Chapter 1313: June Cannot Be Without Barbecue

Half of the three-year plan has passed, and the Red Star Steel Group is moving toward standardization and group operation.

According to current progress, the overall relocation of the steel rolling industry will definitely be achieved next year, at which point the retention of some employees will become a problem.

Traveling thousands of miles, young employees who are unmarried or just married don't really mind; they can work anywhere as long as the benefits and treatment keep up.

But for those who are older, it is inconvenient to drag their families along, and the elderly and children will find it difficult to enjoy the factory's medical and educational resources.

Furthermore, for dual-income families where the couple is not in the same unit, they cannot be separated in two different places; there are too many problems here.

It is not easy to have a job in this day and age. For families with many children, many are still living off their parents; without an arrangement, how can they easily make a decision?

Dedication also comes with costs.

Fortunately, the factory values these issues even more than they do. On one hand, it is building employee dormitories and worker villages in Steel City and Feng City; on the other hand, it is striving to solve the employment problems of the children of employees in Beijing.

Those who could go to the joint schools have basically all been recruited, and those remaining, except for very special circumstances, are all the "academic dregs" who were screened out.

Academic dregs are also employees' children, and their employment problems must also be solved.

Joint units don't need to be considered; they themselves have a pile of employment problems waiting to be handled.

Li Huai De is worried, and Li Li Xuewu can only help him share the burden by solving these problems bit by bit.

Since the Joint Savings Bank opened its mortgage and car loan programs, one can clearly feel that the internal economy of Red Star Factory employees has become active.

The money previously kept in their hands has flowed back into the internal supply and demand market.

This is a good thing. If employees all save money and don't spend it, who will drive consumption in the factory's internal supply and marketing system?

With tens of thousands of employees, the consumption power is terrifying.

Not being satisfied is a welfare issue; being satisfied beyond expectations is a sales issue.

It is difficult. Managing a factory is difficult, and managing a group is even more difficult.

Old Li has started studying now; just imagine how difficult it is to be in management.

Speaking of learning, the daily study of the enterprise management layer mainly involves three aspects: ideological theory, business technology, and management empowerment.

All leaders are studying these three aspects. Regardless of whether they are professional, proficient, or able to apply them, they must study, and study deeply.

It seems special that Li Li Xuewu invited aircraft experts to provide remedial lessons, but in fact, there are many such remedial lessons, and they are major lessons at that.

Before weekly study meetings, or important negotiations, activities, and policy releases, the Committee Office organizes experts to give lectures to the leadership team members.

Leaders are not omnipotent; they also have many areas of knowledge they are not good at or don't understand, yet they cannot avoid making decisions.

Therefore, they must hold meetings to research, listen to experts' opinions, deliberate on relevant opinions, and empower the leaders responsible for deliberation.

A common complaint is that the organs are sluggish in their work, often holding meetings to research a single matter repeatedly, and by the time a result is researched, the opportunity has already passed.

Such situations exist, but the problem lies not in a cautious management attitude, but in the lack of an administrative responsibility and authority system.

When formulating the institutional reform plan for the Red Star Steel Group, Li Li Xuewu fully considered this point and communicated with the leaders in the team.

One cannot simply delegate power and then wash one's hands of it, ignoring and not asking; this is an extremely irresponsible behavior.

It is irresponsible to one's own work and irresponsible to the comrades below.

Empower the branches and empower the business; let frontline business personnel have a certain degree of business execution capability and a relatively systematic and loose scope of execution.

Within the framework of the system, behaviors that are conducive to the development and progress of the group and do not violate relevant regulations and constraints can all be coordinated.

Branch leaders possess relatively independent management authority and decision-making authority, and their control over opportunities will absolutely be precise and in place.

At the same time, the group company must strictly formulate relevant systems to ensure the use and transparency of authority, refine the scope of business, and refine the scope of management.

This is a huge and meticulous project. Li Li Xuewu organized multiple departments and coordinated professors and students from the Joint School to participate in this work.

It took nearly three months to complete the first draft.

A country has its laws, and a family has its rules.

Group operations have norms and systems. Only by building a framework and paving the way can there be laws to follow and rules to abide by.

In the process of further promoting institutional reform, technical reform, and personnel reform, the group also attaches great importance to the implementation of employee welfare and treatment.

Li Huai De repeatedly urged Li Li Xuewu to coordinate relevant departments and report the specific situation to the competent leaders.

Li Li Xuewu has communicated and reported to Xiong Xiong Bencheng, who is in charge of union work; Zhang Jinsong, who is in charge of logistics; Su Weide, who is in charge of safety; and Gu Gu Weijie, who is in charge of education and medical work.

The Joint Savings Bank's loan program is just a basic experiment to verify the enthusiasm and initiative of enterprise employees' children in participating in labor.

On this basis, the group will organize multi-faceted business expansion, and recruitment for newly built tertiary industries and joint industries will be tilted toward them.

Of course, the intensity must be controlled.

Li Li Xuewu is very clear that at the end of this year, there will be a major action regarding youth employment, and corresponding layouts must be made around this time.

Appropriately release some businesses and positions to attract employees' children with high labor and production enthusiasm.

In this process, one must experience the year-end action, and in the subsequent process, it will also provide opportunities for talents who have been tempered in the countryside in the form of returning to the city for recruitment.

Red Star Steel Group's business and production are in an expansion period and will continuously create businesses and positions.

The group's employment has clearly required only a few channels, but it will not hinder the needs of social employment.

For example, porters, loaders, transport teams, labor teams, etc.

The group is gradually clearing out temporary workers; even regular workers are being compressed, let alone temporary workers.

In the past two years, Red Star Factory has not recruited a single temporary worker. Not only that, but the assessment of temporary workers is also being increased.

With a one-year term, those who are qualified become regular, and those who are unqualified are cleared out.

In the future, there will be no such thing as temporary workers in Red Star Factory. The work previously done by temporary workers will be executed in the form of internal coordination or business outsourcing.

Employees' children can organize and prepare labor cooperation groups, and under the condition of possessing work qualifications, they can take over corresponding labor businesses.

From the implementation of the standard last year to June of this year, in over a year, Red Star Factory has cleared out over 1,500 temporary workers and cleared out over 100 regular workers due to disciplinary violations.

In the list of cleared-out regular and temporary workers, fighting and brawling during that period accounted for a particularly large proportion, which is what Red Star Factory cannot tolerate the most.

On one hand, it is compressing and adjusting the internal employee structure; on the other hand, it is shedding temporary workers and shedding marginal, low-value businesses.

With people and money, Red Star Steel Group is acting very willfully. In the process of being willful, internal cohesion and cleanliness are significantly improving.

During the period when Li Li Xuewu was in charge of the Security Group, he handled a particularly large number of cadres. Violations of discipline were one aspect, and laziness and slackness were also to be handled.

If you are squatting in the latrine and not shitting, then move him away and go squat somewhere else.

I heard that the new Deputy Director Su is very humane, but the Security Group's system is strict, and the people below still follow the previous work system.

This also reflects Li Li Xuewu's influence in Red Star Factory and his influence in the Security Group.

However, the Security Group is about to complete its split. The major brigades have basically completed construction and adjustment. The Security Division operates independently, training is transferred to the Personnel Division, discipline inspection is transferred to the Organization Department, and some supervisory duties are transferred to the Audit Division.

The Quality, Safety, and Environmental Protection Department was established, with the Quality Supervision Division, Security Division, Fire Division, and Safety and Environmental Protection Division under it.

The competent leader is Su Weide, the department manager is Wang Wang Xiaoqin, and the deputy manager is Yu Yu Decai.

Zhou Yao serves as the Chief of the Security Division, Tai Juncai, who was transferred from a merged enterprise, serves as the Chief of the Safety and Environmental Protection Division, and Zhou Zechuan, whom Su Weide requested from above, serves as the Chief of the Discipline Inspection Division.

However, the Discipline Inspection Division was carved out and is no longer under his management. Because of this allocation, Su Weide smashed a cup in his office.

Doesn't this mean cutting off one of his arms?

Regarding the levels of large departments and small divisions, readers who have worked in enterprises should be clear that a "Chief" is not necessarily a "Division-level cadre."

The organ divisions have lost their original rank attributes here and belong to small administrative units under the large departments.

"Chief" is a job title, while "Division-level cadre" is an administrative rank.

Therefore, Zhou Yao's Security Division Chief is still at the section level; it is not that she has progressed, but that the Security Section she manages has progressed.

This is a manifestation of the group's institutional promotion. It sounds complicated, but it is very clear in the normal enterprise management sequence.

No one will call their leader's rank wrong, and no one will not know their leader's administrative rank. Of course, those not in the system don't understand.

The split of the Security Group also marks the official crossing of Red Star Factory's organizational departments toward group-level large departments.

The Quality, Safety, and Environmental Protection Department moved first, and the second one to change is the Organization Management Department.

Because the two large departments are related in the process of adjusting relevant business and organizational departments, they are changed one after another.

Correspondingly, the Personnel and Labor Department followed closely, and the Financial Control Department, which is closely related to personnel work, was ranked after the change of the Personnel and Labor Department.

The Production Management Department, Technical Management Department, and Dispatch and Transport Department are highly related, and the three large departments were changed one after another.

The Business Management Department and Engineering Management Department are related, and they were also changed one after another.

Then there are the Enterprise Propaganda Department and Marketing Management Department, as well as the Workers' Union, which have relatively independent businesses and were ranked last.

Did I miss one?

That's right, the Comprehensive Management Department, the large department responsible by the Secretary-General.

Unlike other departments that complete changes according to the order under the guidance and help of the Committee Office, the Committee Office's own crossing toward the Comprehensive Management Department is continuous.

That is to say, since Li Li Xuewu took office, relevant change work has already been executed and implemented.

The Comprehensive Management Department has three divisions under it: the General Manager's Office, the Comprehensive Office, and the Party Committee Office.

As for why Liang Zuodong has been so active recently, he and Bai Changshan are in an awkward position of "not going up means going down."

Li Li Xuewu is now the Secretary-General and concurrently the Director of the Committee Office, and the two of them are proper Deputy Directors of the Committee Office.

Can the Committee Office cross over to the Comprehensive Management Department, and can the two of them logically serve as Deputy Managers of the Management Department?

No, strictly speaking, serving as the head of a division is also possible; it just depends on how they are used.

Although Bai Changshan knows he will leave sooner or later, his position in the group also determines his position at Beijing No. 1 Factory in the future.

Therefore, both of them are planning for the position of Deputy Manager of the Comprehensive Management Department.

Why not seek the position of Manager?

It's very simple: Li Li Xuewu will definitely serve concurrently as the Manager of the Comprehensive Management Department.

Not only him, but other large department managers, in the absence of suitable candidates, especially during the special period of department initial construction and group structure adjustment, the competent leaders will probe down and serve concurrently as department managers.

In this process, the competent leaders must examine whether their department deputies have the ability to replace them in serving as competent leaders.

Liang Zuodong wants to gain Li Li Xuewu's recognition, show his due ability, and guard against the cross-appointment of cadres from other departments.

That is why he has been so busy recently.

Of course, the construction of the group's large departments cannot be completed in a day or a month.

The adjustment work of the Security Group started early at the beginning of the year and only ended in June. The time span is very large, which is related to the first adjusted department and also related to the complexity of work and business.

From now until the end of next year, large departments will be established and adjusted during this period.

For the group operation of Red Star Factory, Li Li Xuewu helped Li Huai De and a group of leaders research and plan multiple steps.

Judging from the current work progress and results, the effect is gratifying.

Except for Deputy Director Su, who felt he was being calculated and sidelined and was dissatisfied and smashed a cup, everyone else was quite satisfied.

Especially Yu Yu Decai, who finally suffered through it and finally got the position of Deputy Manager.

Although he is a Deputy Manager, Wang Wang Xiaoqin holds several positions, and he is still presiding over some of the work of the Quality and Safety Department.

Except for the Security Division, the Security Division after compressing its establishment is even sharper. This institutional reform is like a whetstone, sharpening the precious sword Li Li Xuewu has been raising, revealing the truly ruthless side of the Security Division.

By reason, the Security Division should be placed under the Comprehensive Management Department, that is, under the responsibility of Secretary-General Li Li Xuewu.

But in this way, Li Li Xuewu is again responsible for security work, which is what Li Huai De is unwilling to see.

Added to the consideration of Wang Wang Xiaoqin's work, the Security Division is very special and was arranged under the Quality and Safety Department.

Sometimes the organ system is just this complicated; perhaps because of people, some departments are very strange.

Li Li Xuewu once encountered a situation where the Financial Director managed personnel and the office; this depends on how the top leader makes the division of labor.

This time is the same. Li Huai De doesn't like Su Weide and insists on putting Wang Wang Xiaoqin between him and the department; who can do anything about it?

The top leader has the right to make adjustments to the division of labor. You, Su Weide, came down from above; are you no longer a member of the team?

Once the large department pattern is set, the real struggle is about to begin.

"Aunt Liu, haven't you cooked yet?"

Qin Qin Huairu entered from outside the courtyard and happened to see Li Li Xuewu's mother, Liu Yin, coaxing several children to play in the outer courtyard outside the inverted house.

The hanging flower gate wall of the Sihe Academy faces outward, and the inverted house faces inward, belonging to the outer courtyard. The outer courtyard is bounded by the left and right of the hanging flower gate or shadow wall, opening two screen doors leading to the "school."

Earlier, the main gate was in the southeast corner, which is the Xun position. The left hand side upon entering was more spacious and used for receiving guests or as a private school.

If there was no east courtyard on the right hand side, it was used as a gatehouse, stable, or toilet.

Whether this not-so-large courtyard between the screen door and the west courtyard door had rich young masters studying here in the past is unknown, but now it has become the Sihe Academy's amusement park, an activity place for small children.

Except for noon, the low courtyard wall can always block the strong sunlight. Bougainvillea is planted in the corner of the wall, and the flowers are bright and not vulgar.

Several wooden horses, several small tables, and several small chairs are placed in the courtyard, and children from several families gather together to play.

The older Li Shu, the younger He Zhuang, Wen Yuan, Li Tang, Li Ning. After school, 7-year-old Zhang Zhang Xinmin will also come.

Those responsible for taking care of these children are either those working here or relatives.

The old lady, Liu Yin, the eldest aunt, Di Di Liya, Fei Fei Shanying, and sometimes Zhao Zhao Yafang will also come to see the children when she is not working.

But most of the time, it is still the old lady and the eldest aunt here. The younger ones are all busy, and even Liu Yin has to take care of the family's affairs.

It's not a big deal, just housework for a few people, starting from opening their eyes in the morning until going to sleep at night, without stopping.

"I don't need to cook today; Zhuzi said he would cook." Liu Yin laughed and handed a water bottle to her grandson, responding to Qin Qin Huairu's greeting: "Are you just off work?"

"Just off work, bought some vegetables from the unit." Qin Qin Huairu smiled and said: "The celery is quite tender. Do you want to keep some? It's very fragrant when stir-fried."

"Forget it, Zhuzi said he would buy vegetables back." Liu Yin waved her hand, watching the children and said: "Go do your business."

"Hey, by the way," seeing Qin Qin Huairu about to pass, she added: "I heard from your mother-in-law that your matter is settled?"

"Which day? If you need help, just speak up, don't hold back."

"Nothing needs help, and we aren't holding a ceremony." Qin Qin Huairu smiled, "Thinking of waiting until the end of the year when the house is ready to tidy up together."

"Oh, that's not half a year away." Liu Yin asked in surprise: "Then you are running back and forth for these six months?"

"He also has a house, and the children on both sides are grown up."

Qin Qin Huairu felt embarrassed to talk about her partner's situation in front of Li Li Xuewu, but she had nothing to hide from Aunt Liu, and couldn't hide it anyway.

With her mother-in-law's mouth, which is not much tighter than a cotton trouser waist, who could hide such a thing?

"Alright, you go ahead, if you need me, don't be polite."

Watching Qin Qin Huairu enter the hanging flower gate, with greetings coming from the courtyard wall, Liu Yin clicked her tongue at the naughty little ones in the courtyard.

They say twenty isn't pretty, thirty is pretty, and thirty is pretty enough to scream.

Qin Qin Huairu's age is just right; she has elders above, children below, a successful career, and both a son and a daughter, just lacking a pillar.

When she didn't have one, she was called a widow and had to be gossiped about; when she found one, she had to be discussed; now that she finally found one, there is still gossip.

Otherwise, why do the old sayings say there is a lot of right and wrong in front of a widow's door? From the day a woman becomes a widow, she is destined to attract eyes and attention.

Listening to Jia Jia Zhangshi's tone when chatting, this old woman is not very willing for Qin Qin Huairu to date this man.

The reason is simple: the other party's conditions are not better than Qin Qin Huairu's.

An ordinary employee on the railway, widowed in middle age, with two little girls; being able to find a wife like Qin Qin Huairu is like burning high incense.

Of course, this depends on which aspect you look at it from. Qin Qin Huairu didn't choose a partner with cadre status but wanted this one instead. Anyone can see that she doesn't want to suffer a loss.

First, the other party only has two girls, no burden, no need to earn family property for a son; second, the other party's status is not higher than hers, and forming a family won't mean suffering the other party's anger.

Don't even think about it; the former Qin Qin Huairu might still have had a submissive personality, but now she is different.

I can't say she is bossy, but in the unit, she is at least a Deputy Section Chief, managing so many people.

After three years of tempering, she has long had a strong temperament and bearing. If she were to suffer anger at home, what would be the point of getting married?

A railway employee, forty-something yuan a month, the salary is roughly half of hers, but it is enough to support the family.

The person is honest and dutiful, raised two girls, and isn't everything earned for Bang Geng? That's what Qin Qin Huairu is thinking.

Otherwise, why say she has many schemes? She bought a house in the factory in advance, just for her mother-in-law and children to live in.

And her? That depends on what the other party thinks.

Either buy another one with the factory, or live in the house allocated by the railway; in any case, the couple cannot be separated.

This is also forcing the other party to take out savings to buy another one. When the two girls move out, it will be just right to live with her son.

The calculation is like this, but the specifics still depend on the actual situation.

The other party is naturally satisfied when seeing her. Li Li Xuewu doesn't think much of it, riding a bike that isn't fun, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is still 90% new.

Qin Qin Huairu seems to be holding out for a price, giving the other party a six-month buffer period; if they want to get married, they must show something.

The house in this courtyard is only so big; getting married and living together is definitely not enough space. How to move around depends on the other party.

Liu Yin is clicking her tongue at this; when a woman becomes shrewd, she really calculates even her own people.

Fortunately, she couldn't hold out anymore and wanted to find a man to marry, otherwise she would have to calculate her own son.

Don't think Liu Yin doesn't know about her business; why should her second son take care of her? Just because they are neighbors in the same courtyard?

Of course, she can't count how many romantic debts her son has now, and she doesn't know how many there are; one more Qin Qin Huairu doesn't make a difference.

It's just that the one right in front of her is not quite right. Every time Qin Qin Huairu greets her, she has a strange feeling.

She always feels that this Qin Qin Huairu, who looks like a vixen, has ulterior motives, and is even more afraid that her belly will bulge and she will claim it is Li's seed.

Speaking of this, it is perhaps the only thing Liu Yin is relatively satisfied with regarding her son's private life: he doesn't sow seeds in his own land.

If a woman really came to the house with a big belly to act shamelessly and recognize a relative, she wouldn't know how to face the in-laws or how to have the face to stay in this courtyard.

This also shows that her second son is romantic, but he has a bottom line and his brain is not muddled.

She doesn't know what the eldest son and his wife are thinking; perhaps they don't want to have more children, and the second son's family is the same.

In the end, the Li family's fourth generation has become a pattern of three boys and one girl. Li Shu, this big treasure, has really become a single flower.

"Daddy——Daddy——"

Li Shu's ears are very sharp. She knows what car is passing through the Jinyu Hutong, and she can definitely tell if it's her daddy's car.

Even if her daddy changed to a small sedan, it's the same. Smart children always make people both happy and headache-prone.

"Dad——Dad——" Li Ning heard his sister's chirping, raised his head from the sand pile and called twice. After reacting, he stood up and ran anxiously to the west courtyard gate with his short legs.

Just afraid that the children would run around and have an accident, both the screen door and the west courtyard door threshold had leg-tripping doors made.

What is a leg-tripping door?

It is a half-cut door block that an adult can step over in one step, but a child cannot pass.

The Volga sedan drove into the west courtyard. After Li Li Xuewu got off, Nie Nie Xiaoguang drove the car to turn around in the courtyard.

Li Shu and Li Ning stood in front of the leg-tripping door, jumping and shouting for their daddy, full of excitement.

Actually, it hasn't been long since they last saw him, and it's not deep father-daughter or father-son affection; it's just that the two children are showing off that their daddy came to pick them up first.

"Oh, which one should I hug first?"

Li Li Xuewu squatted in front of the small door, looked at the son and daughter and teased: "It's hard to choose, my head hurts."

"Just teasing, you coax them if you make them cry." Liu Yin laughed and scolded her son: "Li Ning cried for a while this afternoon, just being annoying."

"Is that so? Li Ning cried?" Li Li Xuewu smiled and looked at his son: "Didn't we agree when Daddy sent you here this morning that you would be obedient at Grandma's house?"

"Mommy——" Li Ning's walking was steady, but he couldn't speak completely. When he was anxious about something, he would shout sharply.

Now that he knew he was being scolded, he wanted his mommy very aggrievedly.

This means that he cried this afternoon because he missed his mommy, not because he was disobedient.

"Daddy hug brother first, brother cried." Li Shu was older after all and sensible, "I'll wait a while before being hugged."

"Then was Li Shu very obedient?"

Li Li Xuewu didn't hug either of them, because Li Tang and Wen Yuan in the small courtyard were watching with envy.

He touched Li Shu's little hand, signaled to the courtyard and said: "Go get your schoolbag from Grandma, let's go home for dinner."

Every morning when they were sent here, Li Shu would carry a small schoolbag, sewn by Qin Qin Jingru, containing the siblings' change of clothes, snacks, and water cups. There was another set of other things here.

Raising children is not easy; one must always guard against them having special situations. Raising children also requires patience and cannot be scolded loudly, otherwise, at a young age, it is inevitable that they will develop a fear psychology.

Li Shu followed Grandma into the inverted house to get the schoolbag, and Li Li Xuewu stepped into the courtyard, teasing the children.

In the gatehouse, Zhuzi and Yan Yan Jiefang came in together, still discussing something, and greeted him with a smile when they saw him here.

"Coming early is not as good as coming coincidentally; eat here tonight." Zhuzi picked up the net bag in his hand and signaled: "I bought vegetables."

"It's not easy to get off work early, eat at home." Li Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, signaled to Yan Yan Jiefang and asked: "Collecting the car early today."

"Hey, it's not early, the car broke." Yan Yan Jiefang smiled and scratched his head, "Loaded too much, the tire burst."

"Hehe, that delayed things." Li Li Xuewu smiled and signaled to Zhuzi, saying: "Is your car also working?"

"The street motorcade is using it, saying they are sending goods out these few days." Zhuzi entered the outer courtyard and hung the net bag on the windowsill, "I mentioned it to him the day before yesterday, this car can't be used like this."

"I saw that the cargo package wasn't very heavy, who would have thought it would press the car so much." Yan Yan Jiefang waved his hand at the cigarette Zhuzi handed over and signaled to the children in the courtyard without lighting it, "If I had known, I would have bought a Big Golden Bull."

Currently, the light cargo tricycles of Red Star Factory are generally running on the streets, without a canopy, with a load of about 500 kilograms.

There is also a Big Golden Bull, a heavy cargo tricycle, with a load of 1.5 tons, and the car price is only 300 yuan more expensive.

Yan Yan Jiefang is regretting it now. If he had gritted his teeth and bought a Big Golden Bull, he wouldn't be unable to pull a heavy load.

"You are being a Monday-morning quarterback." Zhuzi pointed at him, "I'll teach you a trick, it's guaranteed to work."

"Since there are many people buying this car now, and your car is new, hurry up and sell this car and change to the big one."

Yan Yan Jiefang didn't light the cigarette, and Zhuzi also held the cigarette in his hand without lighting it, teasingly saying: "Of course, you have to change the tire first, otherwise this trick won't work."

"It's just a bit painful." Yan Yan Jiefang has been running cargo for a month, and he has lost a whole circle.

Obviously, he is darker, and his hair is shaved short, just for the convenience of working and tidying up.

Now he is squatting outside the small door with a shoulder shawl for carrying bags, pondering: "If you calculate the discount, our brothers have basically worked for nothing this month."

"Long pain is not as good as short pain, kid."

Zhuzi laughed and pointed at him, "If you don't believe me, ask the leader and see if what I said is the truth."

"You, you can't just look at what's in front of you, you have to look further." He took the big teacup on the windowsill, took a gulp, wiped his mouth and said: "Wait until you bring the Big Golden Bull back and see."

"You can pull a ton with a 500kg Little Golden Bull on weekdays, pulling two tons with a Big Golden Bull is no problem!"

He pinched his fingers and gestured to emphasize: "You pull one trip, others pull two or four trips, how do you calculate the money earned?"

"How does that saying go?" He couldn't remember, looked at Li Li Xuewu, "It's the one about having a good axe for heavy work."

"If a workman wishes to do his work well, he must first sharpen his tools." Li Li Xuewu smiled and said: "If you don't understand it, can't you just not say it?"

"Hey! It's just having a good axe!"

Zhuzi smiled and pointed at Yan Yan Jiefang, and teased Li Li Xuewu: "I actually wanted to say that if you don't have a diamond drill, don't take on porcelain work, but then I thought, that's not right, hahaha——"

"Hahaha——" Li Li Xuewu and Yan Yan Jiefang also laughed. This Zhuzi is the best at joking around in the courtyard.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my family tonight, I'll listen to you." Yan Yan Jiefang really listens to advice. Seeing Li Shu and her grandma coming out, he stood up and said: "I'll invite you to drink when the Big Golden Bull is brought back."

"Forget about drinking, any day is fine." Zhuzi was polite, held the big teacup and signaled to the departing Yan Yan Jiefang to say to Li Li Xuewu: "See that? Changing the car without blinking an eye, that's because he's making money, otherwise if you put a knife to his neck, he wouldn't do it."

"I can tell." Li Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, took his daughter's small schoolbag, and asked him: "Aren't you envious?"

"What's the use of being envious? Should I go run it, or should I let my son go run it?" Zhuzi teased at the children playing in the sand, "When he grows up, I'll definitely buy him a Big Golden Bull."

"Go, how old are you." Liu Yin laughed and scolded him: "Who doesn't hope their son will be successful, you are just talking nonsense."

"Hey, I don't dare to ask him to be successful." Zhuzi saw Li Li Xuewu about to leave and sent him out, "Don't look at Yan Yan Jiefang like that, he definitely makes no less than this number a day!"

He gestured with a palm, "If I weren't reluctant to give up this job, I'd really want to quit and go run transport."

"Five yuan a day, that's 150 yuan a month," he calculated: "Even if you deduct the oil and wear and tear, you'd still have 80 or 90 yuan left."

"Keep dreaming, with your character, can you keep up with the Yan family brothers' ability to endure hardship?"

Li Li Xuewu watched the two little ones get into the car from the door opened by Nie Nie Xiaoguang, stood in the west courtyard and said to Zhuzi: "Just do your job well, don't talk nonsense, that money is not something you can earn."

"Hey——just joking." Zhuzi nodded knowingly, looked at Li Li Xuewu and asked seriously: "Did Qin Qin Huairu tell you about opening a shop in the city?"

"She told me, and I'm quite optimistic about this matter." Li Li Xuewu nodded and told him: "First solve the problem of profit distribution and legitimacy, then the location and operation are up to you."

"How did you know I was involved in this?" Zhuzi asked with a smile: "Did Qin Qin Huairu tell you? I haven't even thought it through yet."

"She didn't say, I guessed it myself." Li Li Xuewu patted his arm and said: "I've known you had this intention for a long time."

"Alright, let's plan it out, take action after you have a proper plan, there are plenty of suitable locations in the city, no rush."

"Next year, stability is important." Zhuzi replied understandingly: "This matter still needs Qin Qin Huairu to organize, I don't understand this."

"I'm also pondering with Master Master Qian. He's about to reach retirement age, Director Li might not let him go."

He leaned close to Li Li Xuewu and whispered: "It's not suitable to put it in the factory, it's better to open a restaurant outside, it's more generous."

"Hmm, well thought out." Li Li Xuewu understood his meaning, "Think about how to arrange it, you can't do a restaurant without a team."

"And I have to remind you."

He pointed at Zhuzi's chest and said seriously: "This is the brand of Red Star Factory's guesthouse, don't mess around."

"Understood, my thinking is correct." Zhuzi raised his eyebrows, "He Yu Shui has been telling me about this at home recently, I'm used to it."

Before he sent Li Li Xuewu to the car, he hesitated, but still couldn't help asking softly: "Are you going to transfer her away?"

"Why, can't bear to?" Li Li Xuewu sat in the back seat, looked at Zhuzi standing by the car door, "Who said earlier that she should be sent to the border?"

"That was just angry talk, how could I not bear to." Zhuzi sighed, "Just this one sister, and in this situation."

"Don't let your imagination run wild, I'm reminding you." Li Li Xuewu looked at his pitiful expression of blinking eyes, pointed at him and reminded: "It's just a simple work transfer, not as complicated as you think."

"I don't consider that, and I can't consider it." Zhuzi was straightforward, "As long as she is with you, what do I have to worry about..."

"Get lost——" Li Li Xuewu didn't want to bother with him; this kind of stubborn person couldn't understand reason.

Closing the car door, he signaled Nie Nie Xiaoguang to drive.

After the car started, Nie Nie Xiaoguang glanced from the rearview mirror. Master He from the canteen was still standing behind the car looking at them.

He Yu Shui is with the leader... what does this mean?

If the leader is old, one could say it's taking care of a nephew, but according to what he learned, He Yu Shui is a few years older than the leader.

What's going on, Li Li Xuewu is a factory leader, so he doesn't look at age anymore?

This Master He really has no shame!

"Come, Xiao Guang, let's have dinner together." Li Li Xuewu called Nie Nie Xiaoguang when he got off the car, "Just park the car in the garage."

"It's not very convenient——" Nie Nie Xiaoguang looked at the courtyard hesitantly, "I can go back to the factory to eat."

"Stop talking nonsense, go park the car."

Li Li Xuewu left Li Shu and Li Ning on the ground and let them run into the courtyard. Qin Qin Jingru opened the gate.

"Auntie——" Li Shu stood on tiptoe, raised her hand to touch her little belly, "Hehe, grown up."

"Ah——" Seeing his sister touch it, Li Ning also stood on tiptoe hard to touch it, but couldn't reach, shouting anxiously.

"Han Jiankun set up the stove, just waiting for you to come back." Qin Qin Jingru pinched Li Ning's little face and said to Li Li Xuewu with a smile: "You go upstairs first, I'll call you when it's grilled."

Gu Ning remembered wanting to eat barbecue a few days ago, but was embarrassed to mention it to Li Li Xuewu. She borrowed the excuse of playing by Kunming Lake that year, saying barbecue was quite delicious.

Li Li Xuewu understood her meaning. The barbecue stove in the courtyard had long been borrowed, so he asked Han Han Jiankun to weld another one.

Everything was easy to prepare. After buying everything, Qin Qin Jingru skewered them at home, and it was just right to eat after getting off work in the evening.

Nie Nie Xiaoguang was staying here for a meal for the first time. Seeing Han Han Jiankun busy with the barbecue, he also took the initiative to go up and help.

When Li Li Xuewu finished his bath and changed his clothes and came down, Qin Qin Jingru had already prepared cold dishes and steamed buns, and Han Han Jiankun and the other had also brought the barbecue to the dining table.

The barbecue rack was set up under the windowsill of the front courtyard, and the evening breeze was just right for this flavor.

"Leader, you guys eat first." Qin Qin Jingru handed two plates to Han Han Jiankun and instructed: "Choose two skewers of each, put them on the plate, I'll send them next door in a while."

After explaining to Han Han Jiankun, she explained to Li Li Xuewu and Gu Ning: "Aunt Zhang gave Li Shu toys and stationery two days ago. This smoke is running away, it's not appropriate not to express it."

"Hmm, okay, you are thoughtful."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and nodded: "Whatever you think should be done at home, you can decide."

"That won't do, you are the leader, I have to ask for your instructions."

Qin Qin Jingru joked, served Li Shu and Li Ning small bowls of cucumber soup, and then went outside.

Han Han Jiankun didn't sit at the table either, and reported to Li Li Xuewu across the window: "Manager Wang talked to us today about starting a motorcycle escort team, heard it's being done together with the motorcycle patrol team."

"Hmm, heard about it." Li Li Xuewu nodded, eating skewers while saying: "The escort team is still a form, the patrol team is to replace the existing mounted police patrol team."

"I actually think the mounted police patrol team is quite good." Han Han Jiankun looked at Li Li Xuewu and said: "Especially in the ecological industrial park."

"This is a conflict between humanity and management." Li Li Xuewu understood his meaning, "No matter how good a horse is, it's not as convenient as a motorcycle."

"What's your opinion?" Han Han Jiankun looked at him: "If we are going to start a motorcycle escort team, it seems it's going to be affiliated with us, Deputy Director Su's opinion."
