Chapter 1315: I'm a Decent Person!

"Open a separate room?" Qin Qin Huairu looked at Li Li Xuewu, who reappeared at the front desk, her eyes a bit strange, "How long do you want to open it for?"

"Renew it every month until she moves out of here." Li Li Xuewu naturally placed the money on the bar, "Just keep the rest in my account."

Looking at the money on the counter enough to live for half a year, Qin Qin Huairu nodded and helped him register. The name was naturally Wang Wang Yajuan.

The service attendant on the night shift was Xiao Jin, nothing to worry about her talking nonsense, Li Li Xuewu's performance was generous enough.

He didn't avoid anyone when sending Wang Wang Yajuan here, and he wouldn't be afraid of any gossip even more now.

From going upstairs to going downstairs, he only used less than five minutes. Qin Qin Huairu knew his strength; five minutes couldn't do anything.

"You're leaving just like this?" Qin Qin Huairu had just finished the registration and saw Li Li Xuewu already walking outside, "She..."

"Do you want me to stay for a midnight snack?" Li Li Xuewu smiled, waved his hand and said: "Alright, just treat her as an ordinary guest."

"I thought you were going to stay overnight." Qin Qin Huairu teased him after coming out, and then asked seriously: "Nothing wrong, right? Why don't you use your room?"

"What could be wrong, I'm a decent person." Li Li Xuewu smiled and walked down the steps, not answering her question, but instead asked about her business, "How is the plan to open a shop in the city coming along? Any ideas?"

Why not use his room? It's very simple, because he doesn't want to find trouble for himself.

Qin Qin Huairu also knew this, but she was just probing the relationship between him and Wang Wang Yajuan.

That room was left for the group Secretary-General to use, not Li Li Xuewu's private property, so how could it be used randomly?

"Just pondering, I'll report to you next week." Qin Qin Huairu pulled his arm and said: "Give me a few names, names for the restaurant."

"A few? How many do you want to open?" Li Li Xuewu looked at her and said: "If you take too big a step, you'll easily tear your crotch."

"I actually want to tear it, is there any?"

In the middle of the night, Qin Qin Huairu also dared to make dirty jokes.

"I discussed it with Zhuzi and the others, open at least three, otherwise it's no fun."

"Alright, small workshop, but the materials are fierce," Li Li Xuewu commented with a smile: "You guys really have guts."

He looked at Qin Qin Huairu and asked: "Tell me, what kind of restaurants are you going to do? I'll rack my brains to see if there are any good names."

"Just whatever is convenient for us." Qin Qin Huairu signaled to the guesthouse behind her, "One place for seafood, one place for government cuisine, one place for Sichuan cuisine, all are our specialties here."

Li Li Xuewu really didn't expect this woman to be so bold after having fighting spirit. It really fits that saying: "People die for wealth, birds die for food."

Lu Xun once said, buy a house after marriage, the more you earn, the busier you get.

Sure enough, marriage and buying a house are the driving forces for hard work.

"Easy to say, to do seafood, you have to do a restaurant. How can you eat seafood without drinking? This is the profit point." He nodded in agreement, "We have fresh seafood ingredients and ready-made yellow wine."

He pointed to the guesthouse's plaque and signaled: "Just call it 【Fisherman's Pride】, don't forget to note the words 'Red Star Steel Group Guesthouse' below, be careful of someone taking you over."

"The seafood restaurant is called 【Fisherman's Pride】, the government cuisine restaurant is called 【Qin Garden Spring】, it sounds pleasant to the ear." Li Li Xuewu thought for a while and said with a satisfied smile: "The Sichuan cuisine restaurant is called 【Waves Washing the Sand】."

"Actually, calling it 【Full River Red】 is more appropriate, but it's not suitable." He shook his head slightly, denying this thought in his heart.

"I've never heard of them." Qin Qin Huairu smiled and said: "This matter still has to be asked of you, I can't ponder it out."

"If you really called it Guesthouse First Restaurant, Second Restaurant, wouldn't people laugh at you to death."

"Nothing to laugh about, everyone is calling it that now." Li Li Xuewu looked at her and reminded: "Be steady, don't rush."

"Understood, don't worry," Qin Qin Huairu promised seriously: "I won't risk my job."

Li Li Xuewu didn't say anything more after looking at her. After getting in the car, he said to Nie Nie Xiaoguang, who was rolling his eyes: "Go home."

The car started and drove out of the factory area again, bypassing the crowd off work, and drove out from the vehicle entrance, straight to the West City.

In the car, Nie Nie Xiaoguang glanced at the leader in the back seat and asked softly: "Secretary-General, are you okay?"

"What's wrong?" Li Li Xuewu, who was looking at the night view out the window, turned his head and reminded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense about tonight's matter."

"Understood, my mouth still has a gate." Nie Nie Xiaoguang smiled and promised: "Don't worry, I won't say a word randomly."

"Hmm, I believe you." Li Li Xuewu nodded and looked at his back and asked: "How are you getting along with Han Lu?"

"???" Nie Nie Xiaoguang was suddenly full of question marks. I didn't talk about your business, but you want to eat my melon instead?

"Just——just like that." He stammered for a while, turned his head and glanced at Li Li Xuewu, and asked: "Leader, do you think girls are all the same, liking flowers and greenery."

"Don't know, I haven't been in contact with many girls." Li Li Xuewu shook his head slightly, "You asked the wrong person."

"Sigh——" Nie Nie Xiaoguang, who was driving, let out a long sigh, "Brother Han was right, a woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea, I can't figure out what they are thinking."

"One mountain looks higher than another." He paused and added: "I'm not talking about Han Lu, her heart is higher than a mountain."

"You've been in contact with her?" Li Li Xuewu had long experienced the stubbornness of this kid.

"Just——just like that." He stammered for a while, turned his head and glanced at Li Li Xuewu, and asked: "Leader, do you think girls are all the same, liking flowers and greenery."

"Of course not, she has high standards, my conditions aren't bad either!"

Nie Nie Xiaoguang was completely like a little hooligan, very much like the "Silly Da Qiang" in the movie Li Li Xuewu once watched.

"I'm not a blockhead either, I didn't confess as soon as I came up, the probability of failure is too high, I have to contact slowly."

He introduced to Li Li Xuewu: "I have a unique skill. I go up and greet, then introduce myself. After introducing, no matter what she says, turn around and leave. Even if she kneels and begs you, don't look back."

"Hehe, and then?" Li Li Xuewu asked with a light laugh: "Did she beg you?"

"Of course she didn't beg me the first time we met, after all, we weren't familiar yet." Nie Nie Xiaoguang nodded, swaying his body and said: "But she definitely begged me the second time we met, begged me to stay away from her."

"Don't laugh, I can tell you have no love experience, you don't understand that girls say things backwards."

He waved his hand seriously, looked at the road ahead and told Li Li Xuewu about "Love Studies."

Li Li Xuewu was very moved. Finally, someone understood that he was a simple, kind, and emotionally dedicated good man.

"So late today?" Hearing the movement downstairs, Gu Ning got up and looked, seeing him enter from the gate, "Keep it down."

"Are the children asleep?" Li Li Xuewu said apologetically: "Something delayed me in the unit, who sent them back?"

"Xuecai and Ji Yuxiu sent them back." Gu Ning went downstairs and asked: "Did you eat dinner? Qin Jingru left you food."

"Ate, what time did the couple leave?"

Li Li Xuewu changed his slippers at the door, put away his bag and walked to the stairs, taking the pajamas Gu Ning handed over.

Gu Ning replied softly: "Past eight, they went back after helping me coax the children to sleep. I didn't let her stay, she needs to rest."

"Hmm, be more considerate." Li Li Xuewu nodded, raised the pajamas in his hand and signaled to the bathroom on the first floor, "I'll take a bath first."

"Okay." Gu Ning nodded, went to the living room and poured him a cup of warm water, afraid that he had social engagements and was thirsty from drinking.

The night in late June is not lonely, the sound of insects is a bit messy, and the croaking of frogs in the big lake can be heard clearly in the ears.

If people who are used to a quiet sleeping environment in later generations come to now, they might suffer from insomnia.

The croaking of frogs in the distance, the sound of mole crickets nearby, and the sound of insects whose names I don't know flapping their wings or chirping.

Beijing in this era has not completely weakened the sounds of nature, but it is rare to hear the roar of cars or the noise of crowds wandering on the street in the middle of the night.

Readers living in Nanluoguxiang should have a deep understanding. You can hear the chatter of tourists in the middle of the night, and there are even motorcycles bombing the streets.

Not in this era. If there were, they would have been shot long ago.

If you don't have a work permit or valid identification, wandering on the street in the middle of the night, I guarantee you won't last more than half an hour before you have to enter the police station and wait for your family to pick you up.

Li Li Xuewu took a bath, changed into pajamas and came out. Gu Ning was still waiting for him on the sofa; she had something to say.

The couple is quite harmonious on weekdays, understanding each other.

Gu Ning is busy studying, he never does anything to disturb, often taking care of the children, leaving the initiative of the second floor to her.

Li Li Xuewu is busy with work and can't take care of the family, Gu Ning won't quarrel with him, always communicating calmly.

Today's situation is not special. When there is something at home, the couple finds time when no one is around to talk.

"Did the couple Xuecai eat here?"

Li Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and took a sip of warm water, looked at Gu Ning sitting on the sofa and asked: "Is there anything?"

"I left food, they said they were waiting at home, so they went back after sending the children." Gu Ning tucked her hair behind her ear, looked at Li Li Xuewu and explained, then asked: "How did you arrange Qin Jingru's matter?"

"Hmm, I'm just thinking about this."

Li Li Xuewu nodded, crossed his legs and looked at the fireplace, pondering: "Saying we don't need her for now, I'm afraid she'll overthink it. If we keep using her, I know you're worried."

"A while ago, Mom asked me about it. I was thinking of waiting until her pregnancy is further along and it's inconvenient, then discuss it with her."

"Actually, now is the most dangerous stage." Gu Ning emphasized: "It's her first child, it's better to be cautious."

"Yes, the reason is that reason." Li Li Xuewu looked at her and said: "But I'm afraid she'll feel aggrieved in her heart."

"After all, she has been working in our house for two years, always diligent and conscientious."

Li Li Xuewu's heart is still soft, especially toward those around him.

"However, what you said also makes sense." He thought for a while and said: "Mom told me the children can be sent to the courtyard, sent in the morning and picked up in the evening, and we can eat in the unit canteen."

"I have no problem, after all, it's not far from home." Gu Ning thought for a while while holding the teacup, "You can leave earlier in the morning, eat at Mom's place, and come back after dinner in the evening."

"Then wouldn't I be abandoning you."

Li Li Xuewu shook his head slightly, "I'll ponder it again, I'll find time to talk to Han Jiankun about Qin Jingru's matter and let him persuade her."

"As for the nanny at home, I'll look around and see if there's anyone suitable, even if it's just to cook breakfast and dinner."

"No need to be forced, it's the same wherever you eat." Gu Ning lowered her head and thought, "Should I ask if there's anyone suitable at my mom's?"

"Don't bother Mom, it's thousands of miles away, and she still has to worry about us." Li Li Xuewu shook his head slightly, "To find someone to cook and take care of children is not very difficult, the difficulty is that the person must be steady."

Steady, actually means reliable.

Not to mention that the children at home need a reliable nanny, even for the upstairs and downstairs, without trust, Li Li Xuewu wouldn't dare to recruit people into the house randomly.

The couple sat on the sofa in a dilemma, unable to find a trustworthy person around them.

Actually, just think about it and you'll know. Li Li Xuewu is cautious, separates work and life, and basically has no intersection.

Gu Ning's social circle is even narrower, just a few people in the unit, not even in contact with relatives at home.

The only one he can count on is his mother-in-law, but he doesn't want to bother her, after all, it's too far away.

If he needs a nanny, as long as Li Li Xuewu speaks, the people sending nannies could break their threshold.

Do you know when the custom of sending nannies to leaders' homes started?

Once sent in, it's equivalent to sending oneself up.

Li Li Xuewu will absolutely not open this gap for others. Using Qin Qin Jingru was really handy, but he couldn't stop people from having children.

Now he really has to make a choice. If Qin Qin Jingru leaves, she won't be back for at least two or three years. He has to wait for her child to grow up a bit.

By then, Han Han Jiankun's work will be stable, his salary will be high, and she might not necessarily need to come out to work.

So it's Qin Qin Jingru who can't figure it out. Li Li Xuewu had long been mentally prepared for her leaving.

It's not that he didn't think about finding someone suitable from the courtyard or neighbors, but later he thought about it and gave up.

First, there's no suitable one, and second, he doesn't want to get too deeply involved with the courtyard.

It didn't matter before, but now that his position is higher, the favors he has to do for others have also increased.

They are all neighbors, how can he refuse them to their faces? After all, his parents and brothers all live in the courtyard.

Now he picks up Li Shu and her brother, sends them and leaves, picks them up and returns, rarely lingering, not giving others a chance to speak.

It is precisely this performance of his that also expresses his rejection of human relationships, so fewer people look for him.

"I'll think about it again, if it really doesn't work, I'll find two." Li Li Xuewu let out a long breath, "Li Shu needs a piano teacher, the family needs a live-in nanny, just make a pair."

Gu Ning looked at him and didn't say anything. He is always the master of family affairs, never making her feel embarrassed.

He seems to be someone who can do anything, and any problem has a solution with him, which is the ability she admires and trusts the most.

"It's late, let's sleep." Li Li Xuewu put down the teacup and stood up, reaching out to pull her, "If we have another younger brother or sister for Li Shu and Li Ning, I think this problem will be solved."

Gu Ning, who just wanted to raise her hand to hold Li Li Xuewu's big hand, glared at him angrily, and took the opportunity to slap his hand, but was caught by Li Li Xuewu.

"Umm——" Gu Ning was held in his arms and reminded softly: "The children are still upstairs."

"It's okay, they won't wake up for a while."

Li Li Xuewu smelled the scent on Gu Ning and said gently: "It's rare to enjoy the world of two, let's do something interesting."

Gu Ning didn't believe that he could think of anything interesting in the middle of the night. She didn't have the strength to push him away, so she fell into his arms.

In the living room?

This bad guy! No face to see people.

At the end of June, under Li Li Xuewu's guidance, Propaganda Division Chief Bu Bu Qingfang presided over and coordinated the Red Star Art Publishing House to upgrade the Art Propaganda Team.

The upgraded Art Work Troupe is a deputy-section-level unit, still affiliated with the Red Star Art Publishing House, and managed by the Propaganda Division.

The full name is Red Star Steel Group Art Publishing House East Is Red Art Work Troupe, abbreviated as East Is Red Art Troupe.

Former Propaganda Second Li Kezhang Jiang Peiqun serves as the Art Troupe Leader.

Former Art Propaganda Team Leader, Propaganda First Section Deputy Chief Zhang Li serves as the Art Troupe Deputy Leader, presiding over administrative work.

Former Art Propaganda Team Instructor, Propaganda Third Section Deputy Chief Wang Wang Yajuan serves as the Art Troupe Deputy Leader, presiding over art work.

Former Red Star International Hotel Deputy General Manager He He Yu Shui serves as the Art Troupe Political Commissar.

The news of the establishment of the Art Troupe didn't cause much discussion in the organ, but the personnel changes of the main leaders attracted attention.

Especially the transfer of He He Yu Shui, Deputy General Manager of Red Star International Hotel, across departments and positions, made people unable to guess what this was about.

Actually, He He Yu Shui was also confused. Li Li Xuewu sent her so many big books, she thought she would come into contact with ideological work.

But she never thought she would be transferred to the Art Troupe, and still engaged in ideological guidance and education work, which completely confused her.

She had no reason to refuse Li Li Xuewu's arrangement. During the organizational talk, she could only say some subjective enthusiasm.

There was no reaction on the Art Troupe side. What changed was the management level, and the space for cadres was further opened up.

The work in the troupe should be done as it should be.

Wang Wang Yajuan was a bit lost. She didn't expect Li Li Xuewu to be so straightforward. After she refused the work of the Art Work Team, even her position as instructor was changed to Deputy Leader.

Of course, in the eyes of others, Wang Wang Yajuan also progressed, from deputy section to section level, what else is there to be pretentious about.

She also knew she shouldn't be pretentious.

The Art Propaganda Work Team He He Yu Shui is responsible for is under the Comprehensive Management Department, directly responsible to the Secretary-General and reporting work.

She could see the purpose of this arrangement.

It's not that Li Li Xuewu doesn't trust her, nor that he doesn't use her, it's that she gave up this opportunity herself.

If Li Li Xuewu had abandoned her, there wouldn't be the arrangement of Deputy Leader and presiding over art work.

From the Security Group to the Committee Office, and then to the position of Secretary-General, many people felt the change in Li Li Xuewu's work attitude.

There was no more cover-up in personnel arrangements, and it became straightforward.

Who to use, how to arrange, coordinate and handle generously, unlike before when he had to worry about the harmonious relationship between departments.

Now he is a factory leader, on the contrary, various departments have to look at his instructions to work.

Li Li Xuewu attended the establishment ceremony of the Art Publishing House East Is Red Art Troupe and gave an instruction speech.

In his speech, he pointed out that they should cultivate individual singers and writers with excellent lyric and composition abilities.

They should actively dig into the highlights of the group's internal employees' life and work, and write works with representativeness and positive energy.

Especially the art light cavalry mainly based on simple performance forms such as crosstalk, big drum, and bamboo clapper, which should not only hone their skills on the theater stage but also go deep into the grassroots to serve the masses.

He talked to the main responsible comrades of the Art Troupe about the development of the band and orchestra, requiring the Art Troupe to attach importance to learning, actively communicate, explore and exchange, and master the world's advanced vocal performance skills.

Li Li Xuewu pointed out at the end of his speech that art performances aimed at propaganda cannot lose the interest of the program itself, and cannot make the audience feel bored.

The East Is Red Art Troupe should be based on political needs, actively explore a variety of art performance forms, and actively develop...

After the meeting, the several responsible comrades of the Art Troupe sent the leaders out. On the steps, everyone had a simple exchange.

Ding Yan Zigui stood beside Li Li Xuewu, listening to his dialogue with several responsible comrades, a smile always hanging on his face.

That fall of his was ruthless. If Li Li Xuewu hadn't helped him, he would have retired to the second line long ago.

So he had no second words about supporting Li Li Xuewu's work.

"Comrade Zhang Li is an old person in the Security Division." Li Li Xuewu smiled and shook hands with Zhang Li, "When I first arrived at the Security Division, she was the person in charge of the militia office."

"Learning from you makes me progress." Zhang Li was good at talking, holding Li Li Xuewu's hand and saying a double-entendre sentence.

Li Li Xuewu laughed and let go of her hand, saying: "I am not worried about your awareness and management ability, but you must pay attention to methods in your work, don't just be greedy for greatness and completeness."

After finishing with Zhang Li, Li Li Xuewu shook hands with Wang Wang Yajuan again, and said with a smile: "From dance troupe leader, to art propaganda team deputy leader, then to the position of instructor, and now deputy leader."

He nodded slowly and encouraged: "After tempering in so many positions, I believe you can make achievements and lead the team well."

Wang Wang Yajuan didn't say much, and gave Li Li Xuewu a salute.

After Li Li Xuewu accepted their salute, he also returned the salute.

Finally, he talked to Art Troupe Leader Jiang Peiqun and Publishing House General Manager Ding Yan Zigui for a few words before getting in the car and leaving.

The work of the Art Troupe is very important, otherwise, one leader and two deputies, three section chiefs and deputy section chiefs of the Propaganda Division wouldn't have been arranged to take charge of management.

Li Li Xuewu had already talked to Jiang Peiqun during the organizational talk. If he brings the Art Troupe up, the organization will reuse him.

The position of Art Troupe Leader and Deputy General Manager of the Art Publishing House is the carrot Li Li Xuewu hung in front of him, which he has to work hard to eat.

The way of governing subordinates is actually simple, nothing more than drawing a line, setting a number, leading in front, and driving behind.

Otherwise, why do those who work say they are cattle and horses?

On the last day of June, Li Li Xuewu attended the signing ceremony of the Energy General Company's shareholding agreement in the morning and investigated the food factory in the afternoon.

The shareholding agreement is an investment negotiation conducted with several capitals such as the East City Credit Union, Industrial and Commercial Bank, Construction Bank, and Red Star Joint Savings Bank according to the framework agreement negotiated earlier.

Investment in technology, management, equipment, and mining industry was basically in place, only capital investment was missing, and it was fully in place today.

The project, led by Red Star Steel Group, uniting several technology and mining enterprises, and combining bank capital to integrate resources and high-quality development of the mining industry, officially landed.

Lu Qiming, Deputy Director in charge of industrial construction and development in Liaodong; Zhang Jianshe, Deputy Director in charge of business work of the First Ministry of Machine Building; Zheng Zheng Shusen, Deputy Director of the Beijing Municipal Management Committee, and other leaders attended the signing ceremony.

Foreign enterprise leaders in Beijing, such as the President of Santa Ya Group, Vice President of Sanhe Co., Ltd., General Manager of Geely Star Shipping, etc., also attended to congratulate.

Leaders and responsible persons from the capital system, mining system, etc., also attended to express congratulations.

Li Li Xuewu, this Secretary-General, performed very brightly in the reception work. Besides being young, his drinking capacity was also astonishing.

From the welcome speech to the activity site, then to the celebration banquet, and finally to the send-off, the beautiful words were said flawlessly.

It was impossible to have binge drinking on such an occasion, but as the reception party, Li Li Xuewu accompanied the factory leaders around a big circle. Li Huai De and the others' faces were inevitably flushed, only he was fine.

Those who had drunk with him before, or had heard of him, were all smiling when they met, not daring to have any excessive toasting behavior.

Those who hadn't experienced his ability could also see from the attitude everyone showed that this young group leader was not to be trifled with.

After so many years, Li Li Xuewu had long ceased to be a nameless person who had just started out. His reputation in the circle could be described as thunderous.

This is really famous abroad, with both good and bad. The past is the past, and now is now.

Can communicate with all foreigners present in skilled foreign languages, can greet all leaders present with rich experience and knowledge, you say he is not awesome now.

As for the business and work of Red Star Factory, as long as you want to know, consulting him will definitely be no problem.

As Secretary-General, he has to coordinate and handle many business tasks, and he pays attention to almost all projects.

Asking for specific parameters is embarrassing, but talking about projects, he can definitely greet everyone well.

From the attitude of Li Huai De and a group of Red Star Steel Group leaders toward him at the scene, it is not difficult to see that this is the absolute real power figure of Red Star Factory.

"Li, do you have time to go up and sit?"

Catherine, General Manager of Geely Star Shipping, also came to Beijing from Yingcheng. It seems that she had completely taken over the team her father left her.

The two had a brief exchange at the banquet just now, and Li Li Xuewu was busy entertaining others.

At this moment, the banquet had ended, and Li Li Xuewu was busy sending some important guests away. In the lobby of the International Hotel, her face was a bit flushed, greeting him to go up and sit.

Do what? I'm a decent person!

Li Li Xuewu looked at the sky outside the lobby window, broad daylight, bright sky, want that kind of thing in the daytime?

Too bullying, what does this Catherine take him for.

"No time now, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Tonight I want to eat more——" Catherine blinked at him with a smile, wiggling her little butt and went upstairs.

"Not big, but the appetite is not small."

Li Li Xuewu's mouth curled up slightly, watching her go upstairs and leave, then turned around and continued to be busy.

Catherine invited him, not entirely for sexual interest. Xu Sinian of Yingcheng Shipping called him, saying that Geely Star Shipping had new ideas and wanted to talk about new projects.

Li Li Xuewu knows these prodigal children of capitalists too well. If they don't waste money, can they learn real skills?

Their growth process is waste, wasting the resources they can easily get, wasting youth and energy, and then turning back to the prodigal son, continuing to operate the family business.

Don't say, after wasting a circle, most successors can show a certain business mind and decision-making ability.

Often it is these prodigal children who support the continuation and prosperity of the family, regardless of gender.

Foreign countries don't care about passing to men and not to women, even the throne can be passed to a daughter, let alone an enterprise.

Catherine is not Andrew's only child, so the resources she can waste are limited.

Being able to arrange for her to take office in the mainland, besides being optimistic about this girl, it's hard to say there isn't Andrew's deliberate intention.

With many children, they take family marriage lightly.

Don't say they are ruthless, in fact, this truth is the same everywhere. Rich families also have bumps and bruises, closeness and distance.

Wanting to perform, wanting to fight for her father Andrew's attention, Catherine knows how to sacrifice and pay.

On one hand, she must have achievements in Geely Star Shipping and master the development of this enterprise; on the other hand, she must use the resources left by her father to socialize and continue.

An Italian girl, traveling thousands of miles to the mainland, having to overcome the difficult situation of language barriers and different living habits, and still having to support the heavy responsibility of the enterprise, and you still let her quickly continue interpersonal relationships?

Catherine must admit that her ability is limited, and relying solely on social ability cannot achieve this point.

Because her father didn't leave her too many political resources, let alone a reliable object to rely on.

Just told her that cooperation with Red Star Steel Group is an important channel for Geely Star Shipping to gain a foothold in the mainland.

And the person in charge of Red Star Steel Group, Li Li Xuewu, is an important link and person in charge of Geely Star Shipping's cooperation.

There is also a convenience: this person in charge can speak French.

It's not strange for an Italian to speak French. Facing her father's obvious hint, what else did Catherine have to hesitate about.

Be bolder, just do it——

Her father is not a bad guy either, and he also hopes that his daughter can make friends with Li Li Xuewu by virtue of her personal charm.

Catherine didn't want to waste time and energy on reliable color paint. Clearly, she was already very tired, and clearly, some things could be talked about in bed, why did she have to go to socialize hypocritically.

Of course, she is not worthless, and she is not willing to do it with anyone.

From the first sight of Li Li Xuewu, she was not so resistant and resentful of her father's hint.

This is a not-bad Eastern man, although a bit fierce, but the wisdom in his eyes can convince people.

This is a man like Sparta.

After the first intimate contact, the depression in her heart dissipated, and she no longer thought about why her father left her brother in Hong Kong and arranged for her to come to the mainland.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Wanting to bloom on this land, she must bravely absorb nutrients and find a big tree to shade from the wind and rain.

So, is Li Li Xuewu a big tree?

"How to make mineral water, I don't know, but I know the enterprise in Laoshan does very well."

Li Li Xuewu said to the person in charge when investigating the food factory, "Don't close the door and build a car, and don't be conservative, go out."

He waved his hand and said: "Our factory does technical confidentiality, does process confidentiality, other factories don't have it yet."

Listen, how bastardly these words are.

Since the establishment of the Red Star Steel Group's project confidentiality system, all technical personnel have participated in the study of confidentiality regulations.

Some advanced technologies have even been isolated and prevented.

But in this era, many processing techniques and production technologies are interconnected. Although not so frequent, exchanges really exist.

Li Li Xuewu requires the group's technical confidentiality, but encourages technical personnel to go to other enterprises to learn technology. You say he is bad or not.

The person in charge was also full of surprise, staring at him blankly and not daring to speak.

Isn't he a Secretary-General now, why is he still like a bandit.

Especially when he was speaking, the scar on his face trembled slightly, and the bandit spirit he showed was even heavier.

"I don't know where there are mineral water resources in Beijing, please invite professors and experts from the Geological Institute to participate in the investigation."

Li Li Xuewu gave instructions and requirements at the project work meeting, "Don't sit in the office and wait, excellent resources cannot be waited for by sitting, you sitting here can only wait for me to scold you."

"Not only local water resources in Beijing, you can set your sights on the border, Liaodong, and Jicheng."

He

Li Li Xuewu demands technical secrecy for the group, yet encourages technical personnel to go to other enterprises to learn technology—would you say he's bad or not?

The person in charge was also full of surprise, staring blankly at him, not daring to speak.

Isn't he already a Secretary-General? Why does he still look like a bandit?

Especially when he speaks, the scar on his face twitches slightly, making the bandit aura he exudes even heavier.

"I don't know where the local mineral water resources in the capital are; please have professors and experts from the Geological Institute participate in the survey."

Li Li Xuewu gave instructions and requirements at the project work meeting, "Don't sit in the office and wait; excellent resources won't come to you while you sit. If you sit here, you can only wait for me to scold you."

"It's not just the capital's local water resources; you can cast your gaze toward the frontier, Liaodong, and Jincheng."

He tapped the table and arranged earnestly, "The food processing plant is placed in the capital, but the water processing plant doesn't necessarily have to be in the capital."

"According to the situation I understand, making water is simpler than making canned goods."

"Hehehe—" A burst of light laughter rang out in the meeting hall.

This was indeed a joke; who would dare say that making canned goods is harder than making water?

But after the laughter, Li Li Xuewu's words reached their ears, "The profit from canned goods absolutely cannot compare to water; do you believe it or not?"

Li Li Xuewu pressed his palm on the table and said to the group of people in charge of the food industry, "You might say I've set the price for mineral water too high and it won't sell at all, so what's the use of high profit."

"Wrong. You are in the food industry, an industry that challenges the consumer's taste buds," he emphasized earnestly. "You must have brand awareness; you must make consumers trust your brand, rather than those strange little snacks in the packaging that can't be seen."

"How to refine the market is something I won't detail here; it's on the planning document I gave you."

Li Li Xuewu called out a few names at the meeting and asked the persons in charge if they had carefully and seriously studied the planning document.

Fortunately, this was a project he had done, and no one dared to neglect it.

At the meeting, several persons in charge, encouraged by him, asked about the questions and key points in the planning document they did not understand.

Li Li Xuewu answered and introduced them with great patience, especially regarding the conversion of price attention into brand style.

Making high-end water does not mean the Red Star Factory should raise its own standards and ignore consumer needs.

Besides wanting to make mineral water and segment the market, Li Li Xuewu also inspected and tasted several beverages submitted by the laboratory at the meeting.

Some tasted good, and some tasted average.

"This tea drink won't do; what kind of taste is this?" Li Li Xuewu pushed away a glass-bottled tea beverage. "I don't require you to make tea drinks as fragrant as hot-brewed tea, but at the very least, the flavor must be balanced."

"And this packaging, it's too ugly."

He frowned slightly and said, "Who designed this kind of bottle? It couldn't be that it was purchased directly from an IV drip factory, could it? It's too low-class."

"Telling you to redesign it seems like I'm deliberately making things difficult for you." Li Li Xuewu tapped the table and said, "The product a customer buys is absolutely not just simple utility; it must also have emotional value."

"If everyone valued utility, then why drink beverages? Wouldn't cold boiled water be more practical? Right?"

Li Li Xuewu placed the drinks he had tasted and felt were acceptable in one spot and directed the relevant persons in charge to conduct secondary research.

As for some beverages that even he couldn't get used to drinking, he pushed them directly to the middle of the table, letting the persons in charge taste for themselves whether they were good or not.

Just sprinkling in sweetness and fruit juice won't work; if the product is made worse than the earlier soda factory's, then there is really no need to make it.

Returning from the food factory, Li Li Xuewu reported and communicated successively to Cheng Kaiyuan and Li Huai De.

He firmly believed that beverages were absolutely a good project; now that the market is so singular that there is only orange soda, how could it not be a good project?

But work from the bottom up is different from work from the top down; his ideas and will cannot be completely transformed into products.

This is perhaps the helplessness of being a leader; he can only coordinate and guide bit by bit, he can't just scold the people below as idiots.

Scolding people is impossible; Li Li Xuewu wants to maintain his image as a humble gentleman. Scolding people and losing his temper won't solve any problems, but instead will cause dissatisfaction and hostility from below.

Speaking of a humble gentleman, Li Li Xuewu did receive this evaluation when he invited Catherine to dinner.

Catherine looked at him with obsessed eyes, praising his excellence, making Li Li Xuewu almost believe it himself.

If he really believed her set of rhetoric, then what would the naughtiness and the "world-mixing demon" behavior of the previous ten-plus years count for?

No matter how much of a humble gentleman he is, without hard strength, he couldn't move a girl's heart.

After dinner, invited by Catherine, Li Li Xuewu went upstairs to "do some things."

As everyone can see, twice.

Catherine was not as impatient as she appeared, and she was resistant to falling and hitting; after two rounds, she raised her hands and surrendered.

Li Li Xuewu was not someone who hadn't eaten Western food; he understood the principle of knowing when to stop very well.

Today was for discussing matters; he couldn't be greedy for the "cup."

Don't ask what cup, B+

PS: Phew~ finally caught up with the progress.
