Chapter 1050: Not a Joke

~35 min read 6,890 words

The meal with Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong didn't last too late, and the two chatted a lot.

Regarding the procurement of chemical fertilizer and materials, Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong didn't agree to everything in one breath.

Don't promise others things you can't do.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong didn't dare guarantee he could procure all key equipment and devices, especially those related to hospitals; this wasn't in his business scope.

However, he gave Li Xuewu a firm word that he would discuss it with his father and mother after returning to see if there were suitable channels.

The Steel Mill's money didn't come from a strong wind; every cent had to be spent carefully.

How much money does a small hardware component earn? The deposits in the Eastern Era Bank are mostly pre-deposited security deposits.

If the subsequent export volume of business doesn't keep up and the security deposits are spent, the Steel Mill will have no ability to import equipment and technology.

Playing the "empty-handed white wolf" game can only be done once; if you play it too much, you'll be broken yourself.

Even under the current international situation, credibility is the most important attribute of trade.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong's stay in the country for so long was mainly to deal with trade with Art.

This kid really dared to play, and he was also afraid that the situation in the mainland would have reversals, so taking advantage of this opportunity, he couldn't wait to empty the major arms warehouses with Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong.

This was, of course, impossible. The current situation was also quite tense, and weapons and ammunition were also being stockpiled.

However, as a small businessman, even if his import and export trade business was good, how could he play against the mainland?

Opening a few warehouses at will could empty his capital, and he still had to prepare enough funds to deal with the Steel Mill's 66-6 type rifle delivery.

Why was he eyeing the 66-6 type rifle?

Because this thing had a huge profit. Not to mention its manufacturing cost and craftsmanship, just talking about the popularity of this thing, it didn't look like something valuable.

If you really relied on it to make money, you had to be like this now, relying on the Steel Mill's transportation channels and taking container shipping.

Selling tons and tons, selling by volume is how you make money, just like purchasing hardware products.

But the 66-6 type is different. This thing is sold entirely in the form of single sets, one price for one gun; today this price, tomorrow that price.

Anyway, there was fighting near their hometown; if you have this kind of individual sharp weapon, I must have it too.

Just a few hundred rifles, they were snatched up.

Now Art had become familiar with Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong and had run to special warehouses with him, seeing many good things.

The production environment of the mainland's military industry was actually okay, but it also relied on the funding allocation from above, and development was all waiting.

Now Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong pulled the "big head" and walked around, but he didn't sprinkle less money.

Hand grenades, mortars, landmines, flamethrowers, etc., large-scale procurement of light weapons; Art had almost forgotten he was a hardware trader.

Of course, light weapons are also hardware components, just more professional and violent.

Most of the business travel groups of foreign businessmen had left; only Art and the French businesswoman Chantal remained at the International Hotel.

The French businesswoman Chantal was discussing some projects with people from their foreign affairs department; the Steel Mill couldn't manage these, nor did it have the responsibility to manage them.

Only Art, this kid had an order from the Steel Mill, and his appearance and dress were special. He had been wandering around a lot recently, and many people knew him.

During dinner, Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong mentioned that this grandson wasn't a good person either, saying that he was a hardware merchant, but it was very likely he had just switched to being an arms dealer.

Coming to the mainland to purchase hardware products in a serious manner was actually aimed at cheap military weapons.

The potential reason Art proposed to purchase the 66-6 type rifle was very likely that he had heard of Li Xuewu's identity and knew this was a breakthrough point.

Under the premise that purchasing the 66-6 type wouldn't lose money, he used this as a stepping stone.

And after the Steel Mill accepted his procurement agreement, he climbed up the pole, and through Li Xuewu, got to know Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong, who had more ability and convenience.

Through Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong, he came into contact with the real military industry and saw the grand scene of light weapons piled up like mountains.

The Foreign Affairs Department and the Investigation Department had both turned over his old background and clearly told him that if he continued to cooperate like this, some of his activities would be restricted.

Simply put, some problems that needed confidentiality would be reflected in him.

Business could be done, he could sell wherever he wanted, but he was absolutely not allowed to cause trouble for the mainland, let alone leak any confidentiality problems.

Art was also dazzled by the treasure mountain, agreeing fully that he would follow Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong's requirements, as long as he could transport these "hardware" he purchased back.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong naturally agreed, coordinated cargo ships, and loaded containers one after another. Whatever Art wanted, he coordinated.

The only condition was that his people had to follow Art until this batch of goods was dispersed.

That is to say, if Art wanted to do this trade, he had to accept the condition of being monitored.

With millions or tens of millions of US dollars in profit in front of him, would Art care about these? Not to mention monitoring, even following him home would be fine.

He was now full of ambition, just waiting to return to his hometown to sell the goods and hold a party.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong was also very happy. This time back was too profitable, and the relationships with various units warmed up rapidly.

Everyone knew he was leading a silly dog, wanting whatever he saw, and throwing money wherever he saw a warehouse.

He had been back for a month, and Li Xuewu hadn't touched his shadow, not even seeing him at night, because he was busy.

In Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong's words, the people waiting to treat him to dinner were lined up to Dongzhimen.

Do you think there were no human favors of eating and drinking at this time?

Stop joking. People in units were eating and drinking well, grabbing this silly toad of a foreign businessman and squeezing him to death, wishing they could squeeze out powder.

They couldn't bear to see their brothers suffer, but were they willing to stand on the side and watch their brothers drive a Land Rover?

So, Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong had been eating quite well during this period, no wonder he first stated at Li Xuewu's place that he didn't want to eat anything good, he was sick of it.

How many people were waiting in line to see him, one asking if he wanted a rocket launcher, another asking if he wanted to buy directional mines, and others shouting that light machine guns were cheap, send bullets!

Art had seen the enthusiasm and hospitality of the people of the country. Sometimes he didn't even go to the warehouse, just looked at the samples of the goods, and paid the money.

He had been to so many units, seen so many warehouses and samples, and was too familiar with the mainland's way of working.

One is one, two is two. If you say one hundred rifles, there will absolutely not be more, and absolutely not be less.

All the goods were of particularly good quality. He didn't believe in evil and opened many boxes in the warehouse, and finally, he and his assistant were as tired as dogs.

Seeing Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong, he asked why, why the quality control of the mainland's weapons was so good.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong told him that it was because the people who produced these rifles knew that their labor results would be sent to the hands of their children.

Cheating the organization is equal to cheating oneself; no one would have that kind of bad heart to deliberately manufacture defective products.

If you say the overall quality of weapons at this time isn't good enough, there's no way.

This simply cannot be controlled by human effort alone; it depends entirely on the progressive development of comprehensive technology and strength.

The Steel Mill's sniper rifle could be imitated and produced so quickly, it had to be attributed to the professionalism of the Light Weapons Institute and the Steel Mill's foundation in machinery and steel business.

Not to mention imitating sniper rifles, even imitating tanks wouldn't be a problem for the Steel Mill.

Simply put, there's no need to study the tracks; the Steel Mill is producing them now.

Li Xuewu also listened to Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong finish bragging, and then reminded him that the mainland's situation was unstable, and he was already arrogant enough, so he should leave as soon as he could.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong also confirmed this point, knowing he had gained enough, it was time to go back and do serious business.

That's why he appeared at Li Xuewu's place, just to say goodbye to him.

Only one pot of wine was drunk at the dinner table, but a basket of words was spoken, mainly reporting the development of his career in Hong Kong.

With the support of the Wufeng Bank where his mother was, and the care of the newspaper where his father was, although the Eastern Era Bank was a reorganization of a bankrupt bank and money shop, its strength recovered quickly and developed rapidly.

Its businesses such as Prince Port, shipping, real estate, commerce, and entertainment expanded and developed rapidly in the distorted prosperity of Hong Kong.

Especially the banking business; just looking at the name and development strength, one knew that Eastern Era had the ability to resist risks, so even if the business outlets weren't more than other banks, the ability to absorb deposits was gradually climbing.

Banks mainly engaged in commercial business didn't pay too much attention to savings business, just developing step by step.

But unintentionally planting willows, willows grow; precisely because Eastern Era Bank was successful in commercial operations and one holding company and investment company after another made big money, depositors trusted it even more.

Just think, how could a bank that is constantly profitable go bankrupt? As long as there is real estate to support it, the bank won't go bankrupt.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong said that the real estate business in Hong Kong had a trend of warming up and rebounding. Lou Xiaoe was prepared to fight for it. All the buildings under the Modern Professional Real Estate Company were built but not sold, rented but not sold.

And this situation was under the premise that Modern Real Estate was constantly acquiring land and houses, and it frequently participated in Hong Kong's land auctions, taking land many times.

According to Lou Xiaoe's estimation, building construction needs a cycle, commercial construction and revitalization also need time, and the creation of high-quality residential plots needs quality space even more.

So two years is a very good buffer period. During this time, real estate and construction business can be managed well.

As for the pressure brought by real estate investment and the business efficiency that has not had a return for a long time, under the premise of continuously rising house prices, it is not a problem.

If house prices double, it means real estate is working for the buyer.

Banks are not afraid of rising house prices, and even less afraid of buyers making money, but the first step must be taken steadily.

Now the Hong Kong property market has just warmed up, and it is not known what specific situation will happen.

Especially related to the situation, if there is any problem, the blow to this industry will be too serious.

Hong Kong is very big, and Hong Kong is also very small—big enough for millionaires to be in groups, and small enough to be unable to withstand even a small industry crisis.

In the 1980s, the Hong Kong taxi driver murder and dismemberment case almost ruined the taxi industry.

In Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong's words, in this place, if you fart at one end, the other end can smell it.

Saying it is big is because it includes many enterprises and companies, and has more scientific and technological and financial exchange and development closely connected with the world.

The future of Hong Kong is broad, and development is infinite; this is the true meaning of big.

Li Xuewu didn't express an opinion on his narration, nor did he express support or denial for Lou Jie.

Eastern Era Bank was operated and managed by Lou Jie, whether it was the real estate company or Prince Port, these were all within her business and management scope.

Li Xuewu was in the mainland; even if he knew more reports and content from secret telegrams, he couldn't be more knowledgeable about the business than Lou Jie who was in Hong Kong.

Even people like Li Huai knew that professional matters should be handed over to professional people, so how could he play micro-manipulation and command?

Even the think tank on the mountain only had the goal of collecting, organizing, summarizing, and proposing materials.

The business in Hong Kong was all independently completed and operated by Lou Jie with the support of the think tank.

The only support Li Xuewu could give her was trust.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong admired Li Xuewu's point of not doubting the people he used, and even jokingly asked him what he would do if Lou Xiaoe got married and had children in Hong Kong.

Even in front of Yu Li, he didn't avoid it and asked this question directly.

He knew very well the relationship between Lou Xiaoe and Li Xuewu. To hand over such a large enterprise to a young woman to manage, how could he believe there was nothing going on?

Li Xuewu and Lou Xiaoe didn't have any close relatives, nor did they have any life-and-death ties.

To let Lou Xiaoe manage such a large family business without asking or saying anything, only looking at data and reports, and not even having anyone check the accounts—

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong thought that Lou Xiaoe was young and alone, without anyone to share family affection around her.

If this woman was lonely, she would be bored; if she was bored, she would have fun.

Li Xuewu didn't feel offended when he heard this question. After all, the relationship between him and Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong was there, and no one cared about chatting nonsense at the dinner table.

Yu Li was very concerned about how he would answer, looking at him with bright eyes.

After Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong's teasing, Li Xuewu told the truth, telling him that he wouldn't care.

Even if Lou Xiaoe decided to get married, have children, and start a family in Hong Kong, that was her choice.

Li Xuewu wouldn't have any obstruction or threat, let alone require the other party to remain single or withdraw from management due to safety and interest relationships.

Forcing others to do things is equivalent to pushing oneself to the opposite side.

No one is willing to do things they don't like, regardless of right or wrong, regardless of interests.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong expressed doubt about his words; he didn't believe Li Xuewu would think so.

But Li Xuewu really told him that he wouldn't tell Lou Xiaoe to hurry up and find someone to marry, nor would he ask about her feelings, or tease or provoke the other party.

Separated by two places, not knowing when they would meet again, both in the rising period of their careers, chatting about nonsense like "you are cold-blooded, ruthless, and unreasonable" is an extremely irresponsible behavior for life.

You say Lou Xiaoe finds a man to marry; isn't that a very normal thing? Li Xuewu can't give it, so he doesn't allow others to strive for it?

Li Xuewu isn't a tyrant; does he have to be together for a lifetime just because he's with someone?

A lifetime is long; don't tell anyone about a lifetime.

Saying things like that at sixteen or seventeen is normal; after all, the concept of love hasn't matured.

But he is 21 years old, an adult; he has seen through and understood the feelings between people long ago.

His words were for chatting nonsense with Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong, and also for Yu Li on the side to hear.

How is this life not lived for oneself? As long as one is worthy of the parents who raised them, worthy of the children they are responsible for, and even more worthy of those who love them, it's not easy enough.

Just give each other a way to live, treat each other well, and treat yourself well.

Li Xuewu told Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong directly that he had thought about it since he planned to send Lou Xiaoe out to manage this business.

If one day Lou Xiaoe told him she was getting married, he would give half of the business in Hong Kong to the other party as a dowry, no matter how much it was.

The other half would be left to the brothers who fought together, not failing the Buddha, not failing the beloved.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong drank a glass of wine after listening and gave him a thumbs up.

And Yu Li, who was listening on the side, was silent, thinking about something.

It might be an attitude toward life, or it might be a plan for her own future.

It might even be whether Li Xuewu's words to Lou Xiaoe meant that she should find a man to marry as soon as possible.

Li Xuewu had fewer times to come out after having children, and even didn't come on weekends.

Unless they met at the Sihe Academy, otherwise she wouldn't see him once a week.

Meeting is not easy, let alone anything else. If a woman has no children in this life, what kind of situation will she be in when she gets old?

She wasn't surprised by what Li Xuewu said to Lou Xiaoe; he was such a person.

Actually, thinking about it, it's normal. The investment in Hong Kong was Lou family's money, and Lou Xiaoe built the country.

Giving half to others is a matter of course; keeping half for himself is because he also invested money.

There is nothing in this world worth worrying about, and there are no people worth worrying about. Li Xuewu has never owed anyone, nor has he promised anything.

Having so many ties with Lou Xiaoe and giving so much is entirely because the relationship between the two is more complicated and there are more entanglements.

Perhaps Li Xuewu promised the other party something, perhaps Li Xuewu promised the other party some promise for the future; anyway, Yu Li hadn't heard it.

Just staying by his side, watching him walk up step by step, walking higher and higher, walking further and further.

If you say Yu Li panicked, or lost confidence, it's not; she was just confused.

Because as long as she doubted herself, she looked up, and no matter how high or far Li Xuewu walked, she could see the other's face clearly.

Whether it's a smile, seriousness, or mischief, it's all clearly presented before her eyes.

The identities of the two might be getting further and further apart, the gap getting bigger and bigger, and even the time spent together is minimal.

But as long as she wants, she can feel Li Xuewu's heartbeat, can hear his breathing, can know where he is, and whether he is looking at her.

This feeling is even more mysterious than flying a kite. Only those who have experienced the bitterness of lovesickness and the shared joys and sorrows can understand this kind of emotion that transcends material things.

Li Xuewu has never wronged her in material life. The problem of having no children is actually a kind of responsibility, a kind of not owing.

Yu Li also thought that if there really were children, it might be the biggest threat to herself and the biggest ordeal in her life.

Therefore, when Li Xuewu and Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong talked about other topics, she had already sorted out her mood and even picked up her wine glass to drink with them.

If you ask Yu Li how she decided, she actually hadn't thought it through.

But she had thought clearly about her attitude toward future life: take it one step at a time.

When she likes Li Xuewu, she will be together; if she doesn't like it, or if she says she is too tired of liking it and wants to get married and have children, then find a suitable one to marry.

Achieve each other, support each other.

"Good guy! Such a wide courtyard?" Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong didn't drink much and insisted on coming to the backyard to look around.

Yu Li led them to the back, introducing and reporting the progress of the project to Li Xuewu.

Recently, not only could Yu Li not see Li Xuewu, but even Dou Yaozu couldn't see him.

Things on the project were dealt with by Lang Zhennan. Finding Li Xuewu didn't have anything to do, and he didn't dare to disturb his time.

"Actually, it's basically finished overall, just missing the final edges and corners."

Yu Li pointed to the courtyard and introduced: "The project's meaning is that all the green plants and landscaping need to be tidied up again; some of the old roots from before are no longer working."

"Also, for the backyard of the main house, I discussed with the project that it should be left out, only paved with floor tiles, and nothing else, to make it more spacious."

"Spacious enough!"

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong took over the conversation: "I think it's big, and it looks bright."

"It's mainly that the building has been re-planned and adjusted, updated and rebuilt on the original basis."

Yu Li said: "Except for some special house facilities that weren't moved, basically everything was dismantled and rebuilt."

She turned back and explained to Li Xuewu: "The foundation of the front yard was very good. I don't know why, but the backyard wasn't, so everything was rebuilt."

"Hmm, do whatever is convenient."

Li Xuewu surveyed the large mansion under the lights; the style had already appeared.

"What was this used for? I remember it was the place where Mr. Mai lived, right?"

"Mr. Mai moved to the front yard to live. This place was being renovated, not convenient."

Yu Li took them to the small courtyard door in the backyard, pushed open the gate, and it was a single-entry courtyard.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong walked around inside, looked carefully, and then sighed and shook his head: "Magnificent, using this small courtyard for entertainment, really has ideas."

"This courtyard, except for the guesthouse, has no other place to rest; everything has been renovated."

Yu Li took them to see the furnishings and decoration in the house. Some furniture was still concentrated, and the decoration wasn't completely finished.

It might take a month to clean up, clear the construction residue, and then rearrange the furniture and ornaments.

It's actually the same as the restaurant in front. Everything in the courtyard, except for the things in the art gallery, is fake.

It's inevitable that bumps will occur in daily life. He would be heartbroken if any piece broke.

Even if what's placed here isn't a treasure.

Walking back out of the small courtyard, it was the tennis court and the guesthouse lobby.

The entire guesthouse was a three-story terraced building rebuilt on the basis of the rear building.

The style was still imitating the ancient and the old. Except for the existing renovation traces, basically, the color of the reconstruction couldn't be seen.

After all, it's professional. Dou Yaozu's old team itself was the one that maintained the royal gardens.

The architectural style here is just like the imperial palace courtyard creation; they have extreme experience in doing this.

The lobby is a piece connected to the outside, with three steps. Going up is the marble-paved ground, rock brick-built walls, Qing-style doors and windows, and an antique style.

Li Xuewu hadn't entered the door yet, just stood outside and looked, and already had a sense of being in ancient times.

If it weren't for Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong standing on the side saying awesome things, he would have thought he had traveled through time.

Isn't this the level of He Zhongtang's mansion? Wives and concubines in groups, singing and dancing.

"Yo, Li Ge, why are you here?"

Just as they were looking, the door of the guesthouse suddenly opened, and Ou Xin was combing her hair by her ears and walked out with Pei Pei.

"Are you here to stay, or to entertain friends?"

They saw Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong, looked a bit strange, and didn't speak deeply.

Especially the person who was winking at Li Ge, his eyes kept looking at them.

Li Xuewu waved his hand and smiled: "Came to eat with a friend, and by the way, came to see you."

"I don't believe it—!"

Pei Pei covered her mouth and smiled: "You eating is true, but seeing us must be a coincidence!"

"It's true, isn't this seeing you now?" Li Xuewu smiled and pointed to the guesthouse and asked: "How is it, quite good, right? Working here?"

"Just tidying up, basically finished."

Pei Pei smiled and greeted Yu Li, then stood by her side and introduced: "The beds, wardrobes, tables, and chairs were installed this morning, and we tidied up the bedding and such together in the afternoon."

"Hmm, worked hard, is there enough manpower?"

Li Xuewu didn't intend to go in. Tonight was just a meal, and he came out for a stroll.

It was only past nine o'clock. After sending Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong home in a while, he would go home too.

"Nothing else, just tidying up the hygiene. There's still time, and the manpower is about enough."

Pei Pei took over the conversation: "If we're really short of people, just call the security section or other coaches to help. Just tidying up such a large courtyard together."

"That's good, it's a place to work, and it's also your home."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "As long as you are willing to work here, you can work as long as you want in the future. I actually hope you stay here forever."

"That's what you said, we'll take it seriously." Pei Pei smiled and said: "It's still you whose words are good. Sister Yu even persuaded us to find a proper job."

"I'm doing it for your own good!"

Yu Li smiled and poked Pei Pei who was holding her arm: "Really planning to be a waitress for a lifetime? With such a good background, shouldn't you strive for a good future?"

"I don't agree with this."

Li Xuewu joked: "This is a proper unit of ours. How is this work not proper?"

"Stop talking, I never said that."

Yu Li glared: "They all said it themselves. I work here, how could I say my own work isn't proper?"

"Anyway, we've discussed it, we're not going anywhere, we're staying here."

Ou Xin stood on Li Xuewu's side and said: "There are only a few of us good sisters left, and we can't play with people outside. The jobs they find aren't as good as this, and they are far from home."

"My dad also said, as long as you can support yourself, you can do anything!"

"Hmm, your dad is right."

Li Xuewu smiled and cheered her on: "All of you stay here, otherwise the backbone strength I cultivated with all my heart would be wasted."

"Hahaha—!"

Under the moonlight, the red lanterns and white lights made the large mansion warm and brilliant.

Ou Xin actually wanted to say a few more words to him, but who made it inconvenient today with outsiders present.

Deciding to stay at the club was the result of communication with their families.

After all, they had worked for such a long time, and they were familiar with the work business and processes.

This place really cultivated them as backbones, and they also knew that there would be good development here in the future.

Just looking at this courtyard in the city, with no ordinary people coming in and out, even if they wanted to find other jobs in the future, they would have rich connections.

They, a few good sisters, were all objects of worry for their families. If they really wanted to arrange it, they could.

It's just that they all grew up with hearts that love to play, and they didn't want to grow any thoughts or brains. If they were really sent to work in a unit, they might be cannon fodder.

They were already big girls. Working here for a few years to find a partner, and the work is convenient and easy, and it's not indecent to say it out.

Now they are waitresses, but the club will officially open soon, and they will have to expand and recruit people, and they will be the management.

Depending on their families, even if they could arrange it, it wouldn't be as safe and comfortable as here.

At least when the trouble was at its worst, no one dared to approach here.

Those who know that the security head here is Zhao Lao Si, the one who used a stick to open people's brains in the beginning.

Those who don't know, just looking at the security's gun-carrying and professional attitude, can't figure out what kind of unit this is.

It's different from boys. Their families don't ask them for any glory to honor their ancestors, just wanting them to live safely and well, which is a blessing.

Especially being able to stay in the city to live, from this year on, some unemployed youth have actually started to choose their own jobs.

Choosing their own jobs sounds good, but actually, it's waiting until they can't wait anymore.

There aren't so many positions available for distribution and arrangement. Families with money, or families with few children and conditions, like Zhou Xiaobai's family.

Such people can stay at home and play every day, just waiting for when there is work.

Or those whose parents have both passed away, leaving only children at home, with no one to manage them, living like wild children.

As long as there are families living together, where would they let big boys and big girls lie at home and eat for free?

The work of pasting matchboxes is now something you have to grab to do; that's a chore that only difficult families can receive.

Jia Zhangshi used to be able to receive it, but now she can't, because their Qin Huairu is a cadre, so they don't count as a difficult family anymore.

Yan Jiefang can receive it, even though his dad is a teacher, but his leg is lame, so he counts as a disabled person.

For others, such as transport teams, loading teams, brick factories, labor teams, construction teams, as long as it's a place where they can make money, these unemployed youth have started to find work.

It's not that there's nothing to eat, it's just that they are hungry, and the family doesn't raise them anymore.

There are really bastards who don't obey the family, feel they have grown up, their wings are hard, and the situation outside is chaotic, so they run out of the house and wander around the streets with some little brothers.

Such people are basically either beaten at home or beaten in society, and then arranged by the family to be sent to the countryside to suffer and exercise, and those who cause trouble naturally go to the detention center to exercise.

However, at this time, the control over them basically depends on the parents' self-consciousness. Once the belt is pulled out, they all become honest. Sending them to the countryside to suffer a little, everything is sweet.

The countryside can also obtain some labor and information dissemination channels, and then introduce some development opportunities from the city.

This form of spontaneously choosing to go to soil that is more suitable for survival is also the reason why large-scale unemployed youth ran to the countryside in groups later.

When the number of people increased, it naturally gave the above some experience in thinking about and dealing with heavy personnel.

Ou Xin said herself that her mother wanted to send her to her second aunt's house in the countryside, which was in the countryside of Tianjin, not far away, and it was convenient to come back.

She also knew that her parents were just scaring her. If she really went to her second aunt's house, would they treat her badly?

Knowing that her parents were working in Beijing, they would be too late to flatter her.

She knew it was safer there, but she also knew that going to the countryside was equivalent to self-isolating from the city.

First of all, she was already going to earn a salary here, and even if she didn't have a salary and was just wandering around, she wouldn't go to the countryside.

Adding trouble to others, adding blockage to herself.

So after talking with her family, she called Pei Pei and others to sit together and talk.

The club is about to open, and the opportunities and future are all on the surface.

Yu Li thought that with their good background, finding a job was the most suitable, at least it was glorious to say it out, better than being a waitress.

They talked about the attitude of their families and the work that could be arranged compared to here from a practical point of view.

If they go home to find work, everyone will basically only be able to meet on holidays.

They are all young people, and they cherish the friendship between sisters very much, even if they know that everyone will go their separate ways more than ten years later.

But at this time, being able to choose to find the same job and gather together when the external environment is like a cold winter is also rare.

They also said that except for Pei Pei who has a heart, going out to work won't be bullied or used as a gun, others don't seem to have that ability.

Even if they could learn it, they wouldn't want to bump into it and be covered in wounds.

With the comfort here, why go out and suffer that crime?

The final result of the discussion was that everyone stayed.

After the decision was made, before they could tell Yu Li, they met Li Xuewu.

Ou Xin and Pei Pei said it in front of Yu Li, which was for Yu Li to hear, and also for Li Xuewu to hear.

Even if they stay at the club, they don't want to be waitresses for a lifetime.

Everyone wants to live well and work well. Isn't the premise of life work?

Getting Li Xuewu's promise and attitude today, the big stone of their life choice has finally landed.

Laughing and walking out with Li Xuewu and the others, it was a look of sending them away.

Li Xuewu also rarely came here and didn't have time to chat with them. Tonight, he also learned some situations from the two that Yu Li hadn't said.

For example, how they would arrange and distribute the management tasks of the functional areas in the future.

Except for Zhao Lao Si who set the position of security section chief for himself early on, everyone else was still temporarily responsible for a piece of business.

But I heard that Luo Yun of the service department had business arrangements, and recently Zhou Xiaobai had been watching the service department alone, while Luo Yun often came here to deliver goods and learned business from Shen Guodong.

They came to the club one after another, and the time difference wasn't much.

For example, how the few of them will arrange and allocate the management tasks for the functional areas next.

They, who were older, came earlier, and had more connections, hadn't settled down yet.

Luo Yun could get the business errand; basically, one could guess why.

Her partner Zuo Jie was running the assistance fund work with a leader, and was also busy organizing the Youth Society, looking like he was being valued.

Zhou Xiaobai goes without saying; even if she is responsible for the service department now, she might not necessarily do this errand in the future.

People have family background, have background; maybe they are just mixing time here, mixing youth.

She is the kind of person Yu Li said; once time is up and opportunity comes, the family will take her away.

But everyone has their own fate, and Ou Xin and others feel that their fate might be in this courtyard.

When sending Li Xuewu to the car, Ou Xin asked when he would come again.

It made it seem like Li Xuewu hadn't been back for many years.

He promised to come back on the weekend and eat together then, which made the few laugh.

When going out of the gate, Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong teased him, saying that this place was almost becoming his harem, full of beautiful big girls, thinking about it day and night.

Li Xuewu pointed out to him who the members here were, and the more he said, the more confused Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong became.

This place didn't become a nest for hatching chicks.

Do you think cadres in powerful departments have been working in powerful departments for a lifetime?

How is that possible!

Look at Wang Xiaoqin and Li Xuewu; aren't they out now!

During this period, the work of many members has been adjusted, some across departments within the system, some across systems, and some across industries and regions.

Early on, they were all classmates in a training class, but now they are in all walks of life, all kinds of things. To say that this is a club for powerful departments is already inconsistent with the facts.

Why did this situation appear?

It's very simple. Many cadres were adjusted some time ago, including those within the powerful system.

And especially within the powerful system, the situation wasn't very good. When Li Xuewu threw the opportunities he created to them, many people jumped out actively.

Going to confidentiality, going to the railway, going to the local area, going to finance and taxation, etc., they were all cadres above the deputy division level, so it didn't matter where they went.

As long as they weren't particularly picky about business and were associated with powerful business, they could adapt.

That personnel storm in the East City swept out many good radish pits. They knew early, laid out early, and were very united, so they didn't get less benefits.

Otherwise, why would the club be run better and better, more and more united, because they got benefits, and everyone knew that only by being united at this time could they have good things to eat.

Even if something happened, there would be care and arrangement here. Those who were inconvenient to take care of their children had always had people come forward to coordinate and help.

It was also the reason why they were willing to donate money and things to the foundation.

Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong listened to Li Xuewu's simple introduction and had already seen that this place wasn't simple.

After that, there were no more jokes, just telling the next arrangements.

Their family's focus would be in Hong Kong in the future, but they would leave Han Yating in the country, including the children.

Saying it was leaving a hostage for Li Xuewu, this sounded like a joke, but it wasn't a joke.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to him. Is this a hostage?

Isn't this just entrusting the wife and children?

The meaning behind Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong's words was very clear; it would definitely be inconvenient to come back later.

Something was about to happen. ===== CHAPTER 1051 =====

Li Xuewu didn't pay him any mind. Is this a hostage situation?

Isn't this just entrusting one's wife and children to someone else?

The implication behind Comrade Comrade Ji Weidong's words is very clear; it will inevitably be inconvenient to come back later.

Something is about to happen.
