Chapter 1056: The Heng and Ha Generals

"Is the old lady feeling sorry for her grandson?"

In Li Xuewu's office, after hearing him talk about being late in the morning, Wei Zaike asked with a smile.

They had agreed yesterday that they would discuss the formulation and implementation of the group organization system this morning, but he didn't expect Li Xuewu to be late.

"No choice. Old people, no matter how many grandchildren they have, they can't feel sorry enough for them. There are only three grandchildren now, and two are at my house."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "My mother is still okay; she isn't as doting on the children as my father, who thinks the eldest granddaughter is this good and that good when he sees her."

"It's all the same. Which old person doesn't like children? It's the same at my age."

Wei Zaike drank a cup of hot tea and said helplessly, "My eldest son didn't continue his studies after finishing junior high. I told him to come to the factory to work, but he was dead set against it."

He leaned back in his chair and looked at the bonsai on the desk with some melancholy, "In the end, he followed his third uncle to the south, saying he found a partner."

"Sigh—this life is considered settled over there."

"You have to think on the bright side; what if it's a good match?"

Li Xuewu comforted him, "I stayed in the south for a while. The girls there are gentler in speech than the big girls in the north, except for those in southern Sichuan who are a bit fiery."

"If he really settled in the south, maybe he feels that the water and soil there are more nourishing, and it's more suitable for him to take root and flourish."

"Haha, you know how to comfort people~"

Wei Zaike settled his mood, put down the teacup, and asked, "Is there any movement from the leaders? Regarding the audit opinions on the organizational structure, if there are requirements, we can organize manpower to carry out research in time."

"They say they are still looking at it. Maybe there are many opinions; after all, it's the first version, which is normal."

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said, "Don't be in a hurry either. This work has to be done slowly; you have to let the leaders consider the big direction."

"What about you? Do you have any opinions or suggestions? I really want to hear what you have to say."

Wei Zaike looked at Li Xuewu with a smile and picked up his teacup to take a sip. He loved the tea leaves at Li Xuewu's place; why did so few people come to visit?

"A few days ago, our group held an internal office meeting, and the comrades in the group mentioned that we should invite you to participate. The earlier we get valuable opinions, the more valuable they are."

"Haha, I'm busy enough as it is—"

Li Xuewu joked lightly, "Let's talk to the leaders later and swap. I'll also learn the advanced experience of the political group."

"Forget it! I welcome you if you want to come to the political group, but don't let me be busy with your mess!"

Wei Zaike waved his hand amusedly and said, "You're young, it's a good thing to exercise more. You don't feel tired even when you're busy with such a big mess."

"I can't do it. I'm old, it's really tiring."

He leaned against the backrest and pointed toward the main office building, "Look at Old Ding. He's been exhausted after running around with Director Li for a month."

"Busy with projects during the day, presiding over work, busy with socializing at night, and not knowing where he wakes up the next morning. Even an iron man couldn't stand it. If it were me, I would have extinguished the fire long ago."

"Look at what you're saying. Director Ding is no ordinary soldier; he's someone who can fight and carry!"

Li Xuewu gave a thumbs up and said, "I've never heard him say any discouraging words."

"Hmm, he's almost dead—"

Wei Zaike folded his right leg and said, "He doesn't go home every night. His wife stands in the kitchen and swears. We live next door to them, so I hear it clearly."

"Is that so? That's so inconvenient."

Li Xuewu joked maliciously, "If you really run into someone sending gifts, tell me, do you accept it or not?"

"Stop talking about that. I don't dare say I'm upright and honest, but I'm worthy of the organization."

Wei Zaike laughed, "Old Ding not going home at night isn't just for socializing; it's also to avoid relationships. Someone knocks on the door every night."

"Why else would Director Ding's wife swear!"

He drank a cup of hot tea amusedly and said, "He gave his wife instructions before he left that day: anyone who comes to the house to send gifts, don't accept any of them!"

"If there's knocking at night, just say he's not home and it's not convenient to entertain guests. If you can't drive them away, then show your cards, just say he doesn't go home and the couple is having a conflict."

"Hahaha—!"

Li Xuewu laughed and asked, "Is it necessary? Who forced Director Ding to this point, having a home but unable to return?"

"Hey! Don't say that! They haven't found you! You don't know how annoying these people are!"

Wei Zaike curled his lips and said, "Director Ding's wife felt sorry for him at first, but now they're really going to have a conflict. She says that being the office director is like recruiting ghosts—they're all little ghosts at night!"

That's right. People at this time want face. If they really want to go to a leader's house to find a way, they wish they could go in the middle of the night.

Leaders also want face. Even if they accept, they only dare to accept in the middle of the night. Why else would they say they are all ghosts?

"Regarding this matter of setting the tone for the group organizational structure, it's getting more and more chaotic."

Wei Zaike told the joke about Ding Zigui, but he was also really talking about problems and reflecting on problems.

He looked at Li Xuewu seriously and said, "It's time to manage it; it doesn't look like anything."

"Hmm, it doesn't look very good."

Li Xuewu thought for a while, looked at Wei Zaike, and asked, "Are you not affected?"

"They dare to send things to my house!"

Wei Zaike stared and said, "I told my wife to accept whoever sends them, keep a good record of the names, and hand them to me. The next day, I'll strip them of their position!"

Li Xuewu nodded slowly and said, "I'll mention it to the leaders, issue a document from the office, and let the propaganda side grasp the public opinion orientation."

"As for those who don't repent, commit crimes against the wind, and dare to send and accept, catch a batch of typical examples and deal with them seriously."

As he said this, his face also became serious, "Every time we face organizational personnel adjustments, the top hasn't moved yet, but the bottom is chaotic first. This atmosphere cannot exist."

"And regarding organizational work, we must guard the gate well. Important information cannot be leaked. It's not good to have people appointed before they are even assigned."

"Hmm, that's my opinion too."

Wei Zaike nodded seriously and said, "Organizational personnel investigation work should be carried out more, data should be collected diligently, and surprise research work should be reduced."

"Then take advantage of the group organizational structure discussion period to grasp the organizational discipline of the agency."

Li Xuewu drank a cup of hot tea and added, "Regarding the opinions on the structure, I studied it specifically after I went back that night."

"Group decision-making, factory execution, personnel verticalization, financial grading, management flattening—simply these few points."

He talked to Wei Zaike about the few points he mentioned, mainly focusing on elite troops and small heads with big bodies.

Building a unified management and decision-making system for the group, formulating execution supervision and restraint mechanisms, and coordinating development are the main directions that the two have jointly studied and finalized.

In fact, when Li Xuewu submitted the first version of the audit opinion draft to several factory leaders, he had already attached his own opinions and suggestions.

How to think, how to define, how to research—it still depends on the leaders studying their own opinions and discussing and researching them at the meeting before they can be handed down.

On one hand, it is compliance management and strict systems; on the other hand, it is dividing responsibilities and improving the system. Finally, it is the work of upper and lower joint supervision and improving the work coordination channel.

In fact, the main purpose of Wei Zaike coming here to ask was to know if the leaders had any other considerations.

Including all leaders, whether there are interest tendencies in certain clauses in the plan, or subjective opinions.

Li Xuewu also explained this. In his understanding, the steel mill's promotion and group formation are the result of accumulation and the general trend.

Everyone can only follow the trend and respond to the call of the era. Regarding personal gains and losses, when a large factory of tens of thousands of people moves toward the goal of group formation, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Whoever dares to mention private interests at this time is not brainless.

Li Xuewu told Wei Zaike that issuing a document from the office was also to achieve the effect of "do not say that words were not spoken in advance," and it was to carry out the cleanup action with reason and evidence.

Propaganda following up and grasping public opinion was to explain to the agency cadres the fundamental principles and basic situation regarding the formulation of this group structure.

Of course, the composition settings of various departments and sections would not be revealed, but everyone would be told that what is being done now is the framework, not personnel.

That is to say, the framework is being built, and it is not yet time to decide who will go up.

Starting to burn incense and worship Buddha now is too early. It not only affects the lives of cadres responsible for related work but also affects the discipline of agency management.

Two-pronged approach, quick action.

At the same time, we must actively promote the discussion and research work of the plan in a feasible way, and come up with an opinion and direction for the first version as soon as possible.

This can give relevant departments time and space to improve and provide a second version for discussion as soon as possible.

The group formation work is complex and cumbersome. Li Xuewu is participating in it as the deputy director of the leadership group office.

Relevant leaders serve as team leaders and deputy team leaders, and team members are team leaders and deputy team leaders of various groups. The meeting has been held for several rounds, and the speed of progress is fast enough.

Wei Zaike coming to find Li Xuewu cannot be considered finding the wrong Buddha. Regarding this work, it is Li Xuewu who can speak to the leaders of various factories.

The opinions obtained from him can basically be used as the final reference, especially the personal opinions of the leaders, which are still very important to him.

Being able to eat a reassurance pill here is better than being shut out by the leaders.

Now the team leaders and deputy team leaders of various groups basically have a general understanding.

The promotion work at the end of this year may not be very smooth. After all, in this period, especially since the steel mill intends to achieve group formation, the top must also fully consider the actual situation.

But in the first half of next year, there should be definite news. With a difference of one year, many things are hard to say and not certain.

So sending gifts at this time is purely nonsense, and they won't pay attention to it.

As for the group formation process, according to the pressure revealed by the leaders and the gossip they learned themselves, the final goal should be achieved as expected.

Because as long as the promotion work can be completed and the personnel problem is solved, the problem of division of labor and position in group formation can also be solved.

The city is not willing to see the child it raised run away, but the child is not controlled by the mother.

The top is willing to see the steel mill achieve group formation, achieve large-scale development, and explosive economic production capacity.

The factory achieving company formation and group formation proves that the current economy is vibrant and has taken a characteristic development path.

At the same time, we must see that in the process of progress and development, the factory is a powerful advantage that drives the labor market, financial market, and industrial clustering.

The most direct point is that in the process of achieving group formation, the steel mill needs to arrange for cadres from above to participate in the construction work.

A large group cannot have positions distributed by the factory itself.

The steel mill is developing so well, which shows that the factory's leading cadres have combat effectiveness.

Overall planning and coordinated development—if cadres here go out to preside over work in other factories, can they exchange the advanced experience here?

Cadre exchange is definitely an advantage, which is a good thing for both the top and the bottom, and also an opportunity for progress and development for the parties involved.

So we can see that in this work, no factory leader is making trouble or dragging their feet.

And no leader is fighting for their own interests or circling their own land.

There is no need. It is not certain whether this land will be yours in the end. Maybe when the group formation process is achieved, half of the people in the current team will leave.

Think again, how many people are in the team now, and how many people will there be in the future?

Doubling is normal. After all, it is still a management structure of the management committee. After group formation is achieved, the factory director responsibility system must be restored.

Regarding this point, in the organizational structure discussion meeting, everyone's opinions were relatively consistent.

Initially canceling the factory director responsibility system was to respond to the call of university learning, fully summarize thoughts, and carry out learning experience, in order to concentrate strength to do big things.

Now that strength is concentrated and big things have been done, the focus of attention is to return to economic and production construction.

The organizational reform work of the steel mill is half a year ahead of the current reform situation.

And the issuance and learning of guiding documents and decision-making documents have always been strictly implemented by the factory.

That is to say, the steel mill runs fast, its strength is concentrated and united, and it can closely follow the pace of reform and the pace of the era.

In the face of last year's economic summary and the summary of development in the first quarter of this year, the top has already had the will to revitalize the economy and develop production.

Especially in the university learning activity, the national tour of progressive teachers and students from other places has been stopped, and even cities have begun to recall and clean them up.

Leaders from above frequently appear on the production front to visit and research, and have even held economic exploration meetings many times to discuss and research important work of grasping production and promoting learning.

From a fundamental sense, the top has never had the intention to hinder factory production and construction, including the special instructions issued in May last year.

The steel mill is precisely because it undertook this east wind that it has organizational institutions such as joint trade, joint production, and joint third industry.

This year, it has concentrated its strength to prepare for the creation of the automotive industry supply chain, the seafood food industry supply chain, and the raw material supply chain system for coal, iron, mining, and timber.

So now, although the steel mill is walking very urgently and quickly, it is also very stable and highly valued by the top.

The formulation of management systems has certain laws and guidelines, and more relies on policies to execute.

Li Huai De mentioned to Li Xuewu privately that the top already has the intention to explore the factory director responsibility system under the management committee structure, as well as the restoration and construction of the party organization.

This is beyond doubt. All cadres must receive organizational leadership when executing work, and should receive more education and guidance from the party.

So, now it is generally the road of developing reform, learning advanced experience, and rebuilding the management structure.

But here at the steel mill, the experimental road has been finished, and it is time to return to the right track.

Of course, we must see the limitations of this reform and development. Saying that we want to restore the factory director responsibility system and restore the party organization structure is just a policy guidance.

Regarding how to execute, the opinions coordinated by Li Huai De and several other deputy directors here at the steel mill are to wait and see.

It's not calling out, but really walking and watching.

But in the construction of the group organizational structure, this structure and goal must be included.

It can be two sets of plans, but it must be guaranteed that when such a directional change appears in three years, the factory can quickly come up with a solution.

After sending Wei Zaike away, Li Xuewu really reported to each leader by phone regarding this problem.

"Leader, I told the logistics department that we need to add three more cabinets, and we have to organize the materials and re-file them. It's already full."

Peng Xiaoli came in when Li Xuewu was on the phone. First, he cleaned up the teacup, refilled his tea, and cleaned up the documents on the table.

Only waiting for Li Xuewu to finish the call with Deputy Director Jing, he started to report.

Li Xuewu drank a cup of hot tea, nodded, and said, "Busy yourself, are you moving now?"

"The comrades from logistics are already waiting at the door."

Peng Xiaoli organized the documents on the table into boxes, which he would take back to his room to organize and file later, and then transfer them to the bottom or the office.

He got Li Xuewu's permission and walked to the door, greeting, "Come, work hard, comrades. Be careful, don't bump the cabinet doors."

Someone at the door responded, while Peng Xiaoli stood in the room, preparing to guide them on where to put the cabinets.

Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention, just looked at the documents in his hand. There were originally three cabinets in his office, all standard file cabinets.

But because of his office habits, many documents had to be filed and tracked for feedback after being reviewed, which caused a large number of documents.

Not only were the three large cabinets full, but there were also some stacked on the small table next to the sofa, on the cabinets, in the corner behind him, and even on the wooden boards laid on the floor near the edge of the cabinets.

In fact, Peng Xiaoli's work was very hard. Just organizing and processing these documents was enough to tire him out, not to mention handling other work.

Peng Xiaoli was hard-working, and Li Xuewu, who handled these documents directly, was even harder-working.

The security office didn't have so much work before. Even Fu Bin spent more time drinking tea and less time looking at documents.

It was completely different here. On one hand, he grasped the work strictly; on the other hand, there was a lot of work now.

Perhaps it was because the logistics staff were afraid of disturbing him while he was looking at documents, the cabinets were very heavy, but there was no noise or clamor.

The placement and arrangement of the three cabinets were all arranged by Peng Xiaoli, lined up along another wall. The documents in the office also had to be helped by these people to be moved to the coffee table and sofa for re-classification.

Those exceeding the time limit had to be classified and sent to the warehouse, and those within the tracking period had to be classified and placed in the cabinets. The documents in the original three cabinets also had to be tidied up.

Precisely because the sound of several people coming in to help was relatively loud, Peng Xiaoli waited for the leader to finish the call and said it in advance.

"Work hard, move the documents on the floor to the coffee table first. There are date notes on the documents, just place them in order."

Peng Xiaoli made arrangements while labeling the cabinet partitions according to the plan that had been made long ago.

And pointing to the labels, he told several people the requirements and methods for filing. There was another burst of responses in the room, but they were all very light.

Li Xuewu scanned them casually and was about to continue looking at the documents, but found Ge Shuqin standing there, listening to Peng Xiaoli's command with some people.

Ge Shuqin also saw him, or rather, she knew she was going to see someone when she was asked to help the leader organize and classify documents while moving cabinets in with her colleagues.

She was a bit embarrassed, which was different from seeing Li Xuewu in the courtyard yesterday.

This office was very large, at least for her, larger than her house.

The atmosphere here was a bit serious and majestic, especially the large office desk, the wall-to-wall file cabinets, the wooden sofa, and the hanging painting behind Li Xuewu.

When they were asked by Secretary Peng to wait at the door, they heard the leader on the phone in the office, and the objects of communication were all factory leaders. They didn't dare to have any urgency or complaints in their hearts.

They only felt that this was a rare opportunity to come into contact with the leader's work. Although they couldn't quite understand what the leaders were communicating, it must have something to do with the big events in the factory; otherwise, why call all the leaders?

The very act of being able to communicate work with leaders by phone was a special thing. After entering the room, they felt even more burdened, as if it wasn't appropriate to speak loudly.

Perhaps the only one whose mood was complex and uneasy was Ge Shuqin.

Regarding her own affairs, regarding the succession, regarding Yan Jiefang, and regarding the Yan family, she didn't know how to describe it.

Li Xuewu's gaze only paused on her for a moment, but it made her lower her head, not daring to look directly at the other party.

After starting to organize documents according to Secretary Peng's requirements, Ge Shuqin raised her head again, only to find that Li Xuewu had already lowered his head and started working.

Peng Xiaoli had long been prepared for classification and filing, so it went very smoothly according to his requirements.

There was only a very small voice in the office. After a quick and concise communication, everyone was busy.

"Director Li, yo! Busy?"

Someone knocked on the office door to greet. Peng Xiaoli smiled and went up to receive, "Deputy Director Ao, I'm sorry, I'm organizing documents, I didn't see you coming."

"Deputy Director Ao, come."

Li Xuewu saw that it was Ao Yuhua coming, put down the fountain pen in his hand, stood up, and greeted her.

Ao Yuhua was very polite and said to Peng Xiaoli, "It's okay, busy yourself."

"I came to talk to you about the return visit next month. Deputy Director Jing asked about it."

Ao Yuhua saw that the sofa was full of documents, so she didn't go over there and went straight to the office desk, "There is work on Director Li's side, let's coordinate the time. It doesn't look good for Deputy Director Jing to go alone."

"Sit, sit down and talk."

Li Xuewu let her sit, and he returned to his position, sat down, and asked, "Does Director Li have any arrangements on his side?"

"He said there were no special arrangements, but there might be temporary work. He asked me to ask you."

Ao Yuhua smiled bitterly, "I've also run a circle, let's see how to arrange it."

"I shouldn't have any problems on my side."

Li Xuewu took the notebook handed over by Peng Xiaoli and looked at it, saying, "We are going to Jinmen on the evening of the 3rd, and we won't be back until Sunday."

"If it's arranged in the first week, it seems the time is a bit tight."

He looked up and asked, "How many companies in total?"

"Credit Union, Steel Institute, Textile Factory."

Ao Yuhua said, "These three are best to do return visit arrangements in the first half of the month. Deputy Director Jing's opinion is to communicate as soon as possible and finalize cooperation."

"Beijing No. 2 Auto, Beijing Railway Station, it's best to arrange in the second half of the month. The project side should be almost ready."

"Arrange the Steel Institute on Monday, the second day after we come back. I'll contact Principal Pei."

Li Xuewu scratched his face, frowned, and thought, "Put the credit on Thursday. There is a meeting with the shipyard on Wednesday."

"Textile factory will be on..."

He thought for a while and added, "Last time the textile factory said it was settled, they wanted to organize a sit-down, and their Director Gu also had this intention."

"Then you must go, otherwise you won't be able to come back."

Ao Yuhua said helplessly, "Deputy Director Jing specifically told you to try to put it in the morning; she's afraid of this kind of situation."

"Afraid of not being able to solve the problem, this matter can't be avoided."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Only allow you to knock others down, not give others a chance to knock you down?"

After finishing, he looked at the notebook again and said, "The No. 2 Auto side is almost communicated. Put this project on the 21st. I'll go with Deputy Director Jing. There shouldn't be any problems."

"No need to go to the railway station side. I'll make a phone call to their deputy station master later and make an appointment to sit down in the evening."

A few words easily solved the problem that Ao Yuhua had run several circles for, which made Ao Yuhua sigh for a while, directly calling to come here to set it next time.

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not. If the leader has something to do, it's really impossible to move. It will be hard to avoid being in a rush again."

"I'll tell you something, you take the lead, it was transferred back from Director Li's side."

When seeing her off at the door, Ao Yuhua said softly to Li Xuewu, "The son of the former Deputy Factory Director Nie came, saying he wanted treatment for his father."

"Who? Deputy Factory Director Nie?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly, "It's Nie Xiaoguang, what treatment does he want?"

"It's him, bringing two young people to block Director Li's car at the main gate."

Ao Yuhua was also embarrassed and said, "He told Director Li that his father was injured at the shipyard and should enjoy labor protection treatment, demanding to transfer his father back to Beijing to recuperate."

"Is the injury true?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why haven't I heard of this?"

"I called Director Xu to ask."

Ao Yuhua frowned, "Said he bumped his hand, a fracture, not very serious, and he's already resting. Nie Chenglin didn't ask to return to Beijing to recuperate."

"So Nie Xiaoguang acted on his own?"

Li Xuewu had some impression of this kid. He wanted to kill Li Huai De at the beginning and even threatened never to come to the steel mill again, and that coming again would be to celebrate Li Huai De's death.

Young, impulsive, and brainless, a typical fool. I don't know how he made such a scene again.

Arranging Nie Chenglin to go to the Yingcheng Shipyard at the beginning actually had the meaning of taking care of him.

It was hard to handle at Dong Wenxue's place. After all, the steel mill was too big, and it was impossible to control how the people under him acted.

But there was basically no problem at the shipyard. The supervisors were basically the original technical cadres of the shipyard. Even if there were labor arrangements, how could they be cleaned up to death?

It was mainly to send him far away, and also to save Li Huai De from missing him. I didn't expect Nie Xiaoguang to be very afraid that his father wouldn't be missed by Li Huai De.

In other words, he hated his father for not dying?

"What does he mean? Want money?"

Li Xuewu frowned, "Does he really think he can use this trick to get his father back?"

"I don't understand either. He hasn't left yet, just waiting at the main gate for Director Li's car."

Ao Yuhua also had a headache when mentioning him. Her relationship with Nie Chenglin wasn't very good, but it wasn't very bad either. She hadn't thought about doing anything, and helping out was possible.

But facing the stubborn and unreasonable Nie Xiaoguang, she had explained the good words clearly, and the impact of the matter was also explained clearly, but the other party was stubborn and insisted on blocking Director Li's car.

Blocking Director Li once, he could treat him as a child and ignore him. If he blocked it a second time, it might be the responsibility of the office and the security team.

"Alright, I'll handle this matter."

Li Xuewu helplessly took on this job of wiping his ass. Who told him to be involved in both departments?

After sending Ao Yuhua away, he also understood. Her coming to ask about the itinerary was one aspect; it could be communicated by phone.

Coming in person might be because of this hot potato. After all, everyone knew Deputy Factory Director Nie's situation, and he wasn't a bad person.

So how to treat his family members and their demands was really a troublesome matter.

Li Xuewu returned to his desk and sat down. Peng Xiaoli walked over and asked, "Do you want me to go to the door to see the situation?"

"No, let him hang for a while. Young people are easy to climb up your nose."

Li Xuewu drank a cup of hot tea, thought for a while, and said, "Call the guard room, keep an eye on him, and if he has the intention to leave, bring him in."

After finishing, he waved his hand to signal him to handle this matter, while he flipped through the notebook in his hand, thinking about Nie Chenglin's situation.

The reason why Li Huai De hadn't moved him all along might have something to do with being too busy, or it might have something to do with Nie Chenglin being relatively cooperative with work.

But the matter was ruined by his son who wouldn't stop, and who was also a purely filial son.

"Leader, I'll move the documents behind."

He was thinking about things when he suddenly heard someone talking to him. He looked up, but it was Ge Shuqin.

"Hmm, good."

Li Xuewu stood up and gave up his position, letting her go to organize the pile of documents in the corner.

"What time did you come to work?"

"I... I was at the beginning of the month."

Ge Shuqin didn't expect Li Xuewu to ask her, so she answered stutteringly, full of caution and restraint.

Li Xuewu put down the notebook in his hand, looked at her, and asked, "Is your body okay? I remember saying hello to the personnel side. Didn't personnel arrange a vacation for you?"

Everyone else in the room paused. They were a bit surprised to hear the leader greet Ge Shuqin just now.

However, they all knew that Li Xuewu was a good person, especially with a very good attitude toward grassroots office staff.

The leader asking about personal circumstances was also showing concern, but they didn't expect Li Xuewu's concern for Ge Shuqin to be so detailed.

The other party had just come to work, and the specific situation was just passed on by people in the class.

Looking at Ge Shuqin being honest, hardworking, and uncomplaining, everyone had a very good impression of her.

Now it seems that this Ge Shuqin also has some background; otherwise, how could it be so easy to take over her husband's job?

It wasn't that there were no people with crooked minds, thinking that Ge Shuqin was young and widowed, and Li Xuewu wasn't old, so maybe there was something between them.

But there were not many people who thought this way. It could be seen very simply that Ge Shuqin and Li Xuewu were not very familiar. After all, no matter how much acquaintances didn't talk, the relationship could be seen.

Ge Shuqin also didn't expect Li Xuewu to care about her. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Xuewu, and answered cautiously, "Personnel gave me leave. My body is better, so I came to work."

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Xuewu, pinched her fingers, and said, "Thank you for your care, I've caused you trouble."

"Trouble is not trouble, still have to pay attention to your body, especially since the child is young."

Li Xuewu nodded and asked, "Who is coaxing the child? Third Master's wife?"

Don't look at the Li family not getting along with the opposite door, don't look at the Yan family couple being that kind of virtue, don't look at Li Xuewu not living in the courtyard now, and his status being high, but when it comes to it, they still have to be called neighbors.

This is a quality of being a person. It's impossible to call names. After all, they are in the same courtyard and are Ge Shuqin's mother-in-law.

Another point is that Li Xuewu taking care of Ge Shuqin is not entirely because of her, but also because of Yan Jiecheng and that child.

If you want Li Xuewu to bully someone, he can clean them up until they want to die.

But truly facing a childhood friend who wasn't a childhood sweetheart, and someone who had the experience of working together, who died unexpectedly, especially leaving behind a small child, no matter how much he looked down on Ge Shuqin and the Yan family, he had to help as much as he could.

Ge Shuqin could feel the sincerity in Li Xuewu's words. She lowered her head and replied, "No... Yan Jiefang is coaxing him. My mother-in-law is busy."

"Yan Jiefang can coax the child—?"

Li Xuewu sized her up and asked, "What is Third Master's wife busy with? Not even having time to look after her granddaughter? Shen Guodong told me Yan Jiefang is following people to collect scrap, right?"

"... Yes..."

Ge Shuqin gripped her fingers tightly. Facing Li Xuewu's inquiry, she hesitated and hesitated. She didn't know how to answer.

Li Xuewu looked at her and frowned, "With Yan Jiefang's legs, he still carries the child out to work?"

"Yes, he is coaxing him."

At this moment, everyone else's ears in the room pricked up, as if they had heard some complex gossip.

It's easiest and most willing to spread this in the agency, completely as a seasoning for work leisure.

Ge Shuqin didn't talk about these things with colleagues, and didn't think about mentioning them.

She just wanted to work hard, earn money to support her family, and didn't expect Li Xuewu to ask them out in front of her colleagues.

But she couldn't not answer. The hesitation just now was a struggle in her heart. Now that it was all leaked, she just said it all.

"It's been a month. When I came to work, he followed to collect scrap. My mother-in-law isn't willing to coax the child, so he has to take him."

"Actually, it's okay. I feed him morning and evening. Sometimes he and the child come to the factory at noon. Usually, I feed milk powder, which is considered manageable, after all, the weather has warmed up."

Hearing her talk about these things, the colleagues who were working in the office calmed down, and there were no more strange and exploratory thoughts.

People who have suffered like this, who would have the heart to tease and joke?

Li Xuewu nodded, sized her up, and asked, "What work are you arranged to do?"

"Just logistics. My cultural level is limited, and there isn't much work I can do."

Ge Shuqin said frankly, "It's good to be in logistics. The work isn't very tiring, and I can handle it."

"Hmm, okay, very good."

Li Xuewu saw that they had finished organizing the documents behind, and sat back in his chair.

"Alright, you all busy."

"Thank you, leader."

Ge Shuqin responded and went to be busy again. The colleagues who had looked at her with that kind of look just now didn't have any strangeness or exploration.

She didn't expect that telling the truth wouldn't cause everyone's disgust and hatred.

No matter in which era, a widowed sister-in-law and a brother-in-law being together will eventually be criticized.

Especially since she had just been widowed and had such a scene, she was even more inferior in her heart.

But fate was like this, not allowing her to have any resistance. Being able to live was luck.

She was no longer the rebellious little sister from the steel city, nor the bad woman when she first came to Beijing. Now she was a mother of a child and the pillar of a family.

At the beginning, if Yan Jiefang hadn't helped her, she would have died. Now if she didn't help Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiefang would have died. Fate seemed to have long regarded teasing her as a kind of retribution.

At the beginning, her debauchery and willfulness were all found back, making her regret and understand how stupid she was at the beginning.

There were many documents in the office. The six of them organized them for nearly an hour before finishing.

During this period, someone came to Li Xuewu to report work, someone came to coordinate applications, and there were also phone calls.

Several people also happened to have this opportunity to feel the busyness of the leader at close range.

They still had several periods of rest and small breaks when working, but they saw Li Xuewu had been busy all the time, which was much busier than them.

Peng Xiaoli said "hard work" politely and sent them away. He returned to the office and reported to Li Xuewu, "A phone call from outside, saying they stopped Nie Xiaoguang and are bringing him over."

"Hmm, can't squat anymore and want to leave?"

Li Xuewu hummed, finished reading the documents in his hand, looked up, and said, "You arrange it. The Ge Shuqin who was busy here just now, transfer her to the duty room to do the work of answering the phone."

Peng Xiaoli looked at him with some surprise, not knowing why he arranged this person's work.

"Okay, leader, I'll talk to Director Sun and arrange it."

"Hmm, Sun Jian should know her situation. She is Yan Jiecheng's wife. The child is very small, and she almost died of hemorrhage during production."

Li Xuewu explained, nodded, and said, "There's nothing wrong with logistics, it's just hard work, and it's inconvenient to take care of the child."

"Her family situation is very special, take care of her more. Working in the duty room can also take care of the child."

"Okay, leader, I understand." Peng Xiaoli nodded, "I will explain clearly to Director Sun. I will report to you after the arrangement is made."

They were talking when there was a knock on the door. Security reported that the person had been brought.

Li Xuewu tilted his head and looked at the door. Good fellow, the Heng and Ha generals had arrived.

How did Nie Xiaoguang get together with Zhao Xia?
