Chapter 1086: The Feeling of Winning Big

"Oh my—how did you get like this?"

As soon as Li Xuewu entered the house, Liu Yin looked at the mud spots on her son and his rag-like clothes and shouted in surprise: "Did you go to the mud pit to roll?"

"I'm not a pig, why would I roll in the mud pit? Hahaha—"

Li Xuewu laughed, took off his shirt and pants at the entrance, and walked inside wearing only his big shorts, bare-chested.

Actually, the big shorts were also soaked, just without mud water, so he wasn't afraid of bringing dirt into the house.

"Ah! What's going on! You two... what did you go do!" Qin Jingru, who came out of the kitchen after hearing the movement, was stunned looking at Han Jiankun, who was also a mud monkey.

Han Jiankun lowered his head with a bitter smile. He had been harmed miserably by Li Xuewu. He was definitely going to be scolded today.

Li Xuewu told him last night to wear better clothes, saying they were going to the club to play and go dancing at the International Hotel in the afternoon.

And look! He had been cheated so miserably!

These were the clothes Qin Jingru had just made for him, brand new. He had originally thought about dancing, but now it was all over; they were too dirty to even be used as rags.

"Come in! Why are you standing there like a fool? Aren't you cold!" Li Xuewu was about to go upstairs when he saw Han Jiankun still standing at the entrance awkwardly, not saying a word.

He pointed to the bathroom on the first floor and said: "You take off the clothes on your body first, take a hot shower, and I'll find a set for you to wear first."

After finishing, he said to his mother and Qin Jingru, who were stunned: "It's a bit cold. Let's talk after we finish washing. Prepare a few more dishes tonight, I'm hungry."

"What the hell—"

Seeing Han Jiankun standing at the entrance awkwardly taking off his clothes, Qin Jingru felt a bit distressed looking at the mud all over his body.

It wasn't that she felt distressed about a set of new clothes; she could see that Han Jiankun, like Li Xuewu, had had his clothes soaked through long ago, and they must have been soaked for a long time.

"Went for disaster relief. There was a big flood outside the Dongcheng, and the leader was directing on the front line..."

After Han Jiankun took off his clothes, he followed Qin Jingru to the bathroom on the first floor and explained to her in a low voice.

"What disaster relief? Didn't you say you were going to the club to handle things when you went out in the morning?"

Qin Jingru put hot water for him in the bathroom and asked with a frown: "How long have you been wet? It hasn't been a whole day, has it!"

She had just seen it; the clothes on his upper body were full of mud spots, but they were already half-dry.

Han Jiankun scratched his head, stood under the shower, and said with a bitter smile: "After going out in the morning, we arrived at the Third Guard Regiment, and then rushed to the outside of the Dongcheng."

"Are you stupid! He's a leader, of course he has to go to the front line. You're a driver, why are you rushing forward? Are you showing off?"

Qin Jingru complained while helping him wash his back: "Are you competing for advanced status or competing for commendation?"

She said, and Han Jiankun listened until she stopped. Only then did he explain helplessly: "The leader went down, so how could I sit in the car."

"Besides, do you think there was no water in the car? That water was very deep. The places we went to were waist-deep at the deepest! Even if I were in the car... why are you crying?"

Han Jiankun was explaining when he turned his head and saw Qin Jingru's tears falling down.

He couldn't laugh or cry and raised his hand to help her wipe them, but Qin Jingru turned her face and hid.

"You only think of yourself, you only think of being a hero, you didn't think of our mother and child?"

Qin Jingru slapped his hand away and complained while crying while helping him wash the mud off his body: "If there was any accident, what would I do, how would Mom live?"

"Oh—it's fine now, besides, I'm not stupid, how would I take risks."

He reached out to help his wife wipe her tears and said: "It's just passing a word for the leader, holding an umbrella, or taking a map, not dangerous."

"Still saying it!" Qin Jingru slapped him and said: "Do you think I haven't seen waist-deep water? Even a calf could be washed away, let alone a person. Does the flood care if you're holding an umbrella!"

"Got it, got it, I'll pay attention next time, stop crying."

Han Jiankun knew he couldn't win against her, and if he insisted, there would still be no result, so he quickly made a guarantee. Anyway, he would still have to get out of the car next time.

Qin Jingru was just scared, and now she was comforted by him, and her mood eased.

"Wait, I'll go help you get clothes!"

Even if she was angry, this was her man, her sky, so she had to serve him.

Otherwise, why would Han Jiankun let her have her way everywhere? Mutual understanding, that's all.

"Jingru," Gu Ning came down from the stairs, holding a stack of clothes in her hands, and said: "The underwear is new, the outer clothes are newly washed, they might be a bit big."

"It's okay, wear it temporarily, just make do." Qin Jingru wanted to be angry with Han Jiankun, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of Li Xuewu's family.

Li Xuewu taking Han Jiankun out for disaster relief could be considered work, so what could she say.

Gu Ning pointed upstairs and said: "He asked to make another soup, saying he had been soaked in water all day."

"Just now he said to make two more dishes," Qin Jingru pursed her lips and asked: "Not keeping in good health anymore?"

"Just listen to him, what kind of health keeping is that."

Gu Ning patted her arm and instructed: "Tell Jiankun to wash carefully with soap, be careful of fungi in the sewage, it will be troublesome if infected."

"Hmm, I know." Qin Jingru smiled while holding the clothes in her hands: "Thank you, Sister Xiao Ning."

"What are you thanking for, hurry up, I still have to watch the child upstairs." Gu Ning smiled and gestured upstairs.

Qin Jingru watched her go upstairs, then hugged the clothes and went to the bathroom, instructing Han Jiankun to wash carefully.

Is river water dirty?

It's dirty, but not as dirty as urban drainage sewage. The water plants in the river have the function of washing and purifying sewage, but the urban drainage sewage is too dirty, exceeding the river's bearing capacity.

Not to mention drainage sewage, even if you walk barefoot on the road on a rainy day, people with low resistance can easily get athlete's foot.

Li Xuewu upstairs was much more delicate than Han Jiankun, and even wanted Gu Ning to take alcohol to wipe his whole body for disinfection. Gu Ning couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

This person was good at everything, but two things were the most unreliable: speaking and cherishing life.

If you want to grind teeth with him, he can play you to death. He is best at talking nonsense with a straight face.

But if you ignore his life, he will definitely get angry with you, as if he is very afraid of any accidents.

"Did you bring it back?"

Li Xuewu opened the bathroom door and glanced at Gu Ning who came in: "Hurry up and give it to me."

"Are you really going to do this?"

Gu Ning speechless handed him a bottle of alcohol, and handed him tweezers and cotton.

She reminded: "Actually, washing well with soap won't have any big problems."

"You doctors always say that, no big problems, no big problems, and what's the result?"

Li Xuewu muttered while preparing the disinfection tools, muttering: "Even if something happens, I haven't seen any doctor pay with their life. It's still us poor patients who carry everything..."

"Oh, is it that necessary—!"

Gu Ning glanced at him and said: "It's just soaking in sewage, look at how you're exaggerating, those who don't know would think you soaked in a virus pool."

"You say me? I'm not doing it for your own good! Really, you're still a doctor!"

Li Xuewu prepared the cotton ball dipped in alcohol, turned his head to look at Gu Ning and asked: "Did you tell Han Jiankun? After I finish disinfecting here, he should also disinfect."

"Go tell him yourself—!"

Gu Ning glared at him and said: "You're messing around yourself, and you want to drag others to mess around with you?"

"Sigh—I really feel that my knowledge reserve in medical skills is stronger than yours!"

Li Xuewu pointed to the bottom with tweezers and said: "This is the only organ in our body without a protection system, it's very easy to get injured and infected!"

After finishing, he grinned, and while disinfecting his younger brother, he muttered: "You're just a surgeon, where would you be as knowledgeable as me..."

Gu Ning's eyes gradually became sharp in the bedroom. This bastard actually dared to doubt her medical skills?

"You're very knowledgeable in medical skills, right?"

Gu Ning walked into the bathroom, gritted her teeth and said: "Come, let me help you disinfect—!"

"No need! What are you doing! Gu Ning! Ah!"

"Leader, why is your face so red?"

At the dinner table, Qin Jingru asked a question that shouldn't be asked, and was glared at by Han Jiankun after asking.

Li Xuewu's mouth twitched, he didn't look at Gu Ning, just buried his head in drinking and eating.

What to look at? Look at her triumphant eyes?

How a surgeon disinfects, he knows now. Using a cotton swab to disinfect him in the south was considered gentle.

"Drink, drink, drink to disinfect."

Li Xuewu took a sip of depressed wine and instructed Han Jiankun sitting diagonally opposite.

After going downstairs, he pulled Han Jiankun aside and told him a few words, and handed the other party a bottle of alcohol and cotton balls, telling him he had to disinfect.

Han Jiankun was almost broken by his medical knowledge, until he heard Li Xuewu say he had also disinfected, only then did he go to the bathroom with suspicion.

The result was... really stimulating!

Li Xuewu's medical skill is great because his theoretical research on disinfection is quite thorough.

External elimination and internal killing, use alcohol on the skin surface, and then take half a catty of white wine internally to completely extinguish the hope of survival for fungi and bacteria.

If possible, Li Xuewu even thought about soaking himself in a wine vat.

When Han Jiankun came out of the bathroom, he was numb, as if he had lost his nerves.

He really couldn't understand why the leader was so afraid of sewage, so afraid of infection, or rather, so afraid of... death, why was he so decisive at that time?

Han Jiankun was at the scene. When Li Xuewu jumped off the car and walked into the knee-deep water, he didn't see him have a trace of hesitation or delay.

So now the question is, is Li Xuewu afraid of death, or not afraid of death?

Li Xuewu's answer is, he is afraid of not dying.

Fungal infection isn't something that can be solved by simple antibiotics. Some fungi can't be killed by antibiotics and will recur from time to time.

Just think, athlete's foot is a fungus. It's been so many years and I haven't seen anyone say they can cure athlete's foot.

"I said today that there wouldn't be internal flooding with such heavy rain, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Liu Yin shook her head and sighed while feeding Li Shu: "Our side is actually fine, next to the sea, and the drainage is good."

"The inner city is fine. The drainage system in the outer city isn't perfect. Tree branches or garbage will block the water ditch, causing drainage difficulties and forming internal flooding."

Li Xuewu drank a sip of hot soup, only feeling that he was going to sweat all over. This was the result he wanted.

When he came out of the Third Guard Regiment, he had already instructed logistics not to limit the time at the bathhouse, and that they should sweat before coming out.

The food in the cafeteria this evening was very rich, it was pork sent from the district, for reward and extra meals.

Li Xuewu didn't stay there, but let Han Jiankun notify Shen Guodong to pull three buckets of white wine over.

100-catty rubber buckets, a full 300 catties of loose burning, everyone could get one or two taels.

Of course, they weren't allowed to drink too much, and even less allowed to drink excessively. Today's situation was special, so except for those on combat readiness, everyone who went out on field duty today could drink.

Li Xuewu didn't let logistics write off this wine, nor did he let the neighborhood office and the district write it off. It was purely calculated on the recycling station's account, as a consolation gift from the recycling station.

"Saw Guodong in the afternoon. Nothing happened on our side. Just didn't drive the cars, all stayed at home to tidy up hygiene and maintain the cars."

Li Xuewu knew his mother was worried about home, so while eating, he introduced the situation at home.

"What about Yuxiu? Not on duty today, right?"

Liu Yin turned her head and glanced at her son: "I'm afraid your eldest brother will return home on Sunday and encounter heavy rain, which will be dangerous."

"Yuxiu is resting today. As for my eldest brother, you don't have to worry about him. He cherishes his life even more than I do!"

Li Xuewu finished a bowl of rice, stood up to go to the kitchen to add rice, and joked: "Don't say heavy rain, even if it's drizzling, he won't go home!"

This wasn't mysterious at all. Look at Li Xuewu, who cherishes his life, Li Xuewen cherishes his life even more than Li Xuewu.

He was a person who didn't want to be touched by any danger. If he had a cut on his body, he would definitely have to disinfect it with alcohol, and then grin and hiss.

Unless he encountered a strong enemy, the brothers wouldn't move their hands together at all. Li Xuewen disliked Li Xuewu for being too violent, and Li Xuewu disliked Li Xuewen for being too slow.

"Do you know what kind of delicate life my eldest brother lives in the First Detention Center?"

Li Xuewu laughed and told his mother: "Our family has practiced medicine for generations. Even if we had a small clinic before, we were never rich."

"But if you go to the First Detention Center to see my eldest brother now, it's purely the life of a young master!"

He raised his eyebrows: "Clothes come to reach out, food comes to open the mouth, it's a bit mysterious, but someone washes the clothes, and after washing and drying, they have to be folded and sent to the room!"

"Don't even go to the cafeteria to eat. Someone is specially assigned to bring the lunch box to his hand. You definitely haven't enjoyed that kind of treatment. That's really a young master of the Li family!"

"Go—! Editing your eldest brother like this!"

Liu Yin smiled and said: "That kind of place can't be that good. I don't believe anyone can be a young master in the detention center!"

"Hey! Wait until one day I take you to see it, I guarantee you'll want to stay for a few days after seeing it!"

Li Xuewu joked: "Do you really think my eldest brother can't come home? Who in their school still remembers him, who still pays attention to him!"

"He is completely happy and forgets home, dislikes the children at home for being noisy, and runs over there to hide for quiet!"

"If it's really as you say, the detention center has become a big mansion? Or a big hotel?!"

Liu Yin fed Li Shu until she was full, picked up her chopsticks and ate herself, while Li Shu played at the edge of the table.

She shook her head slightly and said: "I know your eldest brother's living conditions are okay, he looks fat."

"I'm thinking, your eldest brother is inherently introverted, and usually he wants to drill into books. This not going home..."

"Don't worry, it's temporary. Can I let him hide for quiet in the First Detention Center for a lifetime?"

Li Xuewu comforted his mother: "Rest assured, my eldest brother's psychology is healthy. He is not introverted, he looks down on people who can't understand what he says."

"Hey! Xuewen eldest brother really seems to have this meaning you said!"

Qin Jingru smiled and interjected: "He speaks very gently, but gives people a feeling of being aloof."

"A scholar, after all, scholars are mostly aloof!"

Li Xuewu's evaluation of his eldest brother was always sharp and direct, which made his mother smile and pat him again.

"However, my eldest brother is not high-minded. His aloofness is for scientific knowledge, and it is also a habit and character for learning knowledge."

He explained: "There are scholars who pretend to be high-minded. If you talk about money with him, it seems to stain his personality. But if you follow him to the vegetable market, he can haggle with people about this vegetable not being fresh, and that vegetable being expensive."

"My eldest brother is not this kind of person. His cognition of money or enjoyment is very clear, otherwise, he could hand over money to my eldest sister-in-law, and then enjoy my eldest sister-in-law's care?"

Li Xuewu looked at Qin Jingru, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Actually, my eldest brother is the smartest in our family, and he also lives the most freely."

"Uh—it seems, it's really like this!"

Qin Jingru looked at Han Jiankun with a suspicious look. This person was someone who handed over his salary to her as soon as he got married, and then became a hands-off shopkeeper.

Now, whenever there is something at home, she is the one running around. This person is like a young master following behind and beating a gong.

Han Jiankun saw her suspicious eyes drifting over and just showed a simple and honest expression, indicating I don't know anything, what's wrong?

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Xuewen doesn't have so many thoughts and twists—"

Liu Yin glanced at her son and said: "Our family has the most tricks, you. When you were young, you had to measure with a ruler when dividing apples with your brother! If it was off by a little, you had to bite off a mouthful!"

"Why don't I remember such a thing?"

Li Xuewu laughed: "I only know my brother took me out to do bad things, and then went home to pretend to be a good person to you, and blamed all the mistakes on me."

"All are little monkeys! The courtyard has you two naughty ones, your father gets angry looking at you."

Liu Yin smiled and explained: "Xuewen pretending to be a good person is because he is afraid of being beaten, and blaming the mistakes on you is because he thinks you are small, and your father can't bear to beat you."

"Ah! So I should be the scapegoat because I'm young! My eldest brother is still smarter than me!"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "But it's also true that he is lazy. He went to the backyard to steal sand fruits from the Sun family and let me steal them, and then he waited outside the big wall, saying he was too lazy to climb the wall, and even lazier to pick them."

"Really fun, I didn't have these when I was young, just watched my younger brothers." Qin Jingru praised enviously: "It's still better to have many brothers, they can help each other when they grow up."

When she was talking, she also glanced at Han Jiankun. Han Jiankun received her look and only felt the pressure was huge.

Qin Jingru only heard the fun things between Li Xuewu and his eldest brother, and didn't hear the annoying things about Li Shun's uncle. If she really gave birth to a pile of children with him, wouldn't she become Li Shun's uncle's situation back then?

Really, for the sake of fun, not caring about my life!

"Morning, Leader!"

"Morning, Leader!"

Early in the morning, as soon as he went to work, Li Xuewu responded to the greetings of his comrades while explaining today's work to Peng Xiaoli.

Monday, there's a lot to do. The leaders are all back, and there's going to be an office meeting.

Before, he didn't manage many businesses, and there weren't many meetings, but now, there are meetings every day.

Fortunately, there isn't that set of "sea of documents and mountain of meetings" at this time, otherwise he wouldn't have to do anything else, just work and go to work in the conference room.

"Hey, Leader, were you the one who led the team to the Dongcheng yesterday?"

On the third floor, Sun Jian came out of the comprehensive office and happened to bump into them, so he smiled and confirmed: "I seem to have seen your car."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Don't mention it, soaked for a whole day. I was planning to go out to play, but didn't expect to find the water rising as soon as I went out. Does your home live outside the Dongcheng? Is it okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, our home is on high ground."

Sun Jian nodded to Peng Xiaoli and reported to Li Xuewu as he walked: "Sent by Director Ding, the city's approval for the Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone has come down."

"Quite fast, haha—"

Li Xuewu took it and looked at it. The time point was today, it should be approved and issued on the spot.

Zhongjing Office Letter 【1967】 No. 42: Decided that the 【C-31】 area of the Liangma River Industrial Zone is responsible for construction and management by the Red Star Rolling Mill, used to create an ecological industrial demonstration zone.

"Leader, does this document mark that the Red Star Rolling Mill's Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone has entered the stage of large-scale construction from now on?"

"Don't be happy too soon!"

Li Xuewu raised his head and glanced at him, put the document aside, sat in the chair and said: "The difficulties have just begun."

"What I told you, how is the matter of propaganda contacting Beijing newspapers?"

"Replied to us this morning, saying that the article has been pushed over and is being urgently reviewed."

Sun Jian stood by the table, bent over slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Will it be blocked?"

"Wouldn't it be better if it were blocked?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows indifferently and said: "This matter itself is just a focus of attention for the staff of the Red Star Factory and surrounding factories."

"You mean..." Sun Jian understood and replied: "If the city blocks it, that will become a public opinion that hinders the implementation of policy?"

"Haha—I really want to operate it like this!"

Li Xuewu smiled lightly, pointed to the document on the table, and then shook his head: "Unfortunately, the city won't do that. They aren't that stupid."

"Another thing, we always have to eat in other people's territory in the future, so let's save some face for each other."

He pushed the document aside and said: "Tell the Engineering Office and the Propaganda Office that I want to set up a big sign where Mr. Z inspected!"

"The requirement is high, big, the bigger the better,"

Li Xuewu pointed at Sun Jian and instructed: "Draw the future bird's-eye view of the Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone on it, and make it high enough to be seen within one kilometer!"

"Okay, Leader, but..." Sun Jian agreed first, then asked softly: "Isn't it a bit too high-profile?"

"This is high-profile? It's you who are too conservative! My comrade!"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Being a person can learn the way of the mean, restrained and not raised, but doing things must be open and aboveboard, righteous and confident."

He took the document handed over by Peng Xiaoli and said while reading: "We are not stealing or robbing to engage in an ecological industrial zone, what is there to be sneaky about? Go, arrange it like this."

"Yes! I'll go call the Engineering and Propaganda departments to contact and implement your opinion as soon as possible!"

Sun Jian agreed and was about to go out, but heard Li Xuewu tap the table lightly: "Leader?"

Li Xuewu looked at him and nodded, full of questioning: "I don't need to emphasize what should be paid attention to, right?"

"Yes, propaganda intensity and scale, engineering standards and safety, don't worry."

Sun Jian knew Li Xuewu's style of doing things quite well. He pays attention to safety in everything he does, especially attaching great importance to life safety and accidents.

Li Xuewu nodded, signaling he could leave, and lowered his head to read the document.

It was about an hour or so, Peng Xiaoli came in to remind him that it was time to go to the meeting.

Li Xuewu raised his hand to look at the time and sighed: "Why did it pass so fast?"

After finishing, he drank a sip of tea, carried his notebook, and got up to walk out. There was an office meeting in the morning and a trade economic docking meeting in the afternoon today.

He had really grasped all the work of the Security Group now. Even if he wanted to grasp specific work, he didn't have time. It was going to tire a person to death.

Of course, this might also be one of the purposes Old Li's personnel layout wanted to achieve.

It might also be that Old Li wanted to cultivate him. After all, no matter how well a Security Group leader does, he can't become a deputy director of the Management Committee. He must be responsible for a factory and a comprehensive business unit.

Basically, if you don't go to a branch factory to be the number one person, it's very difficult to be directly promoted to a deputy position of factory leader, unless seniority and time are enough to make up for the lack of front-line management.

However, according to Li Xuewu's thinking, Old Li is playing "covering up" and "boiling a frog in warm water" with him now, not daring to unload his "gun" quickly, but wanting to ensure he can't shoot randomly.

Especially the best state of this gun is to be placed in a holster, which not only has a deterrent effect but also ensures safety without having to bear any responsibility.

Dong Wenxue has been in the steel rolling mill for more than a year, and Li Xuewu has also been in this position for more than a year, including other related positions. Old Li has to make subsequent arrangements for these middle-level managers.

In the past, of course, he and other members of the team discussed it well and handed it over to the Organization Department and Personnel Department for inspection.

But now he doesn't have exclusive power, he has the decision-making power of a pen, so he wants gentle personnel adjustments that don't cause trouble.

Li Xuewu is also hesitant now, not knowing if he can sit in the position of Security Group leader.

With the

As opportunities and developments continue to emerge within the factory, it is highly likely that he will need to transition through other departments before going to the steel mill.

Moving from deputy division level to division level is a hurdle, and it is inevitably very difficult to clear this hurdle in one's original unit.

Especially for a young cadre like Li Xuewu, who has little experience, he should accumulate more work experience.

Therefore, the Security Section has now basically entered the post-Li Xuewu era.

Even though he has not yet become the official head of the Security Section, his era actually began long ago.

And in the Security Section of the post-Li Xuewu era, the person playing an important functional role is Yu De.

Having walked all the way from Director of the Comprehensive Office to the position of Deputy Section Head, his rank has also reached the deputy division level.

But the possibility of him succeeding Li Xuewu is very low; what is being referred to here is authority, not position.

Speaking of positions, both are actually deputy section heads, but Li Xuewu is responsible for the main work in terms of authority, coordinating the overall work of the Security Section.

Once Li Xuewu is transferred to another department to transition into a division head position, Yu De is very likely to become the executive deputy section head of the Security Section, which is the so-called first deputy section head, but it is unlikely he will go any further.

So Old Li's layout was revealed all at once, striking directly at the vital point of Dong Wenxue's line; he is betting that Li Xuewu will not cling to temporary control and abandon the fast track to promotion.

Even if Li Xuewu wanted to remain and be promoted to head of the Security Section, Dong Wenxue would not agree.

At that time, the position of the number one person in the Security Section will be decided by Li Huai De, and he has left Yu De for Dong Wenxue's line; he is the final face-saving measure.

Dong Wenxue returns to the factory, Li Xuewu goes down to the steel mill; this is a tacit understanding the three of them have long had.

Dong Wenxue returning to the factory will become an important support for Li Huai De, but he will definitely not control such great power again; he also needs a buffer.

Running a marathon of officialdom always requires a rest before getting back on the road; Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu both need to let off some steam, which has affected Gu Weijie and Jing Yunong.

At that time, this vaguely united network of relationships will develop loopholes and slack, which is the best period for Old Li to fully intervene in personnel adjustments.

Some say that enterprise management is like boiling a pot of porridge; too slow won't do, too fast won't do, too much heat won't do, too little heat won't do either; you must have patience and master the heat, otherwise you will never eat well.

Third floor, small conference room.

All important decisions of the Red Star Factory are discussed and formed in this inconspicuous conference room.

The decoration inside the conference room is very simple; even the conference table is made of desks pieced together, covered with a velvet tablecloth, with a thermos and teacups placed on top.

Today is the routine Monday office meeting, but it is also the mid-month meeting, and it is the first office meeting since the factory's deputy-level leadership team returned from visiting and exchanging ideas in other provinces, so there is a long meeting agenda.

First, Li Huai De, who presided over the meeting, spoke about earnestly studying and implementing the spirit of the higher-level ideological education document instructions, and only then did the formal meeting begin.

The site selection and investment construction of the twelve offices of the Trade Management Center, the implementation of cooperation with the Iron and Steel Institute to build an educational structure, specific measures for the equipment upgrade and renovation of the shipyard, the overall planning ideas for the cooperation plan to build a financial system with the credit union, and with the textile factory...

The agenda items are gone through one by one, discussed very carefully and seriously; the responsible leader gives the main opinion and explanation, other leaders in charge provide supplements, and finally, the team members speak and discuss.

When the Management Committee meets, only personnel with the qualifications of Party Committee members can attend or sit in on the meeting.

Li Xuewu is the only one among the members sitting in on the meeting who sat at the core conference table.

Very specially, his position is on the right-hand side of Li Huai De; in the past, this was the position of the executive deputy, but no one at Red Star Factory has any objections.

"The last agenda item, let's talk about the Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone."

Li Huai De looked at everyone and said: "Just when several team comrades went to various provinces to carry out exchange activities, Comrade Xuewu and I met with city leaders and negotiated this matter."

He gestured toward Li Xuewu and said: "It was very difficult, it can be said that we didn't give an inch, fought for every inch of land, and talked Deputy Director Liu until he was about to get angry."

"Hahaha—"

Everyone let out knowing laughter, knowing that Li Xuewu's way of speaking is relatively sharp, especially at the negotiating table; they have heard this kind of remark several times already.

From Red Star Factory's layout of tertiary industries to joint industries, basically every project has had Li Xuewu's help and attention.

A Security Section head, yet doing the work of an executive deputy director coordinating economy, trade, and production.

Of course, Li Xuewu doesn't want to do this either, but who made Li Huai De require him to do so.

"Getting angry won't work either; even if it's one cent, that is the one cent of the 32,000 employees of Red Star Factory; we have no right to throw it away to curry favor."

Li Huai De said seriously: "I don't oppose integrating resources and merging sixteen industrial enterprises, because if Red Star Factory wants to develop and grow, it must inevitably feed back into urban industry and broaden the scope of industry."

"Industry can be compatible and broadened, but the thinking cannot be chaotic, and the mindset cannot be scattered!"

He gently patted the table on his right with his right hand and said: "On this point, Comrade Xuewu has taken responsibility and won for us the most appropriate division of responsibility and industrial processing plan."

"Comrade Xuewu, introduce the specific integration plan to the comrades."

"Okay, leader, next I will report to the leaders and comrades on the specific construction plan and implementation details of the Liangma River Ecological Industrial Zone."

Li Xuewu emphasized jokingly: "I'll add an aside here; actually, Deputy Director Liu in the city was angry because he was angered by Director Li."

"Hahaha—!"

Everyone let out a more cheerful laugh than the previous burst, which perfectly set off the overall atmosphere of today's meeting; the feeling of winning big is really great.

"Regarding the opinion on approving the Red Star Steel Rolling Factory to build a demonstration ecological industrial zone in the Liangma River area..."

Li Xuewu first read the city's reply to the industrial zone construction application, and only then began to introduce the disposal plan proposed by both sides.

When hearing that Red Star Factory would merge another 56,000 people by the end of this year, Jing Yunong frowned.

But when she heard that these 56,000 people were considered seconded, and that the relocation and worker resettlement funds for the sixteen factories were to be deducted from the merger funds, she relaxed her brows.

But when she heard Li Xuewu say that 40% of the merger funds had to be paid to the city first, she frowned again.

But when she heard Li Xuewu say that three years later, the city's new steel rolling factory would prioritize accepting the existing personnel of Red Star Steel Rolling Factory who could not move with the factory, and that the subsequent resettlement problem of this batch of merged personnel would not need to be the responsibility of Red Star Factory, her brows relaxed again.

Therefore, during Li Xuewu's reporting stage, Jing Yunong's brows frowned and relaxed, frowned and relaxed, in a very coordinated rhythm.

It wasn't until the end that Jing Yunong realized Li Xuewu's wickedness; this bastard wrote the material like this on purpose, right? Treating a report like a novel, and even making it ups and downs, is it fascinating?

"Paid at a rate of 40%, can the remaining amount satisfy demolition, reconstruction, and resettlement?"

After Li Xuewu finished his report, Xue Zhifu asked: "This doesn't even include the valuation of the steel rolling factory's production machinery and equipment."

"Uh... this still depends on how Deputy Director Jing calculates it."

Li Xuewu did not answer Xue Zhifu's question directly, but gestured to Jing Yunong sitting diagonally opposite and said: "If Deputy Director Jing loosens the ruler a bit, the city might still be able to get some money."

"So your meaning is, if I tighten the ruler, the city will have to pay extra?"

Jing Yunong saw him dragging the problem onto her, glanced at him, and asked: "When did I have this ruler? Tighten it when you say so, loosen it when you say so."

"Hehe, this is just an analogy!" Li Xuewu said with a light laugh: "After all, I am not a professional financial audit and property valuation person."

"If it were up to me, I'd just balance the books with the remaining 60% of the funds; anyway, looking at Deputy Director Liu's meaning, he didn't intend to get it back."

"Hahaha—!"

Xue Zhifu and the others finally understood his meaning; he just wanted to play dirty, didn't intend to share any money with the city at all, but was embarrassed to say so, so he folded it onto Jing Yunong.

When people from the city come to ask for money, he can also say that this was all done by Deputy Director Jing, and it has absolutely nothing to do with him.

Goodness, he plays the good guy, and others do the bad things; he's really cunning.

Jing Yunong is not one to suffer losses either, and she has a relatively deep understanding of Li Xuewu.

She pointed at Li Xuewu at this moment and said: "Fine, with these words of yours, that's enough; when the city asks later, I'll say it was your opinion."

"My opinion doesn't matter, as long as the city thinks I can make this decision."

Li Xuewu joked: "Later you can say it was me pressing your abacus beads to force the accounts to balance, no problem!"

"Hahaha—!"

The meeting is basically over now, and the atmosphere of the venue has become lively.

Everyone watched Jing Yunong suffer a loss, staring at Li Xuewu as if wanting to curse, and couldn't help but laugh.

The secretaries standing at the door of the conference room were also stunned when they heard the laughter coming from inside.

What's going on, isn't this an office meeting, how did it become a teahouse!

Jing Yunong suffered a loss because who would believe Li Xuewu said that? Ah, what did she do to let Li Xuewu press her abacus to balance the accounts, could people in the city believe it?

Don't say Li Huai De didn't speak, he gave this opportunity to Li Xuewu; it turns out he was thinking of framing her, letting her take the blame for the accounting, so as not to look bad in front of the city.

That's right, she is the leader in charge of financial work, isn't the accounting scale in her hands?

Li Huai De was embarrassed to speak, so he let Li Xuewu speak; Li Xuewu couldn't just force it, so he took a detour and wrapped her into it.

This bastard—! Are you closer to Old Li, or closer to me!

Coming out of the conference room, the faces of several leaders still wore smiles that had not yet dissipated.

Seeing the secretary standing at the door scratching his head, urgently wanting to know what was just discussed in the venue, that it was so funny.

"It's settled with the credit union, the cooperation agreement will be signed externally on the 24th, right here in our factory area."

Jing Yunong instructed Li Xuewu who came out behind her: "You come to preside over the on-site work at that time."

"How do I have the qualifications to preside over this, it still has to be you presiding for it to be good."

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "Second Auto is talking tomorrow, and there is a meeting at the Beijing Railway Station transport station the day after tomorrow; I really can't get away."

"A bear breaking corn!" Jing Yunong glanced at him and reminded him meaningfully: "Do your own work well, don't get dizzy from being busy."

"Look, Deputy Director Jing is criticizing me, isn't she!" Li Xuewu just wanted to answer her seriously, but saw Li Huai De coming out, so he quickly changed his tone: "I just said this idea of yours would definitely make Deputy Director Jing anxious, now it's fine!"

Li Huai De was stunned, then laughed: "Oh! Li Xuewu, you really have a sharp tongue, when did I come up with this idea!"
