Chapter 1317: Be serious

~35 min read 6,850 words

Some people say that the self-discipline of public security in this era is good. Why does the Red Star United Savings Bank look like it's facing a great enemy?

Using bulletproof glass for service windows and building a comprehensive security system for the bank—is this defense a bit too advanced?

Three days after Li Huai De led the team to finish the research, the four major departments jointly issued an announcement, proposing six measures.

Li Xuewu's eyelids twitched as he looked at the notice in his hand.

It wasn't that he was worrying about nothing, nor was he timid, but the fact that the Red Star Steel Group's situation was excellent didn't mean that the current general situation was also excellent.

Things that people wouldn't even dare to think about on weekdays actually required a joint announcement from the four major departments to demand.

You tell me, is the current public security environment good or not?

Good. The general public security environment indeed has its good side; the folk customs are simple and honest, and they advocate spiritual civilization needs.

But extremely bad public security situations also generally exist, specifically manifested in the aftermath of the "Great Learning" activities.

Especially after cultural debates were no longer enough to express personal political demands and inner emotions, some people chose to take action.

In later generations, everyone might have heard a saying: "Force cannot solve any problems." But now problems have appeared, and some people want to act recklessly.

It even made the higher-ups so headache-stricken that they issued repeated announcements to stop and restrain it. It can be seen to what extent some situations have become extreme.

The situation was reported by the Security Office and transferred to Li Huai De by Su Weide. Old Li expressed a headache and shelved the document again.

The rules of the leader's office: once a document is shelved, it represents the leader's attitude is unclear and needs research and thinking.

Another situation is that it is inconvenient for the leader to express his position, but considering the severity of the problem, he will hand the work to someone he trusts.

Li Xuewu really had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to be trusted by Old Li even after pitting him so many times.

What to do?

The problem was submitted by the Security Office, and the first person to attach an application and ask for opinions was Zhou Yao.

As a mid-level cadre, Zhou Yao already possessed the right to speak in the discussion of administrative measures.

However, she was relatively cautious and did not put it in writing in the form of a suggestion, but changed it to a request for instructions.

Li Xuewu looked at the opinions of Wang Xiaoqin and Su Weide, his eyes narrowed slightly as he fell into thought.

Wang Xiaoqin did things decisively and thought comprehensively. Her opinions were mainly to strengthen ideological construction, increase publicity, establish safety awareness, and consolidate the internal security situation of the group.

Looking at Su Weide's opinions, after circling the points raised by Wang Xiaoqin, he proposed strengthening situation analysis, enhancing crisis awareness, emphasizing subjective initiative, and promoting joint security construction work.

On the surface, there was not much difference between the two people's opinions; they were all customary opinions and requirements.

But if you think about it in combination with their identities and work attributes, and then combine it with the current organizational ecological environment in the factory and the social environment outside the factory, these two opinions were almost diametrically opposed.

Wang Xiaoqin had just taken over the security work and didn't want to take such big steps. Her first fire hadn't finished burning yet.

Under the condition that the internal safety environment of the factory was stable, she didn't want to cause a greater impact, so she appeared relatively conservative.

Mainly focusing on education and publicity, she continued to promote the construction of the security structure according to her work rhythm.

Su Weide wanted to occupy a more favorable position and posture at the key nodes of institutional changes in the organization and adjustments of various departments, so the attitude and actions he showed were somewhat radical.

So there were opinions such as "analyze the situation," "crisis awareness," "subjective action," and "joint security."

If a specific work plan was really formulated according to his opinions, wouldn't it confirm a premise:

The security work of the Red Star Steel Group had just completed the handover, and there was a "crisis" in the management process of Li Xuewu before this.

Similarly, if executed this way, wouldn't you, Wang Xiaoqin, also agree with this view and completely negate Li Xuewu's work achievements?

Lacking situation cognition and crisis awareness, work is not active, sticking to old ways, ignoring the safety work opinions from above.

Su Weide's move harbored evil intentions, and his intent was obvious. While digging a hole for Li Xuewu, he also provoked the relationship between Wang Xiaoqin and him.

When the document was transferred to Li Huai De, once Old Li put down his pen, wouldn't he also agree with this view?

Negating Li Xuewu's previous work, supporting Wang Xiaoqin to start another stove, and rebuilding the security work framework of the group company.

If things really reached this point, how should Li Xuewu face the betrayal of the successor he personally selected and the distrust of the number one leader?

How would others in the organization look at it?

So when Li Huai De saw the opinions and requests on this document, he frowned and shelved the document.

In his instructions to Li Haiyang, he only said lightly to hand the work to the Secretary-General to take a look.

Look at what?

Look at Su Weide, that old guy, who deserved a beating!

Some time ago, the guy was a bit dishonest. Old Li called Li Xuewu and others to play mahjong together. The next day, in the adjustment of the personnel structure of the security group, the discipline inspection cadre Zhou Zechuan he brought was coordinated by Li Xuewu to be arranged under Gu Weijie's hand by the Organization Department.

Zhou Zechuan had long since experienced Li Xuewu's methods and tricks, and faced with such an adjustment, he didn't have the slightest opinion or emotion.

So how does Su Weide see this? Angry glare.

He had no roots in the group organization. Zhou Zechuan worked under his hand, and he was confident that he could hold onto him.

But can a bird that hasn't been tamed be taken back once it's lent to someone else—

He is not Li Xuewu, whose "students and old acquaintances" are all over every department, branch factory, and branch company of the group, in every corner.

Zhou Zechuan didn't express his position, which was actually a dangerous expression. Su Weide couldn't be active, and he couldn't be inactive either.

Li Huai De made the decision, and the discipline inspection work was handed over to Gu Weijie. With such an important work adjustment, could Su Weide not stare?

Staring didn't help; Big Li and Little Li were aiming at him. This is called breaking one of his arms.

If he wasn't active and continued to play the turtle, the prestige he had just established in the past few months would be swept away.

But if he was active, what would Zhou Zechuan think?

Wouldn't it represent that Su Weide didn't trust him? Even if he didn't say it, he would have a knot in his heart.

No wonder Su Weide calculated against Li Xuewu and Li Huai De whenever he had the chance.

In his eyes, Big Li and Little Li were major enemies!

One was devious to the core, and that was enough, but damn it, neither was a good thing.

The competition in the organizational form within the group was mainly based on influence, and they wouldn't easily take action directly.

In other words, whether it was Old Li leading Little Li to calculate against Old Su, or Old Su making a counterattack, they could only use weakening the other party's influence as the main means.

If they really wanted to be like Li Xuewu two years ago, grabbing the vice factory manager by the collar and pulling him out of the car, the group would really be in chaos.

What is the standard for the normalization of organizational form?

There is a saying in the organization: haven't you seen that the tigers have started to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha? What they are chanting is "Amitabha."

On July 5th, following the Red Star Steel Group's accelerated promotion of the landing of the cooperation project with the Santa Ya Group, the Santa Ya Group also promoted the project progress under the cooperation framework agreement.

First, the Jaguar helicopter and Alouette III helicopter projects were officially launched, and both sides were promoting related work.

Secondly, the Falcon 20 business jet that the Santa Ya Group promised to donate to the Red Star Steel Group was officially delivered on this day.

Li Huai De specially invited Santa Ya Group President Chantal and others to participate in the delivery ceremony of the business jet.

Li Xuewu had already made arrangements for the relevant operational preparations, and the plane was parked at Nanyuan Airport.

Some people might not know this airport in Beijing, or have heard the name from historical movies.

In later generations, this airport still exists, but it no longer provides services to ordinary passengers and has officially become a military airport.

Now? Now it's actually impossible to completely distinguish between civil airports and military airports, because how many real civilians can afford to take a plane?

And for those who are not civilians, what is the significance of discussing the nature of the airport when taking a plane?

The cooperation agreement Li Xuewu negotiated with Nanyuan Airport on behalf of the Red Star Steel Group was that the flight of the plane would be the responsibility of the group's flight service team.

As for the specific business, the Red Star Steel Group wouldn't care, but the cost of every flight must be settled according to normal procedures.

Of course, the costs of the plane using the airport and maintenance would also be paid from the profits. Whether it could achieve a balance of payments was hard to say, because there was no such business model in the country.

To be honest, there was no enterprise in the country that owned its own business passenger plane, and it was so advanced and luxurious.

"The founder of Dassault Aviation, Marcel Dassault, once said that the beauty of an airplane lies in its smooth and comfortable flight."

Chantal hugged her arms, looked at the graceful passenger plane on the tarmac, and introduced with a smile, "I especially believe in this sentence of his."

"So my private plane is also this model." She looked at Li Huai De and reminded him, "From this point, you should be able to see my sincerity."

"Hehe, I have never doubted the friendship between the Santa Ya Group and the Red Star Steel Group." After listening to the translation, Li Huai De smiled lightly and said to Chantal, "The Secretary-General can testify for me on this point."

"Hahahaha—" Li Xuewu laughed loudly and explained to Chantal, "Director Li is reminding you not to forget my credit and achievements in promoting the cooperation between our two units."

"Chinese language and culture are truly broad and profound." Chantal shook her head slightly and sighed with a smile, "Director Li can be called calculating."

Li Xuewu nodded seriously, looked in Li Huai De's direction, and joked, "Hey, you really hit the nail on the head with this."

"Hehe—" Li Huai De smiled lightly and didn't care about this joke. What do foreign devils know about Chinese language and culture?

If it weren't for the fact that the business jet in front of him really won his heart, he would have satirized the other party a few times.

But even if he satirized, it wouldn't make sense. Isn't this equivalent to talking to a cow about a horse, playing the lute to a cow?

But then again, Chantal is not very proficient in Chinese language and culture, but she is indeed a strong woman in the business field.

She has a different understanding of this sentence from the president of Dassault Aviation, and she can even say different good things about her own private plane.

According to Chantal, she actually knew the founder of Dassault Aviation long ago, but she didn't expect Dassault Aviation to develop so well.

Early on, Dassault became famous for designing the elegantly shaped Mirage fighter jet. She didn't expect him to have a genius in the commercial field.

In May 1963, when Dassault Aviation's first business jet—Mystère 20—made its first flight, Marcel Dassault gave a vivid interpretation of this famous saying.

"This plane is especially popular in the American market." Chantal introduced, "It was also after opening the American market that the Mystère 20 was renamed the Falcon 20."

She raised her hand to signal the business jet not far away and said, "I personally think this model is one of the best in the European business jet field."

"I'm not saying this to increase your importance and trust in this plane; what I'm saying is serious."

Chantal accompanied Li Huai De toward the business jet, explaining with her mouth, "Dassault is a French company, and its core philosophy is to manufacture planes that combine beauty and cutting-edge technology."

"You might think I'm bragging, or labeling the French people's pride and confidence in art, but I'm sure this is true."

She looked at Li Huai De and introduced, "Dassault Aviation emphasized that their manufacturing philosophy has always been consistent. Every Dassault plane is committed to providing excellent maneuverability, smooth lines, and a sturdy and durable structure, while ensuring the most cutting-edge comfort experience."

"This is also the main reason why I chose the Falcon 20 as my private business plane. I believe in their confidence and pursuit of beauty and technology."

"I have seen the beauty." Li Huai De stood in front of the business jet, carefully examined his big treasure, and nodded, "As for the technology, even if you said it, I wouldn't understand."

"Director Li, I must emphasize seriously that regarding aircraft technology, our Santa Ya Group is already powerless."

Chantal was really afraid that Li Huai De would say he wanted the manufacturing technology for this plane, so she hurriedly gave a preventive shot.

Li Huai De was also amused by her tone, turned his head to look at Li Xuewu, his gaze hard to hide his disappointment.

How good would it be if he could get the manufacturing technology for this plane?

He was also blind in his heart. Can a passenger plane and a helicopter be the same thing? Li Xuewu was too lazy to talk to him.

In several rounds of negotiations, why did he only emphasize wanting helicopters and not mention passenger planes at all?

The reason is very simple: he is not brain-damaged, and the other party is not either.

This is a technical field that cannot be negotiated. Even if he brought it up, he would only be attacked by the other party for not having sincerity in negotiations.

Helicopters are different. For one thing, there is no such high barrier in technical manifestation, and for another, the Red Star Factory already has a foundation for R&D and production, so if the French want the market, they have to trade technology for it.

Li Xuewu, together with the cadres of the Red Star Factory, looked up at this business jet worth 200,000 US dollars.

200,000 US dollars, equivalent to 700,000 yuan domestically, was piled up into this plane that could be called a work of art.

Is it beautiful? It's truly beautiful.

Even if Li Xuewu had the intention and ability to promote domestic technological development, he wouldn't dare to think that he could master this advanced R&D and production capability within 20 years.

Never mind 20 years; even within 50 years, if they could master these, the Red Star Steel Group would be considered the top-tier existence among domestic enterprises.

Look at when the C909, 919, and 929 were designed and produced; they still had a certain relationship with Airbus.

Dassault Aviation said their products are committed to providing excellent maneuverability, smooth lines, and a sturdy and durable structure, while ensuring the most cutting-edge comfort experience—this sentence is not an exaggeration.

At least in Li Xuewu's view, this plane is enough to be called a representative of the combination of art and technology.

Walking into the cabin with Li Huai De, looking at the leather sofas, solid wood fittings, luxurious decoration, and equipment and facilities that include passenger, office, and rest functions.

Li Xuewu didn't know what Old Li was thinking, but anyway, he thought this plane would really bring face to the Red Star Steel Group.

What were they looking at on the tarmac just now?

It was the livery on the fuselage: the six large characters "Red Star Steel Group," truly like a signboard, giving Old Li a lot of face.

You say those big shots prefer to take the Trident, which is a huge gap between an eagle and a sparrow compared to the Falcon 20, but in Old Li's view, the moment the group's name was painted on the plane, the goal was achieved.

Whoever rents this plane, don't they have to nag and envy his achievements and efforts? It was he, he Li Huai De, who developed the Red Star Factory into the Red Star Steel Group!

It was him, it was him Li Huai De!

The plane is truly a good plane, it's just that it must fly in the sky, which is a bit too dangerous.

Old Li's feeling in his heart, of course, wouldn't be said in front of everyone, but he had long made a decision.

He would never take this plane in his life, absolutely not.

Flying so high, what if it falls down? A living person would be smashed into a meat pie, which would be too painful.

"Isn't Deputy Director Su going to Guangzhou for training and study next week?" Li Huai De sat on the sofa of the plane and said as if casually, "Just arrange for him to take the first ride."

"Good, I'll contact Deputy Director Su." Li Xuewu raised an eyebrow, and his mouth had already agreed to Old Li's arrangement.

It really turned from resentment to hatred. Old Li is hating Old Su for not dying.

He is afraid that this plane will fall from the sky, so is Old Su not afraid?

Even if this plane didn't fall from the sky, Su Weide, who took a business jet to participate in training and study, would also hate himself for not falling.

It's too high-profile. You, Li Huai De, might as well have let me ride a donkey; being laughed at is always better than being envied.

As soon as Li Xuewu heard this, he understood what Old Li was going to do. Besides letting Su Weide "make a fool of himself," he also wanted to use this matter to advertise the operation of this plane.

What is the most attractive thing?

A dog biting a person is nothing strange; a person biting a dog is strange.

Su Weide making a fool of himself will definitely cause discussion within a certain range. By then, won't the focus be there?

What if Su Weide falls down?

That would be truly gratifying. We have lost an excellent comrade and an intimate comrade-in-arms. Does your Santa Ya Group have anything to say?

Sending us another plane wouldn't work. The key is who dares to sit in it and who dares to fly it.

Insidious, Old Li is still insidious; devious, Old Li is still devious; insidious and devious, Old Li is still insidious and devious.

Li Huai De used an open conspiracy to beat Su Weide, while Li Xuewu had long since prepared a conspiracy waiting for the other party to fall into the pit.

The two can truly be said to be well-coordinated and tacitly understood.

No wonder Su Weide said they were neither good things.

Rather than saying the Santa Ya Group gave the Red Star Steel Group a business jet, it's better to say it was selling a favor.

Losing money is impossible; Chantal is a businesswoman, not a philanthropist. The wool comes from the sheep.

Whether it was the cooperation of the Energy General Company, the cooperation of the Engineering Construction General Company, or the delivery of giant ships in compensation trade, the Red Star Steel Group showed excellent credibility.

This allowed the Santa Ya Group to master an absolute production advantage in international trade, and its strength was further improved.

You say the 200,000 business jet was given away just like that, but you didn't see how much she made in the international market.

Of course, this is not jealousy, and even Old Li admits this point: money outside of cognition cannot be earned.

Just like the Hongtu passenger bus produced by the Steel City Automobile Factory and the Special Vehicle Preparation Factory of the Red Star Steel Group.

You tell me, what technical content does this kind of customized passenger bus have?

In early July, Li Xuewu came forward to entertain representatives from several provincial government offices in the north. The other party came to receive the Hongtu passenger buses ordered earlier.

This time, three vehicles were also delivered, and there were new orders.

Tianjin Aquatic Products General Company ordered one, Beijing Chemical Industry ordered one, and other United Enterprises also had representatives come to inspect this car.

It was really because the spokesperson chosen by the Red Star Factory earlier was effective. Premier Zhou had taken this type of vehicle several times recently.

Including going to some provinces to investigate work, these vehicles also appeared, which immediately aroused the attention of various provincial and municipal government offices. Only after asking did they know that this was a sub-brand of Red Star Automobile.

Red Star makes cars, making more and more.

Not only is the production capacity high, but even the brands and categories are many. In just two years, by utilizing the technical gap in supply chain and assembly line production domestically, it has achieved a big stride toward an advanced automobile enterprise.

Premier Zhou taking this car also had a clear purpose, which was to highlight the new driving force of domestic automobile development, and also to put some pressure on relevant departments and enterprises. If you can't learn, can't you copy homework?

It really doesn't work. Red Star Automobile has borrowed a lot of technology from excellent products of peers, but there are very few enterprises that copy Red Star Automobile.

The reason is very simple: Red Star Automobile follows a high cost-performance business idea, with high quality requirements and low prices.

In other words, the cost compression capability is strong, and it's not afraid of price wars. Anyone who follows Red Star Automobile will definitely fall.

Of course, Red Star Automobile has such R&D, production, and sales capabilities without being arrogant enough not to know who it is.

The pride and sense of belonging of the group's employees have obviously improved. As for whether there are any who are arrogant, Li Xuewu doesn't know.

However, very few cadres in the group are arrogant; they are all very down-to-earth.

Probably the only one who is arrogant is Old Li. He has now learned to avoid people and is very afraid of others praising him.

Before, he often contacted this factory and that factory to eat and play cards together, but now he avoids them if he can.

In the past, the small canteen and reception office had to prepare a table every night; Director Li had to entertain the leaders above.

Now? Director Li is cultivating his character.

The better the Red Star Steel Group develops, the more pressure Li Huai De feels, so much so that he doesn't dare to show off casually.

You tell me, working so hard, if you can't show off, what's the point of working?

What is the purpose of building the country?

Isn't it just to be able to shout "continue the music and continue the dance" while drunk?

Now the music is gone, and the dance is gone.

He is also afraid of the current organizational ecological environment, even his favorite program, going to the dance troupe to be a sparring partner, has stopped.

For no other reason, Su Weide is staring at him like a wild dog, waiting for him to make a mistake so he can strike at his butt.

No one could move his butt; Li Huai De's caution has its reasons.

A leader can be low-key, but products cannot be low-key.

The Hongtu passenger bus is on the right track. After discussing with several other leaders, Li Xuewu decided to invest more workers in this project of the Special Vehicle Preparation Factory, and the monthly production capacity was increased to 6 vehicles.

Don't say Li Xuewu is exerting great effort to pull thin shit; the frame of the Hongtu passenger bus is assembly line production, and the rest is customized manual production.

From design to decoration, all links are completed by designers and engineers leading manual technicians bit by bit.

This is somewhat similar to later generations buying a camper frame and modifying it yourself.

The difference is that in this era, there are no rich supply chain products of later generations, and many parts are temporarily processed or hand-rubbed.

So a car costing 80,000 to 90,000, or even up to 100,000 yuan, is really not black-hearted; it purely belongs to the sentiment of Red Star Automobile.

Also, don't look down on sentiment. The few Tantus and Land Cruisers that Li Xuewu let them hand-rub have cheated... attracted quite a lot of investment.

There has been no news for a while. Li Xuewu just silently paid attention without any news; no news is good news.

Car Research Institute said they wanted money, so he gave money; said they wanted people, so he gave people. If the Car Research Institute's products couldn't be done, he would want their lives.

In June, Li Shu was shouting that it was hot, and in July, Li Shu said she was almost hot into a dog.

There was a dog raised by a neighbor next door. Every time she saw the dog sticking out its tongue in the heat, she would feel the same way.

She, who still had no concept of summer vacation, had no idea how precious the current happy time was.

Li Xuewu secretly pondered that the piano or art teacher had not yet been settled, but he had not relaxed about his daughter's education.

It got hot in July, and work slowed down, so time passed quickly.

Li Xuewu's work had some free time, so he began to study hard and work hard on his studies.

In addition to asking professors at the Steel Institute for advice and learning, Shangguan Qi's private lessons had also been persisted in.

The more the two contacted, the closer Shangguan Qi felt toward him, and she could even make some small jokes in her daily life.

Going home at night, looking at Gu Ning who was studying seriously, Li Xuewu also had a trace of crisis.

Can't he be the lowest in academic status in the family in the future?

Who was it? A female star said her family members were all from Huashing, and only she was an actor.

Although this statement has the suspicion of showing off, it can also be seen that the country respects and admires culture.

Li Xuewu hoped that Gu Ning could study well. The training class she was reading now is equivalent to a graduate student, and it would be better to be a doctor in the future.

The children are the same, learning as far as they can.

As for him, attaching importance to cultural cultivation and learning can not only provide help in work but also provide advantages in progress.

He is already reading university. Whether he can graduate smoothly is not up to him, and even the president of the Steel Institute doesn't count.

This has to wait for the notice from above. The graduates of his session have no policy-based graduation conditions.

So, he hasn't even finished his undergraduate degree, so he can't envy the professional training classes of the graduate student level. Should he write another book?

(Who said there's no paper in the village toilet!)

Li Xuewu's persona as a cultural person is still successful. Now everyone knows he is a security cadre, but very few people express this label independently or emphasize it deliberately.

Capable of both literature and martial arts, outstanding ability, steady and atmospheric is the impression he gives people now.

This has something to do with the three books he wrote.

One is "Criminal Psychology," one is "Emergency Plan," and one is "Protecting the People."

These three books all have professional choices, which are Li Xuewu's insights and summaries in his work.

Now if he writes a book, he can't continue to write "Protecting the People." This is going backward and cannot deepen the impression of him as a security cadre.

Then write about protecting what?

Li Xuewu thought for half the night, and finally wrote two more words on the spread manuscript paper: industry.

Gu Ning got up at night, saw the light in the study was still on, and walked over to see him, wanting to urge him to rest.

After dinner, Li Xuewu told her he wanted to write a book.

Gu Ning didn't feel surprised, because Li Xuewu's identity as a writer had been recognized by society and professionals.

He hadn't determined what to write yet. From after dinner to upstairs, he sat behind the desk and held back for several hours.

When she went upstairs to coax the children to sleep, she took a look and saw the words "protect" on the manuscript paper.

Gu Ning thought he had ideas but no train of thought. Writing a book is still a process of extraction and summary, so she shouldn't disturb him.

What she never expected was that Li Xuewu's extraction time was a bit long.

Look at the table clock, 4 hours have passed, and there are only two more words?

"Or, let's not write this book."

Gu Ning also rarely had a sense of humor, deliberately teasing him, "I admit you have more literary cultivation and talent than me, okay?"

"Gu Ning, what do you mean?"

Li Xuewu was ashamed and angry, made a gesture to pat the table lightly, stared at her, and emphasized, "Do you look down on my writing or ability?"

"I look down on you for lighting a candle and only writing four words." Gu Ning was indeed a cold-faced comedian, pointed at the manuscript paper and said, "At this speed, your group completes the industrial construction plan, and you may not even finish this book. Who are you going to protect by then?"

"Abominable, who did you learn such a poisonous mouth from!" Li Xuewu pretended to stand up angrily, pulled her arm and said, "Today if I don't tidy you up, you really don't know who is the master of the house."

"What are you doing—Li Xuewu—" Gu Ning saw he was going to do bad things and hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, "Li Ning will wake up in a while, you can't do this—mm—bad guy—"

The matter of four words in four hours must never be spread out. Li Xuewu couldn't bear this kind of blow.

He set a goal for himself: this book must be finished before the end of the year as a monument for his trip to Liaodong.

Protecting industry, isn't that exactly what he is going to do and practice?

On Sunday, Zhong Yuemin finally waited for Zhou Xiaobai's free time and made an appointment with her to go boating in Beihai.

Why not go to Kunminghu in the Summer Palace?

Because a person cannot fall into the same pit twice, he, this greenhorn, also gained experience in love.

It is of course fun to go to the Summer Palace to boat on Kunminghu, especially boating on the lake. This season is a good place to escape the heat.

But there is one point: going from the East City to the Summer Palace is a long way. Even if there is a motorcycle now, who can stand it in the hot weather?

No need to think, without a car, Zhong Yuemin would absolutely not be stupid enough to make an appointment with Zhou Xiaobai to go boating in Kunminghu.

Just Beihai, it's close and fun.

Boating is not the purpose; the purpose is who you are boating with.

The fashionable ways of playing pursued by young people generally really couldn't enter Zhou Xiaobai's eyes, and there were really not many that Zhong Yuemin could show.

Hearing that Zhang Haiyang picked up Zhou Xiaobai to the train station some time ago, Zhong Yuemin's heart had already sounded an alarm.

Although his father's situation was similar to Zhang Haiyang's father, both were in closed-door study, but his family was not in the courtyard.

This point made him very distressed. There were some relationships he couldn't connect with, especially in the performance of the supply chain sales network.

He had been working very hard to organize and connect the relationships his father left him, but there were really not many he could use.

But Zhang Haiyang relied on his brother's relationships and found quite a few uncles, and his performance was also more than his.

This time Zhou Xiaobai came to Beihai with him, which was also intended to remind him to work hard and not be a stepping stone.

She could be considered to have played Zhang Haiyang and Zhong Yuemin clearly. She didn't want either of them, but she still fished them.

Boating on Beihai, Zhong Yuemin was overjoyed. There were only two of them on this boat.

The boat had a fiberglass bottom, the frame was solid wood, and it was styled, simple and good-looking.

He rowed the boat and talked to Zhou Xiaobai about his recent life and secret longing, but Zhou Xiaobai pretended not to hear.

Until they talked about business and work, Zhou Xiaobai explained his recent slackness in detail.

Zhong Yuemin is such a person: has awareness, has thoughts, no perseverance.

Being able to chase Zhou Xiaobai for so long was also out of a sense of fighting, competing with Zhang Haiyang.

You can say he is a young man, but how much does he really like Zhou Xiaobai? Actually, it's hard to say.

Can you say how much you like your first love?

In Zhang Haiyang's eyes, Zhou Xiaobai is pure, the ultimate embodiment of the courtyard girl. In Zhong Yuemin's eyes?

Unclear, indescribable. He even began to be tired of Zhou Xiaobai talking to him about work and business.

"Xiaobai, I like you."

Zhong Yuemin said this sentence in a tone of "if I die, I die, it doesn't matter." After saying it, he felt it wasn't that embarrassing.

What was it really? What kind of answer did he expect from Zhou Xiaobai?

"To tell you the truth, there are many people who like me." Zhou Xiaobai had expected this day since Zhang Haiyang confessed, so she said very calmly, "Are you sure you are the sincere kind?"

"What do you mean?" Zhong Yuemin didn't understand and asked with a frown, "Do you suspect I'm playing around?"

"No, I suspect you are wearing some kind of filter when you look at me." Zhou Xiaobai shook her head slightly, "I don't feel there is any place in me worth your pursuit, so be serious."

She looked at Zhong Yuemin and said, "If you want to confess, you must seriously determine and think carefully. Don't use a vague tone; it makes you look stupid."

"You haven't answered me yet." Zhong Yuemin admitted he was a bit stupid just now, but he couldn't admit it in his mouth, "I like you."

"I answered you, there are many people who like me." Zhou Xiaobai looked at him, repeated the words just now, and continued, "You don't like me. Like others, you like the introverted temperament, the love of literature, the intoxication of youth, the innocent and romantic Zhou Xiaobai. I am not."

"Then who are you?" Zhong Yuemin asked with a mix of anger and amusement, "Are you someone pretending to be Zhou Xiaobai?"

"No, I am Zhou Xiaobai who has learned reality, learned to think about problems with a brain and mature thinking, and planned life."

Zhou Xiaobai shook her head slightly, "Maybe it will disappoint you. If you are not willing to row back, then I will jump down and swim back to the shore."

The anger Zhong Yuemin received from Zhou Xiaobai was all held against Zhang Haiyang. The anger Zhou Xiaobai received from him all went to Li Xuewu to act like a spoiled child.

Since the last time the two "contacted" seriously, Zhou Xiaobai was sure that as long as she persisted, she would definitely become his own person.

Why say this?

Because her parents' attitude toward her current life is changing, rarely emphasizing her emotional relationship again.

Maybe it's because they can see Li Xuewu's protection and care for her, maybe it's because they can see her satisfaction and optimism about her current life.

Or maybe the parents are really busy and have no time to manage her. In short, Zhou Xiaobai feels that she has matured, grown up, and it is time to plan her life.

This has to be said, what kind of person she wants to become.

There are no excellent examples around her. Li Xuewu is the object she worships and admires, but not the goal of her career ideal.

After a long time of commercial contact, Zhou Xiaobai also has her own understanding and views, and even more confidence.

She spends more and more time in the office, and her degree of participation in management and operation is getting deeper and deeper.

Even in the process of playing with Li Xuewu, she can discuss the supply chain operation situation with him for a long time.

The Beijing supply chain system has a batch of new tea.

Don't misunderstand, it's not the kind of green tea you think of. It is a project cooperation negotiated by Deputy Director Su when he went to Guangzhou for a meeting and study, and passed by Yuezhou for sales investigation.

Good tea from the south. It was rare for Deputy Director Su to negotiate a project, and he wanted to take this opportunity to avoid that damn plane that made him feel like he was on pins and needles, but Li Huai De never let him go.

The tea project was signed, but who should the tea be sold to?

There is a lot of labor tea among the tea brought back. Even if it is used as a welfare item, it really can't be sold through the sales channel.

Unless you lose money and shout, what is the point?

Li Xuewu wanted to be insidious to Su Weide, but he didn't take action this time because economic work is the focus of the factory.

No matter who it is, as long as the starting point is for the economic construction of the group, Li Huai De will not allow anyone to make an issue of this.

The commercial miracle built by one hand, Li Xuewu also couldn't bear to see his labor achievements tarnished.

So a large batch of new tea entered the supply system. The project Zhou Xiaobai talked to Li Xuewu about was this one.

Tea, since ancient times, has been a necessity.

It is not a luxury, not a decoration, it is a fixed noun in tea and after-dinner, tea must be drunk regardless of high or low.

Zhou Xiaobai thought that such a large batch of unplanned tea pouring into the market would inevitably cause adverse effects.

Discussing with Teacher Wu, she wanted to combine the convenience of the Trade Management Center to expand the tea distribution channels.

Li Xuewu listened to her explanation and asked in a different way, "Do you think tea only has one use of brewing?"

Su Weide is a bastard. For the sake of performance, he didn't look at the category and quantity of tea, let alone whether it was new or old, and signed it all at once.

Now it's good, the distribution unit is in trouble.

"Today, Yingcheng Shipping delivered a 15,000-ton container cargo ship to Dongfeng Shipping. Do you know what this means?"
