Chapter 1234: Daddy, I want to set off firecrackers~

"You are from a security background, so I won't emphasize this aspect anymore."

Su Weide nodded, looked at the committee office staff who sent tea, and said thank you.

After the staff left politely, he continued: "Do you have any opinions or ideas about discipline and supervision work?"

"I did some work before I came."

He didn't hide anything and said very frankly: "This aspect of work was previously the responsibility of Comrade Zhifu, right?"

"Yes, before the organizational management system reform, Deputy Director Xue was responsible for discipline and supervision work."

Li Xuewu nodded and didn't mean to hide it from the other party, saying bluntly: "I served as his deputy and worked together for a few months."

"No wonder—"

Su Weide picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at the tea leaves rising and falling in the cup, saying: "After the management committee office was established, you were responsible for this work."

"The security department, discipline and supervision department, and several other discipline, safety, and supervision departments were merged into the current security group."

Li Xuewu didn't touch the tea served by the staff and reported the relevant situation of the security group with a calm face.

At the meeting in the morning, Deputy Director Zhang had already announced that Su Weide would be responsible for the Red Star Factory's safety and security work.

That is to say, Su Weide was the supervisor of the security group.

Li Xuewu could serve as deputy director of the management committee office to serve and arrange his life and work treatment after arriving at the factory.

At the same time, he also had to quickly change his identity and accept the talk from the supervisor as the security group leader.

Su Weide was a look of striving for governance and not resting day and night; as soon as he got off the car, he started talking about the supervisory work.

"I'm not worried about the security department's work, because you are a professional, and you are stronger than me in this aspect."

Su Weide pointed at Li Xuewu with words in his words, and then emphasized: "Discipline and supervision work still needs to be strengthened."

"I heard before I came that the Red Star Factory's organizational discipline and cadre supervision work have been difficult to do for the past two years, so we need to be careful."

Li Xuewu, of course, understood the meaning in Su Weide's words. Since he said he wasn't as professional as him in security work, then conversely, it meant he wasn't professional enough in discipline and supervision work, or he wasn't as professional as him.

Or extending it, his actions and achievements in discipline and supervision work were not enough and didn't reach the effect required by the above.

How this should be understood, the scale is all in personal grasp and thinking.

Li Xuewu didn't take it to heart, nor was he careless.

Su Weide had always worked in the ministry's discipline and supervision department; if he said he wasn't as professional as him, it didn't matter.

Specialization has its own specialty; arguing doesn't get work done.

Listening to the sound, Li Xuewu didn't take his comparison seriously, but instead heard the deep meaning of his subsequent emphasis.

How?

To open up the work situation in the Red Star Factory, he wanted to start from discipline and supervision?

Hmm, this is a bit interesting.

Su Weide spoke very politely and tactfully, and didn't say that Li Xuewu had been derelict in his duty while in charge of discipline and supervision work for the past year.

It can be seen that he didn't intend to "stand up" as soon as he came up.

He's an old slicker; he didn't mention the tense meeting in the past at all, but instead emphasized the difficulty and importance of discipline and supervision work.

As a leader, he still has a foundation in language.

"After the discipline and supervision department and the security department merged, they were reduced to a section-level unit," Li Xuewu thought for a while and introduced: "The work is still carried out in the form of brigades and groups."

"In addition to daily supervision and disciplinary inspections, the main work also includes secret visit work groups."

He lifted his eyebrows, looked at Su Weide opposite him, and said: "With the active development of various works in the Red Star Factory, the expansion of business work, personnel reform, and other work, the pressure of discipline and supervision work has followed."

"This is inevitable—"

Su Weide nodded, took two cigarettes out of his cigarette case, signaled to Li Xuewu, and lit one himself after seeing Li Xuewu refuse.

"In 1967, the number of workers in the Red Star Factory grew from 13,000 in the past to 96,000 now."

He took a puff of his cigarette, put down the cigarette case and matches, and continued: "The cadre team grew from more than 2,000 to more than 9,000 now; how can one section handle it?"

"Discipline and supervision work and safety and security work are two different things, and the work intensity and form are also very different."

"Hmm, Deputy Director Xue told me about this point."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "The situation is changing very fast, and we are also in a process of learning while doing and doing while learning."

"The supervision section and the security section have carried out certain cooperation, and have also carried out business cross-writing with the confidentiality section."

He crossed his legs and organized his thoughts, saying: "In the process of personnel system reform, the construction of the discipline and supervision cadre team has been very slow, mainly limited by conditions such as professionalism and basic quality."

"I understand what you mean."

Su Weide sat up straight, flicked the ash in the ashtray, and said: "Organizational structure changes, personnel structure adjustments."

"What's more complicated is that the cadre structure is also changing significantly, bringing too many problems and difficulties to discipline and supervision work."

He shook the hand holding the cigarette and said: "But using the strength of thin paper to execute cadre supervision work, don't you think it's dangerous?"

"Li Suo said that the security group is the last red line for the Red Star Factory to ensure safe production."

Su Weide pointed at the desktop and said: "Now it seems that this red line is a bit empty; it needs to be drawn solid."

Dong dong—

Just when Su Weide was tapping the table, there was a knock on the door.

Li Xuewu turned his head and saw Gu Cheng standing at the door.

"Hello, Leader; hello, Deputy Li Suo."

Gu Cheng greeted politely, took his notebook and materials, and walked in, standing not far from the desk.

"Gu Cheng, captain of the agency motorcade."

Li Xuewu introduced him to Su Weide, and then looked at Gu Cheng and introduced: "This is the new Deputy Director Su of our factory."

"Hello, Deputy Director Su, my name is Gu Cheng."

Gu Cheng performed very maturely and steadily; with Li Xuewu here, he wasn't afraid when looking at the new leader.

At this moment, he had the self-awareness of a disciple of the Li family; his waist was straight, and his face was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and natural.

Hearing quite a few rumors about the new leader from Peng Xiaoli, he knew there was an "old grudge" with Deputy Li Suo.

So at this moment, Gu Cheng muttered in his heart that he absolutely couldn't lose face for Deputy Li Suo.

Hey! What are you looking at! Old dog!

Your grandfather is the tiger of the security department, the second dog-leg under Deputy Li Suo of the Red Star Factory!

Su Weide sized up the young man who walked in with high spirits and looked a bit silly, not knowing what kind of trick Li Xuewu was playing.

"Your matter will be discussed later," Li Xuewu pointed at Gu Cheng and said: "I will discuss matters with the leader first before talking about yours."

He saw the exploration and sizing up in Su Weide's eyes and wanted to give Gu Cheng a chance to perform, and also give Su Weide some time to observe.

So he told Gu Cheng to wait a moment, and without giving further instructions or hints, he continued to talk about the topic just now.

"First is internal selection, selecting comrades with outstanding business ability, solid ideological quality, and qualified political assessment from various professional sections to fill the discipline and supervision team..."

Gu Cheng didn't know the meaning of Li Xuewu calling him over; he thought it was about using cars.

He heard two sentences of what the leaders were talking about just now, and it was indeed more important than small things like using cars.

At this time, he couldn't say that the leaders' conversation didn't pay attention to rhythm and time, he could only say he came early.

Plus Peng Xiaoli had been rendering this Deputy Director Su as a sinister villain recently, and he was still thinking in his heart whether the leader calling him over had the meaning of showing off and demonstrating.

Look, even the agency motorcade captain is my person; you "outsider," be honest!

It must be said that Su Weide's judgment of people is really accurate.

Gu Cheng's personality is indeed a bit silly; to put it bluntly, his thinking is active, and he often has unexpected ideas in his head.

When Li Xuewu was speaking, Su Weide had peripheral vision observing him, which he noticed.

In an instant, what he thought of was this, and at this time, Gu Cheng's heart was also reminding himself that he should do something.

As the self-proclaimed second dog-leg under Deputy Li Suo, how could he let a villain look down on him!

So, without Li Xuewu's hint, he took the initiative to pick up the thermos from the tea cabinet at the door and refilled hot water for the two leaders.

Then he added warm water to the humidifier box on the radiator and opened the window at a slight angle so that the room wouldn't be too hot.

These actions were all seen by Su Weide; under guard and caution, there was also a bit of satisfaction with this eye for detail.

It's just that his satisfaction was misunderstood by Gu Cheng, who thought it was a provocation.

Damn! Old dog, I didn't do this to please you!

Don't be self-indulgent; I performed to show Deputy Li Suo; look at you nodding, what the hell!

You nod! Still nodding! You damn!

If you nod again, Deputy Li Suo will misunderstand!

"First is internal selection, selecting comrades with outstanding business ability, solid ideological quality, and qualified political assessment from various professional sections to fill the discipline and supervision team."

Li Xuewu saw that he was talking earnestly, and didn't worry that it was only the first day, so he said it all.

"We have also conducted certain investigations and inspections on relevant sections and departments, such as the security group's confidentiality section and security section."

He said: "Other departments have also investigated the personnel department, organization department, propaganda department, etc."

"Secondly, it is to examine the discipline and supervision cadres within the seventeen enterprises merged last year, and select the qualified ones to be recorded in the supervision section."

"Finally, it is organizational cultivation."

Li Xuewu raised his hand to signal and said: "At the United School, we have opened a discipline and supervision cadre training class."

"The main sources of students are college students and high school students recruited last year, as well as high school and above graduates recruited from society."

"This is already very comprehensive; I was worried too much."

Su Weide reached out to flick the ash, nodded with a smile, and said: "I was still thinking about exerting some relationship role and borrowing some cadres from other enterprises to enrich the discipline and supervision team."

"If you can do this, of course it's better."

Li Xuewu lifted his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Your train of thought and method might be more professional than mine."

"At least it's multi-pronged, with half the effort."

"Hmm—otherwise—"

Su Weide shook the hand holding the cigarette and took the last puff before pressing it out in the ashtray.

After blowing a puff of smoke, he said: "My move is called drinking poison to quench thirst, and it's also called distant water cannot quench near thirst."

"To build a solid and reliable discipline and supervision cadre team belonging to the Red Star Factory, we still need to have our own train of thought."

Li Xuewu saw that Su Weide wasn't looking for a train of thought, but was clearly looking for a dead end, and secretly looking for a path to survive after death.

Why say so?

Just look at Su Weide's attitude and focus in the conversation; he clearly expressed the appearance of strictly grasping organizational discipline and discipline and supervision work construction.

He didn't mention security work at all, and didn't touch safety supervision work, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

This was a move of retreating to advance in front of Li Xuewu.

Before he came, he had already done his homework on the basic situation of the Red Star Factory; Old Li had dug several big pits for him before they even met.

Su Weide was also straightforward; he didn't accept any of the opposition and contradictions created by Old Li, including Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu's faction.

Dong Wenxue's authority contracted to Steel City after Li Xuewu's promotion, and he was able to support security work alone.

Li Xuewu would have to move a step sooner or later in Beijing; Su Weide didn't need to clash with Li Xuewu at this time.

The situation of the Red Star Factory looked very clear, but also very complicated, and couldn't be handled hard.

So, he didn't provoke anyone.

Grasping organizational discipline and discipline and supervision at this time seemed like asking for trouble, cutting off his own path, and isolating the mass foundation.

But while labeling himself and labeling his high-mindedness, he also handed a certificate of nomination to the Red Star Factory team members.

Su Weide grasping discipline would offend people, but he wouldn't offend Li Huai De and others; instead, he let others relax their hostility and vigilance toward him.

So Li Xuewu said he was looking for a dead end, looking for a path to survive after death.

However, Su Weide wanted to play the routine of building high walls, storing grain widely, and delaying the title of king; could Li Xuewu let him have his wish?

Old Li had already crippled Cheng Kaiyuan; at this time, holding a wine glass and shouting to continue playing music and dancing, wasn't he just missing an enemy?

Look, Su Weide delivered himself to the door.

If he had shown an attitude of dividing the river and ruling at the beginning, perhaps Li Xuewu wouldn't have easily calculated him.

Retreating to advance, calculating that after he left the security group, he would use the conditions of rebuilding discipline and supervision work to gradually master the security force; Li Xuewu could only say he was blind.

If Old Li had one-third of the ability to control the overall situation, Li Xuewu wouldn't have set up this empty city strategy for Su Weide.

After all, he left the security group; if Su Weide turned to Li Huai De later, and the two divided the security group, copying his and Dong Wenxue's retreat, the fun would be big.

By then, not to mention Dong Wenxue returning to Beijing, even he himself wouldn't have any possibility of advancing further.

Do you think Old Li hadn't thought about it?

He is not a kind person!

The reason why he treated Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu with a gentle heart was entirely due to multi-faceted considerations.

Dong Wenxue's power had already formed a climate, and Li Xuewu's ability was outstanding and honest, with mutual handles.

Finally, it was that he himself didn't have the ability to master the overall situation; he wouldn't use Dong Wenxue and Li Xuewu, nor would he use Cheng Kaiyuan and Su Weide.

Old Li valued and relied on himself so much; do you say Li Xuewu shouldn't consider Old Li more?

So, Cheng Kaiyuan was crippled, it didn't matter, just set up another Su Weide.

Cheng Kaiyuan was crippled, but he still had the strength to fight, and was always wary of Li Huai De.

Don't look at Old Li playing and teasing Old Cheng, but if Old Cheng didn't have this threat, would he arrange it like this?

You look at the serious handling of Old Cheng from above, but he is still in his current position, which shows that the problem is not big and can be forgiven.

Lifestyle is not a very serious problem in the current era, and it was not valued for a long time until later generations.

It was that this problem triggered more economic and disciplinary problems, which was then marked in the discipline and supervision notice.

Problems like family management and child management were also valued in the same period; look at the markers before 18D?

Comparing Dong Wenxue's situation, one can judge one or two; this kind of thing, as long as it doesn't get big, or even go through the organizational level, generally won't cause major impact on personal work.

This matter of Cheng Kaiyuan is too bizarre.

His mistake, in the eyes of the above, was not that he played too much, but that he was confused.

Lax in governing subordinates, work not solid.

Being played in the palm of his own secretary, and still complacent, happy and unaware; if this isn't confused, what is?

Ability problems can be cultivated, ideological problems can be corrected, and lifestyle problems can be educated.

Only IQ cannot be counterattacked.

If there were 【brain-damaged pills】, the above would wish to invite a doctor to prescribe a few courses of treatment for Cheng Kaiyuan.

This handling is also to let him calm down and think about his work train of thought and way.

As a leader, business level and ability are secondary; looking at people and using people is a taboo.

Cheng Kaiyuan got a chance for self-correction; it depends on how he does his work next.

After all, he is still responsible for production management work; the rank is affected, but the authority... at least on the surface, it hasn't been affected too much.

Can you say Old Cheng can't manage production?

The crippled Old Cheng has shed his vanity and hypocrisy, standing cleanly and straightforwardly in front of everyone.

Such Old Cheng is "innocent" instead, traveling light, and is wary of Old Li.

Compared to Su Weide, Old Li is now more afraid of Cheng Kaiyuan.

What combat power does Su Weide have?

Very simple, he broke the news himself at the meeting; it's nothing more than support from above.

You Old Li played Cheng Kaiyuan like this so straightforwardly; whoever transferred Cheng Kaiyuan here feels very faceless.

The face from above is gone, so naturally, they have to find it back in some aspects.

You are good at using means like discipline and supervision, so the above gives you a talent in discipline and supervision.

Su Weide's arrival also marks the attitude from above.

From now on, problems in the Red Star Factory must be discovered early and treated early, and must not involve the team level again.

That is to say, Li Huai De's idea of cultivating small problems into big problems and using big problems to settle other problems cannot exist anymore, and this move cannot be used.

Actually, Old Li is wronged!

This problem wasn't cultivated by him—

If he had known Cheng Kaiyuan played so much, he would have eaten this melon long ago; could he have waited until now?

No matter how he thinks, he has taken this pot, and the above has also determined his means and facts.

Su Weide came, which can be considered cutting off one of Old Li's tentacles and limiting the space for the use of authority.

Because everyone knows that the two cannot pee in one pot.

Li Xuewu doesn't even need to do too much layout; Old Li has a natural vigilance against him.

What he should do more is to help Su Weide stand firm in the Red Star Factory as soon as possible and form a threat to Old Li.

Su Weide wants to rebuild the discipline and supervision system, then he must help with all his strength.

Because in the process of construction, it is also the embodiment of his personal influence expansion; now the security group is still his call.

Before, he had to show his skills in the security group, and if he recruited people with great fanfare, he would inevitably be wary of Old Li.

Now it doesn't matter; Su Weide took the initiative to take the blame, and he could completely let go of his hands and feet to complete all layouts before leaving the security group.

And the more this is the case, the greater the danger of Su Weide in Old Li's mind, and the stronger the reliance on Li Xuewu.

He might even support Li Xuewu in secretly arranging influence in order to control the security group and threaten Su Weide.

Li Xuewu, who is about to leave the security group, has no threat to Old Li; the situation has advanced to here, and the art has been achieved.

Li Xuewu wants to help Su Weide, which seems unreasonable, but in fact, it is deep-seated, eating from one side and then the other.

Who says enemies can't be helped?

In the organizational ecology of the agency, there are too many such unbelievable operations, which can't even be counted as tricky operations.

No one in the Red Star Factory understands the stability of the triangular relationship better than Li Xuewu.

Let's put it this way, even the teacher who teaches geometry in the junior high school of the United School is not as good as him.

The teacher can teach, but has the teacher applied it?

Li Xuewu has used the triangular relationship to perfection, and then derived more triangular relationship joint bodies.

You tell me, in order not to let Old Li float, not to let Old Li be stabbed a thousand times, and to let him struggle in the Red Star Factory for a few more years, how much heart has Li Xuewu broken!

You tell me, is he good to Old Li?

Are you moved? (Dare to move?)

"There are no new cars in the motorcade for the time being," Gu Cheng stood by the desk and reported: "There are two old Volgas, and the condition is not very good, but there are newly purchased Hongxing Lingyang jeeps."

He looked at Deputy Director Su after looking at him, and reported to Li Xuewu: "We have submitted the procurement application, and the leader's opinion is to wait, and purchase uniformly after other team members take office."

"I understand this situation, I will explain it to you."

Li Xuewu took the initiative to explain for Gu Cheng: "All along, the factory's leader car usage has had no unified standard and specification."

"After asking Li Suo for instructions, the leader's meaning is that promotion work is imminent, and the group formation process has begun to be implemented, so the agency's car usage must form a certain standard and specification."

"Just taking advantage of this opportunity, align the standards for all factory leaders' car usage, purchase uniformly, and replace uniformly."

He smiled and said: "Although our factory's car industry has walked in the forefront of the industry, there is still room for improvement in the field of high-end sedans, so—"

"What's wrong with this, I understand."

Su Weide sat up straight, pointed at Gu Cheng and said: "Just use a Red Star Hongxing Lingyang; I don't have any research and too many needs to go out for the time being, just arrange it as you see fit."

Gu Cheng nodded and replied: "That's good, Leader, I will arrange a new Hongxing Lingyang jeep later."

"Li Suo's meaning is to purchase the Volga M24 sedan," Li Xuewu interrupted: "That is the car he is using now; I will introduce it to you later. If you have any opinions, you can communicate with me, or with Li Suo."

"Hey, didn't I say it—"

Su Weide picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "I personally don't engage in special treatment; just arrange it according to the regulations."

He looked at Gu Cheng and instructed: "You look at the driver and arrange a suitable one; there must be elite soldiers in our motorcade."

"If you say so, his work will be much easier to do."

Li Xuewu praised with a smile, and at the same time looked at Gu Cheng and said: "Comrade Gu Cheng still has ideas and ability."

"Thank you, Deputy Li Suo—"

Gu Cheng straightened his chest; being valued by the leader was naturally joyful, knowing that today's performance added points to himself.

As long as Deputy Li Suo was satisfied, he was satisfied.

"What do you think?"

Who would have thought that after Li Xuewu praised him, he asked Old Dog Su instead.

Look? Look at whom? Look at what?

"Very good, just use him."

Su Weide looked at the young man who was a bit stunned, nodded at Li Xuewu and said: "I still have to familiarize myself for a few more days."

"Then you are busy first, I will report work to you later."

Li Xuewu nodded, stood up, and instructed Gu Cheng, who was a bit confused: "Deputy Director Su just arrived and needs to familiarize himself with the situation in the factory, so I recommended you to serve as secretary."

"Hand over the work of the agency motorcade; temporarily hand it over to the deputy captain."

Not waiting for Gu Cheng to react, he looked serious and instructed: "You must do a good job in serving the leader; if you have any needs, you can communicate with me, or with Deputy Director Liang of the committee office."

"That's it—" He looked at Su Weide, nodded, and said: "Then Deputy Director Su, I will go back first."

"Thank you for your help—"

Su Weide stood up, shook hands with him very politely, and sent him to the door.

What about Gu Cheng? He was still stunned.

Long gone was the confident and flamboyant look.

Like a puppy left on the side of the road by its owner, full of astonishment and panic.

What did I do wrong?

Don't you want the second dog-leg anymore?

Deputy Li Suo, did you sell me out?

"Sss—sss—"

Noon, first floor of the agency restaurant.

Peng Xiaoli had just finished eating, and before he had time to wash his lunch box, he heard a familiar signal.

He turned his head and looked around, only

What the hell?

The signal Gu Cheng received was not to go over there, but to meet at the old spot.

What kind of trick is this kid playing? It's like he's meeting an underground operative.

Peng Xiaoli twitched the corner of his mouth, gave the other party a knowing look, and continued scrubbing his lunch box.

Although this knowing look carried a hint of impatience and helplessness, Gu Cheng finally let go of his anxious heart and devoured his food.

At the Red Star Factory, his good buddy was the only one he could rely on.

After hurriedly finishing his meal, he didn't even wash his lunch box and headed straight out the door.

Along the way, people kept greeting him, and even their forms of address had changed.

You have to admit the level of sycophancy in the government office; in just one morning, he went from the obscure Captain Gu to the hot-shot Secretary Gu.

He had felt this enthusiasm when he came to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, and it truly left him terrified and breaking out in a cold sweat.

Even the attention from young women, which he rarely received before, was something he couldn't even respond to now as he headed straight for the old spot.

The old spot was the place where he, Peng Xiaoli, and Li Xue met privately.

After all, it's a government office; there's always a need for information exchange or temporary relaxation.

Even beasts of burden have day and night; donkeys grinding grain can't work every day, they have to have rest time, right?

During the lunch break, as long as the leaders didn't have special needs, the secretaries would gather in twos or threes to chat.

Those with the means would prepare a cup of tea and a cigarette, sort through the big and small affairs of the factory, exchange information, and share what they knew.

In fact, the news that reaches the leaders' ears comes this way too, though they have more channels than just the secretaries.

When Gu Cheng hurriedly arrived at the old spot, Li Xue was there too.

"Oh, Secretary Gu is here—"

Li Xue teased him with a smile: "Just newly appointed, how do you have time to come out and chat?"

"Stop mocking me—"

Gu Cheng pressed his palms together and bowed to Li Xue, saying with a bitter smile: "What kind of new appointment is that!"

After finishing, he pointed at Peng Xiaoli and said: "Deputy Director Peng is the one who's truly newly appointed."

"Hey, hey, act a bit more serious."

Peng Xiaoli rolled his eyes at him and reminded him: "Today is about your business, why bring me up?"

This time, there was a major reorganization of the organization's forces, and there were also changes in the security group.

Besides Wang Xiaoqin, who held a concurrent position, there was already news of a deputy group leader, though they hadn't arrived yet.

On the eve of the promotion work, various departments were making fine-tuned adjustments in an orderly manner. Li Xuewu's secretary, Peng Xiaoli, had sufficient seniority and age, and his rank as a deputy section-level officer was confirmed in this round of adjustments.

Just like Sha Qizhi the year before last, Peng Xiaoli was just luckier than Sha Qizhi and avoided many detours.

He was educated, capable, had learned many skills from Li Xuewu, and had articles published in relevant newspapers.

With both hard and soft requirements met, Li Xuewu arranging his advancement wasn't nepotism; it was a very normal step.

Gu Cheng was from the same period as him, and these past few days he hadn't envied Peng Xiaoli's rapid rise and good luck any less.

Unexpectedly, just after finishing his envy and jealousy of his good buddy's luck, and hoping Deputy Li Suo would take another look at him, he had bad luck.

"I'm about to cry—"

Gu Cheng looked like he was truly about to cry, saying to Peng Xiaoli and Li Xue: "I'm completely bewildered right now!"

"I can tell, you're incoherent."

Li Xue looked him over and said: "Being a secretary for the factory leadership isn't that the opportunity you've always dreamed of?"

"Exactly, don't act like you're suffering when you've got a good deal—"

Peng Xiaoli knew what Gu Cheng was thinking and teased him on purpose: "Now I'm the one who's envious of you."

"How about we swap? Don't envy me—"

Gu Cheng grabbed Peng Xiaoli's arm and said: "You go be the secretary for Deputy Director Su... Su, and I'll go serve Deputy Li Suo."

"Do you think the Red Star Factory is run by your family?"

Peng Xiaoli shook off his arm, curled his lips, glanced at him, and said: "I was just comforting you, why are you climbing up the pole? That's going against the natural order!"

"I knew it—"

Gu Cheng poked him and said with a curled lip: "My brother is in trouble, and you're just standing there watching the show, right!"

"Don't be so dramatic—"

Seeing Li Xue snickering, Peng Xiaoli helplessly patted Gu Cheng's shoulder and comforted him: "Deputy Director Su is a factory leader after all."

"You can consider this a step to the heavens."

He raised his eyebrows and said: "But don't be in a hurry to act smug; Deputy Director Su might already know about our relationship, and maybe he won't need you after a few days."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

Seeing Gu Cheng getting anxious, Peng Xiaoli held down his shoulder and said: "I sincerely hope you have a better future."

"Think about it, Deputy Li Suo recommended you for this position because he also hopes you have a good development opportunity, right?"

"That's exactly what I'm afraid of—"

Gu Cheng said annoyedly: "Knowing that I... well, why did Deputy Li Suo still recommend me to be his secretary."

"What makes me even more confused is that he actually used me!"

He grabbed Peng Xiaoli's arm and said: "What I'm most afraid of now is him asking me about... well, you know."

"Now everyone calls me Secretary Gu; if I really get sent back, where would I put my face? Wouldn't I become a big joke!"

"Hey—I understand now!"

Li Xue pointed at him, raised her eyebrows and said: "You don't want to be caught in the middle and be in a difficult position, you're afraid of following Deputy Director Su and getting into trouble, but you also don't want to lose this opportunity and can't go back to the motorcade, right!"

"Those who know me, Comrade Li Xue—"

Gu Cheng grabbed Li Xue's hand and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that after mixing in the government office for so long, you're still the one who understands me."

"Ugh—"

Li Xue rolled her eyes in disgust and couldn't pull her hand back.

Peng Xiaoli couldn't watch anymore; alarm bells were ringing in his heart, feeling like someone had suddenly barged in.

He stepped between the two, put his arm around Gu Cheng's shoulder and said: "Look at you, what's the rush, let go of her hand."

"Aren't we here to help you think of a way."

Peng Xiaoli forcefully pushed Gu Cheng's hand away, pushed him to stand by the window, and reminded him: "Let me tell you, doing secretarial work, the most important thing is loyalty."

"I don't need you to teach me that—"

Gu Cheng widened his eyes and said very simply: "I am loyal to Deputy Li Suo, the sun and moon can bear witness..."

"Stop—cut it out—"

Peng Xiaoli reached out and covered his mouth, emphasizing: "I'm talking about loyalty to the organization!"

"Sycophant—"

Li Xue rolled her eyes from the side and muttered: "Deputy Li Suo doesn't need your loyalty."

"Hey, hey, listen to me—"

Peng Xiaoli held down Gu Cheng, who still wanted to express his loyalty, and comforted him: "Haven't you thought about it, with so many elite troops in the office, why would Deputy Li Suo arrange for you to be Deputy Director Su's secretary?"

"Why? I want to know too."

Gu Cheng frowned and said: "The only thing I can think of is being an undercover agent, but I don't want to be an undercover agent."

"Can you be normal for once?"

Peng Xiaoli looked at his good brother like he was an idiot, frowned and said: "What kind of person do you think Deputy Li Suo is!"

"Exactly, small-minded—"

Li Xue also frowned and said: "My second brother would absolutely never do that, stop letting your imagination run wild!"

"It's a bridge for communication, understand?"

Peng Xiaoli tapped Gu Cheng's forehead and said: "You're just a poor man who suddenly got rich, you're stuck in a dead end, think about it carefully."

"You just need to maintain absolute loyalty to the organization, don't be self-righteous and mess things up."

"Really?" Gu Cheng looked at the two of them with some disbelief and asked: "Do I need to go ask Deputy Li Suo?"

Li Xue reminded him with a gloomy face: "My second brother will beat you to death—"

Deputy Director Su's arrival at the factory caused quite a stir in the government office, but there wasn't much feedback at the grassroots level.

And just as the end of the year was approaching, the entire office department issued a notice regarding the former Deputy Factory Director Nie Nie Chenglin.

The notice emphasized that Nie Nie Chenglin was dishonest and disloyal to the organization, and not only did he not actively reform his ideology, but he made mistakes upon mistakes and engaged in underhanded activities.

The punishment for Nie Nie Chenglin was to be transferred away from the Yingcheng Shipyard and sent to Steel City to continue labor reform.

The notice also criticized Xu Sinian, the director of Yingcheng Shipyard, who bore supervisory responsibility.

Of course, the treatment for Xu Sinian was only criticism, with no further punishment.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was an undeserved disaster for Old Xu.

Nie Nie Chenglin's surveillance and labor reform at Yingcheng Shipyard had always been carried out by Shi Ruoweng.

Not criticizing earlier, not criticizing later, only waiting until a few months after Shi Ruoweng returned and something happened to criticize, why do you think that is?

Some in the government office said that the chess game Shi Ruoweng played to retaliate against Li Huai De was planned and laid out with Nie Nie Chenglin's help.

The goal was to use Cheng Kaiyuan to topple Li Huai De, the executor was Shi Ruoweng, and the mastermind was Nie Nie Chenglin.

It's understandable that Nie Nie Chenglin would want to retaliate against Li Huai De, but why did Shi Ruoweng go crazy?

It's too easy to understand; anyone thrown into Yingcheng Shipyard for more than half a year, digging mud with the engineering team, would hate the leader who discarded them like a pawn to the bone.

Not to mention the extreme and pedantic Shi Ruoweng.

This notice didn't pass through Li Xuewu's hands, but was handled by the new Deputy Director of the Management Office, Liang Zuodong.

When Li Xuewu saw this notice, Xu Sinian, who was in Steel City attending the Red Star Factory Liaodong Industrial Leadership Group meeting, called.

On the phone, Old Xu complained to him for more than ten minutes, saying only that government work is hard to do, branch factory work is even harder to endure, and any stinking pot of shit can land on your head.

Li Xuewu also understood that Xu Sinian didn't mind Old Li's disgust; he was reminding himself that such a sudden situation must be controlled.

His role in the capital was to provide shelter for his companions in the branch factories and, more importantly, to keep a pulse on things.

What could Li Xuewu say? Could he say he didn't communicate well with the new deputy director and lacked work synergy?

The notice had already been issued; he just had to listen silently.

Section-level cadres in the government office were being sent out one after another to prepare for the establishment of specialized factories and specialized branch companies.

At this time, the factory office was in chaos, and all sorts of bullshit could happen.

Newcomers want to get ahead, so active performance is naturally normal. He is a group leader in the security group, but still a deputy director in the management office.

The other person is also a deputy director; they have no obligation to report work to you, right?

Putting down the phone from Steel City, Li Xuewu tidied up and called Peng Xiaoli to prepare to get off work.

Problems are never-ending, just like work is never finished.

Li Xuewu put the messy affairs of the unit behind him; as long as the general direction didn't have problems, small problems would be solved by someone.

Returning home, looking at the warm lights and happy children, the deceit and treachery were left outside the front door.

"Daddy, I want to set off firecrackers—"

Li Shu saw her daddy return and ran over happily.

Not even waiting for him to change into his slippers, she pushed him and said: "Teach me, Daddy—"

The New Year goods that Shen Guodong helped procure were delivered to the house yesterday, and there was a small pile of firecrackers, which Li Shu knew about.

"Firecrackers? What kind of firecrackers."

Li Xuewu amusedly flicked his daughter on the forehead and teased her: "Daddy doesn't know how to set off firecrackers, I only know how to win at mahjong."
