Chapter 1098: Xiao Jin's marriage is difficult

"Oh my—look who's here!" Liu Yin heard the car and greeted them at the door, catching her big grandson who got out of the car and greeting him, "It's my big grandson—"

"Mom, hold him steady, he's heavy."

Zhao Yafang reminded her with a smile, then helped the old lady get out of the car and went to get the packages in the car; those were Li Tang's personal luggage.

Liu Yin held the child and said with a smile, "He's really heavy. How long has it been since Grandma saw him? Why has he gained so much weight?"

"Eat when full, sleep when full."

The old lady smiled and tapped Li Tang's forehead, saying, "He's almost becoming a little piglet—"

"Old lady, sister-in-law."

Gu Ning welcomed them from the house holding Li Ning. Before she could step down the stairs, she was stopped by the old lady, who was afraid she wouldn't walk steadily and drop the child.

Li Shu wasn't afraid. Seeing her grandmother and aunt coming, she ran out of the foyer and shouted on the steps.

She was calling for her grandmother and aunt, but she shouted too fast and was too excited, and her words got tangled.

"Hahaha——"

"Giggle—hehe—"

Li Shu didn't realize what she had shouted after she finished, just looked at everyone laughing and followed suit.

After laughing, she felt something was wrong. Why was everyone looking at her and laughing?

She looked at everyone blankly, turned around somewhat embarrassed, and ran back to the foyer.

Liu Yin held the child, asked the old lady to enter the room first, and then brought the two daughters-in-law into the house. The women gathered together and had endless things to say.

Han Jiankun sent some things Zhao Yafang brought into the foyer and went to park the car.

Seeing the driver go out, the old lady looked around and didn't see Li Xuewu, so she asked, "Is Xuewu out busy again?"

"Upstairs, working."

Liu Yin explained and then invited them to sit in the living room. Qin Jingru brought out a plate of cherries, which were grown on the tree in the backyard.

"These are big fruits, very sweet." Liu Yin pinched one, broke it into small pieces, and sent it into her grandson's mouth to taste.

Li Tang was coming to his second uncle's house for the first time, looking around with big eyes, finding everything new.

Cherries are sweet, but there will be some fruity acid taste in the mouth.

Li Tang frowned at the taste in his mouth, then looked down at the red fruit in his grandmother's hand, curiously wanting to reach out and grab it.

"He knows he's greedy. He grabs the table when eating at home." The old lady teased Li Ning in Gu Ning's arms, "Is Li Ning greedy?"

"He doesn't know he wants to eat yet." Liu Yin helped her big grandson sit on the sofa and said, "A few days ago, I fed him a little millet paste, but he only ate two bites and stopped. Maybe he didn't like the taste."

"Look, little brother is here. Does he recognize little brother?"

The old lady looked at Li Ning and then at Li Tang, loving them no matter how she looked.

"One month apart, three jin apart."

Liu Yin patted her big grandson's butt and said with a smile, "Little brother is chubby, little brother is also chubby. Let's see who is chubbier when they grow up."

"Just watch, they won't be thin. Their bone frames are big. Xuewu and Xuewen follow their grandfather's wide bone frame. The two children are the same."

The old lady saw Li Shu squeezing over, so she held her in her arms and loved her, saying, "Only Xuecai and Li Xue have the Li family's small bone frame. They weren't fat when they were young, and they don't have meat on their faces when they grow up."

"At that time, there was no meat to eat. Where would there be meat? It almost exhausted their father to grow so tall." Liu Yin said with a smile, "Three big boys, one eats more than the other, grows taller, like crops that have been fertilized."

The women in the family gathered together and talked about the same few men: the old ones, the young ones, and the ones working.

On the second floor, Li Xuewu was on the phone.

It was a long-distance call from the Yingcheng Shipyard, and it was Xu Sinian.

"I really didn't do it on purpose. Who knows where he heard it."

Xu Sinian said helplessly on the phone, "How could I blabber about such things that haven't been decided yet to foreign businessmen?"

"Then investigate it! Investigate it clearly!"

Li Xuewu's voice was very serious, expressing his dissatisfaction, "The cooperation in Beijing has just been negotiated, and the internal meeting has just been held. Foreign businessmen far away in the Steel City know the content of the meeting."

"Old Xu, are you confused, or do you think our leaders are confused?"

Without waiting for Xu Sinian to explain, Li Xuewu emphasized, "If you don't investigate, the factory has already started investigating. You will be even more passive then."

"Investigate, investigate, I'll investigate, okay—"

Xu Sinian explained helplessly, "I also know the seriousness of this matter, but once this opening is made, I'm afraid someone will make waves. This is Yingcheng!"

"Who dares to make waves?" Li Xuewu frowned, "Peel their skin, pull their tendons, and see if they can still make waves."

"Sometimes you are too kind. Can enterprise management have a compassionate heart?"

Li Xuewu scolded on the phone, "If everyone is a good person, who will play the white-faced role?"

"Wei Tong has been transferred for a while. Ask him if he can do his job well. If he doesn't have the ability, let him roll back, and I'll arrange someone else for you!"

"Sigh—" Xu Sinian sighed and said, "This matter is my fault. I'm scared, and I don't dare to have big movements."

He said on the phone, "You don't know how tense the situation in Yingcheng is now. One hair moves the whole body."

"Then take this opportunity to kill the evil wind and evil spirit, so as not to accumulate resentment and become incurable." Li Xuewu said fiercely, "Tell Wei Tong to grab safety and supervision work hard."

"Don't be afraid of the factory's attitude. If you don't manage well, it's useless to say anything."

Li Xuewu warned, "No matter who the other party is, handle them first. This kind of thing is always a must-kill typical in our factory."

"I hate people who eat inside and out the most!"

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it later."

Xu Sinian said helplessly, "There is a management risk in transferring the laid-off personnel to the labor team. I'm afraid someone will make trouble."

"Can fear solve the problem?"

Li Xuewu emphasized, "Don't drag this matter. It must be done immediately. I want to see who is acting as a ghost. Catch them and send them to the shooting range!"

Hearing Li Xuewu's murderous words, Xu Sinian knew that someone in the Yingcheng Shipyard had caused trouble.

A fatal disaster, absolutely dead.

Li Xuewu doesn't get angry easily now, but if he loses his temper, there must be a result.

Especially the handling of this kind of external relations. People ran to Li Xuewu's office to ask. This is how passive and serious the matter is.

To put it lightly, the Red Star Factory's confidentiality work is not in place, and there is a risk of leakage.

To put it seriously, someone is doing shady things with foreign businessmen, attempting to sabotage the Red Star Factory's production and development cause.

If it's just a coincidence that the commuting workers heard it and blabbered, that's fine. If it's cadres and workers passing it on, this evil wind and evil spirit must be stopped.

Li Xuewu doesn't care who the other party's relationship is. Anyone who behaves like this must be eradicated.

"There is still a bag of mutton in the refrigerator. Let's make dumplings at noon today." Qin Jingru walked out of the restaurant with a rag in her hand and asked, "I'll call Jiankun to dig two radishes from the cellar for the filling. Those radishes will be chaffy if they aren't eaten."

"Isn't there also small river shrimp? Mix it with starch and fry it. Don't leave it there."

Li Xuewu suggested from downstairs, "See if there are any other dishes to prepare. Fish is fine, big bones are fine. Don't just eat dumplings."

"You are good at arranging. You just talk about meat. It can be seen that you don't know the price of firewood and rice when you don't manage the family."

Liu Yin said to her son with a smile, then said to Qin Jingru, "Just make dumplings."

"Okay, I'll tell Jiankun."

Qin Jingru said with a smile, "The dishes will be two meat and two vegetable, one fish and one big bone, one fried shrimp and one stir-fried baby cabbage."

"Okay, just listen to your arrangement." Liu Yin naturally couldn't reject her son's arrangement, and said with a smile, "Let's eat early, just a little past eleven. The old lady is used to it."

"Okay, I know." Qin Jingru responded and went outside to call Han Jiankun. After parking the car, she went to the west courtyard to repair the chicken coop.

The last heavy rain not only brought waterlogging disasters to the four-nine city, but also made the chicken coop in Li Xuewu's house collapse a few bricks, looking like it was about to collapse.

Li Xuewu walked to the sofa and held Li Tang, who had big eyes, in his arms.

"Call Second Uncle—!"

"Hahaha——! You said wait a bit, wait until I can talk."

Liu Yin smiled and pulled off the little socks on her grandson's feet, leaving the child with bare little feet.

Li Tang wasn't shy, reaching out to grab Li Xuewu's clothes and looking around, habitually wanting to gnaw with his mouth.

"Be careful of drool dripping on your clothes. It's the drooling period." Zhao Yafang reminded, "Hold him backwards and let him face away from you."

Li Xuewu didn't dare to let him gnaw on his clothes. He didn't wash his clothes, but he would tire Qin Jingru and his mother, even if there was a washing machine now.

Liu Yin felt sorry for the electricity bill and wasn't used to that stuff. It was clattering, and it was better to wash it by hand than to add water and drain water.

Since it wasn't her own labor, she had to respect other people's labor results.

"Where are big brother and Yuxiu? Didn't they come back?" Li Xuewu held Li Tang and walked around the house, letting him look at the furnishings in the house.

Li Tang reached out and bit his finger, looking at everything fresh, neither wanting nor making trouble, just curious.

"Yuxiu is at home, saying she wants to write a material, and will come over at noon." Zhao Yafang explained, "Your big brother came back and left again, saying the book market has opened, so he went to grab it early."

"How to come at noon?" Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Take the bus or should I pick him up?"

"No need to pick up. He will ride his bike over, and Yuxiu is the same. Don't worry about it."

Zhao Yafang waved her hand and said, "Busy with yours. We are just visiting today."

She teased Li Ning and said, "By the way, come to see Li Shu and Li Ning. Aunt misses the children. Isn't that right, Li Ning."

"Didn't Yuxiu go to her sister-in-law's side?" Liu Yin looked at Zhao Yafang and asked, "Didn't you say you went home?"

"Yes, went home. Yuxiu went to see it last night. A big fat boy, very strong."

Zhao Yafang introduced, "I gave eggs and a bag of meat. I asked Guodong to help arrange it. We can't save eggs at home, and meat is hard to buy."

"I went to the hospital to see it that morning, and Xuewu and Xiao Ning went to see it that night."

Liu Yin nagged, "I think it's all good, but the family members are not there, all are mother's family, a bit lonely."

"Otherwise, let Yuxiu go to see more. It's also giving the mother's family face."

Zhao Yafang held Li Ning from Gu Ning's arms and said, "It's just that Yuxiu's work is busy recently, and there are many things in the section."

"Work hard, go accompany more." Liu Yin instructed, "Because work is far away, it's understandable that Ji Weidong can't come back. If the aunt is close and doesn't go, it won't look good."

"I'll go back and tell Yuxiu." Zhao Yafang didn't say this to her mother-in-law anymore, just nodded and agreed. As for how Ji Yuxiu arranged it...

As a sister-in-law, she could only say what she had to say. Even if she wanted to pass on her mother-in-law's words, it was hard to grasp the measure.

Some words, if spoken by one person, might be misunderstood, inadvertently bringing personal emotions and tone, making people feel uncomfortable when they hear it.

This is true between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and even more so between sisters-in-law. She came from a rural family and understood the complex relationships between women in the village even more.

Gu Ning didn't care about this, just sat there coaxing the child, listening to them talk.

If asked, she would answer; if not asked, she would just sit silently. She was already used to it.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after marriage made her know that there were so many complex worries and relative relationships besides the mother-daughter relationship.

There were three generations of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law sitting in this room. If the family style wasn't good, it would be hard to avoid friction with many people.

Even if it was calm on weekdays, it would be surging under the surface.

Today you say this is not good, tomorrow she says that heart is bad, talking about the mother-in-law's unfairness, the father-in-law's nagging, the child's annoyance—this family has no peace.

Li Xuewu only teased Li Tang downstairs, and then drove to the club.

After listening to Yu Li's report on some situations and handling some documents, he returned to the Haicang side before lunch.

There were many people in the family. Although there were three children, there was no difference between raising one sheep and three sheep. The only difference was that three sheep were easy to collapse.

The dumplings had been packed, and Ji Yuxiu and big brother Xuewen had also arrived. The whole family was rarely gathered together, and there were dumplings and good dishes, so they had to drink a little to be happy.

But they didn't drink much. The old lady also sipped two cents, Li Xuewu and big brother Xuewen each drank a glass, and Han Jiankun drank half a glass.

After the meal, the family coaxed the children to sleep in Li Shu's room on the first floor, and then sat in the living room to talk about idle things. There was no business of outsiders, just talking about their own family situation.

Big brother Xuewen was always silent, only saying a few more words on topics he was interested in.

Liu Yin and Zhao Yafang talked more, one thinking about family affairs, wanting to understand and instruct, and one was the eldest daughter-in-law, who had to communicate these things with her mother-in-law and make arrangements.

You see, the Li family is not a big family now, but doing things always requires rules and chapters. What Liu Yin teaches her daughter-in-law, Zhao Yafang and the others have to listen and learn.

When she was in her mother's house, her mother taught her to be a daughter. After marriage, she had to follow her mother-in-law to learn to be a daughter-in-law, so that she could teach her own daughter-in-law later.

Family inheritance is nothing more than this.

Someone asked, what is tradition, what is inheritance, what is family style.

In fact, when you do something wrong, the scolding and education you get from your parents when you go home is called tradition and inheritance.

You do the right thing well and teach your children to do the right thing—this is called inheritance and family style.

It's not as rigorous and mysterious as you think, and there is no national learning theory support.

How much can the best national learning inherit?

The excellent qualities passed down from generation to generation in life are the excellent traditional culture that remains unchanged through the ages.

"Xuewu? Are you going to a meeting?"

On the second-floor corridor, Li Xuewu was suddenly stopped by Xie Dajie. She waved and said, "The meeting is still a while away. I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong, big sister?"

Li Xuewu turned around and walked back a few steps, asking, "Is it related to this meeting?"

"It has nothing to do with it. It's something from a few days ago."

Xie Lan Zhi signaled Li Xuewu to stand by the window and asked softly, "You handed a note to personnel a few days ago, asking for a certificate?"

"Last week? Guesthouse Xiao Jin, right?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly and said, "I was receiving the negotiation of Beijing Second Auto Works with Deputy Director Xue over there, and Guesthouse Director Qin Huairu found me and mentioned the issue of Xiao Jin's marriage being blocked by the neighborhood committee's review."

"Why? Is the matter wrong?" He looked at Xie Dajie and asked, "Or is it hard to handle?"

"Neither. The neighborhood committee gave a reply, reminding us to pay attention to policy."

Xie Lan Zhi frowned and said, "You might not know that the marriage review is relatively strict now, especially for partners with special background situations."

"Meaning they didn't handle it on their side either?" Li Xuewu shook his chin and said, "Is this policy explicitly stipulated, or is it interpreted and executed by the neighborhood committee itself?"

"We are not a neighborhood committee, and we haven't received such a document. I don't know the specific situation, but people say there is a policy." Xie Lan Zhi spread her hands and said, "What do you say to do?"

"Heh heh—I really heard for the first time that there is a policy that blocks two people who are normally dating from getting married. It's quite magical."

Li Xuewu sneered and asked, "Did our personnel check the problems of Xiao Jin's father and herself? If there is a problem, how did she enter the factory and work in the guesthouse?"

"I'm looking for you now to talk about this problem. Xiao Jin is the one you encountered, but there are many more special situations I encountered."

Xie Lan Zhi said positively, "The factory personnel department will have corresponding reviews and examinations when coordinating personnel work. Those who don't pass won't even be able to enter the factory."

"But policy is temporary, while historical materials are long-term. It's impossible to use current policies to block historical problems."

She raised her hand and gestured, "The organization verification work for all factory workers has been screened I don't know how many times, but is it useful?"

"The review standards we follow don't match the policy interference from others."

"Are we outdated, or are they advanced? How come I get more confused the more I listen."

Li Xuewu frowned and said, "Is it that our certificate documents are not useful on their side, and we have to handle it according to their review standards?"

"So, children from families with historical problems all have to be bachelors?"

"Unless you can do work in the city."

Xie Lan Zhi said bluntly, "Otherwise, if you go to the neighborhood committee and can't explain it clearly, people won't even tell you these policies, just tell you you are unqualified."

"It's a huge joke under heaven. Do you have to experience eighty-one difficulties to get married?"

Li Xuewu lowered his eyelids and said, "I told Xiao Jin that if the neighborhood committee doesn't handle it this time, I'll help her find the city to handle it. It turns out it's true, right?"

Xie Lan Zhi shook her head slightly and said, "It's best to say it together. Solving one Xiao Jin is useless. There are many more Xiao Jins in front and behind. You can't live in the dark, right?"

"That won't work. The influence is too bad, and it's easy to have problems. The atmosphere cannot be broken."

Li Xuewu emphasized seriously, "It's no problem for young men and women in the factory to date, but messing around is not allowed, especially things like living in the dark. The security department must strike strictly."

"I'll ask about this matter later to see what the situation is. If it's a problem with one neighborhood committee, it's easy to handle. If all neighborhood committees are like this, then we really have to find a way."

He raised the notebook in his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go to the meeting first. I'll discuss it with you when I have news. This matter must be solved."

When he parted with Xie Dajie and walked to the meeting room, the more Li Xuewu thought about this matter, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the more angry he became.

Birth, old age, sickness, death, adding people, major human events—what era is it? How can there still be such dog-shit things.

Li Xuewu really didn't expect that the certificate documents given by the personnel department and the security department wouldn't be recognized by the neighborhood committee. This face was really lost.

The meeting was presided over by Gu Weijie, a discussion meeting on the organization work of educational institutions.

That is, to set the organization and personnel of educational institutions, including the person in charge of the Education Administration Bureau and the person in charge of each constituent school.

Except for the principal of the primary school department, which Li Xuewu had arranged long ago to be served by the current Red Star Primary School teacher Ran Qiuye, the principals of other schools hadn't been decided.

Including the section-level and above cadres of each constituent school and the teacher management structure, all had to be discussed and passed at today's organization meeting.

The meeting had already sought the opinions of some leaders and relevant departments in the early stage. According to Li Huai De's requirements, education management should be handed over to teachers.

Logistics and financial management could be selected and transferred from the factory to supplement the team.

Therefore, according to Li Huai De's requirements and instructions, Gu Weijie organized a special class to study and invite excellent teachers and educational workers from all sides to participate in the creation of the management institutions of each school.

That is, what is commonly known as digging people with positions, which still had a certain effect.

Personnel were screened, and then combined with the opinions given by the factory, as well as the list of personnel recommended by Huaqing and the Iron and Steel Institute, they were brought to the organization meeting for discussion and exploration.

The first candidate for the principal of the Vocational and Technical College was the school cadre recommended by Huaqing University, the director of the school office, Jing Rong.

He was the one who accompanied Li Xuewu's cheap uncle Li Congyun to drink too much at home when he first went to the house.

Huaqing could cooperate so well with the Red Star Factory, and the cadre exchanges between the two sides had a certain foundation, and there were achievements in training and tempering.

Now the Red Star Factory wanted to engage in education. Li Xuewu called Li Congyun, and the other side naturally wanted to support one or two.

Perhaps considering that the Red Star Factory's Vocational and Technical College was grass-roots, Li Congyun arranged his most trusted Jing Rong to come and support.

There was actually no problem with the rank. The level of the school was not within the scope of the factory's rank restrictions and could be adjusted during the school running process.

What was most important now was to select a principal who could take on the heavy responsibility, lay a solid foundation for the school in the early stage of school construction, and create a good school style.

Because there was preparation, the meeting was held very quickly, including the principals of the Vocational and Technical College, High School Department, Junior High School Department, Primary School Department, and Preschool Education Department.

And other management personnel were also determined at the meeting, including the persons in charge of each department of the school, as well as the persons in charge of school construction and teacher recruitment management.

Li Huai De's requirement was to officially start school on September 1st this year and start training the next generation of successors.

That is to say, the school under construction could complete the preparatory work on time, and now they must carry out teacher selection and recruitment and student selection and recruitment work.

As soon as the meeting ended, these works had to be carried out quickly. At the same time, the propaganda mouth had to cooperate to publicize the Red Star Factory's reconstruction of educational institutions.

For a time, there were thousands of threads and troubles, which was abnormal. They could only build the frame first, let the personnel arrive at their posts and start work, and at the same time organize other departments to cooperate and supervise.

"Why did you think of asking about marriage?"

Ren Xiaoyu laughed, "It wouldn't be that our big sister instigated you to come to me, right?"

"Can't you two talk about work at home? Why go around me? It's a waste of breath, right?"

Li Xuewu laughed, "Is there any regulation that husband and wife can't talk about work at home?"

In fact, this was already the third call to Ren Xiaoyu. The first two were made to the neighborhood committee and the godmother's side at Jiaodaokou respectively.

When he learned that there were indeed many policy-based interpretation methods for marriage registration review now, he called Ren Xiaoyu again.

Of course, the words just now were just a joke between the two. If this matter could be solved at home, Xie Dajie wouldn't have told him.

Ren Xiaoyu worked in the city and was not in the civil affairs mouth. Even if he wanted to handle this matter, he didn't have the status and qualifications, after all, he wasn't in the factory.

And Xie Dajie taking the factory's problem to him to handle, letting him find civil affairs to coordinate, made this matter seem private, and the influence was not good.

Therefore, to handle this matter of the factory, it really had to be coordinated by Li Xuewu with the city, or find some way to handle it.

He was talking on the phone, and Peng Xiaoli brought Ran Qiuye in.

Li Xuewu waved to Ran Qiuye, signaling her to sit opposite, while he continued to talk to Ren Xiaoyu about this matter.

"I don't know what the method and process are on the civil affairs side, or how the policy is interpreted. I just want to solve this matter."

He said in a very peaceful tone, "Of course, I can't ask all neighborhood committees or offices to open the green light for our factory."

"I'm thinking, since there are many people, let's strive for the authority of civil affairs."

Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow, "Look if we can issue marriage procedures ourselves."

"Good guy, your thinking is okay. If you can't solve the problem, you just take the seal home and cover it slowly, and solve it slowly, right?"

Ren Xiaoyu said to him with a smile, and then replied seriously, "My suggestion is not to do this. It's easy to have problems."

"Think about it, you don't even understand the policy and method now. Do you understand it after taking the seal back? Who will carry it if there is a problem?"

He said earnestly, "Don't think about taking shortcuts for this matter, otherwise there will be more problems later. Being original is easy to be targeted."

"Then let's do it separately." Li Xuewu pinched his chin and said, "Originally we had the review authority, why don't we have it now?"

He said, "It can be completely reviewed by ourselves, and civil affairs can issue certificates and cover seals."

"Doesn't this return to the origin?"

Ren Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I'll contact the relevant departments to understand the situation first. If your thinking is okay, I'll reply to you, and you prepare the materials."

"That's it, waiting for your good news."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "Otherwise, I can only let people take the marriage materials and find you to lead them to the city to handle the marriage certificate."

"Hahaha——"

Ren Xiaoyu hung up the phone with a smile. He knew that Li Xuewu could definitely do what he said.

To say that Li Xuewu would beg for help or rely on relationships to handle his own affairs, he absolutely wouldn't.

Every time it was work-related matters entrusted to him, which would neither affect his work nor leave responsibilities for each other.

The most difficult thing in workplace relationships is entrusting each other to handle private matters, which has endless troubles.

But if it's talking about public affairs, how to talk and how to find relationships doesn't matter. If you break the sky, the person who entrusted it is for organizational work.

And the person who handles the matter didn't take benefits, and even less used power for personal gain, completely coordinating the work between two units.

So even if Li Xuewu really played the rogue, taking the young men and women in the factory who wanted to get married to find him and ask him to coordinate the marriage certificate, you say whether this matter is handled or not.

It naturally has to be handled on the civil affairs side, and it won't be blocked. But to say that the system is changed comprehensively, that is absolutely impossible.

However, solving this kind of thing cannot find acquaintances to handle it every time. In the end, there is no clear mouth, so we still have to find a channel to solve it.

Li Xuewu put down the phone and looked at Ran Qiuye, who was sitting quietly opposite, "Coming from the unit? Didn't disturb your work, right?"

"I asked for leave. There is no class in the afternoon."

It wasn't the first time Ran Qiuye had come to Li Xuewu's office, but every time she came, she felt a sense of oppression.

If she saw Li Xuewu at home, she naturally wouldn't have this sense of identity gap.

But from walking into this office building, walking to Li Xuewu's office, and then sitting in front of him, Ran Qiuye would clearly feel the obvious chasm and boundary between the two.

Large office desk, large office, majestic momentum, busy work—all showed Li Xuewu's status in the Red Star Factory.

If the two didn't have that layer of relationship, she, as an ordinary teacher, would definitely be terrified if she were called by the factory leader for a talk.

But the feeling now was very wonderful. The person sitting in front of her was clearly very close to her, but she felt he was standing very, very far away.

She should have felt alienated because of the identity gap, but after the other party opened his mouth to speak, she felt so kind and real.

This feeling was too dreamy and void, making her forget the tension and panic, leaving complex emotions in her heart that couldn't be revealed.

"Calling you over is to notify you that the organization and preparation work

If the two of them didn't have that layer of relationship, as an ordinary teacher being called in by factory leadership for a talk, she would certainly have been filled with trepidation.

But the feeling now was very strange; the person sitting in front of her was clearly very close, yet she felt as if he were standing very, very far away.

She, who should have felt alienated due to the gap in status, felt such intimacy and authenticity once the other party opened their mouth to speak.

This feeling was too dreamy and ethereal, making her forget her nervousness and fear, leaving behind complex emotions in her heart that could not be revealed.

"I called you over to notify you that the factory's organizational preparation work for the new school has already begun, and your appointment has been approved."

Li Xuewu looked at her and smiled: "I'm afraid you'll have to handle the handover with the school over there, and then participate in the preparation work here."

"Do I need to handle transfer procedures? Or..." Ran Qiuye asked doubtfully: "I don't quite understand where my organizational status is now?"

"You don't need to worry about that; just go back and explain the situation to your leadership, complete the handover procedures, and then report to the factory's Personnel Division."

Li Xuewu put the documents in his hand aside and looked at her, instructing: "I am not responsible for this matter; Deputy Director Gu is responsible."

"However, according to my understanding, you and the other principals appointed by the organization this time will jointly participate in the school's organizational construction work."

He explained: "It may include the construction of the teaching system, the construction of the teaching staff, as well as the enrollment and review work for the new semester."

"For specifics, you can refer to the planning document I gave you, and at the same time, actively contact Deputy Director Gu to integrate into the factory's Education Administration team as soon as possible."

"You also know that this is the preparation period, and we need someone to take the lead in doing the work."

Li Xuewu looked at her and said earnestly: "This not only concerns the future of the school, but is also an assessment of the batch of principals appointed, which concerns your future."

"We get to decide the school's construction?"

Ran Qiuye asked with some surprise: "Are we being given the authority to be responsible for the recruitment of teachers and students?"

"Of course, that is Director Li's requirement."

Li Xuewu nodded: "Professional matters should be left to professional people."

"You are the ones who understand education best, so the factory has given you the greatest support."

"I am truly surprised; I didn't expect the factory's efforts to be so great, I mean..."

Ran Qiuye wasn't doubting that the principal appointment letter she received was fake, she just felt that for the factory to run a school, the requirements for the teaching staff must be very strict, as it ultimately involved interests.

And the interests involved in the recruitment of students and the assessment of recruitment were even greater.

Everyone knows that attending school here is equivalent to receiving a notice of employment at the factory; factory employees' children want to come, and children from other related units certainly want to come as well.

Looking at the school-running plan provided by Li Xuewu, it clearly marked that the standards were very high, and even the educational equipment consisted of the most advanced teaching aids imported from abroad.

Not to mention the teaching building that the factory was rushing to construct for the educational institution.

Handing two important powers into their hands not only represented the factory's trust in them but also indicated the factory's attitude toward this work.

Professional, fair, and just.

"I understand your thoughts; is it that you feel the pressure is great, or the power is great?"

Li Xuewu looked at her amusedly and asked: "All those colleagues from the past, both those you got along with and those you didn't, will have to pass your review to work here; how does that feel?"

"I can't say; I'm a bit stunned for a moment, or perhaps caught off guard."

Ran Qiuye looked at Li Xuewu; she understood Li Xuewu's intentions very well.

I'm afraid that recommending her to serve as the principal of the elementary school department was based on her knowledge and work foundation, but also had the purpose of helping her re-establish her status.

All the criticism and injustice she suffered at her unit back then were resolved at this moment.

The current Red Star Elementary School is to be split, and students will be re-assessed based on their parents' status to determine whether they enter the new Red Star Elementary School.

And the current teachers, regardless of their original organizational status, must, like the students, pass an assessment to determine whether they are transferred to the new elementary school.

Actually, Ran Qiuye had just asked where her organizational status was.

This upcoming split and adjustment is precisely a concrete manifestation of the change in her organizational status.

Except for students whose parents are factory employees, no teacher can enjoy this treatment.

It is entirely based on their own teaching level and work ability to compete for these teaching positions.

The new school naturally has new requirements and rules; the activities being carried out in those outside elementary schools naturally need to be re-sorted and re-organized.

Activities aimed at individuals are all to be canceled, returning the classroom to the teachers and focusing the students' attention back on learning.

Specifically, to prevent ideological problems, the school has also set up ideological education positions, with the Third Guard Regiment responsible for selecting people to serve.

This structure, pressing down like Mount Tai, is the best guarantee for the school's stability; whoever dares to have objections must first pass the Third Guard Regiment's test.

"Thank you, thank you for your trust."

Ran Qiuye looked at Li Xuewu, took a deep breath, and said: "I will work hard and won't embarrass you."

"Embarrass me how?" Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said: "If you don't work hard and don't have results, the one losing face is yourself."

He wrote a note about the issue he had just discussed with Ren Xiaoyu and handed it to Peng Xiaoli, who had just entered, saying: "Tell Section Chief Xie and Deputy Director Gu that this matter still needs to be delayed."

"Section Chief Xie is still quite anxious." Seeing Ran Qiuye looking at him doubtfully, Li Xuewu explained: "Our factory is going to establish its own financial management institution, the United Savings Bank."

"I know, I heard it on the radio."

Ran Qiuye nodded and said: "I didn't expect the factory's development to be so fast."

"Yes, Section Chief Xie is about to be transferred to the United Savings Bank to serve as its first president."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Currently, she is still running back and forth handling the handover, hoping to resolve these historical legacy issues before the handover."

Pointing at Ran Qiuye, he reminded: "Handle your affairs as soon as possible; don't wait until she leaves and things get complicated. Handle it early so you can start working early."

"I understand; I will go back and prepare, then come to the factory to report." Ran Qiuye saw that Peng Xiaoli was about to leave, so she also stood up and said: "My dad said to let you come over for a meal when you have time."

"..."

Li Xuewu watched Ran Qiuye leave with Peng Xiaoli and almost laughed out loud.

This signal was given too suddenly; if he had heard it out of the blue and hadn't reacted, he would have been stunned, truly thinking her dad had come down from the mountain.

In this period, given the status of her parents, how could they come down from the mountain?

So what Ran Qiuye meant was for him to go to their home for a meal; eating, well, it's just eating.

There was also good news in the afternoon; the reward for Li Xuewu assisting in leading the Third Guard Regiment to support the resolution of urban waterlogging last month had come down.

One individual Third-Class Merit, one collective Second-Class Merit, and a commendation from the city...
