Chapter 1018: Daring to Say Anything

Regarding Li Xuewu's request, Gu Weijie still chose to compromise.

She currently lacked the ability to control the Rolling Mill from falling into a dangerous situation.

Once she acted rashly, it would inevitably cause a backlash from many sides, including attention from above.

A situation that couldn't be won steadily, even if she acted, would just be a flash in the pan.

Looking at the coffee can on the desk, Gu Weijie narrowed her eyes and told the secretary to put it away.

Bitter first, sweet later?

You don't need to teach me that!

"What is Deputy Director Jing busy with today?"

Gu Weijie looked at the document in her hand and asked the secretary.

The secretary looked at her and replied softly: "She met with the Dongcheng Credit Union in the morning, and this afternoon she should be holding an on-site meeting at the tertiary industry."

"Mm, Monday then."

Gu Weijie said without lifting her head: "Discuss the personnel issues during the merger process of the Motorcycle 16th Factory and 7th Factory."

"Alright, I'll go handle it right away."

The secretary nodded and agreed, and just as he was about to turn around, he heard the leader instruct: "Find this year's organizational personnel work plan; I want to look at it again."

"Alright, leader."

The secretary nodded, and seeing she didn't speak again, he left the office.

He felt something was going to happen when Deputy Director Li from the Committee Office came just now, but the leader didn't keep him in the room, so he didn't know what both sides talked about.

As for that can of coffee, although he hadn't drunk it, he knew what it was.

This kind of fashionable thing being given between leaders didn't show anything.

However, from the leader asking about Deputy Director Jing's news and wanting to see the organizational personnel plan document, he could basically guess the gist.

The secretary is the leader's hands and eyes; actions naturally reflect what the brain is thinking.

Over-speculating on the leader's thoughts is a dangerous behavior, and even detested.

But as long as one doesn't say it out loud, who would know how much they know?

Third floor, corridor.

Cheng Kaiyuan's secretary, Zhang Shicheng, came out of the office and happened to run into Gu Weijie's secretary.

"It's Saturday, about to get off work."

"Hehe, picking up something."

Gu Weijie's secretary smiled and replied, gestured to the other party, and asked: "You are...?"

"Nothing, just tidying up, getting ready to get off work."

Zhang Shicheng also smiled, nodded at the other party, and headed downstairs.

Gu Weijie's secretary watched his figure, his eyes narrowed like a little fox.

They were both secretaries of the Committee Office, both secretaries of deputy directors, and in the same age group—the competitive relationship couldn't be more tense.

The two met and said many words, but not a single one was true; it was all mutual probing.

Especially Zhang Shicheng; this person's reputation in the Committee Office wasn't very good, especially good at flattery, and he said nice things in all sorts of ways.

Peng Xiaoli was unwilling to pay him any mind, and the others were the same; there is a hierarchy of contempt even within their circle.

Of course, the relationship between relationships also depends on the leaders.

Some leaders have relatively good private relationships, and some leaders have tacit work relationships, so the secretaries also appear harmonious.

But if the relationship between leaders is indifferent, the secretaries will naturally carry a sense of confrontation.

Zhang Shicheng came down from upstairs, knowing there were many pairs of eyes following him, but he still didn't care much.

Passing by the security post at the entrance, he even smiled and greeted the security guard.

Smile at everyone you see, and you can get along even if you're not familiar.

The Rolling Mill organization isn't easy to mix in, especially for secretaries of the Committee Office; it's almost like fighting with real swords and guns.

Before becoming a secretary for a leader, there was intrigue, guarding against old comrades, watching new comrades, very afraid of being set up.

Especially paying attention to one's own moral cultivation and work reputation; work ability is secondary—being able to enter this unit, how could there be any trash?

Leaders generally look at character first when choosing a secretary, then at evaluation; once there's no problem, they will try them out for a period of time.

Basically, as long as the performance is qualified, they won't change secretaries.

Once they become a full-time secretary, they change to a batch of imaginary enemies; I won't say who they are guarding against, but the strength of the other party has absolutely improved by more than one level.

Busy with the leader's affairs every day, they also have to pay attention to their own learning and improvement.

Especially writing ability; this thing can't be practiced without time and effort.

Even if you search the whole Rolling Mill, you can't find someone like Li Xuewu.

Zhang Shicheng came to the Rolling Mill a year earlier than Li Xuewu and knew his progress process very well.

Not to mention the business work done in the Security Office, just focusing on the writing level he paid attention to, the old guys in the Committee Office had to sigh in inferiority.

It's simply not in the same order of magnitude; reading his articles, they don't even have the qualification to evaluate them.

At the beginning, Li Xuewu's articles were published and reprinted in major newspapers one after another; it wasn't that there weren't those in the Committee Office who weren't convinced, and there were many who clamored.

Those "thick glasses" curled their lips when they picked up the newspaper, but after grinding word by word, they could only close their mouths and put the newspaper down gently.

The precision of word choice, the true insights, the high-level perspective, and the sophistication of thought—it beat all the old pen-pushers.

So for a period of time, Li Huai De's important speeches and manuscripts were drafted by Li Xuewu, which caused some discussion.

Including the current Committee Office Deputy Director Shi Ruoweng, who was previously at the section chief level, specializing in ideology and speeches, but still couldn't beat Li Xuewu.

After he became deputy director, why was he particularly targeting Li Xuewu? Because he knew Li Xuewu was the biggest threat to him.

Among all the deputy directors, only Li Xuewu's writing skills were far superior to his.

Shi Ruoweng's relationship with Li Huai De was very close, and he was most worried about the leader not using him.

But looking at it now, he is still not used, which doesn't have much to do with Li Xuewu.

Because of work adjustments, Li Xuewu rarely drafted manuscripts for Director Li anymore.

But as long as it's a manuscript for an important meeting, Li Xuewu still takes the lead, especially for policy and plan categories regarding ideology and business.

Li Xuewu's control over this aspect is second to none; there is simply no opponent.

He himself is the executive leader in charge of operations and also oversees Director Li's work plans; who else could be clearer about these things than him?

It's not that no one has said it—the Rolling Mill has two Director Lis, one on stage and one behind the scenes.

Of course, anyone with a brain knows this is nonsense.

Director Li cannot be controlled, nor is he a puppet.

Deputy Director Li also doesn't dare to control Director Li, and even more won't use such things to create contradictions.

But people in the Committee Office know very well that things finalized by Deputy Director Li basically pass at Director Li's side.

But as long as it hasn't passed at Deputy Director Li's side, if you go to Director Li to talk about it again, it basically won't work.

It's a very simple truth: Director Li needs Deputy Director Li to control and isolate the vast majority of troubles and problems.

If someone can bypass Deputy Director Li and achieve their goal there, the barrier he established at Deputy Director Li's side will instantly collapse—is it still authority if no one cares?

Not working in the Committee Office, not working by the leader's side, one simply cannot understand the significance and influence of Li Xuewu to the factory leadership level.

Li Haiyang is already awesome enough in the Committee Office, the factory's first secretary, but look at his attitude in front of Li Xuewu.

Sometimes when Li Xuewu reports work to the leader, he has to take a small notebook and record and learn on the side.

The young generation of cadres in the Rolling Mill all take Li Xuewu as a guiding light, and the young generation of cadres all take Li Xuewu as a flag bearer.

What if Li Xuewu puts pressure on the factory leadership?

"Hey, Xuewu."

The bell for getting off work rang, and just as Li Xuewu walked out of the office building, he was stopped by Wei Zaike, who was passing by.

"Anything on tonight?"

"What for?"

Li Xuewu leaned on the car door and asked with a smile: "Playing mahjong?"

"Geng~"

He didn't get out of the car, made a gesture of raising a glass to Li Xuewu in the car, and then said with a smile: "Organized by the Textile 3rd Factory."

"Be careful of your wife cleaning you up when you get home!"

Li Xuewu took a cigarette from his pocket and threw it into the car window, then lit one in his mouth.

"Is the 3rd Factory expanding recruitment?"

"Seems there is such a thing."

Wei Zaike pushed open the car door and got out, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Something up?"

"Nothing, talked about work with Deputy Director Gu this afternoon."

Li Xuewu took a puff of his cigarette and told him: "You go and ask around if the 3rd Factory has any thoughts of 'exchanging hostages'."

"Damn, you use such small words!"

Wei Zaike laughed out loud, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked: "Is it that the staff arrangement after the post adjustment encountered difficulties?"

"Who are you asking?"

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed at him, saying: "Aren't you the head of the political group?"

"Heh~ you still don't know me?"

Wei Zaike took a puff of his cigarette, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Don't look for trouble for yourself for no reason; that's my principle now."

"Mm, a bit interesting!"

Li Xuewu sized him up and said with a bad smile: "People all say you're satisfied with your ambition; are you satisfied because you're looking at someone from the textile factory?"

"Your mouth really doesn't spare anyone!"

Wei Zaike scolded him with a smile, then said seriously: "I'll say one more thing, don't find me long-winded: don't touch personnel work easily."

"Even if the relationship is good, it won't work!"

He knew Li Xuewu was close to Xie Lan Zhi, but still reminded him: "This year's factory personnel work is the focus; achievements aren't prominent, but problems are particularly prominent."

"This thinking of yours is not acceptable."

Li Xuewu pretended to be serious and criticized: "Old Wei, you've degenerated; this is wanting to hide! Your thinking has regressed too much; I have to strengthen your study."

"Stop spouting nonsense! Can I hide!"

Wei Zaike rolled his eyes and said: "Leaders want to play chess; I know you're not easy, so be careful; you never know who will come at you."

"Easy to say."

A bad smile suddenly appeared on Li Xuewu's face, and he said: "I'm really just missing such an opportunity."

After saying this, he pointed at his car and said: "Or should I call the International Hotel and you guys go play there?"

He raised his eyebrows with a bad smile: "Continue playing upstairs after playing."

"Get lost!"

Wei Zaike smiled, opened the car door, and got in, emphasizing to Li Xuewu through the car window: "I'm a serious person!"

"Who isn't a serious person!"

Li Xuewu smiled, patted the roof of the car, and signaled the driver to drive.

After his car left, Cheng Kaiyuan's small car also slid over.

"Xuewu, come."

"Where are we eating?"

Li Xuewu was waiting for Cheng Kaiyuan; the invitation was issued by the other party's secretary to his office in the afternoon.

Why say the organization unit is a stage? When it's someone's turn to go on stage, everyone knows it clearly in their hearts.

Li Xuewu finished talking with Gu Weijie, Li Huai De didn't need to talk, Jing Yunong passed automatically, and everyone knew who was left.

Actually, the Wufeng Hong matter had already been handled; Cheng Kaiyuan wanted to talk to Li Xuewu, so naturally, he wouldn't use such a matter as a raft.

Zhang Shicheng came to the Security Group to find Li Xuewu to issue an invitation and also came to ask about the Wufeng Hong matter.

Li Xuewu asked Peng Xiaoli to find another application, original copy, not a word changed, and signed it in front of the other party; Zhang Shicheng took it and handled it.

Just that simple?

Just that simple!

The operational approval application bears the signature of Deputy Director Li Xuewu of the Commission Office and the signature of Cheng Kaiyuan, the executive leader in charge of production operations; this matter is, in fact, already settled.

Once it reaches Jing Yunong, the executive leader in charge of finance, it naturally won't be held up; whether she signs it or not will not affect the execution of the business.

Even the scheduling side arranged the shipment the moment Cheng Kaiyuan put down his pen, starting to load and transport overnight.

Just when the scheduling workshop was arranging work, this document also finished the process at Li Huai De's side.

Very simple; Old Li didn't even ask a word, just let Li Haiyang submit it, looked at it for a few eyes, saw Li Xuewu's name, and the names of other leaders, and signed it.

If you say the organization's affairs are complex, they are really complex; if you say the things here are simple, they are also really simple.

And you have to know, things are done by people, and people are the main body of work, so the greatest influence on work is still people.

If personnel relationships aren't clear and you can't figure them out, don't even think about doing work smoothly.

Then someone said, isn't it just a matter of finding a leader to sign? You have legs and hands, so you can do it.

Jing Yunong blocked it, so Peng Xiaoli can take the document to Cheng Kaiyuan first to run for a signature!

It's not that simple!

If the relationship isn't clear, Cheng Kaiyuan wouldn't sign this name.

Finding him is one hurdle, and getting the document to his desk is another hurdle, but when you reach the last hurdle, he will tell you that this matter needs the opinion of the financial side.

Damn! You still have to go back to Jing Yunong's side.

You broke through the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties to reach Jing Yunong, and after she looked at it, she told you that she isn't the leader responsible for business, so business has to make the decision.

Do you dare believe it?!

This matter is just a metaphor, they shirk responsibility to each other, but in reality, several parties might be pushing each other.

You ran from the first floor to the second floor, from the second floor to the third floor, and from the third floor back to the first floor; it's very likely that the matter you want to handle hasn't made any progress.

Sometimes you work hard all day, didn't even eat a meal, just waiting for the leader to sign, and in the end, the matter wasn't handled, no one said you were hard-working, and they still blamed you for not having ability.

Then someone said again, it's just the leader shirking responsibility and not being effective; the rest of the organization is good.

Do you think that's possible?

The most expressive department is finance; anyone who has dealt with finance doesn't say a good word about them.

But when you enter the door of finance, they are all your sisters; do you dare to get angry?

The invoice stamp isn't stamped correctly, you have to go back to the sales unit to re-open it.

The document entry isn't correct, you have to change it overnight and re-run the process.

The leader's signature position is wrong, the leader isn't wrong, you are wrong, re-sign and wait to be scolded by the leader.

Finance, personnel, organization... you count from this end of the corridor to the other end; you tell me, who do you dare to provoke!

As long as you work in this organization, even if you know they are trash, if their father or uncle is a leader, don't you have to take the initiative to smile and greet them when you meet!

Don't argue, unless you are also in their team, otherwise you will always need to maintain interpersonal relationships.

Li Xuewu is already very awesome in the Rolling Mill, right?

In terms of rank, he is the youngest among all deputy-division-level leaders in the factory.

In terms of background, his father-in-law's energy exceeds your imagination.

In terms of ability, Li Huai De copying and pasting three together can't compare to one of him.

But! Look at Li Xuewu's actions in the factory; is he taking the initiative to maintain interpersonal relationships?

To those above, the TV for Li Huai De, the washing machine for Gu Weijie, the refrigerator for Dong Wenxue—this is still saying he didn't skip Jing Yunong.

Other small gifts for festivals and holidays, travel souvenirs, local specialties—when has he ever cut them off?

To those at the same level, the meat and wine stored in the reception center—as long as it's in his name, he can ask the cafeteria for reception, and he will absolutely never settle accounts later.

When meeting, he takes the initiative to distribute cigarettes; when traveling, he takes the initiative to take care of others; he does the work first, and you only see him as having the final say among comrades, but you don't see how much hard work he puts in behind the scenes.

To those below, he has never gotten angry, scolded, or hit anyone, and even more has never scolded anyone in front of their relatives; he gives the opportunities for newspaper reports and publicity to basic-level workers and cadres first.

Only people say Li Xuewu is ruthless in doing things, but no one says Li Xuewu is immoral in being a person.

Just the young people at the security post—how many haven't received the cigarettes he distributed? He distributes whatever he smokes.

Therefore, after Li Xuewu took charge of the Security Group's work, he had to help the deputy group leaders and deputy division directors establish their professional authority, and he should go to the grassroots level less often.

But his prestige has never diminished, and is even stronger.

You say he only knows how to say nice things and smooth things over?

The cadres he dismissed dare to jump and shout injustice at you, and the cadres he handled want to give you two slaps even as ghosts.

Li Xuewu only says nice things to workers, but he never smooths things over in work.

Especially after being responsible for major work, whoever dares to fool him in business, he dares to fool you in the mid-year and year-end cadre assessment.

Handling interpersonal relationships and establishing a personal work image are two fundamental problems that organization cadres must solve.

Li Xuewu having dinner with Cheng Kaiyuan is a typical manifestation of interpersonal relationship handling.

"I'm fine, it's up to you."

Cheng Kaiyuan sat in the back seat, signaled to Zhang Shicheng, and the car started.

Han Jiankun drove the car behind, having already received Li Xuewu's instructions.

However, Peng Xiaoli wasn't in the car; he went home with Gu Cheng.

"Then that's it, I'll arrange it."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Let's go eat something with local characteristics."

While talking, he instructed the driver on the address of the club.

Cheng Kaiyuan heard what he said and asked with a smile: "It's the serious kind of characteristic, right?"

"Don't listen to Old Wei's nonsense; he has the heart but no guts."

Li Xuewu knew what Cheng Kaiyuan meant; it was nothing more than seeing them smoking together.

Don't underestimate a person's curiosity, especially when he is paying attention to you.

"Look at him baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, but he's actually terrified of his wife!"

Li Xuewu deliberately laid out the words: "He called me to drink with the leaders of the 3rd Factory, knowing there were many female comrades opposite, so he's avoiding suspicion."

"The Textile 3rd Factory earned a lot last year."

Following Li Xuewu's words, Cheng Kaiyuan nodded and said: "Just the unplanned cotton and cotton cloth, how many orders did our factory contribute to them?"

"That's why we need to develop tertiary industries."

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and said frankly: "I just hate seeing them earn our money; it hurts."

"Makes sense, hahahaha."

Cheng Kaiyuan smiled, looked at the light of the car lights in front, and added: "The key is you have this ability, pulling them into the game, and they are willing."

"Hi, without the comprehensive strength of the factory, I wouldn't be able to swing this golden cudgel even if I wanted to."

Li Xuewu introduced sincerely: "They say they are all making money, but in reality, they know clearly in their hearts that making money isn't the goal; the goal is to alleviate and solve personnel problems."

"Mm, understood."

Cheng Kaiyuan nodded, signaled to Li Xuewu, and asked: "Talked to Comrade Weijie this afternoon?"

"Mm, mainly about personnel reform."

Li Xuewu let out a sigh and said: "Her pressure is also very high; you could say she's being scolded and not appreciated."

"Who isn't the same?"

Cheng Kaiyuan nodded and said: "It's not easy for anyone this year."

"Deputy Director Gu is even more worried about the problems of next year and beyond."

Li Xuewu introduced: "Post assessment can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause; post training and re-education work must be grasped and managed for a long time."

"However, this kind of investment takes a long time to see results."

He looked at Cheng Kaiyuan and said: "Investment is one aspect, but it mainly depends on the ability and willingness of the staff to accept education and training."

"Investment must be made."

Cheng Kaiyuan said seriously: "This kind of investment must be persisted in for a long time; otherwise, it won't have any effect at all, and even less form a system."

"Comrade Weijie's worry is very necessary, and it will definitely happen."

He frowned and thought for a while, then said: "First, persist in investment; second, persist in assessment; third, be fair and just; and also continue to improve personnel management, post allocation, and matching work."

"So it's a long and arduous road."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said: "I just mentioned it to Wei Zaike, to see if the Textile 3rd Factory has the willingness to study and handle this problem together with us."

"Are you going to engage in worker coordination and exchange?"

Cheng Kaiyuan was stunned, then looked at Li Xuewu and said: "This is not a bad way to solve the problem."

"It's just..."

He thought for a while and asked: "Are you going to do it just among first-line workers?"

"It has to be seen step by step."

Li Xuewu said frankly: "My idea is to start by handling the adjustment of first-line worker posts, then study the coordination work of staff children's posts."

"Finally, see if cadre posts can interact and exchange; I think this is a process of mutual improvement."

"Very thoughtful, and very insightful."

Cheng Kaiyuan nodded, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Talked to Comrade Weijie?"

"Yes, mentioned it, but haven't formed an opinion yet."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "You also know she has too much work now; I'm adding to her workload."

"Hehe, you can't say it like that."

Cheng Kaiyuan said with a smile: "What are leading cadres? They are cobblers, solving problems wherever they arise."

He signaled to Li Xuewu and said: "The opinion you gave can alleviate the pressure of personnel work to a certain extent; she should be grateful to you, so how can you say it's adding burden?"

"The opinion you mentioned, I think it's feasible, especially with the increase in volume."

Cheng Kaiyuan looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Are you going to do it among joint enterprises?"

"I have this preparation."

Li Xuewu knew he could think of this point, so there was no need to hide it.

On a deeper level, it was actually using joint enterprises to pull Gu Weijie into this circle.

The business connection of joint enterprises provided a very stable relationship guarantee for Li Xuewu, Jing Yunong, and Li Huai De.

He prepared to kill two birds with one stone; since joint enterprises could reach cooperation in business, couldn't they also cooperate further in organizational personnel?

Compared to the complex situation in business, personnel work and organizational work are actually much easier and simpler.

Whether it's workers or children, or cadres exchanging with each other, they can all produce chemical reactions.

The joint enterprise itself has this cooperation foundation in tertiary industries, just expanding it twice according to the situation.

Workers eliminated from certain posts in the Rolling Mill don't mean they are no longer capable, or don't have work ability.

It's just that in the environment of the Rolling Mill's overall personnel adjustment, they don't possess excellent competitive ability.

In other words, the Rolling Mill possesses better training ability, and new workers' ability in safety production and skill learning exceeds theirs.

Such mature workers, if they go to other factories to take up posts and operate, don't need to undergo pre-job training and can directly form productivity.

Then one has to ask, what kind of workers does the Rolling Mill absorb from the cooperative units of joint enterprises when outputting such mature workers?

Li Xuewu's idea is to prefer the other party's staff children, even if paying a certain price for training.

Furthermore, it's to have professional technicians to solve actual production difficulties and form a professional management guidance team.

Finally, it's the workers needed for special posts, such as business management and technical management for tertiary industries, operation management for certain machinery or equipment, security, electricians, construction, etc., cross-industry exchanges.

Staff children take the bulk, other workers take the small part, driving the flow and competition of post technology with a small amount of staff exchange.

The ultimate goal is still to improve technology and competitive ability; what development is there in chickens pecking at each other?

Introduce Gu Weijie into joint trade, take personnel and organizational cooperation as an opportunity, and then build a stable triangular structure with Li Huai De.

Li Huai De is willing to do so, and Gu Weijie also has the willingness to expand her influence; this is the solution Li Xuewu gave.

Otherwise, you really think Li Xuewu went to Gu Weijie to coordinate the relationship by talking? It relates to personal development and benefit relationships; don't even talk about talking, even sucking with your mouth won't work!

Solid benefit exchange, clear communication and exchange—that can of coffee was just a tool for Li Xuewu to cut into the theme.

Dongcheng, Club.

Receiving Li Xuewu's call, Yu Li arranged it early.

The car drove directly into the courtyard; after Li Xuewu and the others got out of the car, the security guard at the entrance directly guided the driver to park in the warm garage.

Cheng Kaiyuan followed Li Xuewu to the restaurant, looking at this courtyard curiously along the way, but didn't say anything.

But the driver who went to park in the warm garage was almost scared.

You tell me, is the Volga M24 of Director Li of the Rolling Mill awesome enough? One in the whole factory.

But look at this warm garage!

Damn!

There must be nearly ten of them parked side by side, exactly the same—Volga M24!

And this is not counting the other jeeps and small cars with powerful department license plates.

What kind of place is this?!

Don't say the driver is confused; even Zhang Shicheng, who was following the leaders, was stunned.

This high-gate, deep-courtyard place—don't tell me it was some prince's mansion before!

It was dark on the road, only car lights for illumination, and it was the driver driving; his attention was all on the conversation of the two leaders behind him, so how would he know where this was.

When approaching the carved beams and painted rafters, the private room surrounded by lights, he was completely stunned.

Cheng Kaiyuan was still okay, after all, he was a master who had eaten and seen things.

Although he hadn't been to this kind of place, he had been to relatively luxurious restaurants and eaten in private rooms with similar decorations, so although there was curiosity in his eyes, he didn't do much.

The well-dressed service staff took them into the private room, helped tidy up coats and overcoats, and fetched water to wash hands and faces; the service was very thoughtful.

Several cold dishes were already placed on the dining table; the portion size wasn't very large, which should have been prepared according to the size of the dining table and the number of diners.

After washing their faces, the three of them received hot tea from the service staff, removed the wind from their mouths, and then sat at the table.

"Really opened my eyes."

Cheng Kaiyuan looked at his secretary Zhang Shicheng and said with a smile: "Haven't seen it, right?"

"Really haven't."

Zhang Shicheng stood on the side and smiled embarrassedly, knowing he had shown his ignorance and lost face for the leader.

"Having the honor to come as a guest with the leader today, I really learned something."

"Sit, why stand?"

Li Xuewu looked at him, smiled, and said: "I can't eat if you watch me."

While talking, he took a white porcelain wine pot from the waiter and filled a cup of wine for Cheng Kaiyuan.

He also signaled to Zhang Shicheng and poured him a cup too.

Zhang Shicheng was terrified and hurriedly wanted to take the wine pot from Li Xuewu; he was really dazed just now and didn't think to pour wine in advance.

It was also because the waiter's service flow was too smooth and didn't give him a chance at all.

Li Xuewu waved his hand, didn't let him take the wine pot, and insisted on pouring it for him.

"Treat this as home; you and I are the same, eat well and drink well."

After filling the cup, he handed the wine pot to Zhang Shicheng, who came to take it, and said: "Don't just learn things when following a leader; you have to learn knowledge and ability."

"Yes, you are right."

Zhang Shicheng nodded nervously; when Li Xuewu spoke, he also looked at Cheng Kaiyuan.

Li Xuewu didn't care about his attitude, raised his wine glass to Cheng Kaiyuan, and said: "We finally sat together to drink a meal."

"Rare, honored."

Cheng Kaiyuan smiled and clinked glasses with him, not high or low, with a clear attitude.

Seeing the leader drink, Zhang Shicheng also raised his glass and drank.

This first cup of wine he naturally had to follow, and after that, there weren't so many rules.

The waiter brought hot dishes one after another, and it was just Zhang Shicheng pouring.

No other reason; the things the two were going to talk about today were cared about by Cheng Kaiyuan, and he didn't hope for outsiders to hear them.

"Mm, see the craftsmanship."

Cheng Kaiyuan didn't enter the theme first, but drank three cups of wine with Li Xuewu, tasted several dishes, and then commented.

Li Xuewu signaled to the waiter that he could go out, then introduced: "Tan family cuisine, old chef, absolutely authentic."

"Oh? I said so!"

Cheng Kaiyuan's eyes brightened, then nodded and said: "It's this taste, can't be wrong."

"A friend's mother, ancestral."

Li Xuewu didn't introduce this too much, then signaled to the private room and said: "This is our club, no outsiders."

"Heard of it~"

Cheng Kaiyuan put down his chopsticks, nodded, and asked: "It was set up when you were at the branch bureau, right?"

"Mm, all classmates."

Li Xuewu nodded and confirmed: "After returning from training in Jinmen, we encountered the department's case, everyone had feelings, and then there was this place."

After saying this, he raised his wine glass and clinked it with Cheng Kaiyuan again; after drinking, he said: "Unity is strength."

"Mm, I agree with this."

Cheng Kaiyuan put down his wine glass, let the secretary pour wine for Li Xuewu first, and then said: "Classmate feelings are the most precious, really rare, envy you guys."

"Consider it a place for exchange."

Li Xuewu smiled, took the initiative to cut into the theme, and said: "Some time ago, the case I went to support at the branch bureau, it was everyone who contributed."

"Is that so!"

Cheng Kaiyuan was stunned, then understood the implication in Li Xuewu's words.

What he said wasn't that everyone contributed to breaking the case, but the later benefit distribution, which achieved maximization.

Cheng Kaiyuan also followed Li Xuewu's pole and pulled Li Huai De's leg to participate in that case.

Of course, joy and worry were mixed; when he came in, the gluttonous feast had actually already begun.

Fight? If you enter the game, you have to be prepared to be beaten.

Don't fight? You came, you think it's play?

So everyone didn't eat happily in that case; even if they occupied the cheap part, they all paid more.

This is a bottomless pit, a political vortex; if you take something out of it, you will lose something equivalent.

It's not that the case has suction, but the vultures that move when they hear the wind create a drag.

It's very complex to describe; simply put, it's not worth the loss.

Perhaps only the few parties that intervened earliest obtained the most delicious portion, and they did not linger in the battle, extricating themselves as early as possible.

This includes Li Huai De, and also the direct participants of the discipline inspection.

Now he knows, the ones who got the first bite also include the people in this club.

Li Xuewu can talk to him frankly about these things, actually, it's because the case has already ended, and the cake has already been divided.

Dust has settled, buy and leave, mentioning it again is just telling him that the energy here is great, and the energy he can mobilize behind him is even greater.

Cheng Kaiyuan hadn't done a review later; he already vaguely felt that a big hand was pushing him to jump into this pit.

His background relationship is involved, with both active participation in the early stage and passive participation in the later stage.

Sitting here, Cheng Kaiyuan very much doubted whether Li Xuewu had participated in the operation of this matter.

But it was just doubt; everyone knew very clearly that Li Xuewu didn't take anything directly from this case.

Including the honors he obtained, they were all clearly and frankly in front of everyone.

But it was precisely because of this that Cheng Kaiyuan was suspicious, and even wary.

If Li Xuewu really discovered something during the case handling process and arranged all this in advance, he could only say that the young man sitting in front of him was a bit terrifying.

Of course, Li Xuewu saying this now was also casting a thin veil with a reminder meaning over the conversation they were about to start.

"You mentioned that case, I remember it."

Cheng Kaiyuan turned the topic, looked at Li Xuewu sideways, and asked: "The investigation is over, right?"

"Mm, before the year."

Li Xuewu nodded, ate a bite of food, and said: "I also heard it from a friend; it was requested by those above."

"Then... our factory's..."

He looked at his secretary Zhang Shicheng and asked: "It's called Liu Lan, right? How was she handled?"

"Yes, it's called Liu Lan."

Zhang Shicheng nodded and confirmed: "Former director of the organization cafeteria."

"Mainly her ex-husband."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and introduced: "Chai Yongshu directly participated in the case; it's basically been characterized."

"Influenced by him, Liu Lan has problems in the handling of evidence."

He looked at Cheng Kaiyuan and said: "The supervision side is also waiting for the handling result of the case, and then they will give further handling."

"Oh, it's good that it didn't involve others."

Cheng Kaiyuan nodded pointedly, really seeming to care about the factory and the people involved in this case.

He naturally understood the meaning of Li Xuewu's words; it was nothing more than that this case couldn't involve others and could only stop at her ex-husband leading to her.

And it had to wait for the investigation and handling results of the case to come out before the factory's discipline inspection could carry out an investigation and further handling.

You think about it, Liu Lan is only what kind of character; this case involves many people, so what number does she count as?

Maybe the discipline inspection won't even manage her and will hand her over directly to the branch bureau to handle.

According to the normal handling method, it should be detention or warning, and then a fine.

This is not enough for the Rolling Mill to make a decision to fire her.

And then the factory discipline inspection will carry out an investigation into the relationship between her and Shi Ruoweng, which is another matter.

How to handle it, isn't it just a word from Li Xuewu, or look at what attitude Li Huai De has.

You ask why such a small matter has to ask Li Huai De; that has to be thought about what kind of relationship Liu Lan had with Li Huai De before.

Li Huai De now has a new love, forgot the old love, and is going to be annoyed to death by Liu Lan.

But when Liu Lan encounters such a life-threatening problem, does he dare not care?

Cheng Kaiyuan's question also meant this, not without threat and warning.

Li Huai De taking care of Liu Lan means he has to face leaving a small tail.

If he dares not to take care of Liu Lan, then with Liu Lan's personality, she dares to say anything.

Cheng Kaiyuan doesn't care about helping Liu Lan make things big; anyway, Li Huai De can settle it in the end, it only hurts Old Li's authority.

Recently, Old Li got benefits from that case, jumping up and down to expand influence, further determining the development direction of the Rolling Mill's group-based work.

Cheng Kaiyuan doesn't think he is doing this selflessly, all for the good of the Rolling Mill.

If it were really for the good of the Rolling Mill, why bother so much; everyone has relationships, let's work hard together.

Simply put, he is covering the opportunity to divide the cake himself and not giving others a chance.

Once the early paving is completed, it will be impossible for Cheng Kaiyuan to cut in.

Li Xuewu knows what he means, but can only clearly tell him that if he wants to use this matter to force Li Huai De to compromise on the paving work of the group-based goal, he is really thinking foolishly.

Just one Liu Lan, and still thinking about binding Li Huai De?

Not to mention others, why doesn't he ask if Liu Lan is willing.

Li Huai De won't fall, she will always have rice to eat. ===== CHAPTER 1019 =====
