggrieved: "Last time we just wanted to chase up to apologize and get to know each other by the way; we didn't expect to catch up with them fighting."

After finishing, he skated to Zhou Xiaobai's side, touched her arm lightly, and led her to skate very politely.

Luo Yun said angrily: "Really shameless, I've never seen anyone bring people to smash the door to apologize."

"I have unspeakable bitterness, whether you believe it or not."

Zhong Yuemin "hijacked" Zhou Xiaobai and skated faster and faster on the ice rink, replying to Luo Yun: "I really don't have bad intentions."

"Xiaobai!"

Seeing Zhou Xiaobai had already detached from herself and was taken further and further by that bad person, Luo Yun shouted.

But Zhou Xiaobai herself doesn't know what kind of mentality she has now; when this person held her, she couldn't help but think of Li Xuewu in her heart.

If he were here, if he were with her...

The more she thought about it, the more she didn't express her position clearly, not letting that person take her.

In this unconsciousness, she seemed to be taking revenge on someone. ===== CHAPTER 1004 =====
