Chapter 1280: Gathering from a Thousand Miles Away

"I heard your factory pulled off something big?"

Ji Wang Weidong was still his usual cocky self, sauntering into Li Li Xuewu's office.

He didn't even acknowledge the staff member who was in the middle of reporting, instead plopping down onto the sofa and crossing his legs, looking for all the world like a debt collector coming to call.

"Pay attention to the quality acceptance work."

Li Li Xuewu ignored him, tapping the document in his hand and instructing Wei Congguang, the Director of the Engineering Division: "The Management Committee has already discussed it. The leaders will conduct random inspections and re-acceptance."

"If any quality issues arise," he glanced at Wei Congguang, his gaze returning to the materials, and warned: "You know the severity of the consequences."

"I understand, Leader," Wei Congguang promised solemnly: "I will arrange the corresponding preparations for quality acceptance immediately. There will absolutely be no problems."

"I trust you—"

Li Li Xuewu nodded and said: "But problems are very likely buried at the grassroots level. You must keep your eyes sharp and your finger on the pulse."

"Don't wait until problems appear to think about regrets or remedies."

He signed his comments and name on the document in his hand before sliding it over, saying: "Director Li is very serious this time. Not a single mistake will be tolerated."

"I understand. Thank you, Leader."

Wei Congguang was originally the Deputy Director of the Engineering Division; his promotion to full Director this time was thanks to the Red Star Factory's upgrade.

The main reason was that the factory was establishing a construction subsidiary, and the original Engineering Division Director, Lang Zhennan, had seized the opportunity to take on the heavy responsibility himself.

Between the Director of the Engineering Division and the General Manager of the construction subsidiary, which position was more desirable?

It depended on the person. Lang Zhennan dared to take the initiative to shoulder the heavy burden and open up new territory because his seniority and achievements were sufficient.

Especially since the higher-ups had issued strict regulations that all original mid-level department heads of the Red Star Factory had to be moved.

There was no place for them in the group organizational structure reform; they could only go down and fight for it, and see who could return in two years to take the position of department manager.

Wei Congguang had no such opportunity. His age had reached the limit, but his seniority and achievements were insufficient; he could only grind it out in this position for two years and try his luck.

Of course, Li Li Xuewu still trusted such comrades relatively well.

Don't look at their lack of determination and ability to open up new territory; they also lacked the probability of being reckless and making mistakes.

The group structure would not overly use elite-type cadres; it would place more mature, steady, and reliable cadres in key business department positions.

You could doubt Old Li's business ability, but you would absolutely admire his ability to employ people. In the process of smashing the agency's plate and reintegrating it, personnel work basically carried out Director Li's will.

This indeed caused a certain amount of backlash, and some factory leaders also expressed dissatisfaction and complaints about this.

But Old Li did not care about these things. Everything else could be discussed, but personnel issues could not.

But truth be told, among the cadres at the deputy division level and above in the agency now, there were really few who could be picked apart. No one could say who was incompetent.

This really tested one's eye and ability.

If anyone said Old Li employed newcomers and was bold and reckless, then those old comrades in key positions would spit on him.

Old comrades were not trash; they were elites tempered in the sea of knives and fire. They were extremely easy to use, as long as you grasped the timing.

What is the timing?

It's very simple: your personal prestige, your methods of doing things, your ability to handle affairs, and all other comprehensive abilities. As long as you can subdue them and make them willing to be driven by you, then you have mastered the timing to control the old hands in the agency.

This is also the reason why mid-level heads with potential for cultivation were all sent down to serve as heads of professional factories and subsidiaries.

These people did not yet have the full prestige and ability to control a large department. Using them now was equivalent to harming them, and it was also irresponsible to the Red Star Factory and the organization.

Only after tempering would they have the opportunity to become pillars of talent.

As for a good-for-nothing like Ji Wang Weidong, throwing him to Hong Kong to harm others was absolutely a wise move by their leaders.

"Why are you back again?"

"Can you not ask that?"

Ji Wang Weidong seemed to have the high ground. Once Li Li Xuewu had a moment, he stood up and sat opposite him. "Hey, I heard you've made progress?"

"Are your eyes blind or your ears deaf?" Li Li Xuewu glanced at him irritably. "Didn't you see the three characters 'Secretary-General' on the office doorplate?"

"Even if your eyes are bad and you didn't see it, didn't you hear how people just addressed me?"

"Oh, I'm really sorry!"

Ji Wang Weidong said cockily: "Secretary-General is here. I am blind and deserve to die. How about I kowtow to you?"

"There are too few people here. Go kowtow in the hallway."

Li Li Xuewu was very familiar with dealing with such rascals; he had it in the palm of his hand.

If you want to talk about being a bastard, who could be a bigger bastard than him when he was young?

Ji Wang Weidong thought that after mixing in Hong Kong for a few years and drinking some foreign ink, he could spar with him, but in the end, he was still destined to be disciplined.

"Your mouth is comparable to a five-step snake."

He rolled his eyes and complained dissatisfiedly: "I originally wanted to congratulate you. An old friend is back, and you say something like that."

"Do I owe you, or..."

"Say it, why don't you say it?"

Seeing Ji Wang Weidong stop talking, Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "Which ghost borrowed money from me and then used a broken motorcycle to pay off the debt?"

"Fine, fine, fine, I owe you."

Ji Wang Weidong was stubborn. He stiffened his neck and asked: "So what? What can you do to me? I just owe you."

"Look at your punchable face."

Li Li Xuewu curled his lips and said: "Aunt Fu even said you made progress, grew, and matured. How come I didn't see it?"

"It's okay, I forgive your poor eyesight."

Ji Wang Weidong lit a cigarette with a lighter, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said: "I didn't want to leave this time I came back. I really miss my son."

"But who made me shoulder the heavy responsibility of the organization and the entrustment of the people? Sigh—" He sighed long and said: "Since ancient times, family and country have been hard to balance."

"Did you come here to brag to me?"

Li Li Xuewu looked him over and asked: "Did your leader feed you tiger dung to give you the guts to put on airs in front of me?"

"Hehe, not at all—" Ji Wang Weidong flicked the ash off his body, looked at Li Li Xuewu cockily, and said: "Sitting in front of you is the Confidential..."

"Beep—"

Before Ji Wang Weidong could reveal his current identity, Li Li Xuewu slapped his two work IDs onto the desk.

"Just tell me directly, which of my identities are you stronger than now?"

Ji Wang Weidong: "... Damn!"

(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

"What is this thing?"

When Li Li Xuewu returned home after work, he was "executed" by his daughter who was lying in ambush at the corner as soon as he entered the foyer.

"Haha—biubiu!"

Having killed her father, Li Shu jumped with joy, shaking the box cannon in her hand, showing off and shouting: "Gun, pistol—"

"Ji Wang Weidong sent it this afternoon."

Qin Qin Jingru had long known Ji Wang Weidong. At this moment, while tidying Li Shu's sleeves, she explained: "He sent a big box of toys."

"He just sent it to the door. I asked him to come in and sit for a while, but he wouldn't."

"Hmm, got it," Li Li Xuewu bent down, teasing his daughter: "Is it fun? Ambushing your father, huh?"

"Hehehe—"

Li Shu ran into the living room, wanting to show off the box cannon in her hand to everyone she saw. If they didn't pay attention to her, she would inevitably shoot them twice.

Qin Qin Jingru had been "shot" all afternoon and was already immune.

In a hurry to return to the kitchen to prepare dinner, she handed the job of taking care of the children to Li Li Xuewu, instructing him to go upstairs to change clothes after Han Han Jiankun came in.

Little Li Ning, wherever his sister ran, he would clumsily follow, holding the submachine gun his sister had finished playing with, like a little follower.

"Haha—"

Seeing his father enter the living room, he walked with a waddle, shaking as he followed his sister behind the sofa, as if he were afraid his father would chase him.

Two children are just livelier than one. As long as there is an age gap and they are well-educated, they won't fight and quarrel all day.

"Ouch—I'm hurt—" Li Li Xuewu was shot twice by his daughter again, sat on the sofa, clutching his chest and saying: "Who ambushed me? Come out quickly—"

"Giggle—"

Finally, someone was playing with her. Li Shu ran out wildly, intending to ambush Uncle Han in the foyer, but bumped right into her mother's leg.

Well, happy times are always short; the big devil met her mother.

Gu Ning had just entered the room when she encountered the bump. Seeing her daughter stand up by herself, she rubbed Li Shu's head and asked if it hurt.

"Doesn't hurt—" Li Shu pinched the gun in her hand a bit embarrassedly and explained: "I was playing a game with Dad."

"But you can't run in the house."

Gu Ning changed into slippers, took her into the living room, and reminded her: "This time you bumped into Mom. What if you bumped into the fish tank?"

She touched her daughter's forehead, afraid she had really bumped it, "You tell me, is the stone hard, or is your little head hard? If you bump it, it won't hurt."

"I hurt—" Li Shu pursed her little mouth and said: "Mom, I won't do it next time. I won't run in the house."

"Ji Wang Weidong came this afternoon."

Li Li Xuewu looked through the toy box on the floor; the toys inside had already been turned into a mess by Li Shu and Li Ning.

Gu Ning tucked the hair behind her ear, touched her son's little face, and asked: "Why is he back again?"

"Hehehe, I asked the same thing, and he even got angry with me."

Li Li Xuewu laughed and picked up his son, explaining: "There are a few people in the commercial tour group received by the Red Star Factory who want to see weapons and equipment."

"Your factory's business?" Gu Ning picked up her daughter, went upstairs with him, and said: "Didn't you say his mother is back?"

"Two different things. Wufengxing won't touch the arms business."

Li Li Xuewu walked upstairs with big strides, put his son on the ground, and signaled for him to walk by himself, "Ji Wang Weidong is back for a debriefing. He's made progress again."

"Is he still as unreliable as ever?"

Of the few friends Li Li Xuewu had, Gu Ning was most impressed by Ji Wang Weidong, "Bringing a box of toys from so far away?"

"Playing 'goose feather from a thousand miles' with me."

Li Li Xuewu amusedly handed his son to Gu Ning and went to take a shower and change clothes, "The suit I wore yesterday is ruined. I have to ask Master Li to make another one."

"Did you hear about what happened in Xidan last night?"

He poked his head out of the bathroom, looked at Gu Ning, and explained: "I happened to run into it on the way back from visiting the Chinese medicine shop."

"I heard it was..." Gu Ning was clearly startled, her face changed, and she looked blankly at Li Li Xuewu, saying: "A very serious accident..."

"My car was less than 50 meters away from the scene," Li Li Xuewu pursed his lips, turned to open the shower, and while washing, introduced: "I participated in the rescue work with Han Jiankun and another female colleague."

"It was already past seven when I returned to the factory last night. Because most of the injured masses were arranged at the factory hospital, I had to make preparations and response work, so I didn't come back. I was also afraid you would worry, so I didn't dare tell you the actual situation."

Last night, Han Han Jiankun had called home to tell Qin Qin Jingru that the two of them wouldn't be back that night and asked her to stay with Gu Ning for the night.

Li Li Xuewu had long reported to his family that once he was busy with work, he wouldn't come home.

Qin Qin Jingru and Gu Ning both thought he was busy with work and had heard about the Xidan shopping mall explosion, but they didn't put it together because it was too far away.

They never expected it was really this incident.

"Then you..." Gu Ning walked to the bathroom door and looked him over. Since he was standing here perfectly fine, he must not have been hurt, so she asked: "Are you going to participate in the investigation of this case?"

"They probably won't call me," Li Li Xuewu rubbed the water off his face and looked at Gu Ning, explaining: "The criminal investigation experts who arrived at the scene and I both believe the perpetrator is one of the five people who died at the scene."

"Revenge against society? Or..."

Gu Ning's face changed again. The vicious case she encountered when she was young had brought her long-lasting psychological trauma.

When she suddenly heard Li Li Xuewu's words, the first thing she thought of wasn't revenge against society, but a malicious attack.

"The perpetrator's identity hasn't been confirmed yet," Li Li Xuewu took a quick shower, pulled a bath towel to wipe his body, and introduced: "But it can be confirmed that he is a farmer from the rural areas of Liaodong, which rules out the possibility of a premeditated attack."

"Too dangerous—" Gu Ning frowned: "How did the person come to the capital, and how did he get the explosives? Did no one check him?"

"You asked the right question."

Li Li Xuewu wiped his body, and while putting on his pajamas, said: "The department is investigating this line overnight. At the very least, the Beijing Railway Station is going to be in trouble."

"Not just the Beijing Railway Station. From the place where the other party boarded the train, all the way to the place where he stayed after arriving in the capital, we need to check who was negligent."

In this day and age, it's really hard to move an inch without an introduction letter, but the perpetrator was able to travel by train from his rural hometown all the way to the capital and find the most prosperous shopping mall to carry out such a vicious terrorist act.

It can only be said that everyone on this line is finished.

At the same time, it can be seen that since the start of the Great Learning Campaign, management loopholes have appeared in localities and cities, in various systems, and in various fields.

Hearts are loose, and management is chaotic. This explosion attack is absolutely a powerful alarm bell, waking up quite a few people.

"Han Jiankun, stop working, sit."

After dinner, Qin Qin Jingru was tidying up the table, Gu Ning was taking Li Shu upstairs to study, and Li Ning was being naughty under the table.

Han Han Jiankun originally wanted to help his wife tidy up, but was refused by Qin Qin Jingru, who signaled for him to take care of Li Ning.

Seeing that Qin Qin Jingru didn't need help, Li Li Xuewu pointed to the seat beside him and greeted Han Han Jiankun to come over and sit down.

It seems children all like to crawl under tables and chairs. This doesn't need to be taught; Li Ning is just like that.

It's just that sometimes when he stands up, he hits his head. If someone is watching, he says 'ah ah' twice; if no one is watching, he just stays like that.

Crying is impossible to be real crying, because he doesn't have much strength when he stands up, and it doesn't hurt much when he bumps.

Li Li Xuewu didn't care about him. The sharp and dangerous things in the dining room had been dealt with, so he wasn't afraid of him crawling around.

Seeing that the leader called him, Han Han Jiankun knew there was something to say, so he put on a serious expression and sat on the chair Li Li Xuewu had just pointed to.

"If I remember correctly, you should have come to be my driver in the middle of the year before last."

Li Li Xuewu's opening remark made Han Han Jiankun's eyes widen involuntarily. He could already guess what the leader was going to say.

Qin Qin Jingru, who was tidying up in the kitchen, also stopped what she was doing and turned around to look.

The couple didn't speak, which made Li Li Xuewu feel awkward.

"Last night, Director Li suddenly mentioned you, saying he thought you were good."

He smiled and said gently: "Actually, I wanted to wait until the end of this year or the beginning of next year to talk to you about these things."

"There's no need to say much about the relationship between us. I trust you very much, and I have long had arrangements for you. I can't let you down."

"Leader—" Han Han Jiankun asked hesitantly: "Are you going to change drivers? I..."

"Listen to me finish," Li Li Xuewu pressed his palm and looked at him: "You are very good. Including me, Director Li is also very satisfied with you."

"He wants to arrange for you to be in charge of the agency's small motorcade. I think this is a rare good opportunity, so I agreed."

"If he hadn't brought it up himself, I'm afraid I would have had to wait until I was transferred to another place to arrange for you. This was my original plan."

"Leader, Han Jiankun is willing to be your driver," Qin Qin Jingru said nervously from the kitchen: "How can his brain handle..."

"Don't say that, and don't let your imagination run wild."

Li Li Xuewu waved his hand at her and said seriously: "Han Jiankun has been back from the military for several years. He has grown and been tempered. It is time to make arrangements."

"I very much hope you continue to serve me, but it cannot be at the expense of your future development and family stability."

He continued in a warm tone: "There is no banquet in the world that doesn't end. You are already married and preparing to have children with Qin Jingru. I can't let you follow me to work in another place."

"Originally, I wanted to arrange for you to work in the Security Division, any department would be fine, as long as you can stay in the capital and it's convenient to take care of your family."

Li Li Xuewu looked at Qin Qin Jingru and then at Han Han Jiankun: "I didn't expect Director Li to appreciate you so much. As your leader, I am also very pleased."

"The work of the agency motorcade is very important, but I believe you can handle it, just like you undertook this responsibility and trust when serving me."

"Thank you, Leader—"

Han Han Jiankun pursed his lips and looked at Li Li Xuewu gratefully: "I will definitely not let down your hope and trust in me."

"Good, this is the spirit a man needs," Li Li Xuewu nodded with a smile: "The reason I talked to you about this at home is because I am very satisfied with your work and trust your ability very much. Work hard."

"I will remember your entrustment."

Han Han Jiankun answered seriously, and then asked hesitantly: "Then who should I hand over my current work to?"

"Hmm, this is a bit troublesome," Li Li Xuewu thought for a while and asked: "You should know Nie Nie Xiaoguang, right?"

"The one who stabbed Director Li?" Han Han Jiankun asked very unexpectedly and suspiciously: "Isn't he caught by the Security Section? Could it be that you..."

"You first take over the work of the agency motorcade. Tomorrow I will have Li Kezhang Wang from the Personnel Division take you down," Li Li Xuewu frowned and thought for a while, then continued to arrange: "He will come to you to learn to drive. You take him for a while first."

"I understand," Han Han Jiankun was steady enough to know what to ask and what not to ask, and answered cleanly: "I will complete the work handover with him as soon as possible."

"Hmm, I trust you with your work."

Li Li Xuewu stood up, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Gu Cheng. He used to be quite good in the agency motorcade."

"Yes, I know," Han Han Jiankun stood up and said: "Then I will go to the Personnel Division to report tomorrow."

"Hmm, that's fine," Li Li Xuewu bent down, picked up Li Ning from the floor, and instructed with a smile: "You two should also hurry up and put in some effort."

"That—Leader—" Seeing that Li Li Xuewu had finished speaking and Han Han Jiankun had agreed, Qin Qin Jingru knew it wouldn't be good to talk about Han Han Jiankun's affairs again, but she still couldn't help asking: "What... what about me?"

"What do you mean what about you?" Li Li Xuewu was stunned and asked amusedly: "Do you need me to teach you how to have children?"

"No—" Qin Qin Jingru was so nervous that she ignored Li Li Xuewu's joke and looked at him: "Do you still need me to help at home?"

"What kind of talk is that?"

Li Li Xuewu held Li Ning and looked her over, saying with a smile: "Didn't I make it clear enough? It's Han Jiankun changing jobs. What does it have to do with you?"

"I—I—hehe," Qin Qin Jingru finally let go of the big stone in her heart when she heard him say this, smiled at a loss, and said: "If it has nothing to do with me—I mean, I'm going to tidy up the kitchen."

She was really a bit panicked. If Li Li Xuewu changed Han Jiankun and didn't need her anymore, then their couple would really have nothing to do with this family.

Who could understand her psychology of wanting to enjoy the shade under a big tree? Han Han Jiankun might not have had such a strong feeling, but as a rural girl, her desire to have someone to back her up after marrying into the city couldn't be stronger.

When the couple left Li Li Xuewu's house, it was almost eight o'clock, about the same time as usual. Han Han Jiankun pushed the bicycle, and she sat on the back seat.

"Tell me the truth," Qin Qin Jingru's voice carried thick anxiety: "Did you make the leader unhappy?"

"No," Han Han Jiankun's answer was consistently firm, just with a little less nagging and chatter today, and there was some thinking and hesitation in his heart.

Perhaps it was because Qin Qin Jingru heard this hesitation that she continued to pursue: "Then why did he replace you? Weren't you doing fine?"

"How do you want me to answer that question?"

Han Han Jiankun parked the bike steadily, turned his head to look at his wife and said: "You heard the leader's talk, didn't you?"

"Don't leaders all say one thing to your face and another behind your back?" Qin Qin Jingru looked at him and said: "Do you really believe what he said is true?"

"You really are—a smart one."

Han Han Jiankun really didn't know what to say. He looked at his wife, opened his mouth, and said: "If the leader wanted to fool me, he wouldn't have said it at home."

"Even if he hated me, he should have sent me back to the driver's squad or just sent me away somewhere, instead of promoting me to..."

"To manage the agency's small motorcade?"

Qin Qin Jingru frowned and reminded him: "That's only a section-level cadre position. Isn't it more glorious to follow him than those section chiefs?"

"Who told you it's section-level?" Han Han Jiankun curled his lips and corrected: "It's a deputy division-level unit."

"Didn't you say that a while ago—" Qin Qin Jingru also widened her eyes in surprise and said: "You told me that a section-level motorcade captain suddenly became the secretary to the factory leader."

"That's right, he was indeed a section-level motorcade captain before being the leader's secretary," Han Han Jiankun nodded and said: "But after he left, the agency system was reformed, and the agency motorcade belongs to the Committee Office, which is a deputy division-level unit."

"Ah? That means—"

Qin Qin Jingru looked at him and asked in disbelief: "Then you'll be a deputy division chief in the future? The same level as my sister?"

"Ahem, no need to call out specific positions at home, after all, we aren't outsiders," Han Han Jiankun kept all his humor and nagging for the person he loved most, "Just call me Leader."

"Call you a big head—"

Qin Qin Jingru slapped him with joy and scolded: "Hurry up and get on the bike. Tell Mom this good news before she goes to sleep."

"Actually, there's no need for that," Han Han Jiankun got on the bike and said deliberately: "My father's level was very high before, and my mother wasn't surprised."

"Go, can that be the same—"

Qin Qin Jingru patted his back and wrapped her arms around his waist, saying: "Mom always has surprises for her son."

"I bet you, if you say it when you get home, Mom will definitely be happy!"

"Hmm, I know—"

Han Han Jiankun was also very happy. Who wouldn't want to be a cadre? You could tell by how fast he pedaled the bike.

"Actually, I was mentally prepared long ago. The leader also said he wouldn't take me to another place. If he didn't arrange for me this time, when he leaves..."

"Don't sell yourself short after getting a bargain!"

Qin Qin Jingru wasn't overwhelmed by the surprise. After the anxiety, she quickly calmed down.

"I'm warning you not to get too carried away. You'll be smooth sailing with him there, but see what you do when he gets transferred."

"Also—" Before Han Han Jiankun could answer, she emphasized: "You also have to pay attention to his new driver. That person will be closer to him than you in the future."

Qin Qin Jingru hugged his waist and looked at the stars in the sky, saying: "If you aren't driving for him anymore, I have to be cautious at home. I can't ask about everything, and I can't ask about anything, or it will cause you trouble."

"This deputy division chief of yours didn't come easily. Don't let it be because of me..."

"Qin Qin Jingru," listening to the warm words of his lover behind him, Han Han Jiankun said with a smile: "Do you know that sometimes you are also very nagging?"

"I'm going to be pissed off by him!"

Zhou Zhou Miaomiao swung her racket vigorously, hitting the tennis ball away, as forcefully as the profanity she uttered.

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai on the opposite side easily caught it, even pulling a side ball on Zhou Zhou Miaomiao. The two were playing quite well.

"Why don't you go find him and ask?"

"Ask what? Will he admit it?"

Regarding Zhou Zhou Xiaobai's slightly naive question, Zhou Zhou Miaomiao curled her lips and said while panting: "I don't want to see him now. It's disgusting."

"Then what do you plan to do?"

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai's tennis technique was "truly passed down" by Li Li Xuewu. To summarize: her strength was average, but her play was indeed dirty.

Zhou Zhou Miaomiao was also a wild player. She found a book to read and asked someone who knew the ropes for advice, so she often came to the club to practice.

Like Zhou Zhou Xiaobai, they were both at the stage of being bad chess players, but they could play half a catty to eight taels, with the focus on entertainment.

In fact, neither of them had the desire to become professional athletes or play the technique very well. This was a social activity.

Because Li Li Xuewu liked to play, Zhou Zhou Xiaobai also dragged him to play as an activity or opportunity to get close to him, so if the superior likes it, the subordinate must follow.

"Hey, I don't need to take action," Zhou Zhou Miaomiao held the racket with both hands and bit her lip, saying: "Someone will deal with him."

"You wouldn't be—"

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai looked seriously at the big sister from the underworld opposite and reminded: "Zhao Wang Weidong is not easy to mess with either. Manager Dou might not necessarily..."

"Who said I was going to find Dou Dou Yaozu?"

Taking advantage of Zhou Zhou Xiaobai's dead ball, Zhou Zhou Miaomiao also stopped her movements, stretched out the towel on her waist to wipe the sweat on her face, and said panting: "It's not convenient to say specifically. Just wait and see him have bad luck. Come, another round."

"Aren't you bringing her?" Zhou Zhou Xiaobai signaled to the quiet beauty sitting on the sidelines with her racket and asked Zhou Zhou Miaomiao: "Did you bring her to see Li Ge?"

"Relax, I'm not the kind of person you think—" Zhou Zhou Miaomiao teased her amusedly: "Even if you can't trust me, can't you trust your Li Ge?"

"That's not what I meant."

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai glanced at the sidelines. She had no confidence in the other party's appearance and lacked the necessary trust in Zhou Zhou Miaomiao's words.

Can you expect her to trust the guarantee of a social butterfly?

Zhou Zhou Miaomiao's background had long been investigated clearly by her. From the first time the other party came to the club to participate in Li Ge's tennis social, Zhou Zhou Xiaobai had raised a sense of vigilance against this woman who looked pure and natural on the outside but was lewd and exposed on the inside.

If you don't investigate, you don't know; if you investigate, you get a shock. She didn't expect this one to be her big senior, who played even wilder than the circle she was in contact with now.

It can only be said that the old ping-pong circle in the capital is declining, one generation not as good as the next.

Even such a wild chicken could climb the branch to pretend to be a phoenix, and she was standing in another field and height to discriminate against this circle she once mixed in.

What else could she say? Despising Zhou Zhou Miaomiao is despising the circle she is in now.

"Look, the person you are waiting for is here."

Without answering Zhou Zhou Miaomiao's words, Zhou Zhou Xiaobai signaled outside the tennis court, where Li Li Xuewu was walking over with people.

"Hey, I say you are really something."

Ji Wang Weidong walked to the side of the tennis court and only then discovered that there were already three gold canaries inside. He couldn't help but laugh evilly.

"But brother has long since turned over a new leaf and returned to his family. Isn't it too bad for you to arrange this? Isn't this making things difficult for me?"

"Wipe it," Li Li Xuewu raised his finger and pointed at the corner of his mouth, saying with full disdain: "How old are you, and you're still drooling."

"Go away—" Ji Wang Weidong pushed his hand away, his eyes fixed on the few girls looking over in the tennis court, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, saying: "At our age, let alone drool, even nosebleeds won't flow—"

"But then again, these girls in the interior are really purer than the girls in Hong Kong, white without a single flaw. It really makes me nostalgic."

"Ahem—" Li Li Xuewu coughed lightly and reminded him softly: "The one you are looking at is already married. She doesn't count as a girl."

"... Who said that!" Ji Wang Weidong's mouth was harder than the steps of the tennis court. While walking into the tennis court, he muttered in a low voice: "The rules in Hong Kong are that as long as you haven't given birth to a child, you can still count as a girl."

"Hmm, this theory is quite advanced."

Hearing his lewd talk, Li Li Xuewu couldn't help but think of the explosive unspoken rules in the blind date market in later generations. It is said that those who have given birth to children but don't raise them can also be called girls.

"Hahaha, hello everyone."

Ji Wang Weidong was quite familiar. He took the initiative to greet the few people who walked over and said: "I am Li Li Xuewu's friend. How should I address you?"

"Hello, Li Kezhang Ji, my name is Zhou Zhou Miaomiao, and I work in the Foreign Affairs Office of the Red Star Factory," Zhou Zhou Miaomiao took the initiative to greet him generously and introduced the girl she brought: "This is Seeing Gu Li Aisha from our factory's dance troupe."

"My name is Zhou Zhou Xiaobai..."

"Wait—" Before Zhou Zhou Xiaobai could finish her self-introduction, Ji Wang Weidong turned his head in surprise and looked at Li Li Xuewu, asking: "Did you introduce them to me in advance?"

"Crazy—" Li Li Xuewu couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, but he did glance at Seeing Gu Li Aisha, who was slightly lowering her head, and turned to go to the tennis court to change shoes.

"Li Kezhang Ji, I know you."

Without waiting for Li Li Xuewu to explain, Zhou Zhou Miaomiao smiled and took the initiative to introduce: "I know your wife, General Manager Han. I've heard her mention you."

"You know Han Han Yating?" Now it was Ji Wang Weidong's turn to be surprised. He turned his head and glared at Li Li Xuewu. The meaning was: Are you doing this on purpose?

Arranged so grandly, and it turned out to be someone Han Han Yating knew?

"Yes, the Foreign Affairs Office has quite a lot of business communication with the International Hotel," Zhou Zhou Miaomiao saw something and explained with a suppressed smile: "There is a group photo of your family on General Manager Han's desk. I still remember you."

"Oh my, I'm really sorry."

Ji Wang Weidong immediately restrained his playfulness and began to greet Zhou Zhou Miaomiao politely.

When he looked at Zhou Zhou Xiaobai again, he was quite polite and said: "Sorry, my reaction was a bit big just now, and I didn't hear your introduction clearly."

"It doesn't matter, I'm insignificant."

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai really didn't give him face and said very bluntly: "I don't know you, and I don't know General Manager Han. You can just pretend I don't exist."

"Hahaha—" Ji Wang Weidong was really embarrassed now. How could he argue with a little girl? He just turned his head and glared at Li Li Xuewu.

Where did you find this girl? Not gentle at all!

"Zhou Zhou Xiaobai, Zhou Zhennan's daughter."

Li Li Xuewu was even more straightforward than Zhou Zhou Xiaobai. He faced Ji Wang Weidong's complaining gaze and introduced directly: "She is now the General Manager of the Jinmen Shunfeng Trading Joint Venture Company."

"Hahaha, I knew Li Li Xuewu couldn't introduce just anyone to me," Ji Wang Weidong took the initiative to reach out to Zhou Zhou Xiaobai and said politely: "My father is Ji Ji Ruixuan. Very happy to meet you. Sorry, General Manager Zhou."

"It doesn't matter, everyone has times when they misjudge."

It could be heard that Zhou Zhou Xiaobai really cared about his impolite behavior just now. Her tone was still sharp.

However, Ji Wang Weidong was also a person who knew how to behave and speak even better. Li Li Xuewu broke Zhou Zhou Xiaobai's background, which meant he didn't treat him as an outsider.

When he greeted Zhou Zhou Xiaobai, he also reported his father's name very straightforwardly, showing his respect for Zhou Zhou Xiaobai.

In fact, with his current status, he should have avoided his father's name, but this was also to accommodate Zhou Zhou Xiaobai, which was a kind of apology.

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai received both the respect and the apology, so her tone softened a lot.

"Li Kezhang Ji, just call me Zhou Xiaobai. 'General Manager Zhou' is just Li Ge being protective of me and joking. Don't take it to heart."

"Hahaha, really amazing."

Ji Wang Weidong turned his head and glared at Li Li Xuewu, his eyes almost eating him. Good for you, Li Li Xuewu, playing with me, huh?

Having met Zhou Zhou Miaomiao and Zhou Zhou Xiaobai, he looked at Seeing Gu Li Aisha in order. The exploration in his eyes couldn't be more obvious. He almost directly asked: Who is your father, and do you have any relationship with my wife?

"Li Kezhang Ji, hello," Seeing Gu Li Aisha explained awkwardly: "I'm really just an ordinary person..."

"Hahaha, too interesting."

Ji Wang Weidong decided that Li Li Xuewu was deliberately playing with him. He really was a good enough friend. (He said this through gritted teeth)

But Li Li Xuewu was wronged. He never thought Zhou Zhou Miaomiao would bring Seeing Gu Li Aisha, nor did he know they knew each other.

"Can you play tennis too?"

"I can't, Leader," Seeing Gu Li Aisha didn't expect Li Li Xuewu to take the initiative to talk to her and looked at Zhou Zhou Miaomiao at a loss.

Zhou Zhou Miaomiao saw some clues and took the initiative to explain: "Leader, Seeing Gu Li Aisha is an actor in our dance troupe. I heard that our factory's radio station is recruiting literary and artistic broadcast actors, so I wanted to recommend her to you."

"You also know that our factory recruited more than 300 people in one go last year, especially after the theater was established this year, there are even more literary and artistic actors."

She held Seeing Gu Li Aisha's hand and said: "Dance actors are eating youth rice. The earlier you change careers, the more obvious the advantage. Look at her..."

"Hasn't she told you?" Li Li Xuewu glanced at Seeing Gu Li Aisha and said to Zhou Zhou Miaomiao: "We've known each other for a long time."

"Ah? I—" Although Zhou Zhou Miaomiao saw it, she still pretended to be surprised: "I really didn't know this."

After saying that, she looked at Seeing Gu Li Aisha and asked with a smile: "Why didn't you say you knew the Secretary-General earlier? It made me so embarrassed—"

Seeing Gu Li Aisha lowered her head, hesitating about how to explain, but Li Li Xuewu took the initiative to help her out: "She also knows Li Xue. We met by chance at the shopping mall. At that time, she was still in college, and Li Xue was in high school."

"Then you really have fate."

Ji Wang Weidong's eyeballs rolled around looking at Li Li Xuewu and Seeing Gu Li Aisha, and he said with an evil smile: "How does that saying go? Gathering from a thousand miles away, not knowing each other when facing each other."

"Hehe—" Zhou Zhou Xiaobai looked at him coldly and said: "General Manager Han is right. Sometimes you really don't look very reliable."

"Hmm?" Ji Wang Weidong turned his head abruptly and looked at Zhou Zhou Xiaobai in surprise: "Didn't you say you didn't know Han Han Yating?"

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai: "Hehe—"
