Chapter 1102: Don't go back tonight

Men lose their lives for the sake of greed,

Birds die early for the sake of food.

Greed is accompanied by anger, devouring one's intelligence.

They risk their lives to send themselves into an iron prison.

There is no end to desire; one walks to work this year, and by tomorrow, they want to ride a bicycle to work.

Then, seeing others sitting in small cars, they look at their own bicycles and feel they are no longer satisfying.

"If you ask me, you are all being too polite; your methods could certainly be a bit more serious."

Zhao Fuchun took a sip of tea, glanced at Li Xuewu sitting diagonally across from him, and said, "You're still giving them chances; I don't think they necessarily appreciate your kindness."

"Hehe—perhaps, but I haven't really thought about whether they appreciate it or not."

Li Xuewu flipped through the documents in his hand and said, "As long as you remember my kindness, that's enough."

"Me? What use is it for me to remember your kindness for a lifetime? Aren't these people going to be used by you later?"

Zhao Fuchun shook his head slightly and said, "They are all people in their forties or fifties, having lived in vain for so many years, yet they can't see or distinguish such a small matter clearly."

"When things come to a head, there are always people who think about muddling through or making up the numbers."

Li Xuewu looked up at him and said with a smile, "Let me say something unpleasant first; please don't take offense."

He looked at Zhao Fuchun and said, "Although these people's organizational relationships are on loan, once they enter the Steel Rolling Mill, our management will be strict."

"We have given them time and opportunities to handle past matters; we have already done our part. If they cause trouble again after arriving at the Red Star Factory..."

"I know, you don't need to say any more."

Zhao Fuchun frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said, "A loan is a loan, and usage is usage. Handle it according to your work rhythm; everyone is the same."

"As long as they make mistakes or refuse to confess their problems and facts, handle them all according to organizational procedures. We will absolutely cooperate on this side."

He spoke readily, but in reality, he had placed several restrictions on Li Xuewu's previous words, very afraid that the Red Star Factory would go on a killing spree, especially Li Xuewu.

He hadn't had contact before and didn't know, but later, after several contacts, he specifically inquired about what kind of person this was and whether he was easy to get along with.

The result of the inquiry was that this person was quite good and had good character, but there was one thing that wasn't very good: his murderous intent was too heavy, and he always loved watching people get shot.

Otherwise, why would he say that he lost his temper at the coordination meeting site outside today? These people were truly like mud that couldn't be plastered onto a wall, not knowing their own weight.

Clearly, he had already pointed it out to them: the Red Star Factory's development is good, isn't retiring from here better than guarding those pieces of junk?

Furthermore, he told them they must obey the orders of industrial integration, and even said that people from the Red Star Factory had come, yet these people still spoke nonsense.

Not to mention anything else, isn't the list Li Xuewu is holding in his hand right now the roster of these factories, the Book of Life and Death in the hands of the King of Hell?

Once the list is handed over, life and death are unpredictable.

It had already been agreed upon during the negotiations: problematic cadres discovered before integration would be handed over to the city's industrial department to handle.

Problematic cadres discovered after integration would be handed over to the Red Star Factory to handle according to organizational regulations.

Cadres who develop problems after integration would be handled by the Red Star Factory itself according to organizational procedures.

Such cadres integrated in this way are like duckweed without roots; in the process of taking root, they must be obedient and obey orders, otherwise, who would let you take root and settle down?

"With your words, our work will be easier to do," Li Xuewu said with a smile, not caring about the other layer of meaning in his words. "After all, I am responsible for discipline and supervision work. If problems arise in the future, it will still be me who has to handle them."

"Rest assured, you know us; there aren't that many issues. Handle them as they should be handled, especially given the current situation of the Red Star Factory."

Zhao Fuchun took a sip of tea, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked with a smile, "I heard that the talks with the French businessmen are almost done? Has it been finalized?"

"It should still take a few days," Li Xuewu did not hide it from him and introduced with a smile, "The content of this cooperation is too much, and the framework is too large, so the details have been gone over many times."

"As it should be, as it should be, such a large cooperation base, right?"

Zhao Fuchun probed Li Xuewu, held his teacup, and asked, "Can you determine the total value of the cooperation now?"

"This is really hard to say, technology, equipment, compensation trade, etc.," Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "I personally estimate that it should be no less than ten million, but there is some inflated value in it."

"That's not a small amount either!"

Zhao Fuchun said in surprise, "That what's-his-name, Arte, has already signed tens of millions in order contracts with you, right? Now it's another ten million."

He counted the cooperation between several projects on his fingers, as well as the catalog of export products, and finally said, "This ten million is not the order volume. If you count the orders, you are heading towards tens of millions or even higher value."

"It's not that exaggerated. After all, it's still just negotiations. From infrastructure to production, we still have a long way to go."

Li Xuewu smiled and signaled to the other party, "I still have to ask for your support and help."

"It's all easy to talk about on my side, hehehe."

Zhao Fuchun laughed softly, then asked as if unintentionally, "How come I heard that the Red Star Factory is planning to sell the technology and production equipment introduced through this cooperation with French businessmen?"

"Hehe—where did you hear that from?"

Li Xuewu joked with a smile, "I think the news that reaches your ears should be at least eighty percent accurate. This isn't even ten percent."

"How could our factory sell technology and production equipment? Who would buy it?"

In this day and age, technology is the most valuable thing, but technology is also the least valuable thing.

Free technology transfer has become the norm among large units. Those who invent or improve technology receive a fixed salary; where would they have any passion?

But the Red Star Factory is different. The research institute here has bonuses and subsidies, and the innovation and technological development momentum of scientific research personnel is very strong.

Including technical workers in the workshop, as long as they propose technological improvements or equipment improvements that are beneficial to production, they can also receive rewards.

Both material rewards and spiritual rewards exist.

This is true for technological development, and it is also true for safety and other projects.

Fixed salary, flexible bonuses.

"The production orders given by the French businessmen this time are huge and complex. It is impossible for our factory to complete production independently."

Li Xuewu stated the actual situation very frankly and said, "So, in the process of negotiating with the French businessmen, we are also looking for and selecting suitable units for communication and negotiation."

"Oh? Does that mean you provide equipment and technology, and the cooperative unit provides manpower and other things?"

Zhao Fuchun seemed to understand and asked with a frown, "Can't you find corresponding units for such cooperation within our Beijing industrial scope?"

"I don't know, the factory leaders haven't decided yet, saying they have to wait until the French businessmen finish talking."

Li Xuewu played dumb and said, "However, our factory's cooperation method is a bit special; it is carried out in the form of joint industry."

"That is to say, the industrial park is to be built in Steel City, forming an integrated system. Our factory provides technology and equipment, and the industrial zone is managed uniformly by the Joint Industry Management Office."

"Do you have to go to Steel City? Doesn't Beijing also have a very mature industrial base!"

Zhao Fuchun frowned and said, "I said at the beginning that I didn't want you to move the industrial base away. Now look, how much it hinders cooperation."

"This is not something we can decide; it still depends on the opinion of the foreign businessmen."

Li Xuewu pushed the matter to the foreigners with one stroke and explained to Zhao Fuchun, "The foreign businessmen also chose to cooperate with us after investigating the comprehensive industrial capabilities of Steel City."

"Conversely, regarding Beijing, our factory's concept of ecological industry has been more widely recognized by foreign businessmen, and the French businessmen have already proposed a request to participate in the design and construction together."

"I know, I know, your factory now talks about safety, environmental protection, prevention of occupational diseases, and does dual plans and safety standardization."

Zhao Fuchun sighed and said, "I also know that the industrial management concepts you put forward are advanced and effective."

"But, everything still has to be done step by step; you can't become a fat man in one bite."

He looked at Li Xuewu and shook his head slightly, saying, "You can all see that the tight spell on Beijing industry is getting tighter and tighter, can't I see it?"

"But, things always need people to do them. In this era, some people always need to sacrifice for the interests of the broader masses."

Zhao Fuchun put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Li Xuewu, and said, "I really hope that the Red Star Factory can provide more pulling force and traction for Beijing industry in the process of development."

"You think too highly of the Red Star Factory's ability," Li Xuewu said with a smile. "The Red Star Factory hasn't even finished its own business, so how can we talk about pulling others or driving others?"

"In my opinion, whether it is industry or economy, the hat of self-reliance and hard work should not be taken off, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold."

He said very bluntly, "The Red Star Factory can be a pathfinding lamp, a test locomotive, or a flag anchored in the era."

"There is no need to make the Red Star Factory so special. We are also learning while doing, learning while doing, and groping forward."

Li Xuewu signaled Peng Xiaoli to help pour water, and he continued, "Whether it is the cooperation or exchange you mentioned, in my opinion, it is a very good opportunity to let other enterprises understand us, and we also need to understand other enterprises."

"As for the industrial development item, it really cannot be changed. The overall plan is very large, one link after another, which is very troublesome."

"Hmm, understood," Zhao Fuchun nodded and said, "I just want to leave a spark for Beijing industry. A single spark can start a prairie fire. The more this fire of Beijing industry burns, the better."

"Although I am not specifically responsible for this project, I think cooperation is no problem," Li Xuewu said with a smile. "It still depends on the opportunity, the willingness to cooperate with each other, and the connection."

……

After sending Zhao Fuchun away, Sun Jian called Peng Xiaoli over to understand the situation. What did this Director Zhao come here for? It shouldn't just be for tea.

Peng Xiaoli's explanation was: crying poor and selling misery, moral kidnapping, looting during a fire, and trying to cover up.

The Red Star Factory has had a bit of noise exceeding the standard recently. During the day, one not only has to endure the mechanical sounds coming from the workshop but also listen to the construction noise on the construction site, ton-ton-ton, bang-bang-bang.

And at night? Does it quiet down at night?

How could that be? The construction site works in two shifts, day and night without stopping. Even Lang Zhennan, who is in charge of construction, is working at this rhythm.

There is no way to solve this situation. Building a small city in Liangma River in three years, all-encompassing, it is absolutely impossible without showing hard power.

Joint Tertiary Industry and Joint Industry want to construct workshops, do infrastructure for those enterprises that are about to be integrated, and also build schools and foundations for various buildings.

The first batch of Joint Industry only has two enterprises. Once integrated, equipment must be dismantled, personnel must be placed in the Steel Rolling Mill, and all production tasks will begin to be detained. When the equipment is reinstalled, production tasks can continue.

It was agreed with the city that although these factories were integrated, their production tasks must be taken over until the task indicators are reissued next year.

Correspondingly, the financial budgets of these factories will also be divided separately, a financial accounting group will be established, and they will gradually merge into the Red Star Factory.

The speed of infrastructure must exceed the speed of integration. The dismantling, relocation, installation, and debugging of equipment will delay time, but other times cannot be affected.

For this industrial integration, the factory has put in a lot of effort. Personnel, technology, scheduling, engineering, and other departments are all busy.

Li Xuewu is responsible for the coordination of the factory's Joint Industry and Tertiary Industry, as well as administrative business.

So documents from the engineering side will also appear on his desk, and there are more and more of them.

Not long after Zhao Fuchun left, Li Huai De called him to ask about the situation, and Li Xuewu told him straight.

"This guy is really like a ghost that won't go away. Turn around and stick two talismans at the door to ward off evil!"

"Hahaha—forget it. If it doesn't work, it will be troublesome to summon a big ghost."

Li Xuewu also said jokingly, "I told him that you are annoyed by him and don't want to see him. He didn't go to find you, did he?"

"Find me? What for? I'd scold him twice—!"

Li Huai De can be considered proud and satisfied now, and said with a light laugh, "Don't bother with him. Just do the work as you should. If you listen to him, he can't help at all and will even hold you back."

"Hi, isn't that exactly what you said? I just mentioned it to him too, don't think about changing the Red Star Factory's plan again, no way."

Li Xuewu reminded, "He mentioned to me that he wants our factory to help other enterprises, aiming at the technology and equipment of the cooperation project between our factory and the Santa Ya Group. I loosened my mouth a bit."

"Hmm, cooperation is cooperation. Who isn't it done with? I also hope that our roots in Beijing can be more stable and stronger."

Li Huai De pointed out on the phone, "However, you have to keep an eye on some things; you can't believe everyone."

"It's just his kind; you can't just chat with him; he might stick to you and not let go."

"Understood. I have contacted Manager Dou of Dongfeng Construction. Do you have anything to do tonight? Let's have a meal together? I will report to you in detail."

"Dongfeng Construction? How come you thought of having a meal?"

Li Huai De said amusingly, "Okay, don't make it too distant, let's be nearby, at the guest house."

He said on the phone, "I really can't get used to the craftsmanship of the restaurants outside, and there's nothing to eat. It's still comfortable here."

"Another thing, I can't get used to the wine outside either, it's too boring."

"Got it, listen to you, just at the guest house. I'll tell Director Qin to let Chef Qian be the head chef and make a few more good dishes."

After talking with Li Huai De, Li Xuewu hung up the phone.

Just when he was talking, Peng Xiaoli brought Dou Yaozu in.

Li Xuewu first waved to signal him to sit opposite him, and only then did he talk about Dou Yaozu's treat while on the phone.

Dou Yaozu sat opposite and listened, knowing that Li Xuewu was acting on impulse to help him expand his relationships.

Treating guests or whatever didn't matter. By riding Li Xuewu's east wind and working with the Red Star Factory for more than a year, almost two years, he is no longer what he used to be.

The city has a building with a large courtyard as an office space, and there are tens of thousands of workers in his hands. He can't even finish the projects of the Red Star Factory.

The current Dongfeng Construction has technology where there is technology, manpower where there is manpower, and equipment where there is equipment. It is no worse than ordinary construction teams.

When he was digging the basement of that warehouse for Li Xuewu, he even borrowed the excavator of the construction team and borrowed the light of his relatives, owing a huge debt of human favor.

But look at him now, construction machinery is piled up together. If all the construction teams in Beijing are pulled out to compare, he is definitely not the worst.

He himself has made a lot of money in the past year or so. If you want to talk about giving gifts, he had long wanted to give gifts to Li Xuewu, but Li Xuewu never wanted this.

Even the shares of Dongfeng Construction were forced to be sent by him, and they were hung under the name of the recycling station, which is considered a small collective.

"Nothing to do tonight?"

Li Xuewu put the documents in his hand aside, looked at Dou Yaozu, and said with a smile, "Director Li is quite concerned about our project construction. I think this is an opportunity. You will have to cooperate and dock with the factory sooner or later."

"Nothing, nothing, I listen to your arrangement."

Dou Yaozu said with a smile, "Going out with you, I feel confident in my heart. Anything is fine."

"Don't be nervous, nothing happened, just sitting together and chatting. What do you think Director Li is?"

Li Xuewu joked with a smile, "A bear or a big tiger?"

"No, no, hahaha."

Dou Yaozu said with a smile, "I'm not afraid that my mouth is clumsy and I don't know what to say right or wrong."

"What could be right or wrong, it's all doing work."

Li Xuewu looked at the documents in his hand and asked, "Is there any problem or difficulty with building materials?"

"This... I was just about to tell you, the city construction side found me."

Dou Yaozu explained, "The meaning there is that the construction industry must be affiliated under the construction team, and doing small collectives is not allowed."

"And then? Blocking your materials?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "Who told you, how did they say it?"

"It's the city's Third Construction side, just passed a word over, didn't say who specifically."

Dou Yaozu explained hesitantly, "Actually, construction materials are already being blocked now, but I have been coordinating."

"How to coordinate? Bleeding?"

Li Xuewu knocked on the documents in his hand and said, "Now the Red Star Factory has more and more projects, are you planning to lose money?"

"Contact the sales side for steel bars and metal building materials, and they will directly produce a batch for you. Contact the Comprehensive Trade Management Center for wood, paint, cement, and these things."

Li Xuewu wrote a few notes on the paper and explained, "Asked you to go to Red Star Village, did you go?"

"Went, went, talked very well with Director Yin, they also have small kilns there, I'm afraid..."

Dou Yaozu said hesitantly, "Relying only on Red Star Village to produce bricks and tiles will definitely not be enough."

"Didn't think about letting them supply it."

Li Xuewu looked at him and said, "This is called leaving a way out for yourself, and also letting others know that they can't restrain you."

"In the future, if any Third Construction or Fifth Construction comes to contact you again, just slap them!"

He said in a gloomy tone, "Hiding their heads and tails, they must be treacherous people."

"Yes, yes, I know."

Dou Yaozu didn't dare to slap others as Li Xuewu said.

He is cautious. Some things can pass if they can pass, no need to be serious.

Although Li Xuewu is backing him up, he can't cause trouble for Li Xuewu.

"Now the project is about to be fully launched, personnel management must keep up. No matter how many people are recruited, there can be no personnel problems."

"The factory will have a certain amount of support for machinery and equipment, and it should arrive very soon."

"The construction of the ecological industrial zone is the top priority, including underground engineering, civil air defense, warehouses, water supply and drainage engineering, pipe network engineering, etc."

Li Xuewu knocked on the documents in his hand and exhorted, "I can't say this is a century-old project, but it is not an exaggeration to say it is a fifty-year project."

"I understand, rest assured, Dongfeng Construction has always been doing projects according to your requirements."

Dou Yaozu guaranteed, "If there is a quality problem, you can take my head at any time."

"Your head is not worth the mistake of the project having problems."

Li Xuewu looked at him and nodded, then knocked on the table and reminded softly, "I'll teach you something. Don't find it troublesome, don't find it difficult to handle, or have a burden in your heart."

"Director Li, you know me. I don't have much culture, I just recognized your door. You say it, I guarantee to execute it."

Dou Yaozu looked at Li Xuewu very seriously, as if waiting to take on a very arduous task.

Li Xuewu explained softly, "You, go to the factory's Art Troupe dance team in a while, find their dance team captain..."

The Red Star Factory Art Troupe can now be considered a literary and artistic propaganda team that can be brought out and named in the city.

On May 1st Labor Day, they were a hit in the condolence performance organized by the city, and the program effect directly made the reputation of the Red Star Factory Art Troupe.

This has to be said that the Red Star Factory is willing to invest and has put in a lot of effort in propaganda work.

Not only did they recruit a large number of professional technical talents from various professional colleges, but they also dug professional teachers from various performance teams and colleges.

According to the original framework of the literary and artistic propaganda team, they quickly built and formed a professional troupe with a scale of nearly three hundred people, covering various performance forms such as dance, vocal music, singing...

Many old artists who can be named are also working here. It's not that the Red Star Factory has soil for artistic development, it's really that the Red Star Factory gives too much.

Wages are guaranteed, safety is guaranteed, treatment is good, benefits are good, and the Personnel Department has several small teams digging for people everywhere. The feedback information is that the work is particularly easy to do, as long as the treatment is explained clearly.

In this day and age, the attention to the factory's technical backbone strength and professional engineer team is not very strict. Many people can apply to transfer from the unit themselves, as long as both sides can accept it.

The Red Star Factory is developing well, and the various teams of the Red Star Factory are also flourishing.

The dance team just finished the large-scale performance on May 1st Labor Day, and now it is preparing for the performance stages on July 1st, August 1st, and October 1st.

Training and rehearsal are actually very tense. Basically, after the troupe is formed, according to the requirements given by the Propaganda Department, they rarely have rest time all year round.

Even if there is no need for large-scale stage performances, they have to prepare for various condolence performances.

Since Wang Yajuan was promoted to the instructor of the Art Troupe, Zhou Miaomiao took over her position and became the captain of the dance team, and also the deputy head of the Art Troupe.

Because the literary and artistic propaganda team did not have excellent management cadres during the team construction period, the batch of people who came was reused.

Of course, now many capable people have been recruited, and the organizational structure of the Art Troupe has become rigorous. Even if there are existences like Zhou Miaomiao and Wang Yajuan, they are also professional.

If it is organizational work or financial work, even if it is personnel and logistics work, it is a burden for them, but professionally, both of them absolutely dare to say that they can be competent as deputy heads.

When Wang Yajuan saw Li Xuewu last time, she didn't dare to respond to Li Xuewu's words about transferring her position, just because she was afraid she couldn't do it.

Now she feels that she needs to learn and work hard to do the instructor's work. If she improves again, wouldn't she fall to death if she falls down?

No need to compare with others, just compare with the head of the Art Troupe, Zhang Li, who is a few years older than them, but in terms of style and management methods, she is definitely much stronger than them.

Now there are a few more deputy heads in the troupe, who are also professional, but no matter how old they are, they absolutely dare not be arrogant in front of Zhang Li.

Because Zhang Li is not artistic professional management at all, but security and ideological management background. Who dares not listen to her, want to take a political class?

Some people jokingly said that this is called a scholar meeting a soldier, and the reason cannot be explained clearly.

Actually, it's not like that. Although Zhang Li is very strict in management, she acts openly and honestly, without covering up, which is very convincing.

Look at Wang Yajuan again, from deputy captain to instructor, from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, giving up her performance career and embarking on a management position.

Did the dance troupe or other colleagues who came together dare to look down on her before?

Of course they didn't dare. On the one hand, they all know that she has a relationship with the factory leaders, and it's not the same relationship as Zhou Miaomiao.

On the other hand, the status is different. She is a cadre now, and they are still actors.

Wang Yajuan also intends to cut off her past life and experience, and doesn't want to mention those heartbreaking things before.

So she treats everyone in the troupe equally, works seriously, and naturally no one gossips about her.

It's Zhou Miaomiao. No one questioned her effort and diligence as the dance team captain, and no one questioned her professional technical ability.

However, some people felt unconvinced about this deputy head of the Art Troupe, especially when sitting with those old artists for meetings.

She herself could also perceive it, knowing that others looked down on her, but she didn't care.

It's useless to care. The road has already been walked to this point, can she still retreat?

Zhou Miaomiao just told herself that effort and luck are equally important. If luck hasn't come, then work hard to let luck come to her side.

Breaking the jar is impossible. She must live well, do her work well, and pick up her reputation bit by bit through effort.

This is a bit like that Qi from later generations. Before, the more clothes she took off in movies, the more she took off, and finally she took them all off and finally became famous.

As a result, she also knew that there was nothing left to take off, so she put them on, and came up with an inspirational chicken soup about how I want to work hard to put on clothes one by one.

Who forced you when you took them off at the beginning? Didn't you think of this when you made money and became famous?

This is setting up a persona for yourself.

Zhou Miaomiao's persona is, although I have been crazy, waved, played, and been played.

But, I am still a good girl, and an inspirational, self-respecting good girl.

Some people talk about her behind her back, saying she doesn't think it's dirty, and actually "relies on the old."

Then she will date a young object with knowledge, culture, and a future, who is still a college student, to make those old procuress mouths jealous to death.

Some people question her ability, then train hard, and want to crush everyone professionally, so that they have nothing to say and dare not be hard.

Therefore, as long as there is no team guidance training, she is always training.

If there is work, then practice extra after work, constantly reminding herself that there is a circle of little bitches behind her waiting to see her jokes.

Today is also just after completing the troupe's task, and she is preparing to change clothes for training.

The security guard at the gatehouse sent a message saying that someone came to find her.

The Red Star Factory is not what it used to be. She heard that when Li Xuewu was in charge of the Security Department, the factory was very chaotic, and children could run in to play.

But after Li Xuewu took full charge of the Security Department, the factory became much stricter, and outsiders couldn't get in at all.

So the only people who can come to the Art Troupe to find her are the factory's employees.

If a cadre or secretary is looking for her, a phone call is enough. She is also curious about who came.

Her object is still at work right now...

"You are..."

"Hello, hello, are you Comrade Zhou?" Dou Yaozu greeted with a smile, "I am the General Manager of Dongfeng Construction, my name is Dou Yaozu."

"Uh, hello, Manager Dou."

Zhou Miaomiao looked at him confusedly and asked, "I don't seem to know you? Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Really sorry to bother you."

Dou Yaozu was still as polite and dutiful as ever. The honest expression made Zhou Miaomiao's vigilance relax a lot.

Looking at such a person's eyes and face, you know he is not a bad person, just like an old farmer.

"I, I just came over from the security building. Isn't it, I made an appointment with Director Li to have a meal together tonight, right at our guest house."

Dou Yaozu waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Don't misunderstand, although I am not from our factory, all the engineering construction work in our factory is responsible by our unit."

"Ah, is that so, Manager Dou, hello."

Zhou Miaomiao is also a clever person. Dou Yaozu has already spoken out several keywords. How could she not know whose relationship the other party is.

And the other party stated clearly that he was going to have dinner with Li Huai De tonight. Coming to find her at this time, there is no need to say what the relationship is.

It can only be arranged by Li Xuewu, just don't know what he wants to do.

"Look at you, my mouth is really clumsy."

Dou Yaozu smiled apologetically, asked Zhou Miaomiao to stand aside, and then said with a bitter face, "I, I have been doing our factory's engineering, and borrowed a lot of Director Li's light."

"I want to repay Director Li, but Director Li is open and honest, clean and honest, and doesn't give me this opportunity. I can only go to Deputy Director Li to ask. My heart—"

He said clumsily, "It was Deputy Director Li who couldn't stand my begging, so he told me, please help, go to the shopping mall to pick a few gifts, Director Li will definitely like them."

"This... not very good, right?"

Zhou Miaomiao frowned and said, "I will explain your intention to the leader clearly. Forget about the gifts."

"No! No! No! You misunderstood!"

Dou Yaozu waved his hand clumsily and said, "I mean buy gifts, give them to you, not to Director Li. How dare I give gifts to the leader, I mean give them to you."

"Give them to me? That's even more inappropriate."

Zhou Miaomiao was a bit annoyed by Li Xuewu's approach, but she still said politely, "I didn't help you."

"Deputy Director Li said, your performance on May 1st Labor Day was very successful, thank you for your hard work."

Dou Yaozu said seriously, "I also watched the program, it was really good, my employees also watched it, and they liked it very much, so I took this opportunity to thank you."

His words had no rules and sounded incoherent, but the credibility was greatly improved.

Zhou Miaomiao looked at him and asked, "Do you mean that Dongfeng Construction and the Red Star Factory are cooperating, and your construction unit also watched the program and wants to express gratitude to the Red Star Factory? Is that what you mean?"

She said amusingly, "By thanking me, let the leader know your intention, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Oh my, my mouth!" Dou Yaozu smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Thanks to your understanding of me."

"Hehehe—"

Zhou Miaomiao understood, and also saw his clumsiness, and couldn't help but laugh, "Almost made me dizzy, and I understood it after thinking for a long time."

"Blame me, blame me," Dou Yaozu smiled helplessly and said, "I have the car ready here. Do you see if you have time? Let's go to the shopping mall now, pick according to your heart!"

"That's so embarrassing—"

Zhou Miaomiao glanced out of the corner of her eye, but saw a Volga M24 parked not far away. The license plate was not Li Huai De's.

No need to ask, it was the seat of this honest and clumsy old man.

Really didn't expect that a construction company general manager could have this kind of scene.

As soon as Zhou Miaomiao thought that this person was the same as Li Huai De's seat, that level... obviously not low.

So the attitude improved by more than double.

Dou Yaozu saw her say this, knowing that her heart was moved, so he said with a smile, "I have to ask you to give me the opportunity to thank you."

"Don't say that, I'm too embarrassed."

Zhou Miaomiao raised her hand to look at the watch Li Huai De gave her and said, "Wait for me for a moment, I'll change my clothes and come out."

She is a cadre of the dance troupe, and this is a serious matter. She writes out for business, who can check her.

So it was only ten minutes, and Dou Yaozu, who was waiting by the sedan, saw Zhou Miaomiao, who was like a fairy, walking over with graceful steps.

Oh my god, this Director Li is really lucky—!

Half an hour after work in the evening, Li Xuewu came out of the building.

Peng Xiaoli had already taken Gu Cheng's car back, and Han Jiankun was waiting for him.

The command vehicle was parked at the door. Li Xuewu thought Li Huai De had gone over early, but didn't expect to see his Volga driving in.

"Come, get in my car, let your driver go back."

Li Huai De came out of the building, greeted Li Xuewu, and said, "Don't go back tonight, accompany me to play mahjong, my hands have been itchy recently."

He is really good at finding reasons, and he even has to play mahjong with Li Xuewu.

Old Li has a nickname at the card table, Transport Captain, the kind who is both bad and loves to play.

And his card style is good. He is happy whether he loses or wins, and he just likes to play for real.

But in the current Red Star Factory, who dares to play for real with him? If he loses his temper, it will ruin his own future.

So Old Li didn't play with those people later. If his hands were itchy, he would find the person in charge of the brother unit to play. They were all heads, with no burden.

But playing outside is risky, so he was also scratching the wall with his hands itchy. He caught Li Xuewu, and he couldn't run tonight.

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly, "You should have said so earlier. If you had said so earlier, I would have let him go back first."

He waved to Han Jiankun, signaling him to help him tell his family, and then got on the Volga.

Li Haiyang, this kid, was also there, joking and making trouble with Li Xuewu.

The Volga made a turn and entered the gate of the guest house, and saw another Volga parked in the courtyard.

Li Huai De asked with a smile, "Old Dou made money?"

"Hey, what do you think?" Li Xuewu said with a smile, "Borrowed, you can tell by the license plate. He doesn't have the guts to buy a sedan."

The two were talking, the car stopped at the door, Li Xuewu just got out of the car, and his arm was grabbed.

"Yo! Miaomiao—"

Li Xuewu deliberately called her affectionately, joked with her, "I didn't sit in the wrong seat, you didn't hug the wrong person?"

"Leader—"

Zhou Miaomiao said coquettishly, "Can't I be close to you?"

"Yes! Of course!"

Li Xuewu saw Li Huai De walking over to watch the fun, joked, "We are talented and beautiful, standing here, how well-matched, right?"

"Hahaha—"

Those who saw the fun at the door laughed when they heard this joke.

After work, the leaders also relaxed, and no one would care about a joke.

Introduced to Dou Yaozu, Li Huai De also shook hands with him with a smile and chatted for a few words.

Feng Juan stood at the door and greeted with a smile, "Welcome, two leaders, please come in."

"Why is it so formal?"

Li Xuewu looked at her and asked, "Started learning new services again?"

"We are an advanced unit—"

Feng Juan also often deals with leaders and is not afraid to joke with them. At this time, she said, "Both work and service must be advanced."

"Compared with the International Hotel?"

Li Huai De saw something, nodded and smiled, "I think it can be compared. I feel that the service of the guest house is more cordial than the International Hotel."

"Thank you, Director Li—!"

Feng Juan was also trained, and at this time she smiled and thanked, which was considered asking for a reward.

The food was all prepared, just waiting for them to sit at the table, and the kitchen began to pass the dishes.

On this side, Feng Juan had already helped pour the first glass of wine, and they were already drinking in the private room.

Li Huai De, Li Xuewu, Dou Yaozu, and Zhou Miaomiao, four people, were considered a private game.

Especially Zhou Miaomiao sitting here, sitting right next to Li Xuewu. She had been like this since they met. Those who didn't know would think it was a lover relationship.

But those who knew saw it. Zhou Miaomiao was wearing new clothes, new shoes, and even added golden yellow on her neck and ears.

After work, she dressed up like this, in the guest house, her own territory, no one cared.

The look in Li Huai De's eyes when looking at Dou Yaozu already had a satisfied look.

Everyone says Old Dou is honest and simple, but it seems he is not a fool. ===== CHAPTER 1103 =====
