Chapter 1052: God and the God of Wealth

"Who let you come to my house!"

As soon as Li Shu entered the door, she was questioned by her devilish little aunt, who poked her with a small finger to make things difficult for her.

She wasn't afraid of the other party at this moment; relying on her father being there, she stiffened her little neck and said, "This is Grandma's house—"

"This is my house!"

Li Xue glared at her to intimidate her, saying, "If you dare to come, I'll deal with you once your father leaves."

Li Shu looked back at her father, immediately finding her backbone, and turned her head to say to her little aunt, "Then I'll deal with you when my father comes to pick me up!"

"Hahaha—!"

Zhao Yafang and Ji Yuxiu, who were watching the fun, laughed out loud, while Liu Yin patted her daughter to scare her, saying, "Stop teasing, go to work already!"

"Work, pfft—!"

Li Shu was very bold now; with her father there, Grandma helping, and Great-Grandma on the kang, she even dared to shout at her little aunt.

"Oh my! Are you talking to me~"

Li Xue leaned in to intimidate her, saying, "Believe it or not, I'll pinch you until you cry right now, making you scream for Grandma in pain!"

"Hee hee! I won't cry!"

Li Shu let her father help her take off her outer cotton-padded jacket, and like a playful little calf, she laughed and ran onto the kang.

Great-Grandma also smiled as she circled her in her arms and kissed her, teasing, "Is the little aunt scary?"

"Scary—giggle giggle"

Li Shu shrank into Great-Grandma's arms, and seeing her little aunt about to get on the kang to deal with her, she giggled in fright.

"Xiao Ning and her daughter are doing quite well, right?"

Liu Yin had also just cleared the table; the breakfast bowls and chopsticks were still in the pot, unwashed.

She wiped her hands and looked at her son, saying, "I've been wanting to go over and see them with your grandma, but I didn't dare to go because they say the virus is tricky right now."

"They're doing quite well, chubby and able to eat and sleep."

Li Xuewu looked at his daughter, who was giggling at his little sister's teasing, and smiled as he introduced to his mother, "Xiao Ning is at work today, and Qin Jingru is taking care of things at home."

"Oh—is that so? She's already back to work?"

Liu Yin hadn't asked about this during her previous visits, thinking the second daughter-in-law would be like the eldest daughter-in-law and be able to rest for a while longer.

"Then what about breastfeeding the child? Does she have to run back and forth? That's troublesome enough."

"It can only be like this for now. It'll be better when she's a bit older and can have formula."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "She's already talked it over with her unit; she'll find time to come home to feed the child during clinic hours, and Qin Jingru will bring the child over during surgery hours. It's tiring for now, but there's no other way."

"This really is—oh my~"

Liu Yin felt sorry for her grandson and her daughter-in-law, so she sat by the edge of the kang and asked worriedly, "Is Qin Jingru doing okay taking care of the child? Do you need me to go over and help?"

"It's fine, there's not much work at home, she can handle it. The child is still small and just knows how to sleep."

Li Xuewu comforted her, "You have a lot on your plate here too; if you go there, you'll worry about this side. Don't go back and forth, rest assured."

"Xuewu, it's fine for Mom to go over."

Eldest daughter-in-law Zhao Yafang took the initiative to speak, "There's nothing much here at home, and I'm not in a hurry to go to work. Three meals a day is all there is to it."

She looked at her mother-in-law's worried expression and said, "Why don't you let Mom go over and see? She's always thinking about them and has it on her mind."

"I was just thinking that things are busy at home."

Li Xuewu sat next to his mother and held her hand, saying, "It's not that I wasn't thinking of you, but Eldest Sister-in-law also just finished having her child and needs someone to take care of her."

"It's fine, I'm not in a hurry here."

Zhao Yafang didn't make things difficult for her mother-in-law and took over the conversation, "Great-Grandma can just stay at home with me. Isn't it easy to make meals for us few women?"

"Besides, even if we can't cook, we won't starve. It's even more convenient to go to the front courtyard and eat."

"I think so too, Second Brother, let Mom go."

Li Xue advised, "She hasn't been able to sleep well these past few nights, always muttering about you all."

She stood beside her mother, draped her arm around her mother's shoulder, and said, "Sister-in-law hasn't received any news yet. We'll talk when there is news. Third Sister-in-law and I just need two meals; eating with the Daozuofang is fine."

"Mom, then that will be tiring for you."

Li Xuewu could see that his mother was truly concerned about his side; as soon as she entered the room, she looked at him with longing eyes, and everything she asked about and muttered about was him.

Therefore, since his sister-in-law and little sister had advised it, and Great-Grandma had agreed, he took the initiative to ask his mother for help.

Liu Yin was naturally willing. Isn't that how a mother-in-law is? Thinking about this one, thinking about that one, and still having to be careful not to annoy her son.

Someone as sensible as Li Xuewu, who knows how to care for the elderly's emotions, can make people feel at ease. There are those who are not sensible and will annoy their mother with a single retort.

Especially when there's a daughter-in-law who is fussy, dislikes the elderly for being unhygienic, dislikes the elderly's living habits, or simply doesn't trust the elderly to raise the child.

She only thinks about disliking her mother-in-law, but brings her own mother to the house to take care of things.

If the in-laws are easy to talk to, it's fine; they understand each other, all for the sake of the children.

You put in the effort, I put in the money, all for the next generation.

There are those who are calculating; the mother from the maternal side comes to the house and focuses on helping her daughter scheme, picking faults with the in-laws in everything, saying this and saying that.

In the end, listening to her mother too much, the relationship between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law becomes increasingly rigid, finally ending in a mess.

When the child is a little older, the maternal mother wipes her hands and goes home. She didn't take her daughter away, and certainly didn't take her grandson away, because they aren't people from her family.

Leaving a mess behind, she goes home and still complains that the in-laws are bad, acting against her daughter in everything, and that the son-in-law is bad too, not saying anything about managing his mother.

You tell me, as a man, how should this matter be handled?

It's all family business; who can he say is right or wrong?

The daughter-in-law has worked hard, giving birth to a big, fat boy. The mother has worked even harder, not only giving birth to him and raising him, but also having to take care of his next generation.

Facing the mother-in-law's groundless accusations and the daughter-in-law's cold eyes and mockery, he can't just scold his mother and drive her home, can he?

Putting one's own man in such a difficult position, even if the husband and wife had deep feelings before marriage, they would be discounted by now.

From a man's perspective, if the daughter-in-law has this attitude toward his mother, it's a lack of wifely virtue.

Having no opinion in handling relationships, listening to one side and believing it, is a lack of wifely demeanor.

Giving her man cold mockery, complaining that he favors his mother-in-law, is a lack of wifely speech.

Even if you gave birth to a son, even if you have a job and provide support for this family, if you lose three of the four virtues, do you think the man will be satisfied with you?

Conversely, if your man listens to your words and yells and curses at his mother, being unfilial, do you think your child will treat you well in the future?

Do you dare to guarantee that your child won't grow up crooked?

Do you dare to guarantee that your child won't marry a daughter-in-law like you?

It's not to say that all mothers-in-law in the world care for and love their daughters-in-law; there is nothing absolute in the world.

The "four virtues" mentioned here are viewed only from a positive perspective, and it does not deny the negative impact this ancient traditional moral code has brought to women.

Mother-in-law, mother, daughter-in-law, all are women.

The man is the core of handling these three relationships and is also the key factor in determining family harmony.

Li Xuewu's pampering of Gu Ning does not include indulgence, and there is nothing in Gu Ning's family values and character that allows him or his family to gossip.

Especially the attitude of Li Xuewu's family toward Gu Ning—respect, care, and love—these don't need special emphasis.

Even if Gu Ning doesn't know how to handle interpersonal relationships, and even if she is monotonous and lonely in life, she can tangibly feel this simple care.

Therefore, Li Xuewu is both grateful for his parents' support and care, and thankful for his wife's understanding and tolerance.

Harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all things; this is a principle that many people have summarized only after making mistakes throughout their lives, and have come to understand thoroughly.

You might ask, are there really no contradictions or disputes between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Li family?

How could that be? Even lips can bite teeth, let alone two women living together.

Not to mention daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, don't daughters and mothers have times when they argue?

Sometimes, daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law won't actually argue, especially in well-bred families; they mostly get angry, and if they get anxious, they just have a cold war.

When Liu Yin was a daughter-in-law, she was under the control and restraint of the Great-Grandmother. She had to serve her mother-in-law, take care of her husband, and look after the children.

Was it easy for her?

She was like all the housewives of this period, doing all the trivial tasks in the house, getting up earliest and going to bed latest, and eating last even after cooking the meal.

Even if she cut her hand while chopping vegetables, she wouldn't dare to cry out in pain, just cleaning the wound herself.

It wasn't that her family didn't care about her, but she didn't want them to. She had already become accustomed to mastering the trivial matters, mastering the family's finances, and the children's upbringing.

She and the Great-Grandmother had been together for decades, and there were times when they were at odds. Could she show attitude or make faces for Li Shun to see?

A man has to support all the expenses and costs of a family, and also use his strength to protect everyone in this family from harm.

If he were to worry about housework again, wouldn't the woman's status be threatened?

There is an unverified and undiscussed viewpoint that when a man masters the ability to do housework such as washing clothes and cooking, and can also earn money, his attitude toward women will undergo a qualitative change.

No, it's not necessarily a good side; it may develop into discrimination in marital attitude.

This is an extreme situation that appears when social division of labor and personal skills reach a certain state of imbalance.

The social husband-wife relationship in later generations of Japan has an extreme manifestation in this regard, with polarization.

Women are either housewives, or wandering on the street, or even losing their sense of shame and honor, doing base things.

Including South Korea, the same is true; society will generally be filled with a prejudice against women.

In this social phenomenon, especially South Korea is the most obvious. Those who understand in detail may know that their domestic violence rate is quite high.

The highest in the world!

Sometimes they even shout bastard words like "what else can women do besides giving birth to children."

If one day, the marriage and family relationships in the mainland reach such an extreme, or the times change, and foreign women intervene in the marriage market.

I don't know if those girls will regret listening to the "fairy theory" promoted by those marriage bloggers.

They like to hear pretty words too much, beautifying selfishness and utilitarianism. While being consumed by capital, they are also bearing the evil consequences caused by this social reality.

What happens if there is excessive selfishness and utilitarianism?

That is, female workers in factories will dislike that their social status and enjoyment are not good enough, and their living conditions are not good enough, and they will take to the streets.

Is the social status high like this?

It is precisely to be disgusted and disliked.

The most significant point is the large emergence of older single women, which benchmarks the serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women in the marriage market.

Waiting for a price to sell, you will always trap yourself in the predicament of looking at one mountain while standing on another. When you look back, you have already walked into the valley.

At 28, an age that should have been married and having children with a successful career, she is worried about choosing the other half of marriage and worried that she won't marry well.

By the age of 32, she is completely panicked. The high requirements of the past are reduced layer by layer, but the more they are reduced, the less people want her. They begin to worry about not being able to marry.

They begin to doubt what is wrong with this society, what is wrong with men, and why they don't want to get married?

No, it's not. Society is still the original society, and men are still the original men. They still want to get married and want to have a home.

But what remains unchanged is that what they like is still you at twenty-three or four.

If you reach the age of 38, oh ho, congratulations, you have gained the favor of fate and capital again. The elderly matchmaking market has begun to be popular.

Those who have not been married at this age and have a picky attitude must look very good.

Entering this market is completely unstoppable, dizzying a group of rich old men.

Don't look at the old man's age and crooked appearance, but the old man is really rich. He dares to marry you, but you have to accept the fact that his son is the same age as you.

You don't have to consider who will take care of the children born after marriage, or the problem of not wanting to give birth if the mother-in-law doesn't help take care of the children, because he doesn't need you to give birth. He already has grandchildren, and you can't give birth anymore.

There is no need to worry about the bad relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the problem of disharmony. Because you may not even have a mother-in-law, the old man is already an old man, the old lady is gone, and the mother is mostly gone.

No need to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, no need to worry about hurting the body by giving birth, no need to worry about having no money to spend. It seems that all the requirements for marriage set at the age of 25 have been met.

Is this situation a good thing for women?

This is of course wrong, but reflecting on the fundamental core problem, is it that social labor is missing from a special angle, forcing women to move toward the workplace to earn money to support the family?

This has led to a serious imbalance in the division of labor in the family. Once there are children, or contradictions between parents, this imbalance will be increased.

The husband-wife relationship will develop into a state of hostility, and even apply for divorce on the grounds of no love.

In fact, it is not that they have no love, but that reality has grasped their cognitive misunderstanding of marriage and hit them hard, making them dizzy.

Regarding the family, why did the ancients summarize the principle of family harmony leading to prosperity in all things, and did not say that men being good leads to prosperity, or women being good leads to prosperity?

In later generations, some women rely on the imbalance in the marriage market, are overconfident, and put forward high-level marriage requirements to men, which is a manifestation of lack of self-confidence.

And after men have money, giving up fantasies about love and waving banknotes to select girlfriends one by one is also a manifestation of lack of self-confidence.

And the emergence of two extreme situations has accelerated the trust crisis of marriage among men and women of appropriate age in society.

Girls take the initiative to ask for money to fill this increasingly tense marriage trust crisis, without considering what they can bring to each other's combination or what they can pay.

They even ask the mother-in-law to take care of all the expenses of giving birth before marriage and help take care of the children, otherwise they will not give birth.

This phenomenon may only appear in the country. If you try it in the United States, if you dare to say so, the elderly may give you a big hug.

Long live understanding, because they just don't want to take care of children. They are more selfish and have their own lives to enjoy. These fairy theories are what they played with, and now they have rotted and thought it through.

But China is not. The ancients can better find a state from social relations and the harmony between heaven, earth, and man to regulate and restrict family relations.

Harmony and beauty have become a symbol of good family relations and are praised by people.

Even if the character is very bad, even if the mother from the maternal side doesn't know how to love people, she won't think that it is a good thing for her daughter and son-in-law to divorce, right?

If her son also finds a daughter-in-law who makes people worry like her daughter, and the other party's mother is also like her?

That would be lively. Only magic can defeat magic!

Harmony became the cause of prosperity, and prosperity became the result of harmony. The process will have everything, but the cause and effect have been determined, and everything is not difficult.

Liu Yin's active contribution gave the cause of harmony to this family. Zhao Yafang, Gu Ning, Ji Yuxiu, and little sister-in-law Li Xue would not jump out of this circle to consider problems in everything.

Including the men of the Li family, just like Li Shun learned from his father, the three brothers of Li Xuewen are also learning how to do things and be people from their father.

The result is that the men are all of the same character, tolerant and generous to their wives, understanding and caring, not seeking luxury in economy and life, but seeking stability.

Even unstable factors like Li Xuewu have far exceeded the budget of Li Shun and his wife, and he successfully started a family and career smoothly just after becoming an adult.

Once Li Shun muttered before going to bed on the kang that it would be a great success if his second son Li Xuewu didn't bring back a child before the age of 16.

Furthermore, bringing back a child before the age of 35 is also a great success.

His ideals and demands for this second son are particularly simple and particularly loose, even if he finds a powerful and tricky daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, this son does everything beyond their expectations and does not grow according to the life trajectory they envisioned at all.

You look at him when he is naughty and want him to be honest, but he doesn't, climbing over walls and roofs.

You look at his academic success and want him to take a good university, but he doesn't, almost bringing back a grandson.

You look at him suddenly returning home in the wind and snow, wanting him to be stable, but he doesn't, tossing and becoming a cadre.

You look at him jumping up and down and becoming a section chief, thinking that he is finally stable, but he doesn't! He extinguished the leader.

You look at him finding a girl from the supply and marketing cooperative, who can talk and manage the family, thinking that they must have a good life after marriage! He slaughtered the other party.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this son is a rebellious son, completely growing on the back of the couple's heads.

Time passed in a flash. Who would have thought that this son also has a son, and he can no longer be called a big boy, but must be called a serious man.

Liu Yin listened to her son's instructions. When she came to pick her and Li Shu up in the evening, watching her son's tall figure disappear into the Chuihua Gate, tears couldn't help but flow down.

She didn't know why she was shedding tears. It couldn't be that she was sad to see her son doing well. It could only be happy, happy.

"Hmm, I am Li Xuewu."

Li Xuewu held the phone and said, "Has Political Commissar Zhao returned?"

"Hmm, hmm, please ask him to listen to the phone."

After a while, Zhao Zhenhua's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Comrade Xuewu, I think it must be good news, right?"

"Guessed right, no reward, hehe—"

Li Xuewu made a joke and then said seriously: "The matter of chemical fertilizer has been settled, 70 tons, one container, arriving at Tianjin Port wharf in a month."

"Oh my—! I just said it!"

Zhao Zhenhua laughed loudly on the phone: "If there is something, you must find Regiment Commander Li. This matter is handled really cleanly and neatly. Okay, it's just better than us!"

"Don't pour me soul soup—!"

Li Xuewu laughed twice and asked: "Is Regiment Commander Qi also there? I seem to have heard him laugh the loudest."

"Hahaha—! Comrade Xuewu!"

The phone was taken over by Qi Yaowu, who laughed and said: "I have to say I admire you. The amount of 50 tons, you asked for 70 tons. No need to say, I have to invite you to drink!"

"Remember the wine first, I will definitely drink it. Let's talk about the serious matter first."

Li Xuewu laughed and greeted: "After the chemical fertilizer arrives at Tianjin Port wharf, it will go through the supply chain channel of the United Trade and arrive directly at the Beijing freight station."

"Why? Is there a problem?"

Qi Yaowu understood. Li Xuewu emphasized it like this, there must be some ulterior motive.

"Do you want me to arrange for transportation or security?"

"Both, I'm talking, you listen."

Li Xuewu said seriously: "A month later is the key period for farming. The need for chemical fertilizer will reach its peak."

"70 tons of chemical fertilizer will not attract attention at Tianjin Port, but all the way to the Beijing freight station, you have to be prepared, maybe it will be detained."

"He dares! Who dares to detain my things!"

Qi Yaowu was anxious all of a sudden and shouted on the phone: "You don't have to worry about this. From Tianjin Port, I will arrange for people to escort it. Not a grain will be lost."

"Don't worry, I'm telling you this problem, you just listen to me."

Li Xuewu explained: "To use 50 tons, asking for 70 tons is not only a container transportation standard, but also 20 tons for you to handle relationships."

"With that little output in the reclamation area on the mountain, buying chemical fertilizer and agricultural machinery, plus this year's seeds and other investment construction, basically last year was in vain."

"So, the amount of 20 tons, you think about how to handle it yourself, with both inside and face."

Li Xuewu said on the phone: "The profit of sewing is not enough to solve all the expenses, at least it can solve a part."

"Understood, you are one of us, I won't thank you, it's too hypocritical."

Qi Yaowu said seriously on the phone: "I owe you a meal of wine, and I owe you a meal of wine for the political commissar, counting both of us."

"Hahaha—!"

Li Xuewu laughed when he heard his words, looked at Peng Xiaoli holding the document and nodding, and continued: "Okay, I remember the wine matter. Let's talk when the agricultural machinery matter is settled."

"Okay, let's do it like this."

He chatted with Qi Yaowu for two sentences and said two sentences to Zhao Zhenhua, and then hung up the phone.

"Leader, it's time for the meeting."

Seeing Li Xuewu hang up the phone, Peng Xiaoli reminded: "The leaders of the credit cooperative have all come, and Deputy Director Jing is receiving them."

"Hmm, hmm, okay."

Li Xuewu nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and asked: "Who all came?"

"Director Bao led the team, Deputy Director Zhou Yao in charge of loan business, and Deputy Director Ling Yun in charge of savings business."

Peng Xiaoli introduced the other party's situation one by one, and at the same time helped Li Xuewu prepare notebooks and materials.

Li Xuewu put on his coat, took him out of the door, and walked downstairs.

On the way, he happened to meet Sun Jian coming out of the office, so he called him to say two sentences together.

"I don't have time, you help me contact and see who in our factory's sales or production has a relationship with the agricultural machinery factory."

"What's wrong, leader?"

Sun Jian asked in surprise: "Are we going to produce agricultural machinery or farm land?"

"Hmm, not us, it's the Third Guard Regiment."

Li Xuewu explained: "Isn't there a reclamation area on the mountain? They want to improve production labor efficiency, so they entrusted me to buy a batch of agricultural machinery and tools."

He told Sun Jian about the basic situation of the agricultural reclamation area and said some specific requirements, meaning to let him contact first, and he can find him for specific communication.

Li Xuewu does not lack the ability to contact and handle relationships, and does not lack connections in this regard. What he lacks is time to handle these trivial matters.

Let Sun Jian be busy with this matter, handle the early problems, and finally he will show his face, even if he invites the other party to dinner.

Solving this matter as soon as possible and transporting the agricultural machinery to the hands of the Third Guard Regiment is the urgent matter.

Sun Jian sent him to the stairs, knew the leader's requirements, and promised to contact immediately.

At the same time, he also reported a situation to Li Xuewu. This year's university student internship quota is available, and Director Ding of the office asked, how many does the security department want this year?

"Can this still be discussed?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows with a smile and said: "Just come with thirty or twenty, we don't have high requirements."

"Haha—!"

Sun Jian laughed: "I thought so too, but Director Ding said to give them all to us, haha!"

A total of more than 100 university students, Li Xuewu really wanted to pack them all. At that time, the security department of the rolling mill would be the security organization with the highest cultural level in the whole city.

Of course, what he said was not true, he was joking with Sun Jian.

"It's all okay, please ask Director Ding to arrange it at his discretion. It is best to recruit a batch of university students from public security colleges or professional colleges."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Regardless of men and women, we treat them equally, still according to the original training mechanism, okay."

After finishing, he gave Sun Jian two sentences and went downstairs. Sun Jian could see that he was not interested in this matter, so he didn't mention it again.

He understood the specific reason. Deputy team leader Yu Decai had told him once.

Last year, when Yu Decai was in charge of office work, the security department received three university students for internship.

They were all good seedlings and worked very well, but there was a problem in training. Only the current security section chief Zhou Yao became a talent.

Yu Decai also told him with great regret that he had to bear the main responsibility for the problems of the other two university students.

Li Xuewu handed the people to him to lead and teach, but he didn't care or take care of them, wasting the most precious talents in vain.

Looking at Zhou Yao, who has become the backbone of the security department today, one knows how tragic the loss is.

Even if the other party doesn't reach Zhou Yao's current position, deputy section chief or section chief, important staff member, isn't it a loss?

Sun Jian learned that since then, Li Xuewu has paid special attention to university students coming to the factory to work or intern.

Life, work, safety, etc., have repeatedly issued documents in the name of the security team and the management committee office, requiring improvement and protection of these pillars of talent.

But he has never guided or deployed these talents to the security department, and has paid more attention to Zhou Yao's growth, repeatedly finding the other party for organizational talks, just afraid of losing another one.

Heartbrokenness does not necessarily have to be expressed on the face. It is true pain to hurt in the heart.

It is because he can see Li Xuewu's heartbreak and regret that Yu Decai has such a sense of guilt, and he has repeatedly told him this year to do a good job in arranging university student internship work.

These students have just walked out of school and have not yet had a mature mind to face the challenges and difficulties of society and work.

At this time, they need the care and help of the organization. In actual work and life, in thought and study, they all need careful care.

Care is not pampering, let alone indulgence, just like Li Xuewu's care for Zhou Yao, directly arranged to the training ground to receive three months of training and education.

Look at the effect after returning, working in the security section without any problems, and can quickly adapt to the needs of the post.

Internship for a few months, working for more than half a year, has already become the section chief of the security section and the most potential young cadre of the security team.

When she first came, she had double ponytails, fair and transparent skin, full of youth and beauty.

It is completely different from the current capable short hair, slightly dark skin, and full of majesty and precision.

Can you say Li Xuewu didn't take care of her?

Just when the first batch of university students entered the factory to receive pre-internship education, Gu Weijie, who presided over the meeting and spoke, gave her example.

Talking about how the rolling mill cultivates talents and uses talents, talking about how Zhou Yao accepts organizational training and exercise, from a university student who just participated in work, step by step growing into the person in charge of the most powerful department of the security team.

These university students who have just gathered from the campus to the factory naturally do not understand what Zhou Yao has experienced in the process of growth.

They only feel the care and love of the organization from the leader's narrative, listening to Zhou Yao's slightly short resume in the process of growth, imagining that they will become such cadres a year later.

In fact, it is not an imagination. If you are as hard-working and progressive as Zhou Yao, and shine in various posts, you will naturally get the promotion and appointment of the organization.

Of course, if you want to be like Zhou Yao, I am afraid that hard work and achievements are not enough, and you need a little luck.

"Oh my, Deputy Director Li, you are too hard to make an appointment—!"

As soon as they met, Bao Peigang took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with Li Xuewu who entered the door, without any airs of a big director.

He is the director of the Dongcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative, a person who is on an equal footing with Li Huai De.

Coming here as a guest must be received and accompanied by Jing Yunong, but when seeing Li Xuewu, this deputy director of the management committee office, he was more enthusiastic than meeting Jing Yunong.

There are naturally some private friendships in this, but more is that he dare not underestimate Li Xuewu's energy.

Seeing Director Bao stand up to shake hands and greet, the two deputy directors who came together didn't know why, so they stood up too.

Those who know know that Li Xuewu is a deputy director at the deputy division level. Those who don't know think he is the deputy director of the rolling mill management committee.

At this time, the titles of organizational cadres are also chaotic and complex, even in later generations.

You must know the rank of those called division chief and deputy division chief. You may not be able to understand the rank of those called director and deputy director.

High ones, there are directors above the ministry level. Low ones, the village head, the village director, is also called director.

The span is too large, so when Bao Peigang called him Deputy Director Li, Zhou Yao and Ling Yun took the initiative to shake hands with Li Xuewu.

Only when Bao Peigang introduced them did the two know that the young Li Xuewu was "only" at the deputy division level.

The "only" here has to be put in double quotes, because even if he is not the deputy director of the rolling mill management committee, even if he is the deputy director of the management committee office, it is enough to make them respect him.

Bao Peigang is so polite, where do they not understand that Li Xuewu's energy is not just as simple as it looks on the surface.

Of course, they also saw one or two from the posture of Li Xuewu receiving them.

This young cadre does not have the character of arrogance and pride, and is peaceful and natural to shake hands and greet them, with a very leader-like temperament.

Especially the few welcome speeches are better than what Deputy Director Jing just said.

The basic quality of a cadre does not necessarily have to be expressed in speaking and receiving people.

However, cadres with high etiquette and basic quality in interpersonal communication will go further. This is certain.

At least from the beginning of seeing Li Xuewu, the first impression made them feel particularly good.

Neither did he cross Deputy Director Jing to talk to them without knowing his identity, nor did he deliberately create topics to attract their attention.

Gentle as wind and rain, moistening things silently.

There is also a deputy director of the office who came with them, who cannot reach the communication level of this Deputy Director Li.

As long as the big director goes out to do things, especially on business trips to public cooperation units, he will definitely bring the deputy director of the office.

It will generally not be the director. The director is the big housekeeper in the unit. If he leaves, many things will not be done.

So the deputy director can better contact public cooperation units, and it also tests their comprehensive quality.

Memory is the foundation. You have to remember the other party's name and identity, and even include background relationships.

Secondly, it is the art of speaking, to make both sides comfortable, and even more to pass words to the leader at the critical moment, let the leader continue to speak, and speak to the right place.

Where is the key node of passing words?

Often when the leader looks at you, and has words like "you say so, Comrade So-and-so or Deputy Director So-and-so."

This shows that the leader lacks key data support when commenting on this matter, or needs you to remind him where the core point is.

The leader handles too many things in a day. How can he remember all the problems?

But the deputy director must remember them all.

Especially in public occasions, the leader must be cautious when speaking and cannot throw everything out.

The accompanying deputy director is the guarantee that his speech is not crooked or wrong, and it is also a teleprompter that he can pick up at any time when he needs data.

Such a post tests psychological quality and comprehensive ability the most. Ordinary people really can't do it.

What if you happen to go out without a deputy director and need the leader to speak?

Then the leader basically dare not talk nonsense. You just listen. The car-wheel words can grind you to death.

If you meet someone who is not familiar with the business, he talks for three hours, and you can summarize it in five words.

This Deputy Director Li of the committee office can be said to have let the several people of the Dongcheng Credit Cooperative who visited see the ceiling of the deputy director post.

Not only can he support Deputy Director Jing to speak, but he can also indirectly cooperate to express his own opinions.

While taking care of the other party's emotions and opinions, he can also cleverly communicate with his own leader with concise and hidden words, and then give explanations and answers to the other party's questions on the spot.

Bao Peigang brought two deputy directors in charge of specific business today, just to complete the cooperation negotiation.

Of course, it is not just investment business. That part has basically been talked about, and the appropriation has been planned to arrive.

He came this time to complete the follow-up cooperation content between the Red Star Rolling Mill and the Dongcheng Credit Cooperative.

Including other investment, savings, loans, and foreign currency and settlement business content between units.

The rolling mill's current cooperative bank is the Industrial and Commercial Bank, including capital savings, public-to-public capital exchanges, etc., all of which are managed by the other party.

But since the middle of last year, when Li Xuewu communicated with Li Huai De to prepare to establish a capital management structure belonging to the rolling mill, Li Huai De already had this plan.

In the process of the rolling mill's development and progress, this plan has also been gradually arranged on the agenda.

Especially when the Dongcheng Credit Cooperative appeared on the rolling mill's cooperation list by chance.

In fact, there is no need to consider the strength comparison between banks too much. At this time, there is no problem of capital pressure for all banks.

Only the difference in capital sources and operational capabilities. But for the rolling mill, is there any difference between the 100 yuan borrowed from the Industrial and Commercial Bank and the 100 yuan borrowed from the credit cooperative?

No, they all have to pay interest, and they all have to handle cooperative relationships.

Li Xuewu's purpose of gradually promoting the cooperation between the credit cooperative and the rolling mill is to use the period when the credit cooperative's management structure is changing, and use certain rules to obtain qualifications for financial management and operation.

Simply put, banks can absorb savings, and credit cooperatives can too. They can carry out investment and lending business like banks.

Then can the rolling mill take this opportunity to cooperate with the credit cooperative and open savings offices in the future worker village?

With this as a structure, it is responsible for the issuance of workers' wages, the settlement of funds for joint enterprises and trade, and the operation and use of commercial loans.

After mastering financial power, the rolling mill's development will have infinite driving force, and can even continuously create the capital energy needed for development.

Deputy Director Ling Yun, who is responsible for savings operations, introduced and explained this topic.

He brought the credit union's regulations and systems regarding cooperation with other units to establish savings offices, and provided some solutions for the requirements and needs raised by the steel mill.

Li Xuewu and Jing Yunong listened while watching, and after the other party finished the introduction, they raised questions regarding relevant doubts.

Bao Peigang was very active and proactive in promoting the implementation of this cooperation; for the credit union to step out of the countryside and develop toward factories is also part of its business adjustment.

The diversity of funding sources is the foundation and quality that ensures the credit union possesses more ability to resist risks during its development process.

This point coincides with the demands of the steel mill.

Therefore, the initial contact and negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly, and the atmosphere in the reception room was filled with laughter throughout.

The steel mill treats the credit union as a god of wealth, and the credit union treats the steel mill as God, so now God and the god of wealth are sitting together, laughing happily.
